5th November 2013
General Dynamics Bath Iron Works have successfully launched the US Navy's first Zumwalt-class destroyer at their Bath, Maine shipyard. The vessel makes extensive use of composite materials to save weight and reduce maintenance costs.
The ship began its translation from Bath Iron Works' land-level construction facility to a floating dry dock on Friday. Once loaded into the dry dock, the dock was flooded and the ship was removed from its specially designed cradle. By late Monday, the dock had been flooded and the ship was floated off and tied to a pier on the Kennebec River.
"This is the largest ship Bath Iron Works has ever constructed and the Navy's largest destroyer. The launch was unprecedented in both its size and complexity," said Capt. Jim Downey, the Zumwalt-class program manager for the Navy's Program Executive Office, Ships. "Due to meticulous planning and execution, the operation went very smoothly. I'm extremely pleased with the results and applaud the combined efforts of the Navy-industry team."
Construction began on DDG 1000 in February 2009, and the Navy and its industry partners have worked to mature the ship's design and ready their industrial facilities to build this advanced surface combatant. Zumwalt is currently more than 87 percent complete, and the shipbuilder will continue remaining construction work on the hull prior to planned delivery late next year.
Because of the complexity of the first-of-class ship, the Navy will perform a two-phase delivery process. Bath Iron Works will deliver the ship itself to the Navy in late 2014. Upon delivery, the Navy will then conduct combat systems activation, tests and trials, to include multiple underway periods. The ship is expected to reach its initial operating capability in 2016.
In October this year, Ingalls Shipbuilding delivered the composite deckhouse for the DDG 1000. The 900-ton deckhouse provides an advanced structure to house the ship's bridge, radars, antennas and intake/exhaust systems and is designed to provide a significantly smaller radar cross-section than any other ship in today's fleet.
"This is a significant delivery in the history of Ingalls Shipbuilding," said DDG 1000 Program Manager Steve Sloan. "Building composite ship structures takes a very unique skill-set and work ethic, and the men and women in Gulfport have done an outstanding job. This is one of the largest carbon composite structures ever built, and we are delivering a fine product with the utmost quality."
Ingalls is building the composite deckhouse and hangar for the DDG 1000 class at the company's Composite Center of Excellence in Gulfport. Made almost exclusively using cored composite construction processes, the deckhouse and hangar take full advantage of the properties of carbon fiber materials and balsa wood cores. When cured, the composite structure is as strong as steel but requires little maintenance and is very lightweight. These unique attributes reduce maintenance cost over the life span of the ship due to its corrosion resistance in the marine environment and allow for improved hull stability, more payload and increased ship speeds.

The Transfiguration
Today is the Feast of the Transfiguartion, which has always carried a special significance for me since I did my master's thesis on the painting above. It is Giovanni Bellini's Transfiguration of Christ in the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, one of 3 paintings Bellini is known to have made of this subject, and one of the 2 that survive intact.
An aspect of this picture that has always fascinated me (and has not been written about to my knowledge) is the Jewish content of this picture. Both Moses and Elijah cover their heads in Christ's presence after Jewish custom. Moses appears to be wearing a talith complete with an embroidered atara. Both are holding scrolls with inscriptions in Hebrew. I am not Hebrew literate, nor have I been able to find legible reproductions of that detail (I have not seen the original painting either) in order to determine if the Hebrew is real, or if Bellini (like a lot of artists at the time) faked his way through an alien language. If it is real, then what does it say? To whom was it intended to speak?
In my thesis from a quarter century ago, I argued that the work was a private commission reflecting the tastes and thoughts of a particular patron, though unknown. I've changed my mind since then. Usually Jewish content in a Renaissance picture is antisemitic; the triumph of the Church over the Synagogue, etc. That does not seem to be the case here. I now think that this might have been an altarpiece made for a congregation of Jewish converts. The Transfiguration would be a perfect subject for just such a group.
Bellini died in 1516, the year the Jews were officially segregated into a ghetto in Venice. This painting was made at least 10 years before that date. Venice always had a very large and important Jewish community with a couple of major Jewish publishing firms. Even after the creation of the Ghetto, Venice's Jewish population remained very large and important, and enjoyed a measure of protection from the Venetian Republic that counted for a lot in the days of Reformation and Counter-Reformation. There were indeed serious efforts by the Republic to evangelize its Jews after the institution of the Ghetto which are well known. There must have been similar, though less ambitious, efforts to do the same in Bellini's lifetime. Is it possible that this was made for a small congregation of just such converts?

Moses is not wearing a tallit. If Bellini knew enough about tallisim to know about the atara, then he would also know that it was worn over the shoulder and over the other garments, not tucked under them to seem like a hood. (Unless the Venetian community had a distinctive custom on the matter which I am not aware of.) Also, he would have probably shown some of the ritual fringes which are the essential part of the tallit.
As a Jew, nothing beyond the Hebrew script strikes me as being Jewish oriented. (And if you hadn't commented on the fact that the writing was in Hebrew, I would not have realized it was Hebrew. The writing is completely illegible on my screen.) Bellini presumably had enough contacts to get whatever he wanted written out for him to copy in detail, and didn't need to fake the Hebrew. (Was this the Bellini who went to Istanbul and painted the Sultan's portrait? Or was that another member of the family?) My guess is that they will turn out to be Biblical verses with particular reference to Moses and Elijah on the one hand, and Jesus as the prophecied Messiah on the other hand.
Several Italian cities had special "Houses of Conversion" which were set up to evangelize Jews and help any who did convert with food, clothing and housing for a year or more after conversion (given that a convert would usually be cut off from his family and the Jewish community because of his conversion), and I am fairly sure Venice had one. That would be the closest thing to an actual congregation of Jewish converts. However, the number of converts was usually not very large, and there are known cases of Jewish con artists who would arrive in a city, pretend interest and eventually go through the formalities of conversion, take as much of the free food, clothing, and housing as they could get before moving on to another city and repeat the process--we know about them because the Inquisition caught up with at least some of them, Even the legitimate converts were usually from the poorer sections of the Jewish community, so it's doubtful that they would have been able to commission a painting. Also, the number of converts was fairly low in most years. (Father Pietro writing to his superiors in Rome: I am pleased to say that this year our efforts met with extraordinary success. We have been able to lead an unusual number of Jews to the light of the gospel in the last twelve months--no less than four, and a fifth one may well finally renounce his error sometime next month!) Perhaps the clergy who ran the conversion centers, or (variation on your original idea) a wealthy Jewish convert.

Thank you Kishnevi, that was very informative.
The Bellini who went off to Constantinople to work for Sultan Mehmet II was Giovanni Bellini's older brother, Gentile.
You are probably right about the small size and poverty of a congregation of Jewish converts. Bellini's work did not come cheap, and if this was indeed painted for such a congregation, it would have to be paid for by a benevolent patron, and a very rich one.
I like your idea that this painting could have been made for a wealthy Jewish convert, or for a group of clergy tasked with converting Jews.
Again, you are right about the talith, but that garment that Moses wears is striking. Also, I can't think of any other pictures of the Transfiguration where the prophets cover their heads like this.
A for the Hebrew inscription, maybe that would clear some things up, and maybe not. It is a small detail in the painting, and I'm usually suspicious of interpretations that stand or fall on very small obscure details. If the detail is small and obscure, that's usually a sign that it wasn't that significant to artist or patron.
Still, those pieces of paper are there in each prophet's hand, and to my eye, look like they were meant to be read. It would be very disappointing if the inscriptions were illegible in the original (these things sometimes fade or wear off over time).

The Black Tower is an album by Warloghe that was self-released in 1996. This album is black metal.
This is a really nice album. The guitars are really nice in this, high-pitched and awesome melodies. There's some bass too that shines really nice through the higher frequency guitars. I really like the melodies in this album. The vocal style in this album is interesting, no shrieks and stuff like that. But instead slow weird vocals that sound very strained.
Listen to this awesome album here

Plastic Pellet FootbagsPellet filled footbags are a must have in your collection, they are effortless and extremely fun to kick in a circle with friends. Bomb Footbags has an amazing NEW Perfect Pellet filler. It is smaller shreds of plastic that are slightly heavier than the classic pellet bead. This results in a hacky sack that is around 60-70% full, soft, 50-55 grams in weight and easier to control. These hacky sacks are great for working on your control and are an awesome compliment to other fillers. In general, the footbags with higher panels hold their shape more consistently for a perfectly straight flight path every kick, but some of the lower paneled footbags are more versatile, since they collapse more easily on your foot and are the easier pellet filled footbags to stall. However, if you really want something that you can freestyle and do tricks with, head over to the Sand Hacky Sacks or Metal Hacky Sacks pages.

The West Virginia Northern Railroad was formed on July 5th, 1899, from the former narrow gauge Tunnelton, Kingwood and Fairchance Railroad Co. The TK&P had been incorporated in 1892 and had built eleven miles of railroad between Tunnelton and Kingwood ,West Virginia, to tap the enormous amount of coal deposits found in the area. By World War II, the West Virginia Northern had 19 active mines along its route which would usually generate a 50 car coal train per day while being capable of producing as many as 200+ cars a day. The Northern would interchange these hoppers with the B&O Railroad at its small yard in Tunnelton, with the B&O in turn switching Tunnelton on an almost daily basis from M&K Junction to the east. Power for the WVN was provided by several steam consolidations until the railroad bought three diesel switchers in the 1950s, #50, #51 and #52. As a result of the Northern's early dieselization, B&O mechanics would often seek the railroads help in solving problems when the B&O finally bought its first diesels several years later. For the following four decades a West Virginia Northern coal switcher could usually be seen working the mines between Kingwood and Tunnelton or the interchange yard at Tunnelton. However, the coal market was in a major decline by the late 1980s resulting in many of the mines served by the railroad to cease operations or begin moving coal by truck. As a result of this lack of traffic, the West Virginia Northern ceased operations in March of 1991.

RTN023 - Dirty Inputs - Many Earths
Dirty Inputs is Aaron Dawson, a musician and VJ based in Toronto, Canada. Dawson was part of the Toronto ambient drone collective Off The International Radar who have shared the stage with the likes of Holy Fuck, A Place To Bury Strangers, Junior Boys, Quintron and Nadja among many others.
Having grown up in the Rocky Mountain foothills of Western Canada and then moving to the continent's fourth largest metropolis, Dirty Inputs' euphoric synth-driven soundscapes search for a balance between the beautiful and the terrifying. The deeply complicated relationship between nature and technology. This focus has created a body of work that is at times dark and brooding and at others joyful and emotional. There is an ever-present attempt to strip back the veneer of hype and rhetoric in society to reveal the plain truths and humble existence of humankind staring into the void.
Dirty Inputs' sound has amassed many flavours from a broad palette of inspiration - spanning anywhere between 70's synth epics, new wave, shoegaze, hip-hop and postrock. Many Earths, Aaron's latest solo-construction, triangulates towards gorgeous DIY electronics and Solid Star makes for the perfect opener with bubbly arpeggios gradually piecing together a tapestry of analog beauty. Stolen Names maneuvers intricately and at a distance before bursting into Cyan Mode which floats into a wall of washed out, unruly echoes. Mechanical Moan ventures into the deep and the metallic with industrial fuzzes and oxidised thumps coated in atmospheric howls, a storm before the calm of closing track Try For France - an epic which tells the tale between the harmony of nature and technology grandiosely as cultivated synthesizers bring on a meditative state, a state of human being.

It's been a while since we were getting constant Suicide Squad news when it was shooting on the streets of Toronto over the summer; it feels like all that hype started to dry up after that trailer was released at San Diego Comic Con in July. But as we're getting closer to the end of the year, the studios will be wanting to jump start the hype for next year's slate of huge movies, and that includes the Squad, who are getting a close-up in the latest issue of Empire. We've already seen one cover featuring Jared Leto's Joker, but now we're getting another as well as cover shots of three other of the film's, er, heroes…
First the officially released covers (courtesy of Geek Tyrant) that feature a new image of Leto's Joker, as well as Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, who looks like she got the full Walking Dead treatment for the part.
So now that you won't go to sleep tonight, let's look at the two unofficial covers. Film Hype (and ComicBook.com) shared via Twitter the leaked image of Will Smith's Deadshot, and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. The photo of Harley features her now ubiquitous bat, while Smith wears Deadshot's eye piece but goes without the white mask. Is that how we'll see Deadshot in most of the film? Who knows, but check out the covers below.
Deadshot and Harley Quinn Empire covers has been leaked! 👀👌 pic.twitter.com/hG11vSKe3G

It's funny to see fan reaction to this David Ayer film go from utter pessimism to something resembling staid excitement. Will Ayer manage to justify that fan investment of hype into this hopeful franchise? Find out when Suicide Squad hits theaters everywhere August 6, 2016.

The Regal La Machine food processor by Moulinex can save countless hours of slicing, shredding, blending and chopping. This food processor has been available since the early 1980s. Although there are a few different models, they all have similar design and features. By changing the style of blade used in the food processor, you can cut food into a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Step 1
Ensure the power plug of the food processor is detached from the wall outlet.
Step 2
Press the lock release button on the side of the food processor and turn the lid counterclockwise to lift it off. Set the lid aside.
Step 3
Select the blade you will be using based on the needs of the dish you are preparing. Some models have two-sided blade discs that you can flip to slice or shred at different thicknesses.
Step 4
Lower the selected blade into the mixing bowl so that it rests securely on the center peg. Make sure the side of the blade you want to use is facing up.
Step 5
Replace the lid and twist it clockwise until you hear a snap. Try twisting the lid counterclockwise to ensure it is locked into place.
Step 6
Lift the plastic pusher out of the feed tube at the top of the lid and slide in the food item. Food pieces that are too wide for the feed tube may need to be roughly cut.
Step 7
Plug in the food processor and press the power button to begin spinning the blade. Use even pressure to force the food down the feed tube and through the blade.
Step 8
Unplug the food processor and depress the lock release button to twist off the lid. Carefully lift out the blade and set it aside so you can remove the food items.

Well a few days ago I received the nicest Happy Mail from her! Thank you Ang, I love it all.
Ang not only sent me this darling mini and card but also a take out box to put it in and then proceeded to ink up the mailing box as well. It was a super mail day! Ang used Prima for the papers and embellishments and crafted the mini from 3 paper sacks, such a cute cute idea!
The card held this little bottle and once uncorked you could just get whiffs of nutmeg and spices filling the air.
In addition, I also received a package of the Celebrate It sacks to make a mini myself! What fun, thank you so much Ang. I can't wait until we get together for coffee and chat! As luck would have it Ang lives in Washington State, not far from my family and another online crafter, so the dates been made, when I go home to visit time's set aside for a get together amongst new friends!
Check out my video reveal if you'd like to see the card, mini and boxes more closely!

Monday Maths: Vicki Robinson, Communications Officer
#MondayMaths and secret surveillance
Posted: 16/01/17
In our weekly #MondayMaths puzzle, we're asking you to detect the effectiveness of Lisa's security cameras in her rather peculiar-shaped underground facility. Who knows what she's hiding down there?
Do now!
This puzzle could be tackled with secondary students while learning about mapping projections, but it would also be a great Do Now task at the beginning of a Year 5 or 6 lesson, when they look at angles this term.
With the help of a ruler or a protractor, ask your class to experiment with where the cameras could be positioned and which part of the shape would be covered.
Encourage them to try lots of different options and discuss these ideas with a partner. This type of puzzle develops pupils' reasoning skills and confidence with how to approach a holistic problem. If anyone's stuck with where to start, prompt them with a few questions…
- Are the cameras best fitted against the wall?
- Would they be more effective in the corners?
- Where can you place the camera to get maximum field of vision – and why?
Depth is the key
It's really important to help students deepen and consolidate their understanding of mathematical concepts, and so here are a few handy ideas for adding depth to this task.
- How many cameras would you need if each one only had a 90° field of vision?
- There can't be any parts of the shape covered by 2 or more cameras – is this possible?
- Design an underground space which needs 3 cameras to monitor the entire area
You can discover the answer this Thursday on Twitter – happy solving!

Arthur Miller 's drama The Crucible and George Orwell 's satirical novel Nineteen Eighty Four ( 1949 ) dig into the ambivalent nature of belonging, portraying it as a construct affected by internal and external factors. The belonging experience is unstable and dependent on circumstance as persons may see a sense of individuality despite being alienated from the wider community. In add-on, external factors such as establishments and governments may implement conformance from persons to aline with the ruling beliefs and values.
Both texts show that an person can hold a coincident sense of personal belonging and social disaffection therefore supplying a deeper apprehension into the complexness of this construct and experience. In The Crucible, Proctor is characterised as strongly opinionated and a carrier of moral strength. His controversial action in retreating his confession despite cognition of capital penalty draws sympathy from the audience for his brave attempts in defying comformity shown in his perennial exclaimings ; 'Because it is my name! Because I can non hold another in my life! ' This emphasises Proctor 's inexorable tone and the symbolic value of honor which he places on his name, leting him to continue his individuality and intent in his battle against inhibitory authorization. His moral determination to be an honorable adult male allows him to belong to his ain values and this is reflected by his 3rd individual observation about himself 'For now I think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor ' . Yet it is this independent behavior which causes his disaffection, shown by Danforth 's menace ; 'you will turn out your psyche 's whiteness or you can non populate in a Christian state ' . The high mode linguistic communication of ' can non ' farther reinforces how belonging can be indefinitely limited if one were to dispute the constitutions of society.

Correspondingly in 1984, Winston 's disaffection amidst a oppressive society is conveyed in the metaphor 'he felt as though he were rolling in the woods of the sea underside. This dystopian novel follows the totalitarian government of the Party, where citizens are controlled by 'Big Brother ' , a powerful societal front man. As a consequence of this banishment, Winston attempts to set up his individualism by defying the Party, like Proctor 's rebellion of declining to subscribe his name. Winston 's sexual relationship with Julia is an act of calculated self-exclusion and 'a blow struck against the party. It was a political act ' . Orwell 's specifc enunciation 'political ' efficaciously overturns the personal nature of their sexual brotherhood in portraying it as a strategical rebellion.
Mona Lisa Smile follows the supporter Catherine Watson, a free believing art professor who condemns the stiff social boundaries and therefore instructors 1950s Wellesley misss to dispute their traditional functions. Watson 's individualism is established in the gap voiceover 'She did n't come to Wellesley to suit in ; she came to do a difference ' . Her personal belonging to her ain values supersedes her demand to conform to society and therefore when she resigns ; there is abundant natural lighting on the stopping point up shooting of her face, proposing self enlightenment and assurance.
Therefore both texts explore that an person 's divergence from the wider community can supply them with personal belonging.
Widening on the thought of personal belonging, both texts show that this experience is transeunt and is susceptible to alter which leads to the via media of one 's individuality. In The Crucible, Hale experiences an inexorable disintegration of religion towards the tribunal upon gaining the false veracity of the accusals and Salem 's corruptness. He remarks that ab initio he 'came into this small town like a bridegroom to his beloved ' with the simileof the bridegroom here symbolic of his old connexion to Salem. His high mode articulation 'I may close my scruples to it no more-private retribution is working through this testimony! ' reflects his rage and finding to recommend for what he believes is morally right. However this is contrasted to his eventual succumbing to society 's commands shown in his dejected tone 'aˆ¦cleave to no religion when religion brings blood ' as he urgently urges the accused to squeal. Yet the audience comes to admit that this does non let him to belong once more as he becomes more guilt ridden about his lip service in carrying good Christians to lie. Similarly in 1984, Orwell delves into the unstable nature of belonging and how obstructions can impede one 's individuality. This is epitomised by the coop of rats in room 101 in the novel 's denouement. It is such confrontation that tilts Winston 's mental stableness and causes his blinded conformance with society 's oppressive ways. The anaphora in 'he confessed to the assasination of Party membersaˆ¦he confessed that he had been a spyaˆ¦he confessedaˆ¦ ' illustrates Winston 's complete conformity to the point where he is deluded into doing false confessions. As a consequence, Winston forgos interpersonal belonging in his treachery of Julia, by deviating the incrimination in his emphatic supplications ; 'Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! ' This reveals the loss of one 's scruples and trueness when the experience of belonging beomes hard. By the terminal of the novel, Winston 's blinded conformance is shown in 'he had won the triumph over himself. He loved Big Brother'.The sarcasm in Winston 's credence by society at the cost of his individualism and humanity warns readers that belonging can be manipulated at the cost of one 's individuality.
Apart from internal influences such as personal finding, composers depict that belonging can be influenced by external factors such as establishments and inhibitory governments. Mary Warren 's autumn in the tribunal from finding to continue the truth, to siding with the bulk and impeaching Proctor of lying is representative of the compressing effects of society 's oppresion. The audience realise that her conformance is derived from fright of requital as shown in her repeat to Proctor in ; 'I can non, they 'll turn on meaˆ¦I can non, I can non! " Her extremely emphatic linguistic communication reinforces how the imperative to belong has basically clouded Mary 's moral judgement and this highlights the influential impact of curtailing governments. This thought is farther underlined by Danforth, a representation of the theocracy, who makes it clear that 'a individual is either with the tribunal or he must be counted against it, there is no route between ' . The metaphor of the route and the ultimatum in this statement symbolizes the deficiency of picks for one 's conformance with society. Likewise in 1984, O'Brien inside informations the dystopic image of a hereafter under the interior party in the confronting metaphor 'a boot stomping on a human face-for of all time ' . The elan causes the reader to hesitate and visualize this barbarous image, fixing them for the dramatic impact of the two simple words-'for of all time ' . O'Brien 's duologue to Winston besides reflects implemented belonging, through the apposition of 'obey ' and 'love ' : 'It is non plenty to obey him: you must love him ' . The repeat and high mode linguistic communication here reflects the imperative to belong both in private and publically which further emphasizes the extent of the subjugation. By commanding linguistic communication, the Oceania society seeks to command idea and enforce belonging to society. The mottos 'War is Peace ' , 'Freedom is Slavery ' and 'Ignorance is Strength ' are contradictions to the reader, oxymorons, yet to Oceanians they are beliefs of religion and implemented belonging is greatly enhanced by the credence of these mottos.
'Mona Lisa Smile ' , follows the supporter Catherine Watson, a latitudinarian art professor who condemns the stiff social boundaries and therefore teaches 50 's Wellesley misss to oppugn their traditional social functions.
Watson 's individualism is apparent in the gap voiceover ; ' ( she ) did n't come to Wellesley to suit in, she came to do a difference ' . Her finding to remain true to her individuality even in face of losing her learning station reinforces her strong sense of personal belonging and therefore similar to Proctor, Watson is besides characterised with moral strength. Her assurance in her values and beliefs is clearly brooding in the last scene as she resigns from Wellesley college as bright natural lighting on the stopping point up of her face suggests self enlightenment.
Initially Watson 's pupil, Elizabeth Warren is depicted as ego righteous and conservative who strongly advocates for the imposts of Wellesley. This is reflected by her costuming of typical traditional 1950 's dress manner of high waisted skirts in add-on to her tightly pinned coil. However her belonging to these values bit by bit slices as she learns of her hubby 's criminal conversation and under the influence of her broad instructor Catherine Watson, she tells her female parent ; 'I filed for divorce this morningaˆ¦I am traveling to jurisprudence school ' . Her confident tone reflects her assuarance and assurance in her determination, and this brave act signifies a alteration in her initial sense of belonging. However in contrast to 'The Crucible ' and '1984 ' , Warren does non compromise her individuality, alternatively she rediscovers her independency and desire for rational chases.
Wellesley College is a conservative adult females 's college with a esteemed repute for academic excellence yet it is a stiff environment where success is measured by domestic achievements. This is established to the audience when one of the instructors provinces ; 'a adult female 's success is dependent on how good you marry'.The unequivocal linguistic communication employed emphasises the inflexibleness of the values and the fixed outlooks for Wellesley adult females. In add-on, the myocardial infarction en scene of the school edifice is really stiff and therefore jarring lines are depicted as opposed to round lines so to reenforce the contricting boundaries set by this community.

A common misconception is that tree maintenance cannot be done during the winter months, or that tree care companies do not operate during this time of the year.
This has led to a surge of work for commercial tree care companies in the warmer months, and consequently, sometimes longer waits for homeowners trying to get their tree work completed.
While winter weather might make tree maintenance more difficult, there are tree care procedures that can be done during the winter months that will benefit the trees in the subsequent growing season.
"The leafless dormancy period of winter allows the trained arborist to more easily identify [dead or hazardous limbs]," explains Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP and staff arborist for the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). "Also, if the ground is frozen, then pruning activities will have a less damaging effect on the functional root zone of a tree."
"The trees growth (including wound closure) slows significantly and does not begin again until the following spring," adds Michael Joseph, CTSP, ISA Certified Arborist, and co-owner of Joseph Tree Service in Dublin, OH. "Research has shown that optimum would closure is achieved by pruning during the late winter and early spring, right before the flush growth of spring."
Andersen and Joseph agree that winter tree work can help minimize potential problems stemming from pruning at the wrong time, such as destructive insects and fungal infections attacking at the spot of the wound left by pruning. Pruning during winter months allows for the healing to begin before the warmer months bring on these complications, giving the tree a much better chance of making an uninhibited recovery.
While winter tree work may appeal to the consumer trying to get ahead on their spring cleanup from the tough winter months, trees should be assessed on a case-by-case basis by a trained arborist. Improper timing of your tree's pruning can lead to further complications, which can cause the tree to become a hazard to nearby residents rather than a beautiful piece of the landscape.

The advances in technology have forever changed the ways that people communicate. Writing A Blog is just one example of these social connectors, and this article will tell you how to create a blog which reaches great success.
A common mistake on sites is to overload viewers with Adsense ads, plug-ins and keywords. Going overboard with any of these things may cause search engines to penalize your blog's ranking, or de-list your blog altogether. Write naturally, and make sure that your blog posts are easy to read.
It is important that your blog uses search engine optimization. Your ultimate goal includes people reading your blog, so have it visible in search engine results. Get the most readers by using the most important keywords as part of your title and all through each article on your website.
Be sincere and authentic in your blog. Don't appear like a "know-it-all." Remain an open book. Keep this in mind at all times. Your blog is a reflection of yourself. Whilst nobody is perfect, you should always strive to do your best. There will be times when you are incorrect. Your blog is about expressing yourself, and you are a unique, valuable individual.
Never ever allow yourself to copy anything. You will absolutely ruin your reputation if you steal anything from anyone else, including your design elements, copy or graphics. While even an amateur writer can find success in running a blog, showing your passion through unique content is the only way to reach your goals.
Make sure your posts are brief yet to the point. Don't omit important details, but don't make a blog post so long it will bore your readers to death. No one expects verbose, Shakespearian depth discourse when it comes to blog writing. Your readers will want useful information without the garnishment.
Try being authentic. Don't pretend to know everything. Be honest, be transparent, and be available to your readers. Never forget this. A blog is seen as the ultimate expression of one's individuality. Instead of trying to come across as a perfectionist, do all you can to remain humble. It is not the end of the world if you make a mistake, and post something that is incorrect. You are a unique person and that is part of your individuality.
Add interest to your posts with images. Pictures can show a lot more than words can say sometimes. This is definitely true for blogging. Words without images don't communicate nearly as much as pictures do. As a result, it makes sense to incorporate pictures wherever possible.
Ask already established bloggers if they would like to write guest posts on your blog. This is a great way to increase the quality of your own blog and generate excellent content. If they let their readers know that they're writing something for you, you should also see an influx of traffic. Work with others to make your blog more content rich than ever.
Don't shy away from using lists within blog posts. Whether you're blogging about romance novels; the ingredients required to make a recipe; or how to repair a refrigerator; a list is very important. By incorporating lists into your blog, you allow readers to quickly find relevant information.
Avoid infrequent blog posts if you want to keep your readers interested and invite repeat visitors. Great blogs generally default to posting at least once a day at minimum. While this may seem like a lot of work, consider sitting down before you post your blog to the Internet and writing many posts with timeless content. Then you have posts later that can fill in if you run out of ideas.
Give your readers every possible way to follow and share your blog. Social media networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are very helpful the success of your business. Always remember how important social media sites are, and use them to reach out to current readers and draw in new ones.
Successful writing a blog starts with passion for your theme. Writing about subjects that mean something to you will make your content appear more sincere. You'll have stronger connections to the readers, and your running a blog will be more successful.
When creating a blog, don't just write long, drawn-out paragraphs of useless information. You must also research and find the right theme for your blog. You won't succeed if you are simply writing on the wrong topics. Keep in mind at all times that the way to be successful is through content.
A successful blogger understands that blogging is a complex activity. Approach your blog as a business and always aim to improve it. Learn new tricks from experienced bloggers, and change your blog to reflect the new techniques you have learned. Keep your momentum by continuously learning writing a blog methods and improving your style.
It's key for blog integrity that you are on a regular schedule. Your readers have plenty of blog-reading options, and they may as well take advantage of a different one if you post inconsistently. While taking time out during the holidays will be understood, lack of regular posting at all other times will not likely be forgiven easily.
Use the power of social media to build readership for your blog. Not sharing your blog on social networking sites significantly reduces the accessibility and reach of your blog. Syndicating your blog posts on sites like Twitter and Facebook is critical to creating a great blog with lots of readers.
If you post lengthier pieces, you should break them up through the use of subheadings. That way, your readers will find your postings to be more accessible and easier to consume. This is an easy step you can take to take your blogging to a whole new level.
Establish a way for your readers to contact you directly. This lets your readers share valid questions, concerns and insights. There is no way of knowing who will read your blog, and if you let readers contact you, you may obtain some helpful feedback.
Whenever and wherever possible, you should try to make bullet lists and italic text segments which include the keywords that go with your niche. Search engines pick up on this and will start to rank your site higher. This tip alone can be powerful.
Attempt to divide longer blogs into definite chunks of information. If the post is too long, a reader may feel intimidated. If your lengthy blog posts are broken up into smaller segments, they will appear much more readable.
Use bold and italic formatting on the keywords you use in your blog. This makes them easier to read, and search engines may rank sites with such keywords more highly than they would otherwise. A keyword that stands out will attract more clicks, which is just what you need.
It is important to make certain that the links you include on your blog bring your readers to an operative, designated spot. This allows your readers to easily navigate your blog, keeping them happy. Your readers will flee if they can't get around your blog through obvious navigation methods!
Remember that maintaining a blog is an incredibly social business. You should strive to be accessible to, and interactive with, your target audience. Talk to other bloggers who share information on a similar topic, or experts in your niche. You will never be successful if you just sit back and wait. Take an active role in your blog's success!
Stay on top of what your competition is up to and then ensure you're always the leader of the pack. It can only help to know what the blog posting competition is up to. Other bloggers will also look at your blog to observe what you are doing.
Add posts often and at, or about, the same time. People will anticipate your posts if they know they're coming on specific days. Most readers enjoy this kind of structure and especially like knowing when new content will be available. To keep your content from sounding overly repetitive, try writing about a variety of topics that fit into your blog's niche.
Restrict yourself to a single, focused topic for each of your blogs. If you spread out your blog's topics too much, they will become cluttered. This is a simple tip that will quickly make your blogs easier to read.
Use a theme that won't make it hard to optimize for the search engines. This is not only good for your search engine placement, but your site's loading time, as well. In this age where speed is king, your readers will not want to wait around while your graphics and plug-in laden blog loads. It will be no time before they head back to the search engine to find blogs that are more user-friendly.
News Stories
Don't neglect proofreading! If your blog posts contain numerous spelling and grammatical errors, you'll look foolish. While this is the worst that can happen, it's vital that you proofread your content to catch any mistakes that the spell-checker might have missed.
As you work to create fresh content, look at current news stories for relevant information. Search for news stories that complement your blog's niche. For example, if your blog is about dogs, you may wish to post news about dog shows or the results from dog competitions. Your readers are likely to find this kind of information interesting.
Spice up your blog's content with statistics, charts, and opportunities for your audience to vote on issues in your niche. This makes your blog more interesting than straight expository text and makes your blog accessible to different kinds of people. This type of content is easy to produce, yet it can greatly improve your site's overall presence.
Put up new topics often and do it on a schedule. Posting to a predetermined schedule with help to keep you motivated and will help to keep your blog's readers engaged. Readers appreciate predictability when it comes to the timing of posts. They also appreciate new and interesting content. Whatever your interests are, make sure you have a myriad of topics to discuss so your content does not become repetitive.
Make sure that any important information on your page is placed in an area that is easy to view on any computer screen. This method will make your site easier for viewers to navigate.
Don't use a theme template that doesn't promote SEO. This will not only assist your blog in the search engine rankings, but it will also ensure your site runs efficiently and quickly. Everything is even more fast-paced in today's world, waiting around for graphics and plug-ins to load will not be something your readers want to do. They'll leave your site and visit another blog.
Users want to know what your blog is about at a glance. A list of your highest quality posts will help them see what your focus is. This can help users identify whether your content is valuable to them and can enhance your overall search engine rankings.
Steer clear of packing your blog with keywords. The right keyword is a vital part in getting people to read your blog, but quality should be the focus, not quantity. You won't fool a search engine spider by using keyword stuffing techniques, because the search engines are becoming smarter everyday with innovative technology. If your blog is full of too many keywords, it sends a flag to search engines that your site's priority is not quality. This will drop your ranking. Pick specific and unique keywords. This will drive more traffic.
Backlinks are an important component in blog format. They will improve your position in search engine returns and increase overall site traffic. When major search engines classify your blog as a quality resource, you will secure better rankings. The more other websites and blogs link to your site, the more authoritative it will seem. This is known as back linking. It is important to have a variety of backlinks from different websites rather than just the one.
Everyone in the world can see your blog; just be aware of that. By getting your opinion out there, you have no idea of who you could have influence on. It's important to understand this as you write your blog posts. A single sentence can influence someone halfway around the world. Blog Posting is revolutionary in that a large part of the world's population can see and read it.
Every piece of content on your blog should be engaging and relevant. Having "filler" entries won't help at all. Your readers will have a fine sense for the difference between useful and pointless content; too much of the latter will drive them away from your blog.

I think it was yesterday that I blogged about writing every day and how blogging was the best way to be sure you met that goal? Was it yesterday? I have been sick for several days. I finally got in to see the doctor. He said I have three different types of infection and should take these very strong antibiotics and stay in bed 2 days.
That's where I'm headed. Back to bed. I did just write a poem and thought about posting it here, but I'm fairly jealous of my poems and don't want the words or even the ideas stolen.
I did write a poem I've almost posted here before that was published in 2 am Magazine. It was titled Slumberlost. The rights reverted back to me after publication. I've tried to re-sell it, but the magazines I've approached don't want it, if it's a reprint. Even if it was published in the 1980's? 1990's?
Maybe one day I'll publish a book of my poems. I've thought about it a lot. Or maybe my kids will find all these poems I've written and post them post-humously (is that the word? did I mention I'm sick? Today instead of googling that word to be sure it's spelled right and means what I intend, I am going to go back to bed.
Chances are no one, but me will see it anyway. Like many of my poems.

It was a rough day for several consumer companies, even ahead of the last weeks of the year's busiest shopping season. "Fast Money" traders shared top stock picks for the holiday shopping season.
Camera-maker GoPro ended the trading session down almost 10 percent after being downgraded by major banks Citi and Morgan Stanley in the past few days. Retailer Macy's also ended the day down slightly, dipping more than 1 percent.

For Spain
There is no country that escapes the problem of drug abuse and addiction. In every country, there must be rehab programs to help these people find their ways back to health and sobriety. What is important is that these rehab programs result in lasting sobriety, or those completing them are just headed for more heartbreak.
In Spain, more than 53,000 citizens entered into treatment for addiction in 2010. Nearly 27,000 were new clients, meaning that around half of those entering treatment had relapsed after completing their earlier programs. Fortunately, with an effective drug rehab, this number of repeat treatment seekers can be greatly reduced and people with addiction problems can truly find lasting recovery.
However, finding an effective drug rehab in Spain is not always an easy matter. Some will go through a rehab program but find they are unable to stay sober and clean afterwards. Many end up relapsing and feel more and more hopeless about finding lasting recovery. Luckily there is a drug rehab center in Spain that has a high rate of success at achieving lasting sobriety - Narconon.
Narconon Provides the Full Array of Treatment for Addiction
In 2011, the drugs most prevalent in Spain were marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines. However, the use of multiple drugs at one time is a common pattern with addicts. The use of illicit drugs in any form and in any combination is even more dangerous than the use of a single drug.
When the person is addicted, the desire to continue to use the drug or drugs is intense. It basically turns a life into a shambles. Both the physical and mental dependency must be addressed. This is exactly what the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program does.
Spainish addicts can go to any one of the three Narconon centers in the country. These are Narconon Mediterraneo in Sevilla, Asociacion Narconon Los Molinos in Madrid and Narconon Tenerife Rehab Center in the Canary Islands. Each center offers the unique recovery treatment provided in Narconon centers around the world. No matter what drug the person is addicted to - opiates, cocaine, club drugs, alcohol or others - an addict will find help that gives him an excellent chance at lasting sobriety.
A Unique Detoxification Program
After the initial drug withdrawal, Narconon provides the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program during which toxins are flushed from the body. Drug residues build up in fatty cells and remain long after someone stops using drugs. These toxic residues can be involved in drug cravings returning, even years after stopping the use of drugs. To get these residual drugs out of the system, a combination of nutrition, nutritional supplements, moderate daily exercise and time in a sauna is used. This program effectively cleanses the body and clears the mind.
This is not the end of the rehab treatment. After the detox is complete, the recovering addict goes on to learn life and coping skills so vital in living a sober life. With a series of six courses, the student finds out a lot about himself, his strengths and weaknesses. He discovers how to restore the relationships that were harmed through his drug use. He learns how to make correct decisions. He gains back his self-respect.
Helping to Proof an Addict against Relapse
With effective tools for recovery provided and a clean body and mind, the Narconon graduate gains competence in returning home and building a new, drug-free life. Many say that now they feel that nothing can stop them in achieving the dreams that they had given up on. Narconon is the successful drug rehab program which should be the first choice for lasting recovery from addiction.

Our mission is to help leaders in multiple sectors develop a deeper understanding of the global economy.
Our flagship business publication has been defining and informing the senior-management agenda since 1964.
Our learning programs help organizations accelerate growth by unlocking their people's potential.
I wanted to better understand the problems facing different industries, and how technology could solve them—McKinsey offered me this opportunity.
I wanted to better understand the problems facing different industries, and how technology could solve them—McKinsey offered me this opportunity.
Before joining McKinsey, I was a PhD student at ETH in Zurich, working to improve the performance of highly distributed embedded computing systems. This was an amazing experience, but it was somewhat removed—I didn't know what actual problems we were helping to solve, or how our solutions could be of practical use for the companies experiencing them, as well as their customers.
I enjoy being able to help executives from various industries use IT and new technologies to become more effective, create a better customer experience, and a more stimulating environment for their employees.
We work in small teams, and team members have diverse backgrounds and expertise, allowing us to tackle difficult challenges and find solutions that aren't immediately obvious. On one recent project, my team consisted of experts in telecommunications, accounting, and IT and multiple client-side employees such as product managers and enterprise architects, solving the problem of how to digitize customer–client interactions. None of us would have been able to find the solution alone, but by examining the different aspects of the problem, the internal and external views we formed—as well as our different skill sets—allowed us to sketch a solution that we believe will make the client a leader in the digital market.
Working in cross-functional teams puts you on a very fast learning curve. On top of that, you get a comprehensive onboarding program and regular training sessions tailored to your role, and you can attend international conferences and practice meetings. For instance, since I started at McKinsey without an in-depth business background, I was sent to various trainings for basic consulting skills and business topics. All of these are international, so you meet colleagues from all over the globe and can create a worldwide network of colleagues and friends.
Nowadays, I am part of the Digital McKinsey team, which helps clients shape their digital strategy and translate it to the real world. This allows me to apply my passion for new technologies to all kinds of industries. We typically address questions about the implications of the Internet of Things on the advanced-technology sector, digitizing customer interactions in banking, how the newest wireless technology affects the telecommunication industry, and how big data and advanced analytics might change the retailer market.
What strikes me about all of these topics is their implications for the customer—and that you can add a significant contribution by simplifying and improving the lives of many people. I feel technology is accelerating changes in the way we are living, and I want to use it to help create a better customer experience.

"Micheal: One KEY skill for an exploratory tester is to find out what the requirements REALLY are. What ARE the ways of finding out? In general, what are the sources of information on a project?"
I started with the question. What do you mean by requirement?
"Micheal: A requirement is /what someone important wants/ as a part of the completed product.
Notice that /what someone wants/ is not necessarily written down. A requirement is not a piece of paper, or something written on one. The paper and the writing are /representations/, literally re-presentations, of /ideas/."
The above idea has really opened my eyes. How often we rely on written documents only treating them as the one and only one oracle. It's hard even for technical people to articulate what they really want. Now imagine that you need to describe a thing that you haven't seen before. It's hard to put everything on paper and easy to miss something that may become important on the end. It's good to keep in my mind that what we read in formal document is the re-presentation of client idea only. And now question, how often have you aimed with your tests to cover the specification only (assuming that your test mission is for something more than specification coverage) ?
I started answering to challenge with following ideas: people, stakeholders, previous bugs, written specification, developers know-how, service desk and their database of incidents, regulations (eg. FDA), previous versions/products, meetings with clients/stakeholders
Michael cataloged my ideas into:
/References/-> things that we can point to. The reference allows you to say, "It says here..." or "It looks like this..." (previous bug reports, specifications, regulations, previous version of the products)
/Conference/ -> Information obtained by /conference/ - interaction with other people. (people, stakeholders, programmers' know-how, meetings with clients)
/Experience/ -> The program provides with information via /experience/, the actual empirical interaction with the product.
/Inference/->. When you reason about information that you have, extend ideas, weigh competing ideas and figure out what they mean or what they might suggest, that's information from /inference/.
Micheal summed up the challenge with following:
"Michael: When we think about exploring, we think about identifying and developing the information we have. That's a key part of the *learning* mission of exploratory testing."
The coaching session was great. This session was exacting and bring a fun at the same time. Thanks to this session I realized that I need to improve identifying and developing information that I already have. Going beyond what is written in formal document should give me broader perspective and help in creating better tests in the future.

Kitchen counters can be found in all shapes and colors, and they are made of numerous materials. When choosing a material for you counter, there are lots of things for you to think about. Kitchen counters are installed to last for many years and even decades, so you need to make one final choice, on which large part of your home life will rely.
Granite and quartz countertops are but the most craved-for. First, their charming natural appearance is a shot through the heart for beauty-loving householders. Second, both granite and quartz counters are strong and heat-resistant and therefore they seem to last for all time. Third, they do not require complex maintenance.
Simultaneously, there are one or two significant differences between the two.
Quartz counters a made from built stone sheets, which consist about 90 p.c of quartz crystals and about 10 % of a resin binder. Quartz counters come in a broad range of solid colors and, unlike granite countertops, boast consistency and uniformity. It is far easier to pick up a quartz counter to match your interior than a granite one, since there is a small amount of colors for granite counters and they aren't as uniform as are quartz counters. Seams are less observable in quartz worktops.
Designed quartz isn't porous and therefore more stain-resistant. Granite is a porous stone and thus more certain to stain permanently without due care. It is much easier to get rid of food and liquids from quartz surface than from granite. Quartz counters don't need any cruel cleaners. Granite countertops don't either. A very little bit of soapy water and a sponge will get the job done. You should be a bit more careful choosing a cleaner for a granite worktop, because assertive and abrasive cleaning agents may damage the sealant and expose the surface to stains. To keep granite clean and stain-free, it has to be sealed at least twice a year. Quartz countertops don't need sealing.
Granite is far less springy than designed quartz. If you drop a heavy object on a granite counter, it is more certain to crack than a quartz counter.
Granite countertops Williamsburg VA are more heat sensitive. If you fail to use a trivet or a cutting board, traces of your work may remain for keeps. Although quartz counters require the same careful perspective, they are still more refurbishable and sure to retain their beauty.
Installing a granite countertop is a challenge. Please, do not try to fix it on your own and call a professional. Because granite is a heavy stone, granite counters need a specific support structure. Though quartz counters are easier and less expensive to fix, it is recommended that you use qualified help.
Learn the most important difference between granite worktop and quartz counters, and how it can make your kitchen pretty

Thanks to everyone that stopped by my blog today! Here's an outfit from my trip to Canada last summer. I'm mostly recovered from my wisdom teeth surgery, minus the fact that I still can't eat solid food, but I was able to go back to work today. One of my coworkers sent me a picture of a chipmunk and told me to print it out and stick it on my badge, so it seems the puffiness is still apparent! But despite this, I will do my best to return to regular posting and take some new pictures later this week.

Joseph Murphy has been elected South Milwaukee's city attorney 17 times, and he's ably served in that role for more than 33 years.
I consider him a trusted advisor, who I lean on for sound, reasonable advice on a variety of issues. He works hard to make sure the city is protected from threats, and he stands up, and behind, the work we do as a city government every day.
I am happy to say he will continue doing that work, just not as an elected official.
Attorney Murphy is moving to Milwaukee, which means he's resigning his elected seat. However, the city council — recognizing his skill in the job, his desire to keep serving in it, and the will of the voters — appointed Joe to the role of city attorney as their meeting on Tuesday.
This means Joe will be an employee of the city, in a role similar to that of our other department heads.
I support this move because I think we get to keep a great attorney with a deep knowledge and passion for our city in that job.
It's also something we planned to do soon anyway. You will recall the council voted last year to make the role of city attorney – as well as those of city clerk and city treasurer – non-elected jobs starting in 2017. This moves up that date two years for the attorney.
I thank Joe for his continued service and wish he and his wife Kitty well in their move.
