The Eighth Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF8) Press Conference was held at Xi'an International Studies University, on September 21, 2015. Wang Gangyi, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of TAC and Council Member of FIT, Wang Junzhe, President of Xi'an International Studies University (XISU), and officials of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government attended the conference. A number of national and local media reporters attended the event.
During the conference, Wang Gangyi, on behalf of FIT and TAC, and President Wang Junzhe, on behalf of XISU, signed the Memorandum of Cooperation on Co-hosting the Eighth Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum.
Wang Gangyi started his speech with background information on the APTIF and in particular, on the coming forum. He pointed out that the theme has been established as "Behind the Scenes: Translation and Interpreting in Tomorrow's Asia-Pacific Region", which explores the present opportunities and challenges faced by translation, interpreting and other sections of the language service industry as well as its future development under the "Belt and Road" Initiative targeted at regional cooperation and development and the new technological environment represented by cloud computing and big data. He suggested that the city of Xi'an, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road and the venue for this Forum, serves as the perfect place for scholars in the international T&I fields to understand the history of China and the development of the Chinese T&I industry.
President Wang Junzhe extended his gratitude to FIT and TAC for entrusting XISU with the important task of organizing the forum and said that XISU would do everything to ensure the success of the Forum.
Both Wang Gangyi and Wang Junzhe answered questions from journalists concerning the Forum.
The Forum will soon launch its website (www. aptif8.org), available in both English and Chinese, to provide relevant information for its attendees. Wang Feng, vice president of XISU, demonstrated the main features of the website.
APTIF was originally named the "Asian Translators Forum". The first forum was organized by TAC under the auspices of FIT in 1995 in Beijing, China. Since then, the conference has been held every three years. From the second forum to the seventh forum, it was held respectively in Seoul, South Korea; Hong Kong, China; Beijing, China; Bogor, Indonesia; Macao, China and Penang, Malaysia. During the seventh forum in 2013, TAC and XISU together won the right to host the eighth forum.
The FIT Council Meeting in 2015 accepted the proposal initiated by TAC and decided to change the name of the forum to the "Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF)". As a result, the forum involves a wider region and enjoys improved status. The APTIF8 will take place on June 17-18, 2016, in Xi'an, China.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are these books produced?
Typically, I take a plain-text file from, say, the Project Gutenberg collection. I then use several locally-written Perl scripts to convert this file into HTML, and then split the HTML version into multiple pages, usually by chapter. Finally, a "front page" with table of contents is created linking them all together.
As much of this process as possible is automated. However, a certain amount of hand editing is always required to ensure good formatting of the result. This varies depending on the complexity of the work and the state of the original plain text version.
Sometimes, the original plain text file is already well-structured and conversion can take as little as fifteen minutes. Sometimes, the original lacks obvious structure and this has to be identified manually. Sometimes, the original contains "faults" which require some serious manual editing to put right. Removing end-of-line hyphenation is especially painful. In a worst case, preparation can take many hours.

Surviving the Great Flu Epidemic of 2018
You've heard this year's flu is at epidemic levels and chances are you've had it or several people you know have had it. Unfortunately, it's my turn. It started when my three-year-old got a high fever out of nowhere. I put him in my bed, pumped him full of chicken broth and ibuprofen, kept him close to mom, and he was well in two days. He had no other symptoms. Then last Thursday it hit me with a sudden high fever and bone-shaking chills.
Day 1: I have vague memories of my husband piling blankets on top of me while I moaned incoherently. At some point, he appeared with a hot sock and a hot water bottle that he tucked under my blankets next to my shaking body and the heavens opened up and angels began to sing me to sleep. Glory to God in the highest! He gave me this man! When I came out of that feverish hell, the gastroenteritis kicked in. I'll spare you the gory details.
Day 2: At noon on Friday my husband was on his way home from work with full-blown fever and chills. We were soon ensconced in bed together with our 12-year-old running the household. She let the three-year-old eat chips in his bed, but other than that, I think she's ready to go to college. She cooked, cleaned and took care of the children and animals for three solid days. While I was sweating and crying in a state of near hallucination, my daughter was proving me a good parent. An unintended side effect of the flu was finding out my child is a competent caregiver and a compassionate soul who will make some lucky man a very good wife one day.
Day 4: My entire school community canceled classes because the flu had knocked out all of our tutors and half our families. My husband went back to work. (How does he do it?)
Day 5: The next phase of the killer flu was the congestion, sore throat, and sinus pain that cannot be measured on the usual 1-10 scale. Searing, blinding pain radiating all over the head and ears. My throat felt like I had swallowed broken glass. It was so bad that I hightailed it to the urgent care for a strep test. I was informed that no, it's not strep. It's just the killer flu. They shot me in the backside with something and put me on steroids. The doctor informed me that the extreme pain in my head could be from the swelling pressing on a nerve. The remedy is sleep. (My husband came home, cooked a birthday dinner for his mother, brought me dinner in bed, and put all the kids to bed including stories. He's still sick and making me look like a total loser.)
Day 6: I'm losing hope that there is life after this flu. I am also losing all faith in cable TV. Being confined to my bed has led to much trash TV binging. My 600-lb Life makes me feel a bit better about my current struggles as does Hoarders. Comedy Central is now using the "f" word like it's normal and the Olympics has decided to go 100 percent SJW this year, based on the commercials #LoveOverBias. Wonderful.
This is the part in the article where I'm supposed to encourage everyone to get a flu shot but I'm not going to do that. There are many strains of the flu and the shot supposedly covers one. If you like those odds, go for it, you're an adult and have the right to make decisions for yourself. As for me, I'm just hoping to make it through tomorrow.

The UK government has finally set a date for the introduction of its new copyright protection law, making it illegal to manufacture or sell copies of mass-produced designs after 2020.
March 3rd, 2015
The law will come into force on 6 April 2020 and will give industrially manufactured items such as furniture, lighting and jewellery the same copyright protection as works of art, books and music.
Registered designs in the UK are only protected for 25 years, but the new law will give them protection until 70 years after the death of the designer.
"Great design forms an integral part of our lives whether it be architecture, jewellery or home furnishings," wrote UK intellectual property minister Lucy Neville-Rolfe in a document announcing the decision. "Both cutting-edge designs and those that have stood the test of time continue to be in high demand and we need to ensure designers have an appropriate incentive to create."
"But currently these artistic designs lose copyright protection after 25 years if they have been mass produced," she added. "This is unfair in comparison to other artistic works, like literature and music, which are protected for the life of the creator and 70 years."
The changes to the law are contained in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, which was passed on 25 April 2013 and brought IP protection in the UK into line with most other European countries.
However the government delayed implementing the law while it consulted with businesses that would be affected by it. Design brands including Vitra, Artek and Flos urged the government to implement the law as soon as possible while replica furniture retailers argued for a delay.
"Having listened carefully to the views of designers and businesses, the Government has made the decision to implement the change in law in April 2020," said Neville-Rolfe. "When this happens, we hope the change will bring rewards for British designers and encourage a new generation to innovate and grow."
The change to the law followed a wide debate on copyright for furniture designs, after the British prime minister's wife purchased a reproduction of the Castiglioni brothers' iconic Arco floor lamp in 2011.
This led to a campaign headed by Elle Decoration editor Michelle Ogundehin, who rallied licensed manufacturers and retailers including Vitra, Fritz Hansen, Skandium and Aram to challenge the intellectual property rights laws in the UK.
Writing in Dezeen recently, Vitra chairman Tony Ash argued that copyists are "eating away at the very creativity of our industry". Chris Diemer of replica furniture retailer Voga responded by saying that firms like his are making good design affordable for the masses.

Juventus transfer rumour: Thiago Silva may join the Italian champions on a free transfer next summer
Juventus have established themselves as one of the strongest clubs in Europe due to consistent performances on the field and impressive business off it. The Old Lady's business this summer has been lauded by many as the smartest piece of business done by the club as Juventus invested Paul Pogba's sale money brilliantly.
Rumours have emerged that the Italian club have already started their work on targets for next summer with Thiago Silva being heavily linked with the club.
Also read: Serie A 2016/17: Paulo Dybala reveals that Juventus rejected an offer for him in the summer
Silva is considered one of the best centre-backs in the world and has won all domestic honours with Paris Saint-Germain. He has experience of playing in the Serie A where he made his name after a stint with AC Milan.
What a coup!
According to Tuttosport, Juventus are expecting to land him on a free transfer when the Brazilian's contract expires at the end of the current season.
The problem for the Turin side is that the Brazilian will automatically trigger a one-year extension if PSG qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League, something which is all but done. The Parisians currently sit second in their group, level on points with Arsenal and a win against Basel next time around would guarantee their passage into the next round.
This clause may cause problems for any potential deal with Juventus, though, as the Italian champions are reported to be only interested in pursuing a move if there is no fee to pay.
Best defence in the world?
Juventus have one of the best defences in Europe currently with Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli forming a solid partnership at the back. New additions like Mehdi Benatia and Dani Alves have made Juventus stronger along with the experienced fullback, Patrick Evra and veteran goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon. If Juventus do get to sign Thiago Silva, the Old Lady will be a real force to be reckoned with.
Juventus are currently in pole position in the Serie A after they beat Udinese 2-1 on Sunday to increase their lead at the top to five points with Roma currently in second. Silva's PSG, on the other hand, trail a Mario Balotelli-inspired Nice by four points in Ligue 1.
Both clubs are unbeaten in the Champions League after PSG convincingly beat Basel 3-0 while Juventus had to rely on Buffon's goalkeeping heroics to just edge out Lyon 1-0.

Customer Reviews and Experiences
Roto-Rooter Sewer-Drain is proud of the relationships we maintain with our customers. Whether industrial, commercial, municipal or residential, every project receives our undivided attention and commitment to efficiency, effectiveness, service and quality. Below, we share our customer's detailed experiences and customer reviews:
Industrial, Commercial and Municipal
"We have a million square foot distribution center and we've been using Eric Sorg's group for all of our sewer and drain preventive maintenance and clean-outs for five years. For routine scheduling and emergencies, I make one call and I get immediate service and project completion within one day. "As an example, we had an outside sewer line backing up into our parking area. I called them and they came right out. We pulled out drawings and they worked within our safety permit system and diagnosed the problem. They found a filter underground that we didn't know was there, and they fixed the problem the same day. "They also have comprehensive services. Once, we had a blocked line in our sewer pit that was backing up. We thought it was a pump failure and called them. As it turned out, the pumps were working but a line was blocked, and we needed a backhoe. I didn't even know they did excavation, but they do, and had a backhoe on site in an hour, and the job done in a day." "I can get them any time with one phone call, which I think is unique for a company of their size and capability. And I can count on personal attention and expertise from the company owner whenever I need it, as well as from the Roto-Rooter team of professionals. I would recommend Eric Sorg and his team to any new client."Ron M.
"Our biggest challenge is in maintaining the hydronic lines underground. There steam is converted to hot water, which in turn provides heating for the high school and middle school. The most recent work we have done with Eric Sorg involved a lining job. The hydronic line that runs from the high school to the middle school failed, which caused us to lose our heat in the middle school. We called Roto-Rooter, and they diagnosed the first problem immediately. Concrete abutments had been undermined and caused the break in the pipe. They resolved that problem with an epoxy liner. But when we brought the system back up we were still losing water. In short, within 60-75 feet, the found two more breaks. They had to special-order the epoxy to line these pipes because they are water pipes, but they got the material the next day, when they fixed our problem. The system has worked wonderfully ever since. "At Salem Elementary School, we had an old 5" sewer line built in the 1950s that had so many bends in it, it kept blocking up. They recommended rerouting the line, and when they finished the job, our problems were resolved. "At Horn Elementary School, the original builders ran the downspouts on the roof inside the building at the corners into the basement and out to the main. One of them constantly flooded the basement. No one was ever able to figure out the problem. We dealt with it for years and years. We brought Roto-Rooter in and they used a video camera to look inside the pipe. They found the break, repaired it, and we never had another problem with it. "We have relied on Roto-Rooter for 6-7 years now. They do all of our routine sewer and drain work and they have reliably and quickly diagnosed and resolved our emergencies. They really can do anything, and they are very prompt. They don't waste any time getting the job done, and the entire crew is a pleasure to work with. They have all of the equipment, experience and expertise that I can think of to get any job done. Whenever anyone asks my opinion about a company with comprehensive sewer and drain services, I recommend Eric Sorg. And I've done that often."Paul U.
"We are the Pine Grove Joint Treatment Authority, a municipal sewer authority for the town of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. Our service area includes the Borough of Pine Grove, a portion of Pine Grove Township and a portion of Washington Township. Roto-Rooter is one of two companies we use to provide sewer lateral inspection services using closed-circuit television camera technology. For example, when a house is being sold, or there's a title transfer to a different owner, a sewer lateral inspection is required to be sure the sewer line is in good condition and there is no sign of broken pipes or I & I. This inspection is to verify the integrity of wastewater inflow and infiltration. "Roto-Rooter also has a Super-Vac truck, capable of jetting out our tanks. This is a project we perform on a yearly basis, through competitive contract proposals. When we learned about their jet-vac service, we contacted Eric for pricing. Roto-Rooter currently has that contract. The Vac-Truck not only cleans lines and tanks but can also pull out roots and other incursions in pipelines in a way that is quite useful to water and wastewater professionals. "As a public entity, it's our responsibility to keep sewer rates down, and so I am vigilant about managing our budget responsibly. Roto-Rooter offers very competitive pricing. Eric has always worked with me to achieve my budget and project goals. I like that. His people are all very polite, knowledgeable and professional; he hires very capable people with great attitudes. They are also very attentive and reliable. If they say they'll be there at 6am, they'll be there at 6am. "I would say Eric's major strength is the quality of his service and his reasonable pricing. You can't beat that. Some companies will overstate their qualifications and equipment when seeking a contract, knowing that further along they will have to add services and equipment to complete the job, and in the end cost considerably more. I look for good service, price and honesty. I feel that with Eric and his crew. I would recommend Roto-Rooter to others."Nick S.
"We have a comprehensive real estate firm operating from five offices in Central Pennsylvania, including commercial and residential sales and property management. We've been in business in the Susquehanna Valley for 40 years. "Eric Sorg is a very good friend of mine, and he became a good friend because of his business and real estate. Most recently at the Bloomsburg office, we had an emergency problem with our water line out to the street. I called Eric. He came immediately, got someone on it and they worked over weekend to get it completed. The pipe was old and completely corroded through. Normally they would reline the pipe with a sleeve and pull it through, with no need to excavate. But the pipe was so old they couldn't do that. It just crumbled. They did a great job replacing the pipe and even restored our sidewalk and re-landscaped the area around the sidewalk where they had dug! "We chose Eric because he's able to take care of that kind of problem and he's reliable and, I think, better than anybody else. He has very good people working for him and should really be proud of his organization. He's also just a very good businessman; when I call him he calls me back immediately. As for strengths, he can always be trusted to respond quickly and provide complete services with meticulous attention to detail – right down to the sidewalks and landscaping. I would absolutely recommend him to others."Nancy H.
"Mrs. T's is a family-owned company; we have been making Mrs. T's Pierogies since 1952. We sell in every state and internationally and we have an 83% market share. All of that happens right here. So we have a demanding production schedule. We had used Eric Sorg's Roto-Rooter services for years, mostly for maintaining our drainage systems and for routine work until last year when we developed a bigger problem that needed diagnosis. Roto-Rooter used video equipment to look inside two of our pipelines, and the film showed collapses in both. One collapse was under the three tubs where we cook pierogies and the other under two freezers. There was no way we could dig up those lines. It wasn't until then that I learned from Eric's team that they could reline pipes without the need to dig trenches. "I had never met Eric Sorg until he came personally to assess our problem. He reevaluated the videos and sat down with us to review what could be done. We chose to reline the pipes. They ended up digging to access each pipe and then literally relined each of them without any excavation or trenching. What you're doing in that process is making another pipe within a pipe with a liner. They even repaired another break they discovered during the major repairs. That one wasn't even planned, but they took care of it while they were here. They spent three days on each major pipe collapse and fixed the lines and everything else that needed work. Our pipelines are now working great. "I wouldn't use anybody else. I have no reason to. I definitely would recommend them to others for their knowledge, service, fair pricing and responsiveness."Frank K.
Residential Services
We returned home from vacation to discover that our lateral was backed up when we were running our washer. This was a bit of an emergency because we could not run any water in our house. Roto-Rooter We had Roto-Rooter pipe relining. Roto-Rooter is one of few companies in the region offering this service. In comparison to traditional trench dug replacement, CIPP saved us a lot of cost, reduced the time that we were not able to use our house and the length of time the contractors were working, and drastically reduced the amount of disturbance to our landscaping and property. "We live on a city lot in a 150 year old house that neighbors another very old house. The space between our house and our neighbors where the lateral ran is roughly 8 feet wide which would not allow bulldozer access, so the area would have to be mostly dug by hand. "All of the above aside, we live on a main street which is also a state route. The main city sewer line is on the opposite side of the street. The lateral in question needing repair or replacement ran approximately 15-20 feet out into the road. Since the road is a state route, any closure would need to be done through PENNDOT. The permits and cost for this total anywhere from $7,000-$10,000 a day, which does not include the actual work to dig up the road. CIPP allowed us to only dig up a small section of our sidewalk without disturbing the traffic and going through the headache of digging up the road. "Sorg solved our problem, stuck to the quoted price and did a good job all around. We are happy with the work they performed and should we ever need this type of service again we would be a repeat customer."Residential Customer
"Our sewer backed up, so Roto-Rooter dug to the lid of the sewer tank and pumped it out. The top was deteriorating so they also built a new lid and raised it up so that they can now work on it from the surface is we have any other problems. They did an excellent job for us. We got along with them fine."Residential Customer

Senior Housing and Home Care
Posted: March 27, 2013
A tough situation: Older adults need home care help that matches their financial resources and Home Care employees need a liveable wage and healthcare benefits.
An indisputable fact: Choosing to live at JCHE enables both residents and Home Care providers to purchase and provide services with far greater efficiency than the alternative of living in a standalone house.
Home Care Rules in the Home Stretch
Over a year ago, President Obama announced that new Labor Department rules would guarantee home care workers minimum-wage and overtime-pay protections. The move would undo a nearly 40-year-old rule that defines home care workers as "companions," a label that exempts employers from having to pay them the minimum wage and time and a half for overtime.
The proposed rules, however, are still not final. The rule-making process was long delayed, in part by the administration's apparent reluctance to advance rules during the election year, perhaps for fear of being seen as anti-business. Last month, the Labor Department finally sent its rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget — the last step in the review process before they are approved.
This has led to new lobbying by opponents, including for-profit home care agencies that say having to meet federal pay standards would hurt their businesses. In the past, the state of California has also opposed the rules, saying they would harm its health care budget.
Those objections have been aired before, and either rebutted or accommodated. But the budget office is a political agency, not a regulator. There is a real danger that in this late round the long fight to extend basic labor protections to home care workers could be lost.
That would be a great injustice. The $84 billion home care industry supplies workers, not companions, who provide bodily care and housekeeping to the elderly and disabled. The companionship exemption amounts to an institutionalized form of sexism, racism and exploitation, given that most home care workers are women, often African-American or Hispanic, and immigrants. California, or any other state, cannot expect to balance its budget on the backs of exploited labor.
If the promise of minimum-wage and overtime protections for home care workers is ever to be fulfilled, Mr. Obama himself will have to push the new rules over the finish line.

Poor little sparrow, fallen from the nest.
Poor little sparrow, lonely for the rest.
Jesus hears you calling.
The Master sees you there.
Gently now he touches you,
loves away your care.
He watches, little sparrow; his mercy knows no end.
You can never fall so far your cries won't reach to him.
Blind and broken,
tired and sore,
friendless, empty,
naked, poor.
Come to Jesus, find his rest.
Poor little sparrow, Jesus is your nest!

9:30-10am, schmoozing

11 - 11:30 extended break for your nattering pleasure
11:30 - 11:45 Housekeeping, new members, announcments, etc.

12:15-12:30ish John Maxwell web viewer data scraping
12:30 -1pm Tips & Tricks by Dave Knight, Bob Shockey, Christopher Gauntt and Dina Torok.
1pm, run in circles, scream and shout.
1. Deryk True: Acrobat document distribution:
Data Gathering for FileMaker - Sometimes the most challenging part of data management is gathering the data. Deryk will present a case study of collecting large amounts of data from 650 locations, replacing an older paper-to-manual-input system. The tool was the latest version of Acrobat, using a new feature to distribute forms and then collect the responses in a low-cost and IT-independent manner.
2. Ralf Mandt-Rauch: Applescript, web, iCal integration
There has been a dearth of ecommerce solutions available to the Mac community. Ralf will present a brief overview of his company's new program, called eShox. It contains an online store called eShox Store which utilizes PHP and MySQL and an eShox Manager built in FileMaker Pro. He'll be concentrating on the seamless integration with the Mac OS and demonstrating how data is interchanged between the eShox Manager and Address Book using Applescript.
3. John Maxwell: web viewer data scraping
John will be demonstrating the process of scraping html code from web viewers, parsing the data, and populating fields with the data.
4. Tips and Tricks
Dave Knight, Bob Shockey, Christopher Gauntt and Dina Torok will show various tips on subtle, cool, value-list tricks: Set Field by Name allowing the removal of a big chunk of code from layouts; a trick to allow changing the background color of any object just by hovering the mouse pointer over it;
a cool custom function used to turn script parameters into local variables in a subscript.
Thanks to Ralf Mandt-Rauch for providing food for the meeting.

I'm participating this year in Amy's Newbery Through the Decades challenge. March was the 1940's with lots of good books to choose from, many that we've already read as a family or that I read as a kid (My Father's Dragon, Seabird, Misty of Chincoteague, The Hundred Dresses, These Happy Golden Years, Rufus M., The Middle Moffat, Little Town on the Prairie, and The Long Winter).
I was tempted at first to re-read The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes. I'm not sure why but it was a favorite of mine as a girl. I remember it being very sad but that I liked to read it over and over, and kind of wallow in the sadness. I may still re-read it. I'm curious if I'll experience it the same way as an adult. However, for the challenge I wanted to read something new so I chose Lois Lenski's Strawberry Girl. I had previously known Lenski mainly from her illustrations of Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy books and I was curious to read something authored by her as well.
Strawberry Girl is one in a series of books Lenski wrote about children in different regional areas of the US. It takes place in backwoods Florida in the early 1900s. Birdie Boyer's family are newcomers to the area and almost immediately are off on the wrong foot with their neighbor's the Slaters. The Slaters see the Boyers as being "uppity" and having all kinds of strange ideas like feeding their livestock (instead of letting them run wild through the pine woods). Lenski does a great job of portraying life realistically for these pioneer families. The Boyers are slightly better off than the Slaters but are still obviously very poor. Unusually for children's literature, the feud between the neighbors is ugly and long. There is also a lot that is familiar to anyone who has read Caddie Woodlawn or the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. (Did every pioneer school have an episode where two big boys try and beat up the young teacher?)
Overall, I liked the book. I think it would be a difficult read-aloud because of the backwoods dialect that the characters use. It also might be a difficult book for younger kids to read for the same reason. But it gives an overall realistic picture of life in one area of the country around the early 1900s. I did find the ending to be a bit forced. (Spoiler: There is a religious conversion of one character.) The feud is a little too neatly and quickly resolved to ring true. That one false note stands out only because the rest of the book seems so believable.
For more Newbery reviews from the 1940s, stop by Hope is the Word. And why not join in? May is the 1950s….there are sure to be lots of great books to choose from.

Peter Quillin improved his career record to 32-0-1 after a knockout of Michael Zerafa so brutal his opponent had to be stretchered out of the ring.
It was Zerafa's first time being knocked out in his career, and only his second overall loss. Quillin is a former WBO world middleweight belt-holder, and called out current WBA champ Daniel Jacobs for a December title fight in Brooklyn. He might not want to do that.
The fight doctor later told NBC that Zerafa was responsive upon being carried out of the ring.

A woman in her fifties is at home, unclothed, happily jumping on her bed and squealing with delight.
Her husband watches her for a while and asks, 'Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look? What's the matter with you?'
The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says, 'I don't care what you think. I just came from having a mammogram, and the doctor says that not only am I healthy, but I have the breasts of an 18 year-old.
The husband replies, 'What did he say about your 55-year old ass?'

Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NIV)
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of one's house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

Actors do a lot to stay in character during the shooting of a film and the latest to join the passion club is Shradha Kapoor playig Haseena Parkar. To make certain she did not lose focus Shradha made certain to speak to everyone on the sets in the voice of Haseena. One day, director Apoorva Lakhia had a friend drop by on the sets and introduced him to Shraddha and to his surprise, Shradha intimidated him by speaking to him in her character voice which scared both the men. It was only after the friend had left the sets that Shradha burst into giggles much to Apoorva's relief.
Cutting jokes of this kind seem to be in the genes of the Kolhapure family, in hey days aunt Padmini Kolhapure would have the entire unit in splits but once the camera began to roll, nothing to distract Pandi from her scene. Hope it is the same with Shraddha Kapoor.

Words of Support and Encouragement Week of April 26, 2010
While you are trying to conceive, it is important to be your own best friend and advocate. You may find yourself walking into challenging situations in the next few weeks (Mother's Day), and so it is very important to listen to your mind and body. While it is not healthy to avoid public situations, you should anticipate and respond to your emotions while in challenging moments.
We have many different support opportunities available to you during the month of May, you can check our CNY Healing Arts and CNY Fertility Calendars for more information.
CNY Healing Arts
CNY Fertility
Also, be sure to look for the Holiday Support Guide article, to be posted this week.
Finally, I am attaching the 'Soothing List' activity as a refresher. This can act as a wonderful guide for walking yourself through challenging situations.
Please let me know if I can offer you any support on your journey!
Soothing List
"Infants who are distressed need soothing. They can't regulate themselves and need help calming down. As adults recovering from trauma, when our nervous system is activated, we become flooded in a chemical wash of stress hormones and feel just as irritated as a baby. We need soothing, too.
What each of us finds soothing is, of course, a matter of personal preference – which textures, sounds, kinds of touch, foods, kinesthetic experiences, and so on. It's important to know what is soothing for you. We can refine our understanding of this by really listening to our body. When does the body relax? When does it go Ahhh?" (Cori, 160)
The following exercise will help you identify ways to self-soothe.
- Name a texture you find comforting.
- What is something you like to wear that feels comforting?
- Name a couple of comfort foods.
- What music or sounds do you find soothing? (Or do you prefer the absence of surrounding sound?)
- Name an object that is comforting (yes, blankies count).
- Name an animal and a way of being with that animal that is comforting to you.
- Name a place you can go when you need soothing.
- Name a person you find soothing. Now another person. Now get more specific. How do you prefer contact with either of these people? With what intention?
- What activities (e.g., walking, swimming, hot tub, being held) are soothing to you?
- Name a vacation setting that would be an immersion experience in self-soothing.
(The above exercise adapted from Healing from Trauma by Jasmin Cori, MS, LPC)

Jan 23, 2018: On Saturday 19 May, Meghan Markle will walk down the aisle at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, in front of her nearest and dearest, to say 'I do' to her fiancé, Prince Harry.
In the lead up to the wedding, the newly-engaged couple will no doubt be whittling down their wedding guestlist, ensuring that their best friends (including Priyanka Chopra and Serena Williams for Markle) make the cut, as well as royal dignitaries, politicians and relatives from further afield.
However, unfortunately for the pair, one of Prince Harry's best friends is unlikely to receive a 'save the date' card in the post, as a result of his connection to President Donald Trump.
The Daily Mail reports the 32-year-old royal won't asking the former Democrate US President to his upcoming nuptials following speculation an invite would be a 'diplomatic timebomb' if Obama was invited and Trump wasn't.
'President Trump will not be invited because the wedding will be for friends and family only,' a source told the publication.
'It won't be a state occasion. If Mr Obama was invited, the invitation could look like a snub to Mr Trump, and His Royal Highness would not wish to cause a diplomatic row,' the sourced added, months after Barak and his wife Michelle congratulated Harry and Meghan on their engagement.
An invitation for Obama would undoubtedly have ruffled some feathers with the Republican President who recently cancelled a scheduled visit to London next month to open the new £750 million US embassy.
The president claimed on Twitter that the reason for calling off the trip was his displeasure at Barack Obama having sold the current embassy for 'peanuts'
'Bad deal,' he wrote.
In actual fact, the embassy's plan to move from Mayfair to Nine Elms in London was first reported in October 2008, when George W Bush was still president, but you know, we have a feeling Trump isn't too keen on dealing with facts these days.
Fortunately for Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, she wasn't due to meet Trump until a full state visit at a later date.
When Harry was a guest editor of Radio 4's Today show last month, he was asked if he would be inviting Obama, who agreed to be interviewed for the programme.
'I don't know about that,' he replied.

The quickest little things often take so much time. For instance at the moment I am posting this are an seemingly endless number of things I rather ought to be doing instead - alas - these are the tepid fruits of my sorely constrained time.
This podcast itself has in fact haunted my drive for nearly 3 weeks and is only now being released into the wild - not for a lack of quality but a lack of time.
However given the matter of music or edification I have to say that the time I have spent on the latter is well worth it as things are proceeding exceedingly well. For the case of the record I now have definitive evidence that a certain lab materials company is selling Barfoed's Reagent that is in a sad state of reacting. Their Benedict's Reagent is quite fine though.

CCA is pleased to present Pomerleau with the 2017 CCA Excellence in Innovation Award for creating a strong, innovative culture.
The company recently became the first general contracting construction company in Canada to be certified with Level-1 building information modelling (BIM) proficiency in Canada, companywide. Pomerleau has internally developed BIM add-ons that are used to improve interoperability, to accelerate data extraction, and to generate useful information for various construction processes.
For example, Pomerleau developed a plug-in in Revit allowing for a semi-automatic excavation surface generation based on the 3D model of the foundations and the conditions (or rules) for Place Bell, a multipurpose sport and cultural centre in Laval. Another example of innovation includes developing a technology to transfer a design model into a video game software that enables virtual reality, a technology that is excellent for design comprehension, saves considerable costs from late design changes, and allows for a "virtual reception" of the project long before its completion.

Dutch Design: Winner of the MOOOI Awards 2012 presented in Milan
Bartjan Pot with 'Starway to Heaven'
The other Dutch finalists for the FRAME MOOOI award 2012 were: 'What's in your locker'. Design by Anne Blussé of Lab 3. Netherlands | 'Education trestles and easels'. Educational table system by Studio Makkink & Bey made for Museum Boijmans. Netherlands. | 'Caelum'. LED table lamps by Pablo Martinez Diez from Spain. | 'Kroon'. Shandelier for an office and apartment building, by ZMIK Switzerland | 'A Wall of Sneakers', display system for a sneaker shop from Facet Studio Australia | 'Mist of arch'. Furniture for public toilet in a department store, by Keiko + Manabu Japan | 'Ray'. Integrated ceiling light for an office, by SHL design Denmark | 'Sketch'. Display for a fashion shop, by Ypsilon Tasarım, Yesim Bakırküre Turkey | 'Ecanter light'. Pendant light for a bar, by Lee Broom UK |
MOOOI is the commercial brand of designer Marcel Wanders. MOOOI is next to Droog the next best known Dutch design brand. That's is because MOOOI is able to bind designers, but it also knows how to work with commercial exploitation. The designs must have something special, but they also need to mass-produce. MOOOI is not only sells Dutch design, foreign designers are also welcome.
The products have usually something playful. At first glance, a classical design, but if you look further than at the first glance it is still very modern. Often slightly larger than we used to en more so, with enlarged details, although of course, not all design is can been seen as one. And because there are presenting many different designers, there is a lot of different furniture design to choose from. Besides selling design they also do interior projects like the Hilton in The Hague, completely decorated with furniture and lighting from there own collections of designers. So is there besides Wanders, Raimond Puts, Kiki van Eijk, Maarten Baas, Edward van Vliet, Bertjan Pot, Nika Zupanc, Blasius Osko, Jurgen Bey & Oliver Deichman to name some of the designers.

What I Like to Read vs. What I Like to Publish
When I read on my own time, I tend to gravitate toward history, science fiction, fantasy and New Testament studies. Sometimes I'll throw in some literary fiction or theology or management/leadership books. Sometimes I'll read a bestseller just to see what the buzz is all about. And I always listen closely to the recommendations of friends and colleagues which can lead me into any number of genres. And if you want to see where my reading interests have taken me at any time, just check out the list on the right hand column of this page.
What do I like to publish? Thoughtful Christian books for serious readers, small group and Bible study materials, and academic books in Christian theology, biblical studies, philosophy, psychology, history and a few other disciplines.
There is some overlap between these two groups. But there are large areas that do not intersect. When selecting books for publication, it is imperative for me to keep these two lists clearly distinct. As I've written here before, publishing decisions should not be influenced by personal reading tastes or interests.
The question for me is not "What do I like?" but "What are we as a publisher good at?" Not "What am I interested in?" but "What can we succeed at?" If we happen to publish what I like, wonderful. But my personal taste in reading should have almost no bearing on what books we publish.

Tree-mendous times at Stowe
Area Ranger Ian Goode gives an insight into the wonderful variety of trees we look after at Stowe, and how we care for them.
Tree safety
Before I explain the way we manage the trees at Stowe it is worth noting the importance of tree safety. If we are concerned about the safety of a tree we will sometimes take the decision to remove deadwood, fell a tree, or remove the ivy. This decision will be taken by our Head Gardener, Barry, our Assistant Head Gardeners Paul and Patrick, or myself, Ian, Area Ranger, who have attended specific four day training courses in managing tree risk. If you are concerned about tree safety, please consult a professional before doing anything, as you could risk damaging the tree or making more unsafe.
Designing a landscape
Trees are an important feature in any garden, but are especially important in landscape gardens. The great garden designers used both existing trees in the landscape and planted new trees to create atmosphere, frame views, create avenues, and to plot the contour of the landscape.
Why has the tree got ivy on it?
Sometimes it's easy to see ivy growing on trees and pull out your pruning saw ready to cut it off - but hang on! It might have been allowed to grow for a reason.
Ancient and veteran trees
What is the difference between an ancient and veteran tree? An ancient tree has passed its mature phase of growth in comparison with other trees of the same species. So an ancient hawthorn would be a different age to an ancient oak.
This oak has begun a process called crown retrenchment. Oak trees produce strong wood resulting in the dead wood being retained in the tree. This can sometimes be referred to as 'stag-horning'. In certain areas of the parkland where visitor use is very low we leave the deadwood in the trees as it provides habitat for invertebrates.
Some trees at Stowe need further protection from compaction around the base, so we might choose to exclude people from under the tree for their own safety by enclosing it in cleft oak fencing.
I hope this has given you an insight into some of the work we do to care for our trees at Stowe. We often have gardeners working during our opening hours, so do stop us for a chat if you have any questions.

After a tease at E3 2017, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is finally coming to Xbox One later this December.
From the Paris Game Show, Xbox and Playerunknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) teamed up for a special broadcast that provided a console development update and a December 12, 2017 release date. In addition to the Game Preview release date on Xbox One, PUBG creator Brendan Greene detailed what players can expect from the game when it debuts on console.

Greene also noted that the Game Preview version of the game will have HDR at launch, and the team will release a full 4K update for Xbox One X later once the team finish its 4K textures.
Greene says the PC and Xbox builds are different at the moment, but developer Bluehole aims to have parity between the platforms once the game reaches its 1.0 launch. In the coming months, Bluehole will launch a new desert map for PUBG on PC. The map will come Xbox One Game Preview, but not until they have all the bugs sorted out on PC.
Lastly, the team announced the game would be the same price as PC during its time in Game Preview, coming in at $29.99.

Let's create our own table and call it friends. The psql query
to create the table is shown in figure .
Let's look at it from the top down. The words CREATE TABLE have special meaning to the database server. They indicate that the next request from the user is to create a table. You will find most SQL requests can be quickly identified by the first few words. The rest of the request has a specific format that is understood by the database server. While capitalization and spacing is optional, the format for a query must be followed, or the database server will issue an error such as parser: parse error at or near "pencil", meaning the database got confused near the word pencil. In such a case, the manual page for the command should be consulted and the query reissued in the proper format. A copy of the POSTGRESQL manual pages appear in appendix .
The CREATE TABLE command follows a specific format. First, the two words CREATE TABLE, then an open parenthesis, then a list of column names and their types, followed by a close parenthesis. The important part of this query is between the parentheses. You will notice there are five lines there. The first line, firstname CHAR(15), represents the first column of the table to create. The word firstname is the name of the first column, and the text CHAR(15) tells the column type. The first column of every row holds up to 15 characters. That's what CHAR(15) means. The second column is called lastname and holds up to 20 characters. Columns of type char hold characters with a specified limit to their length. Columns city and state are similar. The final column, age, is different. It is not a CHAR() column. It is an INTEGER column. It holds whole numbers, not characters. Even if there were 5,000 friends in the table, you can be certain that there are no names appearing in the age column, only whole numbers. It is this structure that helps databases be fast and reliable.
Create some tables yourself now. Only use letters for your table and column names. Don't use any numbers, punctuation, or spaces at this time.
You can use the \d command to see the tables you created. If you type \d and press Enter, you will see the names of all the tables in the current database. To see information about a specific table, type \d followed by the name of the table. To see the column names and types of your new friends table in psql, type \d friends. As you create tables, view your new tables with \d.

Stockport's History
The earliest evidence for human occupation in the wider area are microliths from the hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period (the Middle Stone Age, about 8000-3500 BC) and weapons and stone tools from the Neolithic period (the New Stone Age, 3500-2000 BC). Early Bronze Age (2000-1200 BC) remains include stone hammers, flint knives, palstaves (bronze axe heads), and funerary urns; all finds have been chance discoveries, rather than a systematic search of a known site. There is a gap in the age of finds between about 1200 BC and the start of the Roman period in about 70 AD. This may indicate depopulation, possibly due to a poorer climate.
Despite a strong local tradition, there is little evidence of a Roman military station at Stockport. It is assumed that roads from Cheadle to Ardotalia (Melandra) and Manchester to Buxton crossed close to the town centre. The preferred site is at a ford over the Mersey, known to be paved in the 18th century, but it has never been proved that this or any roads in the area are Roman. Hegginbotham reported (in 1892) the discovery of Roman mosaics at Castle Hill (around Stockport market) in the late 18th century, during the construction of a mill, but noted it was "founded on tradition only"; substantial stonework has never been dated by modern methods. However, Roman coins and pottery were probably found there during the 18th century. A cache of coins dating from 375-378 AD may have come from the banks of the Mersey at Daw Bank; these were possibly buried for safekeeping at the side of a road.
Six coins from the reigns of the Anglo-Saxon English Kings Edmund (reigned 939-946) and Eadred (reigned 946-955) were found during ploughing at Reddish Green in 1789. There are contrasting views about the significance of this; Arrowsmith takes this as evidence for the existence of a settlement at that time, but Morris states the find could be "an isolated incident". The small cache is the only Anglo-Saxon find in the area. However, the etymology Stoc-port suggests inhabitation during this period
Local Information for Stockport
Stockport is a large town in Greater Manchester. It lies on elevated ground 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Manchester city centre, at the point where the rivers Goyt and Tame merge to create the River Mersey. Stockport is the largest settlement in the metropolitan borough of the same name. As of the 2001 Census the town had a population of 136,082 and the wider borough 284,528.
Historically, most of the town was in Cheshire, but the area to the north of the Mersey was in Lancashire. Stockport in the 16th century was a small town entirely on the south bank of the Mersey, and known for the cultivation of hemp and rope manufacture. In the 18th century the town had one of the first mechanised silk factories in the British Isles. However, Stockport's predominant industries of the 19th century were the cotton and allied industries. Stockport was also at the centre of the country's hatting industry, which by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year; the last hat works in Stockport closed in 1997.
Dominating the western approaches to the town is the Stockport Viaduct. Built in 1840, the viaduct's 27 brick arches carry the mainline railways from Manchester to Birmingham and London over the River Mersey. This structure featured as the background in many paintings by L. S. Lowry.
Stockport County F.C are the local football team and Stockport Rugby RUFC the local rugby team.

What to spot in the garden in February
As late winter eases into early spring, the passing of another season is marked by the appearance of buds, blossom and bloom.
Although the snowdrop display hasn't been prolific this year – the ground has been waterlogged and the soil has become compacted – there're still patches of the delicate emblem of spring dotted all around the garden.
Bright pink cyclamen can be seen around the edges of the main lawn and in winter walk. Spot their bright splashes of colour dotted all around the garden.
Sunny yellow daffodils are starting to bloom with the biggest display currently by Holly Corner. In a few weeks time we should have good displays of the flower throughout the garden.
Head down to the heather garden to enjoy the pinks and whites of the heather and far reaching views across the Weald and out to the South Downs.
Purple and white crocuses are starting to bloom both by the Curly Steps and along Lime Avenue. Bright and bold in the spring sunshine they do a great job attracting bees.

Railways again. This time I'm interested in improving the use of space in carriages and the process of moving people about.
Passengers currently have to jostle to board through one of many side doors (after wondering where exactly those doors will end up). Instead, today's invention is a train in which only the front and rear coaches open their doors when it halts (with door locations marked on the platform).
This allows people to leave, two by two, via one and enter via the other. The space around all the other (closed) doors would be filled with (~8*3) extra seats for the poor paying passengers to actually sit down on.
I'm sure the (parallel) boarding/ unboarding time would not be increased, since everyone would know which direction to move in, causing minimal turbulence.
In an emergency, even the closed doors would be flung open and people could climb out over the seats.
(The extra seats could be relocatable, in case a carriage was required to be used in front or rear position. Bicycles? Rent them at the station).

Listen Now: Career Advice
Sheryl Sandberg is one of the most successful women on the planet. And she says nine words helped get her there.
Some of the name's on Sandberg's resume include the world bank, the US Treasury Department and Google. Today she is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. And according to Inc.com, she credits a lot of that success to advice given her by Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet.
When Sandberg was offered the job as Google's general manager she seriously considered turning it down until Schmidt said to her "stop being an idiot, all that matters is growth." She says in that moment she realized that while technology itself is an industry that is constantly changing and growing the new job meant that she would grow new skills, new connections and a new perspective.
Sandberg says that same advice can apply to anyone. Take the opportunity to learn new skills, learn a new job at your current place of employment or just meet a new person.
Who you know is important, but it also depends on what you know.

He looks fiendish and startled,
Having finished eating the head
And about to start
On the left arm
Of his son,
Caught in the act
By Goya,
But most parents
Get away with it,
Devouring the good faith
Of their children
Until there is nothing left,
But facsimiles
Who reproduce
And eat their own kids
In turn,
But are caught in the act
By those too selfish
Or too wise
To spawn.
Michael La Bombarda has had work published in Five Plus Five and the Low-Tech Manual (both Low-Tech Press, NYC), Appearances magazine, Public Illumination Magazine and New Leaves Review. He has forthcoming work in The Unbearables Big Book of Sex (Autonomedia/Unbearable Books).
