Because of the threat of shoreline erosion from strong storm action and sea level rise affecting waterfront property values, considerable attention has been focused on shoreline protection. In the recent past, shorelines have been "stabilized with hardened structures, such as bulkheads, revetments, and concrete seawalls. Ironically, these structures often increase the rate of coastal erosion, remove the ability of the shoreline to carry out natural processes, and provide little habitat for estuarine species."[1] Alternatively, government agencies responsible for resource protection have proposed more natural bank stabilization and erosion control called "living shorelines," which NOAA defines as: "… a range of shoreline stabilization techniques along estuarine coasts, bays, sheltered coastlines, and tributaries… [that]… incorporates [natural] vegetation or other living, natural 'soft' elements alone or in combination with some type of harder shoreline structure (e.g. oyster reefs or rock sills) for added stability… [to] maintain continuity of the natural land-water interface and reduce erosion while providing habitat value and enhancing coastal resilience."[2]
FWRI's Center for Spatial Analysis (CSA) has taken an interest in living shorelines in the Tampa Bay region and, as a state partner in the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA), became aware of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science's (VIMS) Living Shoreline Suitability Model (LSSM)[3] and its application in Mobile Bay, Alabama.[4] VIMS developed the LSSM in ESRI's ArcGIS Model Builder based on a decision tree that can assist in identifying appropriate living shoreline treatments to an area (Figure 1). Because of the LSSM's success in identifying locations where a living shoreline restoration project may be effective, CSA's Kathleen O'Keife and Chris Boland received grant funding from GOMA's Habitat Resources Team (HRT) to apply the LSSM to the Tampa Bay region.
The LSSM requires information about existing environmental conditions to correctly apply the decision tree, such as existing habitat, slope of coastal waters, environmental conditions (e.g. fetch, current speed, and sunlight shading), and potential construction barriers (e.g. nearby road or permanent structures). The recently updated (June 2016) environmental sensitivity index (ESI) dataset, originally collected for oil spill response purposes, answered many of these required criteria and so became CSA's base input dataset to the model. CSA staff spent approximately four months of full-time work to manually review each of the 5,162 shoreline segments, which ranged in length from about 100 feet to about 500 feet and classified the remaining required data fields appropriately.
Once completed, the LSSM model was run based upon the derived input dataset and completed in less than an hour. The model outputs resulted in additional fields that provide property owners and management entities with suggested Upland Best Management Practices (BMP) and Shoreline BMPs. [5] The results are displayed in Figures 2 and 3. Overall, the modified LSSM recommended the installation of a living shoreline to approximately 33% of the shoreline, protection from a "harder" landscape protection method to about 11% of the shoreline, and was unable to recommend a BMP to the rest (56%) Tampa Bay area's shoreline, typically because the installation of a living shoreline would be obstructed by an existing shoreline condition.
The model results can be reviewed in CSA's educational materials that were developed as grant deliverables. The ArcGIS Online story map (http://arcg.is/0CPKD9) was developed to inform the general public of the use of living shorelines as a shoreline protection alternative, and the Web Mapping Application (http://arcg.is/2gr3Fca) was intended to assisting managers in identifying potential preservation and mitigation areas.

Rusk + Nyles - Swisher Sweet
Hailing from Texas and Chicago, Rusk has been one artist who's been a loose string of singles that have caught our attention. From "Wrangler Coupe" to "Black Friday", the modernized eccentric sound that Rusk delivers is cool, laid-back, soulful, and it's something that's missing in today's time. His latest effort, "Swisher Sweet" represents just that. The collaboration between Rusk and Nyles is presented with a Screwed Up Click, random audio clips for ad-libs, and swank lyrics about kicking with the ladies, a night on the town, and just keeping things "Swisher Sweet". This is a must listen and we recommend this for your playlist.

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a celebration of all things piratical in honor of the likes of Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, and Davy Jones. I'm amazed at how popular this "holiday" has become in recent years, spreading from port to port all around the world.
And it's more than just talking like a pirate, saying "Arrr" and calling your pals "matey." Our local Krispy Kreme had a crew of sea dogs lined up out the door, dressed in their finest seafaring togs and hoping for a dozen free donuts for their trouble.
In honor of the festivities, I'm sharing another excerpt from my book, Pirate Journey, available from Amazon in both print and digital formats. Enjoy!
"Ship ahoy!" came the call from the crow's nest. "She's an Indiaman, Cap'n, layin' low in the water an' flyin' the Dutch colors."
Dave was standing on the poop deck next to Captain Adams. "Low in the water, eh?" muttered the captain. "Must be full o' cargo. A generous prize ripe fer the pluckin'." He laughed and nudged Dave with his elbow. Then he shouted, "Heave around to her, men, and hoist the black flag."
The steersman spun the helm, turning the great ship toward a spot on the horizon. Sailors began hauling on lines everywhere, adjusting the sail to take advantage of every breeze. Soon, Dave could clearly see the slow-moving merchant ship ahead of them.
"Looks like she be trying ter run away, boys, but she'll never outrun the Peregrine," Captain Adams's voice roared as his crew cheered. Dave looked out at the Dutch Indiaman as the captain shouted, "Now's the time, lads. Ready the guns."
The sailors cheered again. This was just the type of action they had been waiting for. Dave watched as they carried the heavy cannon balls across the deck. Others began to arm themselves with pistols and swords.
Finally the target was within range. "Bring us about," shouted the captain. The helmsman turned the wheel and the Peregrine began to change course. Instead of being directly ahead of them, the merchant ship was now off their port side.
"Fire a broadside, men!" Suddenly the air thundered with the sound of thirty cannons being fired at once. Most of the shots splashed into the water, but Dave saw a few hit the Indiaman before acrid gunpowder smoke blocked his view.
The sailors hurriedly reloaded the cannons, but before they had a chance to fire again, a white flag was hoisted up the mainmast of the Dutch ship.
"Blasted cowards," said the captain under his breath. Then he grinned at Dave. "It be easier this way, but not as much fun, says I."

Better Illuminate With Art Deco Floor Lamp
They distinguish this environment and also have the virtue of operating as a legitimate decoration. Much in vogue from the previous decades, only think about that floor lamp were a feature of living in the 70s. However, in recent years are coming back and are sought to decorate and complete the living room.
Art deco floor lamp – The Art Deco lamps are the work of decorating artists seeking perfection in the sober forms, a true amalgam of creations of art and art. The Art Deco is an artistic movement took off from the 20s and which is distinguished from its own clean, curved lines. Compared to Art Nouveau full of scrolls and excess. We have to benefit from those lamps to get the most out of this space.
One of the most used substances in art deco floor lamp is metal, as it's very powerful and versatile. The contours can be forged by researching different fashions and intervening on the structural makeup of this element itself. One of the vital qualities of a metal floor lamp is that the brightness of this material and the fluidity of shapes, no matter its design.
This article main ideas is art deco floor lamp.

College in the High School Adjunct Teachers
Considering CHS at your school?
WVC recommends carefully considering the decision to teach CHS classes before moving forward. CHS provides a college experience that prepares students to successfully transition to college after high school graduation. The role of a high school teacher is critical in fulfilling this purpose. A poor experience in a high school CHS class has the potential to drive students away from college, while a positive experience has the potential to drive them toward a successful college career and a job that they will hopefully enjoy throughout their life.
Before beginning the process of becoming aWVC CHS instructor, high school teachers should thoughtfully consider the following questions:
- Am I excited about the idea of giving my students a college experience to better help them navigate college processes and experience college rigor so that they are better prepared for college after high school?
- Am I willing to invest additional time and energy into learning the college curriculum and teaching that curriculum in the way outlined by the WVC academic department?
- Am I willing to make myself easily accessible via phone or email to the WVC CHS department and WVC faculty liaison who will be assigned to me if I am approved to teach?
If you've answered yes to all of the questions above and feel excited about this new endeavor, you are well on your way to becoming a powerful force in the lives of students by preparing them to make that leap over to college after high school.

And the party rolls on
(right down 6th Street)
After we left the capitol building, we headed back downtown to get a snack and regroup. We ended up in some bar that was showing the UT Austin game. Mike was thrilled to say the least. Texans take their football serious and it's quite an experience to watch a game surrounded by these folks. They're as entertaining as the game itself. So as we were sitting there, resting our feet, we decided to blow off ACL for the day. There wasn't a whole lot we wanted to see and the thought of fighting the crowds wasn't too appealing.
So Plan B came came into action. Mike found an even lively bar to watch the UT game with some rowdy frat boys and I went to a tattoo parlor to get my foot tattoo touched up. It's almost 10 years old and Mike jokes that it looks like a prison tattoo ... Matt (the Austin tattoo artist that ended up doing the touch-up work for me) said it looked like I got the tattoo when I was in the Navy. I spent a few hours waiting and then enduring some excruciating pain at the Black Cat Custom Tattoo parlor where both Billy Bob Thorton and Angelina Jolie have been inked. Mike made it back to BCCT in time to see the pain part and document it in photos.
Then it was tapas at Malagas. Yum, yum and another big yum. I love me some tapas. There is a tapas place in Vegas, Firefly, that is just about my favorite place to eat. And though Malagas can't compare to Firefly, it was quite tasty. And I even cheated a little (don't tell my doctor) and had a few bites of dessert. I could only do a few bites ... since I stopped eating sugar, everything seems so much sweeter. A bowl of strawberries are too sweet for me if that tells you anything!
While Mike was watching the UT game at Maggie Maes, he managed to get the bartender to tell him the ACL Secret Show planned for that evening would be The Decemberists. The show was supposed to start at midnight and Mike REALLY, REALLY wanted to go. So he devised a plan to keep me out and about long enough that we'd be near Maggie Maes when the show started and would have to go. And Mike managed to keep us busy and entertained at Buffalo Billiards. I learned to play shuffle board ... yup it was my first time and I kicked Mike's butt!

The court cannot proceed until the accused understands the charge. Lloyd made it very clear that he did NOT understand the charge. Lloyd's position invokes the Sixth Amendment Right to know the nature and cause of the accusation. Thus, he has already raised a non-frivolous, fundamental issue. The ONLY thing which the court could do at that point in time, is to enter a plea for him, because they cannot proceed without a plea having been entered. Lloyd must now OBJECT formally, if he did not do so at the moment that "not guilty" plea was entered. Here is what I recommend: Lloyd should file a NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF PLEA, BY AFFIDAVIT, and serve it on all parties. That will set up the challenge properly. Also, is there a verified complaint by damaged party(s)? This is very fundamental also.

A beautiful and evocative description of the devastating impact of a young girl in India being married off at a young age…and why the work of the Malala Fund is so important.
NAFSA: Association of International Educators Blog
Recently, NAFSA announced that Shiza Shahid, co-founder and ambassador of the Malala Fund as a plenary speaker at the 2015 NAFSA Annual Conference in Boston. Ms. Shahid has been an outspoken advocate for the empowerment of girls through increased access to education ever since she was a young woman growing up in Pakistan.
The importance of the cause that Ms. Shahid is championing may seem self-evident to most of us living in the West. The realities of the lives of young girls in rural and impoverished regions of the world can be quite abstract – even to those like me who was born and raised in India but in an upper middle class, urban household. It was only because of an experience that I had many decades ago when I was in my early 20s that I realized, in an emotionally charged way, what the lives of many girls in…

Try our new info resource - "Aladdin's Cave" (Main menu)Just added a separate board for Black Bomber stuff
Been watching a few bikes on Ebay over the past few months. Can't understand why people are having bidding wars when there are days and days to go before the auction ends.All it does is push the price up, great for the seller but not the bidders.One I was watching recently, 6 days to go, 2 people out bidding each other, whats the point?Am I missing something?
Odd bidding behaviour, especially from accounts with little or no feedback, usually indicate dodgy dealings. In my experience anyway.Someone wants to get the price up when bids were slow.Sadly e-bay does nothing to clamp down on a lot of stuff. As an example, I bid on a load of stuff from one seller all on 99p initial bids. No other bids came in...and all of the items were pulled 5 minutes before the end.. and relisted the next day. The seller claimed 'a mistake'.. The relisted items then all got bid on by one other account.. and sold. Guess what...every part was back up for sale the next week......It's a good place to find stuff....but there are sharks swimming in those waters too.
My mate sold his homing pigeons on ebay. Again.

The library spaces are undergoing a change, not only physically but philosophically. It is no longer a "quiet" space with only books on shelves; it is now a learning commons. It is a space that is focused on being user-friendly with a technology and literary element. It is a space that advocates collaboration, learning, creativity, and most of all, flexibility.
These spaces are usually filled with learners who need to talk through ideas and work on projects in groups. Teachers are using these spaces to launch creative ideas and research ideas using technology as well as other available resources. Most of these spaces are now including what is called a Makerspace. It is a space where students can go to be creative and use critical thinking skills to complete standards. The role of the Library Media Specialist is also undergoing a change. Working to find a way to make the spaces more visible, flexible and overall, user-friendly is a goal, and of course, it must include technology.
ESMS is no different. My role is to make this a more user-friendly environment where technological tools are available. First, we have changed from a library to a learning commons. If you have been to ESMS Learning Commons lately, you will notice that in the last 4 years, the space has had a drastic facelift. The shelving in the middle of the floor has been removed. The seating is undergoing changes as well. The wooden tables and chairs have been replaced with rolling desks, soft-seated chairs, bean bags, and folding workstations. We have small rooms for those that still need a quiet space to test or film. Room 121 has become a part of our space and is currently a Makerspace area. This space includes a workstation with shelving that holds everything imaginable to desktop computers surrounding the workstation to Makey Makeys and Spheros. Our space is about flexibility and learning. Students are digital citizens who collaborate, create and solve authentic problems. Our learning space is being redesigned to support that pedagogical shift.
My role has changed from shelving and ordering hardback books to establishing and facilitating a space that provides opportunity for growth to lifelong learners. While I still order hardback books for students, there is a far greater focus on ordering eBooks and digital materials to support mastery of the Missouri Learning Standards. I focus on providing materials and spaces to foster critical thinking skills and an appreciation for the lifelong acquisition and application of knowledge. Differentiating learning is the key to making this space successful, because there are so many different learning styles that students are using in the 21st century. I must also practice my lifelong learning skills by completing Professional Development opportunities that help me with my ever-changing role as Library Media Specialist.
My suggestion to you, if you have not been to ESMS Learning Commons lately, stop by and see what is happening here!

Published by Philippe Herlin | May 3, 2018 | Articles
As stated by La Tribune, "Emmanuel Macron wishes the implementation of the European Banking Union – a system for joint management of bank failures – to be finalised as soon as possible in order to draw lessons from the Euro zone's debt crisis." Well, alright, but why is it so urgent? Is the French President aware of any disturbing report on the French banks? In any case, too bad for him, because Angela Merkel has repeatedly stated that "her country was against one of the pillars of the project, that is the creation of a European fund to guarantee personal deposits," the paper goes on.
To make things perfectly clear, an expert from Merkel's party said that, "we do not want German depositors in the position of bailing out Greek or Italian banks." He could have added, with a little less diplomacy, the French banks as well. We'll just have to rely on our own little biceps, that is the Fonds de garantie des dépôts et de résolution (FGDR), a guarantee fund for deposits, created in 1999 to compensate depositors in case of bankruptcy. This fund is supposed to guarantee bank accounts up to €100,000 per depositor and per bank.
Really? Let's take a closer look. As a page from the FGDR website details, the French banking system comprises 7.927 Trillion euro in assets, of which 2.723 Trillion euro in private deposits, whereas this other page explains the FDGR has 3.5 Billion euro in equity for fulfilling its missions, or 1 euro in guarantee for 2 264 euro in assets, or for 778 euro in deposit – a ridiculous ratio should a banking crisis occur, proving that the 100 000 euro guarantee is but an illusion. This helps in understanding President Macron's eagerness in having a European bailout fund, but he has been told "nein".
It goes without saying that all deposits will be impacted by a serious banking crisis – even the smallest ones - as we had shown with the BRRD directive, which makes it legal to use depositors' accounts. As far as life insurance, it can be blocked with the Sapin 2 law.
The solution is not with a hypothetical guarantee fund covering the whole of Europe – it will always be too small in case of a financial crisis – and this kind of regrouping actually takes responsibility away from bankers and political leaders. On the contrary, what we need is more responsibility at all levels – we have to forgo this "too big to fail" mentality and separate banking deposits from investment banking activities, be more transparent on derivatives and increase equity. Is this where we're going? Not at all. The consequences are clear: it's up to each depositor to get his own guarantee, or insurance, and not rely on the State's guarantee, above all. The best insurance fund, as we know, consists of physical gold primarily, along with a few tangible assets and some crypto-currencies, for those who are familiar with them. The FGDR is just a politician's promise.

Totally got to kick it in Portland this weekend. It was cool to discover how close here and there is by air! A great trip for a weekend getaway to see friends, but I'm not sure I'd really plan a trip there were it not for the friends.
An awesome time was had by all! This is the first in a series of photobservations, a word I made up just now to describe this half-assed style of blogging.
In Portland, the soda cans come pre-shaken for you, so that they explode refreshingly all over you when you open them.

Here at Orlando Birthday Gram we understand that policies are necessary to keep things running smoothly.
You and all of our customers are very important to us
and we want you to be completely satisfied with our service Sometimes however, things happen beyond our control, therefore we need to have some rules in place.
Our Rules
We respectfully reserve the right to decline a delivery area that we feel may be unsafe for our critters or our flockers. We will contact you if this situation arises. This only happened once when the yard was fenced and there was 2 pit bulls in the yard growling at us.
Please do not remove any of our critters. If you need them taken down early, please give us a call and we'll gladly come and get them.
There are no refunds, this is a novelty gift.
We may place a small sign in the yard with our company name, phone number and web address. This sign is unobtrusive and lets the neighbors know where "they can get one" please do not move or hide it.
Do not, under any circumstances, let children play on or around our display or pull up any of our critters. Some of them may look like toys, but they are not. Let's keep your children safe!
We will not, under any circumstances, put up a "mean" display. We won't allow cruel jokes of any sort. Our business is to make people happy. That being said, please do not "re-arrange" the letters on our sign. The verbiage on all signs has to be agreed upon by us and you.
If the victim calls us and wants to know who flocked them, we will tell them, we don't like to play cruel games.
Keep in mind our signs are rentals. If any of our signs are missing or damages ie. marker or spray-paint, stepped on, driven over, scratched up. We will re quire the renter to pay for the damages by replacement. Signs vary in cost from $25 each to a large sign of $300+. So Just play nice and don't be mean. We have NEVER had to charge anyone, please let's keep them nice for the next birthday.
We do our best to set up and not get caught either during the day or at night after dark. If we get caught they are still surprised and we will be like, "are you (so n so) well Happy Birthday etc." we are setting up a Birthday surprise for you! ♥ no refunds....

Please make sure the address is correct before calling us.
We will repeat the order back to you in full before we hang up the phone. Please pay attention and make sure we got it right.
If the "victim" wants the display removed promptly.
If we are not allowed access to a gated community.

I'm getting old,
I can't see as good at night when driving and I want to go to bed at night like a normal person.
Guests of honor are usually rushing
to get to work or school when they are leaving the house, so they barely get to enjoy their flocking. And they see it from the back side initially. But when they drive home to it, they see it from the front, in its entirety, and are coming home to "relax" and have time for pics and to enjoy it more. ♥
It's getting more and more dangerous
to deliver at night.
Many of my "FLOCKER" friends have quit because people they are "FLOCKING" or a neighbor have pulled a gun on them while making a delivery.
While many Flockers have also changed
to daytime deliveries and found that this works out better for everyone. Times are changing and we must make this change too.

I'm absolutely excited to say that I got to work with JCFlexFitness, to cover an old Mystery Science theater song! If you're an old fan of Mystery Science Theater, I think you would have fun watching this video. Also, JC is a very inspirational guy who rehabilitated himself and is now running a physical fitness YouTube channel, along with an interactive website. Check out his site and his YouTube channel. His latest video with my recording can be found here.

It may sound crazy, but after shooting those two weddings back to back, Devon and I decided to have Father's Day dinner with his family back in Raleigh and then we headed out to Cat's Cradle to see Twin Shadow perform.
I had seen them two years ago at a smaller show run by a college so I was not expecting to see this crazy, insane light show this time around. I really started seriously shooting photography five years ago (starting out only in concert photography) and I am fairly certain that this is, hands down, the most difficult show I have ever shot (even harder than Andrew WK)!. Not only did the lead singer/guitarist move a lot– it was pitch black most of the time with the most insane projections cast on them… I'm talking laser beams and stuff! The ones I have here are the ones I managed to get (the less crazy and more illuminated ones).
On my way to the show I was having so many doubts about whether or not I was making a mistake by going to this show. But as soon as I stepped into the venue and the lights went out, all of my doubt went away. Though it feels like I have no time, I have been reminding myself that I am only 24 and need make the most of my youth. I don't want to think about that one summer that I couldn't make it to shows or my friend's birthday parties because of my work load. I have all of my life to settle and "play adult". I need to embrace the life I have now!

Spireon announced a new FleetLocate Compliance solution designed to help fleets of all sizes comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) electronic logging device (ELD) mandate, which will take effect Dec. 18, 2017. Powered by Gorilla Safety, FleetLocate Compliance makes it easy for fleet managers to oversee driver hours in accordance with the new regulatory requirements, according to the company.
"Many ELD compliance solutions available today are complex and costly—making them difficult for small to mid-sized companies to implement," said Jason Penkethman, chief product officer at Spireon. "With FleetLocate Compliance, we can help these fleets comply with the ELD mandate, without breaking the bank or unnecessarily burdening managers' time. Our current FleetLocate customers will see the new Compliance capabilities fully integrated with their existing system, minimizing the disruptions and learning curve that a disparate ELD solution would introduce."
FleetLocate offers configuration options to accommodate mixed fleets of different vehicle types, such as trucks that need to track hours of service (HOS) and vans or cars that don't. FleetLocate can also utilize data from onboard telematics, such as GM OnStar, as well as sensor data from trailers, containers and other mobile assets, giving fleet managers complete visibility over their entire fleet with one simple, affordable application.
According to the company, managers can now monitor driver hours, including which drivers are currently on duty and how many hours each has left before violating HOS rules. The system also provides early warnings of potential violations in real time, so managers may adjust schedules as needed. Additionally, FleetLocate Compliance provides alerts on drivers who began a trip without completing the required vehicle inspections.
"Since the ELD mandate poses significant challenges to many small and mid-sized fleets, by partnering with Spireon, we can provide their customers with a simple yet comprehensive compliance solution that will meet the needs of its diverse customer base," said Mark Walton, co-founder and chief executive officer at Gorilla Safety. "Together, Gorilla Safety and Spireon are bringing a practical, accessible tool to these companies, allowing them to streamline their businesses, improve customer experiences and maximize driver retention by making compliance easy on drivers as well as fleet operators."
FleetLocate Compliance includes the FleetLocate Shift mobile app for drivers, providing a way to maintain record of duty logs and vehicle inspection reports from a smartphone, tablet or rugged handheld device. The app connects via Bluetooth to the new FleetLocate FL1 GPS tracking device for accurate mileage recording, and supports both LTE and HSPA wireless networks.
Spireon is hosting a webinar demonstrating FleetLocate Compliance on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. ET. Registration is open for those interested in attending the webinar.

4 Types Of Recliners To Consider
If you have decided that you want to purchase a recliner, you might want to take a little time to review the following four types of recliners. This way, you will be able to purchase the one that is best suited for your personal needs.
Rocker Recliners
This is probably one of the more popular recliners as it rocks and reclines. Many of these will also have the swivel option so that you can turn from one side to another. Of course, the rocker recliners that have the swivel option will cost a little more money. This is because of the added components in the chair.
Lift Chair Recliners
This is a type of chair that has a special mechanical component that allows the chair to be lifted up and at an angle so that the person sitting in the chair can have an easier time getting in and out f the chair. This helps many people who are aging or who are suffering from an injury that makes it difficult to get in and out of a chair on their own.
Wall Hugging Recliners
This is usually a great recliner for those who live in small homes or apartments. It will recline, but it is designed so that while being in the upright position, the chair hugs the wall in order to conserve space. This does usually mean that the back of the chair will sit straight up, which may or may not be comfortable for you depending on how you normally like to sit. Therefore, it is usually best to allow yourself to try out the wall hugging recliners in person so you can decide if it will be a good fit for your needs.
Massage Recliners
These tend to be a popular option since recliners are supposed to be all about comfort to begin with. The massage option just makes them that much more comfortable. Many of the massage chairs will have little massaging pads in just the right spots so that you can have your back and the back of your legs massaged. Some of them will even have an option for full body massages.
Now that you now a little more about the various types of recliners, you should have a much easier time figuring out which one is the best choice for your needs. All you have to do now is find a furniture store that sells your favorite type of reclining chair.

Like always the images are beautiful mashaALLAH just like you :). But to be honest I liked the back of the new image you created (the design of the fractal) very much. Keep up the good work, Gina. Take care. Bye.
Dr. Jameel Shaik, PhD (Biomedical Engineering)
Wow, beautiful and trippy!
Very nice!
I love the detail in her eye, and what a beautiful background!
Wonderful! Sort of a combo Metropolis meets The Age of Aquarius!
I love those two references! In fact I've been in love with Metropolis for as long as I can remember (although I'd wish for a better ending - but for the time it was, it was incredible). I used my computer to make a collage from various posters of the movie that hangs in my hallway (right next to my Feynman drawing). It's also been on my 'to do' list to make a 3D model of Maria : )
Phew! Wish I had eyes like that! LOVE the colours!!!!!!!!
Thanks turquoise! Your profile pic has some pretty cool eyes!
It is strange that the whole picture looks colourful, even if a lot of it is actually grey.
I hope your new version of the book cover will be as striking.
Thank you,
Thank you Marta, here's the final cover: http://maxanimation.blogspot.com/2007/08/book-covers-yes-another-one.html

Willamstown Garden Club joined by Barossa producer
Steve Zimmerman of Zimmy's Barossa Valley Produce was guest speaker at Williamstown Garden Club this month.
Members were told how the Zimmerman family recipes had been handed down within the family for generations and in 1985 Steve decided to share his family's traditional flavours with the community and so began the growth of his business.
He honours his grandparents who settled in the Barossa by having their likeness on his labels.
Horseradish sauce was the first product marketed and it is still being produced and sold today along with a varied range of other items.
Members further leaned how in addition to being great with meats and salads, horseradish has health benefits. It can help relieve sinuses, hayfever and colds in winter.
Mr Zimmerman talked about the links between food and health and explained that their products are naturally made, with no additives or preservatives.
He spoke enthusiastically about the health benefits of their product Doc Away, an apple cider and honey concentrate.
At the end of the talk members sampled some horseradish, beetroot, pickled onion and other tasty spreads.
Meanwhile, the plant of the month, wasabi, which members said they were having had trouble identifying, was provided by Connie.
Interestingly, wasabi is used with sushi but as it is difficult to obtain, so coloured horseradish is often substituted.
Competition winners were Eve for marmalade and Lexley for pickles.
Next month's competition is vegetables.
Birthdays for the month include Lesley, Tricia, Chris, Jenny and Kathie.
There's a change to the program for the next meeting, with the group being joined by a speaker from the Altona Landcare Group.
Visitors are always welcome and for enquiries, contact Pat on 0421 348 148.

You'll have to download a small program to use the interface, but it's easy to use, and you can take out a number of books at one time and read to your heart's content.
Voila! This is a wonderful way to supplement your French reading!
Learn a Language!
This year, we're excited to offer our patrons a whole host of new eResources through our online catalog, and one of our most exciting additions is Mango Languages! They've made it fun and easy to learn a new language, and we're making it simple for you to take advantage of it. All you need is your library card!
Visit our online catalog, click on the eResources link, and choose Mango Languages. All you'll need to do is sign in with your library card, and then choose a language you'd like to learn. Want to know some Spanish for the mid-winter holiday? Feel like expanding your knowledge for a someday trip? There are plenty of choices. (They even have Pirate-speak as something you can choose. Arrgggh, Mateys! This is great!)
The website is super fun and easy to use. Once you set up an account, they'll keep track of your lessons, where you've finished, and what you might want to work on next. Practice conversations based on activities you might participate in when visiting a particular country (you can learn all about Flamenco dancing while practicing the language in context, for example. They even include cute graphics to make you feel like you're there! The guitar-playing mango is particularly funny).
This resource would be great for students who might need some brushing up on their French skills, or for people new to our country. You can learn English, too! There are so many fun ways you can use Mango Languages. What's your favourite?
The Future of Language
Recently, in the December 2015 issue of Popular Science magazine, there was an amazingly interesting article by John McWhorter, a linguist at Columbia University. In the article, McWhorter talked about how languages are changing–and being lost–due to technological advances and the way cultures have so much access to each other now. It was an eye opening discussion, where McWhorter claimed that of the six or seven thousand languages in the world today, in the next 100 hundred years, that number will drop to about six or seven hundred. Wow.
More common languages will absorb the ones spoken in remote areas of the world, and instead of people needing to learn languages when they travel, McWhorter believes there will be instant-translation apps where people speak into their devices and the translation will be instantly communicated to listeners. That sure would make traveling a lot easier for people. But does it make us lazier?
You might think that the English language will become the dominant language spoken throughout the world, but this linguist claims it won't be…not exactly.
"It's going to be this weird language that originated from tribes drinking blood out of skulls somewhere in Denmark a very long time ago. That's what we're speaking now. The Chinese will be running the world, but they'll be doing it in English, simply because English [got there first]."
John McWhorter
The emergence of a simplistic texting language on our phones is evidence enough for McWhorter to believe that our languages will also be reduced to less formal, and more creative versions of what we know now. Will that translate into how people speak, also? It will be interesting to see if that's what happens.
To listen to more about this topic and the evolution of language, you might want to watch this fascinating TEDtalk by McWhorter from 2013.
Carmel vs. Caramel
I'm not going to say we have this conversation at work often because we eat a lot of candy, but is it pronounced "car-mel" or "caramel"? The debate is on, and it turns out, it depends on where you live!
This is a great website that strives to show how word pronunciation differs, even just across the US. This is just the carmel/caramel example. Have fun looking through the maps.
How Do You Pronounce That?
I come across words everyday that I'd probably mumble into my shirt if anyone asked me to say them out loud. Unless you happen to hear a word or a name you're unsure of, how else can you be sure of a pronunciation?
Forvo.com is a fabulous site that allows people to ask for a word or name they don't know how to pronounce, and someone will upload an audio file of that word so everyone can hear it. Isn't that amazing? There are words in other languages, words you might find in a dictionary, but also names and places that you might be reading about in far-off countries. Readers can vote on the pronunciations they think are most accurate, so there won't be any discrepancies because of local dialects etc.
Even if you're not struggling with a word right now, it's a fascinating site to peruse. You might even come away learning a thing or two!
Endangered Language
Most of us probably never think about the language we speak, unless we're visiting another country and find it difficult to communicate. But what if you spoke a language that had slowly died out with all of the people who ever knew it, until you were the only person who could still speak it?
Even worse…what if there was someone else who also knew the language, but refused to speak to you?
This isn't such an improbable scenario. In Mexico, for example, there are many indigenous languages that are slowly fading away as the population ages. One such language is called Ayapaneco—spoken in the town of Apaya, Mexico for generations. Unfortunately, the language is about to disappear as only two men still speak it…and they refuse to talk to each other. Linguists have stepped in and are trying to convince the men to converse with each other so that the vocabulary, diction and accent may be recorded and studied, in hopes of preserving it. But the men just don't seem to get along.
It's not clear why the men refuse to talk to each other…maybe a feud or maybe they just don't have a lot in common…but if no one is able to get them chatting, Ayapaneco is just one of many languages that will probably disappear in this generation. There are probably similar languages in the area, as is common with indigenous peoples, and linguists might be able to piece together some aspects in order to preserve parts of it. But it would be much easier if they had a little help, of course.
One might argue that the English language has evolved and changed so much through generations (and is still changing), that it might be hardly recognizable to someone who spoke it 500 years ago, let's say. The advent of computers and the use of spell check and short forms and the like has certainly changed the written form. Could massive changes to the spoken word be far behind? Could it be that someday, someone will be lamenting over the loss of English? It seems unlikely, I know, but it makes you stop and think about communication and language in a new way when you hear stories like this. You can read more on the story of the Mexican village and the men who are willing to let their language die out, right here.
Would YOU refuse to talk to someone if you were the only two people who knew a language?

Hey crew….
Just a heads up that Wodify is down and the workout won't be posted at 6pm as normal. I don't know when it will be back up but this means that I can't even do the weekly programming video.
Sorry for this but I can promise you that tomorrow will be fun anyway (aren't they all).

Get the Glory Days Tour to the USA
This petition had 805 supporters
Little Mix is a world renowned girl group. After being the first ever group to win the X Factor in 2011 they have achieved success worldwide. In May 2013, the group released their debut album in the United States, where it debuted at number four, becoming the highest debut from a British girl group in the US, beating a record previously held by the Spice Girls, who debuted at number six with their debut album Spice in 1996. They also have over 68 worldwide certifications, one of the many things in their list of successes. Their Get Weird tour in 2015-2016 earned them around $32,800,000. They went to many counties across the globe. A whopping 51 counties in Europe, 3 in Oceania, and 6 in Asia. Besides that they recently opened for the American leg of the Dangerous Woman Tour. Opening for Ariana Grande, who is one of the biggest pop stars in the business. Gaining them access to a younger as well as American fan base. The members of Little Mix have been quoted many times expressing their determination and goal to break the USA. Their 2016 album Glory Days peaked at #25 in the US billboard 200 which is an incredible feat. As of November 2015, Little Mix is the only girl group from the UK to have their first three albums debut in the top fifteen of said chart. Many of their Glory Days concerts have sold out already, leading Little Mix to include even more dates for the tour. I wanted to start this petition to prove to Little Mix and their team that there is a need and a want for a Glory Days Tour in America. They have amassed a ton of fans across the world and I know they have over hundreds of American fans who have waited years to see them live. I had the wonderful chance to see them open for Ariana Grande, I actually left after seeing them because I was only there for them. I connected to 10+ people who were all there only for Little Mix. It is practically a sin for Little Mix and their team to ignore their American fans. There is a demand for Little Mix to tour in America and now is the time to prove it. Please sign my petition and help me get such an influential girl group to the USA. They've changed countless lives and inspired people everywhere. Concerts are a source of happiness and are typically a person's best memory. The impact this tour would have would be tremendous. It means the world to see your inspirations live and I know first hand how life changing that is.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers. The good news is that CRC incidence and mortality can be reduced significantly if detected early enough.
Faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are non-invasive and can detect blood in stool invisible to the naked eye. Due to its simplicity, FIT is currently considered the best non-invasive test for CRC screening.
Invest a little time in your own health by taking the FIT to prevent or detect colon cancer early on.
For further information, please visit our 'FIT for screening' website www.fitscreening.eu/patients

On July 22, 2009, John Gabbert stared at the bank balance for his two-year old startup and took a screenshot. "We had $22,000 in the bank and we owed $100,000," Gabbert, CEO of PitchBook Data, told Business Insider. "I told myself, 'This is either the bottom or the end.'" The startup wasn't exactly living large. "For the first two and half years we worked in a 200 square foot internal office with no windows, and we got up to 7 people in there. It was ridiculous," he laughed. He had spent the first 20 months of the startup living away from his wife and two young kids to save money – they moved home to Seattle while he camped out at a friend's house in San Francisco and worked 80 to 100-hours a week. He kept tabs of his hours on a sticky note.
PitchBook Data offers a database of private equity and venture investments. It was an idea he had after working as a research analyst for nine years for a San Francisco company called Venture One. Venture One sold a database product that focused on venture capital. His customers kept asking for one that covered private equity, too.
"I was there through four owners," he said. The company ultimately wound up in the hands of Dow Jones, but "I could not get them to invest in new innovative products." [ Business Insider ]

With solar power being popular in some countries. I thought what would the problems be from using solar power for refrigeration. One thing I think would cause problems is the peak effect the refrigerator would consume when you put in new products. I wonder therefore if there is a way to reduce that demand. Maybe one way could be to maintain the cold in the product from the store.
A product I had in mind is a smart shopping bag on wheels that is also a cooling bag. This way you can buy a frozen food item which you later cook. Together with the cooling bag they will keep the temperature of the rest of the food down.
Maybe fresh food markets could increase their inventory. Also with unreliable electricity they could complement their demand with solar power that they together rent. Like M-KOPA for business.
