A Little Something Different During Run-Off, June 12, 2013
It's that time of year again when run-off's grip begins to squeeze the options for river fishing here in the high country. Fortunately, there are plenty of still water fisheries out there to keep a fly angler entertained.

Uneven Bars
Skill type
Known as
Toe-on 1.5
Toe 1.5
Piked sole circle 1.5
Named after
Anneke Lucke (NED)
Even the toe-on 1.5 cannot be found in current-day elite gymnastics! If any 1.5 pirouette were to make an appearance, you would think it would be the toe-on as that seems to be the most comfortable (while still being valuable) root for the majority of gymnasts.
But no. No toe 1.5s. The deductions are just too profound for it to be worth it, because theoretically this is an attainable element for a lot of gymnasts, and everyone could always use an E skill, but you're never going to finish it vertically enough to make the value of the skill outweigh the deductions.

Dear Copenhagen,
Over the past 6 weeks, I've had the opportunity to take two inspiring classes, travel to five new countries, and meet so many amazing people from around the world, all thanks to you. Tak, København, for being my home away from home. I really could not imagine studying abroad anywhere else. Copenhagen, I love your quaintness and coziness. I love that I feel safe here. I love all your canals and that (slightly chilly) sea breeze. I love all your small shops and cafés that truly embody 'hygge.' I love walking down Strøget after class to window shop and people watch.
And, there are many things that I did not love or understand at first, but by now I have definitely gotten used to. I've gotten used to looking for cars and bikes before crossing the street. I've gotten used to not being able to understand anyone else's conversations on the bus. I've gotten used to carrying my own bag to the grocery store. I've gotten used to the 17 hours of sunlight.
However, I do feel ready to return home to Indiana. Being abroad for six weeks was the perfect amount of time for me because it allowed me enough time to explore and understand European culture, but it also was long enough that I miss and appreciate a lot of the things I have back at home. Honestly, I miss my family and my friends at home. I miss my shower that doesn't turn off the hot water 5 minutes in. I miss driving in my car and not having to rely on public transportation. I miss my cats. I miss cheap iced coffee. I miss Target. I miss college life at Indiana University.
So, I guess you could say that I'm looking forward to being back in The States, but Copenhagen will surely hold a special place in my heart. It truly has been a journey here, but I have learned more than I ever thought I would. Yes, I learned a lot in my classes about psychology and other academic concepts, but I also learned how to be my own person and to live in the moment. And now, I feel more confident in myself. If I can survive living in a foreign country where I knew absolutely no one, I can do anything! (maybe?) Above anything, I am just thankful for this experience. I always felt like studying abroad should be a part of my college experience, and now I have officially done it!
Copenhagen, I will definitely try to visit you again someday. I would love to walk along Nyhavn with my future family, show them some of my favorite places to eat, and tell them all about my best memories here. But for now, I must return to my real home.
Tusind tak,
Anna Hopkins

2019 Election : A million of Tinubu can't save APC from impending political defeat – PDP fires ex-Lagos Governor
Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, declared that a million of ex-governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot save the ruling APC from imminent defeat it will suffer in the 2019 general elections.
PDP in a statement made available to Newsflash247 in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Engineer Akeem Olatunji, noted that Tinubu and his co-travelers in APC were jittery of imminent defeat they would suffer in the forthcoming general elections.
Newsflash247 recalled that Tinubu had on Saturday in Ibadan declared that opposition was dead in Oyo with the defection of some political bigwigs in the state.
The defectors include Ex-Governor of the State, Chief Adebayo Alao Akala, Former Senate Leader Teslim Folarin, Ex-SSG Mr. Ayodele Adigun and House of Representatives member, Hon. Dokun Odebunmi among others.
But, Olatunji while reacting to Tinubu's outburst noted that it was glaring that Tinubu already knew the fate of his party in the coming elections, noting that that was why he made such statement.
The PDP spokesperson disclosed that the so-called defectors had already joined APC long ago, wondering the need "for an unnecessary political jamboree at the expense of Tax payers money."
Olatunji, however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his low key 75th birthday, as he charged Governor Abiola Ajimobi of the state to borrow a leave from him (Buhari) instead of embarking on wasteful spending during his 68th birthday celebration held on the same day (Saturday).
The PDP spokesman while asking the governor to tell people of Oyo State, unpaid workers, and striking lecturers in all the six tertiary institutions in the state how much it spent in the political jamboree and his 68th birthday, also described the two events held on the same day as wasteful.
He said "Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to a National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at a function to welcome decampees who have joined APC long time ago wherein he expressed his fears indirectly over the continuous rise and dominance of PDP in Oyo State politics and Nigeria at large.
"It is absurd that 90% of the so-called decampees have seized to be PDP members more than 2 years ago while the remaining 10% are politicians who make their living through politics and hence he needs to be in the ruling party at all times because they lack ideologies and principles.
"The PDP in Oyo State actually pity Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the unenviable job of selling a rejected Oyo State APC to the electorates whereas the party hierarchy including the National Chairman of APC knew that Oyo State APC is moribund and the yesterday's official declaration was just a charade to celebrate the birthday of Senator Ajimobi in an elaborate and wasteful manner without taken into consideration the non payment of between 9 to 16 months salaries of Oyo State tertiary institutions.
"It is, in fact, laughable that the APC which has totally failed in bringing together her old members who worked for her success in 2015 could recourse to panic mode just because the PDP has succeeded in uniting its fronts through the political sagacity of her leader, Senator Rashidi Ladoja.
"We were very much aware that Senator Tinubu, Governor Ajimobi, and the so-called decampees left the venue dejected due to the refusal of the National Chairman, Odigie Oyegun, and other party echelons to grace the occasion.
"It is on record that the only Minister from the State, Barrister Bayo Shittu, Senator Monsurat, Senator Buhari, Hon Dapo Lam Adesina and many other honorables on the platform of APC boycotted the events to the surprise of Senator Tinubu and the self-acclaimed Constituted Authority, Senator Ajimobi, failing it has resorted to a failed attempt to give a false hope that APC is still alive in the State when all the indices show that APC is virtually dead but the undertakers were admitted with funfair last Saturday.
"President Buhari's low key celebration of his 75th birthday is worthy of emulation, this is a milestone also coming after his recovery. It calls for celebration but the mood of the nation and Oyo State in particular where poverty is at alarming rate calls for sober reflections. What is the significant of 68 to 75?
"The whole page of some National newspapers on Sat 16th of December 2019 were used to congratulate Gov Ajimobi by govt agencies. This is wasteful.
"PDP both at the National and Oyo State has been adjudged as viable, masses friendly, accommodating, transparent, fair and attractive to political stakeholders and lovers of democracy.
"It is disgusting and highly embarrassing that the Governor Ajimobi led APC government that has repeatedly failed to conduct local government elections since 2011 and has flagrantly continued to violate Nigerian constitution is living in a fantasy world that they can still get electorates votes in 2019, it is impossible.
"The good people of Oyo State have come to discover that APC is a fraud, a party of untrustworthy fellows who have failed to keep a single of its numerous promises repeatedly made to Oyo State populace.
"Since the center fails to hold under APC, the PDP has come to the rescue. APC needs to be reminded that the era of falsehood, deceits and scaremongering, which their government is known for has gone, the good people of Oyo State are just anxiously waiting for 2019 to kick them out and that's a promise.
"A million Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu can't save Oyo State APC from the impending political tsunami".

Even if the COP21 talks reach agreement on limiting long‑term temperature increases to two degrees, the world still faces major challenges in adapting to climate change, says IIASA Energy Program Director, Keywan Riahi.
"We know that the risks of high impact events will increase the higher emissions are," says Riahi. His research focuses on climate change mitigation but also throws up issues of adaptation and how policymakers should avoid focusing on one area to the exclusion of the other. Integration of the two facets across key areas of public spending is vital.
"They need to be integrated into agricultural policy, energy policy, and into development policies," says the energy expert. He adds that the scientific community is only just catching up with this "nexus approach," and that it has not been explored sufficiently. Riahi's concern is that development policies—such as delivering energy to the poorest—are often created in isolation from both climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The links between mitigation and adaptation are also highlighted by recent IIASA research on the relationship between population and environment.
"It is not only the size of the populations but also the lifestyles and the consumption patterns of these people—and these include age as well as education specific characteristics," says Erich Striessnig, a IIASA economist and demographer who has researched how these factors can affect a society's ability to react to and prepare for catastrophes, such as storms and floods.
He says wealth and a high GDP are not enough to insulate populations from the impact of climate change. "In the so-called inequality scenario the predicted future number of casualties [as a result of natural catastrophes] goes up tremendously because it's not just going to be a bottom billion but a bottom three billion that will be left behind," says Striessnig.
He makes the point that it's not only the poor but often those with a very low level of education "at the edge of society" who will be less able to adapt to climate change. This emphasizes Riahi's point that countries need to integrate their mitigation and adaptation efforts into a range of other policies including those on agriculture, environmental education, and energy.
In most countries mitigation and adaptation policies have operated independently; climate change policies are developed at national and sub-national levels while adaptation is often in the ambit of local authorities. And while mitigation involves trying to hit long-term targets, adaptation is often a case of dealing with the here-and-now: floods, droughts, and health.
"It has become clear that mitigation alone is not enough to tackle climate change—adaptation is also needed," says Mia Landauer, a researcher from the Risk, Policy and Vulnerability Program at IIASA.
It's on the urban frontier that mitigation and adaptation policies are finally beginning to join forces.
"An example of synergies between adaptation and mitigation in cities are green roofs and walls which can avoid the use of conventional air-conditioning and at the same time reduce the consequences of urban heat island effect," says Landauer. This reduces energy use—mitigating climate change—as well as adapting to changes already upon us.
Responsibility for implementing mitigation measures is also becoming more regional and local, where adaptation to climate change already has a strong foothold. "The consequences of high emissions can also be felt immediately," says Landauer, citing the example of reduced air quality damaging public health. She believes it is at the local and regional level where the direct linkages between adaptation and mitigation, and the potential to integrate the two, can be found.
The dilemma facing many countries is where to spend limited resources, on mitigation or adaptation? Riahi says the answer depends on wealth, emissions, resilience, and vulnerability.
"Some of the impacts are unavoidable in a two degree world and we will need to adapt," he says. He acknowledges that a small island-state facing the threat of rising sea levels will want to put more effort into adaptation than mitigation. At the same time the high emissions-producing developed countries will need both strong mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Riahi cites the United Nations Adaptation Fund as a positive development. He also says that support for adaptation is gaining "substantial traction" in the climate change discussion. That, he says, needs to continue in parallel with efforts to mitigate climate change.

News shorts: Tour of Poland to visit Croatia? Costa and Costa at Lampre
Štybar named Czech cyclist of the year, Fabio Duarte to leave Colombia?
Tour of Poland to visit Croatia in 2016?
The last two editions of the Tour of Poland have featured excursions into Italy and Slovenia while the Czech Republic has also been visited in recent years. Croatia is shaping up as the next country to host the WorldTour race with meetings between organiser Czeslaw Lang and Sandra Svaljek, First Deputy Mayor of Zagreb, in Zagreb to discuss the possibilities of the city hosting a stage on 2016.
2016 marks the 25th anniversary of Croatia's independence which would be commemorated by the Tour of Poland's visit.
Costa joins Costa at Lampre-Merida
2013 world champion Rui Costa will be joined by his brother Mario at Lampre-Merida next season the Italian team has announced. The 29-year-old older brother of Rui has spent the last four seasons racing for Continental teams and will join Lampre as a domestique on flat stages and races to help it leaders.
"It's such a pride and satisfaction for me to wear in 2015 the colours of Lampre-Merida," Mario Costa said. "I will do my best to honour this opportunity, I'll work hard daily to meet the target that the team will proposes for me. I thank the team, the sponsors and the team manager Copeland for this opportunity: it will be exciting to ride in support of my brother Rui in his attempts of achieving top results."
Zdenek Štybar named Czech cyclist of the year
Current cyclo-cross world champion Zdenek Štybar won his first Czech cyclist of the year award on Thursday night to cap off a successful season that also featured two heavy falls. The Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider won a stage at the Eneco Tour only to crash out several days later and injure his face having hit the barriers as he sprinted for the stage win.
The 28-year-old made a return to racing on the road to win Binche-Chimay-Binche and then made the switch back to cyclo-cross only to suffer another crash as Stybar separated his shoulder when racing in Ardooie.
"It had to be very difficult, who to choose as cyclist of the year in CZE," Stybar tweeted. "It such successful year for CZE cycling. I am very proud it's me."
Stybar beat Leopold König and Jaroslav Kulhavy to the prize.
Agnoli confirmed for Astana
Valerio Agnoli has been a key domestique for Astana teammate Vincenzo Nibali, helping him during his two grand tour wins over the last few seasons , but he appeared to was deemed surplus to requirements in 2015. The 29-year-old said he was considering options from other teams to continue for the 2015 season once Astana told him there was no place in its team.
However, Nibali explained to La Gazzetta dello Sport that Agnoli will remain with the team and will join them at the next training camp in Calpe.
"In the team there have been some misunderstandings like when he and I had a furious argument with the others at our training camp on Mount Teide," Nibali told the Italian newspaper. "But it's water under the bridge, Valerio is useful to us."
Fabio Duarte to leave Colombia?
Former U23 world champion Fabio Duarte has been with Team Colombia for the last three seasons but is yet to commit for the 2015 season as he is currently considering "a very good deal" from a rival team.
"I have not decided if I will stay at Team Colombia or not," Duarte told El Tiempo. "I have a very good offer from another team. The offer that I have is good, but I have not signed anything. With Corti, I talked and he made me a proposal. I'm waiting to talk to my manager in the coming days."
Duarte has finished second on a Giro d'Italia stage on four different occasions with his last pro win came in 2012 at the Coppa Sabatini.

Portsmouth again holds the distinction of having the highest gasoline prices in south central Ohio at $2.88 per gallon, a fraction of a penny over Waverly at $2.87, but despite rising prices over the past several months, drivers are poised to pay the lowest prices at the pump over the Fourth of July holiday weekend in at least five years.
The average price for a gallon of gas in south central Ohio is $2.82. However, last year at this time the average price for a gallon of gas in the region was $3.70.
The lowest price of gas in the region is, according to AAA East Central, Hillsboro at $2.78. The national average is $2.78.
While pump prices are down on the week, they are up four cents per gallon month-over-month, largely due to regional refinery issues that put upward pressure on the national average over the last 30 days. Gas prices continue to reflect considerable yearly discounts with drivers saving an average of 90 cents per gallon versus this same date last year.
Pump prices often fall leading up to the Independence Day holiday. However, a seasonal decline in the national average this year has been offset by supply shortages due to localized refinery issues and global crude prices that have recovered from multi-year lows this spring.
At the close of Friday's formal trading on the NYMEX, WTI was down seven cents and settled at $59.63 per barrel.

Quick Facts
|Australian novelist
|Writer Playwright Novelist Actor Author
|Film, TV, Stage & Radio Literature
|7 October 1935, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
|88 years
|Star sign
Thomas Michael Keneally, AO (born 7 October 1935) is an Australian novelist, playwright, and essayist. He is best known for writing Schindler's Ark, the Booker Prize-winning novel of 1982 which was inspired by the efforts of Poldek Pfefferberg, a Holocaust survivor. The book would later be adapted to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Life and career
Born in Sydney, Keneally grew up in Kempsey. He was educated at St Patrick's College, Strathfield. Subsequently, a writing prize there has been named after him. Keneally entered St Patrick's Seminary, Manly to train as a Catholic priest. Although he was ordained as a deacon while at the seminary, he left without being ordained to the priesthood. He worked as a Sydney schoolteacher before his success as a novelist and was a lecturer at the University of New England (1968–70). He has also written screenplays, memoirs and non-fiction books.
Keneally was known as "Mick" until 1964 but began using the name Thomas when he started publishing, after advice from his publisher to use what was really his first name. He is most famous for his Schindler's Ark (1982) (later republished as Schindler's List), which won the Booker Prize and is the basis of the film Schindler's List. Many of his novels are reworkings of historical material, although modern in their psychology and style.
Keneally has also acted in a handful of films. He had a small role in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (based on his novel) and played Father Marshall in the award-winning Fred Schepisi film The Devil's Playground (1976).
In 1983, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO). He is an Australian Living Treasure.
Keneally was a visiting professor at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) where he taught the graduate fiction workshop for one quarter in 1985. From 1991 to 1995, he was a visiting professor in the writing program at UCI.
He is a strong advocate of an Australian republic, meaning the abolition of the Australian monarchy, and published a book on the subject Our Republic in 1993. Several of his Republican essays appear on the web site of the Australian Republican Movement.
Keneally is a keen supporter of rugby league football, in particular the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles club of the NRL. in 2004 he gave the sixth annual Tom Brock Lecture. He made an appearance in the 2007 rugby league drama film The Final Winter.
In March 2009, the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, gave an autographed copy of Keneally's biography Lincoln to President Barack Obama as a state gift.
Keneally's nephew Ben is married to the former Premier of New South Wales, Kristina Keneally who in July 2014 joined Sky News Australia and currently co-hosts the TV news program Keneally and Cameron.
The Tom Keneally Centre opened in August 2011 at the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts, housing Keneally's books and memorabilia. The site is used for book launches, readings and writing classes.

Schindler's Ark
Keneally wrote the Booker Prize-winning novel in 1982, inspired by the efforts of Poldek Pfefferberg, a Holocaust survivor. In 1980 Pfefferberg met Keneally in his shop, and learning that he was a novelist, showed him his extensive files on Oskar Schindler. Keneally was interested, and Pfefferberg became an advisor for the book, accompanying Keneally to Poland where they visited Kraków and the sites associated with the Schindler story. Keneally dedicated Schindler's Ark to Pfefferberg: "who by zeal and persistence caused this book to be written." He said in an interview in 2007 that what attracted him to Oskar Schindler was that "it was the fact that you couldn't say where opportunism ended and altruism began. And I like the subversive fact that the spirit breatheth where it will. That is, that good will emerged from the most unlikely places". The book was later made into a film titled Schindler's List (1993) directed by Steven Spielberg, earning the director his first Best Director Oscar. Keneally's meeting with Pfefferberg and their research tours are detailed in Searching for Schindler: A Memoir (2007). Some of the Pfefferberg documents that inspired Keneally are now housed in the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney. In 1996 the State Library purchased this material from a private collector.
In April 2009 a copy of the list (including 801 names) was found in the documentation Thomas Keneally used as research material for his novel.

Uber's 2022 People & Culture ReportWritten by
The world has changed radically in the last several years. While change can be challenging, it also provides opportunity to reflect and renew.
At Uber, we know this from experience. Five years ago, we paused and thought deeply about who we wanted to be. It was a pivotal moment in shaping who Uber is today. Through sustainable changes over time, we have rebuilt and reshaped our culture.
This year's People & Culture Report reflects that evolution, and is structured around our new mission and values. It is a reflection of how diversity is making us stronger and is guiding us to create a more equitable and inclusive environment – both within Uber and in the world we operate in. We've highlighted some key data points below, but to learn more about Uber's approach to diversity, equity and inclusion, please see our full 2022 People & Culture Report.
And while I'm proud of the progress we've made, we know there is more to do to ensure true equity for our people and for all our stakeholders. I am excited to see how much further Uber can move, and I am proud to be part of that journey.
Since our last People & Culture report:
- We've seen continued progress in the overall representation of women, with women now accounting for 42.5% of Uber's global workforce (up 0.3 percentage points) and a 3.8 percentage point increase in women in leadership positions globally, as of December 31, 2021.
- Employees identifying as members of racially underrepresented groups (URPs) rose by 0.6 percentage points to 23.6% of Uber's US workforce, however representation of URPs in leadership positions fell by 0.4 percentage points.
- And in our first report since we set specific targets focused on increasing representation of women globally and URPs in the US, we've seen 1-4 percentage point increases across all targets, including a 1.3 percentage point increase in URPs at Senior Analyst level or above, and 3.3 percentage point increase in women at manager level or above.*
Since the publication of our first Diversity Report in 2017:
- Women in leadership positions have grown by 15.4 percentage points (22% in 2017 versus 37.4% in 2022) and at Uber globally by 6.4 percentage points.
- Representation of URPs in leadership positions in the US has increased by nearly 8 percentage points (3.1% in 2017 versus 10.9% in 2022), and across roles by 4.3 percentage points.
This year's report also highlights the impact our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is having beyond our own employee base, to those we partner with. For example:
- As part of our Racial Equity Commitments, we increased our supplier spending with Black-owned businesses twelve-fold – far surpassing the original commitment to double our spend. We also created a dedicated Product Equity Design team that works to weave equity into the way the world moves (building on our initial commitment of hiring an Inclusivity and Accessibility Product Leader), and established a Fairness Research team dedicated to measuring and improving the impact of our products on historically underserved communities.
- For the first time we're spotlighting the meaningful change we've helped drive amongst our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) network partners globally. In 2019 none of our BPO partners measured URP representation or pay parity, and only 10% were measuring gender representation. Women also accounted for only 30% of supervisors and 0% of Uber's account management teams. Since we extended our DEI values to our wider network, we've seen 76% of partners measure URP representation, 100% measuring gender representation, and 55% measuring pay parity. Women now account for 55% of supervisors and comprise 40% of our account management teams.
- Our Wusool partnership with Takamol Holding, which is designed to enable working women in Saudi Arabia to overcome transportation challenges while traveling to and from the workplace, has helped more than 120,000 women travel to/from their workplace and more that 88% of Wusool users remained employed after being registered for a year in the program.
*Please note these figures are tracked calendar year 2021 v 2020, rather than other People & Culture report figures which track April-December 2021 compared to our prior report which covered August 2020-March 2021. We intend to shift to calendar year tracking for all figures from our 2023 People & Culture report onwards.

Tips about modding GTA series crash solving problem : My opinion
when you playing modding gta series, it can cause game crash often, it make us really angry and upset, isn't this?
when opening game crash,while loading screen crash it can solve more easier,
but while gameplaying crash is give us really shocking,heartattack and angry....!!
we always backup former files before modify, but sometimes turning before file, it still
crash, or sometimes no change for game modify for long times but crash,
i have many experience like these, i got to much stress so my lifespan maybe reduced, HAHAHA....
We all know GTA is one of the world's best game, so we can't give up playing modding GTA series....!!!!
here is my crash problem solving opinion,
this based on my GTA playing experience: i have played GTA series since Early 2011year,
firstGTA4, since last year GTA5,
i tried many ways to solving crash problem about 5years, Next is that ways tips.
i cant surely 100% guarantee these ways solve yours too, but maybe helpful...!
1.backup your original files,or former modified files
2.off your background running programs, if some programs running while playing GTA,
that can cause crash, include internet explorer.
3.game version often update, so we must change base Script files.(ScriptHookVDotNet,NativeUI....) if game got version update and no change base scripts file, that can cause frame lower and game crash. except pirate game version,
4.this need so hard and many times but, we should apply some mods and test,apply some mods and test,apply some mods and test do it again. if apply many mods in one time, we cant find what mod is problem. i'm saying all types of mods.(vehicles,scripts,peds,maps,misc....)
I am quite new to modding and I would like to learn and clarify few things before I start to mod. I want to install rage plugin and
LSPDFR and many other police mods etc. However there are few things I want to do and know before doing anything with the mods that will be contained in the directory.
So right now I have a fresh download of GTA V and after I install all these mods to my directory as you know there's always problems that could happen in the future and
I wanted to know how I can easily organise another backup so it can fix issues with the mod. Simply, when im modding I don't want to reinstall the game if anything goes
wrong and how I can get round it quickly If you can state exactly how this can be done and what to do when the game crashes such as the rageplugin, I know it can happen
because of many reasons but I should be able to fix the problem, how does it work? Do I backup only the mods I installed or back GTA V without mods just Rage plugin with
LSPDFR to a separate directory then mod? How would I quickly fix problems with minimal hassle. Also, in the future I may want to play online and I know for sure that this
can't happen whilst rage plugin is in directory with lspdfr + MODS. If any one can explain how I can get these together before I start to mod would be very much appreciated,
moreover tips, trick and tools that you may know of. Thanks.
I know it's quite a long description but I want to state exactly the problem so you know where coming from and I'm sure this is going to help many other people within the modding community.

Pros of hand sanitizers
Individuals should surely keep their hands clean. Hands genuinely help you out in the best possible manner, and they are even responsible for causing you a number of diseases. This thing can inevitably lead to several deadly diseases too. So, in order to avoid all such dangerous conditions, one should surely wash their hands properly no matter what happens. In all such cases, washing your hands with warm water and good soap proves to be of great help.
But there is another way by which an individual can get rid of severe infections too, and that is by making use of a good hand sanitizer. Yes, this is true that hand sanitizer supplier in Dubai has surely left no stones unturned. The top hand sanitizer companies have been providing the best quality sanitizer at one's doorstep every now and then. Even the personal care manufacturers in UAE tell their clients to make use of top-quality hand sanitizers in order to avoid germs and other a number of severe diseases.
The more a person makes use of a sanitizer, the safer they are from a number of infections and germs too. One of the top advantages associated with hand sanitizer is that an individual's hand remains clean. Yes, this is true because when one plans to eat food after shopping, then they should surely wash it but what if one is unable to wash them, then sanitizers are always there to help you out in the most appropriate ways. In short, a sanitizer can prove to be your best friend because it saves you from germs and infectious diseases.
Another top benefit associated with hand sanitizer is that it saves a person from diseases like cough and flu too. Yes, this is true because if one sanitizes their hands on a regular basis, then they are even saying goodbye to cough and even flu. It entirely depends upon an individual that how careful he is, and if one wants to reside a healthy life, then they should surely take care of themselves in the best possible manner no matter what happens.
Hand sanitizers even leave one's hands softer than before. This is true when a person makes use of those sanitizers that "do not contain" alcohol. Such hand sanitizers even improve the overall texture of a person's hands. So, one should undoubtedly make use of hand sanitizers.

Attacks on bank websites peak at 60Gbps.
The cyber-attack group known as "Izz as-Din al-Quassam Cyber Fighters" struck again earlier this week, preceding an announcement that they would be launching a new wave of attacks against the websites of U.S. financial institutions.
The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks were very similar to the attacks of September and October which succeeded in disturbing online and mobile banking services for an extended period of time. U.S. Bancorp, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, PNC Financial Services Group, and SunTrust Banks were all victims in the latest attacks which started on Tuesday and continued through Thursday, December 13th. Customers reported experiencing slowness while attempting to access the banks' websites as well as difficulty logging in to the banking system.
Researchers at Arbor Networks found that these newest DDoS attacks peaked at 60 Gbps. Even with the cyber-terror group utilizing a new method of attack with specially crafted DNS packets, it is still a known technique. It is expected that the banks should be able to easily defend against these and any similar attacks in the future.

Higher dietary intake of animal protein is associated with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), whereas increased consumption of vegetable protein is associated with a slightly reduced risk, a recent study suggests.
The findings suggest that adopting a diet rich in plant-based proteins should be considered for T2D prevention, according to a research team led by Vasanti S. Malik, MD, of the Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
Dr Malik and colleagues studied the association between total, animal, and vegetable protein and incident T2D among 72,992 women in the Nurses' Health Study (1984–2008), 92,088 women in the Nurses' Health Study II (1991–2009), and 40,722 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986–2008). Investigators documented 15,580 new cases of T2D during 4,146,216 person-years of follow-up.
Continue Reading
Subjects in the highest quintile of percentage of energy derived from total protein and animal protein had 7% and 13% increased risks of T2D, respectively, compared with those in the lowest quintile, Dr Malik's team reported online ahead of print in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Subjects in the highest quintile of percentage of energy intake from vegetable protein had a 9% decreased risk of T2D compared with those in the lowest quintile.
The investigators also calculated the effect of substituting 5% of energy from protein for equal exchanges of total and different-quality carbohydrates and substituting vegetable protein for animal protein. Substituting vegetable protein for animal protein was associated with a significant 23% decreased risk. Substituting total and animal protein for total carbohydrate was not associated with T2D risk, but substitution with vegetable protein was associated with a significant 22% decreased risk. Substituting total and animal protein for carbohydrate from whole grains was associated with 20% and 18% increased risks of T2D.
"To our knowledge, this is the first study that has examined long-term intake of protein in relation to T2D risk using repeated measurements taken over many years of follow-up and that has examined the role of substitution of protein and protein type by carbohydrate type in T2D risk," the authors wrote.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. It's a big deal to me, personally, because lung cancer has affected so many people I have known and loved. My husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2012. Not long before that, my stepmother died of lung cancer. We've had many friends who have been diagnosed with lung cancer. So I thought I would take this opportunity to share some facts and statistics about the most deadly cancer.
Our Lung Cancer Awareness Story
It was a beautiful October day in 2012 when my husband discovered hardened enlarged lymph nodes above his left collarbone. He was 51, healthy, and the father of 6 children (3 of whom were still young). He'd never smoked, yet, his doctors soon diagnosed him with stage IV lung cancer. Our world turned upside down.
At the time my husband was diagnosed, he had none of the symptoms most people associate with lung cancer, no cough, no trouble breathing. He had terrible back pain that he thought was from a pulled muscle. The pain was actually due to cancer that had already spread to his spinal cord.
Dan immediately called to get an appointment with the doctor, after he felt those lumps. We would have to wait 3 long days for that appointment. In the meantime, we searched the internet for answers. All of the reputable websites suggested that his symptoms were consistent with metastatic lung cancer.
We kept looking. There was no way it could be lung cancer. Dan had never smoked. He was a realtor and a pastor. He wasn't working around respiratory hazards. We were wrong. Non-smokers get lung cancer too.
False Assumptions: Real Facts
Most people assume that they don't need to worry about lung cancer. While most women are aware of their risk of breast cancer, a recent survey that looked at awareness and perceptions about lung health showed that 98% of women don't even have lung cancer on their health radar. 78% of women don't know that lung cancer has killed more women than breast cancer each year since 1987. It's time to raise lung cancer awareness.
Not a Statistic
It is important to keep in mind that a patient is a person, not a statistic. People are unique. Therefore, they will each respond to various treatments in their own unique way. Other factors affect survival, such as age and health at the time of diagnosis. Adherence to a treatment plan as well as the severity of side effects from treatments are factors in survival. Often, whether someone has more or less success than anticipated on a given treatment seems to be as predictable as a roll of the dice. By communicating well with a board-certified oncologist you trust, you have a greater chance of increasing your survival.
Perhaps my favorite story about statistics is my husband's. When a doctor told him that he had a 4% chance of surviving 5 years, he said, "Someone needs to be in the 4%. It might as well be me."
Still, statistics do tell a story
In the case of lung cancer, it is a frightening one. It is a story that propels us to take lung cancer awareness seriously.
- About 14% of all new cancers are lung cancers.
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined.
- One reason lung cancer so deadly is because it is usually asymptomatic until it has metastasized (spread throughout the body).
- Because of this, By the time a doctor makes a diagnosis, half of all lung cancer patients are staged IV.
- Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers accounting for an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year.
- Asbestos causes lung cancer, as well, Nonsmoking asbestos workers are 5X more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers not exposed to asbestos. If you're a smoker and you've been exposed to asbestos, your risk of developing lung cancer increases 50 fold.
5 Year Survival Rates for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Not everyone wants to know the statistics of the cancer they or a loved one are facing. If you are one of those people, look no further. If you want greater lung cancer awareness, read on. What follows are the most recent statistics using the current AJCC staging system. The percentage listed is the percentage of patients diagnosed with the given stage of NSCLC who survive 5 years. They are based on thousands of people worldwide, who were diagnosed with NSCLC between 1999 and 2010. These survival rates include people who die from causes other than cancer. Rates are approximations. (American Cancer Society 1)
- Stage IA1 92%
- Stage IA2 83%
- Stage IA3 77%
- Stage IB 68%
- Stage IIA 60%
- Stage IIB 53%
- Stage IIIA 36%
- Stage IIIB 26%
- Stage IIIC 13%
- Stage IVA 10%
- Stage IVB Less than 1%.
It's important to keep in mind that even with these grim statistics, there are often many treatment options available for people with these stages of cancer.
Take this quiz to see if you should be screened for lung cancer.
Lung Cancer Awareness Reminder:
You don't have to be a smoker to get Lung Cancer!
What Are YOUR Thoughts?
I'd love to hear in the comment section, below. I appreciate my readers as well as the writing community. To show that appreciation, I use Comment Luv. Just leave a comment below and your latest post will get a link next to it. Thank you!
In 2012 doctors diagnosed my husband, Dan, with stage IV lung cancer. Since then, our family has been learning what it means to face cancer. I've focused my writing and speaking on helping cancer patients and their families advocate for themselves and live life to the fullest, in spite of their illness. My goal is to help people face cancer with grace.

Blog-ags and Tsugugs Turns 6!
I just wanted to share life's dailies..my rants and raves, successes and failures, high and low moments..about Willie Revillame and Miriam Santiago and Ate Shawie..
There even came a point when I thought of closing down this page. My creative juices weren't flowing.
Ngunit nagparamdam sa akin si Captain Barbell. Inabot nya sa akin ang bato ang sinabing, "Narda, lunukin mo ito at magsulat ka pa. Wag mong hayaang magsara ang pahinang Blogags and Tsugugs- malulungkot ang 3 mong followers."
Nakaka-pressure ang sinabi ni Captain Barbell. At nagtaka din ako. Bakit di barbell ang binigay nya? Bato talaga?! Darna lang ang peg? At ganito talaga kalaki?! Haru!
Marami-rami na rin akong naisulat sa loob ng anim na taon sa blogosphere. And never have I imagined that my page will reach so many. From 3 followers, I have now 4! Chos!
Have I not listened to Captain Barbell, this entry would not have been possible. Kaya salamat Captain Barbell! Dakila ka!
To all those who continue to visit my page, a million thanks to all of you na may kasamang liyad! To those smiled or laughed or even thought my entries were corny; to those who loved my travel entries; to those who adored all my "Alamat", sa mga naka-relate at kinilig sa aking mga kwento-- isang taos pusong pasasalamat.
Kayo ang inspirasyon ko kaya ako nanalo sa napakahirap na role ng nagtitinda-ng-sampagita-at bibili-ng-pansit-para-sa-may-sakit-na-ina-na-dadatnan-nyang-nakahandusay-sa-sahig.
On my 6th year, Cheers!
P.S. I wanna thank my dear friend Joyce of http://www.thelifeofvee.net/ for doing a great job in my blog lay out! 'Hugs'

As a tradition, the autumn design market will again be a part of the festival weekend: to explore the Design Street no driver's license is needed as there's plenty of room for wanderers on foot! Walk through the streets and discover lots of great fashion-, accessory-, product- and interior design.
In order to value design and the profession of designer, the Estonian Association of Designers decided in 2006 to start giving out the Estonian Design Award. The first Design Award was given out in the eighties by Tallinn Art Institute Department of Design at the initiative of Bruno Tomberg, after whom the Estonian Design Award has been named. Among the award-winners are experienced professionals like Matti Õunapuu, Heikki Zoova etc.
The Estonian Association of Designers wishes to present innovative, high-standard new products to the public that would prompt Estonians to consume domestic design and motivate entrepreneurs to involve professional designers in product development. The recognition would encourage designers to create new interesting products and motivate them to learn about tendencies in design on the international level. For the design-knowledgeable entrepreneur participating in the competition with a designer and the public sector, product development from the aspect of design and design management would bring recognition and would be a good role model for others. In the long-term perspective, the Design Award is a springboard for new products and brands to the international arena.
The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation presents the exhibition "3CODESIGN. 3R: Reduce Recycle Reuse". Spread over a space of 150 square meters, "3CODESIGN" offers a selection of recycled objects, products and furnishings, but also sustainable materials and technologies, all designed by Italian designers and/or Italian industries and companies in the sector.
The exhibition, with its sustainable installation plan designed by Bruno Morello, aims to offer an inevitably concise yet sufficiently paradigmatic overview on how Italian design is working towards the direction of the latest environmental sustainability needs, a real inversion of trend compared to the systems of production and design strategies employed during the 20th century. It is an overall and radical rethinking of a production model that aimed at the over-exploitation of resources; a re-evaluation of all the stages of design and production – a starting point for thinking of objects and products that become repairable, reusable, shareable, and recyclable. Instead of ending up in landfill, the value of an object must remain in circulation, by regenerating itself continuously.
Curated by Silvana Annicchiarico, the exhibition will be circulating abroad through the diplomatic-consular network and Italian Cultural Institutes for the next three years, with the aim of giving space and visibility to the new frontiers of Italian design and to actualize the reputation it enjoys around the world, telling the story of the journey of the designers toward environmental sustainability. "3CODESIGN" has previously been to Prague, Doha, Shenzhen, Toronto, Washington, Tunis and Pristina.

Ten students from Denmark (Design School Kolding), Finland (LAB University of Applied Sciences), Lithuania (Vilnius Academy of Arts) and EKA took part in a week-long CIRRUS workshop ''Reinvented footwear''.
Students covered the following topics: material waste mapping in the industries; handicraft skills to use as part of designing and prototyping; design research methods and working with people from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Course objective was making a shoe / shoes out of recycled materials.artun.ee/aksessuaar
*Local upcycling. Using the post-consumer textile waste as a raw material to create novel designs with new value.
The rapidly overwhelming mountains of textile waste generated from used garments, household textiles or undisposed clothing has become one of the main sources of concerns that take a toll on the environment and waste management. With Europe, US and China exporting most of their textile waste to African countries, the maddening amount of discarded textiles waste is growing into a major component of the landfills- the extremely polluted rivers, textile dumping or burning in the outskirts in Kenya or Ghana are just some of the visible evidence.
Repurposing and upcycling used clothes locally is one of the most effective solutions there is to deal with the textile waste issues we are facing. Upcycling involves endless creative ways of using old products and redesigning or repurposing them by giving them a new life. Moreover, by making use of already existing materials the consumption of new materials is reduced which can result in a reduction of energy usage, water pollution, CO2 emissions, hence taking a significant step towards zero waste.
The invited exhibitors here showcase a selection of possible solutions to the textile waste problem by taking advantage of the qualities and properties that the discarded textiles still possess and by giving them a new purpose.
*Industrial upcycling - circulating leftovers back to production inside factory
The innovative UPMADE® upcycling design & production system allows industries to turn excess pre-consumer materials into garments which present savings in water, CO2 and energy usage.
UPMADE® enables brands and manufacturers to apply our industrial upcycling method and obtain certification. A circular economy produces zero waste and pollution, by design. It is an ideal that the UPMADE® method supports in a real and practical way. Traditional clothing manufacturing creates an average of 18% textile leftovers. Our method closes the loop by applying upcycling on an industrial scale and reducing the amount of textile leftovers. Thanks to this, that 18% can now be turned from cost into value. The UPMADE® Certification process is the outcome of a solid partnership between comprehensive field research and thorough scientific analysis to meet the most far-reaching aspirations in upcycling. It strives for a smaller environmental footprint and maximised resource efficiency in the textile industry through a broader use of upcycling in industrial production.
The display consists of examples in industrial upcycling by Reet Aus PhD.

*Recycling - presenting practical evidence of the potential of textile recycling.
According to the European Commission's report "Towards an EU Product Policy Framework contributing to the Circular Economy", recycled materials only account for around 1% of all materials used in textile production. It's a surprisingly small number, given that we would be able to do much more. Textile waste has become one of the most complex types of waste in the welfare society. But why?
The reason lies within the materials. This 1% is, in large part, due to the fact that many designers don't take into account the principles of circularity. Most of the clothes we wear are made out of mixed materials that are difficult or even impossible to recycle. Consumption in the welfare society is endless and post-consumer waste has become a massive problem. Within the European Union, we are only able to collect 25% of used clothing, and only 1% of that gets recycled. The rest is burned or sent to landfill. In Estonia, for example, the recycling percentage is 0%. That is shocking and devastating.
The Sustainable Design and Material Lab in the Estonian Academy of Arts is tackling the issue of post-consumer textile waste with an ongoing research project funded by the Estonian Environmental Investment Centre (EIC). The project aims to find solutions to the Estonian post-consumer textile waste through mechanical recycling, new yarn and textile composite material development. This display showcases a selection of results from material and product development process concluded within this project- all presented product designs are made entirely from recycled textile waste.
* Regeneraitive Textile design - Layers of Repair
The popularity of the #visiblemending is proof that mending textiles is becoming a trend on social media. Is it just a passing flow or can the act of repair mend the World? To avert catastrophic climate change huge numbers of us must embrace necessary shifts in behaviour. Wearing out gives the user a possibility to interact with the clothing by adding layers of repair as a sign of increasing value over time. Mending could be similar to the way nature heals itself - adding up new layers and slowly repairing manmade damages. Imagine a World where things have a life of their own in the hands of a user or multiple users.
Artisan designer Anthony Luciano is a first generation New Yorker, a second generation Italian, and the last of six children, who carries with him evolution of artistry and old world traditions. Having learned how to do handwork – embroidery, crochet, knitting and stitching – from his grandmother, Anthony started collecting anything vintage before he even started his business.
When he started making accessories, he was obsessed with vintage clasps and would always be on the lookout for local vintage gems, both when travelling abroad (Paris, Rome, London, Cairo etc) and in the States (different state sales, flea markets in NYC and other places). This brought him to the world of handbags: Anthony is fascinated about the history and the story of these women who would carry these beautiful bags. Who were those women and what was their lifestyle? What kind of events were they attending?
His collection of globally sourced vintage handbag clasps provided the spark and inspiration to launch his eponymous collection in 2000, with the intent to produce a luxurious line of day and evening bags of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Almost immediately, his bags filled the racks at some of the finest retailers in America, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Stanley Korshak.
Anthony likes to remake the bags using his imagination, his knowledge and research on the history of accessories throughout different centuries. He remakes the bag with contemporary twists and attaches it to the vintage frame.
ELAU welcomes the participants of Tallinn Design Night in the courtyard at the center of the festival. A connecting carpet, designed by Lylian Meister, divides the courtyard into three separate zones. A multi-purpose event space, raised garden beds and Extery pocket-park invite everyone to spend time outdoors, socialize and share thoughts on "green" topics. The yard is designed to have a lot of green elements, but the question is whether everything green is actually green in the sense that we want it to be.
In addition, GREEN YARD hosts the exhibition of landscape students' work.
As a natural building material, wood contains a unique richness which is impacted by many factors including climate and topography. Whether the building site is next to a forest or not, timber used in construction has been subjected to an industrial decision-making process that dictates its final physical properties. In this act of translation, where wood is often treated similarly to other inanimate materials, a tree's uniqueness is sacrificed for transportability, structural consistency and usability.
Focusing on the characteristics of wood, the exhibition explores the act of transformation across the life cycle of the material; from extraction to transportation, standardisation to encapsulation and eventual disassembly for potential reuse. In seeking out the unique traits of timber, we aim to question how industry and construction can learn from and be shaped by the inherent qualities of the material.

The newly introduced billing system may not go well with travel agents who have always been at loggerheads with airlines on extention of credit limit. Airlines including Jet Airways, IndiGo and SpiceJet may get into difficult situation as there are higher chances of agents failing to make timely payment.
Aerojet Travels, a Delhi-based travel agent, could not pay around Rs 50 crore (Rs0.50 billion) to airlines last month, making it the second big sales default in a year. Last April, Spring Travels failed to pay Rs 120 crore (Rs 1.20 billion) to airlines. Travel agents fear more such defaults after airlines halved their credit.

A source from the aviation industry says, "Aerojet Travels had given a bank and insurance guarantee to the International Air Transport Association (IATA's)'s billing and settlement plan but traded much above the limit. The default happened last month and a large chunk of the Rs 50 crore (Rs 0.50 billion) is due to Air India."
Air India and Aerojet Travels proprietor Maneesh Mehta did not respond to queries.

An IATA spokesperson said: "Aerojet Travels was suspended from participating in the billing and settlement plan when it failed to settle its due. Its passenger sales agency agreement is in the process of being terminated. This is also one of the reasons why the implementation of the weekly settlement is critical in minimising the risk exposure of airlines. We have been in contact with the affected airlines and are providing them with support in their recovery efforts."
Agents must furnish a bank or insurance guarantee to IATA as a cover in a new settlement mechanism that got going last month.

Airlines cap the number of tickets an agent can issue each fortnight based on these guarantees.
The cap can be changed on demand from the agent or based on its past sales. IATA provides airlines with a daily report on the sales of travel agents versus the guarantees they have provided.
The new mechanism requires agents to remit ticket sale collections after seven days, half the 15-day credit they had in the old system.
Agents are resisting the switch and plan to move the Supreme Court after the Karnataka High Court dismissed their petitions against the new mechanism. Iqbal Mulla, president, Travel Agents Association of India, said: "We are examining all legal options and plan to go to the Supreme Court. The seven-day payment cycle will hurt agents."

He further said."Corporate clients enjoy longer credit (periods) from agents and will not pay in seven days. There is no practice among companies to pay agents in advance. Agents take overdrafts from banks and managing working capital will be a challenge. If one payment is delayed, an agent's financials can go haywire. Airlines believe they can manage sales with a few large agents but should realise that when you put all your eggs in one, basket there is a risk."
Pradip Lulla, general secretary, Travel Agents Federation of India, said: "A weekly settlement system will be difficult to implement in India. Defaults will also impact the credibility of agents and clients will take advantage of the situation."

If stress really is just a state of mind then perhaps it's time to acknowledge the powerful role our thoughts play in the health of both mind and body. What we think about and how this makes us feel suddenly becomes very poignant.
Stress pops up everywhere. A little stress can be helpful to keep us focused and motivated as well as impressing upon us the perceived importance of some of the things we think about and experience. Too much stress for prolonged periods can create adverse reactions inside the body which suppress our immune system. Our body's natural programming allows us to cope with day-to-day stress and helps us to find ways to manage stressful situations. Often, we learn to manage stress instinctively without registering that we are in fact in a state of stress. This can lead to health problems if a build-up of stress-affected physiology is untreated and memorised at a molecular level.
People who are seriously ill can suffer compound stress due to the nature and suggestibility of their condition and its perceived outcomes. For cancer patients, stress can be experienced pre-diagnosis, upon diagnosis and prognosis, again when debilitating treatments are prescribed and also during interventions like surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It's at times like these that we really need the body's relaxation responses triggered to boost our immune system. So often though, it's the conditions of ill-health which instinctively activate our stress response which compromises our immunity even further. So, what if it was possible for us to change this cycle of response, train our relaxation response to override the onset of stress, and improve recovery rates?
Findings from a study conducted in 2011 at the University of Miami's Centre for Psycho-Oncology Research, led by Professor Michael H. Antoni1, revealed how stress management therapy helped a group of cancer patients during treatment. This study was one of the first to link psychological intervention with genetic expression and showed how Cognitive Behavioural Stress Management (CBSM), as a group-based intervention, had affected tumour-promoting processes at a molecular level. It found that genes in the cells of the immune system were turned on and off and in ways that may facilitate better recovery during treatment for breast cancer. A CBSM program was developed to combine relaxation, imagery, and deep breathing with cognitive behaviour therapy. The program was designed to help patients reduce bodily tension, change the way they dealt with intrusive and stressful thoughts, decrease negative moods, and improve interpersonal communication skills. In the study, 199 women undergoing primary treatment for stage III breast cancer were randomised into a ten-week CBSM program or a psycho-educational control group in the weeks following surgery. Six-month and 12-month follow-up assessments were conducted. For the women in the CBSM groups, there was better psychological adaptation to the whole process of going through treatment for breast cancer and there were physiological changes that indicated that the women were recovering better. The results suggest that stress management intervention mitigated the influence of the stress of cancer treatment and promoted recovery over the first year.
Perhaps this approach could be just as effective if used, adapted or refined for use in the treatment of all cancers, disease, serious illness, pain management and injury. It would be amazing to consider that a new approach to how we think about disease could create a much more relaxed change in the chemical physiology of our cells. This could help to boost the immune system and optimise timely health and performance outcomes as we open up to embrace, learn, adapt and apply new ways to focus the mind to condition the body back to health.

Values represent big shifts in life satisfaction, and therefore it is rare that projects will achieve large numbers of outcomes per individual. It is therefore recommended that selected outcomes should be closely aligned with programme/project aims, objectives or KPI's.
Doing so will make it easier to communicate the value of an project, and focus resources available on making the biggest impact.
If projects have clearly defined aims and social value, decision makers will be better informed. When social value is reported externally, careful selection of outcomes will help to avoid over criticism that the project is 'over-claiming'.

Soak your reed materials for a few minutes in warm water to make them pliable. Do not soak the wooden base.
Joan sanded her slotted base then cut 27 spokes 8" long from 1/4" Flat Oval, inserting them around the base evenly. Beginning with the #2 Round she wove about 7 rows and then used #3 Round in 3 different colors of blue (sky blue, Amish and navy blue) to complete the basket.
Above the final row of #3 Round is one row of 1/4" Flat which is covered by the rim. Every other spoke is cut and tucked to the inside; the remaining spokes are trimmed off.
Joan used a 3-strand braid of #3 Round dyed reed as her rim filler and 3/8" Flat Oval for rims. A double strand of waxed linen was used and the rims were double lashed--tying off the waxed linen on the inside of the basket when the lashing was completed.
Try your hand at this easy project with one of our new slotted wooden bases. Choose from round, oval, square, rectangular or oblong. Cut spokes a couple of inches longer than the height of your basket, add rows of plain or twill weave and finish with standard rims and lashing. Enjoy the creative adventure!
