Safety Matters
Technology has penetrated almost every aspect of refining and petrochemical operations, with many believing it has made them safer, more secure and less harmful to the environment. Process automation now more than ever allows workers to perform their duties without even leaving the control room, while smart equipment can deflect, predict and prevent potentially life-threatening situations.
'Adopting technology has brought about a number of health and safety improvements since I started in the industry 30 years ago, and we can see the benefits today," Bernard Sanseau, drilling manager at Total Abu Al Bukhoosh, told RPME.
"Automation brings additional layers of safety. Now it is possible to work remotely from a 'cyber chair'. It is a completely different way of looking at things. At Total Abu Al Bhukoosh, we marked 1000 days without a single Lost Time Incident (LTI) and automation has played an important role." Sanseau added
The oil and gas industry, especially the refining and petrochemical ones, have been known for their conservative approach to adopting new technologies, but those days are long gone now. Both refiners and petrochemical producers are operating under new and much more challenging dynamics, with worker safety, increasing productivity and improving environmental footprint occupying a prominent role within the organisation.
Technology one again is seen as the key enabler to achieve these targets leading operators to drop their scepticism and embrace the latest innovations on the market.
"This is not simply due to the availability of technologies, but also because of the increased capabilities of technology providers to proof test the new technologies more quickly with improved reliability." Said Ghassan Barghouth, vice president, oil & gas and industrial segments, MENA, Schneider Electric.
"Safety and security have always been a top concern for the industry, particularly in terms of ensuring the safety of plant, equipment and people, as well as meeting environmental standards.
"With telecommunication networking at such an advanced stage of saturation on existing platforms, process automation system implemented with safety and security provides immense benefits for operators not only monitor their operations in real-time , but also to perform all necessary controls on remote and unsecure locations from a central hub," Barghouth added.
One of the main causes for accidents is an industrial environment is the lack of understanding when it comes to risk. According to Ken Ume, director of product marketing at Petrotechnics, innovative uses of technology can help operators visualise and better manage operational activity and risk.
"With this kind of technology, organisations explore opportunities for improvement that can easily get lost in the complexity that makes up most modern operational environments. All too often deviation in process safety, where barriers become impaired, can be lost or misunderstood because it is difficult to connect them to daily operations. Deviations in process safety barriers can lead to increased downtime and in the worst cases – to major accidents."
Stuart Douglas, regional manager for Petrotechnics in the Middle East, added: "We have a product called Proscient. It is a software application that brings a common language of risk, or a common view of the risk across an organisation's operations from the frontline activity right up to the board.
It allows everybody to collectively see what the risk is to safety and what the risk is to business. Once you have looked at all that operational common view of risk and made sure you have mitigated it all through your barrier management and so on, it gives an operation a more streamlined process.
On the back of that, what it will do is, it will give the management of an organisation the chance to prioritise maintenance, or what they really need to get done on the plant in a more efficient and safer manner, which again, brings optimal performance and a heavy return on investment."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Santa Clara University junior guard Quinn Thomas hit a baseline three with 18.3 seconds to give the Bronco women's basketball squad a 70-68 victory over San Diego State tonight at Cox Arena in San Diego. The victory ended a six-game losing streak for SCU and closed the non-conference season on a high note. The Broncos overcame an 18-point deficit to improve their record to 4-9 on the season.
The Aztecs were paced by Ashlee Dunlap's 19 points and 10 rebounds, but drop their third straight game to a West Coast Conference team this season and move to 4-8 on the year. San Diego State fell to Saint Mary's (Nov. 21, 52-47) and San Diego (Dec. 10, 65-60) earlier in its non-conference schedule.
Thomas finished with nine points on three second-half three-pointers to celebrate her 21st birthday. Senior Jennie Rondel led the Broncos with 16 points, while freshmen Ashley Graham and Ashley Gonnerman added 14 and 12 points respectively.
Thomas' three with 7:51 remaining gave Santa Clara its first lead of the second half, 60-59. After making only 3-13 from the charity strip Sunday against UT San Antonio, Santa Clara made 5-6 in a 35 second span and led 66-65 with 4:18 remaining.
Neither team scored again heading into the final minute of action. San Diego missed a shot with 50seconds remaining, but Michelle Strawberry earned a steal and a lay-in with 27 second left to give her team a 67-66 lead. Graham pushed the ball up the floor for the Broncos and found Anna Martin on the right win. Martin in turn passed to Thomas on the baseline for the game-winner.
A Bronco foul with 6.6 remaining gave San Diego State hope, and Michelle Elliott made her first shot of the one-and-one. After a time out, Elliott missed her second opportunity, forcing the Aztecs to foul SCU freshman Jenni Gottschalk on the rebound. The freshman forward made one of two free throws in the bonus for the final score.
"This victory is really nice, as it gives us confidence to know that we can win," Thomas said post-game. "I'm already on a natural high because it's my birthday and the extra adrenaline came in handy tonight."
Both teams started strong, with Gonnerman making her first three attempts to help SCU to an early lead. San Diego State recovered and broke a 16-16 tie with back-to-back threes from Elliott for a 22-16 advantage with eight minutes to go until halftime. Elliott and Dunlap had 13 points each for the Aztecs at intermission, as the home squad shot .586 from the field en route to a 39-27 lead at the half.
Second-action saw San Diego move up by 18, but a 10-3 Bronco run, capped by a Rondel three-point play, pulled the Broncos pull within 10, 55-45 with 11:36 remaining. Santa Clara followed with Graham's fourth three of the game, and two fast-break baskets by Rondel pulled Santa Clara within five, 57-52 with 9:32 on the clock.
The Broncos then made 5-6 from the charity stripe to keep the charge alive and finished the night 13-16 from the charity stripe, good for 81.3 percent.
Santa Clara travels to face San Francisco in the West Coast Conference opener for both teams on Saturday at War Memorial Gym. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Best In Show…
Back from a 7 day holiday and I have to say my small suburban garden has grown more than I ever expected. The red jasmine is in need of a trim, the lobelias are beginning to flower, a couple of petunias have decided to blossom, but the winner of 'best in show' award goes to my Miracle Gro flower magic mix!
There's several stocks, californain bluebells and alyssum and a lot of foliage which I assume will eventually burst into flower if we ever see some sunshine.
The lack of ladybirds (have yet to see a single one this year) has meant blackfly is rife on my poor cherry tree and I've had to remove most of it's leaves.
The geraniums remain unimpressive (a sign of cold/wet/dull weather) but I'm hopeful that they'll be glorious late-comers. Time will tell….

Developing Water Sources for Individual Water Systems (IWS)
Individual Water Systems
Santa Cruz County has established standards for safe and adequate water supplies for individual water systems that ensure that such systems do not induce contamination of aquifers and therefore jeopardize the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Individual water system means any combination of water sources, storage facilities and related appurtenances which provides domestic water service to either:
(1) A single parcel under one ownership with not more than four dwelling units or other permitted land uses on the parcel;
(2) Up to four parcels, if:
(a) All parcels served are either contiguous with one another or are contiguous with the parcel on which the water source is located; provided, that public or private rights-of-way shall not be taken into consideration in determining contiguity; and
(b) The water source(s) is located on one of the parcels served; and
(c) Each parcel owner has not less than a one-quarter interest in the water system (source, facilities and appurtenances) and a sufficient legal interest in the land upon which it is located to guarantee access thereto and a right to the use thereof; and
(d) All of the parcels taken together have a total of no more than four dwelling units or other permitted land uses existing on them.
Before you may proceed with development of a property dependent on an individual water supply, you must apply for and obtain an Individual Water system Permit.

Constantine the Great was the first Roman Emperor who was a Christian; with the exception of perhaps a single of his successors, he would be the first Christian leader in a long line of eventual leaders.
Prior to Constantine's rise to power Christians were a persecuted sect in the Roman Empire. Though the Roman Empire did not care if its citizens identified as a religious force, it did care, in its pagan days, about ritual. What this meant was that people were free to worship—or abstain from worship—who they wanted as long as they did, at least on paper, uphold and ritually worship the Roman gods.
Why was this Roman policy? It can be chalked up to an insurance policy.
Roman religion, heavily focused on ritual, saw deference to the Gods as vital. For example, if one properly performed the rituals of praise to the Roman gods, then instead of pestilence and disaster, the gods would grant the performer bountiful harvests and personal fortune. So, if we take this and multiply it on a large scale, Roman policy forcing everyone to ritually worship the gods, was a kind of pseudo-economic policy aimed at curating favor with the divine.
An interesting set of historical minutia is that though both Christians and Jews were equally hostile to ritually worshipping the Roman gods, the Romans were far harder on the Christians than the Jews, despite there being several large-scale Jewish revolts. Why? Because Romans had a profound respect for all things old; whereas Judaism was very old even during the times of the Romans, and this deserving of respect, Christianity, on the other hand, was new—a novelty—and so it lacked the ability to protect itself from Roman persecution.
During this time in Roman history, Christianity is an urban religion. Because peasantry are so inaccessible to missionaries, it is difficult for preachers to convert the rural dweller. Likewise, because early Christianity would only have an appeal to those who are, in some manner, marginalized from Roman society and culture, the early converts to Christianity would only in the rarest of circumstance be from the well-off sector of society.
Women, for instance, are disproportionality represented in early Christian sects; slaves and freed slaves; immigrants, wolvers and wanderers… are among the social groups which respond well to the Christian message. Early Christianity was the socialization of the underclass; no one needed an advanced education in order to understand its tenants and premise (Roman intellectuals, in fact, would 'turn up their noses' at its intellectual core when they saw that it was written in this low-brow Greek). Social distinctions do not matter in early Christianity and so it has a radical edge in its content when theologically it espouses that the soul of an emperor is the same as that of a slave.
Early Christianity up-ended much of Roman society. For example, Roman society saw love of honor as a social benefit: if you pursue honor, if you emblazon your built baths and aqueducts in big, bold letters honoring your contribution to the social sphere, then it would ultimately benefit society as a whole. Christians, however, saw love of honor as pride and so as a sin. Likewise, in another way that Christianity upended Roman culture, was its view of poverty; Roman culture ascribed no virtues to being poor. Being poor simply meant being poor. Early Christian dogma, however, saw poor people as spirituality able to enter the kingdom of God in the afterlife, and so special value was projected onto poverty. What Christian theology promoted, in other words, was a sense of community and togetherness at a time where many Roman social groups on the fringe of acceptability were struggling to find their place in a social vacuum.
Emperor Taejon put forward a policy to dampen the bloodletting of Christians. Before his time, it was official policy to hunt down and execute Christian cultists. However, after his rise to power and subsequent passage of laws which refused the ability of Roman officials to persecute Christian cultists, what transpired was that Christians could only be executed if they were known without a doubt to be Christian and had publically announced their status as Christian. Indeed, from 260 to 302 there is no Roman persecution of Christianity and Christians greatest threat comes from the pagan majority whom would occasionally launch pogroms against the Christian community should crops fail or other such misfortune befall their town.
By 305, however, persecution of Christians had returned full-throttle. Provincial governors were encouraged to kill a certain quota of Christians while people were promised tax breaks for their assistance in the killings. By the time of Constantine, his conversion to Christianity was an unlikely event; convinced that it was his painting of a cross on his soldiers' shields which led him to military victory, he becomes convinced of Christianity's superiority and in 312 issues an edict of forgiving regarding Christianity. Though his Western Imperial counterpart would forego his edict, it would become official policy once he conquered the whole Empire.

We know and understand the boat, motorcycle and RV insurance market. This allows us to provide you with the best possible combination of pricing, coverage and service.
North Bay RV Insurance Rates
RV insurance rates differ from company to company, so it really pays to have us shop your insurance. Some markets offer better rates for trucks, RV and campers, while others can offer better rates for motorcycles.
How To Save On Toy Insurance
There are many things you can do to keep your auto rates at the lowest level possible.
Review your deductibles. According to the Insurance Information Institute, raising your deductible to $2,500 could reduce your Collision and Comprehensive costs by 15 to 20 percent.
Look for discounts. There are many different discounts offered by insurance companies. These include multi-policy, good student, and more.
The kind of RV, boat or motorcycle you own can have an impact on the insurance costs. Do some research about a RV, before you buy it.
Is your coverage appropriate based on the type of RV you have? If you have an older RV it may benefit you to consider raising your collision deductibles.
Get your policy up to date. Have you experienced changes like a new address, divorce or marriage? Call us for a policy review.

The ArduPilot development team is proud to announce the release of version 3.0.1 of APM:Rover. This is a minor release with small but important bug fix changes.
The two main motivations for this release
1. Fixing the arming for skid steering Rovers
2. Fix to the rover steering that should really improve steering of all rovers.
Fixed arming for Skid Steering rovers. You should now be able to arm your skid steering rover using the steering stick. NOTE skid steering Rovers - you will not be able to disarm. The reason for this is zero throttle full left turn is a perfectly valid move for a skid steering rover as it can turn on the spot. You don't want to be executing this and have the rover disarm part way through your turn so we have disabled disarming via the steering stick. You can still disarm from the GCS. Thanks to Pierre Kancir for working on this.
For historical reason's the steering controller was using the raw GPS data for ground speed without any filtering. If you have every graphed this data you will see on a rover its very spiky and all over the place. This spiky'ness was feeding into the lateral accel demand and causing inaccuracies/jitters. Now we using the EKF GPS filtered data which is much smoother and accurate and the steering control has greatly improved.
Previously when corning we didn't take into account any "lean or tilt" in the rover - we assumed the turns were always flat. We have changed this to now take into account any lean so turning should be more accurate. Boat users should really benefit from this too.
See this post by Tridge -
The other changes in this release are:
Thanks to everyone who helped on the release.

Thanks Grant. Cheers.
David R. Boulanger
Nice work Grant and crew, much appreciated.
Great work,
Just setting up my XMaxx for it.
The improved steering should be a great help.
Best Regards,
Arduchair!! Maybe the code in the future will allow for fire extinguisher assisted boost.
Good job again. I'll be taking the boat out tomorrow.

The chair is my spare office chair also know as mobile work bench :-)
Thanks, Grant.

text: Third-party funding market diversifiesFocus on: Litigation Funding July 31, 2017|Written By Judy van Rhijn What has been a small industry to date is growing as the Canadian litigation funding market sees new entrants and the restructuring of existing players. Competitors are embracing starkly different models, which presents claimants and lawyers with the challenge of fitting the right type of funding to the right case. "We've been a bit slower than England and the U.S. to get into third-party funding," comments Paul Michell of Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP of Toronto. "We have had a few homegrown players, but now there are lots of conferences and promotional materials that show international groups are moving into the area." Lincoln Caylor of Bennett Jones LLP of Toronto has been surprised how aggressively the litigation funders have moved into Ontario, given the size of the market. "There has been an uptick in interest from potential funders. IMF Bentham is physically here and other big players are giving road shows to large firms," he says. "Even leading funders in London and New York say it's still early days there, too, but those jurisdictions have many big cases. We don't have many significant claims to meet their requirements." David Smagata, vice president and chief legal officer of DAS Canada, welcomes the increase in competition. "It is sometimes lonely being the only voice. Having more competitors drives up awareness," he says. "People hear a chorus louder than a single voice." DAS, as a litigation insurance company, and Bridgepoint Financial Services Inc., as a litigation indemnity company, have been on the frontlines in Ontario from the beginning, along with private law firms that offered financing and indemnities. The market for indemnities has effectively now been closed by an FSCO ruling last year. The ruling said that legal cost protection, a product offered for purchase by Bridgepoint Indemnity Company (Canada) Inc., met "the criteria to be classed as insurance pursuant to the Insurance Act." The ruling also said that "no person shall carry on business as an insurer or engage in an act constituting the business of insurance in Ontario without a licence under the Act." John Rossos, chairman and CEO of Bridgepoint, says the ruling has changed the marketplace. "Any private indemnity or legal cost protection must now be tied to a regulated insurance product. Lawyers can't provide an indemnity to their clients because they are not licensed insurers," he says. Bridgepoint has met FSCO's requirements and is now underwritten by Omega General Insurance Company. It has redesigned its products as insurance policies. "We have a personal injury product that offers blanket cover to a law firm, and a similar class action product that is being introduced as we speak," advises Rossos. "They offer law firms umbrella coverage that prequalify the firm's cases. If they fit within the parameters of the coverage, they are automatically accepted." Rossos says this approach creates efficiency, particularly for class action litigation. "We do due diligence on the law firm instead of spending six or seven months investigating each underlying case," he said. "The law firm has the knowledge that it has finance and insurance in place, and we can ensure the lowest rates and full protection." In contrast, DAS offers insurance for adverse costs and disbursements on individual personal injury cases. "It covers the worst-case scenario where the client thought they had a very good case but failed to persuade the judge," explains Dominique Zipper, the ATE manager of DAS Canada. "We take the financial blow. The premium is not payable if they lose. They are foolproof products." There are several other firms now offering after-the-event or plaintiff protection insurance. There is also a new player in the market offering a distinct product called litigation funding. Tania Sulan, chief investment officer of Bentham Canada, distinguishes her firm's offerings from the insurance model. "We operate in a different space. We focus on complex commercial cases and arbitrations — big breach of contract matters, breach of duty, intellectual property disputes and litigation that flows out of an insolvency event," she says. "Our primary focus is funding the lawyer fees and lawyer costs through a monthly hourly bill. Ancillary to that, we cover disbursements and court-ordered costs. It's a different beast." Sulan is reporting a lot of interest from Canadian law firms. "People are very curious how it fits with their practice." There are also foreign-based litigation funding businesses targeting the Canadian market, mainly operating out of the U.S. or U.K. All this diversity means that claimants and their lawyers are now faced with the choice of which model to partner with. For the future, there is a general expectation of expansion in terms of market size, jurisdictions covered and the variety of options, as well as increased pressure for regulations and professionalization of the market.

if every home in india has a wet latrine or toilet, it'd also mean that every home has access to piped water. if every home has piped water, it could also mean that there is less water for agriculture (from accessible surface water sources). less water for agriculture would mean less emphasis on such water-guzzling crops as rice. if there is less emphasis on such crops as rice and wheat, it'd also mean that such food- security enthusiasts as p.sainath and m.s.swaminathan would have to pack their bags and go home to obscure radio shows in america.
that could be one reason why the poor indian state can't ensure that every home in india has a wet latrine. it wants to follow the ancient prescription that the ruler/s should not harass poor brahmins.
more reasons later. meanwhile, please read this interesting post and discussion on manual scavenging.
one reason why india needs manual scavengers

Forever 21 top | H&M jeans | Zara bag | Melissa heels
Last week I guested on the Myx Daily Top Ten alongside Nicole Asensio to promote PhilPop 2014. We were told we could wear anything and so I decided to go for a very simple and comfortable look. A plain white top and blue jeans are probably the most commonly combined pieces of clothing ever and no one can ever be blamed for that. Nothing spells comfort better than a plain white tee and a pair of jeans. As for my shoes, it's completely crazy how you can forget about something you used to love so much and then love it just as much when it's found or seen again. I've had this pair of heels since I was 17 and I can't believe I haven't used them since then! Especially since they are so perfect for the random crazy rainy days Manila's been having.

Here are some of my favorite images of 2009.
The first two are from Lori and Bryan's wedding shoot from the last post. First of all, I am totally in love with this mural by Waseem Touma, I just love it's colors and lines. For this shot there just happened to be a pile of leaves there and I asked Lori and Bryan to just start tossing them at each other. Lori was really into it and I just love the huge smile on her face as she whips the leaves unexpectedly into Bryan's face.
For this shot we were very near to Gratz Park. We ran into 3 other photographers in the area who were with other couples and it was no wonder, the lighting was so perfect. Again, Lori looks so happy!
This shot was near the end of my 1-year photo shoot with Elena. I think she was trying to tell us that she'd have enough of the camera and that she was ready to go home.
Chelsea and Ben's engagement session. Ben dipped Chelsea and they both came up laughing. It was great.
From Christia and Kris's wedding. It's great when a couple is so oblivious to everything else and they are in their own little world.
From Ashley and Andy's wedding where I was a second shooter for Kara Leigh, A great exit photo.
From Robin and Ryan's wedding. During dinner I caught this bridesmaid with her husband being so very sweet. One of my favorite moments of the day, I was so so glad that I was able to catch this moment without them noticing the camera.
From Tara and Ron's wedding. I was on stage with the DJ taking pics of the crowd when I got this shot. The lights from the DJ's booth helped illuminate them as they danced and created the cool red color.
Another from Robin and Ryan's wedding. Getting back to the hotel room 2 hours late from her hair appointment to get ready for her wedding didn't stress Robin out as she laughs amongst all the hustle and bustle in her room. I think this was probably the most people I've ever seen in a single room. There are about 6 others outside the frame of this photo, not including myself. Everyone was great and I found myself really wanting to hang out with them after the wedding.
In August I flew up to Minneapolis to attend the {enjoy} wedding photography workshop. Erin Johnson, the photographer, brought in a couple for all of the attendees to photograph in the afternoon. I want this orange door for my house!
Although people have said to me that they think this is a little creepy I just love this photo from Tiffany and Josh's engagement session in downtown Frankfort.
One from my personal collection. Being so far away from my family, I pretty much miss all of the major events in my neice and nephews life. For Will's first haircut my sister waited until I was home for a visit. The deed is almost done in this picture but you can see that Will still isn't to keen on the scissors in my sister-in-laws hands.
2010 looks to be another exiting year. I look forward to sharing it with you!

We had been waiting the best part of ten years, through many false starts it was finally off the ground. Back in the day when the Geelong Speed Trials was a regular occurrence, we as a Club had always put on a display and thought "One of these days we should get of our ***** and enter the racing." And in 2003 we did, only for it to be the last…
And so, earlier in the year with much fanfare it was announced that the Geelong Revival would be running at in December of this year. It didn't take us long to get on board to find out when Entries would be opening. We ended up with six Club Members competing on the Saturday (Ross in his XY Fairmont GS, Wiggy in his XD Fairmont Ghia, Pa in the 65 Mustang, Adam in a 66 Mustang, Ken in his Daytona and myself in the XB GT) with Ken especially keen running on Sunday in his Jaguar D-Type Replica also.
We all arrived at the Pits early Saturday morning ready for scrutineering which was pretty straight forward, fitting Racing Numbers and taping over Battery Terminals followed by the Drivers briefing, we were all set to go.
Practice first up and we soon discovered how slippery the track was. Most of us were having bad wheel spin in first and second Gears, with Pa going close to setting a record for a Single Spinner Burnout.....
After a break watching the other Classes have their turn, we were back on the Track. Most peoples times improved over the course of the day as they got use to the surface and the curve. Ken was getting frustrated with his times and decided to give it one last squirt with the Traction Control turned off to see if he could get out of the hole faster. It worked a treat with his getting down to 12.3 seconds giving him the Class Win.
The atmosphere in the Pits was good with everyone friendly and up for a chat weather they were in a Mini, Monaro or Bugatti. By five thirty the racing was done and time head home for the day. Getting out wasn't the night mare everyone was expecting with a nice orderly procession towards the City.
Early Sunday we met up at Rippleside for the trip in to the Show & Shine. Parking inside proved to be a little tedious with us being asked to move after everyone had setup. The end result was quite a few Burnouts trying to get up a Hill with very lush grass. We were joined by our friends from the Falcon GT Club of Australia who made their way down from Melbourne for the day.
Once we were settled in we had a look around. Cars were everywhere, all the way from Cunningham Pier to the end of Eastern Beach. A fantastic display with plenty of other activities to keep people interested.
Ken was at it again on the track with the Jag, pulling a best of 14.6 seconds.
Once again, at the end of the day it was an orderly process for everyone to get out and head home. In all a great weekend and I look forward to doing it all again next year.
Many thanks for Nicholas Heath and Scott Pigdon and their team for a fantastic weekend.

Last session we looked at a Ferdinand Carulli prelude. I have been sorting through and editing a great deal of Carulli, Sor, Coste and Giuliani -- the early pedagogists and masters of the guitar. Like I said last time, these guys knew the instrument and knew how to write educational compositions that are both enlightening as well as entertaining.
Below is a small piece from the Carulli Method simply entitled 'Andante'. It is totally unfingered. You must add your own right and left hand fingerings. In an appendix to my method, I have another copy of the piece with my fingering suggestions. Once the you have completed fingering the piece, you can compare their efforts with my suggestions.
The left hand is very, very straight forward. Note measure 36. Here I would play the D with the third finger and the B with the first, leaving the fourth finger free for the F# later in the measure and making a good set up for measure 37. That is a good example of how one must approach the left hand in this piece -- always conscious of where the music is going, not just where you're sitting at the moment.
Right hand? I would recommend that the student tries it two (maybe more) ways. First, the natural p for bass notes with i and m plucking the treble/thirds portions. Second, try combinations of i and a and m and a for some variety Keep the thumb working the bass notes though. Of course, some combinations will not work in some measures, but, hey, get creative.

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Problems for learners of english in SpainIn Spain the problems that arise from teaching english can be divided into pronunciation difficulties, vocabulary, grammar, spelling and punctuation as well as the cultural and geographical differences. Pronunciation Difficulties. The main problems arise from the difference between the two languages phonetics. spanish has 5 vowels and 5 diphthongs, while english has 12 vowel sounds and 8 diphthongs. Just the other day I was in class observing and the younger students had trouble with the word "comfortable." They couldn't say the word without pronouncing "table" the way it normally sounds on its own. With some drilling they soon learnt the difference but then "vegetable" popped up. They all said "table" the same way it usually sounds on its own. This and many other examples produce problems that unless are looked up in a dictionary for the phonetics or drilled using repetition and other exercises are easily made but with practice are
learnt over time. Vocabulary Difficulties. There is a lot of similar words that exist between spanish and english, some helpful and some confusing. These false cognates such as "carpeta" and "carpet" the first meaning folder in spanish and the second meaning that warm fluffy stuff english users put on there floors can create problems. In spanish "alfromba" is the fluffy texture on our floors, these and many other words in my daily life cause funny moments but also headaches (my wife is spanish, I speak very little of the language, she's speaking better english everyday). In the classroom when two similar words that have the same meaning arise its a bonus as these words are absorbed very quickly into the students vocabulary. Example words "falso" in
spanish, and "false" in english make for quicker learning, and can be used in fun activities in the classroom. Grammar Difficulties. The hardest thing for me learning spanish is the structure of simple sentences. This can be reversed for spanish learners of english. Talking to friends In english here, I constantly hear the wrong order of words. "You do surfing?", is a common mistake and the spanish equivalent "¿tu surfeas?" where literally translated means "you surf?" The english subject-verb-object order is commonly mixed up with spanish word order. This is one example, there are many others to delve
into. Spelling and Punctuation Difficulties. The way english words are spelt create many problems for native spanish speakers. The different ways we spell the same sound such as "much" and "touch," with the large number of vowel sounds and diphthongs making it troublesome also. The way they write questions (using double ¿ - ? at the beginning an end of questions) appears in there english punctuation. When double letters appear such as "chatter" it is often written as "chater" because of they way it would sound to them when said aloud. The use of "ll" in spanish to create a "y" sound often causes problems when they relate it to english using "ll." Cultural and Geographical Difficulties. Depending on where you are in Spain can greatly assist or hinder your progress in teaching english. When in bigger cities a lot more students
are exposed to english but this greatly depends on the individuals situation. Some people are shy, some don't meet foreigners for whatever reason this may be. I live in the Basque country where the younger generation mainly speak the Basque language. No matter how much spanish I learn its still impossible for me to get my head around their language, its completely different. This makes explaining simple things to very young students very difficult, and the use of gestures and imagery come into play more so than with native spanish students. But saying this the town is very tourist driven and therefore they are exposed to a little english, and most speak spanish too, so they´re already bi-lingual and have a higher learning curve with a new language such as english. In summation, the english
learners in a country such as Spain with english speaking European countries relatively nearby, makes it easier for learners than say a New Zealander learning spanish in New Zealand. Exposure to the language is the most important thing. Subconsciously learning by listening and having to use the language for communication. I know of a man from Senegal (native language is french) living in my town, who in one year living on the streets with no formal study is fluent in Basque, spanish, and gets by in english. Where as most spanish don't and won't speak french. Problems can be overcome by need and desire, and letting go of cultural barriers.

Player Ratings: RC Lens 1-1 Arsenal
With a number of Arsenal's big hitters unavailable for the club's first game of pre-season, which players were able to step up and make a case for themselves in their absence?
Match Report: RC Lens 1-1 Arsenal
Emiliano MARTINEZ: 6
The Argentinian stopper was back in the Arsenal net after spending last season on loan at Wolves and found himself relatively untested in the 45 minutes he was afforded here. Ironically, his best moment of the game came in the lead up the Lens' goal, as it was his reflex save that unfortunately allowed the ball to fall into the path of Matias Autret for the opener. He won't be discouraged though.
Mathieu DEBUCHY: 7
The forgotten man of Arsenal's defence was arguably the best player for the away side in the first half, as his consistent desire to get forward and play well-timed passes to Theo Walcott down the right flank was about as dangerous as any Arsenal player looked during the first 45. It remains to be seen whether or not he will still be at the club come August but he at least reminded some that he's still here for the time being.
Per MERTESACKER (c): 6
Arsenal's new skipper for the upcoming season had a relatively quiet game and enjoyed a characteristically low-key performance. That said, on more than one occasion his famed lack of pace was exposed and a quicker player might have been able to do more to prevent the Lens goal.
Calum CHAMBERS: 5
After two seasons of struggling to make an impression on the first-team Chambers will be desperate to do so in 2016/17, but today was not a good start for the young man. He looked shaky alongside Mertesacker at centre-back and was easily turned by a Lens attacker in the first half before a mistimed header allowed the opposition to score later on. To his credit, he recovered well in the second half after being moved to the right-back position.
Nacho MONREAL: 6
The Spaniard has made a reputation for himself as one of the most consistent players in the Arsenal defence and he had a solid first half here, although on occasion he did find himself out of position and he struggled to match Debuchy's attacking prowess on the opposite flank.
Francis COQUELIN: 7
Having been left out of France's squad for Euro 2016, Francis Coquelin seems to have made the most of his summer by maintaining his fitness level as he looked like one of the best players out there for Arsenal today. Despite this only being a friendly he covered a lot of ground and made a number of the tough tackles that have made him such a fan favourite.
Mohamad ELNENY: 6
A pretty standard day at the office for the Egyptian midfielder who played the quiet and tidy game that he so often does although he certainly has some way to go before approaching match fitness.
Theo WALCOTT: 5
With Danny Welbeck out injured for the foreseeable future, Olivier Giroud recovering from the Euros and no new striker looking to be arriving any time soon, there's a strong chance that Theo Walcott will be starting up front against Liverpool on the opening day of the new season. He looked poor in this game though, with some poor touches on the right-flank making him ineffective in the first half and in the second he was marked out of the game when played through the middle.
Alex IWOBI: 6
The Nigerian enjoyed the central position he occupied on more than one occasion in the absence of Mesut Ozil and showed glimpses of why Arsene Wenger put so much faith in him last season, although some nice touches aside he struggled to make a real impact when attacking the Lens defence.
Jeff REINE-ADELAIDE: 6
The man affectionally known as "The Jeff" was given a starting berth against the club he signed from last summer, and came the closest to scoring out of any Arsenal player in the first half when he cut inside and bent his shot just wide of the post after linking well to Iwobi. A tight Lens defence kept him quiet for the most part though and he'll need to show more in future friendlies if he's to break into the first-team picture next season.
Chuba AKPOM: 5
After a mixed spell on loan at Hull City last season, Chuba Akpom returns to Arsenal once more to make him claim in pre-season matches but he looked badly off the pace here for the most part. He hit a tame shot at the goalkeeper in the opening few minutes and then struggled to do anything of note for the rest of the half, although the service into him left a lot to be desired. Not the impact he'll have wanted to have made.
Matt MACEY (on 45): 6
Had barely anything to do but did make one great reflex save from a powerful volley sent his way from outside of the box.
Krystian BIELIK (on 45): 6
The midfielder-come-defender was given a chance at the back and looked relatively tidy for the most part, although Lens barely troubled the defence in the second half.
Kieran GIBBS (on 45): 7
Did well in the second half after replacing Monreal at half-time, offering more attacking impetus down the left flank.
Alex OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN (on 45): 8 – MOTM
Undoubtedly Arsenal's man-of-the-match with an energised and lively second-half display culminating in the deftest of chips to earn his side a draw. It was clear today that he feels like he has something to prove this season and he couldn't have asked for a better start.
Serge GNABRY (on 45): 7
The German playmaker has had a tough couple of seasons with injuries and disappointing loan spells, but he made a decent case for himself here with a tidy display that ended in a nice assist for Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal.
Joel CAMPBELL (on 45): 6
Despite rumours linking him with a move away from the club the Costa Rican has said he is determined to stay and fight for his place, although he will be disappointed with his display here that saw him misplace a number of passes and struggle to make an impact.
Gedion ZELALEM (on 78): N/A
After a loan spell at Rangers this season Zelelam will likely go out again for the upcoming season and was given little chance to show off his skills here, although he did make a couple of well-executed through balls.
Chris WILLOCK (on 78): N/A
One of the youth team's brightest stars was given a brief run out here and even with little time to demonstrate his potential he did what was asked of him well with some nice touches and good running.

Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical returns to celebrate ten years of the multi-million selling albums that inspired the Olivier Award-nominated musical.
The show will visit the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield from March 27-April 1 as part of its nationwide tour.
Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the writers behind TV classics Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, The New Statesmen and Shine On Harvey Moon, the show features classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury, and many more.
Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical is produced by Bill Kenwright and Laurie Mansfield in association with Universal Music. Tickets are now on sale.
Set in 1961, emotions are running high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition – and, more importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue! But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock'n'roll fame beckons.
The dazzling success of the first five albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over 4 million copies sold and several weeks at the Number One spot in the compilation charts, the Great British public were saying that they didn't just want to listen to pure nostalgia: they'd love to see it as well.
Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling CD albums Dreamboats and Petticoats One, Two, Three, Four and Five, the West End sell-out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical features some of the greatest hit songs of the Rock 'n' Roll era.

Cody Elementary | 5th Grade
My name is Mackenzie Carstens. I'm originally from Grand Island, and graduated from Grand Island Senior High.

I believe that every child can learn and deserves the right to my best instruction. Learners who enter my room aren't just students, we become a family that trusts one another. I hope that high expectations and learning from mistakes allows students to become their best.

Craving a fresh and flavorful summer dinner right from the grill? Start with easy to grow herbs! They give your favorite grilling recipes and classic cocktails rich and delicious flavors. Nothing says summertime like a watermelon mojito and mango bruschetta! Or compound butter and herb-infused marinades! Check out our tips and recipes below for a fun, garden-fresh approach to cooking with herbs and veggies.
Bruschetta is an easy crowd-pleaser, and with a dash of mango salsa and lime, you can take this classic Italian favorite and infuse a bit of multi-cultural flavor for a delicious, fresh bite.
Makes 18-20 pieces
1 loaf of French bread
A handful of Arugula (preferably home-grown)
8-9 oz of fresh mozzarella, pre-cut or a log if preferred
Cherry or grape tomatoes
1 mango
Sweet Basil, or Cilantro (for a twist)
Balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and Pepper to season
Using a serrated knife, slice the French bread into ½ inch wide slides. Place on a festive plate. Place a small bit of arugula on every piece of bread, or spinach if desired. Thinly slice mozzarella and place two pieces on each piece of bread. Repeat this process with the tomatoes, layering 2-3 pieces per slice. Dice the mango into cubes and scoop a heaping pile atop each slice. Squeeze the juice of 2-3 limes over the bread. Drizzle balsamic as well. Then, garnish with sweet basil or cilantro for a twist. Season with salt and pepper and Cayenne if you're feeling gutsy. Try adding shallots, chives or jalapeños too! Refrigerate until ready to serve
A classic and wonderful trio is rosemary, sage, and thyme. Highly aromatic, these herbs can be used in a marinade to flavor beef, pork, lamb, and fish. The method is very simple: mix oil with herbs and lemon juice, wine or vinegar. Marinate the meat in the liquid until the flavor is absorbed. Or, thread leaves of sage between chunks of beef or lamb in kebobs for an aesthetic, tasty flare.
Adding herbs to grilled shrimp is fast and easy. Simply mix oregano and thyme, either the standard uprights of the English or French variety, with oil and lemon juice. Brush atop the shrimp as they grill for a delicious glaze. Also, the swollen base of Florence fennel (a celery-like vegetable) is fabulous grilled!
Flavored butters enhance grilled corn and other grilled vegetables and are wonderful on seafood, steaks, and chicken. Dill, parsley, basil, chives and tarragon are very popular in making herb butters. Just combine fresh herbs with softened butter and salt and pepper. Spread some on any of your grilled veggies, meats, fish or bread.
Makes about 1/2 cup (equivalent of 1 stick)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup finely chopped mixed herbs (such as basil, thyme, sage, parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, oregano, marjoram or rosemary)
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well until herbs are evenly distributed. Dump onto a piece of waxed paper or parchment, shape into a cylinder or disk, and seal ends by twisting or packing into a ramekin (however you prefer to store and serve it) and cover it with plastic. Chill in refrigerator until firm, at least an hour. Will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks and in the freezer a few months.
Keep cool with beverages flavored with herbs. Use lemon balm or lemon verbena to flavor your water or iced tea. You can also freeze herbs in ice cubes for a colorful and flavorful treat. Borage, especially the blue flowers, and salad burnet are traditionally added to summer drinks. And, for a spirited kick, try this watermelon mojito recipe.
Makes 6-8 drinks, relatively
2-2 ½ pounds of seedless watermelon (for muddling and garnish)
A whole lot of spearmint or mojito mint (both are found at The Growing Place
White rum (a pint or a fifth)
Juice of 2 limes, cut into finger-sized portions
Simple syrup or sugar (a bottle or a bag)
2 liters of soda water
Take your pre-bought watermelon and reserve part of it for scooping and making watermelon balls for the garnish. Take the remainder of your watermelon and cut it into chunks for muddling. Take 3-4 chunks of watermelon and 5-6 leaves of spearmint and put them into the bottom of a Collins or pint glass. Now, add 1 ½ ounces (one shot) of white rum. Muddle the watermelon, mint and white rum – infusing the alcohol lightly. Add 1 ounce of simple syrup, which you can make at home by boiling equals parts sugar and water and then allowing to cool. Or, simply add 2 teaspoons of sugar during the muddling process to grind the sugar down. Then, add ice to the top of the glass. Top the glass off with soda water. Finish with the juice of two limes, drop them in the glass. Add your scooped watermelon ball onto a cocktail skewer and voila! Try making a pitcher at your next party!

The Art of Simplification…
As we close in on another year, It seems that there is a lot reflection during this time of year; about life, career and space, whether it is a work space or home. I think that many people use this year end period as a time for simplification to de-clutter their minds and spaces in anticipation of the new year, a fresh start. What better place to start that in the space where you live. The home provides shelter, comfort and functionality. There is a newer movement towards sustainability and simplicity especially in an urban setting. With space already at a minimum and also increasingly costly, urban dwellers have looked to a new way to live in smaller spaces and use design elements to help them achieve the optimum use of their home.
As an Architect/ Designer living in New York City, one of the largest and most crowded cities on this planet, I use my sense of perception and imagination to create fully functional homes in any space, whether large or small. This is a challenge, and an opportunity to use my design vision and skills to bring to my Client a new way to live in their home. I first assess what their needs are for their home; what rooms they use the most and an important question…storage. Is that a concern for them? Creating a harmonious space that looks uncluttered and simple utilizes the building of storage spaces that can provide need organization in a home.
Whether it be a single person, couple or a family with children storage is always important. I like clean spaces, effortless rooms that look lived in but not overdone. How can I create a space that is perceived to be larger, when the square footage is not? This is where a Designer who understands space can create a home that suits their client and exceeds expectation.
Simplification is cleansing, especially in a home. Our lives are so fast paced; we do not have time to breathe sometimes. When we simplify our space, we simplify our life. We reflect on what we really need to live and what is important. We prioritize. In a large city where overcrowding is the norm, simplification is key to an enriched quality of life. I think it is something we can learn from and makes us resilient, and knowing that we are not tied to possessions, we can realize what is important.

It goes without saying that the age-old tradition of wearing something blue for your wedding is still going strong today. While adding the old, the new, and the borrowed can be fun, you can be especially creative when it comes to that something blue. From the traditional to the unique, here are some ways to incorporate beautiful bridal blue into your wedding ensemble — and where to find them in San Francisco.
Perhaps one of the most popular and effortless ways to incorporate blue into your look is with a piece of jewelry. Elle-Meme in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a cozy boutique featuring vintage costume and fine gems in a range of hues, such as sapphire, lapis, and aquamarine. If you're seeking something new and blue, check out Azil in Hayes Valley. You'll discover dainty, modern creations from Swarovski studs to raw diamond bar necklaces for the minimalist bride.
Hair Accessories
Adding a bit of blue into your hairstyle is a whimsical way of continuing the tradition. For some sparkle, opt for an elegant barrette or intricate headband from Renee Rivera. Rivera offers a ready-to-wear bridal line of accessories as well as couture creations. If you prefer a more natural feel, flowers from Birch Florist can be delicately sprinkled throughout your tresses.

Adding a bit of blue underneath your wedding gown is always a cheeky way to play along with the nuptial rhyme. Hanky Panky is the go-to brand for sexy, yet wedding day appropriate, lace undies that come in both pale and deep blues. At the Nordstrom on Market Street you can find ones specifically emblazoned with a crystal 'I DO'.
Even if your wedding day look includes white from head to toe, you can always add in a hint of blue under your shoes. Betsey Johnson's aptly named line, Blue by Betsey Johnson offers gorgeous bridal heels with heavenly blue soles. Alternatively, bold blue heels can accent your reception ensemble in a chic and modern way. Browse selections online and opt to pick up at the newly revamped DSW in Union Square.
Vintage add-ons
When it comes to something old and something blue, the choices at Torso Vintages fit the bill. Torso's array of vintage dresses and accessories are kept in impeccable, nearly never-been-worn condition. Among their top-notch inventory, you'll find unique blue ideas, such as a stunning cobalt fox fur stole and a 1940s blue ostrich feather hat. Perfect for the bride who yearns for something that's truly one-of-a-kind.

The BMX Park Finals at the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Champion ship left everyone guessing right up until final moments as to who would take the park title.
Serious BMX riding spread a contagious energy that throughout Ocean City during BMX Park Finals. Scotty Cranmer qualified first going into today's final and held nothing back as he sent a double tailwhip down the big step-down, a flip double whip over the hitching post and a big front flip no hander over the box. "I tried to go for big tricks, keep true to my BMX roots and pay homage to all of the great riders before me," said Scotty.
Kyle Baldock came into today's finals looking to throw it all on the line and that he did sending a bunnyhop double tailwhip drop-in, 720 barspin over the spine as well as a 900. Those tricks don't come easy and Baldock knows all too well the type of dedication it takes to ride at that level. "This is the best park course I have ever seen the Dew Tour have and I wish I could have this in my backyard" said Baldock.
The man of the hour was Brett Banasiewicz. If there was anyone that deserved to win it was the young gun from South Bend Indiana. He has put in the work it takes to be on top of his game and send some of the biggest tricks of the weekend including a cash roll down the step-down, a 360 triple tailwhip and a huge front flip no-hander up the big step-up. Brett explained his strategy like this, "I wanted to ride my third run hard because I kind of knew that Scotty wasn't going to take his final run, but I didn't want to take a chance and I just stayed on my bike as long as I could."
You could see the fatigue setting in on each rider as they pushed themselves to their limits and put on an amazing show for the crowd here in Maryland. Hat's off to every rider out there and congrats to Brett, Kyle and Scotty for really pushing the limits of BMX.
Check out the video highlights from the BMX Park Finals HERE, and be sure to check back shortly for a finals photo gallery posted on the top of this post.
1st Place – Brett Banasiewicz
2nd Place – Kyle Baldock
3rd Place – Scotty Cranmer
4th Place – Ryan Nyquist
5th Place – Daniel Sandoval
6th Place – Harry Main

Debashish Marandi joins BJD
Bhubaneswar: After yesterday's visit to Mayurbhanj district, Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal supremo Naveen Patnaik today inducted a former student leader hailing from the district into the party.
"I am very glad that Dr Debashish Marandi joined the Biju Janata Dal today. He had been the student leader of Cuttack SCB Medical College and Hospital. He will be leaving his job in Nalco to join the party," Patnaik told reporters.
Marandi, a former student leader of SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack and Senior Medical Officer of NALCO joined the ruling BJD here in presence of Patnaik.
Stating that the party welcomes Marandi, Patnaik said the doctor belonging to the tribal community, will be a tremendous asset particularly in Mayurbhanj district.
"We welcome more and more professionals to join the BJD. We will certainly provide a platform for him," Patnaik said.
Marandi, on his part, expressed his gratitude to Patnaik for the Supreme Court panel s nod for admission in Baripada-based Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College and Hospital for this academic session.
"When a student, I was dreaming how the health care services will be improved in the tribal-dominated district of Mayurbhanj. I am thankful to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for his efforts that the tribals of the district will get health services at Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College and Hospital," Marandi said.
Yesterday Patnaik made a sudden visit to Mayurbhanj district to monitor the work of Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College and Hospital at Baripada.
However, Patnaik's love for the tribal dominated Mayurbhanj district started after the ruling BJD faced serious electoral defeat in the district during the recently concluded three-tire panchayat elections.
Of the total 56 Zilla Parishad seats in Mayurbhanj district, the ruling BJD could manage to win in only five seats while remaining were captured by the opposition BJP.

by Sara M. Barton
Series: A Scarlet Wilson Mystery (#1)
Published: 02 Dec 2013
Scarlet Wilson's love life keeps tanking, no matter what she does. It's pretty sad when the elderly ladies at the inn have a better romantic life than the forty-something innkeeper. Is she cursed when it comes to men, or is there something more sinister going on? As the tension builds in this psychological thriller, the wild ride sweeps her closer to a dark, sinister secret that threatens her whole family.
Enter Kenny Tolliver ("Captain Peacock"), the still-handsome hunk who captured "Miz Scarlet's" heart all those years ago in high school. Widowed, retired as Assistant Director of Public Safety at Princeton University, now working for Mercer Security, "Captain Peacock" has all kind of tricks up his sleeve. Good thing, because a second guest meets a gruesome death just as he arrives to take charge.
Scarlet and Kenny seem to be on the fast track to rekindle their love until they run headlong into "Colonel Grey Poupon", Scarlet's annoying, twice-married brother. Adding to the confusion, Kenny begins to suspect that his old high school chum is lying. Just how involved was Bur with one of the now-dead guests and what else is he keeping from them?
