Huawei and Tesla don't exactly cover similar markets. Huawei is telecommunications equipment and services company which handles manufacturing of smartphones, tablets etc. while also building software for those devices. Tesla on the other hand builds electric cars. It seems like these companies will partner up though. A few days ago Huawei mentioned Tesla via their Chinese Weibo page, stating that something will happen in "seven days". This was quite the mystery considering we could only guess what's this all about. Now we have some more information when ti comes to this, let's see what's what.
Unnamed sources talked to Artesyn Technologies and revealed that Huawei and Tesla will hold a press conference in Shenzen this week, 18th to be more exact. The two companies will announce some sort of partnership and according to the information it will have something to do with the recently announced Huawei Glory 6 (also known as Honor 6) smartphone, at least partially. Tesla Model S's software has recently been upgraded to let smartphone become car keys (version 6.0), in other words you will be able to fire up Tesla Model S with your smartphone. We've also seen some leaks recently saying that the iPhone 5S will be able to do the same thing, I don't believe this has been announced at this point. This feature allegedly requires a fingerprint scan in order to function and both of these phones have fingerprint scanners on board. According to the source, This software is still in beta and according to the source Huawei Glory 6 smartphone will become Tesla's first commercial car key.
This sounds really interesting, ten years ago we could only dream of things like this and it seems this will become a reality soon. According to the source, the event will take place on September 18 in Shenzen as I already mentioned, that is only a few days away. Nothing is confirmed just yet, but if the rumor is to believed, we're about to see something really cool at that event. Would you like to unlock and start your car via your smartphone if given the option to do so? Do you think this is going to become a standard in the future?

Japan tsunami: PM offers assistance
New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has spoken to his Japanese counterpart Naoto Kan and offered any additional assistance Japan may require to deal with the devastation caused by the twin disaster earlier this month.
Singh had a telephonic conversation with Kan yesterday during which he expressed deepest condolences over the loss of life and property in Japan consequent to the recent earthquake and tsunami, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a release here today.
The Prime Minister said the people and the Government of India stood solidly with the friendly people of Japan in their hour of grief.
"He also offered to make available any additional assistance that Japan may require. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Japan would emerge from the calamity as an even stronger nation," it said.
The Japanese Prime Minister expressed deep appreciation for India`s solidarity and support, as the country coped with the enormous natural disaster.
"He was touched by Prime Minister`s gesture of visiting the Japanese Embassy to sign the Condolence Book. He thanked the Prime Minister for the assistance that India had provided," the ministry release said.
Premier Kan had also written a letter to Prime Minister Singh expressing similar sentiments, in response to the latter`s message of condolence sent on 11 March 2011.

WINDY CITY WINNER: Norse Roll Past Statesmen
CHICAGO---The Bay College Norse women's basketball team opened a three-game road trip with a 99-25 victory over the Kennedy-King College Statesmen Tuesday night in downtown Chicago.
Six Norse players scored in double figures, and all 12 players scored.
Kennedy-King played with four players for several minutes while her ankle was being taped up, and then, in the fourth quarter, when another player fouled out, the Statesmen again played with four women.
The Norse led, 21-6, after the first quarter, and 50-13 at halftime.
Bay had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to cross the 100-point mark, but the Norse dribbled out the clock rather than take another shot.
The Norse was led by Gladstone graduate Taylor Hunter, who had 17 points. Big Bay deNoc grad Brooke Dalgord scored 16 points, while Mid Peninsula's Haley Trudell and North Dickinson's JuliAnn Wickman both scored 13 points.
Norway's Jordan Kraemer, Bay's all-time leading scorer, chipped in 12 points.
Dean led the Statesmen (1-14) with 15 points.
The result improved the Norse record to 13-5 and was the team's ninth straight win.

Hello there, here is the daily QOTD. By the way, before I continue, I want to reiterate that The Shadowverse, my book, is available for free the entirety of today.
Music recommendation is Dar Farley – Lorica.

It was a busy and stressful day at work. The good news is that this month I got again a little pay rise. It is just $170 but it's good to see that my boss notices how much I am doing.
After work I went to the greengrocery, again! and I bought 2 mangos, then I went to the butcher's and bought chicken. For dinner I grilled chicken and cooked potatoes in the microwave, healthy and delicious. Maybe I'll start to look for recipes to cook more healthy and tasty food.
Today I won't do bike or workout, I feel tired so I'm going to the bed to study before sleep.

The Media Definition Of A "Staunch Republican"
The Chicago Sun-Times uses massive amounts of media dis-information in this report that states that Democrats are gaining ground. Take this section:
After watching the top five Democratic candidates for president speak before a trial lawyers' group Sunday, attorney Jim Ronca of Philadelphia, a staunch Republican, became certain of one thing: He is not going to vote Republican in the 2008 presidential election.
He will support the Democrats.
"I'm not only going to vote Democratic, I'm going to financially support the Democrats," Ronca said after a luncheon forum of the American Association for Justice, featuring Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. Barack Obama, former Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Joe Biden. "The Republicans in Washington are an embarrassment."
Ronca said he was impressed with the Democrats' opposition to recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, the refusal of the White House to hand over documents related to the firing of federal prosecutors, and the war in Iraq.
He will support the Dems. That's all good and great, but it's actually nothing new. Look at what the Opinion Journal found;
Here is a list of Ronca's campaign contributions from the last four election cycles:
- 2006: $500 to Bob Casey, Democratic candidate for Senate.
- 2004: $2,000 each to John Edwards and John Kerry, Democratic candidates for president; $1,000 to Allyson Schwartz, Democratic candidate for the House.
- 2002: $500 to Arlen Specter, Republican senator.
- 2000: $1,000 to Ron Klink, Democratic candidate for Senate; $250 to Patrick Casey, Democratic candidate for the House; $250 to Stewart Greenleaf, Republican candidate for the House.
So Ronca has given $6,750 to Democrats, nine times as much as the $750 he has given Republicans; and his most recent GOP donation was three elections ago. That is what the Chicago Sun-Times calls a "staunch Republican"? Seems to us there are probably stauncher ones.
11% of his donations were to Republicans, and 89% were to Democrats. That's one crazy right wing nut-job huh?

Tranxition is aware that nefarious actors will sometimes seek to take information they are not authorized to possess. While the chief media focus of computer security revolves around external actors "hacking'' into corporate computer installations, inside actors usually represent a larger risk.
This page describes the security features of Tranxition Migration Manager, a user settings and file migration tool. These features are specifically designed to mitigate insider risk. There are a number of important security features that enable its wide use in corporate and governmental environments.
Data security is about protection of user data when it leaves the desktop and travels to the storage location; and the protection of that data while at rest.
Tranxition includes NSA-grade AES-256 encryption as a standard feature, implemented at the origin, encrypted to prevent interception while in transit.
Tranxition's AES-256 encryption is operative while data is at rest. All user documents are encrypted while stored. This encryption takes place after compression, to reduce extraction times.
Access to encrypted user information is protected by a token or password. The datastore passwords are implemented in response files where the password is not accessible to the operators.
In order to reach many settings on a typical Windows system, local administrator-level access can be necessary. This access can be inherited from an administrator account specifically set up on the Active Directory Server. If such a scenario is not supported, Migration Manager includes a feature where local administrator access permissions are encrypted and stored by MIGRATION MANAGER in such a way that the access credentials cannot be used for any other purpose. Operating the product in this way enables the software to capture the needed information and prevents technicians or users from needing local administrator access to user devices.
Tranxition has been successfully implemented in System Center Configuration Manager using the System Account and other scenarios, which allows for migration manager to leverage and be bound by permissions set in SCCM.
It is also successfully used by Quest Software KACE users to enable and protect their migration processes.
It can be a significant challenge to balance usability and security in enterprise environments. The well-designed, carefully-thought through security features of Migration Manager are more than sufficient to enable utilization of the product in sensitive environments and to meet regulatory requirements.
For more information, contact Tranxition or your authorized representative.

There is a lot of data-driven stuff in Kaduria. However even such a good idea can be ruined with poor design. I wouldn't call it a failure in this case, but there is data that doesn't have a clear structure. Recently I got an idea to create styles for terrain tiles so each type of wall could be a part of some style (dwarven, ancient, elven, etc.). The style is a great target for a data-driven type, because then you could retrieve all sorts of objects that mostly belong to that style.
The problem is that style class would override other data already set up for level themes. It's a layer of data on top of existing data. Another problem is to determine how much and where each class or system is used. The style can't be same as level theme, in fact there could be several styles in one level.
I've had similar problems with main type of object data classes. It reduces the amount of data, but then you have two classes to maintain, with kind of dialog between classes that can be difficult to create.
I think styles is something that is required after all, which is yet another example of undefined design that should have been there.

January 6 - 7, 2021 ... Hilton Garden Inn, Missoula, MT The Montana Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA) hosts the Montana Green Expo every JanuaryThe Expo includes a Trade Show and a Convention with 85+ exhibitors, and is free to attend for horticulture industry professionals.
Host: Montana Nursery & Landscape Association Phone/Email: 406.755.3079 ... firstname.lastname@example.com
Plan for Success ....... Exhibitor profiles, invites, promotions, product showcase & video previewAttend Show / Stay Connected ..... Exhibitor updates, seasonal offers, marketing resources/support
The Convention includes 15-20 hours of educational seminars for which a registration fee is imposed. Nationally recognized experts are invited to address a wide range of topics covering both horticulture and business management interests. MNLA members receive a substantial discount on registration fees for all Convention seminars as well as discounts on booth space in the Trade Show.
According to Montana Green Expo attendees, the best part of the Expo is a feature that can scarcely be advertised and isn't really even on the schedule. It's the networking, getting together with old and new colleagues, sharing successes and failures. While we've tried to formalize it with a couple of events like the "Breakfast of Champions", panel discussions, and "Great Green Ideas," much of the best networking happens in the hallways between seminars, in the aisles of the trade show, or during gatherings at the end of the day.

Copyright Act of 1976 Allows Creators to Revoke Copyright Assignments and Again Take Ownership
Insight September 13, 2013
A writer (and performer) of the famous "YMCA" song has rocked the music industry by successfully reclaiming the copyrights in many of his works using little known provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976. These provisions allow creators to revoke copyright assignments and again take ownership of their works 35 years after assignment.
As more musicians, writers, other creators become aware of this opportunity to take a second bite of the apple, intense litigation over ownership of still-lucrative bodies of work are on the rise. Considering that copyrights protect not just songs and books but less obvious things like software, these provisions could have wide ranging effects. Creators (and their families) should review their works and consult someone familiar with the strict process for reclaiming rights, and those who own works by assignment should review their portfolios, consult someone familiar with ways to block reclamation efforts, and consider negotiating new agreements for works that are still economically viable.

With support from Austrian brewery Eggenberg, 'Beer Pope' Conrad Seidel presented 'Vienna's most serious beer-tasting' at the Glacis Beisl. The journey went from Eggenberg to St-Louis in 20 delicious stations of beer.
'Beer Pope' Conrad Seidl, a well known Austrian journalist and leading German language specialist on beer, is also known as great speaker and lector, always drawing vast crowds. The crowd at the beer tasting event in Glacis Beisl however surpassed everything so far, with the event selling out days after it was announced. An interesting side note: while beer is often considered a man's beverage in Europe, more than a third of the audience was female.
Right to the point the event started with a non-alcoholic beer, although Mr. Seidl explained right away that there is nothing like a completely alcohol free beer, only beer with a very low alcoholic content. His reason for starting with a non-alcoholic variety? It's educational – everybody should remember how little he or she poured from that one and never pour more from any of the later, more potent beverages.
After a quick start we embarked on a fascinating tour through beers of very different styles from all over the world, 20 samples altogether. A lot was to be discovered and realized in the process, for example how different a Czech Budweiser was from an American Bud, or about the differences between Pilsener Urquell, the 'inventors of Pilsen style' and a modern Pils. We also learned why Bavarian wheat beer is not brewed according to the German Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) that strictly specifies rye as base for the malt and was passed in order to give the Duke of Bavaria the monopoly on wheat beer brewing. We tasted and realized that dark beer is not necessarily sweet in taste and where the name 'Stout' comes from (referring originally to a stouter type of porter)
Of special interest was the vertical of assorted beer types brewed by Eggenberg that ended with two legends, Eggenberger Urbock, a double bock of desert wine character and the Samichlaus, an even stronger and more aromatic double bock originally invented by Swiss brewer Hürlimann. Unfortunately Hürlimann stopped the production after being taken over. However Eggenberg acquired the recipe and license and is now brewing this unique delicacy. On the aromatic side, the tasting also included very interesting aromatic beers from Belgium. Of course Guinness stout wasn't missing either as representative of British Isles beers.
To sum things up, a very high level tasting that gave those new to fine beers a great introduction to styles and types while still containing enough new and interesting information for beer connaisseurs, and even those beer specialists who already knew most of the information found enough incentive for a satisfying event – like a good glass of exclusive Samichlaus and the amusing and amazing presentation by Conrad Seidl … and free fresh pretzels.

You may feel as if you've seen enough Star Trek trailers to whet your appetite for May's big-screen relaunch, but studio Paramount doesn't agree with you; there are more to come, highlighting emotion and explosions.
The Hollywood Reporter digs into the marketing of this summer's JJ Abrams-helmed revamp of Gene Rodenberry's famous franchise, and reveals that Watchmen's March 6th release will be accompanied by an extra treat for geeks like us:
A new trailer will pair with "Watchmen" on March 6 and highlight the emotional aspects of Kirk's story, and the final spot will reach out to families who saw and liked such similar PG-13 fantasias as "Indiana Jones" and "Transformers."
On the one hand, huzzah for a couple of new trailers before the movie's release, but on the other, do we really need to see more of Kirk's emotional aspects? I hate to say it, but I think I liked him better when he was shallow, smarmy and Shatner.

Apolipoprotein Pathways in Asthma Pathobiology and TreatmentPosted by: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Posted date: 2020-Mar-02
Location: USA
Position Description:
Asthma affects approximately 8% of the U.S. population with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Despite recent advances, there is an ongoing need to develop new treatments for severe asthmatics who do not respond to current therapies (Please see this video to learn more how asthma affects patients who are participating in clinical asthma research at NIH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVUZLcZwyxk). To address this clinical problem, the Laboratory of Asthma and Lung Inflammation has established novel roles for apolipoproteins and lipoprotein receptors in modifying airway inflammation, airway remodeling, and airway hyperreactivity in asthma. Furthermore, by defining new mechanisms that modify asthma pathobiology, our laboratory has identified novel treatment approaches that are currently being advanced to clinical trials so that we can begin to assess their safety and effectiveness for asthma.
A NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Laboratory of Asthma and Lung Inflammation, Pulmonary Branch, NHLBI, under the supervision of Dr. Stewart Levine. (Please visit our laboratory website to learn more about our research program: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/science/asthma-and-lung-inflammation). The successful candidate will conduct translational research aimed at defining novel molecular mechanisms by which apolipoprotein pathways modify airway inflammation in human asthma. This postdoctoral fellowship position will provide excellent training opportunities in inflammation, immunology, biochemistry, as well as cell and molecular biology. In addition to the resources available within the Laboratory of Asthma and Lung Inflammation, postdoctoral fellows can also utilize the multiple core facilities within the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research that offer access to state-of-the-art analytical methods and equipment, as well as collaborations within the supportive NIH research community.Qualifications:
Applicants should have an interest in translational research related to airway inflammation and asthma. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree (or equivalent degree or will be receiving their degree in the near future).To Apply:
Interested individuals should send their CV, a cover letter describing career plans and research interests, and the names and contact information for three individuals who can provide letters of recommendation to:
Dr. Stewart J. Levine
Chief, Laboratory of Asthma and Lung Inflammation
Pulmonary Branch, NHLBI
Building 10, Room 6D03, MSC 1590
Bethesda, Maryland, 20892-1590
E-mail: levinesnhlbi.nih.gov
Applications will be reviewed until the search process has been completed.
This post will be available until June 2, 2020.

Italy's Beauties
(And I'm happy to say that Skippy the implanted defibrillator was quiet and peaceful, even when the hills got taxing. Another first as my Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) 4th birthday looms).
And then there was our cycling group. It included 5 people who are veterans of multiple Ironman triathlons. And my sister and I most assuredly are not. Others brought their own pedals for their own special shoes. And we didn't even really understand that sentence. So mostly we saw these people at meals.
There were a few I genuinely enjoyed; one from Hawaii and a couple from Seattle. The Seattle pair seemed great - smart, interesting, etc - call her Jane and John. She also happened to be pretty and very stylish. She wore 'outfits' while biking, but not biking outfits. She crafted her own look, and she had a "look" each and every day. And turns out, a nascent fashion business on the side. Or expensive hobby. In any event, for Jane, appearance matters, aesthetics matter.
I liked Jane and her husband through much of the trip. One evening before dinner, the group went to visit a wine cellar on a working vineyard. I don't have much curiosity about wine-making, so I sat by the house where the working family lived. It was a beautiful early evening, lovely sitting outside as the sun headed down. The family was ending their separate days; mother feeding the young kids, hanging laundry outside on racks, feeding two large dogs, a couple cats and an adorable litter of kittens. I remember thinking she had probably worked all day and then had to face kids, dinner and laundry. It seems women may have tougher lives than men in rural Italy.
And then we were at dinner; a 'family-style' dinner in a courtyard restaurant, our group at 2 long tables surrounded by local families. I happened to be across from Jane and her husband and for conversation, I asked about the visit to the wine cellar. She responded that it had been almost wonderful, interesting, good wine, that the visit was terrific with just one complaint. She thought the family should have taken in the laundry before our group arrived. That our group was on an expensive vacation and we shouldn't have to see laundry at the vineyard.
I was shocked; speechless in fact. Her husband looked mortified. And then I managed to say that I thought it was just a shame that she didn't have a dryer. Then, because we are adults with well-developed social skills to use on travel with a group of strangers, I asked about the wine.
Beware the pretty ones; they can be marred.
1 comment:
Yeah, you never know what some people will say or do sometimes. Very Funny story!ReplyDelete
I'm jealous that you got to ride in Italy like that. Had to have been a wonderful time.
And I admit to being one of those people who used to have the custom "pedals" at one time for my bicycles. Now I just use the toe clips that came with the pedals, and not real fond of them either. Motorcyclists have a term "Farkle" for motorcycle accessories that is an acronym of Fancy Accessory, Really Kool, Likely Expensive. I think those pedals might count as Farkle.
BTW, I'm 2 1/2 years out from my SCA's and I just got taken off one medication and had another reduced in strength. Hope you're doing well also!

The humour in this is delightful and so apt at the moment. I've often sung it over the years, putting my own feelings into it, but to actually listen to it – it is so sweet and it really ministers to me. You must listen. It's a hoot, it's amazing.
The humour in this is delightful and so apt at the moment. I've often sung it over the years, putting my own feelings into it, but to actually listen to it – it is so sweet and it really ministers to me. You must listen. It's a hoot, it's amazing.
"I believe that to abuse a person's legal and human rights until further information comes to light that makes you think it might possibly be time to recognise and respect those rights again as long as the person co-operates with your terms, is neither justified nor reasonable."
I posted the following on Premier Christian Radio's Facebook page about an hour ago, and it was removed. I usually take copies of what I post and email them to myself, so I am able to post this to my blog. I've added a couple of little bits but it is basically the same.
I have known and said for ages that Premier Radio, among other media organisations, including Church, like Kensington Temple, where I spent some time over 20 years ago, is stalking me, somehow. I have suspected computer hacking, among other things. They keep pressing my emotional buttons, putting snippets together from my life, appearing to appeal to me in some way, while never making committed contact or answering the emails that I have sent them. I'm not bombarding them, as they are me. Over the last few years I might have sent 5.
A little while ago I was searching Amazon for some books on the Sufi poet Rumi and came across a book written by someone called John Baldock. I took a closer look because I used to have a youth group leader at St Matthew's Church in Bestwood, Nottingham by that name. He went to a theological college, that is the last I knew of him. it wasn't him, it was someone else. But either last week or the week before on Inspirational Breakfast both St Matthew's Church and John Baldock were mentioned in close proximity, and this is only one of many such incidents. It is making me sick, literally. I didn't do anything with that book, I just looked at the information to see if it was him and it wasn't. So how did Premier get this information?
Last week they were saying something about security and all working together in a way which made me think that lots of organisations are involved in an effort towards me, short of making proper legally recognised contact, as if THAT might cause a security breach? On my blog I used to write a lot about accidents and people being killed, which seemed to be coming thick and fast, that had some resonance in my life, in terms of similar or same names, places, lots of different references. I live in Nottingham now, I lived most of my life from 19 in London. Mark Aldridge at New Wine used to be assistant vicar to John Coles at St Barnabas Church. Mark was featured on a New Wine video a few months ago. On the local news on ITV the other day a newsreader called Sameena Ali Khan seemed to me to be close to tears as she reported a story of someone being killed and the name Aldridge was involved. I think there was another killing related close to that story in the same new programme and the names Wood something and Bar or Bart something came up. My last name is Barnett and there have been 'Woods' in my life, I thought of several but the only one I can remember now is Woodside Park, where St Barnabas Church is.
The thing I've always said is that I won't validate this kind of stalking by media or Church or government organisations that won't actually communicate with me normally. What they are doing is INCREDIBLY distressing and personally undermining, when I'm not drawing false comfort from it. I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia. I didn't have it when I was first admitted to hospital in 1996, I don't know when that diagnosis was settled on, I've had several. They say the fact I think this is happening to me is evidence of mental illness. I have said that over and over to many of the people doing this to me, and they cynically persist while pushing a mental health agenda. It is nothing short of torture, and cowardice, and I think if, for some reason, it isn't recognised as criminal, it should be. Today, I feel really ill, weak and sick. I feel so isolated, my whole community is up in arms, I get really frightened. But the media keeps putting out this narrowcasting at me and I'm supposed to respond? It seems to me they are trying to cover something, get out of something, not have to deal with the consequences and ALL the implications of the situation by appealing to me as if I am suddenly an exception and someone special who can help them. They make ME feel as if I am perversely refusing to accept a responsibility which is being put to me and offered as grace, mercy and an honour. My problem is that I believe we are responsible for what we know, and I feel as if that has been played on. But today I thought that, if what I know is being thrust on me in an under the radar way which is not legally accountable, even though it makes me feel responsible, in truth I am not and must not try to be or think I should be. I really believe it is for them to make committed contact with me.
There have been a couple of bombings close to my emotional and activity related home as well, including Manchester, recently, on 2 counts – it was the 45th anniversary of my father's suicide, and I used to share a house with someone from Manchester who has figured in my situation as it is at the moment. Premier, and others, should not be doing this to me. It is a violation of my human rights and manipulative and an invalidation of me as a person. Will someone please listen to me? They should not be holding me in this situation, as they have now for 20 years or more. I really need help. I daren't go to the police, they have treated me really badly in the past, I have a difficult relationship with them, and they also would uphold the mental health approach. And for obvious reasons I can't push it with the mental health authorities, either, unless I want to find myself back on drugs or in hospital. And my immediate neighbours are making themselves impossible to live with since it started affecting them. My housing patch manager has been involved, the last email I had from her threatened me with a mental health assessment, in spite of the fact I have told her absolutely everything about the situation with my neighbours months ago. That was last Friday. I wrote back to her saying why I thought she shouldn't and have asked her to clarify her intentions, and she has left me hanging ever since last Friday, not a word from anyone at the council. I have a psychologist appointment today that I don't really want to go to, I feel as if I am going at gunpoint. I don't want to go because I don't think he will talk about any of this stuff. In spite of the book he wrote that made me think he might be helpful, he is really evasive and won't touch it. He argues with me instead, tells me why he thinks it's not happening. Makes his feelings about the way I sometimes react my problem, a relationship issue.
I asked my housing patch manager to get involved with the situation with my neighbour. She spoke to him once before, months ago, and he said there was no problem. On Friday she told me she has spoken to him again and he now says I shout and play my music loud and she thinks a referral for a mental health assessment would be appropriate. That really scared me as, when I was in London, if I dared to say I thought I was being stalked and harassed they would set the wheels in motion without even telling me and turn up early in the morning unannounced being aggressive at my door. I wrote her a long email telling her why I thought it wouldn't be appropriate which I also sent to my old CPN and my present psychologist, who is against the medical model in psychiatry. The only person I heard back from was my old CPN on something different I had added in another email as an afterthought, and she didn't even mention what my housing patch manager had said, and I've heard nothing from my psychologist on it either. I've been really nervous all weekend, while at the same time trying to be relaxed about it and succeeding, I think, to a great extent, and believing I have every good reason to be. I've even been scared to write a blog post or Facebook status about it in case that somehow went against me. I'm not sure what is going on or why I have received no answer on the issue and am hoping they are not going to do what they did in London, but I stayed up to slice some bread I baked on Saturday morning and put it in a bag and into the freezer as a way of setting my house in order in case they turn up in the morning. Usually it has been a given that they are going to detain me. If they do, I won't be allowed to use my laptop in the bedroom and I think not on the ward either, and they didn't let me go out last time for about 2 weeks. Something to do with getting habituated to the environment but actually they just let me go out once they had completely broken me down and destroyed my confidence. I don't know why, they just did. So if I get detained, if an assessment takes place, I might be offline for a while. I'm hoping my passport application goes through OK as well and I think I'm supposed to be at home to sign for it, so I don't know what would happen there. All being well it is due within the next week. If they don't turn up though I'm going to see my mum tomorrow, as usual. I feel as if I am being silly and making a fuss about nothing. I hope I'm right. The ridiculous thing is, months ago it was ME that told her I was shouting and losing it in reaction to the harassment, and she did nothing. Now she has it from him, though, she is talking about a mental health assessment. Why would she give his word so much power over mine? She did nothing when she heard it from me and he denied there was a problem. I have wondered if maybe he thought he was giving me a chance and I have blown it. For the sake of accuracy she did say she would, however, be prepared to talk to me about it again, but I said that I thought we had said all we could and I didn't really want to have to go through it all again. So the silence frightens me. No feedback or discussion at all so far. If this turns out to be the preliminary to someone knocking at my door I think it is totally wrong. Having told me she is considering a Mental Health Act assessment I hope she might at least tell me she is going to go ahead with it and maybe even make an appointment, it would be consistent. But no one has ever given me an appointment for an assessment before, it's always, without exception, been a surprise visit.
I used to have to take a capsule called Lansoprazole every day for acid reflux, but I've realised over the last few weeks that I don't have to now. I take one really occasionally now. I think it must have something to do with the fact that I have lost some weight, for me. I noticed this once before, a few years ago. Michael Mish had introduced me to prill beads, that you put in a gallon jar of water and just leave them there and keep topping the water up. They alkalinise the water. I think I might have lost some weight during that period as well, I can't remember. But I went to Wales for a week and, even without that water, I had no problem with acid reflux, and I put it down to the water quality at the time. I didn't need it or medication in Bulgaria, either. I also thought it might be something to do with my vegan diet, which lasted about 6 years, but I'm not vegan now. So I think it must be the weight loss, I can't think of any other explanation. My idiot GP when I was in London, who once gave me reason to think he wasn't just an idiot, he was dishonest, told me I would need the medication for the rest of my life. It seems to me that state sanctioned drug pushers like to tell people things like that.
Michael Mish is a New Age musician. My Church background had made me hear him with a little bit of reserve. Prill beads aren't New Age, I think they were developed for a space program or something. But it has reminded me of something I've been thinking for a while. 'My kind of Church' often calls Eastern medicine and therapy techniques occult. Things like acupuncture, for instance, which works on meridian lines in the body. But while being suspicious of Eastern approaches to health to the point of hatred, 'my kind of Church' has swallowed the Greek medicine model wholesale and apparently without question, these days, anyway. It didn't use to be like that, to my memory, in the 70s. When I was in Church then at least one preacher said that psychology wasn't compatible with Christianity and preached against reliance on psychiatric drugs. When I first saw books about psychology and started reading them because I wanted to try and find out why I was so messed up I felt incredibly nervous about it, if not guilty. It was a very lonely and dark activity for me. It never occurred to me, because of the preaching, to try and discuss anything I was reading with the Church leadership. There have been times in recent years that I have felt the roles have been reversed, that I have thought that they were right then and not now, that I have grown into their position (if I really ever didn't accept it) and they have grown out of it, or abandoned it, and in so doing have abandoned me and people like me. But I really think that the deep suspicion of Eastern and New Age medicine is, more often than not, cultural bias and blindness, insensitive, ignorant and a form of racism.

My man requested chia pudding. I'd never made chia pudding but I felt confident I could knock one out with an online recipe as inspiration. He wanted vanilla pudding, gelatinous and chewy in all it's soaked chia glory. My finished product was scrumptious, so scrumptious in fact, that we ate it immediately before I could snap any pictures. Don't worry though, I'll definitely be making it again and will be sure to share it with you all when I do.
In the meantime, I was so blown away by how easy, healthy and decadent chia pudding could be that I started to play with other flavor combinations. Chocolate pudding is my favorite so I knew that would be my next conquest. The recent chilly weather is eliciting cravings in me for toasty beverages. Naturally, hot chocolate sprang to mind when musing over flavors for the pudding. Then the lightning bolt hit. Mexican hot chocolate. Booyah!!
This version of chia pudding isn't gelatinous as I blend the chia seeds, so even if are a little squeamish around texture and don't like the viscosity of chia pudding, I promise, you will love this. I sweetened the pudding with dates. It's incredibly healthy. So healthy, you could eat this pudding guilt free for breakfast. Chocolate pudding for breakfast? Excuse me while I do a happy dance.
Mexican Hot Chocolate Chia Pudding
• 2 cups almond milk
• 4 tbsp cacao powder
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 10 pitted medjool dates
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2- 1 tsp chili powder (depending on how spicy your chili powder is)
1. Soak dates in warm water for 30 minutes to soften.
2. Once dates are soft, place them along with all other ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until well combined and pudding is smooth.
3. Pour into a sealable container (I used a mason jar) and refrigerate overnight to set.
Voila! Enjoy your healthy chocolate indulgence. Go ahead, lick the bowl and feel good about it. 😊

Gifts of Age (Part Four) Nobody Came Home in an Urn
The "fun" of European travel in a wheel chair.
Though one of the most positive aspects of reaching retirement age is the opportunity to travel, I wish I had photos of the incredulous expressions on airport security personnel when my husband and I show up. They look like, "Why don't people like you, just stay home?" Their feelings may be justified since they spend twenty minutes patting down my husband, whose pacemaker can't go through the x-ray machine, and about fifteen minutes examining my wheelchair as I limp through, at the same time others are dismantling our sleep apnea machines. I'm not sure what terrorist profile we match, but believe me, you are safe from us.
Back in our youthful sixties, we each took only a small rolling suitcase and backpack for eleven days abroad. This meant we could take it all as carry-ons and not risk the trauma of lost luggage. Now, in our seventies…

Friday should be the day for jumping happily on the bike and rolling through the forests and up and down hills to work. But not really – some "interesting" bug decided to party in my stomach yesterday and the hangover still remains.
It certainly wasn't due to the fact that it's raining and lukewarm outside. But the playlist on the Sonos this morning has been subdued and on the quiet side, too:

Songbird – Fleetwood Mac
Melinda – Stan Getz

Is Libya Next? Anonymous Debates New Operation
From a message board important to the hacker group Anonymous last night:
Libya seems to be a cloudy subject full of uncertainty. So here's a thread to discuss and gather information. I know many anons have been calling for an Operation Libya in the hopes that the protests there could escalate to the revolution status Tunisia's did, but we don't have enough information to see if that's possible... yet. If we want an Operation Libya, step 1 is to GATHER INFORMATION. Here's what anon has so far:
The post comes with this Leakspin informational video from YouTube:
anonvish17 continues:
Essentially: the people are sick of their governments shit. They saw what happened in Tunisia, and some people seem to be encouraged. Libya has responded by completely blocking YouTube which is why there's been such a slow out-pour of information. No mainstream media outlet has really covered what's going on in Libya right now. Videos are hard to find, and the ones found are disappearing off YouTube, fast. I'm not gonna summerize the point again, just read the shit our watch the Leakspinner video. I've been mirroring videos from protests in Libya and I will post them along with download links here. I encourage you all to download and mirror. Lets spread this shit and make sure it doesn't disappear off the interwebs.
Actually it does look like an IRC channel has already been setup for opLibya but as of last night, it merely advised:
[Operation Libya | #OpTunisia is still running! |
here are the chat links if you want to follow the blow by blow:
Also last night this was posted:
Some other useful links from the group's postings:
Wikileaks cables from Libya: http://wikileaks.ch/origin/20_0.html
Wikileaks cables tagged Libya: http://wikileaks.ch/tag/LY_0.html
Other considerations in their tactical decisions might be gleamed by this information on Libya from the forum:
Political Pressure Groups and Leaders:
other: anti-QADHAFI Libyan exile movement; Islamic elements
Unemployment Rate: 30% (2004, est.)
Pop. below poverty line: 7,4 % (2005, est.)
TLD: .ly
Internetuser: 353,900 (2009)
inernet users (% of population) 5.5 (for comparision Tunisia has about 35%!!!)
Telephones: 1.101 million (2009)
International Calling Code: +218
Cellphones: 5.004 million (2009)
Since cell phones are much more important, SMS may be an important distributor of info: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/06/designing-sms-apps-for-mobile-a...
Libya's one and only ISP is likely to be a target. The forum already links to an I hate Libya Telecom and Technology (LTT) Facebook page.
They have posted a number of recent YouTube videos from Libyan, but noted
"They can be taken down. Lets make a stronger archive of Libyan protest videos HERE."

My personal favorite quality of Janet Lee's, a Holistic Nutrition instructor at SWIHA, is that she can make a heavenly cheesecake--and it's all nutritious, raw vegan ingredients! A close contender is her ability to deliver her wisdom and knowledge in a relatable, engaging way. Each interaction, you'll come away with a fascinating food fact or thinking: "Wow! I didn't know I could do that with my veggie scraps."
"I've always enjoyed hearing about people's journeys," she explains, "and I thought [Life Coaching] would be a nice compliment to my interest in nutrition coaching."
Janet graduated from the Holistic Nutrition Wellness Practitioner diploma program and says: "Feeling safe in the classes allowed me to be vulnerable and heal some of my past while offering hope for the future. It was transformational in that I was able to see patterns that held me back. The best part was learning tools to help me navigate my current and future journey."
Her coaching business, A Healthy Journey, is founded on the principle of taking small steps to create lasting rewards. Janet utilizes many Life Coaching techniques along with her passion for Holistic Nutrition in order to provide true mind-body-spirit healing.
"I am a holistic nutrition educator, athlete and life coach," Janet tells us, "I believe the small decisions we make create habits. Those habits become our norm. I co-create with clients a plan that will help them step into a healthy lifestyle. Our health is our greatest asset."
When discussing unhealthy patterns and creating a vision for her clients' future, she often asks them, "Is that still serving you?"
To those considering learning coaching techniques, she has these words of encouragement: "If you are open and wanting to learn more about communication, gain proven tools that benefit any business, or want to know what the very best thing about life coaching is; it's all about asking questions. That simple concept can transform how you live, love and show up in the world.

The band requests continue.
This request comes to you courtesy of Missing Sibling, a "noise pop trio from Texas". (That's what they call themselves.)
The Missibs asked me to listen to their music way back in the middle of December last year.
I finally got around to listening to their EP, Pick A Family, and…
Alas, now that I've heard it a few times I must confess that the music of the Singlings reminded me a bit too much of Guided By Voices, a band I'm not especially enamoured of. The Issi-blings' music has the same slightly low-key, slightly distant sound that Guided By Voices specialise in.
However, I don't want to make this post one big moan about music I'm not terribly fond of.
Instead, I'll mention one of the things I did enjoy.
I enjoyed the sound of the bass guitar in "Pick A Family" from 0:54-1:25, especially the last two notes (1:22-1:25). The sound is fat and fuzzy, and as a bass player I love a fat 'n' fuzzy bass sound. (It's one reason why The Stranglers' Jean-Jacques Burnel is one of my favourite bass players. Example here.)
By the way, and this is a minor moan, but I have a logic problem with "Pick A Family" in relation (ho ho) to the band name. If the sibling is missing, how can they pick a family?
But I should get back to talking about things I liked about the musique à la Missing Sibling.
I liked the fuzz bass at the start of "Passion In Your Paint". Oops. I've already mentioned fuzz bass. Sorry.
Also in "Passion In Your Paint", I liked the tom-tom work (e.g., 1:46-1:54 and 2:02-2:10). It was nice not to hear the hi-hat or ride cymbals for the entire length of the song. (I like variety.)
There were a few other enjoyable things, but they're miniscule and not interesting enough to mention. (Do you really want to hear about drum sticks clicking together four times in the space of two seconds?)
I'll just leave it at that, and present you with the music. You might like it more than I did.
As hinted at earlier (in the fourth paragraph), if you're the kind of person who likes Guided By Voices then you'll feel right at home with the music of Missing Sibling. Musically, they're
kissin' cousins relatively similar:
Missing Sibling – Pick A Family (2012)
I must apologise for all the family references in this post. Believe it or not, they were entirely unintentional – but they just kept coming out. I guess the name Missing Siblings prompted my brain to go into Freudian overdrive.
(Going into self-analysis mode, I'd say it's me subconsciously wishing there are no actual missing siblings anywhere.)
Hey chaps, for the sake of my mental health have you considered changing the name of the band to Found Siblings? Or how about Safe And Sound Siblings?

Why Provincial Nominee Programs matter
Immigration has become a major way to maintain population growth and meet the needs of the local labour market for each Canadian province. All Canadian provinces except Quebec increased their immigration allocations in 2019.
The data from the federal department of immigration shows that the number of immigrants brought through the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) has increased year by year. In IRCC's mute-year immigration levels plan, IRCC had a target of 55,000 admissions of new permanent residents through the PNP in 2018, 61,000 in 2019 and reach 71,300 in 2021.
There are two types of provincial nomination streams: enhanced nomination streams and base nomination streams.
Enhanced nomination streams are linked to the Federal Economic Immigration programs. Only candidates who meet the eligibility requirements both of a province's PNP and one of the three Federal Economic Immigration programs (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and Canadian Experience Class) can apply via the enhanced nomination streams. Express Entry applicants who have been nominated by one of the nine participating provinces and two territories can receive an additional 600 points toward their CRS ranking score, which will enhance their profile to obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The processing time of the Express Entry is only six months. If you are eligible for one of the Federal Economic Immigration programs and do not have enough points for an ITA, the enhanced nomination streams are your best choices.
Base nominations are granted outside the Express Entry system and can also be used to apply for permanent residence. You only need to meet the eligibility requirements of a stream or category of the province's PNP. However, the processing time of Provincial Nominees is 15-19 months. If you are not eligible for the Federal Economic Immigration programs, there are various base nomination streams in each province for you to choose.
If you are interested in immigrating to Canada and have any questions, you are welcome to contact our Canada Immigration Consultants.

Creating, Customizing, and Providing House Beers to Canadian Drinking Outlets
By: Sam Corbeil
The selection at Original's Ale House on Bayview Avenue in Toronto has the usual suspects tap-wise on the bar—Molson Canadian, Heineken, Guinness—while also showcasing other independent beer brands, such as Beau's Lug-Tread. But one stands out as special to the pub itself. It's consumed by regulars and even showcased on a weekly beer special at a very competitive price.
"That's our own beer, Original's Signature," said Original's proprietor Nada Morra. "We offer it as a stand alone and on a weekly beer-and-wings special."
With the ever-growing selection of beer on the market, many Canadian pubs have taken to brewing or commissioning the invention of their own beer that their customers can't get elsewhere. Pub chains such as The Firkin offer Butler's Ale at all of their locations as a signature offering, often paired with particular food selections.
Signature beer can be a useful branding technique for the establishment, giving them a staple, recognizable beverage that clients return time-and-again for. However, the process of choosing and implementing a unique house beer can be laborious.
"It wasn't easy: we went over a few different tastes and to see what our customers enjoyed best," said Morra. "We had to really think from the perspective of what our clients might like in their decision-making and what we wanted to end up with in the end. It took a couple of months."
When asked who her brewer was, Morra kept jokingly elusive.
"That's a secret," she said with a laugh. "But it is someone local."
Testing out what today's drinkers like and creating recipes to suit their tastes or what they might enjoy in a new beer concoction is part of signature beer brewing. Large chain pubs, independent breweries, and even home brewers can benefit from providing pubs or brewing collective entities particular beers that have the potential to become mainstays at bars or other drinking forums.
"I've got a new cask in the works right now. But this time it's getting an unveiling at the People's Pint opening at the end of March," said beer enthusiast and home brewer Chris Glasser. "It's an American brown with Centennial and Michigan Copper hops."
Originally from Hanover, Ontario, Glasser has been home brewing for several years. Experimenting with various beer recipes in his spare time from his Toronto home base, he's had a chance to test out various brewing formulae while paying close attention to what drinkers like. Now he's finding outlets for his brewing results in various beer consumption outlets to showcase his wares, and giving the public new items to the existing drink line-up that may already be in place.
"These days we see a lot of people acclimatizing to sours and getting more into cask beer. But with this you see one thing in common: people want to try one-offs—those showcased beers types they can test out on their own for a particular celebration or activity. From there, they can become mainstays at certain breweries or pubs based on demand."
Brewing signature beers also facilitates both collaboration and the provision of more than one beer at any one bar set-up.
"I do some of the home brews with a couple of other brewers, Deaglan Walcarn and Angela Billson," said Glasser. "When events like the People's Pint opening comes up, they can have three to four rotating taps at once. Therefore you can brew more than one cask to test out all at once or back-to-back to see which ones went over the best with the drinkers."
The People's Pint is a brewing collective entity located in the Junction area of Toronto. It's grand opening will be over the 23-25 March 2018 weekend.

I am not a Trekkie. But I have thoroughly enjoyed the reboot. Hence, I have high anticipation of Into Darkness, also directed by J. J. Abrams. Besides, the casting of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto as Kirk and Spock is simply brilliant. Before the movie, I was thinking to myself: How nice if I could see some Klingons. The good news is, there were some Klingons. The not so good news is that they did not last long.
So I lamented just a little bit with my movie buddies Cynthia and TK. In a sci-fi movie like Star Trek, when human are exploring the frontier of the galaxy, should we not see more interaction with other alien species? Like my favorite Klingons?
What we see instead is the conflict between the human in the future with the generically modified super-human in the past caught in the middle. At first, I felt the villain Khan acted by Benedict Cumberbatch was a bit stiff and emotionless. Then, when it is his part to shine, Cumberbatch delivers some of the memorable moments in this movie. As for Kirk and Spock, the filmmaker has given them plenty of opportunity to showcase the unique characteristic of the two opposing figures. Kirk who acts on his initiation versus Spock who is governed by logic and has chosen not to be affected by emotion. In Into Darkness, both Kirk and Spock are being deeply challenged against their principles. It is part of a learning journey for them to mature and take greater responsibility. The filmmaker has nailed the character development aspect perfectly.
The ending plot is not without its loophole (or so I have observed). Cynthia and TK did not notice until I have pointed it out. It is like, why go into such great trouble to catch the one when there are plenty of stock back in the ship? And if they have no idea how to unfreeze these stocks, why risk freezing the main character in it? Anyway, that is minor on this pretty entertaining movie of late.

Project: Refurbishment and Extension to Existing Showroom
Client: Vertu Motors
Value: £1.7 million
Duration: 6 Months
Architect: SRA Architects
This challenging project was the first 'hanger' style showroom to be converted to a 'terminal' style showroom in the UK and forms part of Audi's global vision to have a single style of showroom throughout the world, so no matter where you are you can recognise the building and feel welcome.
The project is the culmination of many different and complex elements seamlessly joining together to create a uniform and flowing image. Utilising sweeping curves and crisp lines, together with a range of different materials such as anodised aluminium and coloured renders the building delivers an incredible image internally and externally.
Behind these elements are many bespoke structures and a vast network of electrical and ventilation systems which had to be carefully and precisely located within the existing structure in order to deliver the final result.

James Brokenshire has joined more than 100 Members of Parliament to encourage young people aged 11-18 to take part in the UK's largest youth consultation at the launch of the Make Your Mark campaign. The ballot gives young people the chance to highlight the issues that are most important to them and ask the Youth Parliament to debate them on their behalf.
This year the ballot asks young people to choose from highlighting their views on climate change, education, transport, discrimination and employment, with the most popular topic securing a debate in the UK Youth Parliament.
Last year, 875,000 secondary school pupils took part in the consultation and organisers hope that this year even more young people will get involved and make their voices heard.
Commenting at the launch, James said:
"The Make your Mark campaign gives young people the chance to champion the issues that matter most to them. I always enjoy talking to young people when I visit schools in the constituency and meet with school groups in Parliament about their thoughts, concerns and hopes for the future of their local communities and for this country".
"Taking part in the ballot will put the issues on the minds of young people in front of Government Ministers and Members of Parliament and I urge everyone between the ages of 11-18 to visit the website and make their voice heard."
More details on the Make your Mark campaign can be found here.
