Li Hu and Zheng Ren come from opposite ends of China's class hierarchy, with Hu the son of an extremely poor peasant family and Ren the son of a respected military commander and his third wife. The threat of a barbarian invasion during the Han Empire has brought these two boys together as Hu's father was drafted to perform hard labor reinforcing a crumbling part of the Great Wall, while Ren's father was sent from the capital city with his battalion to supervise the repairs.
In a gesture of good will, Commander Zheng proposed that his battalion host an archery competition for the townspeople during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hu dreamed of winning the archery competition and the grand prize, one of the commander's own horses. Selling that horse would go a long way to help buy food and warm clothing for his family. Ren dreamed of winning as well, but he sought his father's hard-won respect more than any prize. Little did these boys realize that training for the competition would set them on a harrowing course of danger and deceit that would affect the well-being of the entire town.
This skillfully-crafted work of historical fiction provides an exciting tale of life in ancient China when rigid class structures afforded people little freedom to maneuver beyond a strictly-defined set of expectations. The poorest households remained highly vulnerable to hunger, cold, and disease, with little hope of assistance or advancement. Alison Lloyd uses these conditions to motivate a unique storyline that will both inform and entertain readers as they wonder about the fate of these two unlikely friends.

"This disc opens with the seldom-heard Variations on a Russian Theme that five composers wrote to honor the conductor Nikolai Galkin. It is an attractive theme that is wittily scored by the five. Only Sokolov took the task seriously, but all five provided a rousing work.
"Glazunov's two piano concertos retain a rather weak hold in the recorded repertoire, with three or four recordings each. Both are Romantic, rather lush, and need a strong pianist to make them memorable. I am always reminded of the wretched-sounding performance that Richter recorded nearly 50 years ago, which still remains as my choice for the first concerto. His flamboyance really makes it sound like a first-class work. The modern recording with the mother-son team of Yablonskaya-Yablonsky comes very close to Richter in most respects. There is fire and passion in Yablonskya's playing, which helps to carry both scores, while Yablonsky provides full0blooded orchestral support.
"The recorded sound is very fine, as re the notes. Naxos's bargain price is just an added incentive to buy this well-filled disc."
"GLAZUNOV has never really enjoyed the posthumous recognition he deserves, but over the past few years Naxos has certainly been doing its bit in trying to get his music more widely known. This disc is Vol 14 in a series of his orchestral works, and brings together the two piano concertos and the Variations on a Russian Theme that Glazunov wrote in contemporaries, including Rimsky-Korsakov and Lyadov.
"These affectionate performances by Oxana Yablonskaya and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra highlight not just the technical professionalism that Glazunov could always rely upon to get him through, but also the blend of lyricism and orchestral colour that distinguish his music at its most engaging. Neither the First Concerto (1910-11) nor the Second (1917) might have the strong melodic profile of a Rachmaninov or Tchaikovsky, but they are works in the ripe Romantic tradition, with a breadth and grandeur of their own."

Taylorville Care Center is a skilled nursing home with both short-term and long-term care programs. We value our residents as individuals and strive to have a positive impact on their health, comfort, and well being. As a member of the Southwest Coalition for Culture Change, we continually seek to make a difference in our resident's lives by creating a person-centered culture in our community.
The care and comfort of our residents is our first priority. We operate with the philosophy that each resident should be nurtured, respected, and engaged in making decisions about their activities and health care. Our individualized care plans consider a resident's health care needs, abilities, and their family's input. Ultimately, we focus on fulfilling a resident's wishes to the greatest extent possible.
With our progressive rehabilitation program, we want our residents to regain as much mobility and independence as possible so they can return to their own homes. We are happy to work with patients on a short-term basis to help them recover from hospital procedures or surgery. Residents who's health improves but still require extra help may consider joining our family at Taylorville Estates, our neighboring assisted living community.
We combine the expertise of registered nurses, physical and occupational therapists, a registered dietician, a specially-trained activity director, and many other quality staff members to provide the comprehensive care and support our residents need. At Taylorville Care Center, we take pride in the high level of education, training and experience our staff members have gained in their specific fields.
Caring for seniors and individuals with special needs is more than just providing a place to live, eat, and sleep. For a living environment to be truly called a home, residents need to be nurtured, respected, and engaged in making decisions about their activities and health care. You will find all of these attributes at any one of our senior living facilities. To learn more about King Management, please visit us at: www.kingmgt.com, or give us a call at (618) 327-3064.

Ever since my girls have been babies, they've both been supremely picky eaters.
As in "will pretty much only eat foods that are white or beige or orange" kind of picky eaters.
They don't even eat normal "kid foods" like spaghetti sauce or chicken or hamburgers (unless it is a McDonalds emergency and then only if it is plain and the edges are cut off).
I often wonder if I perpetuated this pickiness because I, myself, am somewhat particular in my culinary preferences. But no, my husband and I eat a variety of nutritious foods and are, for the most part, pretty health conscious and have always offered everything we make to the girls. In fact, we have video proof. When Thing 1 was about two years old my husband set up the video camera at the end of the table (unbeknownst to me) and caught me singing a wonderful self-scribed song singing the praises of the vegetable soup I was trying to convince her to eat. It's become a bit of a family joke and to this day – 15+ years later – one of them will still occasionally burst out with "YUM, YUM, Vegetable Soup!! Mommy loves Vegetable Soup! Daddy loves Vegetable Soup!" just to piss me off.
But for some reason, they just don't like most "normal" foods. Not even crappy fast food (thank God).
For over 17 years it has been a struggle to get them to eat things that aren't solely in the carbohydrate group and that come with at least a marginal nutritional value. When Thing 2 discovered that she liked bacon last year I about bought a pig farm I was so happy.
Thankfully they like fruit. No kidding, in the summer we blow through pints of strawberries like a "Real Housewife" blows through Xanax.
Apples, pineapple, grapes, Cuties…they get their color there.
Occasionally they'll dip a few raw spinach leaves into a cup full of ranch dressing, but the ratio of spinach to ranch is so uneven they might as well just use a spoon.
I know there are many of you who are part of this picky eater kid club. We're a special bunch, but membership comes at a price.
Membership requirements include (but are not limited to):
- Difficulty eating out because your child won't eat most things on regular menus and you must always pick a restaurant that serves plain pasta (BUT WITH NO GREEN SHIT ON TOP).
- Difficulty eating at friends' houses for dinner because 50 bucks says your child won't touch whatever they are making – even if it is burgers on the grill or — God forbid — frozen chicken nuggets.
- Difficulty eating as a family because strangely enough, you and your husband do not want to eat quesadillas or grilled cheese sandwiches or peanut butter every night for dinner.
- Being subjected to the judgement from parents of kids who eat everything (or the parents who claim their kids eat everything).
- Worrying about your child getting the nutrition she needs solely from the five things she eats on a rotating basis.
- Having to pack their lunches every day because they'd vomit if they ever had to eat the school lunch (however, in their defense, so would I).
And before some of you get all bent out of shape about not catering to your kid and how I should at the very least expect them to try a variety of foods and how I've perpetuated their pickiness and their resulting nutritional deficiencies, let me tell you a little story that might shed some light on my position…and that just might help those of you who are struggling with this issue with your much younger children feel a little bit better.
When Thing 1 was six years old, I'd had it with her picky eating.
I was sick and tired of having to make a pot of mac-n-cheese with every meal my husband and I ate just so she'd have something to eat.
So I tried the tough love.
One night I made lasagna, which she, of course, couldn't even look at without gagging.
We put a small square on her plate (no lie, it was like a 1″ square) and told her she had to eat it before she could leave the table.
Swear to God, that child sat at the table crying for over two hours with us yelling and threatening and storming around increasingly as the clock ticked away.
And — spoiler alert — she didn't ever eat the lasagna. If we hadn't have changed the consequence (the details of which all these years later I have forgotten) she might very well still be sitting at the table today, 12 years later.
So I did what most first time moms do when all else fails.
I took her to the doctor.
And to this day, I am grateful to that woman for her advice.
She told us things we already knew and had tried; things that had been a source of frustration in their failure for years:
- Have your child help plan the meal. (Done — many, many times — and which always resulted in the same thing: pb&j's and apple bites)
- Make sure your child knows that it is the parents' job to cook the dinner and the child's job to eat the dinner, and the consequence of refusal is hunger. (Harsh, but okay, I could live with that as long as my child didn't end up looking like a sad, malnourished child that large groups of famous singers were singing songs about.)
- Always have at least one thing on the table that your child likes. (In our case, a basket of bread and a bowl of apple bites. Every night.)
- Most importantly? Do not make dinnertime a battle.
The doctor told us to go home and recommit ourselves to these rules for two months — however pointless we thought they were — and then return for a follow-up.
In the next two months, nothing changed.
Thing 1 still only ate carbs and apples and didn't try one new thing, but my husband and I kept our mouths shut and followed the rules.
When we went back to the doctor two months later, she asked us how dinner had been going.
At the exact same time, I said "terrible" and Thing 1 said "great!"
The doctor looked at Thing 1 and asked her why she answered that way, and she said, "Because dinnertime isn't so mean anymore and I'm not sad at the table."
Here's the lesson in that six year old's honest statement (as told to me by the doctor, but that I still carry with me, all these years later) –
As a parent, don't make food a control issue with your children (especially important with girls).
Eating shouldn't be associated with stress or fear.
Lay out clear expectations and try your best not to cater to to your child, but don't make eating be about power – on either side of the table.
And maybe the best lesson?
Your kid will not starve.
And something else I need to say:
Mothers with children who eat meat and fish and broccoli and sushi? Please don't judge.
Please don't roll your eyes when our kids don't eat your green bean casserole or sloppy joes when they're at your house for dinner and poke at their mashed potatoes. Contrary to what you might think, we're not catering to our kids and feeding them only BBQ potato chips and string cheese for dinner and letting them walk all over us. We don't know why our kids are picky and yours aren't any more than we know why your kid might wet the bed or suck his thumb at age six and ours doesn't.
We're just trying our best – like you are – to raise our kids with a healthy attitude towards food. And by healthy, I may not mean one that is chock full of vitamins A and D, but one that doesn't turn on them when they're teenagers.
And it's not easy.
In fact, like so many areas of parenting, it's damn frustrating.
My girls are insanely picky eaters, but they are healthy (they get sick fewer times than most kids) and are growing just as they're supposed to be growing.
Do I wish they ate soups and mexican food and chicken and veggies and eggs and beans?
Sure I do.
But I know that given their own space and timeline and ownership over their control of the food they eat, they eventually will.
The other day Thing 2 tried edamame and ate a whole bowl. Now it's all she's requesting for dinner.
Thing 1 ate three shrimp when we were out to eat the other night.
Sure, I was kinda pissed that I had three less shrimp to eat, but still was pretty damn impressed, and felt just fine with the way I'm raising my picky eaters.
Okay, fine, it doesn't, but it will bring you welcome distraction from whatever it is you are avoiding by being on the computer.
This +1 button tells Google you liked what you've read. Thanks!

2003 Volvo S60 Reviews
2003 S60 New Car Test Drive
Volvo S60 offers a Swedish-modern alternative to BMW's 3 Series sedans. The S60 combines exciting performance and a stylish shape with Volvo's well-deserved reputation for outstanding safety. S60 feels like a tight European sedan. It rides smoothly, offers good acceleration performance and nice, precise steering.
S60 fills the middle range in Volvo's lineup: It's larger than the S40, but not quite as large as the premium-luxury S80. Not surprisingly, the S60 also fits between those models in price, starting at $26,370 but rising to more than $36,000 for a loaded S60 2.5T AWD or a high-performance S60 T5.
For 2003, Volvo is offering a less-expensive base model with a cloth interior. At the same time, Volvo has made an in-dash CD player and leather-covered steering wheel and shifter standard on all S60 models. The all-wheel-drive version is more powerful than before, and several popular option packages have been expanded to include more goodies.
Four models are available: S60 2.4 ($26,370), S60 2.4T ($30,425), S60 2.5T AWD ($32,175), and S60 T5 ($32,825).
S60 2.4 comes with a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine that produces 168 horsepower and 166 pounds-feet of torque. (A 165-horsepower, super-low-emissions, or SULEV, version is sold only in California.) A five-speed manual transmission is standard. A five-speed automatic transmission adds $1000. The 2.4T gets redesigned 15-inch alloy wheels for 2003. A new Sport Package ($750) adds fog lights and upgrades the wheels to 16-inches. The $2,995 Premium Package adds Electronic Climate Control, wood trim and a trip computer, in addition to a moonroof, leather upholstery, and a power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support and memory.
S60 2.4T offers more power with a low-pressure turbocharger to generate 197 horsepower and 210 pounds-feet of torque. That torque comes on at a much lower engine speed (1800 rpm instead of 4500 rpm), giving this model much better acceleration away from intersections. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard. Wood-grain interior trim and electronic climate control are standard. The 2.4T gets redesigned wheels and bigger tires this year (P215/55R16). The Sport Package ($700) for this model adds 17-inch wheels with 235/45R17 tires and Geartronic auto-stick control for the transmission. A Premium Package ($2,755) for 2.4T and 2.5T AWD adds leather upholstery, trip computer, moonroof, and power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support and memory.
S60 2.5T AWD brings still more power and all-wheel drive. Last year's all-wheel-drive model was powered by the same engine as the 2.4T. New for 2003, the 2.5T AWD model runs with a slightly larger-displacement five-cylinder, still using light-pressure turbocharging to produce a responsive 208 horsepower and 236 pounds-feet of torque. The torque peaks at a super-low 1500 rpm for low-speed pulling power. The Geartronic automatic is standard. The Sport Package ($750) adds 17-inch wheels, 235/45R17 tires and T5 model's front and rear sport seats.
S60 T5 uses a high-pressure turbo to produce 247 horsepower and 243 pounds-feet of torque for truly pulse-quickening acceleration. A five-speed manual transmission is again standard, with the Geartronic automatic a $1200 option. Aluminum mesh replaces woodgrain in the interior. Power-adjustable sport seats and a trip computer are standard. The T5 Sport Package ($750) adds 17-inch wheels, 235/45R17 tires, and a stiffer suspension. The Premium Package for the T5 ($1995) adds leather and power moonroof.
Volvo is a leader in safety and all S60 models get a raft of safety and security items: front, side and head airbags up front; five head restraints; seats that move on impact to reduce whiplash injuries; an immobilizer and an alarm; a Safe Approach and Home Safe Lighting System; and anti-lock disc brakes with electronic brake distribution.
Convenience features common to every S60 include air conditioning with a pollen filter; power windows, trunk release and door locks; illuminated visor mirrors; a trunk light; a tilt/telescopic steering wheel wrapped in leather; headlight wipers; power folding headrests; 60/40 split-folding rear seat; cupholders front and rear, steering-wheel controls for the audio system; and remote keyless entry.
The Climate Package (standard on 2.5T AWD, $495 on other S60's) includes Rainsensor wipers, which replace the intermittent wiper control and automatically adjusts wiper speed based on the amount of water sensed on the windshield. A Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound stereo ($1200) is available on 2.4T, 2.5T AWD, and T5. Volvo's new On Call Plus telematics/mobile phone ($835) is available for all models.

On 26th May 2014, the whole country was watching or celebrating the swearing-in ceremony of PM Narendra Modi. At about the same time, around 6pm, Salim got a call from one Ms Mittal that a TabCab driver drove over her 1-month-old pet labrador puppy, which was on leash, at Malad West, on SV Road, next to Bata Showroom.
The situation was that a political morcha, most likely in celebration of Mr. Modi's swearing-in as PM, was arriving at the junction. The Tabcab driver wanted to avoid the delay caused by the morcha, and so he sped and took a sharp blind turn due to which he did not see the puppy or Ms Mittal and drove over the puppy killing it on the spot.
So Salim rushed to the place within 45 minutes and called Police to the spot and hold the cab driver until police arrive. The Police performed a Panchnama on the body and the body was sent for post-mortem. Since the culprit, Mr. Manish, was standing right there, he was arrested on the spot and taken to Malad Police Station.
The Police filed an FIR against him (FIR no.260/14) under IPC section 279 (for rash driving), IPC section 429 (for mischief by maiming/killing an animal of worth Rs. 50 or above) and PCA Section 11 (1) (a) for over-driving.
The cab he was driving is numbered MH01 BD 6070.
As of May 28th, the culprit was supposedly still behind bars as he did not pay the bail amount. The company TabCab has responded to us with responsibility and has informed us that the driver is suspended from the company's association. Having animal lovers in their upper management, they have also agreed to work with us in this field in the future.
We hope that the life of the little labrador puppy will not have gone in vain. If TabCab implements a policy of explicitly training their drivers to respect animals, especially strays, then it will be an act of commendable Corporate Social Responsibility as the entire cab industry will have to take note and learn from such an initiative.
We fervently hope Tabcab delivers in this regard as their approach has been very responsible and cooperative so far.
Activist involved: Salim.

Philosophies, Politics and Their Policies - The 'Apples and Oranges' That Drive People Bananas
[The Following comes from way too much time in the rambling politics on my real life FB page. Enjoy or be intrigued, or however, by what you read.]
Or, simply put, the reason to have a standard by which to compare and contrast it all.
First and foremost, it is important to consider what is meant by the old adage that the path to Hell is paved by good intentions.
As a Christian and Catholic, the other thing I personally consider is what did St. Paul mean by saying, "with fear and trembling work out your salvation"?
On the latter, I particularly like the Aramaic English translation that states it as follows:
"with awe and with trembling, do the service of your life."
The pursuit of life is not easy. I'm of particular belief that it was always meant to be a challenge. And one that ought to be taken up. For it is one's life to live, no one else can do it for you. Some might cooperate and work along side you, others might coerce and attempt to make you work for them. But ultimately, it is you, the person living your life, that has to take responsibility for it, and take the actions necessary to do what you have to do for your own salvation, for the core service of your life - only you can pursue your own life and find the happiness and goodness that is sought for whatever that 'good life' may be.
No one individual has the same vision of what that life is. People may have similar views, but not completely the same. We can say that they would have to be robots to have same pattern of thoughts, but as our own technology shows, even core kernels, like that which Microsoft, Macs, and Linux have in common, they also sprout out to do things similar in different ways. And they also follow a pattern of what their creators intended for them to follow. A sort of residual of the 'fingerprint of God', in a certain manner akin to Tolkien's co-creation concept. And yes, I do believe in Tolkien's concept of the 'true myth' - or, as I perceive it, that which has been long since marred and mimicked by the bullshit, but is actually true.
As for apples and oranges? They are both fruits. Similar, but also different, but similar enough to be compared, and have a standard to do so, as well as a standard by which to contrast them. They both have skins, texture, and taste. An apple is a much more firm fruit, somewhat more tart in taste, with a skin that can be eaten. An orange is softer, more citrus and somewhat sour in taste, and a more juicy type fruit, to which most generally do not eat the skin. See? Compared and contrasted by the standards of what they have in common. It's something of value to learn to do, for your own good, at the very least.
But if you say comparing politics and philosophies is in much the same category, I can agree to some extent. But then you have to find a standard to compare and contrast the philosophies, politics, and the policies they lead to. And that is what the Church Fathers did with the pagan philosophies.
Sometimes, it worked out, and, for the things that had been core to Roman municipalities, as well to res publicae, and res comunae, these worked out perfectly for creating the standards of law for the Holy Roman Empire to come, not to mention the core vision of Western philosophy and the social contract of a constitutional governing system with an emphasis on human rights. Where they failed, it led to the 'dark ages' types of societies that preferred the more totalitarian methods of governing - the ones that refused to believe in public domain and would tax the air if they could, but happily taxed the land and claimed their own private domains, and the people upon it their property. And as such, the commons become those by which the totalitarian power can claim right to deprive people life, liberty, and the basic pursuit of living their lives. In other words, Ayn Rand and Margaret Sanger philosophies, policies, and practices would be perfectly ok under a totalitarian state, because the people in power would have every right to consider how to control, and even kill their people, because in a society where the common people are property, they can be discarded in like manner as people do with a 16 oz bottle of pop.
In one instance, you could call them Socialists in the sense of how totalitarian their view of Kingship was as the government over the people. In another instance, you could call them the ultimate capitalists because they viewed everything on their land, including the water, animals, and human beings, as their private property. But, overall, they should be a relatively clear picture of what happens in a totalitarian government, be it that they claim name as 'Socialist' or 'Capitalist' in nature. They both intend to enslave the commons and they both view the commons as their property, be it as servants to the state, or mere chattel that they count per capita - 'for each head', as the Latin term means.
Again, it's your life to live. You can somewhat live in comfort as the chattel or servants of such states of being. Or, you can work out your own salvation, do the service of your life, work out the pursuit of your life, albeit with all the risks that come with doing so. But at least you would be doing such pursuit of life through the principle of liberty. The principles of justice? Well, that and true human and God's virtues remain the struggle to continue to be fleshed out in the spirit of the Lord.
In short, you can try to live for the personalities of others, or you can make of your life what you will on your own terms. Even the saints will agree that, eventually, you have to separate from the icon, and seek out the real deal.

Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin has been linked with moves to Newcastle United and Sunderland.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has admitted to Get West London that his arrival at Queens Park Rangers is unlikely to make players stay at Loftus Road.
Hasselbaink's appointment at QPR has generated a great deal of excitement, but the Dutchman insists that there is no guarantee that he will be able to keep key players at the club in January.
Hasselbaink, instead, wants to create a structure at the R's which will help any new additions he does make in the new year settle in quickly.
"Players will always come and go whatever you do," he said. "That happens at every football club. QPR is no different.
"The player and the club will always be here and it will be as strong as ever. That's how it is.
"What you can do is make a way of working and putting a platform down for the ones who are going to come in and slot in straight away.
"That's how it is. I'm not someone who can stop people going. Eventually people are going to come and people are going to go."
One of the players who QPR face the biggest fight to hold of in January is Charlie Austin.
The striker has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, with Newcastle United and Sunderland said to be the most interested by the Chronicle.
Austin's contract at QPR expires at the end of the season, leaving the club with little bargaining power if a top-flight side does make a bid for the striker.
Losing Austin would be a major blow for QPR's promotion chances, as the 26-year-old front-man has scored eight goals in 14 appearances this term.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 16, 2013) - Tigray Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TIG) ("Tigray" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from its Phase One Drill Program on the Adyabo Property in Northern Ethiopia which was comprised of five diamond drill holes at the Mato Bula Prospect and one drill hole at the Mato Bula North Prospect. Five diamond drill holes at the Mato Bula Prospect tested approximately 500 metres of strike and one drill hole tested the Mato Bula North Prospect situated one kilometre to the northeast of the Mato Bula Prospect. New encouraging geochemical results for Da Tambuk (trench sampling of 4m @ 14.53g/t Au), approximately 3km along strike of the Mato Bula North Prospect, are also presented, advancing the prospectivity of this new emerging target.
Key intersections include:
Mato Bula Upper Lode
Mato Bula Main Lode
Mato Bula North
Diamond Drill Hole Results

Mato Bula
The high-grade gold mineralization at Mato Bula is associated with chalcopyrite-rich quartz veins hosted within a silica-sericite-chlorite-pyrite alteration zone. Recent rock chip and trench sampling at Mato Bula delineated a well-defined surface target over 800 metres long including three gold-bearing mineralized lodes (refer to Tigray's news release dated Jan 24th, 2013), within a 2km long geochemical Cu-Au anomalous zone. The lodes from NW to SE comprise the Upper Lode, the Main Lode (main gold artisanal workings) and the Lower Lode, defining a 70 to 85m wide target zone. The five holes at Mato Bula tested part of this target, between 35m and 120m below surface on five drill sections spaced at 60m to 220m apart, with best grade mineralization beneath the base of oxidation.
It is significant to note that the thickest high grade intercepts from the drilling at Mato Bula are on the most southerly and northerly of the five sections drilled and thus the target is open in all directions. Further diamond drilling is required to test this Au mineralization along strike, down plunge and down dip.
Mato Bula North
Mato Bula North is a 200 metre long malachite-rich silica alteration zone (hill) with abundant copper-rich porphyry dikes, and adjacent gold surface targets as defined by soil geochemistry. Significant copper was previously defined at Mato Bula North where Trench 08 chip samples returned nine metres at 0.87% copper (remaining open to the west). Drilling has defined disseminated, stringer, vein and massive sulphide vein style Cu-Au mineralization associated with very intense silica alteration. WMD001 has tested part of the target, but the drillhole required abandonment short of the planned 145 metre final depth. It is interpreted that the hole did not fully test the entire target, as defined from surface showings.
Da Tambuk
New infill soil sampling results and channel sampling from two trenches for Da Tambuk have recently been received (refer to Tigray's news release dated Jan 24th, 2013 for previous results). Da Tambuk is approximately 4km NNE and along strike of Mato Bula. Soil sampling at 40 x 40m has highlighted a 1.5km long >50ppb gold anomaly over an intense sericite alteration zone with variable silica alteration and zones of sulphide. Trenching over the northern end of the soil anomaly has encountered 16m @ 3.95 g/t Au (Trench ADT004 with 2m continuous rock chip channel sampling), including 4m @ 14.53 g/t Au. Multiple trenches over the target are now being completed for follow up. The discovery of high grade mineralization at Mato Bula and Da Tambuk has significantly enhanced the overall prospectivity of the 5.5km trend of mineralization.
Deposit Style
Although exploration is at an early stage, the geological setting with volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and associated chert and limestone, the associated schistose sericite-chlorite alteration assemblages, and both high-grade gold with lesser, but significant, copper, and thicker zones of lower-grade copper-gold mineralization suggest that this is a deposit style or variant not previously discovered in the Arabian-Nubian Shield in Northern Ethiopia. The Mato Bula prospect occurs in a province in which there are known VMS deposits, and there are both Zn-Pb soil anomalies and barite horizons defined in the vicinity. At this stage further drilling will be required to test the full potential of this system of new prospects.
Quality Control
The planning, execution and monitoring of Tigray's quality control programs at the Harvest project are under the supervision of Jeff Heidema, P.Geo., Tigray's Vice President Exploration. Mr. Heidema is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Diamond drill core samples have undergone preliminary preparation at the Acme Laboratories facility in Ankara, Turkey, and are crushed to 80% passing 10 mesh, and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh (Acme R200-1000 package). Analyses are conducted at Acme Laboratories in Vancouver, Canada, utilizing Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-ES for base metal and silver analyses. Gold analyses are conducted via Fire Assay Fusion with AA finish, and gravimetric analyses are completed for over-limit samples. Blanks and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. Duplicate samples are inserted into the sample stream to both monitor laboratory performance and also characterize potential mineralization.

Sports Report – January 11th
Rugby Leicester Tigers Rugby Development Player Programme
Congratulations to the following students who have retained their place in the Leicester Tigers Rugby Development Player Programme for 2016 after a series of gruelling training sessions and trial matches.
U16 Harrison Grimmett
U15 Henry Wells, Rory Stoker
U14 Joseph Collier, William Westwood
Over the weekend, the Ratcliffe equestrian team showed off their talent with 3 out of our 4 teams qualifying for the National Championships, a superb achievement. The 70cm team was comprised of Madeline Dunstan (Year 5), Georgie Daynes (Year 5), Erin Somerville (Year 7) and Kate Woodhouse (Year 9), who all got double clears and as a team came 2nd in the whole class, therefore winning the Leicestershire section and qualifying for the National Championships. Madeline and Georgie were also the youngest riders across the whole event. The 80cm team, with Madeline and Georgie again, joined by Brooke (Year 7) and Jade England (Year 9) came 4th in the class, also wining their Leicestershire section and again qualifying for the National Championships. The 90cm team consisting of India Beresford (Year 10), Jade, Maddy Lindop (Year 8) and Olly Jackson (Year 9) just missed out on being placed but managed to redeem themselves in the 1 metre class as India, Maddy, Jade and Olly all jumped clear (the only school across the Counties to do so) to gain 1st place and a ticket to the Championships! All the students and horses were complete stars, representing the School brilliantly in both their behaviour and riding. We qualified based on their ability to jump steadily and carefully, bringing home the double clears needed for the teams to go through. This was a phenomenal result as it was a prestigious event; on behalf of all the team, we would like to thank Professor Sarah Freeman for organising it all for us.
Go Gold Awards
Well done to Olivia Gilchrist, Olivia Back and Niamh Noble who have all been given Go Gold Podium awards again this year, by Leicestershire and Rutland Sport.
Congratulations to Niamh Noble who has been selected for the England U15 Fencing Squad. Niamh will be part of the Epee discipline and will now travel to Poland in March to represent her country. Niamh also entered the Cambridge Winter Open during the holidays. She was up against adult fencers, but despite this, through mature fencing, she performed well to battle through to the semi-finals and win a bronze medal.
Well done to Olivia Back who attended the England U18 training camp over Christmas at Bisham Abbey. Olivia's U16 Leicester Ladies' side are also through to the U16s' indoor finals after winning their Outdoor group.

Helping Members of the Guard and Reserve Assert Their Employment Rights
Under federal law, members of the National Guard and Reserve have certain job protections when their military service affects civilian employment. If you feel your employer has not treated you fairly regarding a military service obligation, it makes sense to talk with an experienced employment lawyer and find out what your legal options are.
At Zatuchni & Associates, we advise and take action on behalf of people who have suffered adverse employment consequences due to service in the National Guard or reserve. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help. We serve clients in New Jersey and New York.
Employment Protections for the Guard and Reserve
The federal law that establishes the employment rights and responsibilities of members of the National Guard and Reserve − and their employers − is called the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). We are very familiar with this law and regulations put forth by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The law applies to all types of employers, and requires them to allow participation in military service. This does not only cover an employee's ongoing duty to participate in military training one or two days a month. It also includes reinstatement to an employee's previous job following a deployment in the Armed Forces, as well as safeguards for seniority, benefits, and any necessary retraining.
Unfortunately, employers are not always as willing as they should be to enable an employee to meet military service obligations. This is where our skilled employment law attorneys can help. You shouldn't have to lose your job, miss out on benefits, or be denied a chance at promotion just because you had to leave on a deployment to serve your country. We can build a case aimed at showing that your employers' claims of business necessity for their adverse actions should not carry the day because they violate federal law.

Iron Maiden is back in the beer business.
The group -- which has already released Trooper ale, Trooper 666 and a Red 'N' Black Porter -- is teaming again with Robinsons Brewery in England for a six-percent ABV Belgian-style beer called Hallowed.
The beer takes its name from "Hallowed Be They Name" from Maiden's 1982 album Number Of The Beast, and the label will feature Iron Maiden mascot Eddie dressed as a Belgian monk.
Robinsons Brewery on Twitter
We can now reveal our new 'HALLOWED' beer with @IronMaiden... https://t.co/Yb1y52dqFe
In a statement, Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson says that, "What makes this brew pretty special is that we're adopting a Belgian yeast for the first time. I'm a big fan of Belgian beers, so I jumped at the chance to brew my own. While I get very excited about experimenting with new formulas and ingredients, the thing about Belgian beer is that it's as much a way of life as it is a drink. We've tried to bottle that philosophy in Hallowed, albeit with a British twist."
Hallowed marks the first time that Robinsons has used a different yeast in one of its beers since 1942. Hallowed will be released during October and be sold for just four months, with more details to be announced soon.

Currently we are using workflow with custom table and OOCU_RESP for approvals. OOCU_RESP is using responsibilities with container elements such as Project assigned to agent=users. They are not using HR org structure. The custom table tells it what rule to look up and WF looks for the container element matching the order and pings out a message to that person. However OOCU_RESP is slow with the number of entries (over 30k across 60 rules). Im thinking of moving all this data to a series of custom tables instead as Im sure it will be quicker! We are not using OOCU_RESP for the way it is intended, and are just using each rule as a bucket to hold similar assignments, but when we want to work back the way and find a user of container element, reporting is verrry slow!
Im interested in if there could be any other config or approaches using WF that I might have missed? Also Im interested in hearing from experience, if you have used a custom table instead of oocu-resp because of performance issues?

Do you remember Chernobyl? Nuclear disaster contamination: apparently worse than previously thought
On 26 April 1986, reactor # 4 at the Chernobyl (Chornobyl) Nuclear Power Station, 100 km north from Kiev, blew up during a routine daily operation. Nearly nine tons of radioactive material – 90 times as much as the Hiroshima bomb – were hurled into the sky. Winds over the following days, mostly blowing north and west, carried, fallout into Belarus, as well as Russia, Poland and the Baltic region.
On 25 April, prior to a routine shutdown, the reactor crew at Chernobyl 4 began preparing for a test to determine how long turbines would spin and supply power to the main circulating pumps following a loss of main electrical power supply. This test had been carried out at Chernobyl the previous year, but the power from the turbine ran down too rapidly, so new voltage regulator designs were to be tested.
A series of operator actions, including the disabling of automatic shutdown mechanisms, preceded the attempted test early on 26 April. By the time that the operator moved to shut down the reactor, the reactor was in an extremely unstable condition. A peculiarity of the design of the control rods caused a dramatic power surge as they were inserted into the reactor
The interaction of very hot fuel with the cooling water led to fuel fragmentation along with rapid steam production and an increase in pressure. The design characteristics of the reactor were such that substantial damage to even three or four fuel assemblies can – and did – result in the destruction of the reactor. The overpressure caused the 1000 t cover plate of the reactor to become partially detached, rupturing the fuel channels and jamming all the control rods, which by that time were only halfway down. Intense steam generation then spread throughout the whole core (fed by water dumped into the core due to the rupture of the emergency cooling circuit) causing a steam explosion and releasing fission products to the atmosphere. About two to three seconds later, a second explosion threw out fragments from the fuel channels and hot graphite.
There is some dispute among experts about the character of this second explosion, but it is likely to have been caused by the production of hydrogen from zirconium-steam reactions.
Two workers died as a result of these explosions. The graphite (about a quarter of the 1200 tonnes of it was estimated to have been ejected) and fuel became incandescent and started a number of firesf, causing the main release of radioactivity into the environment. A total of about 14 EBq (14 x 1018 Bq) of radioactivity was released, over half of it being from biologically-inert noble gases.
About 200-300 tonnes of water per hour was injected into the intact half of the reactor using the auxiliary feedwater pumps but this was stopped after half a day owing to the danger of it flowing into and flooding units 1 and 2. From the second to tenth day after the accident, some 5000 tonnes of boron, dolomite, sand, clay and lead were dropped on to the burning core by helicopter in an effort to extinguish the blaze and limit the release of radioactive particles.
Environmental and health effects of the Chernobyl accident
Several organisations have reported on the impacts of the Chernobyl accident, but all have had problems assessing the significance of their observations because of the lack of reliable public health information before 1986.
In 1989, the World Health Organization (WHO) first raised concerns that local medical scientists had incorrectly attributed various biological and health effects to radiation exposureg. Following this, the Government of the USSR requested the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to coordinate an international experts' assessment of accident's radiological, environmental and health consequences in selected towns of the most heavily contaminated areas in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Between March 1990 and June 1991, a total of 50 field missions were conducted by 200 experts from 25 countries (including the USSR), seven organisations, and 11 laboratories3 . In the absence of pre-1986 data, it compared a control population with those exposed to radiation. Significant health disorders were evident in both control and exposed groups, but, at that stage, none was radiation related
Radiation units and biological effects
We meet radiation everywhere in nature. Naturally occurring radioactive elements in the ground emit radiation which gives an external dose. Some of these elements enter food chains and can enter the human body, resulting in an internal dose. In addition, there is constant exposure to radiation from space (cosmic radiation). This is collectively described as "background radiation".
A number of units are used to express quantities of radiation absorbed by the body or amounts of radioactivity deposited on the ground or existing in a cloud. These units have been expressed differently over the years and each has its own precise physical description. For the purposes of this booklet, the most recently agreed international units have been employed although their detailed scientific descriptions are not addressed.
The most useful in this context is the unit of effective dose — the sievert. (The older unit was the rem. 1 sievert (Sv) = 100 rem.) In the present context, the millisievert (mSv) is often employed. That equals 1/l000th (1 x 10– 3) of a sievert. The following notes put the size of this unit in perspective.
The total natural background dose varies a great deal. The average is about 1 to 2 mSv per year, but values several times higher are not uncommon. In some areas, the natural background dose is more than 60 times the global average. It has not been possible to find a relation between natural radiation dose and adverse health effects. Natural radiation background and its variations therefore may serve as an indicator of what doses may be considered to be acceptable.
The naturally occurring radioactive radon gas from the ground is sometimes trapped and concentrated in buildings. Where houses are well insulated, doses from radon in homes may exceed the natural background dose many times. Doses of radon of more than 10 mSv per year are not uncommon, and they are levels at which controls must be exercised.
Pictuers of the disaster
Chernobyl disaster: First aerial video
Chernobyl Uncensored – Documentary
The Chernobyl disaster (Ukrainian: Чорнобильська катастрофа, Chornobylska Katastrofa — Chornobyl Catastrophe) was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then officially Ukrainian SSR), which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central authorities of the Soviet Union. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe.
The Chernobyl disaster is widely considered to have been the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles. The official Soviet casualty count of 31 deaths has been disputed, and long-term effects such as cancers and deformities are still being accounted for.

'Olympic Destroyer' malware targeted Pyeongchang Games: FirmsReprints
(Reuters) — Several U.S. cyber security firms said on Monday that they had uncovered a computer virus dubbed "Olympic Destroyer" that was likely used in an attack on Friday's opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Games.
Games organizers confirmed the attack on Sunday, saying that it affected internet and television services but did not compromise critical operations. Organizers did not say who was behind the attack or provide detailed discussion of the malware, though a spokesman said that all issues had been resolved as of Saturday.
Researchers with cyber security firms Cisco Systems Inc., CrowdStrike and FireEye Inc. said in blog posts and statements to Reuters on Monday that they had analyzed computer code they believed was used in Friday's attack.
All three security companies said the Olympic Destroyer malware was designed to knock computers offline by deleting critical system files, which would render the machines useless.
The three firms said they did not know who was behind the attack.
"Disruption is the clear objective in this type of attack and it leaves us confident in thinking that the actors behind this were after embarrassment of the Olympic committee during the opening ceremony," Cisco said in its blog.
The attack took the Olympics website offline, which meant that some people could not print out tickets and WiFi used by reporters covering the games did not work during the opening ceremony, according to Cisco.
Drones that were intended to be used in the program failed to deploy, prompting organizers to insert prerecorded footage of the drones in global telecasts.
It was not immediately clear if the issue with the drones was caused by the cyber attack.

Introducing {the bunny project}. Have your child's artwork professionally photographed and designed as an art book!
Does the photo to the right look familiar? How much artwork does your child (or children) create, between home and school?
With a custom art book, there are no more piles of art stuffed in drawers or boxes with the threat of being damaged or forgotten. Honour your child's creativity by having a professional art book created as a lasting memory of their imagination and their unique way of looking at the world at a particular time of their lives. It's a way to preserve their art in a compact and beautiful item, perfect for a coffee table, or tucked neatly away on a bookshelf. Create one for each child, or one book that celebrates the art of multiple children. Have one done each year or every few years, and you can keep it as a legacy to pass on to your children when they are grown, as a tender memory of their childhood. You can create custom bunny books for grandparents as a unique and personal gift, or even for already grown children whose art you still have stored somewhere in a dusty box. They will undoubtedly cherish this wonderful keepsake!
I first conceived of the bunny project a few years ago when my daughter was painting. I loved this awkward and strange looking bunny (featured right), and pulled out my camera. Lucky I did, because soon after my daughter decided to paint over the bunny and it was gone forever. It dawned on me that I should photograph her art and preserve it somehow. The bunny project was born!

I have a big, serious addiction to online shopping.
I love Amazon. I discovered it last year and now I have a bunch of books from there.
I love Asos. I have parcels from Asos coming in every month for me.
I don't love Zalora, though. While they offer really good service, (COD on delivery, next day service, etc) the quality of the clothes really aren't there. I was too lazy to return it to them, so now I stick to Asos.
The problem with a shopping addiction, like any other addiction, is that it's very costly.
I also went on quite the shopping spree this year. I shopped around for not one but three island holidays. Then I went and bought a bunch of furniture from Ikea. Here, look at my new cupboard!
And it's a bit ironic, I had to buy a new cupboard because I had so much stuff.
Look, I really like Redken stuff okay. I was stocking up for a rainy day! I posted this picture on Instagram and then a friend of mine asked me how many heads exactly did I think I have – only one head to shampoo, no need so much shampoo?
Then I went and bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
So yes. I feel like I've been behaving like a stupid, spoilt brat. I see something I like, I go out and buy it. And honestly, it feels extremely meaningless. I want to stop this. And this is why I'm doing the no buying clothes or shoes for a year. I won't be buying myself anymore gadgets too for the year, and no more bags. Speaking of which, I bought myself a Macbook Air last November. Then I went to Europe earlier this year and bought myself a Prada bag.
So yes. I have a serious shopping problem. No, I'm not in debt. Okay, a bit of debt. Debt that's cleared in the next month or so. Or maybe two or three months.
So this has to stop. No more buying all this endless amounts of stuff that's not really contributing to anything in my life except for giving me a fat credit card bill every month.
Goodbye, Asos. I will see you next year.

Icy Russian Arctic drama "How I Ended This Summer" won the best-picture prize at the London Film Festival on Wednesday, and British director Clio Barnard took two awards for her innovative drama-documentary "The Arbor."
Actress Patricia Clarkson, who headed the best-film judging panel, praised Alexei Popogrebsky's "visceral psychological drama" about two meteorologists who clash at a remote polar research station. She sad "How I Ended This Summer" was "a cinematic tour de force ... tense, moving and universal in its scope."
The Russian film beat a shortlist that included ballet thriller "Black Swan," Academy Award-tipped royal stuttering drama "The King's Speech" and the Cannes Film Festival top prizewinner "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives."
The 54-year-old London festival introduced a best-film prize last year as part of a bid to boost its profile and compete with better-known events in Berlin, Venice and Toronto.
The festival's awards were handed out at a black-tie dinner ceremony in London's 18th-century St. Luke's church. Among those attending was director Martin Scorsese, who paid tribute to the work of the festival organizer, the British Film Institute, in preserving old movies.
Barnard won the best debut feature and best British newcomer awards for "The Arbor," an innovative docudrama about the short life and troubled legacy of working-class playwright Andrea Dunbar.
Barnard interviewed family and friends of Dunbar, who stormed the theater scene in the 1980s with savagely funny plays about northern English life, but died of a brain hemorrhage in 1990 at the age of 29. On-screen the words are lip synched by actors, creating a hybrid of drama and documentary that won praise from critics and audiences.
The festival's artistic director, Sandra Hebron, called it "a challenging, moving and utterly memorable film."
The Grierson prize for documentary went to "Armadillo," Janus Metz's film about Danish soldiers in Afghanistan.
Director Danny Boyle received the British Film Institute Fellowship, a lifetime achievement award, in recognition of a career that stretches from attention-grabbing 1990s British films like "Shallow Grave" and "Trainspotting" to "Slumdog Millionaire," the world-conquering story of a quiz-winning Indian teenager. It won eight Academy Awards in 2009, including best director.
Boyle's latest film, "127 Hours," closes the festival on Thursday. It stars James Franco as climber Aron Ralston, who amputated his own arm with a dull blade after it was trapped by a boulder in a canyon in Utah.
The two-week festival of more than 300 films from 68 countries opened Oct. 13 with "Never Let Me Go," starring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield as boarding school friends groomed for a sinister fate.

Beverage That Rejuvenates: Shake For Health And Beauty
If you make yourself a shake with whole milk or ice cream, you got a great dessert, but if you mix in certain ingredients it will replace a meal and it will supply your body with necessary nutrients. Here is the recipe for the powerful shake that will rejuvenate your body thanks to its irreplaceable antioxidants.
It will take you one minute to prepare it literally, and one glass of this tasty shake will prove everybody that you don't need a full plate for a decent meal.
You can enjoy this shake once a day in the morning or evening. You'll need these ingredients:
1. Dried plums, 1 cup
Dried plums or prunes contain 6 times more antioxidants than fresh fruit. They're also a great source of magnesium and potassium, and as we all know they're a great remedy for poor digestion.
2. Blueberries, ¾ of a cup, fresh or frozen
This fruit is great for cardiovascular system keeping it flexible and healthy.
3. Flax seeds, 2 teaspoons of ground flax seeds
The most common way we consume flax seeds is in bread, but we should eat them more often because of omega 3 fatty acids they contain, which improve your skin and digestion. Besides skin, this ingredient will help your heart, brain, and colon, and it will also give your shake that nutty taste.
4. Fish oil
Forget that terrible tasting oil you might remember as a kid that you had to drink for strong bones. Full of vitamin D, fish oil protects bones, joints, heart, brain, hair and eyes, and it also helps prevent some cancers.
5. Whey protein, 2 teaspoons
This protein is most known among fitness enthusiasts because it is one of the healthiest ingredients for shakes after the workout. In this shake, its primary role is not building muscle but rather keeping you full for longer.
6. Yeast powder, 1 teaspoon
Group B vitamins are essential for healthy skin and hair. Feasting on these valuable nutrients rejuvenates your skin and hair like no other products for rejuvenation. It also contains iron, potassium and calcium, all you need to deal with is unappealing taste.
Put all ingredients in the blender and add some ice cubes according to your wishes. Sweeten it up with some honey, mix it and pour it into cups.

DETROIT, MI -- About 108 Flint Northwestern High School students boarded two charter buses sunny Friday afternoon to head for a destination in Detroit to celebrate their prom.
Parents snapped photos outside the high school as students arrived along a catwalk-style entrance, before students dressed in suits and dresses waved goodbye and traveled to the Detroit Princess Riverboat for some food and dancing.
"It means everything to be at prom," said Courtney Sawyers, an 18-year-old senior dressed in a pink dress with a bejeweled tiara. "I wanted to feel like a princess. And to be here, I am so excited to see everybody dressed up so nice and clean."
The prom had an "Under the Sea" theme, appropriately enough, as the four-deck, 222-foot long riverboat charged along the banks of the Detroit River near the U.S.-Canada border.
"You only get this chance once in a lifetime, so you better make it count," said senior TaWanna Manuel.

If the blog looks different, don't be alarmed, I just decided to switch to a more standard theme. The "EVERYTHING IS CHINA" one is fun but I don't like how it handles text and block quotes, and I'm too lazy to manually fiddle with it.

Hi Daniel! My wife is from Liuzou and I'd like to ask you about your time there. Can't seem to find a "contact" link on your site, so hoping you'll reply to my email address. I'd like to know where you worked as well, as I'm considering moving there with her next year.
Cheers and thanks,

Associated British Ports Southampton have awarded RESON a contract to supply a SeaBat 7101 multibeam sonar system. RESON will install and train ABP Southampton Hydrographic Survey personnel in the use of the system and associated sensors. RESON will be intergrating the system onboard the Port Survey Launch Protector along with an Applanix POS MV WaveMaster. The multibeam survey system will be used for shallow water Hydrographic and Engi-neering surveys in Southampton.
The RESON SeaBat 7101 offers a number of new and unique features. The new top side transceiver provides an inte-grated multiport serial card and is available with data acquisition with display as well as data processing on the same hardware platform. Four video outputs allow multiple survey and helm displays to be run. Roll stabilization and variable swath coverage of up to 150° featuring at an operating frequency of 240kHz offers a preferred combination of swath and resolution.
A real-time uncertainty output from the SeaBat 7101 may be used in RESON PDS2000 data acquisition software, along with information from other sensors to calculate a TPE (Total Propagated Error). Soundings may be filtered by setting either the relevant IHO order or by defining a custom vertical error limit. Other new features in SeaBat 7101 in-clude quality filter and advanced diagnostic which increase survey efficiency. Further, AutoPilot uses sonar tuning values from a default or user generated look-up table for hands free sonar operation.
Mr William Heaps, Assiatant Marine Advisor & Hydrographic Manager for Associated British Ports comments: "The use of the SeaBat systems are ideally suited to the port environment, and with RESON's proven and trusted record we look forward to continuing and further expanding our professional working relationship together."
Ms Mairi Forrest, RESON: "We are delighted that ABP Southampton have chosen RESON for their multibeam re-quirements. We look forward to supporting them and adding them to our family of professional Hydrographic users in the UK."
Associated British Ports (ABP) are the largest and leading Ports Group in the UK. ABP's 21 ports, together with the other transport-related businesses that constitute the ABP Group, form a UK-wide network capable of handling every conceivable type of cargo. ABP is backed by investment in modern facilities and equipment, and supported by expe-rienced staff. The Group's activities cover transport, haulage and terminal operations, ship's agency, dredging and marine consultancy. Each port also offers a well-established community of port-service providers.

lovely outfit. ooh, loving those shoes. And yes, the platform makes them so comfy. I only buy platforms at the moment, because they give height and are comfy.
I'm a live in jeans girl too. It's only summer when I bare my legs! That said, I'm going to sainsbury's in my maxi today. Bet I still a heel through the hem again! ha ha ha.
love this weekly peek into your wardrobe. Not only do you have a really good and unique style, but you always buy things at corking bargains!

That's a fabulous outfit, those shoes really finish it off beautifully. xxxReplyDelete
Hi just found your blog via Memoirs of a vintage magpie and love the top. But you little tinker I was getting all excited for you on your big night out until reality struck and it seems we were both sitting reading Maeve Binchy but my drink of choice was hot chocolate (light of course). Nice visiting you and if you ever feel the need of a virtual cup of coffee pop on by you are always sure of a warm welcome.
Take care, keep safe, be happy
Beverley xx
oooh wow those shoes are GORGEOUS!
I love this outfit, and those shoes are goorgeous! I've been after a pair of nude killer heels for a while but never go anywhere to justify it *sulk*
Thanks for your comment on my kitchen. I am happy with it, but I still see all the unfinished bits at the moment! Definitely an improvement from bare brick though :) x
Killer shoes!! I got ones like that but without the platform and after 30 minutes i was walking bare foot!! They gave me cramp!!!ReplyDelete

Recorded in New York City, November 24, 1959
Produced for CD release by Jordi Pujol
Digitally remastered from the original Stereo tapes.
JR. Monterose (not to be confused with fellow tenor Jack Montrose) is most famous for a gig that he personally did not enjoy, playing with Charles Mingus in 1956 and recording on Mingus' breakthrough album Pithecanthropus Erectus. He grew up in Utica, NY, played in territory bands in the Midwest, and then moved to New York City in the early '50s. Monterose played with Buddy Rich (1952) and Claude Thornhill and recorded with (among others) Teddy Charles, Jon Eardley, and Eddie Bert. After leaving Mingus (whom he did not get along with), Monterose played with Kenny Dorham's Jazz Prophets and recorded a strong set for Blue Note as a leader. Although he performed into the 1980s (doubling on soprano in later years), Monterose never really became famous. In addition to his Blue Note date, he led sets for Jaro (a 1959 session later reissued by Xanadu), Studio 4 (which was reissued by V.S.O.P.), a very obscure 1969 outing for the Dutch label Heavy Soul Music (1969), and, during 1979-1981, albums for Progressive, Cadence, and two for Uptown.

About Us
The St. Paul Friend of Youth Foundation was founded in 1996 to recognize the principle of optimism and good citizenship in youth. We seek to honor achievement in the face of adversity and promote excellence in the development of leadership through education. The Foundation grew out of the Optimist Club of St. Paul, which was founded in 1925 and has served over 15,000 local youth since inception. The Foundation's purpose as a charitable 501( c )3 is to increase our ability to provide funding support to St. Paul youth striving for higher education. We have awarded over $240,000 worth of scholarships since 1996.
As education costs have skyrocketed, it has become increasingly imperative to assist motivated but financially challenged students. 100% of members or the Optimist Club of St. Paul have donated to the St. Paul Friend of Youth Foundation.
Each year the St. Paul Friend of Youth Foundation petitions all schools in the city of St. Paul for students who have succeeded academically and civically in the face of adversity. This adversity could be economic, familial or from disability. Fifteen youth are objectively selected and honored in a Youth Appreciation evening. Last year, we awarded over $20,000 in scholarships.
In 2006, we formed an alliance with the following colleges: St. Catherine's, Macalester, Hamline, St. Thomas and Augsburg. These schools have agreed to match our scholarship award and then renew this award annually for up to 4 years. This makes our current $1500 award potentially $7500 over four years.
