The Metro Regional Housing Authority is looking for someone to supply equipment, training and support in thermal bedbug remediation.
The authority posted a tender online on Wednesday. It asks that bidders supply two cargo trailers outfitted with electrically heated remediation gear.
The requirements ask for each trailer to have a diesel generator with appropriate equipment to power four electric heaters designed and built for bedbug remediation. There also is to be six circulation fans and a wireless temperature monitoring system, including a laptop and 12 wireless sensors.
Thermal remediation for bedbugs is a non-pesticide solution to the problem.
Brett Newcombe, sales and operations manager with BBD Thermal Remediation in Halifax, said on Thursday that his firm has been using the process for at least six months with terrific results.
The business has been in operation for nine years, offering a green alternative to chemical spray. Their eco-treatment involves a heavy-duty vacuum and steam cleaning. Adding the heat treatment brought another effective weapon to their arsenal.
"We currently saw the need for a bigger upgrade so we tried the heat out and it's been working fantastic," he said. "We've been doing heat treatments every day since we got the trailer because the results have been amazing."
They set up the heaters and air movers in the residence or apartment unit that needs to be treated. They run the power cables to a 50-kilowatt generator. As well as powering the commercial-grade equipment, the generator ensures the client is not supplying the power.
"We take our big lines into the unit through a window and we set our temps," Newcombe said. "We set our temps at a certain temperature so that the bedbugs or the cockroaches will come out because they're attracted to that heat. Once they're at that temp, we vacuum, we steam and once we don't see any more, we jack the heat up to a certain temperature and that is how we eradicate the pests from inside the unit."
The second heating cycle brings the temperature inside the affected residence to between 120 to 135 F (49 to 57C), which is lethal to bedbugs at all life stages. The fans ensure the heat permeates the entire area to be treated. It does no damage to furniture or other things in the home, with the possible exception of candle wax. Newcombe said they would make sure any heat-sensitive items are removed.
He said they can do one or two units in a day.
The company is very interested in the housing authority's tender.
"We definitely will be applying for that," Newcombe said.
In 2016, the province earmarked $1.6 million for pest eradication to be done that spring in 700 government-owned housing units across the municipality. In November of that year, bedbugs were a mounting concern in Sunrise Manor, a seniors' facility on Gottingen Street in Halifax.
Officials responsible for the regional housing authority were not immediately available for comment.

MongoDB CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete. MongoDB provides rich semantic to communicate with the database. MongoDB CRUD operations are much similar to SQL create,select,update and delete operations. If you already work with SQL you will find it very easy to understand and if your not then still you will find it very easy! OK, before moving forward to CRUD operation we have to understand how MongoDB stores data. As we know MongoDB is document oriented database it stores the data in the form of documents.
So no rows and columns. It uses JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) like format to store data. Formally, MongoDB documents are BSON documents. BSON is a binary representation of JSON with additional type information. following image is example of MongoDB document.
We will perform the tasks in following order :
- Create
- Insert
- Read
- Update
- remove
1. Create:
lets start from creating database in MongoDB. Now what you have to do is just enter following command on mongo shell,
use databasename
use blogdata
Database is not created unless you not inserting documents in it.
2. Insert:
To write into database following syntax is used,
db.collectionname.insert({ document to be inserted});
You can use any other folder name instead of "db" if you want.You don't have to create collection separately. It will automatically get created.
To see the document that you have inserted run this command "db.collectionname.find()", "collectionname" should be the same which you have used earlier to insert document.
3. Read:
To read data from the database following command is used,
By using this command documents will get displayed, you can be more specific by writing some criteria in find(), by default it will display all documents that contains in collection. But if you want to get specific document then Mongo provides way to write more optimized query you can use :
- Limit the cursor means you can limit the number of result you get which matches criteria.
- Can add projections means you can specify which fields you want in result.
- Can add query criteria
4. Update:
Update operation is used to modify the documents,
db.collectionname.update({ criteria})
Following query will update the document field "status" as "A" where field "age" has value greater than "18".
Following SQL query gives the same result as mongo.
5. Remove:
Remove operation is used to delete documents from database,
Following query will remove the documents where "status" field is "D".
See the SQL query for same operation,

Chapters 9 and 10 Summary
In Chapter Nine, "As the Old Man Goes," Joe is frisked by Maso's men, who are supposedly on jail-cleaning duty, before they allow him on the roof. They do not find the small, sharpened screwdriver he has hidden between the cheeks of his buttocks, which he will transfer to his pocket when he reaches the roof. Among Maso's men are the three killers who have secretly crossed over to Albert's side. Joe knows they will kill Maso's loyal men once he's on the roof. Walking with Maso, Joe stoops to pick up his cigarette but instead grabs the old man's ankles and dangles him over the roof's edge. He finds two concealed weapons on Maso, takes his father's pocket watch back, sets Maso on his feet, and says he has decided not to kill him, because he wants revenge on Albert...

Today ComWriter released 21 theology journal style guides to their bank of styles, making it a more robust site for theology writing than either Endnote or Zotero. Of special interest is the ability of ComWriter to style references and footnotes to biblical literary standards.
Dr Glassop, founder & CEO of ComWriter said "Theology writing is complex given its historic origins", "nonetheless, biblical literature deserves the support of modern technology".
Other features unique to ComWriter include the use of biblical fonts (Greek, Hebrew and Lit), enabling Old Testament researchers, and other specialty fields, to compile accurate text online.
Dr Glassop said there were ten other journal style guides under development that would be released shortly. Currently, ComWriter supports:
- AJS Review (Association for Jewish Studies)
- Australian Biblical Review
- Australian Ejournal of Theology
- Church History
- Communio: International Catholic Review
- Harvard Theological Review

text: By Marc Jones LONDON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Pan-European bank and financial market regulators called on Friday for a reduction in banks' influence on the Euribor rate-setting process and more regular checks to ensure the figures weren't manipulated. The European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) released an 11-point plan to improve the Euribor bank-to-bank lending rate and prevent a repeat of the price fixing scandal that has engulfed such benchmarks. Euribor and its larger counterpart Libor are Europe's key gauges of how much banks pay to borrow from their peers and are used to set the prices of swathes of financial products, from some mortgages to more complex derivatives. They also are a key indicator of financial market tension. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, interbank rates soared as trust between banks crumbled. The future of Euribor has been under scrutiny recently because of a string of pullouts by banks, including heavyweights Rabobank and Citi, looking to protect themselves from any fallout from the benchmark price-fixing scandal. The Libor scandal toppled the leadership of Britain's Barclays and cost UBS $1.5 billion in fines last year. Other banks are also bracing for huge fines. Seeking to reverse the recent spate of pullouts, EBA and ESMA called for national supervisors to encourage "all banks active in euro money markets to participate in the Euribor panel." But in order to avoid a repeat of the fixing scandal it called for Euribor-EBF, the body that runs Euribor and which has only three full-time staff, to assume greater responsibility for the rate and the way it is calculated and published. The proposals are broadly in line with those put forward by the European Central Bank late last year and come as the European Commission is putting the finishing touches on its own more binding recommendations, expected as soon as April. Banks, where possible, should base their daily Euribor submissions on actual transactions rather than estimates and should not have employees that could potentially benefit from manipulating the rate involved in the submission process, the two said. "The recommendations focus on requests to strengthen Euribor panel banks' internal governance arrangements including a code of conduct with emphasis on identifying and managing internal conflicts, internal control arrangements (including audits), record keeping and comparison with actual transactions," the EBA said in a statement. SIX MONTH DEADLINE The watchdogs would like to see the recommended changes implemented within the next six months. Guido Ravoet, chief executive of Euribor-EBF, said the organisation was prepared to make the changes requested of it and planned to have more academics and former industry experts to watch over the banks. "Six months is sufficient time to make these adjustments," Ravoet told Reuters. "We have information that the 39 banks on the panel will stay on board, but we need to give them comfort with regard to their contributions." A complete unravelling of Euribor, which could happen if banks continue to pull out, would throw the trillions of euros of financial products that price off the rate into confusion. "Let us take the opportunity to raise with you our concern over potential disruptions to the continuity of Euribor from the termination of contributions on the part of individual banks," EBA and ESMA said as they called for national regulators to encourage their banks to participate in Euribor. Thomson Reuters compiles and publishes the daily Euribor figures for Euribor-EBF. EBA and ESMA recommended the information provider should keep "clear records of all submissions from each panel bank over the years, including data on panel banks which were either not submitting or were submitting flawed or questionable quotes over certain days or longer periods." "We welcome and will be ready to implement any additional measures recommended by benchmark sponsors and regulators to create more robust processes and benchmarks for the industry," a spokeswoman for Thomson Reuters said. INVESTIGATION OVERLOAD Rabobank, which became Europe's highest profile name to quit Euribor last week, said it had no plans to rejoin the benchmark following the EBA/ESMA recommendations. Banks remain primarily focused on the European Commission's recommendations in the coming months and its separate anti-trust cartel probe that is ongoing. The International Organisation of Securities Commission (IOSCO) said on Friday it too planned to take a deeper look into the impact of interbank rate rigging. Martin Wheatley, the head UK regulator who recently laid out plans to overhaul Libor, and Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Gary Gensler, will spearhead its efforts. "The IOSCO Consultation Report will be critical to developing international principles for benchmarks and possible mechanisms and protocols for a smooth transition to new benchmarks when and if needed," said Gensler. Whereas Wheatley's overhaul stripped the British Banking Authority of the responsibility of running Libor, Euribor-EBF looks set to maintain its role following the EBA and ESMA review.

From Denham Springs, Louisiana, USA:
My 10-year-old daughter is 4 feet, 4 inches and weighs 53 pounds. For the last two years, she has been having episodes of getting clammy, pale, and dizzy, with a headache, stomach ache and blacking out. If you can give her sugar, she comes back around within 15 minutes. She does not have to be doing anything to trigger these episodes. We have been through six doctors in the last three years. Our new doctor re-did a four hour OGTT with insulin and her results have changed. Her A1c in the last six months has stayed at 5.5. Her OGTT results follow: (insulin first) fasting - 16.5; one hour - 29.1; two hours - 36.9; three hours - 93.1; and four hours - 123.5. Her glucose was: fasting - 92 mg/dl [5.1 mmol/L]; one hour - 85 mg/dl [4.7 mmol/L]; two hours - 108 mg/dl [6.0 mmol/L]; three hours - 135 mg/dl [7.5 mmol/L]; and four hours - 88 mg/dl [4.9 mmol/L]. Her doctor has mentioned MODY as a possibility. Could this be MODY or is this the start of type 1? What test should I request to see what this is? What treatment should we be considering?
It sounds like classical hypoglycemia, not diabetes. The OGTT results suggest excess insulin so, making sure she is not overweight is critically important. It would be very important to document actual blood glucose during symptoms. If not below 60 mg/dl [3.3 mmol/L], then other autonomic dysfunction is more likely. Growth hormone and cortisol levels during hypoglycemic episodes should also be checked to be sure there is no insufficiency. Occasionally, celiac presents like this as well as thyroid dysfunction. More than 95 percent of kids with hypoglycemia like this can have symptoms prevented by (1) avoiding simple sugar: candy, soda, juice, fruit, etc. and (2) always eating something with protein and fat every three hours (cheese, peanut butter, meats, eggs, etc.).

Citizens look for answers on Act 46
"I was the original person elected to represent Shaftsbury on the committee," Jeff Leake told voters gathered at Shaftsbury Elementary School. "So I've been through three variations of this board. At this point we've come up with articles of agreement. What we were reminded is, we're following the law as written by the state and passed down to the school districts to implement... We're at the point where we've come up with a good set of articles that meet the criteria of the law, and that's what we're doing. Meeting the criteria of the law."
The community forum, designed to hear concerns and answer questions about the merger proposal on the table, was hosted by Leake, fellow Shaftsbury merger committee member Erin McEnaney and committee chairman Donald Campbell.
Documents handed out by the committee on Tuesday explained how the Mount Anthony Unified School District — not to be confused with the current Mount Anthony Union School District — would be formed if approved by voters in all four districts on Nov. 7.
The new district would have a single board and a single tax rate, which would be adjusted in each community by the common level of appraisal. The new district would also act as a single employer for all faculty and staff across all its schools.
In its documentation, the committee asks voters to consider these five points: "1. Governance merger is the law but this plan reflects local preferences — a forced merger might not; 2. Proposed MAU-style board structure gives all communities, big and small, a strong voice; 3. Extra protections built in for small schools; 4. Some form of school choice within the newly-created district; 5. Four years of education property tax incentives (8-6-4-2 cents)."
Campbell explained what the committee meant by extra protections for small schools, saying that the articles add an additional year, from four to five, from the moratorium on closing schools required by the law. It additionally requires two separate votes, no less than one year apart, of at least 75 percent of the board in order to close a school.
As far as school choice, the committee could not compel the future board to consider the option, but after five years the new board will have the opportunity to implement some form of school choice between all the public schools of the district, an option that isn't available today.
Should the merger be approved, the board of the new district will be made up of 11 members: Four from North Bennington, two each from North Bennington, Pownal, and Shaftsbury, and one from Woodford. This board will replace the SVSU, MAU, Bennington, Pownal, Shaftsbury, and Woodford school boards. North Bennington is not voting on joining the merger, but it will remain part of MAU, meaning that its two members on the district board would abstain from voting on elementary school issues, and the North Bennington Prudential Committee would continue to govern the North Bennington Graded School District. If one district votes not to join the merged district, it would most likely find itself in a similar situation. If more than one district, or Bennington, which the articles consider "necessary," votes no, then the merger fails.
The tax incentives that the law promises to districts that voluntarily merge prior to Nov. 30 were also discussed.
Even without those incentives, the act of normalizing the tax rate between the districts, each district would see changes. Based on this year's budget numbers, Bennington would see a one-cent increase, Pownal would see an eight-cent decrease, Shaftsbury would see no change, and Woodford would see a 13-cent increase. The incentives would artificially lower tax rates by eight cents in the first year of operation, then by two fewer in each subsequent year.
"What we did as a committee is we took this law that passed our legislature," said Leake. "We decided on this model. We could have sat back and done nothing and the state would have come down and said, 'This is what is going to happen.' The other option was, you come up with the best option available, to make the best package that we can. It might not be perfect, there's going to be some disagreements. If you look at how our board voted to warn the vote for the election, it was 3-2. There's definitely strong feelings for and against."
The forum lasted almost two hours, and covered many topics. One resident was concerned about merging with Bennington, pointing out the town has voted down several proposed school budgets in the recent past. Another wondered why Arlington hadn't been considered as a potential partner before Bennington. (It had, explained Campbell, but the process for leaving MAU ended up being too arduous for it to be a realistic option).
Other public forums are currently being scheduled, including at least one at the Bennington Fire Department.
The vote, which will include whether to form the district and an election of the district's board members, will take place on Nov. 7.

|The Joint Interim Committee on Cruise Industry Development meeting in Corpus Christi
Economic development has always been a goal of the Texas Senate. To that end, one of the committees meeting this interim has been charged with studying whether the cruise industry might bring new jobs to the south Texas Coast between Calhoun County, just northeast of Corpus Christi, and Brownsville at the far southern end of the state.
Today, October 15, 2012, the Joint Interim Committee to Study Cruise Industry Development traveled to Corpus Christi to examine what impact that business could have on the Coastal Bend. Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa and Representative Todd Hunter held the meeting at the Port of Corpus Christi, which, since its opening in 1926, has been a major center for U.S. exports and imports.
Chairman Hinojosa opened the hearing, telling the audience that their purpose was to find ways the Texas Legislature could assist the local governments in helping such businesses to develop and how state regulations would affect cruise operators. He also mentioned that the state has a long history of partnering with the private sector to create new jobs.
David Teal of the Texas Travel Industry Association told the committee that tourism jobs are always desirable, as they are "good jobs, middle class jobs, jobs people can make a living at", and that many of these are in the cruise industry, which is growing at seven percent per year.
Mayor Joe Adame of Corpus Christi said the cruise industry and its support structures would bring diversity to the job market in the Coastal Bend, leading to further investment from other companies. "The City of Port Aransas is alive and well largely due to tourism", testified Keith McMullin, Mayor of Port Aransas. He told the committee that a developed cruise industry couldn't help but be a benefit to the area's economy. Alita Bagley, of the South Padre Island City Council, said that with up to 50 thousand tourists at a time in her city, the importance of tourism in south Texas could not be underestimated and that a thriving cruise industry out of the Port of Brownsville would create jobs though out the Rio Grande Valley.
County officials followed, Burt Mills, Aransas County Judge, Terry Simpson from San Patricio County as well as county commissioners Joe McComb from Nueces county and Sofia Benavides from Cameron County all confirmed that they too were ready to work with the state in pursuing development of the industry in south Texas.
Representatives from the local Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Corporations and the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau said that currently the vast majority of tourists to the Coastal Bend were from the larger cities of Texas and that a cruise industry presence would attract others from even farther away. Diana Probst, from the Rockport Chamber, testified that there are seasonal lows that a cruise industry would help to fill, and that the spin-off businesses would be important as well. Cathy Colomo-Riojas from the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce agreed that the impact on the area's small businesses would be extremely positive.
Port Directors from both Brownsville and Corpus Christi testified that cruise ships would require the creation of a new infrastructure, not unlike that surrounding major airports, to support the crews, the cruise customers, and their needs. Public testimony followed.
The Joint Interim Committee to Study Cruise Industry Development is Chaired by Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa of McAllen and Representative Todd Hunter. Members include Senators Joan Huffman, Mike Jackson, Eddie Lucio, Jr., and Tommy Williams. House members include Gary Elkins, Ryan Guillen, Eddie Lucio III, and Connie Scott. The committee recessed subject to call of the chair.

This isn't much of a post except to say...
I'm in TEXAS!!! We've come to visit some family, and so I will be out of the blog loop for a week or so. But I may pop in on your blogs occasionally!
Hope you all have a happy-awesome week!!!
Howdy Y'all!!
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
I'm a mother, a Mormon and a musician, and I squee over all things pink and sparkly. I write books about doors that shouldn't be opened and enchanted tears that shouldn't be shed. I'm the proud wife of a farmer, and we live in a dinky Idaho farm town where the chances of getting stuck in tractor-induced traffic jams are highly likely. I believe anything can be made better with a good attitude and maybe a book packed away for those just-in-case times.

Landing pages and microsites steer consumers to information regarding your business and opportunities to take action. You need to know what your goal is in order to develop a path that leads your visitors to the specific material they need. Knowing the difference between landing pages and microsites can help you target the right visitors and guide them to the appropriate advertising campaigns.
What are Landing Pages?
Landing pages are connected from a social media post or an email capture page and filter out the rest of the website in order to reinforce a specific campaign message. They get your visitor to react with a particular action, to download, sign up, or make a purchase.
- They are very direct; eliminating opportunities for distraction, while optimizing all aspects from headlines, text, button colors, and placement.
- Their goal is maintaining consistency of brand and design to the main website. It is easy to test other versions of landing pages because they have few elements involved and there is a distinct gauge to find which one is working.
However, if viewed at the wrong buying stage, you might risk losing that viewer's engagement. Also, the simplicity that makes the design consistent can also restrict content and tone.
What are Microsites?
Microsites are not a summarized version of your website. They are small sites with a few pages built around a focused message and a variety of content serving one exact area of your business. The microsite can be dedicated to an academic program, a special offer, or another campaign.
- They are less driven for immediate action and more toward comprehensive exploration of a product or service without navigating the bulk of your website.
- Their goal is creative and flexible design and content structure, further occasions to engage, and testing new ideas before going site-wide.
However, they require very specific content and can weaken brand identity, have a vague call to action, and pose challenges involving administration of that particular site.
How to Use Them
Many people aren't making near the progress they could by being unaware that a major goal for online marketing is taking the consumer to a specific page of your website with a single purpose. A dedicated email signup page is a great example. Landing pages get the consumer decision right away, and microsites give customers reasons to keep coming back to get to know your brand and decide if they see value and relevance for what you're offering.
Advice to Business Owners
Technology can force your hand on whether to use microsites or landing pages. Your content management system may not be able to integrate third-party forms and it's easier to create pages. Consider the cost of creating dedicated content and hiring an agency to build a microsite. It can be overwhelming to do one on your own. Your content management system should allow you to share all content materials across microsites even if the design and content are altered.

Oxbridge Preparation
The way in to Oxford and Cambridge is a challenging one, and the kind of pupil who would revel in that challenge is exactly the kind of undergraduate for which Oxford and Cambridge are looking. Added to the difficult choice of course is the more difficult choice of college, and the substantial element of competition brings out high-flying hopefuls from all over the world. The extra reading, extra thought, extra talent that is required on students' behalf, is matched by the extra help offered by our enthusiastic and academically demanding staff.
Participation in our enrichment activities and Gifted and Talented programme allows even the youngest pupil to develop the kind of intellectual curiosity that is a prerequisite. For older pupils in Year 11, a trip to Cambridge University in the Autumn Term encourages them to clarify their ambitions. In the Spring Term, we host a seminar led by an admissions adviser from our link college, Trinity College Oxford, detailing the application process in a helpful step-by-step manner. Trinity College also offer our students overnight accommodation for Oxford University open days in the Summer Term. Applicants are encouraged to attend subject-specific masterclasses and summer schools. For Cambridge University, our link college is Kings, which also offers a range of facilities and opportunities for Teesside High School pupils.
The crucial thing for potential applicants for Oxford and Cambridge is that their respective colleges can recognise their potential, so rigorous mock interviews are arranged with visiting academics. Our knowledgeable advisers have up-to-date information on all aspects of the applications process, and teachers are happy to give additional coaching for subjects like Maths and languages where further tests have to be undertaken. The pay-off is that to an Oxbridge applicant, who has pushed themselves and been encouraged to think well beyond the bounds of the Sixth Form syllabus, A Levels can actually seem something of a relief!

Aesop Rock: Perpendicular to Everything
Anyone who questions the lyrical skills of Aesop Rock isn't listening carefully enough. Or at all. His records reward the repeated listen, the close reading, the attentive ear. His beat-building abilities are on par with his bars making him the complete Hip-hop package. Put that together with his visual art background and his knack for surrounding himself with creative friends of all stripes, and you've got one of the most interesting artists of the twenty-first century.
I met Aes in 2005 while backstage at the Showbox in Seattle, and though I have tested our bond by embarrassing myself in front of him many times, we've been friends ever since. Whether it was dumping a box of shirts into the street after a show or drunkenly crying during Kimya Dawson's set at Home Slice Pizza during SXSW in 2011, Aes has always had my back. He's a good dude that way.
Aesop was most recently one-third of Hail Mary Mallon along with fellow Def Jux expatriates Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz. When the following interview went to press, Aesop Rock had a brand new record out (Skelethon on RhymeSayers Entertainment), and was on the road, "until forever," he said.
Roy Christopher: Last time we hung out, I got kinda tipsy and annoyed the shit out of Rob Sonic. The time before that, I did the same and dumped a box of your merch all over East 10th street. Why do you even still talk to me?
Aesop Rock: Hm. These are facts. You dumped the merch, but you were trying to help so that gets a pass. The other was at a SXSW, so on one hand, exposure to drunken company is expected. Still, you are technically an adult. I want to like you. Our friendship is so complex. It's like a strange riddle whispered into an elder sled dog's ear seconds before starting his final Iditarod. What does it all mean? Who is Rob Sonic really? Why is Roy drunk and crying at a mid-afternoon, outdoor gig behind a pizza shop? Then I think to myself, "Ah, we are all dogs in this race. It's cold as shit and there's a lot of ground to cover. Mush!" That and you have been extremely supportive of me for many years, and I appreciate it a lot.
RC: Oh, of course! The last time we talked formally interview-wise, you said, "As I get older I get less obsessed with details and more obsessed with finding real general ways of saying a lot. Like an old man who doesn't speak much, but when he does it's some weird, clever statement that somehow sums up everything: That's what I wanna be." Does that statement still stand?
AR: That's gross. Don't quote me to me, man. I am a fucking supreme idiot. I think I obsess over some things, while other things go completely neglected. Obsession is the spice of life – you discover something, your brain gets zapped and you are alive in a new way, actively seeking information, being productive, finally finding some details worth paying attention to, etc. Musically speaking, I know I have reworked individual lyrics and sounds to extremes nobody who wasn't obsessed would bother with, or redoing things that sound exactly the same to others 800 times until it hits what I was looking for – whatever that means. Details rule, and I assume are emphasized by the stuff we neglect, whether artistically, life-istically, whatever. You might leave an obvious fuck-up untouched because it's the right fuck-up. Different things take different amounts of attention to become realized. Sometimes you wanna cut paper slowly and precisely with scissors to get a clean edge, sometimes you wanna tear it to show the rip. That's my updated take on "details," which I just re-read and feel is as vague as my 2005 version, with way more words. The second half of my '05 comment sounds beyond douche-y, and I'm sorry I put you through hearing somebody say those words out loud. Let's say that we're officially even for the merch drop now.
RC: Deal. You've really taken to the web lately with Twitter and various websites. What's the aim of 900 Bats?
AR: It's pretty much aimed at not having any aim. Albums take me a little while to make, and I guess I wanted to have a home for some public fuckery, beats, videos: just an outlet for crap when I felt like making it, as well as contributions from others looking for the same. I had some like-minded friends and we made 900 bats. Sometimes I stay super busy with it and try to gather content, make stuff, etc. Other times it goes untouched for weeks. I think it's a tiny arena where I can be creative with zero pressure or expectations, and I hope the others that have added things to it feel the same. It's been hard to keep up with now that I've been consumed with Skelethon stuff, but I find it a rewarding outlet to have when I need it.
RC: New York City seems like the place to be for Hip-hop, but you bounced to the Left Coast. How's the Bay Area different from New York for the way you approach this stuff?
AR: I have a really different life than I had in NY for many ever-evolving reasons. It was a big move. It's not a bus-ride away, which is the furthest I had ever lived previously. I kinda nurse this need to be alone while yelling about feeling lonely. That has led me to a relatively isolated life. Socializing in general, in the sense of hitting a bar at night, etc. never was my thing, but now that I live out here I find it even easier to escape/hide, to a perhaps unhealthy extent. Making songs has always been something I did at night while other people were out, or at least that's what it felt like. When I was younger, painting was like that: I would rather make some shit than go out. Jumping to the other side of the country enables that for better or for worse. It kinda seals the deal on a lot of the socializing because quite frankly I don't really know very many people here. The approach feels like "me vs. me" more than ever.
RC: When you're not messing around in the studio, you're out on the road. Which do you prefer?
AR: I prefer the studio because I like making things. That said, because Rob, Wiz and I are all over the country these days, touring is a nice chance to hang with those guys. Because songs have felt like the byproduct of antisocial behavior for me, hitting a point in my life when someone was like "ok, time to tour!" – I was just like… "ummm what?" I mean, in '01 I finally quit my day-job to do my first official "tour," and I sorta freaked out and didn't even end up going. It felt like the exact opposite of what I was putting into the songs, and I just couldn't wrangle it in. It still feels that way. "Performing" is an awkward thing for me. I kinda hate it. I love it, but I kinda hate it. I mean it feels undeniably fantastic to be in a room with people getting loud for you and your songs, but I will never not find it fucking terrifying. I think over the years I have adapted to the point of coping, but the entire "on tour" experience hasn't been something I have found comfort in. Regardless, I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all.
RC: This is for the premier BMX 'zine, so I have to ask, you ever ride BMX?
AR: Skateboarding played a gigantic roll in my youth, from elementary school through my young 20's. In maybe 7th grade however, I was coaxed over to the local dirt track behind Pumpernickels restaurant. I'd say for about a year or so I abandoned skating and rode a bike. I enjoyed it, but ultimately had picked up skating again by the time high school came around. BMX is sick as fuck and I will still sit and watch that shit any time.
Here's the video for "Zero Dark Thirty" from Skelethon [runtime: 3:32]:
Ed note: This interview originally appeared in Mike Daily's Aggro Rag Freestyle Mag #13: The Hip-hop Issue in July, 2012. As that issue is now nearly out of print, I'm posting it here by kind permission of Mike Daily for those that missed out. Many thanks to him, Chrissy Piper, Dana Meyerson, and, of course, Aesop Rock.

Sleeplessness Home Remedy: Hot milk really does work before bed because it contains calcium, which is a general relaxant as well as a muscle relaxant.Hot milk also contains triptophane, an amino acid that helps with the first phase of falling to sleep. Lavender is also a relaxant. You can put eight drops of lavender oil in a little whole milk, cream or oil, and add it to a hot bath after it is drawn. If you don't have a tub, put three drops of lavender oil on the middle of your spine, right below the hairline.

What food you take determines your health. Same is the case with gastric problems. First you need to diagnose the causes of gastritis and then apply the right medicine. Gastric pain is mainly caused by culprits like infectious microorganisms, injury, food poisoning, food intolerance, excessive alcohol consumption, caffeine or continuous use of pain killers.
Article Contents
What are the Natural Remedies ?
Homeopathic medicines are safe to use and gentle within the body without unwanted side effects of allopathic medicines. Selected medicines in the right proportions like Calc phos, Carbo veg, Nat phos, Mag carb and Silicea help to absorb poisonous substances in the body. They act as a catalyst in neutralizing acid in the stomach and calm the digestive system by acting as an internal cleanser.
Eat more fresh organic fruits and vegetables which are rich in antioxidants. They support the body to resist and heal diseases and infection. They are also high in fiber and help in recovering from stomach ulcers and also prevent the occurrence of one.
Apple cider vinegar helps to reduce the acid reflux and calms the stomach and helps in easy digestion. It is rich in minerals and vitamins, which reduce acid environment in the body.

Chemical medicines might toxify the body. Using natural herbs are good remedies. Peppermint calms the stomach. Licorice when taken coats the stomach with a protective gel and prevents the attack from gastric acid.
Rice is the only grain that does not induce gas production. But if you are experiencing bloating and gas pain, its better to replace your grains with brown rice, basmati rice or wild rice.

Soy based milk alternative is good for lactose intolerant people. Soy protein is a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids that your body requires.
Some Good Food Habits
LiveStrong reports that the basic principle of reducing acidity in the stomache is to consume small frequent meals rather than 3 large meals in a day. Small amounts of food are less burdensome on the stomache and will require less acid secretion.
Mayo Clinic states that chewing food slowly and thoroughly can reduce acid reflux. Being relaxed can also promote easy of digestion. Staying up without going to bed while eating and 1 hour afterward will cause the food to go into the stomache without causing back flow.
Related – Stomach Flu Treatment : What are the Best Home Remedies?
Avoid eating before going to bed. Eating before bed time can cause secretion of gastric acid during the night. If too many problems occur due to acidity during the night, its best to elevate the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches.
Eating alkaline foods like fresh green vegetables, fruit, healthy nuts, seeds and oils and soy products can be an antidote for acidic body conditions. Raw food and plenty of clean water should be part of regular diet.

Ayurvedic Medicine
Indian traditional cure for bloating and acidity. Two tips are mentioned in a magazine.
Tip #1
Mix the following herbs in equal quantities into powder (also called "churnam)
- Carom Seeds
- Dried Ginger
- Cumin Seeds
- Long Pepper
Daily take half-spoon powder and another half-spoon with jaggery in the morning and evening. This will reduce gastric problems.
Tip #2
If you eat 4 mint leaves daily, digestive system will improve.
Related – Stomache Ache After Eating : Causes and Treatment
The foods to avoid for gastric problems are fried food, processed food, carbonated drinks, alcohol, meat etc. Eating rice, fruits and vegetables, soy products can reduce acidity and keep your stomache more alkaline.
Also regularly cleaning your digestive system naturally from time to time will reduce the bad bacterial. Also undergoing liver detox reduces the toxin load on the liver.
Do you have gastric problems? What type of foods do you consume? What type of food you avoid? Please comment and share your thoughts!

But there is another issue I want to underscore. Unless you have driven from Jerusalem to Efrat to Tekoa, please don't whine about the conditions of the Palestinians, because what you will see on the drive I just mentioned, are fabulous homes all along the Palestinian territories, and the few Israeli outposts in the area have very very modest homes built with their own hands and that of their neighbors.To get an idea of what Cobb is writing about, take a look at Arab Mansions, a post by Shiloh Musings written back in March 2007.
She wrote:
It's very annoying and inaccurate that people who aren't familiar with the facts on the ground here in the Shomron, north of Jerusalem, Israel, have such a totally distorted view of things.Here are the pictures she took:
My neighbors and I live in small, modest homes. Yes, that's the truth. The large, enormous mansions north of Jerusalem all belong to Arabs. For the longest time, I had been thinking of trying to sell a photo-story showing those elegant structures. Then finally during Succot, I mentioned it to a neighbor who said that he'd love to drive around with me, while I took pictures. thanks ms! So we went off one day and were amazed at how many gorgeous mansions were between Shiloh and Jerusalem.
At the time, Jawa Report linked to the Shiloh Musings post and noted:
Not that I'm against Arabs living in mansions--I'm all for anybody living in as large a house as they can afford, restricted only by their conscience--but I do think this is a glaring example of both the media and Palestinian agitator hypocrisy. When was the last time you saw any images of Palestinians which weren't of "refugee camps" or of kids being "oppressed by Israel"?West Bank Mama linked to the post as well, and in the comments Israel Medad writes:
Pointing out the big, opulent Arab houses was always part of my "preliminary" Hasbara tour, bringing journalists and diplomats out to Shiloh during the 80s, but then Oslo came along and we stopped going through Ramallah where it was a lot easier to see these houses, especially at the southern entrance, along, what else, Palestine Street. In fact, during one of our "making-our-presence-felt" tours in 1989, we walked out of Psagot and down into Ramallah right through an entire neighborhood of houses three times bigger than I could ever afford to build (the rest of the walk we were dodging IDF soldiers who were informed of a bunch of crazy Jews walking through the town. We made it to the Mitzpah, a great archeological site, and half-way to Givat Ze'ev before they caught up with us leaving them with no alternative but to simply walk alongside us as there were no roads in that area to drive us out).And of course, not to be left out, in Gaza--there's the Aldeira Hotel
And the Roots Club:
Then again, maybe the members of the flotilla just want to try out Gaza's Olympic-size swimming pool
Gaza's first Olympic-standard swimming pool was inaugurated at the As-Sadaka club during a ceremony on Tuesday held by the Islamic Society.Good to know that Gaza--The World's Biggest Open Air Prison Camp™--is surviving.
Gaza government ministers, members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, leaders of Islamic and national governing bodies, as well as club members and athletes were among those at the opening ceremony, where Secretary-General of the Islamic Society Nasim Yaseen thanked the donors who helped realize the project.

Oracle Explores the 'Next Frontier' for BPM: Mobile Customer Experience
The rush to mobility is also fueling a not-so-quiet revolution in BPM, where companies are looking to improve customer experiences – not just their internal processes. Oracle Corp. is working on best practices and technologies to let firms leverage BPM, SOA and mobile skills for smarter, customer-friendly apps that improve how customers and companies interact. IDN speaks with Oracle's Ajay Khanna.
director for BPM
product marketing
"BPM isn't just about internal efficiencies anymore. It provides an intelligent way to interact with valuable customers."
The rush to mobility is also fueling a not-so-quiet revolution in BPM (business process management), where companies are looking to improve customer experiences – not just internal processes.
BPM has long been used to improve the visibility and effectiveness of internal business processes to make employees and operations more efficient and profitable. But today, some leading BPM and SOA providers say BPM should take on a new imperative – to enhance customer experience (CX), and in turn, increase revenues and customer retention rates, Ajay Khanna, Oracle's Director for BPM product marketing, told IDN.
"BPM has the power to improve the point of interaction with the customer, and that's what we're focusing on. The goal is to help companies deliver an improved CX with smarter and more customer-friendly ways to interact with them," he said.
To that end, Oracle is working on best practices and technologies aimed at such a goal, he said. In specific, Khanna said Oracle intends to help companies improve the customer experience by blending together the best of SOA, BPM and mobility skills.
This customer-facing revolution in BPM is spurred by the widespread ways companies are using apps, social media and other mobile technologies to interact with customers, Khanna added.
This new CX for BPM is not just about a sexier customer UI for smartphones or tablets, Khanna insisted. That's why a combination of BPM, SOA integration and mobility hold the keys to CX success.
"With knowledge of how an efficient customer process should work, we can do more than simply provide a smarter UI for the user," he said. "We can also feed data from the customer to a company's backend systems or even [human] help desks so [companies] will have much more insight into the customer's situation, and be able to help them more effectively and quickly."
Khanna shared some compelling business examples. In insurance, for instance, imagine a BPM-optimized mobile app that could automatically dispatch tow trucks or an ambulance in the case of an auto accident. In healthcare, home monitoring devices could send ongoing data on the health of outpatients back to doctors or hospitals.
These examples are not all that far-fetched. In fact, one of today's most popular mobile apps in banking is powered by a combination of CX-centric BPM, mobile and integration to backend systems or data (via SOA, REST, JSON etc.). You use your smartphone to deposit your check into your bank account by just snapping a photo, and you don't have to drive the physical check to the bank.
"This kind of application means BPM has turned your smartphone into a kind of remote ATM," Khanna said. "You can't take money out, of course, but when you deposit and get your balance, that app is going through many bank processes and security policies."
Inside Oracle's Methodologies for using BPM
To Build a Better Mobile Customer Experience
"Though the basics of BPM implementation methodology remain the same, there are a few more considerations while designing the processes that are customer facing and are targeted for a positive customer experience and customer engagement," Khanna told IDN.
Khanna shared some of key elements of Oracle's emerging methodology and reference architecture using BPM to power CX outcomes.
Khanna explained the big picture for BPM for CX this way: "It begins with the customer journey and then identifies all of the pieces required to deliver an exceptional customer experience." He walked IDN through seven key steps to BPM-powered CX success.
1. Understanding the customer journey. Document the customer journey for the complete customer lifecycle, across all channels offered to your customers. Understand how the customer researches the product, how they buy, how they use, how they report an issue, and how they terminate the service.
2. Understand your channels. Make note of all the channels that customers can use to interact with your company, and with a particular process. Pay particular attention because the channels allowed for one process may not be permitted for another. Multichannel or omni-channel processes may let customers initiate processes or respond to process steps using web, email, phone, chat or even social media. Some processes may also have customers coming into physical store locations (contract signing, etc.).
3. Understand the user interaction. Determine the right user interface and form factor for each interaction. Consider the types of devices the users will use, the personalization required, and how dynamic the UI and experience is.
4. Mobile and device support. Mobile technologies are significantly impacting the customer experience, as a channel for customer interaction, and providing context to the business process to provide the right experience to customers. Additionally, there are many other smart devices that may be integrated to the process to enhance the customer experience. Internet-enabled smart meters, home medical monitoring devices, and smart appliances or smart cars can all provide relevant events and data that, when integrated with processes, enhance the customer experience.
5. Manage business services. Once you understand the customer journey, focus on determining the systems and service that will enable that process. (This is not hugely different form basic process design methodology.)
6. Manage information. Manage the information, including process data, business objects and master data. In addition to process data, also look to include insights from the processing of big data and fast data for real-time decision management or predictive analysis. When used in a customer-facing process (Oracle's Real Time Decision and Oracle Event Processing with BPM Suite) it not only makes processes more efficient, but it also helps in making the right decisions for the customers, further improving the customer satisfaction.
7. Manage Content. Content/knowledge management is a vital piece of the customer experience. If it is a self-service process, make sure that the customer has access to the right knowledge to complete the process easily. For processes like loan origination, the process may also need to integrate with document management systems. The right content and knowledge management strategy will impact the effectiveness of the customer experience.
In the near future, Oracle plans to formalize the above methodology and include best practices in its BPM Suite product offering, Khanna told IDN. "Once we show companies the power of insight into the customer that using BPM in new ways can provide, they see whole new ways to realize value from BPM," he said. "They see that BPM isn't just about internal efficiencies anymore. It provides an intelligent way to interact with valuable customers."

Cordjia was formed in 2007 as a holding company to invest in, or seed and grow organically, companies with bright futures which could be spurred to outstanding growth through a combination of Cordjia's financial and intellectual capital. The following year Cordjia launched four new businesses; Cordjia Technology Services, Cordjia Capital Projects Group, Cordjia Business Advisory Services and Cordjia Private Equity. CTS (later renamed DecisivEdge) also developed and launched CorVant as an independent line of business. All of these companies deliver unique and high-quality services to a broad range of highly-recognized clients and is directed by at least one of Cordjia's four founders. Each business reflected an opportunity to put Cordjia's unique assets to work and for Cordjia's founders to use their deep business experience and industry contacts to generate superior returns. Cordjia also formed two limited partnership to make a small number of private equity investments in promising third party firms.
In 2012 and 2013 Cordjia successfully spun out all of its organically developed businesses as self-sustaining, independent companies which are still lead by at least one of Cordjia founders. Cordjia also exited each of the third party private equity investments that it made. In 2014 the holding company, Cordjia LLC, was dissolved.

Today on a sunny day The whole of team 3 went outside to do athletic activities. We got to play 3 activities and my class Rm 11 played gumboot throw first, 2nd we played basketball and 3rd we played the sack race. At the athletic activities after every activity someone rings the bell and then we move on to the next activity clockwise.
Gumboot throw
In the gumboot throw we got a tennis ball, a sock, a bean bag, a green heavy ball, and a wooden ball. We got put into teams and each team gets to pick any objects out of those 5 things. In the gumboot throw we threw our first ball and had to choose another ball that we did not choose before.
When we heard the bell ring all of Rm 11 Said ''YAY'' because we were going to play basketball. When we got to the courts we got put into 2 teams and had to shoot the ball into one hoop. My team got most basketballs in the hoop. The other team had the ball and Amelia went to go throw the ball in the hoop and she got the ball stuck on the side and we tried to get it out with the other ball and did.
Sack race
The last activity we did was the sack race we got split into 6 groups. In my team was Chastity, Hinerangi and Me one of us had to go twice because we had 3 people and some other teams had four. I was gasping for breath when I went twice. In the sack race Amelia was like a spring bouncing up and down and further and further as she went.
It was fun playing The activity`s I felt happy and tired at the same time. My favourite part was when Amelia got the ball stuck on the side of the hoop.

There are so many events the company encourages us to participate in. I just ran the See Jane Run 5k with about a dozen other girls from work. With so many co-workers participating, it becomes a team event, which makes it fun. I have co-workers that I do Crossfit with, co-workers that I lift with, co-workers that I hike with, etc., etc.
There is a constant buzz around the office about workouts and nutrition. We are always exchanging tips and ideas, like trying Jamie Eason's Turkey Meatball Muffins and bringing other healthy treats into the office and sharing the recipes.

Elaine Stritch, one of Broadway theater's most beloved fixtures, is retiring. From April 2-6, the 88-year old performer will be enjoying her final engagement at the Cafe Carlyle, the famed hotel and cabaret/music venue that has been a favorite for many Broadway and musical theater stars. Titled "Movin' Over and Out," the evening will give NYC audiences one last chance to see Stritch on stage before she returns to her home state of Michigan to retire. Rob Bowman will be at the piano for the event, which will provide Elaine Stritch a chance to share stories and songs.
Recently seen by TV audiences as a regular guest star on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, Elaine Stritch made her Broadway debut in 1946 in the play Loco. She appeared in several Broadway musicals in the '50s, including Call Me Madam, Pal Joey, and On Your Toes.
Elaine Stritch is particularly treasured for her role as Joanne in the 1970 Stephen Sondheim/George Furth musical Company, which was captured on the show's original cast recording and an accompanying video documentary. In 2002, she was lauded for her biographical solo show Elaine Stritch At Liberty. Stritch's most recent Broadway appearance was in the revival of A Little Night Music.

Man Jailed After Shooting in North St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – One man is in custody after a shooting overnight in North St. Louis. Around midnight, several people got into an argument along Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Bayard Avenue.
One man pulled out a gun and fired a shot into the air. That prompted a second man to fire back, hitting the first man in the shoulder.
