Relationships and marriage can be complicated and stressful, and addiction or alcoholism aren't always problems that are apparent at the beginning of a committed relationship. In some relationships, addiction is a problem that develops after months or years together, or the problem may have been there all along but your partner hid it from you.
It doesn't really matter what your partner is addicted to. Whether he or she is an alcoholic or is addicted to street drugs, prescriptions drugs or gambling, the nature of addiction usually leads to the same results. The addict is consumed with pursuing the drug of choice above all else. The drug matters more to him than you or your kids do.
You may barely recognize the person you fell in love with. If your partner once was a loving and supportive person who took care of the family, now he seems to have forgotten all about you. He may lie or sneak around. He may use bill money for drugs or alcohol, or steal from you. He may have mood swings or disappear for hours or days on end.
What do you do if you love an addict?
Avoid denial. Don't pretend that there isn't a problem. Face the fact that something is wrong so you can decide what you need to do next.
Learn about addiction. Addiction is an illness, and living with the disease of addiction requires that you understand what you're dealing with. Your loved one is probably not deliberately hurting you. He has lost himself to something that is bigger than he is.
Learn about codependency. The longer you live with addiction, the more likely that your own behavior has been affected. You may fly into a rage, have panic attacks or have difficulty controlling your emotions. You may obsess about what the addict is doing to the point that you can't focus on your own life or goals. Those who love addicts often develop a disorder themselves. It's called codependency. The more you know about this disorder, the more hope there is that you can learn new behaviors.
Participate in support groups. Even though you may feel like you're completely alone with your problems, that's far from the truth. There are many support groups where you can mingle with other people who truly understand what you're going through. Groups like Alanon will help you feel less isolated, and will help you learn how to live with the disease of addiction. If the addict is willing to go into recovery, attend open AA meetings when you can so that you can learn what is required for the addict to stay sober.
Avoid enabling behavior. One of the things that you need to learn is how to avoid enabling behavior. Enabling is doing things for the addict that allow him or her to continue addictive behavior without consequences. Examples include bailing the addict out of jail or calling his boss to make excuses. Although your partner's addiction isn't your fault, you may be contributing to the problem by helping him avoid facing the consequences of his actions.
Set a bottom line. When the addict or alcoholic isn't ready to get help, there is probably a negative impact on your life, which could include financial problems, physical or mental abuse or a sense of being neglected. Only you can decide when enough is enough and you can't take it anymore. Set a bottom line, a time or place that you won't compromise, and stick to it.
Take care of you. Whether or not the addict goes into recovery, and whether or not you decide to remain in the relationship, the most important thing you need to learn is to take care of you. You didn't cause the problem with addiction, you can't control it and you can't cure it. But what you can do is keep the focus on yourself and work on your own behavior and your own reactions. Self-care will give you the strength to leave the relationship if you have to, or stay strong through the bad times so that things may eventually work themselves out.

I know I jump about a bit on my subject matter,labelling, but this old chestnut has not been brought up lately, and I cannot for the life of me see that it has changed much since it was first aired.
Take the down turn in the price of beef cattle just recently, and what do you find in Tesco mingled in with the British beef, imported joints with almost identical packaging with no (very small) Union Jack. ???
British food grown and packed
Food comes in from around the globe, then packed and labelled here,
All put into bubble packs, then
Britain gets a cheer,
Stick on the labels, printed here, a union jack the lot,
It's only the packaging, but the contents they are not.
Packaging's the thing right now, it's wrapped and wrapped again,
Keep the food clean and fresh, or that is what they claim,
Bin through many hands, and machines to wrap and pack,
Getting older by the minute, a use-by date on pack will slap.
Everything is carried about and often back again,
Out to distribution centres, finding jobs for men,
Wear and tear on tyres and roads, burning up the miles,
Costs all added onto their goods, customer pays up and smiles.
British food grown and packed, genuine through and through,
A clear label telling us, so we know on what we chew,
Local grown just down the road, fresh as the morning dew,
We need to know, it's only fair, right now we haven't a clue.

Over the years, there is a growth in the number of employers having difficulty in filling positions. Manpower Group's annual Talent Shortage Survey has been a witness to the alarming trend. In the previous year, 2014 was considered to have the highest percentage with 36% since the year 2007's increase to 41%. This 2015, the data collected resulted to a 2-percent rise (38%) which is now the highest percentage since 2007. No change is seen, however, in the percentage of employers (54%) who say talent shortage impacts their ability to serve clients, yet more than 1 in 5 employers is not pursuing any strategies to address talent shortages.
As if the previous data isn't worrisome enough for organizations, the ongoing War for Talent is getting even more intense. Competing organizations are more aggressive, prioritizing strategies on how to acquire, develop, and retain skilled professionals – knowing that talent is a big factor in an organization's success.
With the possibility of the current situation to continue on or get worse, organizations should be ready to make changes to prepare them ahead of the challenges. Here are some tips to consider when creating strategies in facing the talent war:
(RELATED: Certification course on talent management to bring better strategies to face talent shortage)
Develop your own by you, for you.
Organizations still prioritize searching outside their own walls for talent. While this may seem as the easy solution, we should be reminded about the shrinking talent pool. The best place to find workers who could create a positive difference in the company is in the company itself. Their strengths and weaknesses are already identified which gives you an idea on how to build them on further, creating a strong workforce that are surely aligned to your organization's goals. Aside from that, developing internally also increases employee productivity and retention rate.
Take off your blinders.
Don't be a slave to a position description. The "perfect" candidate is like Bigfoot – it is a myth. When looking for talent outside, stay open-minded and flexible. Be reminded that the key to finding great talent is to focus on how motivated they are to grow and reinvent themselves, not just their hard skills. These are the type of workers you can work with who're willing to develop alongside your organization.
Maintain great culture in your organization.
To quote Peter Drucker, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast". How people interact and get things done at work has a huge impact in keeping talent and an organization's success. Aside from a competitive set of salary and benefits, a strong workplace culture attracts and retains employees. Creating an environment where people can form healthy relationships, enjoy each other's company, and take pride in their work motivates employees to do their best and convince future hires to want to work for you.
Achieving success is easy with the right set of people on the job. Despite talent shortage, great talent is just around the corner, or maybe even in your very own walls. What's important is to recognize a person's potential and create opportunities for development to lead your organization to the top.
Create a stronger strategic orientation to the boardroom and build a bridge between the changing needs of global business and an increasingly fluid labor force with the help of Salvo's Certified Talent Economist Program. Due to popular demand, the course will run in 5 different countries, namely Malaysia, Nigeria, South Africa, UAE, and Singapore.

|Condition or disease
|Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent
|Device: The GlucoWatch® G2™ Biographer (GW2B) Device: The Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS™)
|Phase 4
Intensive control of blood glucose levels has been shown to substantially prevent or delay complications of T1DM in adolescents and adults. The major limitation to implementation of intensive glycemic control is hypoglycemia. Younger children may be at increased risk for hypoglycemia and the risk/benefit ratio of intensive glycemic control may be less favorable in this population. Intensive therapy has not been systematically evaluated in children less than 13 years of age. This study was conducted by the Diabetes Research in Children Network (DirecNet) to assess the accuracy of the CGMS and the GW2B glucose monitors in comparison with standard blood glucose measurements in an inpatient setting.
During 24-hour clinical research center stays at five clinical centers, approximately 90 children and adolescents with T1DM (1 to 17 years of age) wore two FDA-approved continuous glucose monitors, CGMS and GW2B, and had frequent serum glucose determinations during the day and night. To assess glucose monitor function during periods of rising and falling blood glucose, insulin-induced hypoglycemia and meal-induced hyperglycemia tests were also performed.

Nottingham Congress update (23rd Mar)
Updated message from Robert Richmond
The entrance to the High School car park is from Forest Road East. The eastern end of Forest Road East at the junction with Mansfield Road (A60) is blocked for roadworks. The junction is at the top of the hill and is controlled by traffic lights. Coming from the South up Mansfield Road the turn into Forest Road East is on your left and St.Andrews church on your right. Vice versa coming from the north.
Competitors coming from the North on the A60 and from the South and East via Trent Bridge will be affected. Those coming from the M1 will not.
Coming from the North you should continue past the blocked right hand turn, take the first right into Chatham Street, and then right again into North Sherwood Street. This brings you back to Forest Road East beyond the roadworks.
Coming from Trent Bridge follow the signs to Mansfield (A60). This eventually brings you onto Huntingdon Street, which merges into Mansfield Road at an awkward uphill junction controlled by traffic lights. The Forest Road East junction is about 50 yards further on. Carry on down the hill, do a U-turn at the roundabout and then proceed as if coming from the North in the paragraph above.
There is a quicker route. The entrance to Huntingdon Street is a left hand turn from Glasshouse Street. At the second traffic lights turn left into Bluecoat Street (right is the B684 Woodborough Road), immediately cross over Mansfield Road and then right into North Sherwood Street.

I can't take the credit for this DIY... It's another one of Mum's clever projects! She has let me share it with all of you though :) It's a really simple and stylish frame to display earrings. There are lots of different versions of these floating about on Pinterest too if you are feeling inspired!
You will need: A photo frame (any size you like), some mesh - this rubber stuff comes in a roll from Ikea and works really well, backing paper.
1// Measure and cut a piece of mesh and backing paper to the size of your frame.
2// Dismantle the frame and discard the plastic/glass front - you won't need it!
3// Stretch the mesh inside the frame on top of the backing paper.
4// Reassemble the frame and use the holes in the mesh to hold your earrings. Place where everyone can see and admire your clever handiwork.
And that's it! Thanks Mum - isn't she clever?

CIP4 and Ryerson Announce JDF 101 Education Event
Monday, November 17, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyToronto, ON (November 14, 2008) - The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4) organization and Ryerson University announced a free "JDF Education Event" to be held at Ryerson University in Toronto on Thursday, 19 February 2009.
This one-day program will covers all aspects of print process automation, CIP4 and the Job Definition Format (JDF), and is hosted by Ryerson University's School of Graphic Communications Management. This JDF 101 Education Event was "sold out" in 2007, and 2008 and is back by popular demand. "This year a room full of printers and print buyers will learn a lot about JDF and see a live demonstration staged by Ryerson with their equipment," says CIP4 executive director James Harvey, "but for me the best part will be the real-world questions and the relevant discussions. Printers who strive to maximize production efficiency, but have questions and find it difficult to get answers should not miss the 2009 event." Speakers will identify the benefits of JDF-enabled process automation experienced by small and medium sized commercial offset and digital printers, and will provide an introduction to how JDF works and its function in the modern printing plant. Speakers include:
* Dr Mark Bohan, Vice President of Research and Technology at PIA/GATF
* Patrick Bolan and Josh Perkins of Avanti Computer Systems
* James Harvey, Executive Director of CIP4 Organization
* Lesley Hepditch, Workflow Specialist at Agfa Inc., Canada
* James Lockman, Adobe Certified Print Specialist at Adobe Systems
* Peter Aston of Heidelberg Canada, Toronto
* Nick Benkovich of Kodak Graphic Communications, Vancouver
* Jason Lisi, Thomas Sprinzing, and Dr Abhay Sharma of Ryerson University, Toronto
The JDF specification is intended to enable the entire industry, including designers, publishers, printing and graphic arts companies and others to work with software and systems from different manufacturers in an integrated workflow facilitated by a common data interchange syntax.
This event is sponsored by Adobe, AGFA, Avanti, Heidelberg and Kodak, and is intended for senior management, middle management, workflow consultants and prepress professionals of small and medium-size printing companies. Each attendee will receive a free copy of the MIS Guide for Managers and the BRIDG's JDF Guide for Managers.
"Profitable printing companies will learn ways to improve profitability and to create printing workflows that are fast and reliable enough to compete with electronic and broadcast media," said Mark Wilton. "Just as important, printers who have struggled with profitability will learn about ways to turn the corner and compete more profitably."
The JDF 101 Education Event has a nominal charge of $50 for the general public and $25 for students/educators. For registration and complete program details go to http://ryersonjdf.eventbrite.com/. For questions about the program contact Abhay Sharma of Ryerson University via email at email@example.com.

Most Ontarians agree that New Year's gives us a chance to shed bad habits in favour of better ones – but not for Patrick Brown.
While we hoped his New Year's resolution would be to stop misleading Ontarians, old habits die hard and Brown was back to his usual tricks during an interview with AM980 in London yesterday. He discussed his campaign document that contains over $12B in cuts from essential services that people depend on, like health care and education, while offering a tax cut much smaller than promised.
That small cut would be financed by a new tax on items like gas and home heating, driving up families' everyday expenses. His plan to cut essential services doesn't make any sense, and it will make everyone in this province worse off as a result.
Despite the setback, the year is still young, giving Patrick Brown plenty of time to remember that Facts Still Matter in Ontario.
Patrick Brown claimed: "You know, the average Ontarian over the last 15 years has become poorer than the average Canadian"
Fact: Average weekly earnings in Ontario are higher than the rest of Canada and up 34% since 2003. Also – we already know that Patrick Brown is going to roll-back our increase to minimum wage. Delaying a minimum wage increase is the same as denying one and Patrick Brown would need to introduce legislation to roll-back a $15 minimum wage coming into effect in 2019. His party also voted against increasing the minimum wage this year.
(Source: http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/cansim/a47)
Patrick Brown claimed: "You can get a 75-percent refund of your childcare expenses under the People's Guarantee"
Fact: Experts have already weighed into this, and have said that even the lowest-income families won't get anywhere near 75 per cent of their child care-costs covered under this scheme.
(Source: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/11/29/pc-child-care-numbers-dont-add-up-critics-say.html)
Patrick Brown claimed: "I believe the PC party took the responsible approach to this saying that we're going to support a $15 minimum wage"
Fact: The PCs voted against our Fair Workplaces and Better Jobs Act, saying no to phasing in a $15 minimum wage over 18 months, ensuring equal pay for equal work, introducing personal emergency leave days for every worker, two of which are paid, and ensuring three weeks' vacation after five years with the same employer.
(Source: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/house-proceedings/house_detail.do?Date=2017-11-22&Parl=41&Sess=2&locale=en#para727)
Patrick Brown claimed: "[Our minimum wage] will be introduced over four years"
Fact: Delaying a minimum wage increase is the same as denying one and Patrick Brown would need to introduce legislation to roll-back a $15 minimum wage coming into effect in 2019. His party also voted against increasing the minimum wage this year.
(Source: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2017/11/20/time-for-ontarios-conservatives-to-spell-out-where-they-stand-editorial.html)
Patrick Brown claimed: "And that's why a lot of the aspects of my policy platform are about relief for families"
Fact: On page 76 of Patrick Brown's campaign document, he outlines $12.275 billion in cuts to programs and services that will hurt Ontario families. What he continues to forget, is that this includes over $6 billion in cuts to carbon market revenues that have already been earmarked for crucial capital improvements to hospitals, schools, social housing and more. And that's only for the cuts we already know he's making.
We're balancing the budget this year and in the years that follow, and at the same time our government has the lowest per capita program spending in the country.

Gotta give CRAZY AWESOMESAUCE PROPS to this send. My buddy said Ashley is super short and sent this entirely direct without using the left crack and side wall.

|Professor's new book explores 'Citizen' Welles
November 27, 2006
In his new book, Assistant Professor of Cinema Joseph McBride contends that filmmaker Orson Welles' final 15 years were among his most creative and innovative. McBride wants to reverse the common belief that the "Citizen Kane" filmmaker's later years were marked only by debauchery and commercial endorsements.
In "What Ever Happened to Orson Welles? A Portrait of an Independent Career" (University Press of Kentucky), McBride reveals little-known facts on the House Un-American Activities Committee's blacklisting, which kept Welles out of Hollywood for decades. McBride also explores the director's lesser-known films -- many never released. The book is a deeply personal portrait of a misunderstood man taken for granted.
Martin Scorsese, in a quote that appears on the book's jacket, said: "Joseph McBride, who has a clearer understanding of Welles and his films than almost anyone … brings Welles and the difficulties he faced -- professional, political, personal -- into extremely sharp focus and leaves us with a portrait of a fiercely independent artist who wanted to work with his camera and film stock as freely as a painter with his brushes and canvas. This is an extremely important book."
McBride said Welles may have set the bar too high for his own good with "Citizen Kane," widely regarded as the best film ever made. After the 1941 classic, such Welles films as "MacBeth" and "Lady in Shanghai" were critical and box-office failures. "Part of his problem was he was 20 to 25 years ahead of his time," McBride said.
"Despite all the difficulties Welles faced, his old age was far from being a tragic wasteland," McBride writes in the book's introduction. "It was a period of great artistic fecundity and daring, even if it was largely hidden from public view."
Some only know Welles and his deep voice from his 1970s television commercials for such products as Paul Masson wine ("We will sell no wine before its time"). He also did a great deal of voiceover work in his final years, in such cult classics as "History of the World, Part I" and "The Transformers: The Movie."
"When Welles died [in 1985], he was at a low ebb in American society," said McBride, who has seen "Citizen Kane" about 85 times and once retyped its entire screenplay when studying Welles' work. "He was derided in his later years. People didn't realize he was making independent films, breaking new ground and doing innovative work."
In 1970, Welles began work on "The Other Side of the Wind," a Hollywood satire starring John Huston, Dennis Hopper and Mercedes McCambridge. At the time, McBride was a 23-year-old ambitious film scholar, journalist and fledgling screenwriter. A chance phone conversation with Welles led to a role as an overzealous, pretentious film critic in "The Other Side of the Wind."
McBride, who had no acting training, said the all-star cast was very helpful and friendly, but Welles "bullied me mercilessly."
"Every actor he handled differently," McBride said. "He was a master psychologist and could bring out the best."
McBride believes Welles wanted him to serve as an historian, in addition to actor, for "The Other Side of the Wind."
"Welles would offer context or commentaries on scenes he was shooting, almost as if we were doing a running interview about the film," McBride said. "Being around Welles was to watch a long-running, gloriously entertaining theatrical show, filled with brilliant conversation, humor and insight."
Welles never finished "The Other Side of the Wind" after six years of on-and-off production, but now filmmakers and producers are planning to complete it -- as with the overlooked gems "Chimes at Midnight" and "F is For Fake."
McBride's new book is his third on Welles and 15th overall. He has written biographies of John Ford and Steven Spielberg as well as "The Book of Movie Lists." McBride, who joined SF State in 2002, is a former Variety film critic and CNN commentator. He co-wrote the 1979 comedy "Rock 'n' Roll High School" and garnered Emmy Award nominations for co-writing American Film Institute tributes to Lillian Gish and Fred Astaire.

And sometimes titles are improved...I've always thought that "Off on a
Comet" and "In Search of the Castaways" were far superior to the
originals--and that "Clipper of the Clouds" at least gives "Robur the
Conqueror" a run for its money!

Mariaville, N.Y. – In the peak of New York's summer heat, 20,000 EDM fans make the trek to Mariaville—quaint lake town in upstate New York—to experience Camp Bisco this past July 11-13. The four-stage music festival offered big-room house, jam bands, rappers and trappers. Known for its rural camping environment and all-night partying, the grounds were decorated with a Ferris wheel, vendors, and live art.
It was another stop on America's Best DJ Summer Tour Presented by Pioneer DJ & DJ Times, boasting 10 nominees on the bill.
Celebrating its 12th year, Camp Bisco is put on by the Disco Biscuits who play multiple times daily. The audience was split between die-hard Biscuits fans and music lovers on the complete opposite end of the spectrum—some too young to even be familiar with the Biscuits cult following. A diverse lineup of old-school favorites, new kids on the scene, international legends, and surprise performances caused the festival to quickly sell out. Unlike previous years, the layout of the festival changed so that both main stages and tents were closer together, providing a more convenient and intimate environment. Including the ABDJ nominees (Bassnectar, Baauer, Crizzly, Designer Drugs, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus, Paper Diamond, RL Grime, Seven Lions, and Wolfgang Gartner), the three-day event boasted talent from We Did It, OWSLA Records, Boys Noize Records, Dim Mak and more.
Bassnectar, the king of making our ears ring, drew a huge crowd of bass heads for a wild, memorable set of original tracks sprinkled with remixes. Boys Noize surprised die-hard house fans when he traded his usually electro pounding sound for hi-hat-heavy trap beats.
Pulling his usual Jekyll-&-Hyde maneuver, RL Grime/Clockwork shared his official hip-hop remixes and collaborations with friends on Thursday and switched to big-room traditional electro house to the very different Clockwork crowd, while being joined onstage by friends and frequent collaborators, Baauer, Samo Sound Boy, and Ryan Hemsworth.
Los Angeles-based label Body High's Samo Sound Boy played deep house to an intimate low-key crowd who arrived early to see his basement vibe in an outdoor festival setting. Part live band, part electronic experiment, Dan Deacon was joined onstage by two drummers during his equally bizarre and entertaining set. Sex Cult Records frontmen Designer Drugs alternated between the original dark electronic that put them on the map with a younger dubstep sound.
Crizzly, Grand Theft, and Heroes X Villians all got the entire crowd wild by playing radio hip hop edits. French bro troupe Dirtyphonics helped close out the final night, keeping the sweaty and muddy crowd going with house bangers from fellow Dim Mak and international artists.
Camp Bisco continues to attract festival lovers from all over with its combination of impressive bookings, while maintaining its underground feeling in a beautiful environment. The three-day camp-out continues to prove itself as a New York Summer staple.

Islamabad: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has given a property magnate a clean chit in a suspected tax evasion of Rs.119.4 billion (over $1.185 bn) while dismissing the report submitted by a Supreme Court-constituted investigating commission in the Arsalan Iftikhar case, the Dawn reported.
A Suddle Commission had been formed by the Supreme Court to probe an alleged Rs.342 million business deal between property magnate Malik Riaz Hussain and Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The commission had indicted Hussain in a colossal tax evasion that amounted to Rs.119.4 billion, and proposed in its interim report that a penalty for concealment of assets in wealth statements filed with income tax returns be enforced on the property tycoon.
Accepting Hussain's representation, President Zardari dismissed the much questioned Dec 4, 2012 decision made by the federal tax ombudsman (FTO), the daily reported citing reports containing references to official Presidency documents.
The documents also stated that a joint representation questioning a suo motu order passed by the FTO had been filed by Hussain and the principal officer of Bahria Town (Pvt.) Ltd.
This was concurrently corroborated by the presidential order, which suggested that the representation had indeed been filed.
The notice and the representation explained that the suo motu case concerning an alleged business deal between Hussain and Arsalan Iftikhar - an attempt to influence the judicial process - was disposed of by the Supreme Court June 14, 2012.
The attorney general of Pakistan was subsequently directed to set the state machinery in motion in order to ensure that "all those who may have committed any illegal acts, including Malik Riaz, Dr Arsalan Iftikhar and Salman Ali Khan, are pursued and brought to book with full force and rigour of the law".

Quick Reference
Italian family who achieved prominence with the election of Maffeo (1568–1644) as Pope Urban VIII in 1623 and ranked among the chief art patrons in 17th-century Rome. Urban's favourite artist was Bernini, from whom he commissioned two great works in St Peter's—the statue of St Longinus and the baldacchino over the high altar. Some of the enormous quantity of bronze required for the baldacchino was taken from metal stripped from the Pantheon (the only ancient Roman building that had survived more or less intact), giving rise to the adage 'Quod non fecerunt barbari, fecerunt Barberini' (What the barbarians failed to do, the Barberini did). Urban used most of the metal to cast cannon for the Castel Sant' Angelo, saying it was more important to defend the pope than to keep rain out of the Pantheon. Apart from Urban, the most important member of the family was his nephew Cardinal FrancescoBarberini (1597–1679), who was Poussin's first important patron in Rome. The Barberini also employed Pietro da Cortona, Romanelli, Andrea Sacchi, and others in the decoration of the family palace and of St Peter's. The Palazzo Barberini, in the design of which Bernini and two other outstanding contemporary architects—Carlo Maderno and Francesco Borromini—all played parts, now houses part of the Galleria Nazionale.

Can this adapter connect the new LG 5k ultrafine diplay to a Mac Pro 2013 ? Thx.
2 Answers from the Community
Yes, but only at 4K, according to the document HT207448 "Use the LG UltraFine 5K Display with your Mac" on Apple's support website.
This is because 5K @ 60 Hz requires more than the 20 Gbps of Thunderbolt 2.
To get 5K, you could use an externally powered GC-ALPINE RIDGE card, using a PCIe slot adapter (riser) and power supply. The IT-GO "ADP-099-31" works well, and includes an enclosure. You may need to buy a separate power supply. With some other PCIe risers, DisplayPort conversion might not start unless the riser is connected to a computer's PCIe slot (PCIe, mPCIe, ExpressCard, NVME, etc). Even with a connection to a PCIe slot, the card will not transmit PCIe data which is needed for the other features of the display (USB controller for USB ports, audio, camera, brightness controls, etc.). Brightness control may be achieved through DDC/CI though with an app or command line.
Nvidia drivers in macOS do not well support MST displays. There is a boot variable that needs to be set. The workarounds for the Dell 5K display (reconnecting cables or cycling power) may not work with the LG 5K display. There is an issue with the cursor often being different between the left and right side of the screen. But your Mac Pro 2013 has AMD graphics so it won't have those problems.
The price of the PCIe card, PCIe riser, power supply, and loss of features may not be worth the trouble.

In this latest package, Dave packed quite a punch with just eight cards! Kicking things off we've got a set that is very foreign to me, 2013-14 Panini Titanium. I don't do a good job of keeping up with new releases each season to begin with, and on top of that I think I recall reading somewhere that this set was released in Canada only.
Now normally a card serial-numbered to /10 of a 600-goal-plus HOF lock would be the highlight of any package hands down, but in this case Dave included a card that surpassed even this great Iginla in my opinion. Check it out:
It made such an impression on me that I spent some time combing around the web to see if I could land any others "on the cheap". Unfortunately, I found that these are quite rare at one per 112 hobby packs! As such, they command a pretty penny. It's doubtful that I'll be adding any others given what they sell for on the secondary market, but that just makes the fact that Dave went out of his way to send me this one even more impressive!
As I said above, I'm really working at curtailing my hobby spending in 2016, but after a delivery like this it's clear I'm going to have to find something cool to send back. Thank you so much for the great cards Dave!!!

Back to school
This picture has nothing to do with back to school, except, maybe, for the converses in them with the bright orange and black polka dotted shoe laces - our pre-teen's favorite footwear at the moment. M. started middle school on Monday and little H. - I should stop using the word little when I refer to her - started third grade. The changes for M. are drastic - her time table looks more like a piece of modern art. If it weren't for the green in it, Mondriaan would have been jealous [Mondriaan hated green apparently, we learned at Tate Modern, a couple of weeks ago]. We posted a copy on our front door and it will take us a while to get used to the different starting and ending times, and the week A and week B rythm. For little H., things have changed too - Wednesday mornings have been reintroduced and she ends at 3 in the afternoon instead of 4:15, which is really early if you ask me. But in general things look good. M. probably would have liked to be with more of her friends in class, but she seems overall happy and excited. H. literally got everything she wished for - could that be the shamrock she found in London?
For me this week has been busy too, so no time for crafts unfortunately, unless you count covering books in. And I don't think anyone is interested in a 'How to cover books' tutorial, either. But I'm sure things will get better soon. Especially, when I get myself that new sewing machine I've set my mind upon...
To be continued...
PS: About the picture - it was taken at the Watou exhibit, in Belgium. 200 pairs of ceramic boots aligned in a room. (Natasja Lefevre: Hoop, 2010). We really loved this display. M.'s favorite Converses somehow ended up in the picture...

Would highly recommend Mindi she's such a sweet person and my dog Kippy fit right in, I love the pictures that I got during the day, I felt comfortable leaving her there this was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone other then the vet. I will defiantly request her again
This was my first Rover experience and was nervous leaving our puppy for a few days. MindiMeira was absolutely phenomenal! I received daily updates and pictures during the stay. And flexible drop off and pick up times. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for taking care of my pup!
What a great dog sitter! The whole time I felt that MindiMeira was watching my fur baby and treating him with love like I would. She sent me lots of pictures to put my heart at ease and her dog cookie is the sweetest little thing. I highly recommend her if you want your dog to have a great time and be treated and loved like you!

We just finished up January with record rainfall and we're currently seeing record-high January water levels in the swamp.
We received 12.9 inches of rainfall in January 2016, beating our previous record of 8.6 inches that was set back in 1991. We typically receive about 2.5 inches of rainfall in January and only a total of 20 inches from October and May.
As of January 31st, the staff gauge in our Lettuce Lake is at 3.3 feet which is about an inch higher than the highest water level we saw this hydrologic year (our peak this year was on 9/30/2015). Since 2000, our average annual maximum water level has been about 3.4 feet, so we're very close to our typical wet season high water level. We're currently setting the all-time high record for daily water depth in the swamp.
So what does this mean for Wood Storks? This time of year Wood Storks are counting on water levels receding so they can feed in pools of concentrated aquatic prey (primarily small fish and crayfish). Right now, because water levels are so high, prey densities are quite low which makes foraging more challenging for wading birds, particularly the tactile feeders (Wood Storks, Roseate Spoonbills, White and Glossy Ibis).
Our research team continues to monitor hydrology and wading birds in our swamp and to use the data to better understand relationships between hydrology, aquatic prey, and wading bird populations.

Who doesn't love to sleep? Most of us just can't get enough of this wonderful state, and beauty blogger Wengie is no different. She proudly declares in her blogposts and videos that it's one of her very favorite things to do.
But at the same time, she admits her sleep love affair, she also allows that she doesn't always drift off as easily or quickly as she would like. To combat this frustrating problem, she has compiled 20 hacks that help her fall asleep fast, and she's shared them in her recent video, How to Fall Asleep FAST! 20 Life Hacks for Sleep Everyone Should Know!!.
Several of her hacks are the hints and tips are the same ones we've all heard and read numerous times in other articles, blogposts and videos. It's smart of her to repeat them here though, because while we've all heard them before, we're likely to have nodded in agreement and then failed to implement them:
- Use white noise
- Use essential oils like jasmine
- Lower bedroom temperature to 65°F/18°C
- Relax your body one muscle group at a time
- Take a hot bath or shower before bed
- No electronics 30 minutes before bed
- Your bed is only for sleep and…..well, you know
- Stroke your pet
- Massage and aromatherapy
- Prepare for bed at a specified time
Several of the suggestions Wengie shares are less common, but very interesting and may even sound downright strange. When you're struggling to fall asleep, trying one or two of them may be worth a shot. After all, you never know what might be the trick that works for you.
Watch Wengie's YouTube video for the details, but in the meantime, you may be enticed by these hints:
- Honey
- Third eye
- Tart cherries
- Blink fast
- Oatmeal
- Legs up the wall
- Lie still
- In four, hold seven, out eight
- and more…
Enjoy the video of Wengie and her adorable cats demonstrating these hacks. Hopefully, you'll find some good ideas. Sleep well!
