right read lots of stuff about multiwii gui over bluetooth and android, but not many about the gui over bluetooth and a pc/laptop.
so found out that it's not that easy, sumit to do with windows bluetooth drivers and something called a 'stack', found the toshiba driver thingy but that didnt work, saw the one post about widcomm drivers, but it was to hard to find them; found some obscure site via the multiwii forum that was dealing with an arduino/bluetooth problems.
well the fix that they had worked out worked like a charm, all you got to do is replace this file in 2 places and heypresto multiwii gui over bluetooth on a windows 7 netbook.
the HP netbook would find the bluetooth module, install 2 serial com ports
but then it all went to poo, the 2 ports it installed 1 was incomming and 1 outgoing but it needs to bridge the com ports but windows standard drivers cant do it (well i could not get them to do it) so replaced the .dll file in the two locations making sure to backup the originals and took the plunge.
hooked up the bt to my shield and powered it up, then loaded the gui and hoped, up it came with the 2 com ports showing so i clicked the bottom of the 2 and it went green (so far so good) clicked start and it sprang into life.
did a little check everything was there and configurable, worked just like it was hooked up via usb.
so thinking this was a fluke i closed the gui unpluged the power to my shield and then repowered it up and re-ran the gui just to see if it would work again.
as if by magic up comes the gui and the 2 com ports and so clicked the bottom one and it worked just like before.
i also restarted the netbook because i thougth that a reboot was needed to test if it wasn't real, hooked up my shield to the gui via usb and that worked fine, then tryed with the BT again and it still works.
now i can take my netbook with me to the field and make whatever changes i want.
sorry if this has been posted before but i could not find a simple fix, so here it is, tested with the dev version working fine.
this abbility to do some realtime debuging is great, with the addition of some windows screen grabber software, i can now video the gui and then play them back to see just what was going on during pid setup and tuning.
as long as you dont go out of range of the BT you should be fine.
Now i need a way of software switching the BT module on and off via my tx?,
as i dont code i will be relying on the experiance of others to help me with this problem.
not sure if this is poss but i dont see why not, all i need to have is it hooked up to vcc, gnd, rx, tx and be able to software switch the the vcc line.
i hope!!??
many thanks RCT

CHENNAI: The All India Rajinikanth Fans Association today said it has not authorised any individual to speak in TV debates on its behalf.
The association also made it clear that "official views on matters of importance will be disclosed only after the announcement of his (Rajinikanth) political party."
According to a release from VM Sudhakar, Administrator of the association, some individuals were appearing in TV channels as supporters of the actor and were "expressing their personal views in debates."
"It is informed that All India Rajinikanth Fans Association/Rajini Makkal Mandram has not authorised any such individuals to appeal in TV debates on its behalf and views expressed by them do not have our endorsement," it said.
The views expressed by such individuals "do not reflect our official position in such matters," it added.
As stated by our leader Rajinikanth on December 31, 2017, we once again clarify that official views on matters of importance will be disclosed only after the announcement of his political party," the release added.
Announcing his political entry December 31, Rajinikanth had said he would launch his own party which will contest all 234 constituencies in the next state assembly polls.

The more we pause the more we recognize that the moment is a weather system passing through. Sometimes clear, sometimes intense storms pass through. Over time we recognize that we are not the weather. We have little control over the weather but rich resources to explore how we relate to it.

Faculty & Staff Spotlights
IU East professor brings art, science together through 3-D maps
Apr. 13, 2016
Carrie Longley is taking visual communication to a whole new level.
The assistant professor of fine arts at IU East has taken on the challenge of creating a three-dimensional map to make scientific data more user-friendly.
Longley is completing an exhibit for "Places and Spaces: Mapping Science Exhibition," an IU-based collaboration of digital maps that represent 30 different scientific disciplines. She will present her work to date in a lecture titled "Recontextualizing Form and Surface" at noon April 18 in Woodburn Hall Room 200.
Longley said the idea for the project came from Katy Börner, a professor of information sciences at IU Bloomington who created the "Places and Spaces" digital exhibition, in spring 2014. Börner asked Longley if she would be interested in creating an exhibit that made scientific data easier to conceptualize.
Because Longley's style is heavily based in organic growth and movement, she was an ideal candidate for the challenge.
"This is very biomorphic," she said. "It's organic and it's three-dimensional."
While Longley said she'd never done a 3-D collaboration like this before, the project made sense to her. Data doesn't grow in just one direction, she said. Instead, it morphs three-dimensionally, changing in a variety of ways and moving organically.
The project Longley took on involves visually illustrating how different scientific disciplines connect to each other.
Think of it as a family tree of sciences. In fact, Longley's design revolves around a tree-shaped design for that specific reason: It allows for connections and growth in all directions.
"And that's a very traditional way of organizing knowledge growth," she said.
Longley said her design has a central stem with growth platforms for each of the different disciplines that grow into each other. Essentially, the "trunk" of the display acts as a timeline.
The struggle, she said, was to decide what size to make each platform. After much thought, she realized the best way was to relate the size of the science in the model to the size of the science in the universe. Using this model, her structure makes cosmology the largest platform, while sciences such as mathematics or logic are much smaller.
"That was like a huge epiphany for me," she said.
The sculpture is also interactive, Longley said. The relations between disciplines are shown via tunnels on the tree, and a viewer can approach her sculpture and send a marble running down the tunnels from platform to platform, connecting science and its concepts.
So far, Longley said, she has completed several models for practice -- a 1/16-scale model and a 1/4-scale -- for what will eventually become a final, 4-foot tall sculpture. Though her work won't be finished until summer, Longley expects to display her two scale models at her April 18 lecture.
"I'll be showing viewers all of these idea sketches," she said. "I'll be showing my process."
Looking at the work she has completed so far, Longley said, she was really challenged as an artist. To her, visual language is about multiple vantage points and the meaning of concepts like form, surface and color.
"This project has really challenged me to think about every surface, texture," she said.
This project challenged Longley in the form of materials and scale as well. Generally working with clay on projects that were no more than 30 inches tall, she has now put more than two years of work into a 4-foot-tall project made out of foam, resin, fiberglass and steel. This is also her first attempt at a piece of interactive art.
"I'm uncertain about that, and it will be really challenging for me," she said.
Longley also realized how involved the process of creating art around a data set can be. With every decision being tied to information, she has found that there is less creative freedom involved.
"I've never, ever thought so much about a piece of art in my life," she said.
Along with wanting to present accurate information, Longley said she still wants the sculpture to be visually appealing while it sends a message to and educates its audience.
"It reinforces the fact that I am a visual communicator," she said.
Longley's work aligns with priorities outlined in the university's Bicentennial Strategic Plan, including a vibrant community of scholars and creating a culture of building and making.

Creating an alternative Wall Christmas tree can be a fun idea, but also a creative way to get the whole family involved. One of the beauties of this tree is, that it can be undone without damaging, drilling holes or sticking anything that leaves marks on your wall. All this thanks to Command's ingenious products.
Command products have a very strong adhesive that can be removed with no hassle if you use it on any non-glossy surfaces including glass, tiles as well as wood and painted walls. So you can create your Christmas tree on your window, above your fireplace or wherever you feel like around your home.
A little bit more about my tree.
So, I had a really nice long walk in the park from work thinking about how I am going to create my Christmas Tree this year. Last year, I used tape and Fuji film install prints which you can read all about in my Unconventional Christmas tree post here. Also, I have previously created advent calendars like this one and another one here. I think using wood, was my favourite option because it is cheap (free even because you can pick up tree branches anywhere!) plus Command products are inexpensive, readily available and blend into your decorating. Then all you'll need is a piece of string, decorations and Fairy lights which you will definitely have from last year so total cost of the tree will be far cheaper than any high street store typical plastic tree (which is super non-environment friendly by the way!)
Here are the step by step instructions to create this look:
1. Collect tree branches from around your house, forest or park (please don't cut off trees!)
2. Gather Fairy lights, decorations and string.
3. Buy products like Command Small Brushed Nickel Metal Hook from 3M with a strong holding power perfect for adding a decorative touch to the top of the tree as well as Command Clear Decorating Clips and Mini Hooks from 3M. (these will hold the fairy lights.
4. Start with placing your wood branches from small on top to bigger on the bottom.
Attach the wood together with a piece of string.
5. Start hanging your decorations on your Christmas tree. Any you like, just make sure these are not too heavy.
6. Prepare your wall to attach the tree, measure the overall height of your tree and place a Metal hook in the desired position. wait an hour before hanging the tree onto the top hook to let the adhesive bond
7. Use Decorating clips now to create the shape of your tree ( these will be underneath your tree). I will advise using fairly lights with a battery operated button so you can switch on and off when needed, and hide it behind the tree rather having any cables hanging around.
8. Attach your fairy lights on your decorating clips.
9. Once you are happy with your shape, hang your previously created Christmas tree and if needed easily change the location of your clips so all of the fairy lights are located behind your tree.
10. Hide your battery behind the tree and you are done.
Creating a Christmas tree like that is fun and it will definitely bring a joy to your home. It will look trendy yet the soft lights of your fairy tree will bring the festive mood to your space.

Motivation Series
"A healthy dose of motivation with a twist"
1. Don't eat for two people if you don't want to be one.
2. Eating with chopsticks instead of a fork makes it harder to eat fast. You will end up with less per bite.
3. Eat small, think small, be small. It all starts with the way you think.
4. Big mistake to eat on big dishes.
5. Weigh yourself once a week. It's a smart habit to start and will keep you one step ahead of the scale.
Motivating Tip
There are a lot of ways to eat less. Try new things to see what works for you and stick with it. The results will amaze you!
Motivating Quote
"Just because it's all-you-can-eat, doesn't mean you should eat it all"

Start of Tax Season
Tax season for tax year 2018 will start on time for most taxpayers. The IRS has announced that they will begin to accept e-filed tax returns on January 28, 2019. Certain refunds may still see delays, and the IRS plans to release details on its operational plans in the coming days. April 15, 2019 is the filing deadline to submit individual tax returns or file an extension.
Be Aware of Fraud Risk: Everyone is Getting those Scam Phone Calls
Scammers are calling, emailing claiming to be from the IRS and are becoming more sophisticated and aggressive in these scams. The IRS does not initiate communication with taxpayers through email, nor will they call and threaten you with arrest or hefty fines if you don't provide information or immediate payment. Bottom line: the IRS will always send taxpayers written notification of any tax due via the US Mail. If you have any questions or doubts related to a letter, phone call, or e-mail, please call us before providing any financial or personal information. For more information from the IRS regarding these "phishing" scams, click here.

Fictoid: if you want the right answer, ask the right question
the supernatural entity sat in the bar / nursing a drink / singing this song of woe:
It's always the same, billions and billions of times. Doesn't matter who, doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when; it's always the same deal, and it's always the same answer.
Here's what I offer them: I've got a job for you. It will be hard work, but it will never require more than forty hours a week from you. It may be difficult, at times distasteful, but it will never harm your body or soul.
It will be a meaningful job, a productive job. No one will be made to suffer in any way because of this job.
In return for forty hours a week of your best effort -- and there are benchmarks to determine this -- you may have anything and everything you want.
Let me repeat that: Anything and everything. As many mansions as you like, as many yachts, private jets, food, drink, toys, whatever. Things that haven't even been invented yet, things you can't even imagine will all be yours.
The catch? Why, yes, there is a catch. What ever you earn, the rest of humanity will get for free. You may not tell anybody about your job, you may not take credit for their easy lives. You will work thanklessly, anonymously, and for the rest of your life to provide a golden age for everyone else.
There is my offer: A lifetime of toil in return for a lifetime free of want, but you will be the only person who has to work for it.
Am I angel or devil? Your answer will reveal which you think I am.
And wouldn't you know it?
They all have
the same.

My collection of souvenirs is peculiar. No models of cars, trains or ships; or paintings or matchbooks from hotels around the world for me. I have a small collection of fossils picked up from the deserts and mountains of Sindh.
My first find was a pair of starfish fossils from just off Super Highway, about 70 km out of Karachi. The two were lying quite close to each other, undisturbed for a period of time that I could not comprehend at that time. Much later, I got a book on minerals, rocks and fossils and learned that every time I handled my fossils, I held in my hands a life form that lived in a very distant past: they, both Echinolampas, were from the Eocene period dating from 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago. These are no longer with me, having been gifted to my grand-niece and nephew in Canada.
But these earliest finds set off a fascination that has not died in nearly 40 years. I have since always walked with eyes down. Especially when I was walking in the Kirthar Mountains of Sindh or around their peripheries. Soon my collection grew. I found bi-valves: tiny cockles and palm-sized scallops that my book told me were from the Cretaceous period or about 100 million years old.
Then there was the large brain coral and an even larger ammonite. All these remains of marine creatures discovered more than a hundred kilometres inland reminded me of a time when that part of Sindh was under the sea.
On a trip to the historical fort of Rannikot in what was then Dadu district, I spotted a desiccated slope thinly littered with large pieces of timber. On closer examination I found that these were all fossilised. Hundreds of pieces of ancient trees completely turned to stone.
These were trees that had once stood tall and erect. They had taken root a few millions years after the prehistoric seas had receded and the land reclaimed by vegetation. This ancient landscape turned into forest where strange insects and mammals roamed feeding on the foliage of the trees whose trunks were now recumbent stone.
This turning into stone was no overnight event, however. Some ancient cataclysm had overturned the land, burying the forest deep where immense pressure over millions of years replaced the very structure of the timber, molecule by molecule, with whatever minerals the soil contained. A geologist later told me that colour of the fossil was taken from the mineral that transformed it to stone.
The beauty of the process was that it did not destroy the appearance of the timber: there were pieces with the bark intact. And this boggles the mind because this was no man-made process under extreme control to prevent damage. It was a huge upheaval that buried the forest. Yet, it was as if a part of the tree had just sheared off without breaking even a shred of the bark. It was easy to take the pieces as ordinary wood; only the dark shade and inordinate weight was a giveaway.
Among this collection of mine is a unique piece. Pale-coloured, an irregular rectangle (17×13 cm), it has a hole running through it. That is where a knot fell out when the tree yet lived! I am convinced that this has to be the only such piece to be found anywhere.
These souvenirs are all over my home. No one knows their value so they cannot be stolen. Few friends, and only those who are erudite, know what I have and only they pause to admire them and handle these pieces that lived eons before the first humans walked the face of the earth.

Drinking and reading are the two things that are best. That's why the smart people at Warner Bros. have teamed up with Lot18 to sell The Lord of the Rings-themed wine. They might have unnecessarily split The Hobbit into three two and a half hour movies, but they're beginning to understand what the people want.
Lot18's wines are each named after a fan favorite character: Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, and Galadriel. The labels are works of art on their own and I want them as posters. Aragorn's silhouette is stuffed with a landscape of Minas Tirith, a fellbeast flying overhead. Is the fellbeast heading toward or away from King Aragorn's white throne room? That is up to you dreaming drinkers to decide.
Get a load of each lovely label (courtesy of Entertainment Weekly) and Lot18's descriptions of each wine (for those of you who pretend to understand what words like "complex" and "subtle" and "sturdy" means re: wine).
2016 Gandalf Monterey County Pinot Noir
Image Via Entertainment Weekly
The great wizard Gandalf can only be embodied by a variety as respected and celebrated as Pinot Noir. Like the wise old wanderer, this subtle yet complex red is unassuming at first glance, but quickly revealed to be spirited and persuasive, with black raspberry, alpine strawberry and forest floor flavors casting a spell over your palate, bringing you back for sip after sip. Give in to your sense of adventure and follow along.
2016 Frodo Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel
Image Via Entertainment Weekly
As honest and pure as a hobbit's heart, this Zinfandel is crafted in honor of the most adventurous one of them all: Frodo Baggins, keeper of the ring. And just as hobbits are sturdier than they appear, so are the old vines that produced this red, which have endured for decades to survive – and flourish – against all odds. Vibrant flavors of blackberry, fig and spiced plum carry through to the warm, pleasing finish of this reliable wine.
2016 Galadriel Bordeaux Blanc
Image Via Entertainment Weekly
The most noble, beautiful and powerful of the elven women is honored by this high-toned wine, a Bordeaux Blanc with piercing citrus flavors and remarkable concentration. Just as Galadriel is revered by the tree people and all those graced by her presence, this impressive white is a true crowd pleaser, imbuing an immediate sense of devotion with its charming embrace. Take a sip and fall under its ethereal spell.
2015 Aragorn Appellation Lussac-St. Émilion Contrôlée
Image Via Entertainment Weekly
If ever there was a wine fit for a king as mighty and honorable as Aragorn, this is it. A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec, this unmatched red is from the Lussac-St.-Émilion appellation, once the site of historic battles and dreams of victory. Rich, concentrated and built to last, it's intensely expressive of its terroir, displaying black-fruit flavors and polished tannins on the palate. Your quest for the consummate drinking experience ends here.

Fall sessions but first let's talk about UNITED!
While I upload these gorgeous families photos onto this blog I am also writing a packing list (yes I write tons of lists) for my United Photo Conference in less than two weeks. You guys I'm going to the desert to learn, grow, and photograph gorgeous sessions! I'm just screaming of excitement in my head. First of all to have a husband that supports that growth financially and physically (I'll be gone for more than a weekend!) is a huge blessing. And then to have a mom who can take off work and help watch our kids is a pretty big deal. I think its so important to focus on your craft but sometimes its hard when you're doing 2 million things with two kids, being in the military and 2 small businesses. (I can't help but volunteer for everything. It's a problem sometimes.)
But it's my time for photography and it was my goal for 2016-- to attend some sort of photography workshop. And this one is going to be amazing! I can't wait to share more of my adventure to Arizona!

This tweet brings up a very interesting angle on the mHealth arena. I have already written a lot about the intense growth of mHealth in underdeveloped areas, and specifically in Africa. I have made it very clear that mobile phones and the new apps and devices that utilize that will save many lives in these countries where the healthcare is more sparse, and in some cases, nonexistent.
Like most people I have three or four old cellphones floating around my house that get used mostly as toys by my kids. Hope Phones is trying to put those phones to good use, and prevent them from doing harm to the environment. The dual benefit nature of their mission is something worth recognizing.
I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone that cellphones are full of chemicals and other things that are bad for the environment. If we can eliminate even a small percentage of the millions of cell phones going in the garbage then we are having an impact for good.
Maybe more importantly, if we can put those phones in the hands of people that could use them to improve their quality of life then we have done even more good in the world. It is sad how much stuff in this world gets thrown away that could be used by other people. It is a trite phrase that, "One man's trash is another man's treasure," but it is anything but trite when you consider that this action could quite literally save someone's life.
For more information about Hope Phones, and to learn how you can contribute to their cause, please visit their website.

This morning, we woke up early and ate breakfast on our balcony. We knew our day would be filled with a lot of walking, so we wore our tennis shoes this time. We would be taking the bus to Fira, and then hiking from Fira to Oia, which is about 6 miles. It's not a long hike, but the hills can be steep and the terrain is rugged (mostly dirt and loose rocks).

Once upon a time there was an 18-year old-woman who was expecting her first child, she spent her days waiting and reading glossy magazines about perfect pregnancies, blissful births and babies, and day-dreaming about her perfect, normal family-to-be. She imagined sunshine yellow nursery walls, a beautifully expensive cot neatly tucked in the corner, a constant stack of always-sterilised bottles stored away in the kitchen, how beautiful the family photos of her 50th wedding anniversary would look, and also the saintly childminder who would step gallantly in so that she might pursue a career, weekends away, spa days… Then her baby was born, and well, let's just cut to the present now shall we?!
I'm Amelia Loulli, a divorced single-mother of three, living in the Lake District, hundreds of miles from my original 'home' and family in the South of England. My "perfect", "normal" family-to-be began, and it about broke me open and shattered everything I thought I knew or could imagine about being a mother. Since then, I've learned about so many things I'd never heard about before, from attachment parenting and natural birth, to breastfeeding on demand, the family bed, baby-led-weaning, holistic parenting, natural remedies, and home-education.
My eldest daughter is now approaching 14 years old, and along the way I've been more amazed, confused, stretched, inspired, defeated, victorious, exhausted and exhilarated than I ever knew possible, and I'm still learning. One thing is for sure, on this mothering journey with my kids, things are always changing, and what I thought I knew last week, needs re-learning the next. Somehow though, amongst the house-moves, the divorce, the business start-up for me, the stint in school for them, the general challenges of single-parenting, working as a piano teacher, actor and writer, studying for a degree and a yoga teacher qualification, whilst home-educating and just generally living, we seem to have fallen (not always so gracefully) into a mostly-happy rhythmic state of mild to minimal chaos, and it's from that place I'll be sharing what life as a home-educating mum, living with my three incredible teachers is like.
There never were any sunshine yellow nursery walls (though we do havea yellow kitchen now!), nor a beautifully expensive cot, but there have been thousands of nights spent as a family, sleeping soundly (and not-so-soundly) within the same four walls (indeed often there still are). Whilst I never did learn to crack the mystery of how to have that "normal", "perfectly" behaved set of children, I do have the most amazing conversations, debates and adventures with my brood (on here I'll call them Cubs) and they teach me all the time to let go of that pre-conceived idea of what being a family "should" look like… They're everything the spiritual books and the yoga classes and the philosophical teachings seek to explain, right there for me, every single day- to remind me over and over – Love. What. Is.
My Gurus then are: Cub13, who loves to cook, help out with little ones, and write letters to her friends; Cub11, a bonafide Bibliophile, who has read the Harry Potter series an amount of times which is certainly in double figures, and who, when he isn't reading, is mostly found scratching around in his colour-coordinated Lego drawers, making some amazing builds; and Cub8, who loves to play the piano, put on shows, make videos, be generally dramatic anyway she can, and to draw and paint.
In fourteen years, there never has been a childminder (or a spa day!), and our story has taken a somewhat wobbly, forked road, but that means I get to learn and train and seek to find my own path right alongside my kids, however messy and brilliant and tiring and noisy that might get. I hope you'll enjoy hearing about some of it here. 🙂

An awareness campaign on MLP by our Nature club students on the school Open day
-Ms Lakshmi Krishna
An awareness campaign was organised by the members of the nature club on 24th November, 2018 coinciding with the class Open Day. A display of eco friendly articles was provided to the visitors and was showcased as an alternative to plastic materials. Awareness about Multi Layered Plastic was provided to the parents. It also served as a refresher for the students. All the visitors wrote a pledge to stop using plastic articles and use alternatives. Around 200 parents took this pledge. A group of 10 students manned the booth creating awareness about alternatives of plastic.
Indeed a conscientious approach and outstanding initiative by the students of the school Nature Club!

Dalic to speak with Lovren about Ramos comments
Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic says he will speak privately to Dejan Lovren over comments he made about Sergio Ramos.
Lovren appeared to take aim at Spain captain Ramos in the aftermath of Croatia's 3-2 Nations League victory over Luis Enrique's side in Zagreb on Thursday.
In an Instagram live video, the Liverpool defender inferred that he had elbowed Ramos deliberately when competing for a header.
Lovren also said: "Aha! Aha! 3-2! And you just keep talking at the press conference, dude. They are just p*ssies!"
Then, when asked by a fan whether he had elbowed Ramos for 'for Mohamed Salah', Lovren replied with a love heart emoji, hinting that this was the case.
When asked about Lovren's comments ahead of Croatia's Nations League decider with England on Sunday, coach Dalic confirmed he would be speaking to the former Southampton man.
"I will talk personally with Dejan, but that will stay between us and the squad. I don't want to talk publicly about this," he said.
Ramos was the player who clashed with Salah during the Champions League final in May, with the Egyptian ultimately being forced off with a shoulder injury.
The Real Madrid defender was forced to defend his actions after the game, denying he had deliberately set out to injure the Liverpool forward.
That did little to pacify Salah's Liverpool's teammates, who were left furious with what some felt was cynical and pre-meditated behaviour from the 32-year-old.
Lovren in particular has been critical of Ramos in the months since Liverpool's defeat in Kiev.
In the build-up to Thursday's game, Lovren claimed Ramos was overrated and the quality of his Real Madrid teammates masked any mistakes he made on the pitch.
Ramos refused to rise to the defender's barb, but that didn't stop Lovren continuing his criticism of the Real Madrid man after the game.
Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk also appeared to add more fuel to the fire when on Friday he said Ramos was neither the best defender, nor his favourite.
Ramos found himself on the scoresheet during Thursday's match in Zagreb but two goals from Tin Jedvaj secured a famous 3-2 victory for Croatia.
As a result Croatia can win the group and qualify for next summer's Nations League finals with a win over England at Wembley on Sunday.

When asked about the wildest things she'd ever done Kozer responded "Well, I am pretty adventuresome," adding, "Most of my 'wild' things involve adventure and romance. In fact, as you can see at left, it appears Kozer--when posing for her official "Joe Millionaire" portrait--was outfitted in the same beige turtleneck and earrings that she wore during one bondage flick.

A great night with around 25 kids for our Friday club. Tiffies, Leah and Mel led some fun singing together in preparation for our family night next Friday. Our kids choir also had a wee practise for this. Tiffies then showed a video clip of Derek Redmond in the 1992 Olympics when he lost his chance to win gold through a hamstring injury. He determined to finish the race, at which point his dad came on to the track and supported him to the end. Tiffies spoke about God as our Father and how He wants to be by our side to help us. We then enjoyed games, arts and crafts and giant jenga.
In our Student Zone David got the giant jenga out again for our older group. Jenny and Leah then led a song before Zander spoke. He introduced a drama that we watched on video together. It gave a visual representation of how sin can pull us away from
Jesus, becoming harder and harder to break free from it. It also showed how Jesus does not give up on us and when we begin to cry out to Him He breaks the power of sin by taking it on Himself. We then discussed in groups what we had seen and how we could relate to it. It had a strong impact on many of the young people. We came back together to discuss our thoughts in a bigger group and watched the clip again before we closed in prayer.

One of the first things that I found valuable in reading "Storyline" was the idea of beginning a process of working on our story with a spiritual exercise. Sit quietly with your palms up resting on your knees. It is a posture of openness and readiness to receive from God. This posture is something I have used often for years but in the rush of the day I have not used it often enough. Yet, the sheer physicality of this act has involved my body and soul in readiness to imagine a whole new adventure.
As you sit with your palms up imagine yourself ten years from now. Where are you? What have you done over the last ten years? What were the really meaningful and important things over the last ten years? We can't know, of course, but there are things that float to the surface like relationships, being used by God in meaningful ways, and other vital things of life float to the surface. Money and other trivial matters become less important. Try this exercise today.
What is God doing in the world and what part does God want you to play? He wants you to use your talents, passions, ideas, and interests to fulfill your purpose and destiny. Are you running out of time? Well, time only matters if it has limits. God created time. Just begin. Gaining mental, emotional, and spiritual clarity is so important to finding meaning for the time you have – no matter how much time you have.
Be Well….

Nine comments
Finbarr Dwyer
I learnt this tune from the Finbarr Dwyer recording "Accordion music from the Soul". It certainly sound like it could indeed be one of his own compositions. It's quite a difficult tune (even for box players) but has that unmistakeable Dwyer stamp on it.
I think it's a fantastic tune and, if it his one of Finbarr's, then I think it's one of his best. I've never heard it played elsewhere so I'm going to try and give it a bit more publicity next time I'm around at sessions.
Bear in mind, this is a very difficult tune to transcribe and I found it particularly difficult to find out what exact notes FInbarr was playing in bar 5 and 13 (ie bar 5 of part 2). That semiquaver G before the A roll in bar 5 is not a mistake. Listen to his playing and you'll something along those lines. Now, I think he's throwing some trick there which is very hard to notate or transcribe. He may be playing an A, and E together giving a chord effect. I'm not exactly sure, but this version is very close anyway.
By the way, my adequate standard of Irish tells me that Clais an Adhmid mean "The Wooden Sword" or "The Oak Sword".
Roman soldiers - or gladiators, or both - are said to have trained with wooden swords twice as heavy as their metal combat swords. This would have (a) made them fitter and (b) preventing them from skewering their mates. I wonder if the Gaels followed this commonsensical practise - or indeed, the other earlier inhabitants of ROI / UK.
After all, if the sword was only wooden it gave you an excuse to clobber someone you didn't like *really* hard.
Damien Mullane version
First tune in this set is Clais an Adhmid. Not a very nice version…
perhaps you would like to upload a better version 52Paddy?
Perhaps I would :)
Re: Clais An Adhmid
Great version of a great tune! (Second in set)
Re: Clais An Adhmid
I wanted to learn this tune but my instrument wouldn't reach the lowest note. :(
Re: Clais An Adhmid
Indeed, this is one for the box players, that's a low E in bar 5 not a G as Patrick thought, thus a note below the range of the fiddle.

Making your individual repairs to your property saves you time, fear and cash, however you must not overlook some security considerations when performing these repairs. First, minimize a chunk of drywall that's barely bigger than the hole you are trying to restore. In any case, some minor drywall harm could be dealt with as a comparatively fast and easy handyman challenge. If you're patching a lot of holes and different damage, prime the patched partitions earlier than repainting – especially in the event you're selecting a semi-gloss or shinier finish.
All it's important to do now could be prime the patch using a drywall primer then paint the patch to match the present wall shade. Use a drywall knife to cover the patch with light-weight joint compound in a crisscross pattern, feathering the sides so it blends with the wall. End the repair with several coats of drywall compound. Clean the dried compound with a hand sander fitted with coarse sanding mesh.
So as to add durability to the restore, the contractor could apply an adhesive patch product of aluminum screen to the dried and sanded compound. However double check the thickness of your existing drywall earlier than heading to your native unbiased home improvement retailer. Two coats of drywall compound, applied with two swipes of the knife in a +" sample, ought to fill the holes (Photograph three). The primary coat will shrink a bit, leaving a slightly smaller dent to be filled by the second coat.
The most common kind of drywall restore actually does not require a patch. Then reduce out the part with a drywall saw or utility knife. However, this kind is just not as durable as all-purpose compound, which makes it less supreme for larger holes. Usually, as long as the outlet may be lined with what handymen consult with as a "patch," the restore will probably be a flat fee.
Sizes, are stiff sufficient to span holes and thin enough to disappear after taping and painting. For medium holes, use a drywall steel patch. You'll be able to create your personal patch to repair larger holes in drywall. Let it dry and sand it easy. Some repairs additionally could require a hand sander, a hacksaw, a nail bar and a degree. Sand it smooth and apply a second coat if obligatory.

Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra's nuptial celebrations ended in the capital on Sunday, 1 November with a grand reception held at one of the city's five star hotels.
Bhajji's friends from the cricket fraternity were in full attendance. But the most high profile names on the guest list were those of former prime minister Manmohan Singh and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Both dignitaries gave their blessings to the newly wed couple, although they were not photographed together.
Dr. Singh was seen wearing his trademark sky blue Turban and white kurta.
Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh, who are both close to Harbhajan were present at the event, as well.
Yuvraj was not involved in the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa, though Harbhajan and Virat Kohli were. Yuvraj and Harbhajan's friendship goes back to the time when both of them were budding cricketers at Bishan Singh Bedi's academy.

Unit 2: After the Storm
Geoscientists use data that include spatial and temporal context. In other words, the data have particular locations and times associated with them, and the distribution of those data in space and time are critical to their interpretation. You may not have worked with this kind of data before, so this unit will give you the opportunity to explore geoscience data in order to develop your geoscientific thinking skills and prepare for developing a lesson plan that makes use of geoscientific thinking for use in your classroom in the future.
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Describe climate change and its impact on the human-built systems such as coastal communities (Activity 2.1).
- Collect, organize, and analyze multiple lines of geoscience data (spatial and temporal) and describe the relationships and feedback loops among the data sets (Activity 2.2).
- Construct a concept map/model to illustrate systems thinking (e.g. feedback loops) by linking multiple lines of evidence of the impact of climate-related changes on coastal communities (Activity 2.2).
- Construct an evidence-based position paper to address the risks that climate change poses to coastal communities (Activity 2.3).
Note: Unit 2 has three activities. Use Tables 1, 2, and 3 (see handout links below) to record your work from Activity 1, 2 and 3 respectively. You will fill out Tables 1, 2 and 3 as a team to complete this unit. You might consider downloading the tables and then uploading them to Google Drive, where you can use the "sharing features" so that each member can add and edit information that the team collects.

Activity 2.1: The Issue
- Using Table 1: The Issue (OWL Chart), record and analyze the air temperature and CO2 data in the "observed" row using the links below. Afterward, record what you "wondered about" in the second row.
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Use figures 1, 2, and 3 from the Climate Change Indicators in the United States page.
- Earth System Research Laboratory (a division of NOAA): Examine all tabs from the Trends in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide page.
- Note: Do you notice any correlations between the temperature and CO2 data sets?

Assessment for Activity 2.1—The Muddiest Point
Describe what you think is the "muddiest point" related to climate change thus far. This can be about any new terminology, effects of climate change, or any other concept.
Activity 2.2: Investigating the Issue
Introduction to the Issue
Due to extreme weather events such as hurricanes, policy makers and private citizens—among others—wonder about the viability of spending billions of dollars of private and public money to rebuild coastal communities. For instance, Hurricane Sandy, which is anticipated to be the second costliest natural disaster, is estimated to cost at least $50 billion. This kind of weather event is hypothesized to be linked to climate change. To address the issue, the goal for this investigation is for you to write an evidence-based position paper that responds to the problem below.
Problem: To what extent should we build and/or rebuild coastal communities?
Position Paper Criteria:
Write a 500- to 1000-word position paper that . . .
- Makes an argument and supports the argument with reasons and evidence.
- Demonstrates organization and use of transitions to clarify relationships among ideas.
- Demonstrates use of a formal style and standard English.
General Procedures:
In groups of 2–3, follow the steps below (step 1, 2, 3 . . .) to collect, organize, and analyze geoscience climate data and forecast models. This data is the evidence for your position paper. In addition, read the most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This research is additional evidence for your position paper.
Step 1: Select a Study Area
In groups, select a coastal community study area. You may choose from the list below or choose a different study area (e.g. Boston). Every group must select a different study area.
- East Coast
Portland, ME
New York, NY
Outer Banks, NC
Charleston, SC
Miami, FL
- Gulf Coast
Tampa, FL
Mobile, AL
New Orleans, LA
Houston, TX
Galveston, TX
- West Coast
San Diego, CA
Los Angeles, CA
San Francisco, CA
Astoria, OR
Seattle, WA
Step 2: Research the Study Area
Use Google Earth and the Internet to describe the study area. You may divide the task from the list of guiding questions below. Record the group's findings in Table 2: Investigating the Problem.
- Google Earth: How densely developed is your area? Describe the topography (use 3D mode to see the relief, and hold the mouse over an area to show the elevation). What is the length of the shoreline? (You can measure this using the distance tool.) Has the urban area changed over time? (You can use the historical imagery tool.) Alternatively, you can also use the National Map Viewer in lieu of Google Earth.You can refer to the resources below if you need help using Google Earth.
- Web: What is the population? Demographics? Urbanization? How has this changed over time? What is the economic output of the region?
Step 3: Research Geoscience Data
Record a summary of the CO2 and temperature trends from Table 1: The Issue into Table 2: Investigating the Problem. Include the temperature data from your study area, too. Then, divide Data Set 1, 2 and 3 (see below) among the group members. For each data set, read the "Data Collection Procedures" and "Guided Analysis Questions" for assistance.
After you collect the data, construct a graph for each data set. Record the summaries and analyses of the data in Table 2.
Note:If you are unfamiliar with Google Earth, KML/KMZ files, or MS Excel graphing, you might want to use the Data Analysis Resources at the end of this handout. Ask your instructor for guidance, too.
- Data Set 1: Sea Level Trends (KMZ File 23kB Aug5 14)
Data source:
- This data set is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
- You can find out more about the data and how it was collected at NOAA's Sea Level Trends website.
Data Collection Procedure:
- The "up" or "down" arrows indicate locations with sea level data; select a minimum of three cities at/near your location. Select two or three locations outside of your area for comparison.
- Create a table and/or graph based on the guided questions below.
Guided Analysis Questions:
- What is the lowest recorded sea level data? When? What is the highest? When? What time range was the data collected? What is the rate of sea level change over this time period?
- How do the data differ among all selected locations? How are they similar?
- Data Set 2: Greenland Ice Sheet Trends (KMZ File 247kB Aug5 14)
Data source:
- This data set is from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) and was downloaded from its Virtual Globes website.
- You can find out more about the data and how it was collected at NSIDC's Greenland Ice Sheet Today website.
Data Collection Procedure (see YouTube tutorial' for these steps])
- Calculate the area with ice melt for 1985.
- Under "My Places," from the left-hand menu, right click on the icon and add a folder and title it (e.g. Greenland Ice Sheet).
- Click on the "add polygon" tool from the top menu bar. Create a polygon (four to five sides) of the area with ice melt (Note: You will need to make multiple polygons since it will be impossible to create one that accurately covers the desired area).
- When the pop-up window appears, label it (e.g. Area A). Once all of the polygons are created, copy the entire folder (with all of the polygons).
- Go to [link http://www.earthpoint.us/Shapes.aspx 'EarthPoint and paste this polygon folder into the text box. Under output, click on square miles.
- Then, use the "calculate result," and click on "view webpage" or view "Google Earth." Add the square miles for each polygon to calculate the total square miles.
- Repeat the steps for 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005.
- Create a graph to organize your data.
Guided Analysis Questions:
- How did the amount of days with ice melt change over the past several decades? What can you infer within the five-year interval?
- Data Set 3: Intensity of Tropical Cyclones (Excel 21kB Aug5 14)
Data source:
- This data set is from Kerry Emanuel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was downloaded from his website on tropical cyclones intensity and variability.
- You can find out more about the data and how it was collected by following the link above.
The data from the link above is the Atlantic tropical cyclone power dissipation and Main Development Region (MDR) sea surface temperature (SST) from 1949 to 2009. Below are key terms.
- A tropical cyclone is defined as a system that originates over tropical ocean waters and can develop into a destructive storm, which is known in the United States as a hurricane.
- Power dissipation is defined as the sum of the maximum one-minute sustained wind speed cubed, at six-hourly intervals, for all periods when the cyclone is at least tropical storm strength (minimum of 34 mph).
- MDR is defined as the region bounded by 6N and 18N, and 20W and 60W; note that the SST data is averaged from August through October of each year.
Data Collection Procedures:
- Use Google Earth and describe where the MDR is located.
- Download the data spreadsheet (click on link above). An MS spreadsheet will appear with three columns of data including: 1) Years, 2) the MDR SST, and 3) the Power Dissipation. Please follow the instructions below to create the graph.
- Highlight only the "MDR SST" and "Power Dissipation" data, including the labels (e.g. MDR SST). Click on the "Insert" tap at the top of the page.
- Click on "Line." Several options will appear. Click on "stacked line" option. A graph will appear—but the graph will not be organized properly.
- To organize the graph, double click on the "Power Dissipation" line on the graph itself. A box will appear titled "series options." Click on "secondary axis." A double line graph will appear with the MDR SST labels on the left-hand side and the Power Dissipation labels on the right-hand side.
- Next, fix the horizontal or x-axis. To do this, right click on the horizontal or x-axis. A menu will appear. Click on "select data source." Click the "edit" button on the horizontal axis labels. A new box will appear, "axis labels." Highlight the year column from 1949–2009 from the MS Excel sheet (do not highlight "year") and hit "ok."
- Finally, use the "layout tab" at the top of the page to label all axes and to create a title.
Guided Analysis Questions:
- What is the relationship between sea surface temperature and wind power? Is there a correlation between the two variables?
Step 4: Research Geoscience Forecast Models (optional—ask your instructor)
Analyze the forecast models from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate System Model. Use the air temperature anomaly models from various "scenarios" (e.g. low/ high CO2 emissions). Examine the US data and global data. Record your findings in Table 2.
Also, analyze the sea level change model from United States Geological Survey (USGS) Sea Level Rise Animations from the Center of Excellence for Geospatial Thinking. It is best to click onto the state (e.g. CT, NY, FL) that you are investigating. Record your findings in Table 2.
Step 5: Construct Initial Working Hypotheses
As a group, create a list of three or more "initial working hypotheses" that respond to the problem: To what extent are coastal communities at risk due to climate change? Record these initial hypotheses in Table 2. Consider the following questions when constructing your initial working hypotheses:
- What data sets (e.g. intensity of hurricanes) or products (forecast models) correlate or link to one another?
- Do certain data sets/products seem to affect others (e.g. feedback loops)? To what extent?
- How robust are these correlations, links, and feedback loops? What is the level of certainty?
- How might the working hypotheses predict the future of climate change for your community?
Step 6: Research the Literature
Read the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report titled: Summary for Policy Makers. You may divide the task among/between your group members. If you divide the task, you must teach what you learned to your teammates. Record all summaries in Table 2.
If you would like to find out more about how to address the problem, "To what extent should we build and/or rebuild coastal communities?" these additional resources will go into greater depth in each area:
You may be interested in finding out more about the science behind climate change and tropical cyclones. There has been a lot of research in this area, and here are a few resources to get you started:
Climate Change Indicators in the United States: Tropical Cyclone Activity from the EPA
Kerry Emanuel's Papers, Data, and Graphics Pertaining to Tropical Cyclone Trends and Variability
You may be interested in finding out more about the bigger societal issue: the costs of building/rebuilding. The links below are all to news articles that can get you started collecting information about the costs of rebuilding coastal communities.
Step 7: Construct a Climate Change Concept Map (Model) of Your Study Area
With your study area group, construct a concept map on poster paper with the evidence collected. This map must have links that depict the relationships (e.g. feedback loops) among the parts of the climate system as well as the human-built system (e.g. coastal communities).
Construction Procedures
- Based on what you have learned thus far, create a list of as many concepts that you can think of. Consider the following questions. Note: You may record these concepts on Post-its.
- What concepts correlate or link with one another?
- Do certain concepts seem to affect other concepts (e.g. feedback loops)? To what extent?
- How robust are these correlations, links, and feedback loops? What is the level of certainty?
- How might the working hypotheses predict the future of climate change from your community?
Evaluation Procedures
- Examine the "lines" and "arrows" that link the concepts to make sure they are valid.
- Rearrange and remove concepts to simplify the concept map.
- When you are satisfied with your concept map, make sure it is neat and clear.
Step 8: Feedback from Peers
Post your group's concept map. Each study area group will then evaluate the concept maps of other groups. Record what you "agree" with as well as what you "question" on Post-it notes and place them on the concept map.
After all of the group evaluations are complete, review the comments from your concept map. Record what others from the class agreed with as well as the questions others had about your concept map. Based on this feedback, make final revisions to your concept map.
Step 9: Revise the Working Hypotheses and Make Claims
Reexamine the "initial working hypotheses" from Table 2. In light of the new evidence, create a list of three or more revised hypotheses based on your concept map that provide evidence to answer the problem: To what extent should we build and/or rebuild coastal communities?
Finally, cite a claim that you wish to state—based on your revised working hypotheses—that clearly answers the problem. Record this in the last row of Table 2.
Assessment for Activity 2.2: I used to think . . . but now I know
Create a T-chart. On the left-hand side, write "I used to think" and on the right-hand side, write "but now I know." Complete the chart based on what you have learned thus far.
Activity 2.3: Constructing Your Argument
Write a position paper to respond to the unit problem: To what extent should we build and/or rebuild coastal communities?
As a group, complete Table 3: Constructing Your Argument. Each member should complete his or her own table. After you complete Table 3, independently write your 500- to 1000-word position paper. Review the criteria in the left-hand column as well as the performance levels.

We live to champion lesser-known vintage watch brands here at Time., brands that make great watches, but have somehow gotten overshadowed and overlooked. Companies such as Juvenia, still quietly making high quality watches for over 150 uninterrupted years.
Formed by Jacques Didisheim-Goldschmidt in Saint-Imier, Switzerland in 1860, Juvenia relocated shortly afterwards in La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of Switzerland's now-famous 'watch towns.' His son, Bernard, succeeded him and consolidated the two Juvenia workshops into a single one, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. There he set to work creating products of the highest quality and precision and of exceptional creativity, filing numerous patents, such as his patent in 1914 for the smallest movement constructed on a single level.
Juvenia became known for their extraordinary, avant-garde case designs, unusual time indications and architectural inspiration. Models such as the much imitated Mystère in 1940, an early mystery dial watch. The later Excentrique, with its curved star shaped case housing a quartz movement. The Arithmo from 1945, which was available as a pocket-watch wristwatch or desk clock, and was the world's first 'practical calculator watch' with its cutting edge built in slide rule. Or the 1950s Trigone, with its large triangular hands.
We're happy to have several stunning Juvenia models to share with you. Our 1960s Slimatic with its automatic calibre 1015 movement is in stunning NOS condition with NOS Kreisler Milanese style brand - complete with monthly calendar page holder. For more traditional tastes, a few beautifully classic manual wind 15J and 17J 1950s watches. If you find their architecturally influenced case designs appealing, then take a look at our stunning 1960s Mirror Dial or Asymmetric models.
In 1988, Juvenia was acquired by Hong Kong based Asia Commercial Holdings Ltd., and continue to make innovative designs such as the Sextant, with its unique time display, a new version of the classic Slimatic as well as other fine grade watches–just as they always have.

Arasan Rural Development Society
Focus: Rural Development, Education, Women, Elderly Care, Health
Arasan believe in a utopia where peace, gender justice and equality for disadvantaged women, children, the disabled and senior citizens prevail is not only plausible, but possible. They work to strengthen rural communities by providing equal opportunities to all underserved populations, from the oldest to the youngest members of society.
Imagine, you work your whole life, but are left alone with no spouse or children to care for you in your old age. This is the reality for many aging Indians, and if not for Arasan, many would end up on the street. But thanks to their Anthichcholai Old Age Home, those who might be homeless, now have shelter.
Mr Arumangam, 68, is one such beneficiary among 24 others. He thinks of the residence as his home and counts the staff and fellow residents as his family. He enjoys working in the Home's garden, growing vegetables for his neighbours. Others rear rabbits, doves, ducks and hens, keeping them engaged and active.
However, Arasan do not only care for the elderly - they also empower other marginalised groups to improve their situations so they do not end up in this same condition.
There are 2.3million separated and 'abandoned' women in India, left to support themselves and children with no support from their husbands, and nearly 1 million cases of domestic violence, abetment of suicide, and cruelty by husband have been filed across the country in just 10 years.
Many affected women have nowhere to turn and often end up living on the streets or committing suicide. ARDS' Swadhar Greh Home acts as a temporary shelter, providing counselling, legal aid, schooling, health services, and vocational and rehabilitation training for the women and their children.
Many impoverished daily wage earners in the village are part of the 'working poor' who must earn in order to provide for their families, but have no one to care for their children. This is where Arasan step in with their Crèche Centre. While their mothers work to better their family's conditions, the Centre offers a safe place for children to learn through play, teaches good health principles and provides a healthy meal.
Benefitting more than 1,000 women, children and elderly people annually, Arasan are changing lives one rural community at a time.
Help Arasan Rural Development Society change lives
Thank you! You can rest assured your contribution will be used to make a real difference
FRANCIS is one of 30 children under 6 years of age who looks forward to his time at the ARDS day care centre while his parents pick up recyclable trash to earn a living. Help feed these children for a year!

Over at Sandra Gidley MP's blog there is some debate about another complaint by her about a Tory "smear" leaflet which she says constitutes "a personal attack" that pains her. Some (not Guido) have questioned the veracity of her account. So I suggested she fax or email me the smear leaflet. Last night she replied thus;
"I can assure you that I am not in the business of lying – life is too short. I will get the leaflet faxed to you and hope that you will show yourself to be an honourable gentleman (nay – even an honourable rogue) and broadcast the fact on your web-site… "
No sign of the offending leaflet yet… fax number is 070-9201-2337 in case you have lost it.
UPDATE: Tory campaigners email to insist no such smear leaflet, no use of the offending "What has Sandra Gidley done about MRSA?" phrase. Its 2 days since Ms Gidley denied lying and told me she would get the leaflet faxed over. No hurry. But I will be mentioning it every day.
