Two Irish American men were in the top five landowners in the United States. John Malone was listed as number one and Brad Kelley was listed as number four in the Land Report 100.
Both Irish Americans have invested in large tracts of land after making their fortunes in other industries.They likewise both have invested in cattle ranches within their land holdings.
Malone is a cable tycoon and owns 2.2 million acres between Wyoming and Maine. A highlight is a 290,100 acre cattle ranch called Bell Rance.
Kelley made his fortune from discount cigarettes and owns about 1.5 million acres, much of which is used for cattle ranching. Kelley is known as a bit of a reclusive billionaire and drives a pick-up truck.
Land has become an attractive asset because land prices are rebounding. Many people are looking for tangible assets after the market drop in 2008. Dennis Moon, managing director and head of specialty asset management at U.S. Trust, a division of Bank of America, said an important incentive to buy land is production. Products may range from timber, beef, or crops and recreation, such as hunting or fishing, adds value to the land.
Moon told CNBC, "There's a lot more interest in land. Way back when, owning a lot of land meant you were among the wealthiest individuals in the United States. We're kind of seeing a return to that."
The people of America are not the only ones turning back to the land. The change comes around the same time as many young Irish are looking towards careers in farming and agriculture following the fall of the Celtic Tiger in recent years.

What is being done here is an attempt to present the how and why of some of the complications of Diabetes mellitus with the hope that patients and those who bear the burden of caring for them will understand one or two things that will give them grace and hope to persevere.
Young diabetic patients sometimes argue that, their parents or close relatives, smoked cigarettes, took as much alcohol as they could without developing any of the complications they see around. Reason is that God created us equal in the big sense of creation, but there are differences at levels too numerous to mention; it is important also to note that, the natural chemicals known as enzymes which speed up biochemical reactions in the body are not only inherited, but are also specific. Moreover, there are people with gene types , such that they ican drink two cartons of beer, or six bottles of Gin or Whisky with only minimal damage because thye have these enzymes that can very quickly neutralize the toxic degradation products of ethanol. The same goes for cigarettes and Ciga. So people have these specific enzymes that operate to reduce or prevent some people from going down with the twenty or more recognized diseases that can be caused by smoking. These enzymes in some individuals undergo changes in many ways(mutation). In a family of fat people for instance, one person may be thin and healthy because the enzyme responsible for transfer of cholesterol and lipids from the Liver and intestine to the tissues may have undergone changes. Even in Hiv/Aids, mutation in the Chemokine cellular receptors CCR5 and CXR4 which are required as coreceptors by the virus for successful infection explains why some people can have repeated receptive sexual intercourse with Hiv positive partners and remain seronegative
For chronic complications which may be classified as, vascular, or non vascular, micro vascular, when the small and tiny blood vessels are involved or macro vascular when the large blood vessels, arteries and veins are involved, patients tend seek medical help long after they have had the problem, as Doctors call it present late, and so what we see are combinations of these complications , and it becomes difficult to draw a clear line
Deposits of unutilized sugar forming complex molecules with proteins to generate Advanced Glycosylated End products (AGE) as has been discussed are largely responsible for most of the complications of diabetes mellitus
On the other side of the problem, the presence of hyperglycemia, gives rise to increased production of diacylglycerol. This results in activation of protein kinase C . Excessive phosphorylation through these pathways alters the transcription of genes responsible for a number of proteins including those responsible for the structural integrity of many cells, tissues and organs throughout the body, such as the brain, heart, skeletal muscles.etc
We may recall that under normal conditions, the metabolism of glucose occurs by pathways that result in the formation of energy and water to drive most of the activities necessary for the cells to function normally, as well as in the production of pyruvates which go into the krebs cycle for more energy, but in conditions of excess glucose, alternative pathways are employed, which result in the production of oxygen coupled molecules. These then react with others in the body to damage cell membranes and related structures. There is also increased movement of reactants through the Hexosamine pathway. This favours the generation of fructose-6-phosphate(F6P), and consequently the excessive production of growth factors and alteration of endocrine properties of vascular endothelium; reflex stimulation of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) for instance is translated to increased resistance at the renal arterioles. Renal hypertension then creates a vicious cycle that may eventually cause irreversible kidney damage, which is seen as a major complication of Diabetes mellitus
Abnormal bleeding pattern is another complication of Diabetes Mellitus that may declare itself as a serious emergency; it may be due to excessive production of platelet-derived growth factor, increased platelet aggregation or decreased activity of fibrinolysins. Diabetic patients particularly those who are also hypertensive are therefore usually advised to exercise extreme caution when asked to take blood thinners such as vitamin E, Aspirin or herbal products known to affect blood clotting system
Especially for type 2 Dm, with Chronic complications, problems may begin very softly, with, few non specific warning signs of tiredness and loss of strength, heart beat may be faster than normal even when the patient is resting.
Frequent micturition, and especially nocturia, when a patient who had never been woken up by the urge to urinate finds himself or herself getting up four to five times in the night to do so, though a common symptom may also herald serious onset of an acute or chronic complication. This should be different from not being able to hold urine or urinating frequently accompanied with some sweet pain which occurs in urinary tract infection or UTI. As was discussed, excess glucose in blood draws water from the cells so that two things can happen; to dilute the excess glucose with the water, remove the excess glucose through urine formed in the kidneys, this starves the cells of water and those cells passing through a center in the Brain sends signals to the patient to drink more water leading to polydypsia and then more urine is made in a cycle that leaves him weak, dry and thin.
Microvascular complications
Retinopathy and Neuropathy.
The eyes are often used by physicians as windows to the brain, and in many cases, by the time the eyes begin to show signs of damage, they are likely to search for similar tissue damage in other parts of the body. Blurred vision, seeing shadows, or black spots, all due to involvement of the light sensitive retina at the back of the eye may appear for the first time in a patient with advanced stage of the disease. An eye specialist may then discover damaged blood vessels in the eye. He could use the shape and pattern of bleeding to tell whether bleeding was as a result of hypertension(hypertensive retinopathy )or diabetes mellitus as in diabetic retinopathy.
Another piece of equipment in the office of the eye physician or general practice Physician, Tonometer can measure the pressure in the eye ball and draw attention to the condition called glaucoma, another complication of uncontrolled high blood sugar. What ever the manifestation, the mechanisms may include the following;
•direct damage to the tiny blood vessels of the vascular portion of the eye
•dumping of abnormal proteins, protein products, fibrin residues and fibrin degradation products blocks regular flow of free fluid between the chambers of the eye leading to abnormal increase in the pressure of the eye ball. In addition, similar deposits of fats, sugar, calcium and protein complexes along the inner walls of blood vessels cause narrowing of the caliber of the small vessels, and also cause them to break when they try to expand to accommodate blood.
•attempt by the body to repair the damage by issuing signals for growth of new blood vessels(angiogenesis)
•obliteration of the bipolar paraneurones , and their supporting cells in the light sensitive back of the eye ball, the retina
• disorganization , and disruption of the flow of fluid across the chambers of the eye as result of blockade of canals(schlem) etc, all these will manifest in several different patterns and that is why you must seek medical advice from appropriate quarters . There you will receive additional information, and will know what you can safely do for yourself and others you shouldn't attempt.
Peripheral arterial disease Again , the presence of a blister in the foot that refuses to heal may for the very first time force a patient to the hospital . For others it may be troublesome electric shock type of feeling along parts of the distal upper and lower limbs where gloves and stockings are usually worn .
Diabetic patients who also have other conditions of the musculoskeletal system such as, knock knee(valgus deformity), bow legs(varus deformity), flat feet( pes planus), anatomically significant leg length inequality, bent spine(scoliosis, kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis) are at increased risk for diabetic foot ulcer, in this conditions, there is alteration in the normal biomechanics of the spine in weight transmission and distribution from the lumbar vertebrae(lower backbone) through the sacrum (holy bone) to the waist , thigh, leg and arches of the feet . More weight than is allowed is borne by one foot at the expense of the other
It is believed that inflammatory and apoptotic events occasioned by AGE occurring at different levels incuding the vasa nervorum are responsible for these abnormal sensation , progression to complete loss of sensation occur with the passage of time and persistence of hyperglycemia.
Under these conditions, a patient loses the ability to feel pain in the feet and legs. He may step on a mounted nail and be pierced without knowing it, There very many spaces in the plantar area of the foot where infection and pus can spread and within a short period ,the whole foot is nothing but a bag of pus up to the ankle, a situation that will definitely involve amputation of one or both feet. Simple avoidance behavior such as good personal hygiene with emphasis on foot care , wearing loose fitting shoes, and regular monitoring of blood glucose will prevent or reduce these problems
A diabetic patient may have striking pains in the limbs when he tries even mild physical activity ,the pains disappears when he rests the affected limb( intermittent claudication). In some people this may pass without further problems, but may be the first symptom that the limbs are about to develop serious problems
The risk of developing diabetic foot ulcer increases under the following settings;
. a parent , auntie, uncle , brother or sister had a similar problem
. the patient is a male adult older than 35 years
.the patient is obese with BMI ,30 and above, particularly gyenoid or pear type where fat is distributed around the buttocks, waist, thigh, and legs
He ( patient) smokes;diabetic patients who smoke are at a particular risk of developing end arteritis obliterans(obliteration of end arteries) usually followed by gangrene
patient has had diabetes for over 10years and control of blood sugar has been erratic , despite good medical supervision
patient has abnormal musculoskeletal deformities
patient habitually wears tight fitting shoes
Impotence(Erectile dysfunction) in Diabetes Mellitus requires special attention, because it is quite capable of resulting in marital disharmony especially if couples had been very sexually active before illness began. Sexual activities involve the central, and the autonomic arms of the Nervous system . Even without any chronic disease conditions, the interest and stamina for sex decline as early as age 25, and earlier in some men and women. Diabetes mellitus more common in middle age , is commonly seen in association with hypertension and the drugs used in the treatment of both conditions reduce libido and cause impotence. These issues when added to the primitive idea that the man should at all times initiate sexual intercourse place the man in a position of disadvantage and hopelessness. The symptoms range from weak to flaccid appearance , but can hopefully be completely reversed with a loving, patient , reasonable and understanding wife with the supervision of the family physician. Decreased synthesis of nitrous oxide(NO) due to advanced gycosylated end products which also alters the elastic properties of vascular endothelium account for 60% of the etiology, apart from other psychosomatic issues . Excessive sweating and anxiety make the situation worse, because in that condition, the blood vessels in the penis are actually collapsing instead of dilating, or opening ,return of venous blood to the heart is reduced , making it difficult for the Heart to supply blood to itself so it can sustain life, for this reason, attempt to use a performance enhancing drug to force the heart to pump more blood to where it is mostly needed , will create a physiological crisis for the body . When blood is shunted from a heart that is already battling to supply itself, the rest can be worked out.
Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus:- diabetic patients who are obese are more likely to have poor wound healing abnormal orientation of the feet , anatomically significant leg length inequality, and abnormal weight bearing during activities of daily life poor spine, hip and foot muscle alignment , ulcers form as a result of the loss of the sense of pressure, pain , two point discrimination and touch .
Macrovascular complications
Coronary artery disease:- Lipids especially the bad cholesterol low density and very low density lipoproteins(LD&VLD) are elevated where as the good cholesterol ,high density cholesterol (HDL)is low. Moreover, Diabetes Mellitus is associated with narrowing of the coronary vessels, wasting and loss of cardiac muscle tissue. Because signs of small heart attacks (micro infarcts) are commonly absent, sudden death may occur without the warning symptom of left sided chest pain radiating to the inner left arm and inner left neck
Cerebrovascular disease(CVD)
Stroke may occur after minor arguments ,minor physical exertion or even while sleeping. One side of the body may be paralyzed with or without loss of consciousness. Deposits of AGE in the walls of arteries in the brain, causes them to lose elasticity, and become plastic . They are liable to rupture at any moment of agitation, slight increase in blood pressure or sudden large drop in blood pressure(law of Laplace). Diabetic patients with congenital or acquired blood filled outpocketting of the blood vessel wall(aneurysms) in the arterial circle of Willis are particularly vulnerable
Fatty liver and hypertension are both included in the entities that constitute the metabolic syndrome. The liver is like a factory in the human body ,and as such is the main site of storage of unutilized glucose as well as the breakdown of glycogen . In diabetes mellitus increased deposits of triglycerides and increased need for increased production of glucose from non carbohydrate sources may result in fatty liver. The matter is not yet settled as to which one comes first ,since there are very many other alternative pathways involved, but it is enough to stress that the appearance of fatty liver in type 2 Diabetes mellitus should be taken seriously .
may develop in the older patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mainly from abnormalities in the parasympathetic chain of the ANS. Hyperglycemia on its own causes delayed gastric emptying, bloating and easy fullness with small meals
How ever many people live with diabetes mellitus for years without complications, but are few.
When blood sugar remains persistently high, the body becomes a living reservoir for small organisms inside and outside the body, outside the body, fungal infections with candidisis of the skin , bacteria infections with staph aureus can take the form of recurrent boils, and can even appear as badly smelling infection of the outer ear(otitis externa), offensive vaginal itching with or without abnormal discharge, Escherichia coli,(ecoli), can colonize the urinary bladder(cystitis with frequency, urgency and strangury) , the urethra in women (shorter in women, 3or 4 cm compared to 10-11cm in men), and can climb up to cause ascending pyelonephritis , or even frank kidney infection
Dermal complications;
Skin complications are usually coincidental with those just described, with little differences, protracted wound healing and skin ulcerations are common features of Diabetes mellitus , but can be so bad as to cause wound dehiscence or wound break down forcing the surgical team to go back into the theatre several times for the same surgery, each successive surgery carrying a higher risk .Sometimes Typhoid perforation may occur in a diabetic as a complication with very challenging consequences for the surgical team
Type 1 Diabetes mellitus is as a result of autoimmune conditions and hence the association with vitiligo, a skin condition where the dark melanin producing cells normally present in the skin of black people are attacked and destroyed by cells of patient's own immune system, the condition appears as white patches all mover the body and has no known cure.
On the other hand, very dark spots may appear in the skin of the armpit, back of elbow and hands and , they are called ancathosis nigricans and their appearance is not a good sign for diabetic patients on insulin. They are different from the milder diabetic pretebial spots,
Growth factors summoned to rectify damage caused by age are believed to be partly responsible . these include epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor I, growth hormone, etc
Know the medical history of your family so you PLAN how to tailor your life style with regards to food drinks , travel and stress management. You must avoid sugar and excess carbohydrates, wheat in whatever forms should be taken only in moderation.
Stick with a Doctor, seek opinion from other Doctors as you deem reasonable but remain connected with one you can see at any time , no matter the number of sophisticated gadgets you have, they are no substitutes for your Doctor
Single lab tests do not diagnose Diabetes mellitus, clinical symptoms and signs together with blood and urine tests are considered and confirmation established before diagnosis is made
Diabetes mellitus can cause damage to important organs like the Heart, Kidneys , Brain and the eyes, long before the patient becomes aware, any unusual observations in these areas should be brought to the attention of your Doctor
If you are diabetic and already have complications such as ulcers in the limbs, the situation has gone beyond seeking solution from alternative medicine practitioners. Surgery to save life with insulin carefully calculated to control blood sugar will serve you better when combined in the province of a well established center
Avoid performance enhancing drugs ; they can kill your heart . wait until your condition is stable, plan your exercise to go with your diet program and exercise with common sense; using mild hands and legs exercise with short walking either alone or in combination, you can to test your physical strength and your ability to have successful coitus without endangering your health. The supervision of your physician or dietician must never be ignored
Skin complications of insulin injection site can also occur; they may be unsightly but pose no danger . unusual thickening or loss of pigment should be made known to the care giver
Attention to other risk factors for vascular disease (smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension) and improved glycemic control are also important.

How to Clean up your Businesses Mess!!
One thing that all of us entrepreneurs fall victim of is creating one big mess in our businesses.
Sometimes it is temporary mess and sometimes it is long term fatal disaster.
The most important point is to STOP!!
Yes, realize that you are going to go insane if you continue to ignore it, so just stop and deal with the mess.
First point:
Here at Accounting Guide & Taxes we hold entrepreneur mastermind workshops where we go over working in "The Zone". One of the key points of "The Zone" is to know when it is time to delegate.
That old cliche "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself" is part of the 90% who do not make it past the 5 year survival mark. Finding quality help is juts as important as finding new clients for your business.
If what you have to do is not something your great at, have a passion for, and doesn't give you a substantial ROI (return on investment) then DELEGATE it to someone who does have a talent for the task.
You will end up better off sticking to the money making activities you enjoy and that you excel at.
If your thinking to yourself you can't afford good help, the truth is you can't afford not to.
Find a joint venture partner if you can't bring someone full time to free yourself from being the jack of all trades.
Second point:
Clean up that desk!
If your desk looks like someone is buried under it, how do you think your brain feels?
Every Monday before you even turn on your computer make sure your desk is in order and all the "to-do" piles are taken care of. Oh, yea and you know those drawers you haven't opened in months….do the same thing!
If you really want to transform your business and you have the freedom to work remotely, get rid of the desk all together.
Work a couple weeks at your local coffeehouse and you will realize how much space you actually need to be effective!
Final point:
Stick to what you do best.
There will always be a chance to make money by doing something outside your area of expertise, but the successful 10% never chase fool's gold. Resist the temptation to take on something outside your niche without already having the business model in place to do it right.
That means if you do not have a system for production, marketing, sales, and post follow up then this is not something you should take on.
If you can stick to these simple points within your business plan, you will see your stress levels start to become productive profit levels for your business.
Share any points that have cleaned up messes in your business in the comments below…thanks!
How doing business with a friend was the Best and Worst Idea…
Getting in a business with a friend is most likely the hardest and yet the easiest thing we can all do.
I know, I know, sounds confusing but I have more then one experience with business partners and joint ventures that prove both ends of my point.
Every time I have an idea for another entrepreneur venture I usually run it by a close friend who has some type of experience in the subject that can validate or kill the idea. That is a great advantage to have but it also becomes very easy to want to work on it together if it's a good one.
For example, my first business venture that lasted 5 plus years was opening my mortgage company back in 2003 (the good old days). When I first thought of the idea I ran it by my closest friend in the industry.
I knew I could trust his opinion, not to mention he was older and had more life experience at the time.
I did all the research and flooded him with facts, figures, and strategy.
By the time we went over all the pros and cons we had already decided to go in to this venture together.
Two like minded professionals wanting to take over the world, helping as many people as we could, and making a ton of money doing it.
Easy, right? ….
I learned a lot from him, I can honestly say he was one of my first mentors. We had some real good years in the real estate boom and everything pointed in the right direction that we had made a great decision.
Now came the hard part, I was unhappy with my career . I was making great money but I wasn't happy doing it. I wanted to try something else in hope of finding my true purpose.
Even though I had bills and employees, I was still in a place where I could make a change since I didn't have a wife and kids who depended on me. However there was one major thing that was weighing on me, a business partner and friend to consider before making any decisions about my future.
Eventually, in the early part of 2008 when banks started to close I took the opportunity and ran with it applying my exit strategy. Even though there was no issues in closing down our operation and giving our employees plenty of time to find another job I couldn't shake the feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I wasn't worrying about me, my future, or the new road I was planning to take.
Instead I was more worried about my friendship and doing things the right way so we can split and continue as friends.
To this day we are still great friends, but now that I can look back at the complete experience and make a long list of pros and cons.
I knew trust was number one priority between us.
The lessons and professional growth I experienced having a good partner was priceless.
Getting to run ideas and brainstorm with someone who cares just as much as you do for the plans success.
Sharing great experiences and profits with a good friend.
Having to make decisions with someone who has a different perspective on a certain idea.
Always needing to be on the same page with someone else.
Handling communication with employees in a way you do not undermine each other.
Delegating the responsibilities between each other, especially the one you hate doing the most.
Loosing trust in a partner if something bad happens between each other.
Having to let go of an employee when the other person does not agree.
Trying to decide on the right effective marketing campaign that you all agree on.
And the list goes on and on….
The best way to take on a partnership whether they are friend, family, or even a stranger is having the same core values and purpose. This was the biggest lesson learned from my experience.
If there is just one hint of disconnect in any of the values you can be sure it will grow to drive a wedge in between, sooner than later.
That is the first step, from there everything else can be discussed and game-planned.

CALGARY - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered a sympathetic ear to major players in Canada's oilpatch Thursday, but didn't provide any assurances on the fate of the pipelines Alberta so desperately wants to move its product to the coasts.
Trudeau, federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley took part in one-hour roundtables with oil and natural gas producers and their suppliers.
The province's oil sector is looking for signals that Trudeau is serious about seeing pipelines built that will move its commodity to where it can be shipped to foreign markets.
The Energy East project is seen as a key plank, but the controversial pipeline has drawn the ire of many along its route through Central Canada to the Atlantic coast.
The prime minister was asked after the meeting if he told the industry that the federal government would approve Energy East if approved by the National Energy Board.
Trudeau repeated his criticism of the previous Conservative government and its politicization of pipelines. He said he would not do the same.
"I'm not going to prejudge or shortcut the NEB process as it goes forward," Trudeau said. "It's important that we have confidence in our regulators. It's important they do their job and we're going to allow them to do their job without political interference."
The president and CEO of Suncor Energy (TSX:SU), Steve Williams, said the meeting with Trudeau was encouraging, but there were no guarantees about pipeline approvals.
"I think assurances is too strong a word. I think what we agreed was that we understood the need for them and we're all going to go away and work towards that end," Williams said.
Mark Salkeld, president of Petroleum Services Association of Canada, also found a reason for optimism after the meeting. He said industry players asked Trudeau to "be our champion" because energy is Canada's economic engine.
"We weren't looking for handouts. We weren't looking for incentives to get us through to the next stage. We're looking for things that will put our employees back to work," said Salkeld.
Action is needed quickly, Salkeld added.
"It's critical. I mean this industry is essentially on its knees right now in Canada. If we don't get things moving relatively quickly there's going to be a generational loss," he said.
Alberta Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd said Trudeau was paying close attention.
"We just had a great conversation that talked about the urgency of some of the challenges we're facing," she said. "There was no particular ask (from the participants)."
As he did in Edmonton on Wednesday, the prime minister continued to signal that changes are coming to make employment insurance easier to get for laid-off Albertans.
"We are working very hard, the minister of Employment is looking into it," he said.
"As you know this was a commitment we made through the election campaign to strengthen EI to make it more responsive to people who actually need it ... and now Alberta is facing some real challenges in needing it and we're going to make sure that it's there for them."

text: September 14, 2010 SAT results show student diversity, link to academic rigor Source: NYSUT Communications The College Board today announced the SAT results for New York students. The largest group ever of New York students - 161,139 members of the class of 2010 - took the SAT as part of their college preparation process. Of those thousands of test takers, 42 percent were minority students, up from 32.2 percent in 2005 and 28.1 percent in 2000. In addition, 38.8 percent indicated they would be the first in their family to attend college. College Board: 2010 New York College-Bound Seniors More Diverse Than Ever Before; SAT® Results Underscore Importance of Academic Rigor (PDF) The value of NYSUT's push for academic rigor was evident in the test results. Students who completed a core curriculum of four or more years of English, three or more years of math, three or more years of science and three or more years of social science and history far outscored their peers who did not, by an average of 60 points in each of the three SAT components. The participation by the class of 2010 was 0.8 percent higher than the class of 2009. New York is among the top three states in SAT participation; 85.5 percent of all high school graduates take the SAT at some point during their career.

Smucker Sales Fall 2% on Coffee Promotions
Food Company Sees Sales Increasing Slightly Less Than Earlier Forecast
J.M. Smucker Co. said its fiscal first-quarter sales fell 2%, hurt by increased promotions as its U.S. retail-coffee business.
The company's results fell short of market expectations, and Smucker also issued a less optimistic sales outlook for the year. The company said it expects sales to increase at a rate "slightly less" than the 5% growth it forecast earlier this year.

For the purposes of this contest, the following definitions apply:
1. Artist: An artist is defined as someone who makes fewer than 1,000 bears or "friends" annually. Submissions in the artist categories must be designed by the submitting artist and at least 50% of each bear or "friend," including the head, must be constructed by the artist.
2. Manufacturer: A manufacturer is defined as producing a total of 1,000 or more bears or "friends" per year. Manufacturer entries must be produced by the manufacturer and not the designing artist.
3. A teddy bear is a plaything or collectible produced in the image of a bear, with an external covering of plush or other fabric (including real fur or leather). A teddy bear can be jointed, partially jointed, or unjointed. Entries in category 10 may be created in whole or part from alternate substances (e.g., wood, felt, clay, yarn, wool).
4. "Friends" are soft-sculptured playthings or collectibles resembling animals other than bears and having an external covering of plush or other fabric (including real fur or leather). "Friends" can be jointed, partially jointed, or unjointed. "Friends" entered in category 10 may be created in whole or part from alternate substances (e.g., wood, felt, clay, yarn, wool).
5. Dolls are jointed or unjointed playthings or collectibles produced from any material in a human image. No dolls may be entered in any category.
6. Dressed vs. Undressed: In general, a bear wearing one accessory, such as a hat, collar, bow, etc., is considered Undressed, particularly when the accessory covers one-third (1/3) of the bear or less. However, if any accessory, dye, or article of clothing, alone or in combination, leads viewers to perceive the bear as a character or as wearing a costume (fictional character, clown, Santa, flower or fruit, historical figure, etc.), the bear is considered Dressed. A bear wearing wings is considered Dressed. Props, which are items used to create a scene, may be used only in the Set or Vignette category.
7. Miniature, Small, Large: Miniature entries must be 5 inches or smaller. Small entries are over 5 inches and less than 14 inches. Large entries are 14 inches or larger. (See Measurements below.)

10. All entries for the 2015 TOBY Awards must have been first introduced on or after January 1, 2014, and made available for sale during 2014. Bears and "friends" introduced and made available for sale in 2014 which have already been sold are eligible.
11. The entry must be a new, original design and not a variation or re-costuming of a previous design.
12. Artists may submit entries which were created as collaborations. All participating artists must be identified, but it is not necessary to detail the contributions of each artist.
13. Entrants may submit as many entries as desired in each category, but each teddy bear and/or "friend" can only be entered once.
14. It is not required that entering artists make the costumes, clothing, and/or accessories displayed on their bears or "friends." However, as much as possible, the designer and/or maker of such costumes, clothing, and accessories should be identified on the entry form.
15. Any substantial changes made in costume, materials, or retail price from the original entry are grounds for disqualification of the entry.
16. For your protection, please do not submit entries in the image of or with the name of trademarked characters unless you hold a license to create the characters.

Gigalight is global optical interconnection design innovator. A series of optical interconnect products include: optical transceivers, passive optical components, active optical cables, GIGAC MTP/MPO cablings, and cloud programmers & checkers, etc.
The main technical trends of fiber optical sfp communication
In the field of optical communication, different companies hold different opinions about the trends of this industry. But we would like to talk about our ideas today to share with you all.
The main trends of current optical products including:
A miniaturization and integration;
B miniaturization and lower cost;
C higher speed and larger capacity;
D lower power consumption;
E closed proprietary to open and flexible.
Smaller, more integrated, lower cost, lower power consumption, greater capacity, in fact, is the development trend of optical communication products. And the last one(E) to open and flexible, is the new trend of SDN technology, but also the most important trend.
Miniaturization, integration, low cost, high speed, large capacity and low power consumption, all these have been the requirements of optical communication products in different times. But they present different details in different times even they always combine each together. In 2016, the ultra small PD of German Karlsruhe Institute, TE micro QSFP, data centre optics, QSFP DD and other MSA are on behalf of the development of this miniaturization technology. In the aspect of the integration technology, silicon photonic is very hot this year, but not the only option. In fact, integration is not only the integration of the chip level, the current integration of active devices and passive devices is also a kind of integration. There are very few individual passive or active devices.
Optical communications manufacturers have been committed to reducing costs and power consumption. The emergence of the ACO CFP module is a cost reduction effort. COBO alliance's goal is to reduce cost, but also to reduce power consumption. The emergence of the technology is directly related to the needs of the system vendors. Ignoring the impact of these trends, today's dominant manufacturers may fall behind. These technological changes are more important for China's optical communications companies, because these technologies may be more likely to change the package. After all, to make progress like Ranovus in the quantum dot chip is not easy for Chinese manufacturers.
High speed and large capacity is always the goal of optical communication companies. Current hot spots in this area are related to modulation techniques and optical fibers in the 400Gbps and more high speed systems. Compared to the pursuit on the 400Gbps and the experiment, China's optical communication companies should pay more attention to the 25Gbps system. Regardless of Ethernet, PON or 5G mobile communications, 25Gbps will become an important rate in the near future.
From the closed proprietary OEM network equipment to steering flexible reconfigurable open platform is the most important trend in optical communication technology this year since OFC. TIP of Facebook shows ADVA and other equipment companies will support open source optical network equipment plan. From closed to open is the trend of the Internet era, and optical communication will not be forever excluded. How to make our products more flexible and how to support open source, these should be the important issues in the next two years of us all.

We welcome you to the nations for christ ministry's website!
While the world is rapidly changing, traditional methods of global outreach are facing various and extremely difficult challenges in fulfilling the Great Commission. In some countries, these methods have become impossible to implement. Please explore this unique ministry and witness how the Lord is doing amazing things and changing lives of young people from all over the world.
About Us.
Nations for Christ is a unique global outreach ministry to international students located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Because young people are coming from all over the world to the United States, we are positioned to reach them with the Gospel from within our own country.
Our Mission.
Our International Leadership Team is committed to obey the Great Commission through establishing friendships and discipling college students from around the world.
What we Do.
Many international students have never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel before coming to the USA, and so our first priority is to develop friendships with the young people. Then we offer them the opportunity to be discipled through exposing them to Christian worship services, interactive Bible studies and one-on-one mentoring.

Check out my upcoming events, including Orem & Midvale, UT signings this Saturday and Writing for Charity on March 17. If you're in Utah and you 1. Have toyed with the idea of being a writer, 2. Like writing but need a kickstart, 3. Have written aplenty but need help with the craft, 4. Have finished product you're not sure how to publish, or 5. Are just curious about writers and like hanging out with us, don't miss this 1 day workshop. We all donate our time and all $ goes to GREAT causes.
In all this talk the last two blog posts about the absence of girls, I thought I should insert a little presence.
She just kept smiling at me from her high chair. Nearly a year and a half old!
She pulled her hair thingies out, which gave her an awesome kind of horn hair action. Poor little scuffed up nose. Toddlers are beings of much action.
This represents one of the 5 social things I've done in the past several months. I'm often asked how I do it: being a mom and a writer. The answer is: that's all I do. You have to give up everything else. For many people, that wouldn't be worth it. For me it is, even if I do miss having friends...at least ones I ever see.
This was a BYOV party: Bring Your Own Vase. Two of my friends had buckets of flowers and everyone could make their own bouquet. Isn't mine gorgeous? I made it all by myself!*
*i.e. I picked out most of the flowers and Shelby fixed it. I have ZERO talent with visual arts. Truly.
Next post, per requests, let's talk about the Missing Moms.

psychedelic fans
it was a killer summer, and we needed fans. i had these two in storage, thus, it had a thick layer of dust everywhere. since i was going to take them apart anyways, i did what i always wanted to do to its insides....paint them!
not hard at all. twirl lightly, and spray. if you twirl too strong (which i did of course) then the paint will just blow back at you.
when turned on, you really only see the thicker bands of color, so it wasn't really worth getting all detailed on it.
cool fans cooled me down!
project psychedelic fans: pass!

Google Updates Algorithm to include Mobile Ease of Use
Google is updating it's algorithm once again, and some are referring to this update as "mobilegeddon!" It's a strong statement, but the change is going to have a large impact on search results. The reason for the intense verbiage is that Google is now allowing a site's mobile usability to strongly influence search results. The new change makes a lot of sense – people are using their mobile devices and tablets to access the internet more than ever these days, and while using a mobile device, people are likely to bounce from a site with poor mobile design.
Google employees say that the new update will affect more results than either Penguin from 2013, or Panda from 2011 – which affected 4% and 12% of results respectively. This change is different than Panda or Penguin, which simply sought to rid the web of spammy link factories and keyword farms. This new algorithm is Google's attempt to shape the internet in the image it sees fit. However, you can stay ahead of the curve with great hosting to keep your SEO game, and your mobile compatibility, which is now going to be an integral part of SEO, on top.
Dan Sullivan, a respected writer for Search Engine Land, has said that ultimately, this change by Google may not be the best move. It might demote results that are completely valid and relevant for users on a computer, due to a few extra clicks on the site's mobile version. However, it's clear that Google wants to push businesses to beef up their mobile game, and this isn't the first time Google has tried to shape the web business. Google Fiber, the company's fiber optic network which is now in place in 4 cities, threatened Internet Service Providers and caused them to come out with faster speeds, to keep their businesses relevant.
Overall, this change will encourage site owners to make sure their mobile versions are functioning and easy to use, and like always, with any big Google algorithmic change, site owners must also change with the times, or risk becoming irrelevant. Fortunately National Net servers and support staff are already well acquainted with the needs of mobile traffic and the infrastructure we provide for our clients makes every site you build as mobile friendly as your design and content allow.

David Topel, Agriculture, (515) 294-2518
Steve Sullivan, News Service, (515) 294-3720
AMES, Iowa -- David Topel, dean of the Iowa State University College of Agriculture, has received the U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual Secretary's Honor Award.
Topel received the award Wednesday, June 9, in the Jefferson Auditorium in the USDA complex in Washington, D.C. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman presented the award.
The award acknowledges outstanding contributions to agriculture, consumers of agricultural products and to the ability of the USDA to serve America. It was presented to Topel "for excellence throughout his career as a teacher, department head, dean, and agricultural leader, both nationally and internationally."
"I was not expecting anything like this. It is a great honor and nice surprise," said Topel.
Topel has been agriculture dean since July 1988. He recently announced plans to step down from the position later this year, but remain on the faculty of the animal science department.

Purple is the last color I'd pick--for anything. Balk if you must, but it's that part of the color spectrum that I typically stay far away from. I am sharing this amazing Brachetto Wedding photo with you because if this can move me and steer me into loving purple, then I imagine that this would be a perfect springboard to fuel your imagination for your wedding reception.
@NixonWoman has talked a lot about the rules of using mirrors on a table and how to incorporate mirror finishes, which you can read about here. In the meantime, the table you see here is an actual mirror--not just a mirrored finish. The Napoleon chairs are clear acrylic! Mixing in the white flowers and the reflective properties of the table and table elements takes the limited lavender colors and instantly washes the reception in a delicate shade of lavender.
So, if like me, you can't stand purple, this could be a great way to bring that color into focus without making everything in the reception that color. It's like an essence of color. I love that!

Look carefully at this picture: at the top of the blue tub, is the 20 A circuit breaker; below that is the 20AH 48V lithium battery weighing about 15 lbs, supported by 5 springs; to the left is the controller; the 600 watt motor (about 3/4 HP) is in shadow below the battery, its sprocket covered by a plywood chain-guard.
To add electric assist, go to Wallmarts and buy a large plastic tub and screw it at each lower corner to the trike frame. Go to http://www.goldenmotor.ca/ and talk personally to Gary. He's up near Toronto, and order 4 things: a 600 watt BLDC motor, a controller, a thumb acellerator, a battery charger, which comes with the battery, and a 20 ampere-hour 48 volt lithium battery. This battery, by multiplying by the operating voltage is one KWH of energy. With shipping, these items will knock a hole in $1000. Swallow hard. You've now spent almost all the money you will need to finish this project. I find the 600 Watt motor is just right. I cruise at 7 amps, which is 350 watts, acellerate from a stop at 10 amps which is 500 watts, and occasionally touch 15 amps on a steep hill which is 750 watts for a short time. That 20 AH battery gives me a range of 60 to 80 miles on a battery charge, depending on conditions and how hard you pedal. I recently pedaled the 36 miles from Newburyport, Mass to Boston and used .495 KWH of energy. This is the equivalent energy of 1/4 cup (about one shot-glass) of gas, giving a range of 72 miles/charge, and an efficiency of 2400MPGe. This does not include, however, the peanut-butter sandwich calories it took to keep me happy on the drive. This efficiency is 36 times greater than the best automobile presently on the road, and demonstrates the efficiency gains from very low weight (lower acceleration forces and rolling resistance), low speed (lower aerodynamic drag), and human-assist (the human body's very efficient energy conversions).
But back to building the electric assist! Since that battery cost you $600, you want to take special care never to short it out. So go to your local hardware store and buy a 20 amp circuit breaker and immediately wire it in series with one of the battery leads. That's the black box you see on the far end of the blue tub. On the floor make a plywood piece and screw the motor to that. You'll need to have the sprocket on the motor made thinner at a machine shop to accept a 1/8″ bicycle chain, which you can buy from a local bike shop. Then buy a large 27 tooth sprocket from Staton-inc, order number 410, and have that bored out to slip over the shoulder of the unused sprocket on the double freewheel on Utah Trike's rear axle. Utah trikes uses a double freewheel to do the job of a differential.
Firmly centered on the shoulder, the new sprocket is bolted to the quad's sprocket with small bolts. Alas, to do this you have to remove the double freewheel from the quad. If I were doing this project over, I might keep the heavier sprocket which comes with the motor and then use a wider chain and heavier sprocket for the rear axle. This drive is working three times harder than bicycle forces, so a little heavier would cause less stretching, less tooth jumping under load. This said, the present system is working well after about 2000 miles
Since the sprocket which comes on the motor is 9 tooth, this 9/27 ratio drops the motor speed to one third, allowing hill climbing at 6-12 mph and max speed 22-24 on the level. Being a bicyclist, I am always pedalling, but you can ride without pedalling whenever you're tired.
Install the controller on the sidewall of the tub, the battery charger receptacle there too, and cover over the chain with a cover, so you can put groceries in the extra space without having the chain grind them up. Then mount the thumb accellerator on the right handlebar, moving the Nuvinci variable speed controller to the left side. You'll need a nice system to tighten the chain, which is working hard and stretches every two or three weeks. I now have a great, easily adjustable system, which is shown below:
What you're building here is called a parallel hybrid. Each system, the electric and the pedal, operates simultaneously and independently. The pedal system works through a "Schlumpf" two-speed sprocket and a Nuvinci variable speed mid-drive unit. See Utah trikes pictures. The electric system is direct chain-driven to the double-freewheel. In the best of all worlds it would have a freewheel so as not to have the drag of the chain and motor when coasting, or being in the pedal-only mode.
The battery is suspended by 5 hardware store springs, to cut down on 'unsprung weight' since the quadracycle has no suspension. Likewise the mesh seat, which comes with the quad, is removed from the seat frame, which then uses bike inner tubes for a soft ride and going easy on the quad's axles when a big bump is encountered.
If you've never ridden an electric-assist machine, you're in for a treat here. Human power and electric power is a marriage made in heaven. As hills approach you shift down the Nuvinci drive as the hill is encountered and back off on the thumb throttle. The motor here is an AC motor. The permanent magnet rotor follows the speed of the three-phase rotating field created in the stator by the controller. So the thumb throttle does not directly control the ampere load felt by the battery, but rather the 'expected speed' of that throttle position. This means you can go up almost any hill without overloading the battery.
I wish I could tell you the exact range of Sunbeam. So far, using a 'cycle analyst' (also available from Golden Motors) to measure energy drain, I can be pretty sure that the range is 60-80 miles per battery charge; BUT I've never driven that far!

Jarai ethnic minority villagers in Ratanakkiri's O'Yadav district are demanding compensation from a villager they claim illegally cleared a sizeable portion of their community forest this year.
The villagers seized two carts transporting rosewood – and the four buffaloes pulling them – out of the forest on Monday and are holding the load hostage until the logger agrees to pay a $1,300 fine.
The owner of the carts, Uk Kheng, 48, fled the village, according to the commune police chief. "[Uk Kheng] logged the forest four times already without any permission," commune police chief Pouy Chroch said.
Provincial authorities have recognised the 481-hectare Jarai forest as belonging to the community since 2010, though villagers since then have been engaged in numerous land disputes.
"Up to four hectares of forest has been cut down by Kheng this year," village chief Klan Chib said.
Kheng claims, however, that the logs, which he makes a business of selling, came from land near his plantation and not from the community forest.
"I run this business just to support my family's basic needs. I get the timber only when the people order it to build small houses," Kheng said.
He added that he cannot afford to pay the villagers' $1,300 fee, which he sees as extortion.
"Police and the community took my logs because I never paid them any money," Kheng said.
Villagers are threatening to eat Kheng's buffaloes if he does not pay their fine.
Chhay Thy, Ratanakkiri provincial coordinator for rights group Adhoc, said loggers caught cutting the forest could face between five and 10 years' jail time.
"Usually, those responsible for crime are never captured," he said.

Reduce Energy Costs With SoCalGas Rebates
November 11, 2017 by Editor · Leave a Comment
Southern California Gas Co. Thursday issued a reminder about available smart thermostat and appliance rebates that give customers cash back while helping keep natural gas bills low this winter.
SoCalGas offers rebates on hundreds of home products that help save energy. Among the most popular are smart thermostats, which can learn the user's schedule and temperature preferences and adjust the temperature in their home accordingly. They also allow users to adjust home temperatures with a mobile app or computer, and can even use local weather conditions to help control energy costs.
Last winter, customers who participated in a smart thermostat energy efficiency pilot program saved enough natural gas to dry 2 million loads of laundry, according to the utility.
Rebates on energy efficient appliances are also available. Customers can save $50 on Energy Star natural gas dryers, at least $100 on select water heaters and up to $200 on select washing machines. Rebates are also available for low-flow showerheads, including those with thermostatic shut-off valves that temporarily cut water flow once the water has become hot.
For more information on available rebates, visit: https://www.socalgas.com/save-money-and-energy/rebates.
