Five Year Old Left On School Bus
LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) — A 5-year-old from north-central Idaho spent a half-hour alone in a parking lot after she was left on a school bus. Mom Miranda Main says when her daughter failed to show up last Wednesday she started calling school district officials. The Lewiston Tribune reports workers found her on the bus parked in a district lot. Assistant Superintendent Bob Donaldson says such mistakes are rare.

Tarmac around manhole cover breaking up
Reported in the Potholes category anonymously at 08:21, Sun 19 March 2017
Sent to Surrey County Council 4 minutes later
Pothole is on Christchurch Road 100 metres short of Pinewood Road heading towards A30. It is exactly on the line cyclists would naturally take. I have watched daily rapid deterioration and chunks of tarmac flying off.
Fixed promptly by BT who said it was a hazard. Impressive response - I think I reported it on a Sunday, someone checked it on Wed and stayed after dark until bollards and traffic lights had been put round it. Fixed on Thursday. Well done BT!
State changed to: Fixed

DOOMSTARKS is Ghostface Killah and MF Doom's new project and their new L.P. is rumored to be out very soon.
The song Victory Laps premiered on Hot 97 recently. The unremixed "Victory Laps" drops July 26th on iTunes, August 30th in its physical form on Nature Sound.
"The guys regrouped just this year and really started fine tuning and really trying to hone it in to make this thing a reality. I think just recently it really clicked for both of them what this project could be and how important it was really for the fans."
The new L.P. is rumored to be named Swift and Changeable, but other sources surrounding the project have stated that a title has not yet been decided on.

Customer service
It's not often that I meet someone who is better at customer service than me, but today I had the opportunity. Today while at work an older gentleman approached my co-worker and I and stated that he was looking for a pair of shorts like the ones that he was wearing. He stated that he had gotten them a year ago and wanted to get more like them. He was unsure which brand they were, so I directed him to a pair that looked like the ones he was looking for and left him to browse. My co-worker stayed with him and directed him to another section of shorts that I had not seen. When I looked up his back was turned towards her and her hand was clutching the back of his shorts. This startled me so much I let out a laugh-It was just that funny. She giggled as well but continued to help the customer. He found what he needed and grabbed another pair and went on his way. Quite happy. Though most of the time we grumble about how slovenly some of our customers are, the situation today made me think about their perspective of us-whether they are happy with the service they recieved. Never-and I mean never in million years would I have thought to or carried out pulling down that back of a customers pants to find out what brand they were, just so I could give them that little bit of extra help. So hat's off to my co-worker who taught me something new today as well as gave me a chuckle. Here's to looking forward to what tomorrow brings.
3WT– This weeks word-list is we have rubefacient, senticous, & divagations.
Jackson was not one prone to divagations but he was rarely alone with the child. Not all people really saw him as anything but a gardener, but Orion, upon first meeting him had given him a stately bow-as if he were royalty himself-and informed him from then on that should he ever be in need of her services he was but to command it. Not ask, mind, but command. It was one of the reasons people watched her closely. She had a way of seeing things that others missed altogether. It made her both great and dangerous.
"Miss Orion I have a question to ask of you? A favor, if you will?" Jackson watched as Orion looked around, pausing as she came past a ray of sunshine blazing through the windows. Looking at it, most would only see the dust motes whirling around-nothing at all special in that. But it gave Orion pause. It was that pause that alerted Jackson that something was amiss. Glancing around Jackson could not see or sense anything, but when he turned back to Orion, it was to find her looking intently at him with a finger to her lips. It was clear that he was to be quite.
Orion, knowing that they were not really alone but unable to tell Jackson this, waited as the gardener understood her request for caution. With an inclination of his head, Jackson struck up the conversation again. He put his question on hold for now, as he watched the child. "I have a new flower growing in the green house-a special one just for the comity, and well I was wondering if you would be so kind as to deliver it?"
"But of course Jackson. What kind of plant are we talking about? Is it one of your new hybrids? Is it senticous, like the last one? Can I have a look this afternoon after lessons?"
"Sure, sure miss. How about after the evening meal? It blooms when the moon rises" Jackson looked around carefully but saw nothing. He watched as Orion's brow furrowed. She was staring at the dust motes in a distracted manner. If asked, she would probably just say that she was looking at patterns. Jackson knew better. He would speak to her later.
To William listening in, this did not sound at all unusual. Everyone knew that Jackson had the finest green thumb on the entire planet and that Orion fallowed him around every chance she got, learning all she could about them. He slipped out of the doorway further into the room behind him. His face rubefacient as he slipped out using the hidden entrance-same way that he entered. There was nothing more to be learned here. He had wasted enough time here as it was.

Having watched a documentary i agree that this soviet offensive is sorely neglected compared to other WWII battles. I didn't even know of such a massive offensive operation. Significance of this battle is that the landmass the size of western europe was conquered in days & the immense logistics to move mass quantities of men & supplies from european front to the far east with much of it in secrecy.
The battle also resulted in a northern communist North Korea & the capture of Kurile & Sakhalin islands from the japanese.
What struck me was that the battles raged on even after their american allies dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan. Japanese forces were steamrolled by the red army since most of its heavier equipment & better units had been transferred to the Pacific front.

Last weekend, I visited the Centre Georges Pompidou with my friend Prerna. Centre Pompidou is a very popular Parisian museum and the building is a great example of post-modern style architecture. From the top of the building, you have a clear view of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Coeur & pretty Parisian rooftops. Last year when I visited France, I wanted to check it out but I ran out of time so I made sure I visited this year.
I love modern art and there were many amazing artworks in here by Picasso & Léger. I also saw amazing furniture design displays. We spent a few hours in here looking at the permanent collection.

Legomenon for
VOICE from the LOCUST GROVE
These disturbing texts were most likely composed by a younger contemporary of the Scholar — the latter of whom is almost without doubt the drunken man who appears halfway through the Writing whose setting gives this Author a name.
It is unusual (and unusually valuable) when two Authors in the archives corroborate one another's accounts: where their descriptions of events agree, we can take them as having happened as described; where they differ, we can evaluate each narrative in the light of the other, thereby enlarging our understanding not only of their authors' motivations, but also of the context out of which they speak.
Further, if the provisional attribution of more recently discovered Writings (see below) is validated, their Author came to earn, after many misadventures — and by fortuitous accident — the title Savior of the Archives, as described in the separate {Legomenon for "Peripatikos Soter"}).
It has been suggested that the Author of the VLG Writings is female, even that she can be identified with the subject of the "Romantic Impulse" Writing known as {The Exquisite Suzu}. This latter proposition is doubtful, perhaps itself romantic in impulse, but that does not preclude its plausibility — rather the opposite, in fact. If this contention could be upheld, the Writing becomes even more valuable: the unique contribution of a woman to a community of Authors otherwise exclusively male.
In {The Locust Grove}, probably written many years after the events it recounts, the narrator witnesses what appears to be the immediate aftermath of the Scholar's audience with the Council, during which his work was confiscated and he was dismissed from the Conference. The narrator is shaken by this scene, an inner event that bears fruit much later.
{The Retreat House} would seem to be a sequel, which — despite that it is a separate document — may well once have been contiguous with its predecessor narrative. This harrowing tale is without precedent in the archives, and some dubious critics have proposed that it is the evil fantasy — or, to be generous, an hallucination — of a mind unhinged. It is interesting to observe that the gender of its narrator is indeterminate, perhaps indeterminable.
Be that as it may, the remaining documents ascribed to this Author bespeak a benison that nearly unbearable suffering — real or imagined, it must be said — sometimes grants its subject. In {midnight_pain}, which seems to be a composite document, the sufferer finds comfort and even solace from an unlikely source; {The Man in the Moon} is a mere scrap, but its compressed image has great power; while {"Peripatikos Soter"}, whose opening paragraphs are much damaged (or deranged), finally confers upon the narrator an unlooked-for blessing — a totally improbable one, say the skeptics, as is their wont in such situations. One is tempted to respond, as the Remnant say, "Refusing to believe protects you from nothing."

Gardener Hollee Dumfries and Galloway
Gardener Hollee Dumfries and Galloway: If you find your garden in Hollee, Dumfries and Galloway looks untidy and in need of some care and attention, then then perhaps its time to get in touch with a local gardener to get it looking well ordered once again. Gardening certainly one of those tasks that we all put off until another day but alas, gardens don't stay as they are, until we're ready, they merely keep on growing and getting more untidy. As soon as you've made it tidy again, you must maintain it to keep it looking that way, thus routine visits from a top notch Hollee gardener will be called for to keep it looking good.
Gardeners and Gardening: Periodically everyone in Hollee could use a little assistance with the garden from a seasoned gardener. You might possibly require a total garden re-design from somebody who is experienced in the trade, or it might only be a case of having the hard work of landscaping and removal of waste in an overgrown and neglected garden. Whichever your situation, locating a knowledgeable gardener in Hollee, to save you precious time, work and in the long term, cash, is the preferred option.
Recognizing which plants and flowers are appropriate for your garden positioning, soil and more importantly your time and interest in the gardening experience, is a factor that any Hollee gardener can help you with. There isn't any point in landscaping and planting a garden, which will take a lot of money and work, if a couple of months down the line your shortage of ability or time leaves only a view of overgrown weeds and dead flowers.
If you lack the time to keep your garden in tip-top shape then it might be worthwhile to employ a pro gardener on a part or full-time basis to guarantee that you have a garden you can be happy with, and which will doubtless be the envy of your friends and neighbours in Hollee.
It is critical that if you choose to use a gardener to care for and maintain your garden in Hollee, that you realize the hours that will be necessary to achieve your aims. Most people think that possibly 1 or 2 hours a week might be sufficient to do this, but this is actually being unrealistic. Should you only work on your garden for that period of time you would quite quickly think it's looking neglected and uncared for. Make sure you are accepting while going over the time necessary plus evaluate the expertise, specialist equipment and effort required to give good results.
A lot of professional gardeners in Hollee will probably have qualifications in horticulture or years of hands on experience which may also have included doing volunteer work with nationally acknowledged conservation and wildlife trusts. Some of the qualifications to look out for involve accreditation from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) which many aspiring gardeners can take part-time whilst working and acquiring valuable experience. There are likewise opportunities within gardening companies for staff to acquire City and Guilds (Level 2 and 3). Obviously, if you only need your hedges cut and your lawn trimmed in Hollee, gardening qualifications will not be an important issue for you.
If are hoping for a marvelous garden, your local Hollee gardener will help you accomplish that without needing any actual effort from you. Simply tell him or her exactly what you want and allow them to work their magic. Most experienced gardeners will be more than willing to advise you about what sort of shrubs and plants you ought to have, what layouts will best suit your garden and how best to maintain it so it will always look wonderful.
You needn't be scared to quiz friends and family with regards to gardeners in the area, you could be quite surprised to discover others who also have required help to obtain a garden that's the envy of their neighbours.
Most local gardeners should offer gardening and landscaping in Hollee, gardening makeovers in Hollee, pathway and decking rubbish cleared in Hollee, gardening quotes in Hollee, patios maintained in Hollee, commercial garden maintenance in Hollee, tree surgery in Hollee, garden ponds designed in Hollee, cheap garden services in Hollee, garden sheds treated in Hollee, fences and sheds creosoted in Hollee, patio decking assembled in Hollee, flower bed planting and weeding in Hollee, grass and lawn turfing and sowing in Hollee, bedding plants in Hollee, leaf debris disposed of in Hollee, planning of gardens in Hollee, gazebos and pergolas in Hollee, garden trellis and planters in Hollee, low cost garden maintenance in Hollee, specialist garden care in Hollee, garden digging in Hollee, garden upkeep in Hollee, garden landscaping in Hollee, garden furniture maintained in Hollee, domestic garden care in Hollee, lawn mowing in Hollee, garden clearances in Hollee, garden fences and gates treated in Hollee and related gardening services in Hollee, Dumfries and Galloway.
While you more than likely found posting hunting for a gardener in Hollee, you might also be interested in wooden decking in Hollee, greenhouses in Hollee, garden clearances in Hollee, patios in Hollee, water features/ponds in Hollee, hard landscaping in Hollee, garden driveways in Hollee, garden gates/fencing in Hollee, garden furniture in Hollee or garden designers in Hollee, Dumfries and Galloway.

I had a Facebook message from Bock this morning, noting how seemingly impossible it is to have civil and intelligent conversation about Israel/Palestine. In part, no doubt that's because of the huge lose of life in Gaza, primarily at the hands of the IDF. But Megan McArdle reckons it's because when nationalisms of any sort contend, sense and reason go out the window. Elsewhere she notes the similarities between the Irish Lobby with the Jewish Lobby in the States, and she highlights the former of which led her own country's decided ambivalence towards the IRA before 9/11. To Daniel Larison, it is unsurprising:
For a country nursed on Anglophobia, Irish republicanism appeared as a sister movement to our own fight for independence. This is one reason why comparisons with the Irish republican cause could make Walts counterfactual stronger (i.e., political or ideological affinities with a particular group will sometimes override moral and strategic considerations). This sentiment would have continued to be extremely strong, had more significant great power priorities taken over from midcentury on.
The idea of Liberty, he reckons, is the tie that bound US sentiment to Irish Republicanism:
Our boosting of anti-British nationalists was more ideological, in that we were not imperial rivals with Britain, but it bore strong similarities to the adoration the British heaped on Abd-al Kadir when he was fighting the French and the encouragement the Germans gave to the Afrikaners and caliphalists in India. For that matter, Fenian rhetoric was always casting the cause of Irish independence as part of a universal struggle between liberty and tyranny; anyone who has ever heard The Foggy Dew or A Nation Once Again will understand this.
And there's a nice little addendum to this argument:
In addition to the ideological affinities that Americans felt with Irish rebels, even after the British became major allies there was a concerted effort from Washington starting with FDR to dismantle the British Empire as quickly as possible. For those still interested in that agenda, the continued British control of Northern Ireland represented one of the final holdouts of the empire, so support for Irish republicanism would have followed naturally from that.
Then Jonah Goldberg refute's McArdle's comparison between publicly favourable sentiment towards the IRA and similarly emotive echoes in favour of Israel:
In the case of Israel, sure, I have my ethnic sympathies, but I have never made arguments for Israel based on any of them. And, truth be told, most supporters of Israel don't make "ethnic" arguments either (which is a big hole in McArdle's analogy to the IRA). Israel's critics acribe such motives to Israel's supporters, sometimes accurately to be sure. But not nearly so often in good faith. They go after the putatively ethnic motives of Israel supporters in order to avoid the public arguments of Israel supporters.
The decisive turning point was undoubtedly 9/11. It may shut down the flow of sympathy and political capital towards Ireland, but not Israel. Brendan Simms has noted:
…the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York changed everything. By chance, the US presidential envoy to Northern Ireland, Richard Haass was meeting Gerry Adams on the very day the towers came down, and the latter was left in no doubt that the game was up for what he later revealingly dubbed "ethically indefensible terrorism".
By contrast, as Alex Massie notes, it formed a startling disjuncture with the past:
Clinton made plenty of phone calls and a visit or two. But when push came to shove he refused to put additional pressure on Sinn Fein and the IRA. Consequently the Good Friday Agreement was signed despite there being a crippling ambiguity on the question of decommissioning terrorist arms. The failure to resolve that problem would cripple the peace "settlement" for years, helping to hollow-out the centre of Northern Irish politics, leading us to the present happy state of play: government by bigots and murderers.
This wasn't, obviously, all Clinton's fault. Nontheless one reason Tony Blair lost faith in the american president was Clinton's habit of promising to lean on the Republican movement and then signally failing to follow his promises with, like, actual action. The State Department may have been hostile to the IRA -it opposed giving Gerry Adams visas to enter the US – but the rest of the US government, including the likes of Tony Lake at the National Security Council was entirely sympathetic to the "cause" of Irish Republicanism.
Which brings to mind that great quote from a State Department official in Mary Alice Clancy's thesis: "Clinton is a st, but ultimately he is a thinking mans st".
9/11 would eventually provide the Bush White House with sufficient clarity and purpose to drive on from the legacy position bequeathed them by Clinton. It didn't happen right away. Clancy again:
"It appears that Haass's concerns about dissidents most likely stemmed from his growing relationship with Adams, as officials have admitted that raising the spectre of dissidents was one of Adams's key negotiating strategies."
Yet when Bush eventually replaced Haass, Mitchel Reiss was to play a critical role in fixing the final deal in a complex four or five way power game. In an influential series of interviews with key players in 2006, Irish Times journalist Frank Millar drew this typically steely response to Gerry Adams' assertion that the Bush administration had little or no say in the endgame:
I think what Gerry Adams said about my not having any authority in Northern Ireland is absolutely correct, and that the key decisions are going to be made by the political parties and the two governments. But I think its also correct to say that the United States does have a fair amount of influence, and its how we decide to use and leverage that influence that defines the role we play in the peace process.
He goes on to explain just why, for instance, he'd chosen to cut Sinn Fein off from its fund raising activities in the US:
…this really isnt about fundraising at all. Its all about giving the decent, law-abiding people in republican and nationalist communities the type of police service they deserve, so that theyre not confined to ghettoes. Its about policing, its about normality, about having a police service that reflects the personality and the wishes of people of the communities.
The truth is that in the concluding stages of the Northern Irish Peace Process, there was a endgame in hand and a constructive role for the US to play… As I have argued elsewhere, there is no such role available to them in Gaza until real and sustained political leadership emerges from both sides of that conflict…

Although there has been recent phenomenal growth in the "new age" practices of aromatherapy, holistic and herbal medicines, as well as various other treatments, in fact, these treatments are all quite old, ancient in fact. Massage therapy, reflexology and aromatherapy were all practiced in ancient Egypt, using many oils and perfumes that we are still familiar with today. The practical, therapeutic, social and religious uses of these oils and perfumes were depicted on many tombs and temple walls, and recorded in texts, many of which were later copied by Greek and Roman scholars, who viewed Egypt as the source of all wisdom. It is from this documentation, thanks to Egypt's dry environment which preserved it so well, that the people of our time have been able to reconstruct many of the original ancient remedies and recipes.
It has been proven that oils and perfumes were used in Egypt before 3100 BC., when Egypt became unified. Burials from the pre-literature period (the Predynastic period), even though they were little more than a hollow in the sand, have been recovered with "grave goods", indicating that they [already] believed in an afterlife. Aside from food and drink, the dead were often buried with cosmetics and the raw ingredients for their preparation. Of course, as the culture developed these rituals became better documented. But perfumes made of resin, lime and oil, as well as ingredients such as henna, oil-producing seeds, and imported resins, were discovered in several Predynastic era grave sites. In fact, one royal tomb, in Abydos, from c3000 BC., was found still containing jars that held their [original] contents of coniferous resin mixed with plant oils and animal fats. Another royal tomb at that same site, could easily be found by smell alone, as its sandy floors were saturated in perfume to a depth of three feet. It was still so strong that it permeated the entire tomb!
Almond oil was regarded as the finest oil in the Egyptian culture, forming the base of the majority of their most famous perfumes and medicines, as well as being used for massage. Also highly prized were the essences of lotus, cedar and cinnamon. These were prized for their own scents, as well as their value in recipes and remedies which were utilized in social and domestic contexts, religious rituals, and medicines, as well as massage and mummification procedures. In fact, these three fragrances represented the Egyptians view of life and death. The lotus flower symbolized the creation of life, while the cedar and cinnamon, both used in the mummification process, represented death and the afterlife. They played an integral part in religious ritual, which involved offerings of costly perfume, large floral bouquets and incense. The power of scent, of fragrance, was one of the ways that the Egyptians bridged the gap between the living world and the heavenly one. In fact, these fragrances were designed to reawaken the senses of the dead, which is why they were essential in the afterlife, and had to be buried with their dead.
I have read through some very detailed recipes from finds dating back to this era, and I have to say that they are recipes easily followed, and are similar to methods that were used until very recently. In fact, I believe that it is safe to say that, all perfumery and oil distillation methods grew from the ancient Egyptians, and many of these methods and recipes changed very little over thousands of years. So when you are discussing "new age" treatments and "new" fragrances, consider that your new is someone else's old!

Today is a truly sad day in the music world: Chris Cornell, best known as the lead singer for the band, Soundgarden, passed away. Being someone who grew up in the 80's and 90's, I became familiar with his music after Soundgarden's album, "Superunknown", was released. I was already emerged in the grunge music scene (thanks to bands like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Nirvana), but this record stuck out the most. The growls and emotion could not be topped by many, and the songs' topics helped connect to so many, because we could relate. During my darkest days with depression, I would listen to Soundgarden on repeat, and I felt as though their songs were my therapy. Chris worked with many talented musicians over the years, but my favorite has to be when he made the song "Promise" with Slash (formerly of Guns & Roses). This part of the chorus stuck out the most:
"Promise me
You won't let them put out your fire"
I promise, Chris.
Rest In Peace.

Ship manoeuvring
The prediction of ship hydrodynamic performance can be broken down into the general areas of resistance and propulsion, seakeeping, manoeuvring. Propeller flows and propeller design can be seen as a subtopic of resistance and propulsion, but it is so important and features special techniques that it is treated as a separate topic in its own right. Morgan and Lin (1998) give a good short introduction to the historical development of these techniques to the state of the art in the late 1990s.

Rawson and Tupper's Basic Ship Theory, first published in 1968, is widely known as the standard introductory text for naval architecture students, as well as being a useful reference for the more experienced designer. The fifth edition continues to provide a balance between theory and practice. Volume 2 expands on the material in Volume 1, covering the dynamics behaviour of marine vehicles, hydrodynamics, manoeuvrability and seakeeping. It concludes with some case studies of particular ship types and a discussion of maritime design.

One definition of wisdom is the thoughtful application of learning; insight; good sense; judgement. It can be said that this book aims to contribute to the reader's wisdom. It sets out to provide knowledge of the fundamentals of naval architecture so that the reader can define a ship form, calculate its draughts and displacement and check its stability. It seeks to give an understanding of other aspects of the ship such as the possible modes of structural failure and its manoeuvring and seakeeping performance....

Flying gas stations could enable long haul flights to cover much greater distances and improve energy efficiency, a European research project has suggested.
Air passengers could soon be able to hop on a plane in Europe and travel non-stop to Australia and New Zealand, if a new concept in aviation takes flight.
The longest flight currently in operation is a Qantas Airlines route from Dallas/Fort Worth to Sydney, covering a distance of 8,578 miles (13,804 km).
Scientists are also exploring the idea of passenger transfers mid-flight, reducing the number of times an airplane would need to land and take off.
The innovation would involve the use of refueling jets capable of meeting planes in the sky to provide top-up kerosene.
Mid-flight refueling operations already exist and are sometimes used by military jets.
Air Force One, the official plane of the US President, is capable of being refueled while in the air, as are some helicopters.
Scientists working on the project, Research for a Cruiser Enabled Air Transport Environment (RECREATE), said aircraft fuel makes up about a third of the weight on long-haul flights at take-off.
Under a system which makes use of refueling jets, researchers estimate passenger jets could carry less fuel on takeoff, then refuel once they reach an altitude of 33,000 feet (10,000 meters).
Noise pollution would also be reduced, as airplanes make more noise the heavier they are at takeoff.
Researchers estimate the amount of fuel needed on departure could be reduced by up to 23 percent for every 6,000 nautical miles flown by a plane carrying 250 passengers.
The joint project is being led by the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) in Amsterdam and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).
An even more radical idea proposed by researchers would see passengers being flown to board planes which continually circle the earth in set routes.
The 'air metro' system would reimagine current conceptions of air travel and provide added convenience, the scientists claim.
"Think of the added convenience if you bought a ticket not for a particular flight but for the transport system," RECREATE writes on its website.
"You could step on board when it suited you and you could change flights not on the ground but in the air."

South Africa urgently needs civil engineers, designers and contractors who are both competent and responsible to allow the concrete industry to remain sustainable, according to Bryan Perrie, managing director of the Concrete Institute.
He says the Concrete Institute's School of Concrete Technology – which offers a wide range of courses for skills training at all levels from labourers to engineers – provides the professional education and skills training that is required to achieve and maintain competence.
"This course cultivates a mindset of responsibility in individuals," says Perrie.
He points out that the Concrete Society of Southern Africa endorses all the courses that are presented by the School of Concrete Technology.
Moreover, the school itself is registered with the South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors (SAFCEC) as the preferred training provider for its courses, specifically for continuing professional development that must be undertaken by professional engineers, technicians and technologists in order to maintain their professional status.
"These factors emphasises the quality of training and skills development that is provided at the school," Perrie says. "The school offers expert education and training to ensure that all people who are involved in the civil engineering and construction sectors have a better understanding of the properties and applications of concrete and its ancillary fields," he says.
"Armed with this understanding they are better able to address the social, economic and environmental challenges that we face in South Africa," he says. "And this is not just for the immediate future, but for generations to come."
The extensive number of courses offered by the school range from basic concrete technology all the way through to the more specialised subjects such as training ready-mixed concrete truck drivers on how to safely carry the material to site.
Perrie says the pinnacle of concrete training is covered in the advanced concrete technology course. Applications for the course which starts in January 2014 are still being accepted and last-minute enrolments will also be considered.
For information on the full range of courses offered by the School of Concrete Technology in 2014, contact either John Roxburgh or Gary Theodosiou on (011) 315 0300 or go directly to the website at www.theconcreteinstitute.org.za.

It's been forever since the last time she posted something on her blog and the year couldn't have been more hectic that she had to give herself some space – by temporarily stopping herself from doing such things that she used to do back then. The bad news is that her father's getting sicker, day by day.
About two years ago, she, surprisingly not surprisingly, couldn't get herself to enroll or further her study to the next level after her CIE A-Level's result was out due to some conflicts with the sponsor and so forth in which I'm not gonna write about it over here.
So, her parents wanted her to further her degree in management course, instead of engineering which she read while accomplishing her A-Level, in a local PUBLIC university. Unfortunately, not many local universities (private ones are excluded) accept any enrollment using A-Level results and if there are any, the applicants have to directly apply to the universities' dean or higher post. The method(s) of doing so is/are not disclosed to public. Public universities usually reserve a small portion of quota for the first degree enrollment via A-Level qualification. She comes from a mid-income family background, so she, by hook or by crook, had to apply for public universities only instead of private universities which take less time of waiting but cost lots of money.
She decided to apply through the Unit Pengambilan Universiti (UPU) system and had to wait till the next year to do so because she didn't and never expect herself from getting rejected by the sponsor to further her study abroad when the university that she applied for was still offering her the program.
She thought that the UPU system could be her second chance of getting herself into a university but unfortunately, she took some requirement needed lightly – i.e: having seated for MUET prior the application's submission date as it is REQUIRED for Malaysian Universities for every local applicant to have their MUET result provided to the system. She thought she could just use her IELTS result instead of the former. Unfortunately for her, her application was rejected by any universities with the same reason, no MUET result is provided.
This situation has brought a drought to her relationship with her parents (her father especially) and they didn't communicate for weeks. To shorten the story, one day, her father asked her if she wanted to join a-week course of film producing and she said yes. That's the only way she figured out on the spot, she could run away from the problem for awhile, from her still-angry father and they did start talking eventually when her father had to pick her up at the course's venue.
Her friend, a junior by a year under the same sponsor as she did, flunked her A-Level as well and their batch was at a better position than her batch was at (the year before) – they still got offered to further their degree/master in their respective programs by the sponsor due to some inner conflicts between the sponsor body itself, y'know, when your kids flunked and they are sponsored by your company and you are the big shot of the company, you've got the power to influence others to give them a second chance (provided with lil' extra requirement(s) as you don't want others to sense any biases there). It really broke her heart to know such thing occurred when she'd been trying so hard to appeal to give the same second chance the year before but wasn't entertained at all.
She, however, tried to be positive, much more positive than she'd ever be. She calmed herself by constantly reminding herself this could be just another test from The Creator and perhaps she'd better not off abroad as she's better off to another path of the road.
The Creator knows the best for us and for her particularly, He sent her some help through her friend by informing her regarding a chance of enrolling to UiTM and the procedures and all. She was so thankful because she could see some little light there and started sorting things out; her feelings and all and then she applied to the university.
Things started to get better for her. She felt one of the reasons of her failure dated two years back must due to her lessening some the religious activities she always did like reciting al-Quran daily, practicing all the sunnah and the list goes on. She only did the compulsory ones and she even liked dunya more than the hereafter.
She decided to change. Once change, change it for all.
She learnt that she could never take anything for granted and every test or burden is never too much for one to carry because Allah tests us according to our limits. She started to re-practice things and ibadah that can make you to be bestowed upon you sustenance – like reciting surah al-Waqiah and al-Mulk daily, charities, sunat dhuha and even zikr (istighfar and so on).
Things started to change. She secured herself for some jobs interviews and one of them has resulted her to be reserved as an employee. She also got accepted to be a part of UiTM and enrolled to the university few weeks ago. All is well.
sometimes you have to act deaf for you to succeed, striving for the excellence because you cannot simply mute other people's mouth. Instead of talking back and raise your negativity, it is sometimes better for you to keep some distance from the bad-talkers or just simply act cool in front of them. Show them your positive attitude. Influence them to do the same but NOT to be influenced by them. When the time has come, the positive ones are always the winner.

Putting this beautiful day to good use February 21, 2008Posted by Raul in random thoughts, Vancouver.
Normally, I work from home on Fridays (I used to do this to avoid being dragged out for a pint, but then I caved in and it has become a nice tradition). Anyhow, I'm working from home today as my building is not going to be well-heated and thus I preferred to be here. While I can't complain (I'm getting lots of natural sun light through my windows), I think it's a waste of a beautiful day to work at home. So I'm going to take my laptop and go somewhere to do work (and take this opportunity to take some nice photographs).
Suggestions for good locations to work? All I need is wifi 🙂 Was thinking of hitting the Lonsdale Quay (I know of a fairly secluded spot where I read lots of research papers related to work). But other suggestions accepted. I'll have online access so I'll know what you suggest 🙂

hey, iba a sugerir que nomas disfrutaras el dia….ya trabajaras en la noche?? cuando vas al baile? ojala te vea pronto, carolina

Chemical Bank completed the syndication of a $6 billion credit for Westinghouse Electric Corp. on Thursday when it officially closed the primary syndicate.
The deadline for commitments had been set for Dec. 11 but was extended by a week.
As of Thursday morning, about 30 banks committed a total of $2 billion in the primary. That is on top of $7 billion in commitments from the Chemical-led group of 20 underwriting banks.
Though there was $3 billion of excess commitments, the underwriting banks will still be left with sizeable amounts of the credit on their books. Most will be in the low $200s, while Chemical, as lead bank, will hold a somewhat higher amount.
Those levels could be reduced later in a pooled selldown in the secondary market.

It occurs to me
had I been born
in Iran
or Tibet
or Israel
or Japan
I might call God
by another name
but He would not care.
He only cares
that I seek Him
because He is there.
True faith
needs no book
no ancient scripture
only the ability
to see in life
the total picture
one world, one planet
in perfect harmony
in spite of all we do
knowing in your heart
and in your soul
He is watching you.
Airee, we be jammin' with Mr. Bob Marley singing One Love from the Community Audio website. Enjoy, Mon!

"you know, there was a time when, if you told me that queen latifah and common were in a movie, i would've been excited."
"yea, but there was a time when if you told me that either of them were putting out a record, i would've been excited."
and that, folks, is the combined wisdom of pound writers. i finally met newly-minted book writer, luke fox. i got to big him up personally for his track for track breakdown of the "back to back (kanye) lps that sound the same" that rendered dood "bitch as missy".
this movie is a debacle, but i guess as far as rappers turned actors go, these two are pretty evenly matched. i've said that while common's acting sucks, it's made him better at communicating different styles as a rapper-though the "real electric circus" album was still inexcusable as his midlife crisis, pharell really should not have the hardest verse ("my dick is like a blowpop baby, and it gets stiffer than some botox, baby")on your album, rachid. he really needs to work on his looks, though, his eye-work is mad awkward. everything can't be a smoldering glare, man. one of the worst moments is when they connect over chocolate chip cookies with marshmallows…"INCREDIBLE!" at the piano (yes, she sings). another is a date that la is on when a dood concludes the evening with "you're the bomb dot com!"(i texted my newest '79 friend this and she probably thought i was sippin' wack juice), and the worst is the title climax quote-"leslie, you're just wright for me". it's kind of embarrassing that somebody wrote these awful lines of dialogue in a film starring two emcees, a sad moment for hip hop, or a sign that it's finally crossed over. but i feel that way every time i see queen latifah over-posturing in a movie/at a michael jackson tribute. i contributed to a discussion about how she's overcompensating femme in order not to be the spokesperson for lesbians and how it would be nice to see her dyke it out with oprah onscreen but it wouldn't sell-oh really? i beg to differ. i think it would sell, even if it would never happen. but obviously, her recent forays into "film" have all but erased the traces of set it off, just like her latest musical endeavors have all but erased the traces of ladies first.
there's also some creative imagining when it comes to the casting of moms in this film. common's (sorry, scott's) mom is clair huxtable, er, phylicia rashad and latifah's (sorry, leslie's) mom is foxy brown, er, pam grier. now i know these women look good, but is this supposed to be a comment on teenage mothers?
but the bottom line is, i still care. that's why i will still keep watching, if only to make irreverent and circular comments to myself (sigh). for the record, i was only trying to watch a trailer online, when i was linked to the opportunity to see the premier live with an eclectic, packed house in my city-if you would've told me that i would've been in the front row craning my neck in the presence of old white folks interacting with the movie, i probably wouldn't have believed you. but there's something so unbelievable about this entire experience.

What are we looking for: job satisfaction or a big paycheck? This is a topic that college students consider when choosing a major and employees think about when considering a promotion. A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that the magic number is $75, 000 – earning this amount over regular household expenses. Any more does not result in happiness or reduced stress, says one of the authors of this study, Daniel Kahneman, a professor emeritus at Princeton University.
Professor Kahneman, who is also a Nobel Laureate in economics, believes that wealthy people are able to buy more pleasures but recent studies show that they are less able to appreciate the smaller things in life. Desiring financial security is not a bad thing, but wanting it – and not getting it – can result in problems, says Profession Kahneman.
A report in the Journal of Happiness Studies in 2007 stated that college freshmen who said that they wanted to make a lot of money generally achieved that goal 20 years later. This article said that people with strong monetary goals are confident, ambitious and conservative.
Rather than focusing on money, ideally people should do what they love to do. A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that beyond a household income of $75,000 a year, money does nothing for happiness. However, the lack of money can cause misery. More income buys one more pleasures, but studies show that wealthier people are less able to appreciate the small things in life.
Wanting money and reaching a goal is good, but not getting what you want can result in unhappiness. Most researchers have found that a balance between working in a field that interest you and provides enjoyment, and also making enough money to meet your needs, is the ideal situation.
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you." – Maya Angelou

Bufana caused delays. Bufana being an old woman who gives children candy or rocks or something and celebrates the coming of the wise men to the wee babe. And yes, the Italians do love their holidays and trains do not always run on schedule because of it.
So, today, at last, I'm headed to the sea. Planning on picture taking, lounging, pasta eating, wine drinking and when I return perhaps I'll have a more serious take on life here. Still restricted to Internet Points, but will soon get over all of that. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, I'm back to my normal caffeine addiction. So far, a cappuccino and espresso and it isn't even noon yet.

Ep 53 - Kitchen Confidential
This week's episode is a book review of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. It's exploitational, but we can't necessarily say over-exaggerated. This episode isn't rated as "clean" because the book makes numerous references to alcohol and drug use, as well a informal dalliances with the opposite sex (I think I said that as polite as I possibly could). An entertaining read from someone who really has been there and done that (probably a few times), Boudain's Kitchen Confidential is the flag ship of restaurant exposés, that have influenced many others to write their own memoirs of how things really are in the kitchens of restaurants.

You guys did a good job but i'm still not sold on Mr. Bourdain. Just the sight of him on tv tends to piss me off. I'll just have to read the book and find out for myself.
I, too, used to think he was just a great big d-bag (this is Tracy, BTW), but the book convinced me otherwise. He really cares about cooking, food, and isn't an ass if you care, too. I still disagree with him on a few points, but after reading the book I gained a lot of respect for him.

Robert McKee on Storytelling That Moves People – Harvard Business Review
See on Scoop.it – Tracking Transmedia
"Why should a CEO or a manager pay attention to a screenwriter?
A big part of a CEO's job is to motivate people to reach certain goals. To do that, he or she must engage their emotions, and the key to their hearts is story. There are two ways to persuade people. The first is by using conventional rhetoric, which is what most executives are trained in. It's an intellectual process, and in the business world it usually consists of a PowerPoint slide presentation in which you say, "Here is our company's biggest challenge, and here is what we need to do to prosper." And you build your case by giving statistics and facts and quotes from authorities. But there are two problems with rhetoric. First, the people you're talking to have their own set of authorities, statistics, and experiences. While you're trying to persuade them, they are arguing with you in their heads. Second, if you do succeed in persuading them, you've done so only on an intellectual basis. That's not good enough, because people are not inspired to act by reason alone…."

Critics Take Aim As Mary J. Blige's Awkward Chat With Hillary Clinton Airs
Mary J. Blige and Hillary Clinton talk about race relations in America on September 30, 2016 on Apple music.
Mary J. Blige's chat show career hasn't started well – an awkward new interview clip with presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has earned her a large group of Internet critics.
Apple bosses posted a teaser for the chat the musician had with the former First Lady as part of her The 411 With Mary J. Blige show online on Tuesday, a day after Clinton took on rival presidential candidate Donald Trump in their first debate.
The "interview special" will air in full on Apple Music Friday, and critics are already mocking the Family Affair singer after watching the trailer, during which Mary's "intimate conversation" with Hillary tackles race.
The R&B icon actually sings one of her questions to embarrassed Hillary, who doesn't seem to know where to look.
Blige crooned: "If an officer stops you always be polite, and never ever run away. Promise momma you'll keep your hands inside. Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life. It ain't no secret. It ain't no secret, no secret my friend. You can get killed just for living in your American skin."
Twitter users quickly lashed out against the clip after it debuted, with one Apple follower stating: "If Trump wins it's absolutely Mary J Blige's fault", while another added: "mary j blige gotta moderate the next debate. HAS TO."
Meanwhile, Mary has far more important personal matters to attend to after filing new legal documents urging the judge overseeing her divorce from estranged husband Kendu Isaacs to sign off on her pre-nuptial agreement, so she can make sure it's iron-clad, leaving the music executive no room to cash in on her fortune.
Isaacs' lawyer insists the the contract, drawn up in December, 2003, is "immensely invalid, unenforceable and unconscionable".
Mary filed for divorce in July and she has already asked the judge to block Isaacs' bid for spousal support, according to TMZ.

My ovaries need to get their sh*t together, and kick it into gear. After 7 days of stims there are only 3 above 10mm. The rest (and I think that's about 6) are still smaller than a 10. I don't understand how if I can get 3 follies to grow on clomid, I can't get more than that to grow on the max does of gonal f and menopur. I keep trying to compare this cycle to the last cycle, but they are too different. Last cycle I only started out with 6 follies, and they had room to increase my meds. This cycle I started out with more follies, and at the max dosage. I'm frustrated, and afraid of being cancelled.
I am hoping that there are simply more follies than there were last time, so its going to take a bit longer for them to get going. This afternoon's E2 results should also shed some light-if its going up appropriately, then they are growing, just slow. If its not, well, crap.
I just wish, for ONCE, something could go smoothly. At the start of this cycle I felt so hopeful. Now, I'm already feeling defeated. In addition to my lazy ovaries, being on a max dosage of stimulation hormones is making me bloated, giving me a headache, and all of a sudden I'm prone to crying. Not fun.
Of course I'm googling myself to death, trying to find other women, who have been slow starters, and then had their follies catch up. But all that is doing is giving me more of a headache.

"Vince Eager speaking", said the voice on the phone. Vince Eager! Not the 1950s pop icon, rival of legends such as Billy Fury and Marty Wilde? "Yes, that's me." Vince is now agent for rock legend Alvin Stardust, who is appearing at nearby Bedworth civic hall on December 1 and wanted to know if the school's choir could perform as backing. Luckily Rod Steward, the school's head, is a bit of a rock expert. Among other musical exploits, he had been the drummer in Shakin' Stevens's first group and knew all about vicissitudes of the music business ("We broke up because he wanted to wear rock clothes and I was Rod the Mod.") After careful consideration, Rod gave the go-ahead and the Canon Maggs singers were in business. The Diary understands other schools will get similar chances as Stardust's tour goes on. Ageing rockers, stand by your phones!

Ostpreußen (East Prussia)
Now called Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
June 17 - 23, 2013
We are staying at The Sambia Hotel on the Curonian Spit and taking day trips with our own personal tour guide up and down the coast, into the old German city of Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad) and visiting the area which was once Klein Engelau but is now a Russian military training base.
Many of the places we will visit are places that our mother enjoyed and wrote about in her book. From the streets of Konigsberg to the sand dunes of Rauschen. Hopefully we will find bits of amber on the Baltic seashore just as our mother did.
Our trip to Russia ends by following part of the route she took while escaping, from Klein Engleau to Heiligenbeil on the shore of the Frisches Haff (lagoon). Unfortunately we can go no further because that would mean crossing 20 kilometres over the open waters of the lagoon and ending up on Polish soil on the other side. In her book she refers to the escape which took six weeks as "The Flight" or "The Trek".
Bremen, Germany
June 24 - 30, 2013
Who knew we had so many long lost relatives in Germany to visit! It's like winning the lottery! We will all come back to Canada fattened by the coffee and cake Germans love to serve their guests!
Oh, and the schnapps! Gesundheit!
Alesund, Norway
July 1 - 8, 2013
Our trip ends with a visit to Hans' daughter's home in Alesund on the west coast of Norway. Amy was born in Canada but has become a Norwegian. At least she looks Norwegian, if not exactly an actual citizen.

Only two of us
Remember the night
we sat below the moon
as if there only existed
the three of us?
Only two of us remain,
and as I dance
beneath the gentle light,
I catch the moon's tear
filling my heart
with sorrow.
10 Responses to "Only two of us"
What's the matter?! Where is the fish with the big eyes now? Beautiful piece and love picture too!
Thank you being who you are and what you do.
Thank you my dear, thanks for recognising who I am and what I do. Re fish, haha, you're right, he'd fit right in, see him swimming in below the moon ? 😉 . By the way did I even say thank you?
this caught in my throat
and lingers in my mind
yes, a little like the simple thought that inspired this……
simple but true. Impressive
thanks my dear, I try 😉
one good thing about befriending the moon:
while it may not always brighten your evening, it'll never stand you up!
Welcome KT! Smile, I like your thought on befriending the moon, yes it's true.

Lots of outdoor time on Sunday.
I went to the earlier service for church because I was working in the nursery for the second. Got to hold cute babies which always makes for a good morning!
Went back to Astoria for brunch with Jon (which by this point was 2:30pm) at Kickshaw. Ended up having to wait for almost 40 minutes because it was packed so by the time we finally got seated we were both starving. Ended up being seated directly in front of the kitchen space though (which was really only two burners and one guy behind a counter whipping out huge amounts of food.) – brunch & a show!
Headed into Manhattan afterwards for some wandering and exploring. I picked to go to Central Park for some outdoor time and lots of walking! Because walking over the Brooklyn Bridge and all that the day prior was just not enough.
I cannot get over how huge and fantastic this city is. There's something striking about standing on a giant rock in the middle of trees in Central Park and looking towards Midtown at all of the huge buildings.
Jon, of course, climbed trees.
It was also more than a wee bit chilly and windy outside.
When all was said and done it came out to 12,902 steps.. or 6.7 miles of walking. I think the final number was actually a little higher than that but I'm finding this app vaguely accurate (I think). Not bad, still looking at that 11 miler though – maybe once it gets a little bit warmer.

The level of Guild BS is very low these days. I have toons parked in 4 different guilds including a guild who used to be all BS and I haven't seen any.
Regardless. In the case of Lucky, just hit a public raid like GK. The raid doesn't need to finish.
I wonder seriously how many players are forgoing the free 8e a guild can give you. Get your GL to 5 and then join a virtually dead guild (e.g. Kingdom). There aren't any non-farming raids and no one will talk to you. I do not see any reason in this day and age why anyone should be guildless.

Most people don't really think about how much things really cost, I mean, not really. They only worry about if they have enough money to get what they need or want. Living as an expat the cost of things is an interesting topic. Anytime I tell people at home how much we spend on groceries or something else, I tend to get similar reactions. "Oh wow" "That's expensive" "How do you afford it". Most of the time we don't really think about it. We are just like those living in their home country, we only worry about if we have enough money to get the things we need.
But things took a turn and were brought into perspective. This weekend was the Nation holiday and the celebration of Liberation for Kuwait. This is a huge holiday weekend, think Fourth of July. Lots of fireworks and different parties going on all over the city. A lot of people tend to get a little crazy on national holidays, so we decided that we were going to spend the long weekend in.
To prep for our time in the house, we wanted to make sure that we wouldn't get bored or sick of each other quickly, we went out and bought some board games to play. And this is where the cost made itself blatantly apparent.
We went to Toys'r'us to see what kind of selection of board games they had. Surprisingly they had quite a few games that we enjoy, so we started looking at the price to see how many games we could get. And that is when it hit how pricey they were. The board game Battleship was 18 KD which is right around 60 USD. I was shocked!
We did end up getting a few games, Uno, Yahtzee, Clue, and Monopoly. We spent around 45 KD for all of those games, which in the states we would have spent around 45 USD to get all of them. It was interesting to look at how different the cost of things are in different countries. On some things it seems as if the price of something imported is the original price just changed to KD isntead or USD, instead of converting the price.It was fun opening the games when we got home, many were just the same as they are in the states except our Monopoly game, and we have the UK version!
We had a wonderful time playing games, watching movies, and listening to the fireworks go off all weekend. We were too far away to get to see any of the fireworks, but had fun listening to the kids play out in the street. It has been fun to see that kids are pretty much the same no matter what language they speak or what country they live in.
These are not in any way complaints about prices, they are simply my musings on how different it is to look at the cost of things when you live in your home country or abroad.
