Cardinal Building Systems has provided great pricing and workmanship for FEC over 10 years now. Our company is very safety oriented and Joe and his men continue to meet all our safety requirements. I would recommend Cardinal Building Systems to anyone where safety, workmanship and pricing matter.

I purchased a steel building from Cardinal Building Systems, Inc. I cannot say enough about the exceptional service I received and the timely manner in which the Nucor building was installed.
The crew that Cardinal uses is outstanding. His crew reported on time and worked with precision throughout the entire process. They made the construction look easy.
I would highly recommend Cardinal Building Systems to anyone.
T. J. O'Laughlin
Captain USNR-R
In the fall of 2013, I decided to have a 90x60 clear- span, per-engineered, steel building erected on my St. Johns property.
After doing extensive research on the companies that provide this service, I found that Cardinal Building Systems was at the top of the list. I contacted several of the companies and received bids. Although Cardinal Building Systems was not the lowest bid, their customer service and guarantees is what made them the best pick. I can say that I am 100% happy with my decision.
From start to finish, Cardinal Steel was professional and helpful. From the site plans for permitting, site prep, foundation, concrete finishing, building delivery, frame construction, Cardinal Steel went above and beyond expectations. I was always informed of the progress. They went out of their way to help me with the modification that I had put into the plans, (32 framed opening that had to have the windows and doors installed before the siding could be finished). I could not be more delighted with my final product, and I would highly recommend Cardinal Building Systems to anyone who is considering buying a pre-engineered steel building.
I know that my building was constructed correctly, with great attention to all the details. All in all, Cardinal Steel Building Systems made sure that the process was easy, understandable, and stress-free!

Positioning concept
Technopolis is a twin brother of another educational project, Technopark, the positioning and corporate identity of which was developed by our agency back in 2013. The projects have been implemented in different universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg but retained common ideology and purpose. This similarity made the work a lot easier: we recovered the old work files from the archive, updated the information during a business meeting in Odnoklassniki, and adjusted the existing positioning.
Education in Technopolis focuses on the development of practical skills, with theory playing a secondary role. This emphasis on practical skills, technology, and development of creative potential is what distinguishes this project from conventional university education.
Visual identification concept
We faced the challenge of finding an idea that would reflect the most remarkable aspect of the course, which is education of creative professionals who are willing to look for unique solutions, think big, and let their creativity flow. There is no place for ordinary performers. Hence the approach to the solution: search for associations, metaphors, and images on the subject of creativity.
Our idea was to fuse graphic art and programming together. Creativity and its relationship with the IT field were manifested in the key idea of showing great artistic masterpieces as if they are being brought to life by coding.
The concept of "creation by coding" was checked for compliance with the advantages of Technopolis, which were supported visually and in terms of meaning: practical focus — through the process of painting creation, fundamental university, education — through everlasting artistic masterpieces, advanced technologies and methods — through digital style and code.
This idea was represented graphically, with code echoing the theme of a "digitized" picture. It's an inside joke, and only a savvy person can see that a masterpiece has been brought to life using code rather than a brush.
We came up with a way to stylize copyrights for any programming language taught in the project in order to show off the technology stack. Copyrights show the affiliation with a professional circle that has its own form of communication, inaccessible to outsiders.
The themes of paintings depend on the information media and are embedded in context, outlining benefits for students or providing a fresh view of common educational and professional situations.
The style of images correlates well with the IT industry. The easy-to-maintain graphical principle allows new media to be created without the help of a designer or illustrator. All you have to do is choose a painting, index the image in Photoshop, and apply the project's brand color. Even a programmer can do that.
A geeky style deserves a geeky typeface. Roboto Mono is a monospaced font that programmers use to write code. All characters have the same width, which means they are positioned exactly one below the other. This makes text formatting much easier and requires no additional makeup tools.
The copyright, first-level headers, and main text are aligned left, as code always is. This is another tiny component of the "digital" visual style.
We picked a four-color palette and developed guidelines for its application in order to avoid overcomplicating the corporate style that is abundant in graphics and text. The images are always tinted blue to emphasize their association with the IT field. Texts are typed in black letters against a white background. Crimson color is used to accentuate certain elements.
The corporate style is graphics-heavy, so we proposed a neat logo with a minimalistic caret sign. This creates an effect of real-time programming.
The main version of the logo for digital media is animated. The abridged version featuring only the initial letter and the caret is best suited for compact offline materials.
Corporate identity media
Only students of the Polytechnic University are admitted to Technopolis, so we used student ID codes to check the status of their owners. In case foul play is detected, a warning is displayed that denies access to education with a metaphorical image below the code.
Escher's lithograph on the student's book highlights the seriousness of education, while the code on it serves to test the student's skill level. If the level equals a 999 variable (which means the course is complete), the student graduates. If not, he continues his education with the project.
Raphael's School of Athens is our attempt to communicate the message that the project gives students the knowledge required to go all the way from a student to a professional. The code is a classic machine learning algorithm that uses metric — a distance between two points in a Euclidian space.
All students get free T-shirts upon admission. The T-shirts features Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeldng's The Fourth Day of Creation accompanied by a classic phrase that introduces you to the world of coding: "Hello, world".
Working on the concept, we carefully selected the appropriate themes, paying attention to the tiniest detail. For example, a phone charger features Zeus, the god of thunder and lightning from a painting on an ancient Greek amphora drawn by an unknown artist. The image is bolstered by code, which communicates a message: if the current charge level is below 10, then we ask for electricity from Zeus, if it is 10 or above, we stop worrying about the fate of the device.
Souvenir badges are informal symbols of such programming languages as Java, PHP, and Ajax. With the latter we made the same mistake as the Amsterdam-based football club sharing the same name: instead of Ajax, their emblem features a portrait of Menelaus. That would be a good party joke for art historians and programmers.
A QR code with the initial letter could pass for a fragment of another masterpiece magnified to the point of becoming completely unrecognizable. It serves the purpose of directing those who are interested to the project website.
Our client also made a touching request: they wanted the project's St. Petersburg origin to be reflected. We approached this challenge with a great deal of humor by adopting the stereotype of the city as a capital of cultural and art history and designing images with recognizable characters and landmarks. For instance, we used a portrait of Peter the Great (the Polytechnic University is named after him) in invitations to the open house day, while the code opened a window to Europe.
Before getting to work on the website, we discussed the development of a visual concept in the Web and the general rules of working with elements with the Nimax team. We offered advice and were happy with the results.
These are the happy students of the inaugural class of Technopolis. Everything we did, we did for them.

DETROIT, MI--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2015) - Nano Labs Corp. (
Dear Shareholders,
We would like to inform our shareholders that the Company received written notice October 6th, 2015 from the US Securities and Exchange Commission that the Commission has taken action to suspend our current auditor's privilege of appearing or practicing before the Commission. You can find a copy of the Commission's action on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2015/33-9915.pdf.
Effective May 7, 2015, the Company's certifying accountant, Terry L. Johnson, CPA ("Johnson"), was dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The reason for the dismissal by the Company of Johnson was based on the fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission took action to suspend Johnson from appearing or practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission and from practicing as an accountant on behalf of any publicly traded company or other entity regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company is not allowed to include Johnson's audit report for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The Company would need to re-audit fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and year ending June 30, 2013.
The Company previously announced that it had engaged Malone Bailey LLP ("MB") as its principal independent registered public accounting firm effective May 7, 2015. The decision to change its principal independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company's board of directors.
The Company's Board of Directors has subsequently determined that the suspension of Johnson and the necessity of re-auditing the financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 has caused disastrous economic and financial consequences for the Company. It has also presented insurmountable issues in obtaining working papers and financial data from Johnson pertaining to its prior financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 as prepared by Johnson, which are being requested by the Company's current auditors. Therefore, the Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to de-register its securities and cease becoming a fully reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Board of Directors has determined that it will proceed with the requirements for listing as a pink sheet company with the OTC Markets while working to correct the accounting issues in order to comply with United States Security Exchange Commissions reporting requirements.
Pol-Ec International Corp
The company would like to inform our shareholders that the company remains focused on completing and starting production by the end of November of 2015. We have leased the location located in Ciudad Sahagun in Hidalgo State and received the equipment to commence production; the first production line will produce 3,000 pieces per day of pavers and cinder blocks for the local market in Mexico City and Mexico State. This plant will produce precast construction materials by recycling and using materials considered as industrial waste currently on site to manufacture prefabricated decorative high value added building materials using industrial waste such as mining tailings, smelting dross, slags and sludge that today are being stored or contained.
Pol-Ec International has presented this new technology to the International Marble Institute and also demonstrated these new results at the International Stone Summit, the Marmomacc conference in Verona, Italy on September 30th to October 3rd, 2015. Pol-Ec International is currently pursuing new opportunities as a result of these presentations to commercialize this tremendous potential for precast construction pieces to be made in a very cost-effective way and representing an irreplaceable alternative to recycling and using pollutant waste materials, turning them into pieces of high aesthetic and commercial value.
We are dealing with this unforeseen accounting set back; we will deal with it and continue to pursue our business development regarding our opportunities with the New Mexico City Airport, monstrous road and highway infrastructure applications, and the major retail markets for our product.
We would like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support as we move forward to commercialization of our technologies.

The wide, wild world of ibiblio
By CHRISTINA DYRNESS, Staff Writer
CHAPEL HILL -- Surfing the ibiblio Web site is like having a conversation with an eccentric intellectual with good intentions to enlighten but little tact or organization.
Kudzu, beekeeping, Tibet, astrobiology, poetry, folk music, Dutch vocabulary words and, excuse me, what exactly is Pet Laundry? On top of general-interest topics, ibiblio hosts a huge collection for the truly tech-minded: resources and sites related to Linux, where dozens of versions of the open-source computer operating system (from Red Hat to VoodooLinux) can be downloaded by anyone with a modem.
In short, for average citizens and the tech-savvy alike, there is simply too much information to be absorbed in one sitting.
Welcome to the Internet's oldest online archive and one of the largest. Housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's campus, ibiblio (www.ibiblio.org) fashions itself as the Internet's public library. It is free to visitors and users of its hosting services -- thanks to backing from the university, technology companies and private grants -- and exists solely for the purpose of putting information into the public domain.
Last year, the eclectic, electric morass celebrated 10 years online, raising the question: What's next? The answer is more of the same -- and then some.
"It's really pushing the edge of where the libraries are going to be," says JoAnn G. Marshall, dean of UNC's school of information and
library science. "It's a contributor-run library. Instead of one kind of library, we're going to have many different kinds of libraries, and they're going to be created by the creators."
Fans of free information are fans of ibiblio.
"We have the same philosophy," says Glenn Otis Brown, executive director of Creative Commons, an ibiblio-hosted, California-based effort to add flexibility to copyright law so that more information can be available in the public domain. "There are so many people who rely on them as a place to come for various kinds of materials."
It would be impossible to explain ibiblio without talking to its founder and fearless leader Paul Jones, whose meandering conversational style and poster-studded, tchotchke-strewn office reflect ibiblio's spirit. When someone comments on the eclectic nature of ibiblio, he's likely to say, "That's kind of the point."
Jones' home base, and that of the student-heavy ibiblio staff, is crammed into a small office suite in UNC's Manning Hall, the home of the School of Information and Library Science, which helps sponsor ibiblio along with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Jones is on the faculties of both schools.
On a recent morning, he gathered his flock -- the human brains of the operation -- in the midst of the wall-less cubicles and desks studded with flat-screen monitors and laptops. The brute strength of ibiblio is yards away in the basement of Phillips Hall, where 10 servers take advantage of the same access and 24-hour support and security that protect the university's main computer networks.
The meeting bounces around the room as the eight-person ibiblio staff -- most are students who pass through the office between classes -- catch one another up on projects they're working on. The meeting is laced with inside jokes and quick side discussions about technical topics such as statistics and databases. When they get together, it becomes clear that behind ibiblio's virtual public library facade is a playground for geekdom.
Jones opens by announcing something exciting: Ibiblio is angling to get a treasure trove of new data from an open-source software foundation -- tens of gigabytes of data from code logs to e-mail lists.
"It's fairly raw," Jones tells his people, who have rolled closer on office chairs, some still tapping away on laptops. "But it would be cool to figure out what their data tells us."
In other words, a huge, new digital archive to study, organize and make available to others. For a place that has spent the past decade doing just that, it is, in Jones' words, "a gold mine."
Which brings up an important point. Ibiblio is all about free information, but it's also very much about free software.
Ibiblio got its start in 1992 as SunSite. A press release that October announces the official launch of SunSite, a joint project of UNC and Sun Microsystems Computer, that "will act as a central repository for a collection of public-domain software, shareware and other electronic material such as research articles and electronic images."
Erik Troan managed the Linux archive -- organizing submissions of programming code and messages from hackers around the world -- from 1992 until 1995. "You have to remember that these were the days before Web browsers were very popular," Troan says. "The Internet was a different culture then."
Without Web pages to bounce around on, Linux enthusiasts communicated solely through e-mail lists and used ftp -- literally "file transfer protocol" -- servers to move files around. SunSite was one of the first dedicated ftp servers for public use.
"So if the electronic mailing list was the community, SunSite was the book shelf," says Troan, who is director of product marketing at Raleigh-based Red Hat, the world's largest distributor of the Linux operating system. It was "where you could get the latest code and play with it."
Eric S. Raymond, a respected voice in the Linux community and author of "The New Hacker's Dictionary" ($24.95, MIT Press), took over management of the archives for a time after Troan, one of Red Hat's first employees, got too busy at work.
Raymond suggests that although ibiblio was in the beginning a virtual center for the open-source community, it since has ceded its position as the keeper of the culture to other Web sites that have sprung up in recent years.
"I don't think it's as important as it once was. Sites with richer metadata and more active content, such as SourceForge and Freshmeat and Savannah, have become the center of the action," Raymond says. But Raymond calls ibiblio a valuable archive. "I still submit my stuff there as a hedge against the possibility that the newer sites might go belly-up."
Jones is quick to point out that ibiblio regularly partners with many of the sites Raymond mentions but says that ibiblio's main goal with open source has always been to offer access to the software and an archive of its development.
And ibiblio is hardly a boring backwater of the Web. Access data shows that about 5 million visitors poke into its various corners every day, whether to download a file, listen to one of five radio stations or look at the latest installment of Doctor Fun -- a Far Side-esque one-panel cartoon that pokes irreverent fun at topics that include world politics and Bjork's swan dress.
Doctor Fun says it has the distinction of being the longest-running comic on the Web. David Farley, who draws the cartoon in Chicago where he manages a tech-support group, says he moved Doctor Fun to ibiblio in 1993 and now gets close to 50,000 hits on his site a day.
Farley once had a contract to make Doctor Fun commercial through United Media, but the contract fell through, and he says he is happy sticking with ibiblio.
But the evolution of some popular ibiblio sites goes differently. If they become commercial in any way -- selling T-shirts, posting banner ads, taking a sponsorship from a corporation -- they get booted from the system.
Ibiblio was the original home of the Internet Movie Database (now at www.imdb.com), the Internet Underground Music Archive (now www.iuma.com) and something called the Church of the SubGenius (now www.subgenius.com).
"Usually, it started out as their hobby. They started doing some interesting work and got people coming to their site," Jones explains. "Then they sold some ads on there, or a couple of T-shirts. And we tell them, 'We don't do that.' "
Ibiblio's guidelines are pretty straightforward. Web sites with material of interest to the public will be hosted for free as long as there is nothing commercial about them. Thus, the Unofficial Elvis site, built by Andrea Berman while she was procrastinating on her master's thesis in 1994, coexists with the WebMuseum, built by Nicolas Picoh of France who decided that same year that the Internet needed more artistic content.
They both share space with the Documenting the American South database, a sprawling depository of slave narratives and Southern literature assembled by the Academic Affairs library at UNC and launched in 1996. In other words, from wacky to scholarly, ibiblio has hosted, and will continue to host, it all.
When the ibiblio name was unfurled in 2000 (at that time the site was going by the name MetaLab), it came with a grant of $4 million from the Center for the Public Domain that would help fuel an ambitious growth plan. Started by Red Hat co-founders Bob Young and Marc Ewing in 1999, the CPD called it quits in 2002. Ibiblio got half the money it was promised.
These days, ibiblio gets by on about $200,000 from UNC -- covering salaries and office products -- and the remainder of the CPD grant, which Jones says will last an additional four or five years. By then, Jones hopes to set up an endowment that would generate the $250,000 a year in funds he needs -- most of it goes to pay for bandwidth to handle the activity ibiblio generates online -- beyond what the university provides.
Beyond the money, Jones counts on technology grants from companies such as IBM, which in 2000 committed to give $250,000 worth of equipment to ibiblio. Jones says ibiblio collaborates with IBM on some research that might be applied to future IBM products.
"We share some research stuff with IBM. They're interested in self-healing software, and we don't fail all that much," Jones says.
That's what Jones likes about the IBM relationship: the research. That, and he gets people such as David "Dr. Dave" Bradley, the IBM engineer famous for inventing the PC-reboot Ctrl-Alt-Delete command, to come have lunch with his "ibiblioans."
Jones would like to see ibiblio share a lot more of its expertise with the outside world, especially academia, in the future. For example, a paper that uses ibiblio statistics to debunk a theory that older sites are automatically more popular on the Web because they're more frequently linked to will be presented by Miles Efron and Donald Sizemore, two ibiblio staffers, at a conference on digital libraries in May.
Beyond a learning bent, ibiblio will continue to grow as a digital library run by its contributors armed with technology tools -- some honed over 10 years, some yet to be developed -- that allow them to put their information out there in new ways for everyone to see.
UNC's Marshall doesn't apologize for ibiblio's eclectic nature, nor does she think it will ever really change.
"It's experimental. It will never be a beautifully organized package," Marshall said. "Creative things are pretty messy, and they are always going to be changing."

The Glendale Agricultural Society's award-winning Children's Countryside Day has announced a new chairman and a new committee member.
Well-known Northumberland farmer Andrew Reed, who has been a committee member for a number of years, has been appointed as chair of the committee while mum of three, Laura Smales from Bowsden, has been confirmed as a new committee member.
Andrew is looking forward to chairing the event, which provides education for around 1,500 children from Northumberland and Tyne and Wear in June each year.
He said: "As a farmer and therefore a producer of food, I am very proud to be associated with the Children's Countryside Day which is a truly inspirational event for children. Since its inception 11 years ago we have given thousands of children a glimpse of rural life and the chance to find out where their food comes from.
"I am looking forward to chairing the event for the first time this year, and along with all of the other committee members, we aim to ensure that once again hundreds of children get, what is quite literally, a taste of the countryside."
Laura, who is the newest recruit to the eight-member committee, said: "I'm delighted to be sharing my ideas and supporting what is a hugely important event.
"As a mum of young children, I know how vital it is for them to learn about where their food comes from and find out about life in the countryside. The Children's Countryside Day does this in a fun way, and helps children to create life-long memories and enjoy a unique experience."
The 2015 Children's Countryside Day, which is free for schools to attend, was oversubscribed within four days of sending information packs to schools interested in taking part in this year's event.
Aimed at primary school children aged between five and nine, the event has helped to educate more than 15,000 young people since it started 11 years ago. In that time, GAS has raised around £175,000 in grants to help fund the programme and ensure children can continue attending free of charge.
The Children's Countryside Day relies entirely on the goodwill of volunteers – around 250 on the day itself – to ensure it runs smoothly. It employs just one part-time member of staff, Ruth Oldfield, who organises the event in conjunction with the committee and volunteers.
She said: "Andrew has some great ideas and we're also delighted to secure the services of Laura to bring new input to what we're doing. As parents of young children, they're ideally placed to understand both what the Countryside Day is aiming to get across. Today, children spend so much of their free time looking at screens, and their direct relationship with the countryside and farming is often very tenuous.
"It's important that the Children's Countryside Day can bridge that gap in their knowledge, in a fun and interactive way."
The GAS Children's Countryside Day won the Northumberland National Park Young People's Mentor Award 2013 and the Bayer FACE Innovative Learning Award in 2011.

Beat the Heat
by LJ DovichiJuly 9th, 2008
It's July and we're now in the firm grips of sun, heat, and more heat. Here are some tips to keep cool and keep the electric bill from rising. These tips are especially useful if you don't have air conditioning at all.
Shade. Before it starts to get hot, close the blinds and the curtains. Not having direct sunlight come inside the house makes a huge difference on the temperature indoors. And really it's cheaper to have a light on than to have the A/C running on full blast.
Windows. While it's still cool out open up all the windows in your house, letting in all the cool air — better still to leave them open all night when it gets even cooler. Then before it starts to get hot shut them all. It will stay cooler in your house longer if you don't keep letting in the hot air.
Fans. Fans take up less electricity than an air conditioner and they're a real life saver if you don't have any A/C at all. Ceiling fans are best as they keep the air circulating and you can change the direction of the blades but box fans and oscillating fans are better than nothing. A great trick for cooling off your house fast when the sun goes down is to open the windows to create air flow and put the fans in front of the windows on one side of the house. They will suck the cool air in from outside and push the stale warm air out the other side. It doesn't work if you have fans in all the windows because the air doesn't move anywhere. When you have the house shut up for the heat of the day, keep them running to help keep the air cooler and to keep it circulating.
Water. If you have access to a swimming pool the best time to go is when it's hottest. It gets you out of the hot house or apartment and cools you off — don't forget the sunscreen, though, because that's when the UV's are at their worst. But if you don't have access to a pool, then run a cool bath. Drinking lots of cold water helps to keep you cool internally as well.

Fast-food chain Lotteria is currently selling a limited-edition burger containing a handful of Calbee potato chips placed on top of the meat patty. For those not ready to sink their teeth into that crunchy creation, Lotteria and Calbee have also teamed up on a special chip that tastes like Lotteria's Zeppin Cheeseburger.
Out of the bag, the flavoring on these chips can be weirdly distributed — some are super-peppery, others pack very little punch. But when you bite into a properly flavored one, it strikes a perfect balance between peppery beef and greasy cheese. And they're easier to eat than a burger stuffed with chips.

RHG : recreational hang gliding
Diary notes:
10 a.m.-11 a.m. : site cleaning. Four beach personnel helped to take away FDGS found-and-arranged items off the most south launch-flight-run path: four large wood logs, six boards that had each two nails in them sticking out ready for nasty punctures, a door-frame part, and two BBQ skewers set in sand ready to pierce beach goers and landing recreational hang glider pilots. The launch and flight run is rarely, if ever used by the concessionaires or recreational hang glider pilots; but now the path is cleared of hazards. At about 5 p.m. BobK, JoeF, and Frank flew at the cleared most-south site. The site is south of where the concessionaire mostly gives lessons. Our flights were substantial.
12 noon to 1:30 a Condor 330 owned by Frank Colver was hatched fully by combine efforts of Frank, BobK, and JoeF. Frank modified the foam on the base bar to allow the wheels that he constructed for the beach sand; the mod worked well.
Then flying ensued; between the three pilots about 45 take offs, 45 cruise flights, and 45 landings were made. Each take off had its peculiar lessons and experience. Each flight through the clean fresh air had its special challenges. Each landing gave a neat unique fun experience. All were refreshing the spirit.
About 7:30 p.m.: The putting to bed of the Condor 330 had its challenges and little lessons. Some things were found that will be getting Frank's special shop attention. Plugs for the LE tubes for semi-short pack is one project. Another: One flying wire was with a significant scuff stemming from shipping from Michigan state or prior use in Michigan; we taped the section to identify it for later attention. The helper bungee for the rear kingpost wire will be getting some logistical attention. The keel rib batten front cradling will get some Frank ingenuity. A tip bag seems to be missing. A helper rubber strap might be found to aid in keeping the batten camber sectors together for bagging.
We celebrated with an evening meal and made some plans further organization of FDGS.
My trek for the day was enriching and joyful: 6 a.m. packed; 7 a.m. began walk to bus; bus; train; bus; walk; arrived at Dockweiler at 10 a.m. Three hours going. At day's end the return transport after BobK left me at Douglas Station (train: Green Line) was 1 1/2 hr, half the going time. (Green Line train to Harbor Freeway bus Silver Line 910 to CSULA).
It was a special dinner; we gave thanks to Frank for sharing his new Condor 330. Earlier in the day we signed Frank's waiver concerning the sharing of his wings and things. We hold him harmless for anything that might happen to us stemming from interfacing with his wings and things.
Some one-way soaring was in some of our flights.
Great time together.
Many spectators. And we deeply answered many questions. Rodney took some key flight videos and will be sending them to Frank. Also an old timer hang glider visitor smiled and indicated he would be visiting again; I am guessing he will be applying for a RHG permit; he has already significant hang glider skills; the visitor had competed against Joe Greblo in a hang glider competition someplace and ended with more points that Joe Greblo.
One lady was disappointed that we did not fly out over the ocean and far away; she expected more than we could deliver. Maybe next time ....

I love doing things around my house. Whether it's weeding, painting, planting….I love doing it all. Very rarely do we hire people to do for us. This weekend found me reveling in my new yard, including weeding and cutting grass. This weekend also found me agonizing over paint colors for both interior and exterior. This included a couple of last minute color changes for a bedroom and a knock on a stranger's door.
Driving to work each day currently, I pass a house that has the color scheme I want. Scott took a picture of it and we proceeded to try to match the colors. After a number of color samples purchased, we weren't close at all to matching the magical colors. I may love to paint, but I find the paint color choice process extremely frustrating. After all, it's a big commitment and not cheap. Scott decided to knock on the door of this house that I want to emulate and asked if they wouldn't mind sharing the name of the colors. The owner took Scott to his garage and let Scott take pictures of each label of the paint cans. Scott thanked him profusely and added, "I'm pretty sure you just saved our marriage!".
|Cute Newt!
In preparation for the paint crew (we ended up hiring a company since the job is huge), we demolished the kitchen counter top.
|Cross training!
Since the cabinets will be painted, it made sense to remove the counter top now. Once we add granite counter top and new hardware to cabinets, I expect this kitchen to go –
No weekend would be complete without a good run. Scott and I ran 15 miles yesterday in the rain. It's hard to focus on running, since we have so many other things tugging at us right now. But there's this matter of a couple of races coming up that require some sufficient training. And the running helps keep the head clear while we tackle the house tasks. So, "doing" continues to include the all important running!

UFL: Global, Stallion XIs try to remain unbeaten
GLOBAL and Stallion try to stretch their unbeaten streak when they tackle separate rivals today in the United Football League at Emperador Stadium in Taguig City.
Coming off its best game of the season, Global guns for its fourth straight victory against a struggling Army side in the 5:15 p.m. kickoff.
On a three-game roll to start the campaign, Stallion collides with a Kaya side still reeling from the sudden resignation of coach Maor Rozen.
Global produced a scintillating display in the 5-1 demolition of Green Archers Globe last Tuesday with Sudanese striker Izzo El-Habbib delivering a brace, increasing his total to three goals this season.
"The team is creating a lot of chances for him (El-Habbib)," said Global coach Brian Reid, who will return to the bench after missing the last two games to attend to personal commitments in Europe.
"Hopefully the goals will help him get his confidence back. If he's fit, he'll definitely be a big part of us."
Army can take a lot of positives from the 1-2 loss to Stallion last Thursday. The Armed Forces side held its ground in the second half and scored a goal even after going down to 10 men.
The Armymen are looking to avoid a third straight loss.
Stallion has hardly looked troubled thus far with its attack, led by Rufo Sanchez and Ruben Doctora, clicking into high gear.
In contrast, Kaya has found difficulty creating scoring chances and has relied mainly on the brilliance of OJ Porteria.

The sweet Lolli I have coloured with copic markers but added other details like the glossy accents on her lolly and hair baubles. Of course she had to have a glittery dress too.
The greeting farm also sell this digi kit with gorgeous patterned cupcake papers and fabulous sticker/buttons to print. I'm really enjoying the digital side of crafting at the moment and have found a great site - Jessica Sprague who has tutorials and free templates... which brings me onto the Anya gift/treat bag...
I used the template in this free kit with the Greeting Farm's papers. both sides have different patterned papers on and I have printed the stickers onto good card and I cut with my circle nestibilities. I tried covering one with glossy accents but I found that it really blurred the ink as it dried, so have only inked the edges!
I have embellished the treat bag with lolli anya coloured as for the card and a couple of tags. The back has a label sticker and I have fixed the top with a brad. The great design means you can open the bag at the bottom.
There is now a sentiment for EACH and EVERY Anya and lots of the Ians...all in One awesome sentiment set! Now...here comes the bonus part. Due to a little manufacturer's "whoopsieee", we are offering this set at the AMAZING price of $10! (there are two "keep rockin' sentiments - nothing else wrong!)

If it does then you should consider booking the Cumberland Hotel for your nuptials.
Catering for weddings that have 40-200 guests, this splendid venue would be perfect for a personalised and sophisticated wedding as it is one of the highest-rated hotels in this famous coastal resort town. All wedding packages at the Cumberland include five bedrooms booked for one night, including a gorgeous bridal suite.
The Oceana Room at the Cumberland Hotel
If you are a lover of art deco then the absolute pinnacle has to be the Oceana Room. The centrepiece of the room is a chandelier that is festooned with over 50,000 crystals which is centred in a huge free-standing dome. This dome has recently been fitted with LED lights, meaning you can bathe the entire room in the colour your choice, perfect for something a bit more quirky than a white wedding. This room can accommodate up to 120 guests for the actual ceremony and 90 guests for the wedding breakfast, alternatively if you would like to hold your evening reception in the Oceana Room the room then you can book a maximum of 130 persons.
The Mirabelle at the Cumberland Hotel
If you would like to hold your wedding breakfast or reception in a setting with a more subtle colour scheme you should consider booking The Mirabelle Room at the Cumberland Hotel. This is an elegant room with rich ebony-clad walls and deep red fabrics to instill your guests with the spirit of romance whilst you celebrate your wedding. This room can accommodate up to 230 guests and has access to the splendid lido deck, its own dance floor and a private bar, all perfect for keeping everyone partying long into the night.
The Ventana Grand Café
Perhaps the most sophisticated room in the Cumberland Hotel in which you can host your wedding reception or breakfast is the Ventana Grand Café. Overlooking the pool this room oozes class and has been awarded a double AA rosette award in recognition of its fine décor and culinary excellence. The Ventana is perfect for drinks receptions, but can also accommodate small wedding ceremonies for up to 30 guests as well as evening parties of up to 120 guests.
Wedding Breakfast Menu
Although the art deco interior and luscious sandy surroundings are truly excellent, they are perhaps matched by the exquisite and wide-ranging food options available for your wedding. Whilst mingling with your guests after the ceremony you can have a couple of glasses of fizzy prosecco or champagne, with delicate butler-passed canapés, which include sweet chilli glazed prawns, hazelnut-encrusted goats cheese with cranberry compote and scallops wrapped in smoked bacon with pesto. You can then choose from a formal 3-course meal or for hot summer days you can have a buffet meal or spit-roasted hog on the lido deck, just keep your fingers crossed that the best man resists the temptation to take a dip in the pool! The buffet food is just as exquisite as the sit-down meal options, with options including wild rice & couscous salads, dressed rib of beef and dressed lobsters. You can even adorn your buffet tables with expertly-carved ice sculptures.
The food options available for a formal 3-course wedding breakfast are truly sublime, for starters you can choose from coastal shrimp salad with locally-caught ingredients, crispy duck with chinese salad or for a more summery theme you could have pulled British pork with chargrilled pineapple and BBQ mayonnaise. The mains you can select include pork loin medallions with celeriac mash and peppered fillet of salmon with a cheeky vodka lime & chilli salsa. The desserts range from rich Baileys creme brulee to delicate seasonal fruit crumbles.
If you would like to view the various wedding breakfast menus please see the price tariff below, where you can also get information about the price of hiring the venue for your ceremony and reception. Furthermore if you want a truly bespoke wedding you can enquire with the hotel about adding your own selections to your menu.

Title: Heartless
Author: Marissa Meyer
Series(?): Standalone
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: November 8th, 2016
Source & Format: Bought on Book Depository, Hardcover
Page Count: 453
Genre: Fantasy Retelling
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland and a favorite of the unmarried King, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, she wants to open a shop and create delectable pastries. But for her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for a woman who could be a queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the King's marriage proposal, she meets handsome and mysterious Jest. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into a secret courtship.
Cath is determined to choose her own destiny. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
Purchase the book!
Heartless was a well-written retelling of the backstory of the Queen of Hearts.
I hate that Heartless is a standalone novel, I wanted so much more from this story. The backstory of the infamous Queen of Hearts, the main villain in Alice in Wonderland was one of trials, tribulations, and terror. It was awesome to see how Cath's character changed throughout in her negative character arc, seeing an innocent girl turn into the Queen of Hearts. Meyer manages to add her own touch to the story, providing a new perspective on the world of Wonderland and enriching it for new readers to explore.
Also, can I take a minute to discuss the loveliness of its nakedness? IT'S LIKE A CHESSBOARD AND IT'S PERFECT. It's perhaps one of my favourite naked book designs that I've seen so far, I'm happy that publishers are finally adding some flair to the naked covers.
It is a dangerous thing to unbelieve something only because it frightens you.
Cath's character was not who I expected it to be at first.
Cath's character is the young Queen of Hearts. I originally thought her character would be something like this:
However, she was full of love, kindness, and dreams. She hopes of opening her own bakery with her best friend, Mary Ann but her mother always seemed to interfere with her plans. I felt that Cath's dream of opening a bakery gave her a more human feel, from her evil counterpart. Throughout, we see Cath in positions of sweetness and hope but as the novel progresses we find herself slipping away as she begins to mature into the woman that is the Queen of Hearts and I supported mostly everything that she did.
I loved how Meyer was able to present Cath as multi-dimensional and exploring her flaws while using them to pursue her character arc further, turning her into the villain that she needed to become.
The cameos from Wonderland were done so well!
Jest was such a cute and mysterious figure who added flair to the story. His personality was adorable and the adventures he brought to Cath were spectacular and definitely reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. One that I'll include is the Mad Hatter's Tea Parties! I was quite surprised with the outstanding portrayal of the tea party in the novel and how well the Mad Hatter was presented as a character, including the backstory to his madness.
But, wouldn't we all want an invitation to one of the Mad Hatter's tea parties? In my dream tea party, there would be green tea and coffee with cake along with biscuits, shortbread, and jelly.
The Cheshire Cat was also a well-written character in Heartless but I'd love to have seen more of him in the novel. We even managed to meet a King of Hearts who was kind, sweet and definitely undeserving of Cath's attitude towards him in the novel. All the King of Hearts wanted to do was make Cath happy. Even though I understand Cath didn't want to marry him, she shouldn't have treated him with such disrespect. Also, Mary Ann, I will feel sorry for Mary Ann always.
The world of Wonderland was both old and new!
I adored reacquainting myself with the world of Wonderland. There were mentions of the Looking Glass, the Vorpal Sword and the foods that change your size. Although you don't have to read Alice in Wonderland, I'd definitely suggest it for the ideal reading experience. It was so exciting to see the world becoming an intricate part of the plot to Heartless and seeing Meyer's take on the whimsical Wonderland play out so well.
One of my favourite parts of the world of Wonderland was perhaps the Treacle Well. Although, I don't think I'd ever want to go there myself because of what happens in the book concerning the Well, haha!
The easiest way to steal something, is for it to be given willingly.
The story was a glorious cup of tea, but I wished the pacing was faster.
Heartless had a wonderful story, full of laughs, upsets, and twists which are true Wonderland fashion. I made the mistake of reading this in school with people watching my reactions. They were quite auditory. I loved the story, and I'm upset about not having a sequel. Although, the ending makes it understandable of why not.
Also, I'm afraid of eating pumpkins now.
However, with Heartless being a standalone novel, the entire story can only be told in one installment. This resulted in parts being quite slow in pace, especially with building up the start of the novel. Although, once we were past the beginning and into the internal plot, the novel improved immensely.
Overall, the book is deserving of a very wonderful 4/5 stars for its multi-dimensional characters and awesome plot of weirdness. I hope to be invited to a Mad Hatter's tea party soon!

Making use of their immense troves of customer data to provide more personalized services is rapidly becoming a necessity for legacy financial institutions (FIs), as customers grow conditioned to expect streamlined customer service and convenience — but it's also one of their biggest challenges, since their outdated systems don't allow for efficient data analysis.
Now, IBM is offering a solution to this problem. This week, it partnered software provider Segmint to integrate the latter's proprietary Key Lifestyle Indicator (KLI) technology into its Customer Insights for Banking (CIB) and Customer Insights for Wealth Management (CIWM) products. The augmented solutions are already available for IBM's FI customers.
The parties say their combined technologies will give FIs greater customer insight. CIB and CIWM use predictive analytics, machine and deep learning, and Watson AI technology to provide bankers and wealth managers with actionable insights they can use to strengthen customer relationships. Segmint's KLI technology analyzes an FI's customer data, such as transactional and behavior patterns, on a highly granular level, building a detailed profile of each customer within minutes.
The parties say combining their technologies will give bankers and wealth managers deeper insight into how customers use their organization's own products, products they hold with competing FIs, and product onboarding pain points. This knowledge, in turn, will enable them to give customers more tailored advice and product offers, as well as improve customer onboarding.
FI staff will likely welcome the new solution, but customers' enthusiasm is less certain. Given most incumbents' inadequacy at deriving meaningful insights from their customer data, demand among these institutions for the enhanced CIB and CIWM solutions is likely to be high. However, there's the possibility that, should FIs choose to leverage customer data to up- or cross-sell products, they might run into customer pushback, especially from clients simply seeking advice or answers to a query. In 2014, for example, ING had to retract plans to offer customers targeted advertisements based on their banking habits. The safest option for FIs onboarding such solutions would probably be to get customers to opt into their data being used in this way.
In an increasingly digital economy, banks are becoming more dependent on efficient data processing to improve customer service and products, and ensure regulatory compliance. But legacy core software systems, implemented decades ago, are letting banks down, and replacing old systems, or "overhauls," is becoming increasingly necessary.
But these software layers are extensive, complex, and foundational, making them costly and notoriously hard to replace. This is deterring most banks from even trying.
However, this is a mistake — banks have to familiarize themselves with the pitfalls and responsibilities system overhauls entail, and use this knowledge to ensure their undertakings stay on track. If this is done, the long-term benefits of a system overhaul will far outweigh its short-term risks.
BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on core banking system overhauls that:
- Looks at how legacy systems' structure, and how it makes effective data handling impossible.
- Explains how new generation core systems are optimized to help banks make the most of their data.
- Gives an overview of how banks should go about moving their organizations to new core systems.
- Discusses the most common risks of overhauls, and how to avoid them to reap the benefits.

Thunder Hole, Acadia National Park
This shows another wave that has crashed into the inlet at Thunder Hole. As you see from looking at the surface of the ocean in the distance, it does not appear terribly rough. However, the tide was such and there may have been a storm further out to sea that raised the ocean level even more.

Aristea Brady –
For most people, it's the limited ability to breathe that scares them about scuba diving. But imagine if you couldn't see while diving.
That's a feat a 25-year-old woman from New Hope has decided to take head-on.
Asha Duncan was born blind. Although she has no ability to see, she hasn't let that stop her from pursuing a life dream.
Most people might find a situation underwater a bit frustrating. Duncan overcomes her frustration with a smile.
Duncan said she first got the idea to scuba dive when she saw the shark tank at the Mall of America on Oct. 18, 2008.
Duncan said being underwater is the one time her heightened sense of hearing goes silent.
"I like the feeling of it, because you're weightless underwater, and you don't hear much sounds. And if you do, you can't really tell where the sounds coming from," Duncan said.
Gary Shaleen is the owner of Fantasea Scuba and Travel in Burnsville. Duncan called Shaleen to see if he'd be willing to teach her.
"It was a no-brainer. Let's do it!," Shaleen said.
During Duncan's final certification test, Shaleen swam close by to offer Duncan assistance.
"So we're just basically right next to each other, following each other along. So, we'll give okay signals, she'll feel my hand, then she'll give okay back, or if we're going to go down or go up, we'll communicate," Shaleen said.

Making the second in this list is the Toshiba 28 inch LED TV.
With the 28W3753DB model plus built-in Freeview, you are able to access to a great variety of media content sources, such as Youtube and Netflix.
More advanced, the wall-mountable flatscreen allows the Toshiba TV lines to be integrated easily into any home. I give this feature A+ for energy efficiency – you now can enjoy watch TV frequently without worrying about the energy costs much.

Sir, Mohamed El-Erian writes: "BoE had already gone beyond consensus expectations… by skillfully combining four elements — an interest-rate cut, a reinvigorated and broadened asset purchase program (QE), a special funding scheme for banks, and effective communication" ,"Bank of England bond-buying needs a fiscal helping hand" August 16.
How sad BoE is not skillful enough to understand that a regulatory distortion of the allocation of bank credit to the real economy is blocking the chances to achieve stronger and more sustainable economic growth.
What distortion do I refer to? The risk weighted capital requirements for banks of course. That which allows banks to leverage equity more with assets perceived as safe than with assets perceived as risky; and thereby that which results in banks earning higher expected risk-adjusted returns on equity on assets perceived as safe, than on assets perceived as risky.
As a result too much of BoE's, and other central banks, and fiscal stimulus, gets to be wasted; by mostly flowing to increase the value of existing assets (stagflation profiteering) and by that way hindering the opportunities of "risky" SMEs and entrepreneurs to gain access to bank credit.
What would happen to UK government borrowings if the sovereign UK, now assigned a zero percent risk weight, had to carry the same risk weight as We the People, 100 percent? To top it up there are many other statist pro-government funding subsidies.
Sir, we have to find a smart way to urgently work our banks out of these regulations, something made difficult by the fact our current bank regulators simply do not know what they are doing. Ask them and you'll see.
Finally, for someone from a country suffering murdering inflation, Venezuela, it is a real shocker having to read highlighted in FT: "Owning a printing press, the BoE faces no funding constraint"

Hi! I was never a full time certified welder but welding was a part of my engineering job and I've done a bit you might say. In fact some welding done by so called "professional welders" I regard as rubbish.
Anyhow in the workshop of the firm that I worked for, a cast iron machine part broke through being overtightened. We had a brazing hearth (not so good since it was converted to natural gas - methane) and we had oxy acetylene. Some old rusty V shaped cast rods also turned up. After vee-ing out the crack the part was heated gently with the old brazing hearth.
Once hot the oxy-acet came into play. The welding rods go pasty and can be pushed into the weld area which becomes pasty with black speckles rather like raspberry jam.
Afterwards the part was kept hot by the brazing hearth to prevent rapid cooling and the flame slowly reduced. Very hot work doing it this way but the part lasted many years until the place closed down. The proper way of doing such jobs was to pack the item in coke or charcoal but we had neither and there was no time to make the box to hold the coke.
