It's definitely not the best-known tech stock out there. But Silicon Labs
The semiconductor designer, which outsources most of its manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor
The company ships mixed-signal chips to electronics designers like Philips Electronics
Back to the future
And the story this quarter is based on radio-enabled handsets taking off across the pan-Asian market. Last year, the hot topic was high-end TV tuners that could handle digital broadcast signals and high-definition video formats. That market could reignite at any moment if recent consumer spending trends continue. As it is, even before today's jump, Silicon Labs' shares had soared 37% in the last three months and 23% over the past year. Yes, that includes the great crash of 2008.
High-def cable boxes or cell phone radios -- Silicon Labs is happy to profit either way. This company picked very exciting markets on which to focus, back when nobody else seemed to think they were important. And for such a small chip supplier to hold significant market share against massive rivals like Texas Instruments
That's the kind of plucky attitude and clear-eyed management that gets a company noticed by the Gardner brothers, which is why Tom has recommended Silicon Labs to Motley Fool Stock Advisor subscribers three times over -- with market-beating results.

Havent been the best in keeping everyone updated on Catwoman news and such. Life gets in the way.

So, to kick start a new period! Here is a new Catwoman piece by Sara Richard. This was a gift from a dear friend that managed to go to SDCC 2015. Enjoy!

PITTANCE (through O. Fr. pitance, from Lat. pietas, loving-Kindness), properly a gift to the members of a religious house for masses, consisting usually of an extra allowance of food or wine on occasions such as the anniversary of the donor's death, festivals and the like. The word was early transferred to a charitable donation and to any small gift of food or money. PITT-RIVERS, AUGUSTUS HENRY LANE-FOX (1827-1900), English soldier and archaeologist, son of W. A. Lane-Fox, was born on the 14th of April 1827. It was not till 188o that he assumed the name of Pitt-Rivers, on inheriting the Dorsetshire and Wiltshire estates of his great-uncle, the second Lord Rivers. Educated at Sandhurst, he received a commission in - the Grenadier Guards in 1845, being captain 185o, lieutenant-colonel 1857, colonel 1867, major-general 1877 and lieutenant-general 1882. He served in the Crimean War, and was at the Alma and the siege of Sebastopol. His talent for experimental research was utilized in investigation into improvements of the army rifle, and he was largely responsible for starting the Hythe School of Musketry. It is not, how-ever, for his military career, but for his work as an anthropologist and archaeologist, that General Pitt-Rivers will be remembered. His interest in the evolution of the rifle early extended itself to other weapons and instruments in the history of man, and he became a collector of articles illustrating the development of human invention. His collection became famous, and, after being exhibited in 1874-1875 at the Bethnal Green Museum, was presented in 1883 to the university of Oxford. When, in 188o, General Pitt-Rivers obtained possession of his great-uncle's estates—practically untouched by the excavator since they had been the battleground of the West Saxons, the Romans and the Britons—he devoted himself to exploring them. His excavations round Rushmore resulted in valuable " finds "; he founded a local museum and published several illustrated volumes. As a scientific archaeologist he attained high rank. Oxford gave him the D.C.L. in 1886; he was president of the Anthropological Institute, and F.R.S. He married, in 1853, Alice Margaret, daughter of the second Lord Stanley of Alderley, and had a numerous family; his second daughter became in 1884 the wife of Sir John Lubbock (Lord Avebury). General Pitt-Rivers died at Rushmore on the 4th of May 1900.End of Article: PITTANCE (through O. Fr. pitance, from Lat. pietas, loving-Kindness)

Explanatory Notes
This Offsite IT Support & Maintenance Agreement is designed for use by a company that provides support and/or maintenance services for a customer's computer system. It is as suitable for a one-man business as it is for a larger company.
As a template, the document contains a number of blanks and some items, in particular those which are likely to be the most variable, are in square brackets or italics. Before finalising the Agreement for signature, you should fill in the blank spaces and remove the square brackets and italics after making whatever adjustments are appropriate for you. A number of the square brackets contain time periods that you may want to alter.
At the beginning of the Agreement the full name of the company and the customer should be inserted and, in the case of a limited company, the registered office (if the company is incorporated in the UK) or other official address should be included.
The Agreement incorporates a number of Schedules. These will contain the details for each customer contract that is entered into. Each of these needs to be completed on a contract by contract basis – Schedule 1 describes the customer's equipment and software in respect of which support services are to be provided, Schedule 2 describes the services and Schedule 3 sets out the payment arrangements.
Comments on specific clauses are set out below.
This clause contains definitions and you will see that the initial period needs to be inserted. 6 or 12 months is quite common.
This clause contains the obligation of the company to provide services, by reference to the details set out in Schedule 2.
For a company which provides remote support services without regular site visits, clauses 2.2 and clause 2.3 briefly describe the service, with clause 2.3 making it clear that site visits will involve an extra charge and will only be made by agreement unless the Services Schedule includes onsite services. If site visits are a regular feature of the services, then clause 2.3 may need to be changed as appropriate.
This clause deals with duration. The date of commencement of the services should be inserted in the space in the first line. The clause is drafted so that the Agreement will automatically be renewed unless one or other party gives notice to terminate it and the length of each renewal period needs to be specified.
This clause deals with fees and payment. The clause has been drafted so that there is a fee covering basic services that is payable in advance – to cover the whole of the initial period and each renewal period. Additional services which are not covered by the basic fee will be invoiced monthly in arrears.
Clause 4.3 specifies the payment period and clause 4.4 gives the company the right to claim interest on any late payment and to suspend the services the payment is not received on time. In the UK, under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 the company is entitled to claim interest at a rate specified by the statute – 8% above base rate. This is more than the rate in our Agreement but the rate in the Agreement, if it is not the statutory rate, should be sufficient to cover the cost of borrowing in the event of late payment. If you want to charge interest at the statutory rate, the wording should be changed to refer to 'the rate calculated in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.'
Clause 4.5 provides for the fees to be varied after a period if the contract is renewed regularly. Sometimes a clause is inserted – either here or in the payment Schedule – which states that on each anniversary of the contract the company will be entitled to adjust the fees upwards by reference to the increase in an index – the Retail Price Index, for example – at the end of each 12 months or other period. It is always advisable to give the customer the right to terminate if he does not agree to the increased fees unless the increase is fixed by reference to a formula such as RPI. We have put wording on this subject in square brackets.
This clause sets out the responsibilities of the customer: it is important to contain such a clause so as to protect the company e.g. if the customer has modified some software or allowed equipment to be used by an incompetent operator as a result of which problems have arisen. Similarly, you do not want to find that the customer is using another service provider while your agreement is in place, especially if any of the software has been provided by the company. It is also sensible to contain provisions requiring the customer to notify any problems promptly and, of course, to provide access to the equipment – including remote access where this is part of the service.
This clause is also intended to protect the service provider: improper use of the equipment and unauthorised modifications relieve the company from its obligations. Under clause 6.2 services to rectify such difficulties may be provided, but at an additional charge.
This clause contains an obligation on the company to exercise reasonable skill and care when providing the services. In addition, because of the potential liability that can arise with defective software, the clause contains provisions which are intended to limit the company's liability quite strictly. Implied warranties are excluded under clause 7.4 and liability for indirect and consequential losses are excluded under clause 7.5.
Clause 7.6 leaves the company open to liability without limit for death or injury resulting from its negligence: this is because it is a liability which by law cannot be excluded in the UK.
Clause 7.7 then sets out a cap on the company's liability with some alternative wording for you to consider. There is legislation designed to protect consumers from unfair contract terms and legal advice may be required here. However, is not necessarily unfair to limit liability, especially where the service fees are quite modest.
This makes it clear that any software and materials developed by the company remain the property of the company and the customer's only right is to have a non-exclusive licence while the Agreement is in place. In addition, the customer is responsible for avoiding any infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights and for obtaining any licences which are necessary.
Clause 8.4 contains a confidentiality obligation on each of the parties. There are certain exceptions to this which are set out in clause 8.5.
This gives each party the right to terminate if the other commits a breach which cannot be remedied within 14 days, or if the other party becomes insolvent. In clause 9.3 the company is also given the right to suspend the service, as an alternative to termination, if the customer fails to pay an invoice on time.
This relieves the company of liability if it cannot perform services for reasons beyond its control. This might, for example, occur when remote access to the customer's equipment is not possible due to some telephone or satellite failure.
This allows neither party to assign its interest without the other's consent but the company can sub-contract some of the services, although this will not relieve the company of any of its liability to the customer.
This is a fairly standard provision which is of particular importance when serving notice to suspend or terminate the Agreement.
These three clauses contain what lawyers call "boilerplate" clauses. Our website has some information here in our free document.
This specifies the governing law of the Agreement – English law has been inserted in our draft but if the contract is made in another country, then the laws of that country should be inserted here. See also our free document on governing law.
This deals with possibility of disputes, with a 3-stage process. Firstly, the parties must try to resolve the dispute directly, secondly, if they cannot do this, then either party may refer the dispute to mediation, and finally, if mediation does not resolve the matter, the Courts will decide.

The start of a new insight - embodiment
Authors of this page:Dawn Clarke and Graham R. Gibbs

Date written: 2nd Sept. 2008
Updated. 5th July 2010
Learning outcomes
- Learn how revisiting the literature can help develop a more analytical approach.
- Understand how ideas from the literature can help you overcome early personal biases in your analysis.
Because her data analysis was not producing the results that she had hoped for Frances decided to go back and do further theoretical and research reviews. She hoped to gain a deeper understanding about how she could develop her analytical approach. She was still concerned about the potential for possible bias due to her medical background yet she wanted the research findings to be significant to the medical profession and therefore research in the field was relevant. What she achieved by combining the medical and psychological perspectives was the ablity to re-analyse the transcripts at a more analytical level.
What we see here is an example of how the development of a more analytical approach enabled Frances to reduce the number of codes that she had initially used because she was able to understand more clearly the type of information she required for the research. Having a large and unwieldy number of codes is a common problem for many researchers. How Frances actually reduced the numbers will be discussed in Section XX.
Frances described how further reading at that time which seemed unrelated to the project gave her an idea that eventually became a central theoretical and analytical concept in her research. This was embodiment in relation to whiplash injury.
Frances explained how she got this theoretical insight:Something I'd been reading, and it was about psychosomatic health. And just that term for me turned things around. That it was psychosomatic health as opposed to psychosomatic illness. Looking at this and the bodies, when they were ill, it was the movement that signalled something was wrong so there was like a distortion that had taken place and I remember writing this idea down about this distortion in the body, this felt distortion in bodily movement and this psychosomatic health. And that opened up this whole thing about embodiment and about health and what that means to the extent that sent me on a very different avenue. I remember getting hold of Leder's work on the 'absent body' - a lot of it's really hard to get your head around, I think - but there was a lot of things that were very relevant there and so that set me off on this theme about embodiment and what that means.
Frances went on to describe how she used this theory in her data analysis and how it became central to her understanding and explanation of the participants' experience of whiplash injury:
Through allowing herself the space to think away from her research, Frances, through hard work and chance, developed an idea that brought together the medical, personal and participants' ways of understanding whiplash injury; she then could present this using the theories of Leder's (1990) work for the academic audience.

The following is a copy of the first official email from your D2L to Canvas Migration Design Team.
Our campus (as well as all those within the UW Wisconsin System) is migrating from our current learning management system (D2L) to Canvas in Fall 2019.
This email is intended to provide you basic information on the migration as well as timeline and contact information. You'll see regular (at the minimum, monthly) emails and other communication from us regarding the progress of the migration and ways you can be involved beginning in January 2018.
Why are we changing to a new learning management system?
UW – System requested proposals from companies to identify a more effective and innovative learning management system that is aligned with our 2020FWD Strategic Framework. The timing of the proposal was related to ending of the current contract with Desire2Learn. Following feedback from campuses, Canvas was chosen both because of the system and the services they offer. One of the things our design team is most excited about is the 24 hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week support that Canvas will offer for both instructors and students.
Who is the design team for this project? What work are they doing?
Members of the design team are:
- Co-facilitators Jim Rink, IT and Monica Roth Day, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs;
- Harry Anderson, Dean of Students;
- Christina Kline, Interim Director of the Distance Learning Center;
- Representing instructors (Faculty and Academic Staff): Julie Gard, Kim Lebard-Rankila, Scott Smith, Maryjane Burdge, and Nicholle Schuelke;
- Representing instructional design and support: Del Wright, Stacy Leno, Mike Olson, Rebecca Graetz and Tom Tu.
The work of the design team is to:
- Identify policies and/or practices needed for a successful migration.
- Develop a communication plan with our campus, then communicate each step of the process.
- Identify the migration process and timeline, with a focus on the least amount of work and time for instructors.
- Identify necessary trainings, including online and face-to-face opportunities.
What is the timeline for the project? Do I need to prepare now?
We will be migrating to Canvas very deliberately over the next two years, with a great deal of work done "behind the scenes" by specific staff in Information Technology. The earliest that the Canvas migration could occur is next fall (2018) with early adopters (such as graduate programs). As an entire campus, we are planning for a full migration in Fall 2019 so that only one learning management system is used (rather than using D2l and Canvas simultaneously). NO MIGRATIONS WILL HAPPEN NEXT SEMESTER (Spring 2018).
What does this mean to me as an instructor? How much work will I need to do?
The design team is working hard to ensure that the migration process will take as little work as possible for instructors. The migration is related to the process of using the new learning management system, not changing your course content or learning activities. Think of it as moving to a new house – the look is different, but your furniture and household items are all the same.
What should I consider now in planning for the migration?
The design team is working with UW – System project managers and Canvas staff regarding the Canvas design (the basic tools for courses) and timeline to ensure as much as possible a successful migration. Keep an eye out beginning this spring semester for regular emails and notices regarding Canvas trainings from our design team. In addition to emails, we'll post them in digests and on our website, https://www.uwsuper.edu/teachingtools/canvas/index.cfm. We'll post opportunities for online and face-to-face trainings and consultations, as well as other information.
I'm nervous/worried/excited/etc and would like more info. Who should I contact?
For questions or concerns regarding this project, please feel free to contact Jim and Monica at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The UW-System Digital Learning Environment (DLE) Course Template Design team will be visiting campus on Friday, December 8th for two course template feedback sessions. The sessions will be in the Jim Dan Hill Library room 231 (see attached invites):
- First session is at 10:00-11:00 AM
- Second session is at 11:00 AM – Noon
Instructors and students are welcome to attend either of these feedback sessions. They will be hands-on sessions, so you'll be able to log into the UW-System Canvas testing area to see examples of what the course templates could look like and give your feedback on which you like the best.

November 15, 2017 (JUBA) – A South Sudanese civil society entity has welcomed Wednesday's decision of by the United Nations Security Council to renew the mandate of its peacekeeping force in Abyei.
- South Sudanese civil society activist Edmund Yakani (The Niles/File)
The UN Council extended until 15 May 2018 UNISFA's mandate in Abyei, a contested territory on the Sudan and South Sudan border.
Unanimously adopting a resolution, the 15-member Security Council also extended, for the same duration, tasks of UNISFA set out in the resolution that authorized the deployment of the same force 2011.
In a statement, Community Empowerment for Progress Organisation (CEPO) welcomed the renewal by the Security Council of the peacekeepers' mandate in the disputed region for the next six months.
"It is great and effective response to our advocacy. We are expecting the peacekeepers to effectively engage in protecting the lives of the civilians. The recent killings of civilians in Abyei are disturbing," said CEPO in a statement issued Thursday.
The renowned civil society organisation, however, called upon the UN peacekeepers in Abyei to maintain the approach of offering some services to the community such as cleaning of the town.
"These activities are giving home face for the peacekeepers," it further stressed.
Meanwhile, the Security Council also extended until 15 April 2018 UNISFA's support for the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism, which was established by the two countries as part of the negotiations on South Sudan's secession from Sudan in July 2011.
The 15-member Council, however, decided that this renewal of UNISFA's support for the Mechanism will be "the final such extension" unless Sudan and South Sudan ensure the free, unhindered and expeditious movement to and from Abyei and throughout the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone of all personnel, as well as equipment, provisions, supplies and other goods, including vehicles, aircraft, and spare parts, which are for the exclusive and official use of UNISFA.
The Council further decided to maintain the authorized troop ceiling of 4,791 until 15 April 2018, but the ceiling will decrease to 4,235 unless the Council decides to extend UNISFA's support for the Mechanism.
On 27 June 2011, the Security Council, by its resolution 1990, responded to the urgent situation in the disputed region of Abyei by establishing the UNISFA.
UNISFA's establishment came after the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in the south reached an agreement in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to demilitarise Abyei and let Ethiopian troops monitor the area.
Abyei, according to the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) provides that the contested territory remains part of the north until the organisation of a referendum determines its fate. The difference over who will participate in the referendum prevents the two countries from holding the agreed referendum.
However, the Dinka Ngok organised a unilateral referendum from 27 to 29 October 2013 to say they want to join the Republic of South Sudan. Khartoum, Juba, the African Union and the international community did not recognise outcomes of the vote.

Perfume river – crash course in Buddhism.
Our day trip with Mr Happy was both a feast for the eyes and the ears with a philosophical lesson in happiness and Buddhism. His real name Hy, he was a philosophy student who packed in his studies in his final year, because he had enough thinking time to realise there was no career in philosophy.
Probably the right decision because he was a brilliant tour guide. His insights and anecdotes were a pleasure and it was an intensive education that was hard to completely remember, but some of the standout stories were:.
Happiness , or having a happy life, comes from:
- Learning to be happy with what you have got, not always yearning for more.
- Giving from the heart, the pleasure of giving itself making you happy. He explained that the monks go around with alms bowls, not because they need the money, but because they provide you an opportunity to give, so they are giving you the opportunity to be happy, which is why you thank them and they don't show any gratitude.
He then went onto a series of stories and parables, based on 3 essential human characteristics that apparently we all have: our desire to collect things and amass more and more, our inherent laziness, and our inquisitive nature. The best story was about why man can live for 90 years and it goes something like:
At the beginning, god was giving out life, and the hard working water buffalo climbed to heaven and being the first there, god gave him 100 years as a reward. The monkey, an unhappy lonely creature, goes next and receives 40 years, whilst the lazy man with few responsibilities, gets there last, but god only has 20 years to give out. Luckily for man, these are good years, free from responsibility and happy, but man is not happy and always yearns for more.
A few years later and the buffalo is working himself to the bone, and he climbs up to god to complain about why is it that he has to work so hard for 100 years. Being inquisitive, man decides to follow the buffalo and watches God thinks and decides to cut away half the buffalo's life, leaving the buffalo with 50, and seeing the life come free, the man grabs the 50 years for himself. Man after all loves to collect things.
The monkey is also unhappy with his lot, lonely and isolated – and for 40 years – so he decides to complain and again the man follows to see what is going on. God listens and cuts the monkeys life in half, and again, the man who likes to collect things, grabs the 20 years for himself.
Finally man has got what he wants – to live for 90 years, but not is all as it seems, because after his 20 years of worry free fun as a child, he then has 50 years of hard work as an adult, and finally 20 years of solitude, isolation and fits of anger as an old git. Happy story all round!
As well as the philosophy lesson, the trip itself was an intensive barrage of sights and sounds, with pagodas, temples and tombs in fast succession; the filling in the more languid river cruise sandwich. Gluttons for punishment, the next day we made our own tour exploring the likes of the royal arena (where elephants fought declawed lions as recently as 1904), more pagoda's, and working monasteries full of monks and incense. Being away from the tours meant we could also enjoy all these things to ourselves.
Hue has a huge amount to offer, but it also showed the more negative aspects to Vietnamese culture – the constant aggressive hassle from hawkers really spoils things quite a bit – if they could take a few tips from the Thai's and chill out, the country could be perfect.

* TSX off 53.13 points, or 0.47 pct, at 12,444.49
* Seven of 10 main sectors lower
* Viterra rises 3.6 pct on takeover speculation
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO, March 12 (Reuters) - Toronto's resource-heavy main stock index fell on Monday morning as Chinese economic data weighed on oil and metals prices, pressuring the market's key mining and energy sectors.
Leading names on the downside included oil companies Canadian Natural Resources, down 2.1 percent at C$34.77, and Suncor Energy, which fell 1.4 percent to C$33.75. Barrick Gold shed 0.8 percent at C$45.09, while Teck Resources fell 1.6 percent to C$35.96
China's trade balance plunged $31.5 billion into the red in February as imports swamped exports to leave the largest deficit in at least a decade and fuel concerns about the extent to which frail foreign demand drove the drop.
"The markets are fidgety since the declaration of the lowering of the growth target," said John Ing, president of Maison Placements Canada. Earlier this month, China cut its economic growth target to the lowest level in eight years, sending commodity markets sharply lower on demand worries.
Ing added, however, that the China trade data was a monthly data point and was more "noise than anything substantive".
At 10:15 a.m (1417 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 53.13 points, or 0.47 percent, at 12,444.49, with seven of its 10 key sectors lower. The materials group fell 1.1 percent and the energy sector dropped 1.2 percent.
The slowdown in China's exports in February heightened concerns that global demand is still weak, even as U.S. jobs data last week pointed to an improving economy, raising expectations that changes in monetary policy will be put on hold for now.
The U.S. Federal Reserve meets this week to discuss the likely course of monetary policy. The U.S. central bank has committed to leaving rates near zero until at least late 2014.
Gold slid on Monday, under pressure from a softer euro and from dwindling expectations that the Fed will signal the need for more measures to keep U.S. rates low. The lower euro undermines gold as it becomes more profitable for euro-based investors to take profit on their bullion holdings.
On the upside was Viterra Inc, Canada's largest grain handler, which shot up 3.6 percent to C$14.07 after speculation Glencore is one of several parties interested in taking over the company. Glencore is a leading exporter of grain from Europe, the former Soviet Union and Australia.

Just Arrived. Angstrom RPS Monitors. They look a lot like Tangents.
3 comments:
Sweet looking speakers. I've always loved that form factor, teak wood look that British speakers had back then. I have a pair of Tangent RS-4, they look identical.

Box design pretty much is like the Tangent RS4 or TM1 however I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian speakers were more solid in construction. Tangent used thin walled birch ply, the stock in trade of BBC type designs in the 70s that added a nice warmth that could suddenly turn thick and droney in the wrong room with incompatible partnering EQ.
Also the Angstrom's crossover is not like the Tangent RS4 which featured a huge trough in the crossover region and a smaller one in the lower mids. This was engineered deliberately by Tangent designer John Greenbank to give the RS4 an added spaciousness and to ease harshness in the sensitive crossover region. If the frequencies aren't there there's nothing to burn the ears. The Anstroms on the other hand use no trickery, just no nonsense design that provides a genuinely flatter more accurate response than the Tangent RS4.

The 2018 ocean salmon season is off to a great start, but many believe the outlook for inland waters is dismal. In an effort to increase salmon returning to the spawning grounds, some ocean seasons have been shortened, along with changes to daily catch and possession limits inland.
The area known as the Fort Bragg region opened June 17 and, so far, charter boats, guides and individuals are reporting limits of big fish from Fort Bragg to Half Moon Bay.
The Klamath River fall-run chinook may be one of the better fishing opportunities, but fall-run returns for Sacramento River have been low for the third consecutive year; pushing them into overfished status.
The 2018 recreational ocean salmon season for the California coast is as follows:
The minimum size limit is 20 inches total length in all areas north of Pigeon Point and 24 inches in all areas south of Pigeon Point. The daily bag limit is two chinook salmon per day. No more than two daily bag limits may be possessed when on land.
On a vessel in ocean waters, no person shall possess or bring ashore more than one daily bag limit. Retention of coho salmon (also known as silver salmon) is prohibited in all ocean fisheries off California.
The 2018 recreational inland salmon season for California inland waters is as follows:
Seasons for Central Valley fishery start on traditional dates on all sections of all rivers. Only one salmon per day may be retained and the possession limit is two salmon.
In the Klamath River the season will open Aug. 15 and continue through Dec. 31. The Trinity River season will be open from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31. The daily bag limit is two salmon, no more than one over 22 inches. The possession limit is six salmon, no more than three over 22 inches.
Regulations approved by the CDFW commission since the 2017 season created a positive effect for the coming Central Valley salmon season. The new regulations – including closure of the American River's Nimbus Basin due to construction; reduction in daily bag and possession limit for the Central Valley, and a shortened leader length regulation to reduce snagging – were pivotal in setting seasons on the Sacramento River fall chinook to reduce harvests and rebuild stocking goals.
The 2018 regulations will be published in the 2018-2019 Sport Fishing Regulations Supplement and posted on the CDFW website in May. Additional information is on the CDFW's ocean salmon webpage or call CDFW's ocean salmon hotline (707) 576-3429 or the Klamath-Trinity River hotline (800) 564-6479.

"What an incredible feeling to look at a picture of your love and get washed over with feelings of pure joy, hope, excitement, inspiration and unconditional love," Webber, 35, told Who magazine of his then-pregnant-with-Bodhi wife in 2013.
Devoted husband Webber, who also has an 8-year-old son named Isaac from a previous relationship, thanked Palmer at the time for "showing me that true love exists and that I'm worthy of that love … Sharing and living life with you by my side = blissed out peace."

What is a Colposcopy?
Colposcopy is a procedure to look at the surface of the vulva, vagina, and cervix following an abnormal Pap test. If an abnormality is seen during colposcopy, a small sample of tissue (biopsy) may be taken from the cervix or from inside the opening of the cervix (endocervical canal). The sample is examined under a microscope for abnormal cells.
How is it done?
A colposcopy can usually be performed on an outpatient basis in our office. Your CHCW physician will use a lighted magnifying instrument that looks like a pair of binoculars (colposcope). The colposcope magnifies the view 2 to 60 times, allowing the doctor to see abnormalities that would be missed by the naked eye. A camera can be attached to the colposcope to take pictures or videos of the vagina and cervix for a permanent record.
Your doctor will apply vinegar (acetic acid), and sometimes iodine (Lugol's solution), to the vagina and cervix with a swab or cotton balls to make areas of abnormal cells more visible. If biopsies are collected, they can be examined under a microscope to determine if the abnormality may be cancerous or likely to lead to cancer (precancerous).
Several factors increase a woman's risk of developing cervical cell changes that can lead to cancer of the cervix. These risk factors include:
- A personal history of precancerous changes of the cervix or cervical cancer.
- Being infected with certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Having a previous abnormal Pap test.
- Starting sexual intercourse at an early age (younger than 18 years old).
- Having three or more sex partners in a lifetime or a partner who has had multiple sex partners.
- Having a weakened immune system.
- Smoking.
- Use of birth control pills (oral contraceptives) for more than 5 years.

If your little ones like erupting things like mine do then this is a fun must try sensory science play. All you need is 3 simple ingredients and you are ready to go.
Baking soda (Dollar Tree $.50 for 16oz box)
Instant coffee (Dollar Tree $1.00 for 12oz bag)
Vinegar(You can purchase our by the gallon at Wal-Mart $2.33)
I poured the box of baking soda and coffee together and mixed it all together. Then added some vinegar to a squirt bottle or squeeze bottle and let the kids play.
There is so much you can do with this fun sensory science play. Add dinosaurs, trucks, cars, make mud pies, garden play and the list could go on.
Be sure to check out some of the other fun sensory plays we have done below.

Ahhh – and if they were not lucky enough to get an interview it could be because they hit send before using spell check. Someone applying for a job where communication skills are a must should ALWAYS use spell check.
Someone who bad talks the current employer always leaves a bad impression with me. I always wonder what the candidate did to make the employer treat him/her so badly.
Many of us work in a virtual environment these days. So someone may think they can wear PJs to the interview. DON'T!! Dress for success so it comes through your attitude on the phone.

The days are getting longer and I find it much easier to study a bit after dinner while it's still bright outside. In May I finally started to teach Italian again and I'm willing to move my teaching online as soon as possible. It's frustrating to waste two hours on the tube for every hour of lesson. I want to be able to dedicate that time to add more creativity to language learning!
How did it go last month?
First of all, I was finally able to put into words the reasons for my crisis with Japanese. It will take some time to solve the issues, but it's a start. I did watch a few movies (you'll find my recommendations below) and listened to music.
I'm enjoying practising writing on Instagram. The language learning community is active and lively there and I like to see how everyone is doing and to be inspired.
I didn't watch any movie in French and Swedish though. It's difficult to force myself to pick a film just because it's in my target language. Movies are a very serious business for me and I can only watch something if it fits the mood.
French reading practice worked alright, I also used French for a few Google searches instead of English.
Studying Swedish this month was really pleasant, more so than usual. I accomplished most of my goals: I learnt over 100 words on Memrise – Swedish 5, studied regularly on Babbel (*) and Learningswedish.se and practised reading every week. I have mostly absorbed and had a slow learning approach for a while, but I finally feel it's time to step up my game.
A new Swedish learning routine
I've been feeling more confident about Swedish recently: I'm familiar with the sentence structure, I can predict some patterns and I learnt enough vocabulary to start producing sentences beyond "the pen is on the table". With the help of a dictionary, I am also able to read simple articles and posts written for native speakers. This is why I want to challenge myself: this month I will start exploring 8 Sidor, a website with simplified news in writing and audio. It's aimed at intermediate learners and I'm not even close, but reading is my strongest point so I'm going to dare.
Last week I got some news that made me rethink my Swedish learning routine: an invitation to the wedding of my boyfriend's sister, at the end of the summer. As I'm going to meet most of the family (no pressure at all!) I want to be able to have decent conversations with them in Swedish. I am sure everyone will be amazing in English, but that would be cheating, right?
I am going to prepare to have conversations on a few topics that might come up during the event and to answer and ask questions about myself and others. My keywords will be: reinforce (what I already learned) and build (new skills and confidence).
In the past few months I had dropped Duolingo as I didn't find it useful in the first stages of learning, but now I'm going back to a few sessions a week. For me, it works much better as a reviewing tool.
I added to my resources a new website (thank you, Marie, for recommending it!): hejsvenska.se. It's fun and covers everyday vocabulary that might actually come in handy.
Babbel, Learningswedish.se and Memrise will still be part of my weekly routine. In particular, I want to create a new deck on Memrise for words, sentences and expressions to use in conversations. The areas I want to reinforce or build are:
- Introducing myself: nationality, age, profession, where I live.
- Family.
- Likes and dislikes.
- Verbs: present tense, past tense, future tense.
- Small talks.
- Talk about my country.
- Food, drinks.
These are mostly very basic topics but I want to be sure I can talk extensively and with confidence about them. You might have guessed it: talking is the hardest part for me – in any language really, even my own!
The biggest change to my routine will be adding a lot of production. Every week I will pick one subject and write a brief text about it, researching vocabulary and getting it corrected. I will then have a conversation about the same topic, expanding it with new words and expressions.
Can you think of any other area I should prepare for the big occasion? I might be too nervous to think clearly!
Language goals for French and Japanese
I will give myself as much freedom as possible with Japanese. We had a bad breakup and we need to become friends again, so we'll be kind to each other. Hopefully, there will be many more movies – one per week sound like a good deal.
For French I will have the chance to talk as I'm seeing an old friend from France later this month, we'll see if I can still express myself. I will also keep reading an article per week.
Japanese movies recommendations
In May I watched two beautiful movies by director Hirokazu Koreeda, After Life and Air Doll. You can find two bite-sized Japanese lessons inspired by these films in my last post.
I also watched three very good animated works.
Kiki Delivery Service (魔女の宅急便 Majo no takkyūbin), an old favourite of mine, is the story of a young witch growing up, learning to live by herself and to be independent. It's a very sweet movie by Hayao Miyazaki, produced by Studio Ghibli. Not only the film itself is lovely, but it's also set in a town inspired by Stockholm and Visby. Watching it right after coming back from Sweden got me nostalgic and emotional.
Patema Inverted (サカサマのパテマ Sakasama no Patema) is a science fiction work set in a dystopic world. Humans have messed around with gravity with worrying results. Amidst a dictatorship fuelled by fear and hate, a boy and a girl will meet and bond despite all adversities.
Pom Poko (平成狸合戰ぽんぽこ Heisei tanuki gassen ponpoko), directed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata, is a tale rooted in Japanese folklore and with a strong environmentalist message. Tanuki 狸 (Japanese racoon dogs) are threatened by humans destroying their forest, so they decide to open a war against men. A cleaver, fun yet bitter portrays of Japan and its modernisation (or westernisation?).

Bob Ellis and Lee Morris won't become Fulton County commissioners until January. But they're already looking for ways to cut spending and reduce taxes.
The newly elected Republicans attended a series of recent hearings at which Fulton department heads made their 2015 budget pitches.
"It was reminiscent of my time on the (Atlanta) City Council, when departments would always come to us and tell us they needed a whole lot more money or the sky would fall," Morris said.
Though they haven't crafted specific proposals, the newcomers believe there are opportunities to trim administrative costs.
"I do think there are still opportunities for savings in the way we administer and run the county," Ellis said. "I think there are inefficiencies there and a lack of collaboration."

Both men have criticized the county's recent 17 percent tax increase. They concede they may not have the votes to repeal it next year (Republicans missed a chance to gain a commission majority on Election Day). But Ellis said they might convince their colleagues to roll back the rate somewhat next year to offset rising property values.
"I think we'll see values go up," he said. "Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to roll that millage rate back as well."
In the meantime, the newcomers want to avert another tax increase and pass a budget that doesn't rely on reserve funds to balance the bottom line.
Chairman John Eaves and the county staff are expected to unveil a proposed 2015 budget as soon as next week. Read more about what it might contain in Sunday's AJC.

Hello to you all, hope you haven't been swept away in this horrid English weather, and if your one of my friends from outside the UK, I understand now how you all presume us Limeys have such bad summers. We do.
As the quest continues for inspiration for the interior decoration of my new apartment, which I should be in by the end of August, I have been toying with the idea of having a gallery of beautiful images adorning my rather large and empty wall in the hall way. Alberto Vargas has always been a favourite of mine for his soft and sensual pin up girl sketches, but he also painted many aristo and society women too.
On another note. I have been attending a lot of vintage fairs lately as a seller. This weekend I'm at the Antique vs Vintage Fair in Surrey and on Sunday at St. Stephen's in Hampstead for the pop up vintage fair. Come and see me if your around!
Also, I have been getting so many amazing, flattering and exciting business proposals and offers lately… it is so hard to keep things in perspective and Im trying to remind myself that as exciting as all these projects would be there is only one project that I should be spending my precious time with…
Love to you all, Sadie xxx
Top of the morning to you all!!
I had some lovely news this week that we will be moving to a new home!! A lovely pied a terre , with two bedrooms and a big big garden!!!
So, before I have even contemplated packing, I have of course already started planning the interiors. Priorities darlings!
I haven't shared these before, but here are some pics of the apartment I am in now. Its in Windsor in Berkshire, England. Its a little one bed.
As you can see, my apartment now is VERY pretty and girly with a serious nod to vintage/shabby chic. I want to be a little bolder in the new place.
Here are some of my design inspirations so far, for the new place.
So I'm looking to get a feel of Dorothy Draper, 165 Eaton Place (BBC Adaptation) and Hollywood Regency Glamour. I am also contemplating whether or not I can get away with a navy blue hallway?? Thoughts please x
Oh and here is pic of myself, my son and my niece at the classic car show in Berkshire yesterday. And yes, I am sporting a new Betty Page fringe. Dress is 50s Vintage St. Micheals xx
Just to mention that a few of the pics taken of my current home are by the lovely Kelly Green at Lola Rose, you can click to her site via the ad at the top, left of the page.
Love love, Sadie xx
Hello my vintage craving darlings!!
Found these little beauties today, your going to love them!!!
This stunning sunny shirt dress is from Horrockses from the 1950s, highly collectable, size 10 and in near perfect condition.
And this pretty full skirt dress is by Hollyrood, is from the 50s and again is size 10 and in near perfect condition.
If you are interested in owning either of these scrumptious pieces please leave a comment and your email and I'll get back to you .
More gorgeousness tomorrow!!
Love love, Sadie xx
I have the worst cold… I think it's the boobons…. so thought I would cheer myself up with some pretty Hollwood glamour shoots.
A rather large grin spreads across my face when I look at this heavenly yet ridiculously over the top Champagne glass bed from the 1964 Shirley Maclaine film " What a way to go", which by the way is a terrible movie but completely worth watching for the stunning Adrian costumes and fabulously extravagant sets!
Talking of Adrian, a fashion bitch so fabulous that he only needed one name, even in 1950s Hollywood, here are a few of my favourite of his designs followed by some of my other favourites by various designers…
This is Adrian's design for Jean Harlow in Dinner at 8, the dress was so form fitting that they crew on the set had to construct a vertical bed for Harlow so she could rest between takes. Totally worth it I say…
And then there is Adrian's pretty prom style dress for the very youthful Elizabeth Taylor in "A Place in The Sun".
This mind blowing creation was Adrian's masterpiece for Joan Crawford in "Dancing Lady".
Cecil Beaton's creation for the scene in "My Fair Lady" when Audrey is unveiled to high society after her transformation!
Travilla for Monroe in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes"
I could go on, and on…..
Lots of Love, Sadie x
I am an avid follower of quite a few blogs, and follow them using the fab Bloglovin site to keep track!
So I have decided to share my favs with you all, and my first recommendation is the wonderful Diary of a Vintage Girl.
The blog is the on-line social diary of beautiful vintage model and vintage socialite Fleur De Guerre . I love following her exploits and looking into her fun life with all her equally stunning friends!
Find Fleur HERE!!!
I have to admit, I am a bit of a fan of Fleur De Guerre's blog Diary of a Vintage Girl.
If you haven't already heard of Fleur, I highly recommend adding her to your list of regular blogs. She is a vintage girl about town, model, muse and always seems to have her delicately half moon manicured fingers in the most exciting vintage pies on the London scene.
So head on over to the blog now, and follow her exciting vintage life!

I opened my inbox the other day to find these beautiful images of the new line of Wallpapers that are being launched this Spring by Little Green.
Here's the press release.
"The '50s Line Papers' collection is another chapter in Little Greene's ongoing revival programme of the best, yet often forgotten, wallpaper designs of the past.
The '50s Line Papers' collection is another chapter in Little Greene's ongoing revival programme of the best, yet often forgotten, wallpaper designs of the past.
For this latest range the company has collaborated with The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, which houses one of the largest wallpaper archives in the UK. The collection focuses on the 1950s; an era very much within living memory for many.
The 50s Line Papers encapsulate this decade of post-war revival, with its newfound freedom of expression and palpable spirit of adventure – albeit a thrifty one – championed in a culture and economy striving to rebuild both confidence and identity.
The collection is named in tribute to the celebrated wallpaper manufacturer, John Line & Sons, who, since the turn of the 20th century, commissioned artists to create innovative and adventurous wallpapers. The eight eclectic designs represent a variety of designers and styles from the 50s era, some of which were indeed manufactured by the John Line & Sons factory in Southall, London.
All the papers are careful interpretations of the original archive documents, respectfully adapted in scale and detail to honour the spirit of the period. In keeping with its previous heritage collections, Little Greene has embellished some patterns, refined others and applied its colour expertise to create a range of papers that will serve not just the 50s enthusiast but interiors of any era and style.
The 50s Line Papers celebrate the confident use of colour which is so highly representative of the time, whilst the designs themselves demonstrate a somewhat relaxed approach to the 'modern' interior: a distinct departure from the more formal decorating style so favoured by previous generations of designers and homeowners."
Now I just need to decide which one to use in my living room make-over….
Sadie xx
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had a jolly good evening.
What are you up to in 2011? Perhaps you might like a change of scene? Well here is a sight worth beholding, and perhaps if you have a spare £3.5 million you could consider relocating to this pearl of an apartment in Chelsea, London.
I simply MUST have this mirrored paneling on the bath and vanity, and the mother of pearl tiling! It is top of my list of to do's in interior next year. Although I think I will save it for myself and "maybe" pass it on to a client??
The apartment has been converted from part of a Chelsea dance school that Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fontaine once attended, the first floor alone covers an impressive 1,860sq.
Isn't it a shame of how far of the mark the design of the kitchen is in relation to the rest of the apartment.. I would rip it all and put in white marble and an Aga.
Best wishes, Sadie xx
Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and if your not a member one of the Christmas celebrating faiths, I can only apologise for the shop closures and rubbish television over the last week.
I celebrated my 31st birthday by treating myself to not one, but TWO gorgeous new vintage handbags!
The first is a divine 1950s Tapestry bag, which is in pristine condition.
Don't you just LOVE it?
The second may seem a little more uninteresting, but actually is the more exciting handbag, from a vintage point of view, than the first, mostly because it is from the Famous New York Boutique, Lesco Lona and probably dates to the early 1960s.
On top of this it has Bakelite handles and fixing. And that makes me smile.
Now then. New bags need new outfits. Right ladies? 😉

All this snow is making my obsession with vintage furs even more intense.
Now, I know there is a lot of debate as to whether or not VINTAGE fur is acceptable, and I certainly wouldn't wear new fur, except perhaps the eco farmed stuff, but surely putting vintage fur (at least no younger than 20 years) to landfill is more ecologically un-ethical than wearing and buying it.
As a meat eating, leather wearing citizen, I find no issue with vintage, eco and responsibly farmed fur, but the debate continues and in my mind we all have the individual right to wear and own what we like as the responsibility lies with the individual to act in all cases as well as this to try as much as possible to encourage fair and humane farming practices by fur farmers.
And I will NOT be quiet if I am attacked in the street, even at vintage events by the left wing anti fur crowd. I AM A PERSON WITH MY OWN MIND AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE UP MY OWN MIND ABOUT FUR!
So, getting of my soap box, here are some pretty pictures of some truly FABULOUS fur wearing beauties!
The stunning Catherine Deneuve in YSL and Coco Chanel in Chanel (obviously)
Carole Lombard.
Omar Sherif and his lovey female co-stars in Dr Zhivago, the ultimate in fur wearing films!
David Bowie
Elizabeth Taylor wearing fur and the HUGE Taylor Burton Diamond! That woman knows about jewellery.
Elizabeth Taylor has very expensive taste in fur and jewellery and she looks amazing for it.
Hedy Lamarr
Madame Dietrich.
Rita Hayworth, holding her own against Taylor in the Fur and Jewellery stakes.
So I leave you on this cold, winter day to make your own mind up about vintage fur. All I ask is that you think before you attack someone for how they choose to dress.

National Steel Car is a private company that is the owned by a Canadian businessman, Gregory James Aziz. The firm is recognized for being the leading manufacturer of rolling stock in North America. Greg Aziz bought the company in 1994, and it has been enjoying tremendous growth under his leadership. He is the railroad freight car builder's CEO and president. The firm's factory is located in Hamilton, Ontario, and it currently supplies products to the entire North America. National Steel Car has offered the top-notch rolling stock to the rail transport industry for the past one century.
Greg Aziz bought National Steel Car to act as one of the divisions of the National Industries Inc., which is a company that he chairs. The businessman has worked hard to transform the enterprise into the best provider of rolling stock in North America. National Steel Car focused in serving the Canadian market when Aziz acquired it, and he is currently striving to make it a global company. His skills as a business administrator are evident since he managed to grow its productivity from 3,500 to 12,500 cars within five years. Gregory also invested in human resources by increasing the firm's workforce from 500 to 3000 employees. The railroad freight tanks and vehicles that National Steel Car offers are used by most commercial rail operators in North America.
The businessman was an administrator at Affiliated Foods before joining the manufacturing business. His family owns the company, and its primary focus is wholesaling fresh foods in the United States and Canada. Affiliated Foods only operated in Canada when Aziz joined it in the early 1970s. He was in charge of the firm for 16 years and managed to expand its business to the entire North America. James Aziz worked for the food distribution enterprise until the 1980s when he moved to New York to become an investment banker. Greg is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario where he was awarded a degree in economics.
The presence of National Steel Car in Hamilton, Ontario is much appreciated by surrounding community. The company has helped in improving the economy of the region by offering jobs. It also participates in charity. James Aziz and his staff are usually involved in food drives that aim at supporting food banks in the city. National Steel Car has also offered donations to organizations such as United Way, Royal Agriculture Winter Fair, the Salvation Army, and the Hamilton Opera. Click Here for more information

Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi declared three days of mourning in the wake of the attack, which occurred in the capital's central Al-Karada district at about 1.00 a.m. local time (2200GMT) on Sunday.
According to a health ministry source who spoke anonymously due to safety concerns, the blast left at least 185 others injured.
A medical source from Baghdad's Health Department, who spoke anonymously due to fears for his safety, said the death toll had been revised upwards after a number of bodies were pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building.
"Eleven unidentified bodies are at [Baghdad's] Kadhimiya Hospital, 27 at Karama Hospital and nine at Sheikh Zayed Hospital," the source said.
The bombing was swiftly claimed by Daesh, which overran vast swathes of territory in northern and western Iraq in 2014.
In a statement circulated online, the group said the bombing had targeted Shia Muslims. The statement could not, however, be independently verified.
Visiting the site in the wake of the attack, al-Abadi linked the deadly bombing to Daesh's recent territorial losses.
"The terrorists carried out this bombing… after being crushed at the battle of Fallujah," he said, vowing to find and punish the perpetrators.
The city of Fallujah was recaptured from Daesh by Iraqi forces last week.
The Al-Karada district had been bustling with late-night shoppers when the blast -- Iraq's deadliest this year -- tore through a main street.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry, for its part, was quick to condemn the attack.
"We condemn this outrageous attack and wish mercy for those who lost their lives… [We] hope the wounded recover quickly and we express our condolences to the Iraqi nation," it said.
The U.S. likewise denounced the attack.
"These attacks only strengthen our resolve to support Iraqi security forces as they continue to take back territory from ISIL," U.S. National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said, using an alternative acronym for Daesh.
