I can see this project will be full of pie puns…
Anyway, the model b raspberry pi has been purchased from the good folks over at https://www.modmypi.com/.
I did try to arrange my own starter kit via amazon, however the price turned out to be more. In addition, I'm pretty satisfied that the products I'll receive from modmypi will be manufactured in the UK, and will be the most recent models/revisions. Below are the details of the starter kit.
Raspberry Pi Starter Kit Including Raspberry Pi
– Raspberry Pi Case: ModMyPi – Colour: Orange
– USB Cable Select: Noodle – Orange – 2m
– Video Cable Select: HDMI Noodle – Orange..
– RJ45 Cable Select: Orange – 2m
– SD Card Size: 8GB w/ Official Adap..
– Power Supply Select: 5V 1.5A – UK
Plexus Single-Slot USB2.0 Card Reader (SD, SDHC, MMC)
So everything is on its way, 1-3 working days via Royal Mail, hopefully I can have a play around with the kit this weekend!.
In addition, I've managed to acquire a 7″ LCD monitor for testing (as I intend to use a 12″ monitor for the final build).
I pulled this out of a non-working tablet (Archos 70 internet tablet) that I had stuffed away in a cupboard. It seems to have the right connections but I'm not sure that I will be able to use the LED backlight as this is powered on a separate cable. Below are some pictures and specs for the monitor, more details to follow.
Liquid Crystal Display
Anti-glare treatment Surface Treatment of the front polarizer
Color Depth 8-bit, 16,772,216 colors
Pixel Format 800 horiz. by 480 vert. Pixels RGB strip arrangement
Luminance, White 350 cd/m2 (Typ.)
Power Consumption 0.29W(logic), 1.34W(LED)
Weight 107.7g(Typ)
Display Operating Mode Transmissive mode, normally white
Viewing Direction 6 o'clock
Pixel Pitch 0.1893 mm × 0.1887 mm
Outline Dimension 165×104.6×3.3mm
Active Screen Size 7.0 inches diagonal
Here is the PDF file with the specifications > LB070WV6-TD08 Specifications
Completely unsure as to how to connect this up, I believe there is a separate board that I need for the RPi which allows monitors to be powered and used, so some research will need to be done.
As you can see, the LED back light seems to have a separate cable which connects to a separate circuit board. The board contains micro-switches for the tablet – power on/reset, volume up and down.

358. All Hallow's Eve
A candle flickers through the carved pumpkin's eyes,
While overhead a blood - thirsty vampire bat flies,
In the distance you can hear the wolves' hungry cries,
And listen to the final moments of their victim as it dies.
It is on this night that the restless dead once again rise,
And black witches casting their magical spells hypnotize,
Black cats and creepy crawling spiders we tend to trivialize,
But on this most unholy day our reasoning they compromise.
Beware when night has fallen and the moon rules the skies,
This is when the Mischief Monger weaves his devious lies,
He preys upon the gullible, he has for them a big surprise,
Loki will treat them to a dirty trick instead of a sweet prize.

Acute Kidney Injury
Prepregnancy AKI Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Pregnancy
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 2017;28(5):1566-1574
There are few data available on the effect of clinically recovered acute kidney injury (AKI) on future pregnancy outcomes. Jessica Sheehan Tangren, MD, and colleagues retrospectively studied all women who delivered infants between 1998 and 2007 at Massachusetts General Hospital. The outcome of interest was whether there was an association of a previous episode of recovered AKI with subsequent adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
The women with recovered AKI had increased rates of preeclampsia compared with the control group (women without kidney disease) (23% vs 4%; P<.001). Infants of women in the recovered AKI group were born earlier than infants of women in the control group (37.6 vs 392 weeks; P<.001), with increased rates of small for gestational age births (15% vs 8%; P=.03).
Following adjustment for multiple variables, recovered AKI remained associated with increased risk for preeclampsia and adverse fetal outcomes. The association also remained following matching 1:2 by age, race, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, parity, and diabetes status.
In summary, the researchers said, "A past episode of AKI, despite return to normal renal function before pregnancy, associated with adverse outcomes in pregnancy."
Dipyrone in the ICU Associated with Adverse Renal Side Effects
European Journal of Anaesthesiology. DOI:10.1097/EJA.0000000000000627
Dipyrone (metamizole) is used in perioperative and intensive care unit (ICU) pain therapy, but there are few data on its potential renal side effects, particularly in the critical care environment. Researchers, led by Thomas Stueber, MD, recently conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the perioperative nephrotoxic potential of dipyrone in patients prone to acute kidney injury (AKI). The single-center study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital from January 2013 until June 2013, and included 500 consecutive patients ≥18 years of age who were referred to the anesthesia ICU.
Analysis found an association between the use of dipyrone and an increased incidence of AKI in dose-dependent manner with a 1.6-fold increase in the incidence of AKI with each additional gram of intravenous dipyrone per day. In addition, patients who received dipyrone in the ICU presented with a prolonged duration of vasopressor therapy.
"Increasing dipyrone dosage is a potential independent risk factor for AKI in adult ICU patients and may prolong vasopressor therapy. Clinical evidence for a benefit of dipyrone therapy in the ICU is insufficient and needs further critical evaluation," the researchers said.
Chronic Kidney Disease
A Review of Anemia Management in Patients with Kidney Disease
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension. Doi:10.1097/MNH.0000000000000317
David Collister, MD, and colleagues provided a review of the state of anemia management with erythropoietin (EPO)-stimulating agents and iron supplementation in patients with chronic kidney disease and in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis. The review focused on novel therapies.
The review includes data on health-related quality of life as well as the uncertainties concerning the optimal iron utilization in patients with kidney disease. Novel therapies for iron supplementation discussed were iron-based phosphate binders and dialysate iron delivery, as well as alternatives to EPO-stimulating agents such as hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors.
In summary, the researchers said, "Individualization of hemoglobin targets using EPO-stimulating agents and iron supplementation may be considered in younger, healthier patients with kidney disease to improve health-related quality of life. Optimal iron utilization in kidney disease patients in unclear, but novel iron base phosphate binders and dialysate iron delivery may play a role in intravenous iron avoidance and its potential complications. Phase 3 randomized controlled trials of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors are ongoing and are promising new alternatives to EPO-stimulating agents and their known adverse effects."
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
Timing of Initiation of CRRT in the ICU
Journal of Critical Care. dx/doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2016.12.014
Optimal timing for initiation of early continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is uncertain. Seung Don Baek, MD, and colleagues recently conducted an investigation to examine the clinical impacts of three time-interval parameters on morbidity and mortality in a cohort of 177 patients with septic shock-induced acute kidney injury. The intervals studies were: (1) time from vasopressor initiation to CRRT initiation (Tvaso-CRRT); (2) time from intensive care unit (ICU) admission to CRRT initiation (TICU-CRRT); and (3) time from endotracheal intubation to CRRT initiation (Tendo-CRRT).
The proportion of patients with Tvaso-CRRT less than 24 hours was significantly higher compared with those in the non-survival group (84.3% vs 58.5%, P<.001). Tvaso-CRRT less than 24 hours and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score were independent factors associated with 28-day mortality and 90-day mortality. Length of stay in the ICU and duration of mechanical ventilation were significantly correlated with TICU-CRRT and Tendo-CRRT, but not with mortality (P<.001 for both associations).
The researchers said, "Considering the possible therapeutic measurement by physicians on the basis of the results in this study, early CRRT could be defined by a Tvaso-CRRT less than 24 hours."
AVF/AVG Access Safe in ICU Patients on CRRT
Hemodialysis International. doi: 10.1111/hdi.12550
In critically ill patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), insertion of hemodialysis catheters carries the risk of complications; however, the use of arteriovenous fistula of graft (AVF/AVG) is considered contraindicated in this patient population. Anas al Rifai, MD, and colleagues conducted a single-center analysis of 48 consecutive hospitalized patients with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) using AVF/AVG from 2012 to 2013. The primary outcome of interest was complications related to access.
Mean age of the cohort was 60 years, 48% were male, and 88% required vasopressor support. Median duration of AVF/AVG use for CRRT was 4 days. Ten of the 48 patients had complications related to the access and five required catheter placement. Sixty-five percent of the overall cohort survived to hospital discharge and 94% (n=29) had functional AVF/AVG access at time of discharge.
In their conclusion, the researchers said, "In our experience, use of AVF/AVG for CRRT can be performed with a low serious complication rate and low risk of access loss, potentially avoiding catheter-related complications."
Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and CKD
Journal of Diabetes. Doi:10.1111/1753-0407.12546
A recent study was designed to perform a meta-analysis of data from randomized controlled trials on the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The meta-analysis, conducted by Man Yang, MD, and colleagues, included 12 studies representing ten trials. Compared with placebo or no treatment, there was significant improvement in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level at week 12 with DPP-4 inhibitor treatment. The improvement was seen only in patients on dialysis at 24 weeks. Mean change in HbA1c level with DPP-4 inhibitor treatment was equivalent to treatment with sulfonylureas at 52 or 54 weeks.
There were no significant differences in severe or any hypoglycemic events between DPP-4 inhibitors and controls at weeks 12, 24, 52, or 54. However, DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with fewer symptomatic hypoglycemic events compared with sulfonylureas at 52 or 54 weeks.
"DPP-4 inhibitors were effective and comparable with sulfonylureas in type 2 diabetes patients with moderate-to-severe CKD," the researchers said.
Fabray Disease
Men with Classical Fabray Disease Likely to Experience Renal Events
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 2017;28(5):1631-1641
Patients with Fabray disease often experience comorbidities with renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular manifestations. It is known that there are phenotypic differences between classically and nonclassically affected patients, but there are few data on the natural course of classical and nonclassical disease in men and women. Maarten Arends, MD, and colleagues recently conducted a retrospective analysis to examine event-free survival from birth to the first clinical visit, stratified by sex and phenotype.
Patients were classified by phenotype on the basis of characteristic symptoms and enzyme activity. Men and women with classical Fabray disease had higher event rate compared with those with nonclassical disease (hazard ratio [HR] for men, 5.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.17 to 10.00; P<.001; HR for women, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.54-5.40; P<.001). Men with classical Fabry disease had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), higher left ventricular mass, and higher plasma globotriaosylsphingosine concentrations compared with men with nonclassical disease or women with either phenotype (P<.001).
In conclusion, the researchers said, "Before treatment with enzyme replacement therapy, men with classical Fabray disease had a history of more events than men with nonclassical disease or women with either phenotype; women with classical Fabray disease were more likely to develop complications than women with nonclassical disease. These data may support the development of new guidelines for the monitoring and treatment of Fabray disease and studies on the effects of interventions in subgroups of patients."
Geriatric Nephrology
Incidence of Gout Associated with eGFR Level
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 2017;12(4):577-584
There are few data on the risk of gout across stages of chronic kidney disease. Researchers, led by Vivian S. Tan, MD, performed a retrospective cohort study using linked healthcare databases from Ontario, Canada, from 2002 to 2010. The primary outcome of interest was the 3-year cumulative incidence of gout.
The cohort included 282,925 adults ≥66 years of age. Mean age was 75 years and 57.9% were women. Results were stratified by level of kidney function: eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 60-89, 45-59, 30-44, 15-29, and chronic dialysis.
The 3-year cumulative incidence of gout was higher in older adults with lower levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate. In women, the incidence of gout ranged from 0.6% to 3.4%; in men, the incidence ranged from 0.8% to 4.6%, depending on eGFR. Among patients on chronic dialysis, the 3-year cumulative incidence of gout was lower than in those with more moderate reductions in kidney function. Following adjustment for clinical characteristics, the association between a greater loss of kidney function and a higher risk of diagnosed gout remained.
"Patients with a lower level of eGFR had a higher 3-year cumulative incidence of gout, with the exception of patients receiving dialysis. Results can be used for risk stratification," the researchers said.
Risk of Dementia among Older Kidney Transplant Recipients
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 2017;28(5):1575-1583
Kidney transplant recipients ≥55 years of age may develop post-transplant dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated with their long-standing kidney disease and/or neurotoxic immunosuppressive agents. Mara A. McAdams-DeMarco, MD, and colleagues studied 40,918 kidney transplant recipients ≥55 years of age (January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2011) linked to Medicare claims through the US Renal Data System.
Older adults had a 10-year dementia risk that ranged from 5.1% for patients 55 to 60 years of age to 17.0% for transplant recipients ≥75 years of age. The 10-year risk for AD ranged from 1.0% to 6.7%, respectively. Older recipient age and pretransplant diabetes were the strongest predictors for dementia and AD.
Among those who developed dementia, the 10-year graft loss risk was 43.1%, compared with 28.8% among those who did not develop dementia. The corresponding mortality risks were 89.9% and 55.7%, respectively. Results were similar for AD.
"We conclude that older kidney transplant recipients have a high risk of post-kidney transplant dementia and AD, and these sequelae associate with a profound effect on patient and graft survival," the researchers said.
Integrated Treatment Approach Helps Older Patients Self-Manage CKD
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. 2017;12(4):635-634
Self-management is an important component of a treatment regimen for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Older patients with CKD may find the self-management component challenging, due to the effect of aging on functional capacity. C. Barrett Bowling, MD, and colleagues conducted an exploratory qualitative study designed to examine the relationship among factors facilitating or impeding CKD management in the older patient population. The researchers held six focus groups at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The participants were veterans ≥70 years of age with moderate-to-severe CKD.
Mean age was 75.1 years, 60% were black, and 96.7% were men. The main organizing concept that developed was managing complexity. Participants often had other chronic conditions in addition to CKD, and recommendations for self-management of CKD fell within a complex regimen of recommendations for management of other conditions. One effective strategy suggested was prioritization for managing the complexity, such as focusing on blood pressure control.
In conclusion, the researchers said, "Among older veterans with moderate-to-severe CKD, multimorbidity presents a major challenge for CKD self-management. Because virtually all older adults have multimorbidity, an integrated treatment approach that supports self-management across commonly occurring conditions may be necessary to meet the needs of these patients."

You might think in which during times of economical recession consumers are all over no mood to test with, or purchase innovated products. Counter-intuitively, starting any business or launching a wonderful invention during a recession can be one of the smartest moves to assist you make- depending of course, on if you ingest certain factors into password. Looking at past recessions and consumer psychology can give us ideas concerned with the types of creation that can succeed at some stage in an economic downturn. A number of walk through some on these themes that appear on the psychological marketplace during a recession. how to get an idea patented
Let's start featuring how people will be feeling during them uncertain times. Recessions can generate fear and worry and uncertainty over the minds of all people. All around, people are looking at others suffer economic hardship, losing their very own jobs and hotels. A result of this is a mindful gratitude which experts claim they are not solely that person these types of people see struggling concerned with the nightly data or in their neighborhood. An growth of what one already has, the fact that opposed to solutions one can get becomes paramount. invention companies
That's why numerous inventions that go about doing well during times have that would do with comfort, organization and do-it-yourself products. Nesting correlates to all merchandise related to the specific home; personal possessions, making oneself very much more comfortable and secure, improving home environment, and making your life more useful. It's also a functional known fact that during recessions, a great deal people have far less disposable income to make sure you spend on about out, so personal entertainment and however items are frequently popular. An example of an innovated gaming product initiated during this recession is The Sega "Project Beauty" personal reality video online application (designed for Manufacturers DS), which permits women try away different make-up looks via their Display screen. The Magic Fur Ball helps take care associated your clothing in addition , laundry by reducing people and bunny hair from cloth in the drier. Lumbarwear is per soft undergarment which experts claim supports core and back strength, even while providing comfort returning to the wearer. Tag Tamers is one other product that makes comfort by reducing the itchiness related with garment labels eliminating the are required to cut these kind of people out of array. By the way, replenishment products such as this are often great for return sales. The confident Shoe Seen is literally a transparent boots pouch that aids in people organize additionally store their sandals. All of a lot of these are products the fact satisfy that need for nesting. ideas for inventions
Where once people saw life available as a progression involving economic milestones, lessening expectations during a meaningful recession to "just getting by" may routine. Products by which emphasize survival over the economic attack should be vital in the spirits of inventors. To example, Steam Buddie iron that switches dry-cleaner wrinkle-removal (plus, you don't use to drag apart the ironing board) costs about $20, but saves one particular average customer $100's in dry washing bills over the course of every year. Re-usable physical objects that replace disposables, such as Zorbeez absorbent cloths why are used near place of stock towels, will but also appeal to money-strapped consumers.
Back in the exact 1960's, there utilized to be special areas in distribution stores that got rid of "Notions" or problem-solving personal products. Right now these types together with products that spotlight personal preparation are thriving on the actual internet, and all over mail order internet. Examples include Los angeles Fashion Tapes, boost sided clear mp3 for "fashion emergencies", and Bosom Button, a discreet jewel-like pin which will take people to outfits clothes with embarrassingly low necklines, or to turn scarves interested in skirts.

Let's Go to the Movies!
Man we wanted to see that movie. However, we were in between babysitters.
Sheer numbers required that we use adults at that point, I mean, who in this day and age had five kids? Most sentient beings over the age of 18 however, wanted extraordinary funding in return for doing what I did for free daily. Those who agreed, we used until they wizened up. I don't think my kids were that difficult. She really wanted to go back home to Nepal. That's what she said in the letter anyway. The next babysitter who had lived in the town home across from us, suddenly enrolled in the community college and got very very busy. Then her phone stopped working altogether.
Our third sitter opted for a slightly less dramatic exit; she got married and had her own kids before moving out of the country. Having no grandparents within less than a six hour drive, we were going to miss out on Peter Jackson's second installment until it came out on DVD. Then we hit upon what seemed to us, a brilliant idea.
The late show. We'd wait an excruciating four weeks, when the crowds had significantly ebbed, and then, with the youngest dressed in sweatpants that could double as pj's, we'd take them to the movies and they'd fall asleep while we watched. Genius. Pure Genius!
The day arrived and willingly, we forked over what would have been the equivalent of a baby sitter's fee in kids' tickets, and even more for the obligatory popcorn.
We were savvy enough to make sure no one got caffeine. We were punting on the parent screening of suitable material with respect to imaginary monsters, violence, scope, but we weren't so stupid as to pump them up with sugary guaranteed keep up until two o'clock am juice.
The last showing for the Two Towers was at 10:10. All of our ducklings tended to drop off at 8:30. They wouldn't last past the previews we told ourselves. Those couples who had managed to get a date night out sans kids looked slightly askance in our direction. We smiled weakly back and hoped our kids would be snoring silently soon.
Delusional. If NFL color commentators were able to screen our actions, they'd have explained to the audience what a mistake it was to start this project so late in the evening. The better play would have been to go to the movie at 8:30 proper, so natural fatigue would set in and do the job. Telling the kids they were going to a show and then postponing it past bed time by a good hour and half, we had missed the open window between natural sleepiness and getting that third wind.
The kids were actually reasonably good, only getting scared when say, there were lots of orcs in the scenes. One climbed into my lap and covered her eyes. Another made good use of his Dad's arm. The other three sat immersed in the film, including one I would have preferred to have seen a bit scared. I caught the eye of a woman sitting with her husband; she gave me a tsking look that said, "You should have known..." I resisted the urge to offer her the opportunity to babysit.
Since then, we haven't tried that plan. In fact, we've only made it to a few movies since the trilogy ended. One of them was Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I remember it vividly because sitting next to me was a family including four small kids and I spent much of the whole movie mentally wondering what possessed this mother to bring her young children on a Friday night to see a PG-13 movie and at the same time forcing myself not to give the tsking look. The woman must have sensed my struggle as she stopped to mention, "My babysitter quit on me and moved to France."
Now that I have teenagers, it's possible for us to return to the movies with a clean conscience, but I get text messages from my oldest two. "M& P had a fight. No one was hurt. When r u coming home?"
Paying my son for eating pizza with his friends and watching his siblings who had already gone to bed felt vaguely like extortion but my husband viewed it as an investment. "We're guaranteed if we keep having him babysit, he'll leave home."
He might even go abroad.
"Hey honey, what's showing this weekend?"

First thing I thought when you mentioned the 10:10 showing - No! It's too late!
Nice try, though.
And I haven't forgotten you - I'll give you a call tomorrow to see what your dinner situation looks like. Or e-mail me.

OK, my first reaction is this:
you planned the RIGHT movie showing....but the WRONG strategy. Here's mine. Call your very best friend and plead "I'll have EVERYONE fed and in bed BEFORE I NEED TO LEAVE to make the 2:30am showing of this movie we're hoping to keep ourselves awake through!....all you have to do is sleep on the couch and count heads should the house catch on fire"......
That's about the only way I get anyone to watch my group. 3, not 5...but all between 19months and 43 months...and all with special needs.
That is when Mimi isn't available....thank God for Mimi.
but mostly we use Netflix.

It just happened again. I started to do one simple little thing and it immediately and without Malice Aforethought evolved into the murdering of 20 innocent minutes. I picked up a dust bunny off the floor and went to throw it in the wastebasket in a bathroom.
That done successfully, I noticed the scent effuser was low on those smell-good wax cubes so I went to the closet to get more. Yes, I know, effuser is not a word, but it should be…you know exactly what I mean by it. That at least one closet shelf had not been cleaned recently was obvious. You've been there. Your innate sense of order will not let you leave a new distraction until you have conquered it. Or maybe it's procrastination about getting those taxes, dishes, or laundry…whatever.
So you all know what happened next. The tub of batteries got straightened and revealed that Ihave more 9v batteries than I will ever need, 3 watch batteries I should have known about before I bought that last one, and enough D cell flashlight batteries to get me through the next lights-out storm in fine fashion. Oh, here's an open box of Kleenex? Recyclable trash comes out at a respectable amount…mostly pieces of cellophane wrappers and plastic (from those battery packages), but also one empty metal can. Oh, and here is that real pine-wood-chip incense that smells so good…in a pewter can with seashells on the top. Yeah, that makes sense, I said to myself satirically. Let's put this in front where I can see it. Nails and screws get put in their respective drawers in that multi-drawer cabinet thingy that most people keep in the garage.
Laundry? Dishes? No, but least that shelf is done.
Share with a reply what diverts your attention.

Mr Züger, you're an expert in the production of fresh dairy products, and are highly successful in Germany as well, with your lactose-free product line for example, and you also do business in the Gulf States and Scandinavia. Those two regions are included in the focus of this year's Impulse: Food – Innovation from Tradition.Impulse: Food – Innovation from Trad.
What is your approach to selecting export markets, especially in view of the fact that you are selling fresh foods?
We sell our fresh dairy products in Europe. Their average expiration date is in 30 days. That makes exporting outside the EU difficult, particularly because all our overseas transport is by ship. Outside the EU we sell mainly our IQF frozen mozzarella specialties. The product is flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen using IQF (Individual Quick Frozen) technology. This technology allows freezing products individually, so they retain their specific shape, texture, and taste. Our IQF products keep for an average period of 540 days at -18°C.
How does the company position its dairy products in the GCC states? How, for example, do you ensure your supply chain is optimally secure, or that your products are halal-compliant?
In the GCC countries, we sell our IQF mozzarella specialties to the hotel industry. Our products are thus used in breakfast buffets, for example, for sandwich-making and in convenience products. These products are in the premium price segment in the GCC states.
The cold chain must be maintained all the way from the factory. Product quality otherwise is greatly compromised; the products would no longer be edible. We thus have the corresponding Incoterms (international commercial terms) contractually in place, to regulate risk and responsibilities.
The company has to be certified to supply Halal products; an annual audit is conducted. Documentation is kept of compliance with the relevant regulations. Our staff members are trained accordingly, and production is overseen by our quality management.
Are there similar circumstances in the Scandinavian countries? Particular regulations for example or consumer trends and preferences?
We are now supplying IQF frozen dairy products there as well. Plans are to introduce fresh products for food service as well. Finland requires a maximum residual lactose content of 0.01% for lactose-free products, as compared to the standard 0.1% in Switzerland and in the EU. We have developed a technology for complying with this threshold that enables us to supply products in that segment.
Norway is an EFTA member state. To export cheese to that country you first have to acquire a quota. That complicates export, due to the high quota handling risk.
What role does innovation play with classic dairy products?
Innovations, principally technological ones, are highly important, as they allow us to sell our dairy products with added value. Production is more expensive in Switzerland than in the EU, as our milk price is higher. We have to recoup this difference by selling added-value products for which our customers are willing to pay extra.
Impulse: Innovation from Tradition
At our Impulse: Food to be held in Fribourg on 10/27/2016 and in Baden on 11/08/2016 you can discuss challenges and opportunities in the food industry like market entry with other Swiss SMEs.
About Christof Züger
Christof Züger and his brother jointly manage the family firm Züger Frischkäse AG in its second generation. After completing a traditional cheesemaking apprenticeship he studied food engineering at the ETH in Zurich.

Justice for Madeleine and Mary
Demand for the truth about what happened to Madeleine McCann is likely to continue even if London's Metropolitan Police Service has to give up its Operation Grange investigation when the funds run out.
A remarkable example of public determination and fortitude in a missing child case took place in Ireland last Saturday.
A silent vigil was held outside the Donegal County Coroner's offices to demand justice for Mary Boyle, who disappeared without trace at the age of six while visiting her grandparents' farm near Ballyshannon 41 years ago.
Family and friends have called for an inquest to establish exactly what happened to Mary on March 18, 1977.
They believe she was killed by a known suspect and then became the subject of a police cover-up instigated by a politician.
Those taking part in the demonstration on Saturday included Mary's twin sister, Ann Doherty. The protest group, wearing purple ribbons and holding purple balloons, handed in a petition containing more than 10,000 names.
Joe Craig, Mary's cousin and spokesperson for the Justice for Mary Boyle Campaign, said: "Time is running out and we simply cannot allow this to be dragged on any longer."
Mr Craig added: "All we are asking for is to allow the events of that day to be pieced together at an inquest so we can move on. Is that too much to ask?"
Madeleine's parents have always claimed their daughter was abducted and believe she may still be alive.
The Met has so far spent more than £11 million of taxpayers' money on Operation Grange but has apparently not managed to find a shred of solid evidence to solve the mystery.
A response is still awaited from the British Home Office to last month's request for more funding, which came at a time when the Met, along with police forces throughout the UK, are under severe budget pressure and laying off thousands of officers.
Aside from such pressure, many analysts have described the Operation Grange investigation as a "sham".
Colin Sutton, a highly respected senior Met detective now in retirement, has been more concise in his criticism.
Last May, around the 10th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance, he said the investigation had been so "restricted" from the start that it was destined to fail.
After being tipped to lead Operation Grange, Colin Sutton was advised against it in a phone conversation with another senior Met officer. He was told that operation Grange would be restricted to the abduction theory.
Colin Sutton has not elaborated since last May, but nor has he backtracked on his comments.
He said recently: "I have no reason to change my view that Grange was never a comprehensive reinvestigation of all possible theories and that unless and until it changes that focus it will be doomed to fail."
As in the Mary Boyle case, a great many people would like clarification about the way the Madeleine case has been conducted.

Last weekend I arranged a shoot with Laura, aka Summer30, who I have worked with many times. Occasionally Laura asks if I will shoot her with one of her many friends, and this time her friend Harriet wanted to have some shots done as well.
On the Saturday morning I drove up to Cheltenham to collect the girls for the shoot, I had hoped to hire a studio in the town but it is very popular and you need to book it well in advance of any shoot, so I then drove all the way back home to use a studio local to me.
Once at the studio the girls headed straight into the cafe next door to the studio, a spare room in a second hand car dealership, and bought coffee for them and myself. I then set about getting the compact studio set up, fortunately the heating was on in the studio, which helped to make the conditions more comfortable all round.
Once in the studio I noted how tall Harriet is, as she seemed to tower over Laura, who is quite tall at five foot eight inches tall. As the studio is small and has a limited ceiling height I could see I was going to have to be on my feet for most of the shoot so that Harriet's head did not cut across the top of the background. The background that I use at this studio is black velvet, which suits my style o work.
Over the three hours of the shoot we took a wide variety of shots, and Harriet took to modelling with ease, and both were comfortable working together. Laura has had a new tattoo since I last worked with her and I did set up one image to emphasise it. In all a fairly successful shoot, and I hope to work with both girls again soon.

VISCOUNT GEORGE BYNG TORRINGTON (1663-1733), English admiral, was born at Wrotham, Kent. His father, John Byng, was compelled by pecuniary losses to sell his property and his son entered the navy as a king's letter boy (see NAVY) in 1678. He served in a ship stationed at Tangier, and for a time left the navy to enter one of the regiments of the garrison, but in 1683 he returned to the navy as lieutenant, and went to the East Indies in the following year. During the year 1688, he had an active share in bringing the fleet over to the prince of Orange, and by the success of the revolution his fortune was made. In 1702 he was appointed to the command of the " Nassau," and was at the taking and burning of the French fleet at Vigo,. and the next year he was made rear-admiral of the red. In 1704 he served in the Mediterranean under Sir Cloudesley Shovel, and reduced Gibraltar. He was in the battle of Malaga, and for his gallantry received the honour of knight-hood. In 1708 as admiral of the blue he commanded the squadron which baffled the attempt of the Old Pretender to land in Scotland. In 1718 he commanded the fleet which defeated the Spaniards off Cape Passaro and compelled them to withdraw from their invasion of Sicily. This commission he executed so well that the king made him a handsome present and sent him full powers to negotiate with the princes and states of Italy. Byng procured for the emperor's troops free access into the fortresses which still held out in Sicily, sailed afterwards to Malta, and brought out the Sicilian galleys and a ship belonging to the Turkey Company. By his advice and assistance the Germans retook the city of Messina in 1719, and destroyed the ships which lay in the basin—an achievement which completed the ruin of the naval power of Spain. To his conduct it was entirely owing that Sicily was subdued and the king of Spain forced to accept the terms prescribed him by the quadruple alliance. On his return to England in 1721 he was made rear-admiral of Great Britain, a member of the privy council, Baron Byng of Southill, in the county of Bedford and Viscount Torrington in Devonshire. He was also made one of the Knights Com- fairs, and a great market " furnished from far on every quarter, being the most convenient place for occasions of king or county in those parts." The Saturday market is still maintained, but the fairs have been altered to the third Saturday in March and the first Thursday in May. In 1643 Colonel Digby took up his position at Torrington and put to flight a contingent of parliamentary troops; but in 1646 the town was besieged by Sir Thomas Fairfax and finally forced to surrender. The borough records were destroyed by fire in 1724. See Victoria County History: Devonshire; F. T. Colby, History of Great Torrington (1878).End of Article: VISCOUNT GEORGE BYNG TORRINGTON (1663-1733)

Installing the ESP8266 Board
Here is how to install ESP8266 board into Arduino IDE.
I just followed the steps in this guide.
To install the ESP8266 board in your Arduino IDE, follow these next instructions:
First, I added the URL in the additional boards in the preferences page.
1) Open the preferences window from the Arduino IDE. Go to File > Preferences
Then I opened boards - board manager and chosen Install option.
2) Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into the "Additional Board Manager URLs" field as shown in the figure below. Then, click the "OK" button.
3) Open boards manager. Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager…
4) Scroll down, select the ESP8266 board menu and install "esp8266"
The package is so large (about 157MB).
5) Choose your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board > Generic ESP8266 Module
Then I used FOCA instead of the FTD232 converter.
The FOCA board has the same pins as FTD232 board plus those pins in which you can connect XBee to your PC.
So it can be easily used as a USB to TTL converter.
Make sure to put the voltage selector switch on 3.3V so you don't harm the ESP8266 board.
Test Circuit
This circuit is a simple LED Blinker that uses ESP8266 to blink an LED.
/********* Rui Santos Complete project details at http://randomnerdtutorials.com *********/ int pin = 2; void setup() { // initialize GPIO 2 as an output. pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() { digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(pin, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second }

The head of the Metropolitan Police has called on banks to stop offering refunds to all online banking fraud victims, arguing that the current system essentially rewards people for their lax internet security.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said that if refunds were not guaranteed, it would force the general public to be more vigilant about their online security.
Internet banking fraud resulted in huge losses of £133.5 million last year, a year-on-year jump of a massive 64%.At present if you are the victim of online fraud you can expect to receive a full refund, unless the bank or card supplier can prove you have been "grossly negligent".
But Sir Bernard told The Times this system means people are "continually rewarded for bad behaviour".
"The system is not incentivising you to protect yourself," he told the newspaper. "If someone said to you 'if you've not updated your software I will give you half back,' you would do it."
"Astonishingly misjudged"
However, Sir Bernard's comments have not gone down well with consumer groups.
"With online fraud increasing, this is an astonishingly misjudged proposal from the Met Police Commissioner," said Which? Executive director Richard Lloyd. "When we investigated last year, we found too often that banks were dragging their feet when dealing with fraud. The priority should be for banks to better protect their customers, rather than trying to shift blame on to the victims of fraud."
Paul Green, director of communications at Saga, said that blaming the victims of crime was no way for anyone to behave, let alone a senior police commissioner. He added: "Keeping up with scams is almost a full-time job."
Sir Bernard made his comments as the police are preparing to include cybercrime in official crime statistics for the first time later this year. It is believed that figures will double as a result of the change.
[Related story: The changes to be made on taxes and benefits for 2016/17]
Financial fraud is changing
Banking fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated as criminals try to circumnavigate bank security systems according to research by Financial Fraud Action UK.
"Banks use highly sophisticated security systems to protect their customers, which last year stopped £7 in £10 of fraud from occurring, so criminals are now focusing on targeting consumers directly," says a spokesperson for Financial Fraud Action UK. "Fraudsters are using deception and impersonation scams to trick people into giving away their personal or financial details."
How to protect yourself
Make sure you keep the security software on your computer and smartphones up-to-date and regularly run anti-virus software. Also, create strong passwords that are hard to hack and keep them secure.
As fraudsters try new ways to separate you from your cash, be on your guard when you receive unsolicited calls, texts or emails that ask you for personal or financial information.
"Fraudsters are after people's details which are effectively the keys to the security door – do not let them in," says the spokesperson for Financial Fraud Action UK.

Just Face It
So I'm going to be frank with you, internet. I've had adult acne since I hit the old 2-0, 4 years ago. Until recently I had failed, in an absolute sense, to deal with it. The uprooting of my hormonal stability was a real shock to me.
Since then, I've gone through several phases. Apathetic 'I don't care less' mode; frantic 'trying every product under the sun and burning my skin with harsh products' mode, angry 'I can't believe I'm now an adult and starting to get acne' mode, and the stage I am at now, where my anger has plateaud and I've tried to combat the little devils by improving my diet (and that's another store entirely) and decreasing the amount of 'products' I use on my skin. Since I've taken a hands-on approach to what goes into my body, what goes onto my skin is just as important, is it not?
In the past the Vichy Normaderm range was a bit of a lifesaver, it cleared things up nicely and I was feeling more confident in my skin (second pun of the post, nice one Amy). But Vichy products are expensive. In fact, all cosmetics are ridiculously expensive, and I'm trying to downsize my consumer side all the time. I don't even hugely mind dropping the cash for their products, but I hate the idea of relying on a combination of obscure chemicals to make me feel ok about my skin.
I've almost stopped buying cosmetics altogether (except for lip balm, but I'm going to start making my own very soon) and instead use things I can find in my kitchen to do the things we need to make us clean and feel nice. One method I have for using up left over kitchen bits and giving my skin a bit of a treat.
While in the past I would have dropped a small fortune on something that left my skin raw and red and irritated for the sake of 'treating' it to a facemask, now I just whip up a little something from my kitchen that actually serves a purpose other than sheer decadence, and makes me feel good too.
Tonight I made a face mask using:
A tiny chunk of really ripe avocado
A squeeze of lemon juice
Two tsps of coconut cream
A tsp of coconut oil
I mixed it all into a mulshy/paste, washed my face using a really hot cloth and popped it on. 15 minutes later I rinsed it off using hot water, then rinsed with cold water to close my pores. Later on I'm going to moisturise with coconut oil warmed in the palm of my hand, with some vitamin E oil mixed in.
I've learned to give my skin a break, that overloading it with products won't do you any favour in the short term or long run. Instead, I'm slowly improving my health and hoping that as time goes on my hormones will balance and I will begin to look like the adult I (think I) am.

Session 1:
Eloise Wellings - Olympian and Co-Founder of the Love Mercy Foundation
Eloise Wellings has represented Australia in the 5,000m and 10,000m events at both the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics as well as various Commonwealth Games, including the most recent at the Gold Coast. But 'Olympian' is just one word to describe Eloise. She's also a mother, a mentor, a Christian and a charity-founder.

Session 2:
Brendan Davies - Endurance Runner & Nadine Davies - Clinical Psychologist
There's no doubt running 100miles takes an incredible amount of physical effort but what part does mental strength and resilience play in endurance racing?
Life hasn't always been about hydration packs and checkpoints for Brendan. Hear his story about being a budding squash player, shedding those pesky unwanted kilos and finding his inner runner.
Nadine Davies is a clinical psychologist whose work includes helping athletes of all levels overcome the anxieties, fear, self-doubt, impatience and uncertainty that can often accompany competing.
Together, Brendan and Nadine are a power team in how to tackle a race from all angles and make sure the finish line is crossed with a smile on the face.
Session 3:
Lauren Parker - Paratriathlete & Brad Fearnley - long-time friend and training partner
In less than a year, Newcastle-born Lauren Parker went from a champion, able-bodied athlete to being told she would never walk again, to representing Australia as a paratriathlete in the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
In April 2017, Lauren went for an early-morning training ride with her long-time friend and mentor, Brad Fearnley, in preparation for the Port Macquarie Ironman. The tyres on her bike burst, she hit the guardrail and lost all feeling in her legs. Her spinal cord injury left her with a 0-1% chance of ever walking again. While in the hydro pool of the rehab unit six months later, she hit a turning point. Her sporting career was far from over.
Hear Lauren's inspiring but incredibly difficult story of her journey to the Commonwealth Games, the unlikely but beautiful friendship she shares with her training partner and her hopes for the future.
12.30 - 2pm - Australian premiere of the feature film: Tracktown (ticketed event)
The coming-of-age, cult running movie Tracktown is the exclusive feature film of the 2018 RNFF. It follows 21-year-old Plumb Marigold who is a famous, but lonely, distance runner. She's lived her entire life surrounded by coaches, teammates and fans while training to be an Olympic athlete. Though she excels in her sport, she's always felt like an outsider as her schedule has kept living a 'normal' life at bay. Everything changes when Plumb is ordered to take time off from training to recover for the finals of the Olympic trials. Her forced downtime, including a surprise connection with a boy who works at the local bakery, sets her down an entirely new path. Many of the actors of the film are Olympic athletes themselves, including co-writer, director and lead actor, Alexi Pappas.
2.30pm - 5pm - International premiere of the 2018 RunNation Film Festival (ticketed event)
Presented by Travelling Fit, the 2018 collection of ten original short films will focus on human-interest stories that use running as their medium of storytelling.
Be enthralled by two hours of real-life running motivation; you won't break a sweat but you might shed a tear. From the elite athletes' experience through to the back-of-the-pack runners, you'll live the good, the bad and the painful. Because it's more than just tracks and trails, roads and ultras; these are films that will inspire you to put on your runners and just go.

Impressee: Dr'keld (Drarakeld)
Name: Lobobeth
Pronounciation: Lob-obh-eth
Colour: Blue
Hex Colour Code: B8C1D4
Hatching: Gold Ceocayath x Bronze Escamilloth, Early Winter P8 T18
Final Size: 32' length of 55' wingspan
Mini bio:
The Beauty Queen Blue could be consider aesthetically challenged. He's one of the bulkiest in his clutch, and it certainly doesn't look like muscle. Nor exactly is it folds of baby fat, more like someone has set a layer of jelly under his hide. His shape is a soft one, but firm; all rounded edges, something which is especially apparent on his face and tail. On the ground his movements will one serve to accentuate his blobby physique, but in the air and in the water it will be a different matter. The Beauty Queen Blue will be able to fly higher and dive deeper than the most of the rest of his colour despite his very average size.
In terms of colour, The Beauty Queen Blue could be mistake for a cloud, a soft grey blue covers his whole hide, with only a slightly darker mottling along his back ridges and tail.
A deeply lazy dragon, The Beauty Queen Blue is the sort who will instantly lay down regardless of activity, only raising or moving himself when he actually has to. 'Why expend energy when it is not needed?' will be his philosophy in life. If it's possible to hunt passively The Beauty Queen Blue will find a way!
Despite his aesthetic and energetic challenges The Beauty Queen Blue will find a way to worm himself, not only in to the heart of his lifemate, but also into the heart of his classmates, his teachers, his wingmates, any greens he chooses to chase, and any humans he chooses to Search or speak with. Maybe it's the slightly sad cast to his features which makes you want to hug him or maybe it's his wobbly walk that has you rooting for him from the sidelines; whatever it is The Beauty Queen Blue will gather friends and followers much to Dr'keld's delight.

Editorial: Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 108, p.15565, 2004.
The mechanisms controlling the reduction of cobalt and the growth of metallic cobalt clusters in Co-MCM-41 catalysts at different stages in the process of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) synthesis were investigated both by in-situ and ex-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We have found that prereduction of the catalyst in hydrogen at temperatures below 700 C does not reduce the cobalt ions to metallic cobalt, but removes hydroxyl groups and oxygen ions creating oxygen vacancies and/or a partially reduced cobalt species. The prereduction treatment, however, does increase the density of electrons at the Fermi level weakening the interaction of Co2+ with the silica framework. Subsequent exposure of the catalyst to CO at 750 C causes CO to strongly interact with the cobalt clusters most likely by the transfer of electrons into the d orbitals of Co. This strong interaction makes the cobalt more mobile at the surface and allows it to nucleate into clusters capable of dissociating CO and initiating the growth of SWNT. Prior to exposure to CO, the reduced cobalt species strongly interacting with the silica framework do not nucleate into larger clusters in the presence of He or H2, preserving near atomic cobalt dispersion, as determined by EXAFS.

Now that I've used it a bit, I find I need it more than I thought I would. Cross cut 8/4 maple slab, no problem. That's not its regular duty (or mine). I actually started the cut as a joke (Haw! This ain't gonna cut no --- whoa!). I was amazed at how quickly it did the job. It's a pleasure to use.
I own this product.
By: Baudet (Apr, 2015)
Quality saw, I use it for 90% of my work! I've re sharpened the rip teeth a few times. Cuts straight, fast and leaves good fish in kerf. Screw bald fixing is a bit loose and needs constant tightening. Nice product

Pablo Alborán - Cuerda Al Corazón
Description or Lyrics and Chords
Pablo Alborán - Cuerda al corazón (Audio Oficial)
Prometo ya disponible en: https://WarnerMusicSpain.lnk.to/PabloAlboranPrometoLY
Nunca quise darlo todo por perdido,
mi silencio fueron luces de neón para tu olvido,
soy igual que un adivino, aún sabiendo mi destino, vivo por ese suspiro.
Todo pasa, esto también pasará,
como la tormenta que arrasa y se calma por inercia.
Eres como el oleaje, por mucho que te evite, siempre vuelves, siempre tarde.
Me volverás a llamar cuando el sueño de tu hotel sea un hilo,
cuando no puedas callar todo el ruido que hicimos.
A veces siento el dolor de un pasado que quiere que le grite,
estoy de hecho de historias, pero de historias que no se repiten.
Le diste paso, le diste cuerda al corazón,
y sin embargo, no lograste reparar tanto fracaso.
No fue culpa del azar, encontrarme la mitad de mis preguntas, sin contestar.
Reconozco que me asustaba la verdad,
no fui tramposo, ni ese tipo de novio loco sigiloso,
pero luché por mantener, cada retazo de la mano que me dejé morder
y que tú mordiste más de una vez.
Me volverás a llamar cuando el sueño de tu hotel sea un hilo,
cuando no puedas callar todo el ruido que hicimos.
A veces siento el dolor de un pasado que quiere que le grite,
estoy de hecho de historias, pero de historias que no se repiten.
Te has perdido un amigo,
te has perdido los planes que imaginé contigo
y tardarás en admitirlo.
Te ahogarás en el tiempo,
las cadenas que suenan, las llevas por dentro.
Me volverás a llamar…

Pablo Moreno de Alborán Ferrándiz (born on May 31, 1989 in Málaga), best known as Pablo Alborán, is a Latin Grammy nominated Spanish singer.
Alborán is the son of Spanish architect Salvador Moreno de Alborán Peralta and French Elena Ferrándiz Martínez. He is also the great-grandson of Francisco Moreno Fernández, 1st Marquess of Alborán, and has two siblings: Casilda and Salvador.
From a very young age, he was interested in learning to play various musical instruments such as piano, classical guitar, flamenco guitar, and acoustic guitar, and attended singing lessons with professional artists in Málaga and Madrid. In 2002, at the age of 12, he composed his first songs, "Amor de Barrio" (Neighbourhood Love) and "Desencuentro" (Disagreement) which would be featured 10 years later on his debut album.
In Málaga he performed for the first time with a Flamenco band in a restaurant, and he was nicknamed El Blanco Moreno (The White Moreno), because he "was very pale-skinned and Moreno was my family name", as he stated in an interview in early 2011. Later, Pablo met producer Manuel Illán and recorded a demo, which included a cover of "Deja de Volverme Loca" (Stop Driving Me Crazy) by Diana Navarro. Upon hearing this recording, Navarro expressed great interest in Alborán and became his musical mentor.
In preparation for his first album, Alborán composed a total of 40 songs from which the playlist would be selected. During the recording of this studio album, Pablo Alborán, he uploaded a few songs on YouTube, which gained the attention of many, including singer Kelly Rowland who was amazed by his voice, as far as saying "I'm in love with Pablo Alboran!". His videos have since received millions of views.
"Solamente Tú" (Only You) was digitally released in Spain in October 2010 as the first single of his debut album, which was released in February 2011. Both the single and the album were a huge success, managing to top the Spanish music charts for several consecutive weeks. The album won multiple awards, including 2011 RTVE's Album of the Year, and became Spain's best-selling album in 2011.
Alborán began his first world tour on May 27, 2011 in Madrid at the Palacio Vistalegre, and has since performed in many Latin American countries, among which are Argentina, Chile and Mexico. Following his success, he released his first live album, En Acústico, in November of the same year. It included acoustic versions of most of the tracks in his debut album, as well as two new songs and four bonus tracks. The song "Perdóname" (Forgive Me) was re-recorded featuring Portuguese singer Carminho, and was released as the first single of the album, peaking at number one on the Spanish singles chart on November 13, 2011, thus helping En Acústico to debut also at number one on the albums chart one week later, on November 20, 2011, and to top the Portuguese Albums Chart in January 2012.
In December 19, 2011, Alborán received the 2011 Best New Act award in Los Premios 40 Principales. Both his albums Pablo Alborán and En Acústico were featured in Spain's official list of top-selling albums of 2011, in numbers 1 and 6 respectively, and singles "Solamente Tú" and "Perdóname" were the third and nineteenth best-selling songs in Spain in 2011.

Southern Highlands Food & Wine Festival cancelled after date clash with Tulip Time
The 2018 Southern Highlands Food and Wine Festival, a flagship event that promotes local producers, has been cancelled.
Southern Highlands Food and Wine Association president Mark Bourne said the event could not move forward since the association was yet to receive approval from Wingecarribee Shire Council for the festival to take place in the township of Berrima.
"The Rural Fire Service signed off, NSW Water has signed off, we've also liaised with the people at NSW Parks and Reserves and our liquor license was approved. We were informed 10 days ago that our Development application (DA) had been called up for a full vote of council on August 8, which would only give the association an unrealistic seven weeks to produce the festival," said Mr Bourne.
The annual food and wine festival has been held on the October long weekend at Corbett Gardens in Bowral for the past four years. According to Mr Bourne, council moved the date of Tulip Time to the same weekend at the same location "without discussion or consultation with the association."
"The October long weekend is part of the attraction for the [food and wine] festival. We were forced to find a different location rather than change the date," he said.
Council was contacted for comment in relation to the matter.
A spokesman for council said the original Development Application for the proposed event was deficient in a number of areas, but had since been addressed by the applicant.
"Eight public submissions were received concerning the event," they said.
"As a result of the number and content of submissions received, the Development Application was 'called up' on June 29 to be determined by full council instead of it being determined by council staff under delegated authority.
"The report has subsequently been listed to be considered by Council at the next Ordinary Meeting of July 25."
Former chair of the now defunct economic development and tourism committee, councillor Ian Scandrett said he was "embarrassed and disappointed to find that our processes have failed us."
"In the six years I've been on council we've extensively worked with tourism and food and wine operators and then this happens," Mr Scandrett said.
"I stand by my commitment to tourism as being the prime source of new jobs in this shire and yet, our focus on food and wine clusters as being the prime delivery of tourism clearly is not shared at council," he said.
Mr Bourne said the association hoped to attract more than 8000 people to the Berrima township and economy over the October long weekend and was still seeking to find a solution.
"It's quite devastating, it's the big event for the year but we're still looking for a solution. We've still got a week or two to come up with something," he said.

Just Live a Little, the Northern Ireland producer of premium and healthy breakfast and snack foods, has won its first business in France.
The company, based at Portaferry on the Strangford peninsula in Co Down, is now supplying its luxury, handcrafted breakfast granolas to 50 Franprix stores across France in a new export deal for the family-owned and managed business.
The firm was established by husband and wife team David and Jill Crawford in 2011, and is now among the most successful smaller Northern Ireland food producers in international markets.
"Mediascore Food, a distributor, based near Paris, to both retailers and foodservice operations, was seeking a new supplier of premium granolas and heard about the company through our digital media," said commercial director Jill.
"They approached us to see if we would be interested in supplying granola to Franprix, one of their clients.
"We were delighted to provide them with samples and to make a formal pitch for the new business. France was then a new market opportunity for us. It's a huge and quality conscious market with immense potential developing for us from the growing focus, particularly among younger consumers, on healthy breakfast cereals.
"Mediascore liked the products and introduced then to Franprix stores. This led to an initial listing for the granolas in 50 stores across France for launch on 8th May. It's an exciting development for us because Franprix, also headquartered near Paris, is an important grocery retailer within the international Groupe Casino.
"We are looking forward to supporting Franprix to develop awareness among shoppers of our granolas through sampling and other marketing initiatives and thereby to grow our business throughout France."
Franprix is taking two of the granola range Whole Almond and Cranberry and Cashew.
The company has had a strong global focus since its formation and now exports more than 60% of its products outside Northern Ireland. It has developed significant business in Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates.

From the centuries till now, technology has changed many things. Talking about the educational sector, technology has brought several important changes that are no doubt beneficial for everyone. It was not at all easier to manage every single task of schools by hand, but the advanced technology has made it now a matter of seconds or minutes. But as the time is passing by, the expectation level is increasing at a faster pace. Whether it is a faculty, school administration, parents, or students, everyone is looking for the better and reliable school management software. Be it a desktop application, school management website, or school management software app in mobile phones, there are plenty of factors that you should keep in mind while choosing the school management system to make your investment a worthy investment.
Here are some of the essential things that you should keep in mind when choosing school management software app:
- Flexible:
The application should be flexible enough so that it could accept new modifications every time a person wants to bring. Whenever you plan to buy a software or application for management of your school, do not forget to ask about the flexibility factor of the software as you may need to bring a lot of changes in the school management software.
- Scalable:
It is essential that the software should be scalable so that if the number of students increases in a school or college, the software should not fail to offer its services. Therefore, scalability is the crucial factor that needs to be considered when you plan to get a school management software app for your school or college.
- Facility for Steady Updates:
Usually, reputed schools have to add on certain features time to time for the enhancement of the education system. Therefore, software that a school is looking for should be steady enough that it could accept upgrades and could be able to enhance as per the needs of the school administration.
- Reliability:
Reliability is one of the important factors that almost every school or college needs to consider before buying any school management software. It should be ensured that the software has consistency in terms of its services and also software should be accepted by various other reputed schools in the city. Also, check how much improvement has been done in the school management software from the day company developed its first software.
- User-friendly:
This is last but never the least factor that everyone keeps in mind when looking for the school management software because every software should be user-friendly in such a way that no matter who uses the software, it should be easily accessible by any user and user should not face any kind of difficulty while accessing that software.
Planning to buy a school management software app for your school? If yes, do not forget to read the essential factors discussed in this write-up that everyone should remember while choosing school management software. Get the best school accounting software from ZeroERP at affordable prices

How long has it been since you looked at your email? Most people check their emails at least twice a day. Email is doubly important for you, the business owner, as email is an easy way to communicate with your customers. To see how to get started in marketing with email, read on.
Never send out unsolicited marketing emails. Your emails could be flagged as spam if they are sent to customers that didn't want to receive them. This hurts your reputation, and if there are too many complaints about your messages, you may get your IP address blocked.
When developing an marketing via email plan, make sure that every customer on your email list has voluntarily "opted in" to be on that list and provided you with an email address for that specific reason. If you don't have permission, be prepared to not only receive spam complaints but also to lose customers.
Before sending your email, take a step back and proofread it. Every email and newsletter you send out should be error-free. Make sure you test out the format so it will work out and show up on the screen how you had imagined it. Test any links within the context of your email, so that you know they work.
One great way to get people to read your direct e-mail marketing messages and newsletters is to include special offers available only to the recipients. This will make the email marketing more effective because it makes the readers feel like they're getting a good deal and they might get their friends involved. You may even want to offer a referral program that will allow you to expand your mailing list in a major way.
Staying in contact with your customers can be made easier using email promoting. Use this information for your own email promoting strategy so that you can see the positive results yourself. Advertising your business can be easy when you make use of the strength of email communications to reach out.

Hatch Repairs/Maintenace
Fri, 01/26/2018 - 13:54
I'm currently trying to restore my Notchback, and one of the main issues that I've noticed is the hatch it's self. Where the hatch latches from seems to have water leaking into it and the paint/coating on the bottom of the hatch is flaking off, and because it is rare, there isn't much on this kind or repair/maintenance out there. Any tips?
