Happy belated Easter
We headed away to Napier and the Hawkes Bay for the break and had a really wonderful time (even the weather was amazing!).
While you've been out stash shopping, has your husband or partner ever had a rude comment from the shop you've been in? I went stash shopping on Saturday in Napier, and to cut a long story short my husband had been with me, gone away and come back in to find me and one of the two ladies said in a rude manner to him 'Do you think there is something hidden in here?'. In other words - what are you doing in here? They must get husbands in there all the time, and if I had known I wouldn't have bothered parting with my money. It made me very annoyed!
Anyway, here's the stash I bought - Japanese Montage by Art Stitch, Thinking in the Rain (this is a kit, I'm not sure what you'd call it exactly - embroidery?? It uses back stitch, french knots etc but no cross stitch), Ellen Chester by With My Needle and Stag's Leap by Kingsland.
On our way home yesterday we took a different route and spent about three hours travelling through some very remote countryside (even the farmers we saw waved at us as we went by, a sure sign of how remote it was). We only passed through one very small town called Poranghau. The reason we took this way home was to see the place with the longest name in the world. My nephew counted the letters for us and there are 85! Oh, and the name is in Maori in case you are trying to read it. I can pronounce some of it, but it's just knowing where to stop and take a breath. :-)
Have a great week! (I'm hoping this week is the week my stitching mojo returns!)

Nice stash! Bummer about the rude commet from the store ladies though. Geez! I don't usually take my DH stash shopping so I wouldn't know if it would happen here or not. :D I love that place name! Wow wow!

Hi Rowyn, I think I can pretty much guess which LNS you were in, such a shame.
I hope you enjoyed the countryside in my neck of the woods, (I live in Waipukurau). Have a good week.
- 1:32 pm
What a rude cow!
I loved saying that place name as a kid but I tend to forget big chunks of it now, not surprisingly!

- Farm Girl said...
Hi Rowyn, what a shame she was so rude - always helps to keep hubbies on side when shopping for stash, I've found. Love the place name - I wouldn't even attempt to say the whole thing! Hope you had a lovely Easter.
- 5:43 pm
- Carol said...
Oh, that sign is just great, Rowyn!! I'm sure it would take me forever to learn how to pronounce it...85 letters--wow!
Nice new stash--I especially love Stag's Leap! My husband has never ventured in a cross stitch shop with me--I can't imagine being treated so rudely, though!
Is your weather beginning to cool over there now that ours is warming up? Hope you had a nice Easter weekend, too, Rowyn!
- 11:50 pm
- Catherine said...
Lovely stash! If that had been my husband, I am sure he would have had the perfect response to quickly quiet them! It's a shame that people have to be so ignorant.
That sign is amazing!

- Blu said...
Well, that was very rude!
Great stash. Thinking in the Rain looks really cute.
So is there a nickname for this place, because there's no way people who live there say that every single time!
- 8:57 am
- MyLifesAStitch said...
How rude! It never ceases to amaze me just how hateful people can be. :(
Great acquisitions! Here's to your stitchy mojo making a rapid comeback!! :)
That is an amazingly long word! I'd try to pronounce it (in English-ese, of course) if I weren't so tired, lol!
- 3:47 pm
- Michelle said...
That remark to your husband was disgusting!
Great stash, though.
Hope your stitching mojo returns soon!

How rude!
Nice stash though. :)

- Brigitte said...
Great new stash, Rowyn. Particularly the stag chart. But I can understand that you would have liked to keep your money after the shop ladiied being so rude towards your husband. What a respectless behaviour.
- 7:12 pm
- Kath said...
Hi Rowyn, LOL, can think of onlyone place you would have been to have a comment like that! Such a shame. Glad you had a nice time in the HB though, and yes, the weather was fabulous!
Nice stash!
- 8:56 pm
- Suzanne said...
How rude! I guess the ladies were just jealous that you have such a great DH.
I love the stash you picked up.
- 10:39 am
- Siobhan said...
Nice new stash! I'm sorry to hear about the rude shopkeeper. It amazes me when shops that have such a specialized product are rude to potential customers. Thankfully that hasn't happened to DH, but I remember shopping in places (quilt & LNSs) that would follow me around if I had my kids with me (who were trained not to touch stuff) or made rude comments about the owners of my favorite LNS. It was the last time I went into both shops, which have since closed down. A little customer service goes a long way.
That's neat about the Maori town name! I thought the Welsh town that has a long name was the longest... you learn something new every day! ;)
I hope your mojo has returned. Fingers crossed for you!

not very custumor friendly indeed !
it is so ( not ) funny how so many people forget to switch on their brain in the morning.
I am quite interested though what yout husband said as a responce.......
- 7:07 am
- Kathy A. said...
Oh how fun - I would love to hear your pronounce that one!!
Sorry that your DH was treated so shabbily. It just cost them a customer!
- 4:10 am
- Pumpkin said...
Are you serious? If I had known, I would have walked out too! One NS that I loved and is now closed used to bring out a chair for DH. He was spoiled there ;o)
Omigosh! You can actually pronounce it?

Veteran actresses Glenn Close and Barbra Streisand are battling it out to land the lead role in the Sunset Boulevard remake, according to composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The theatre impresario – who wrote the music for his stage adaptation of the 1950 movie classic – has unveiled Close and Streisand as the front-runners to portray diva Norma Desmond, insisting they're both desperate to win the part.
However, Lloyd Webber admits he'll have little influence over the outcome of the contest.
He told WENN: "The remake of Sunset Boulevard is not really under my control. It's really controlled by Paramount, because they own the original movie. I am just waiting to hear what Paramount in the end want to do about it. It is absolutely true that both Glenn Close and Barbra Streisand very much want to play the part. But I'm slightly with my hands tied behind my back about it."
Previous reports suggested Meryl Streep and Dame Elizabeth Taylor were also in the race to play Nora Desmond.

Whenever we need to fight for something, which can take us towards the court the very first thing or the person that we can look for is the lawyer as he is the only one which can be reliable at that very moment. We need different lawyers for different cases such as divorce lawyer for getting divorced, defense lawyer for criminal cases and many others.
We know that they are the only one which can help at that moment and can take us away from this very condition, you can know more about their services at http://www.attorneybryancook.com/. So, while looking for the attorney if you are absolute to hire a protector, make sure that you hire the correct one. First thing to determine is that if you need a national or central attorney.
This only depends on what type of offense you've been accused. If you've been accused with defiance a law of the state, then you will need a protection lawyer that performs state law. Central cases involve central law, such as bankruptcy cases, charter cases, and manifest cases.
Being accused with flouting a central law generally requires the facilities of a more progressive defense attorney. Keeping this in mind it is important to take care of each and everything and thus get the lawyer you are looking for.

On Design: Landscape Preservation
New York
C ity Hall steps aren't the only disputed area in downtown Manhattan. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani irked nearly everybody in town by closing that traditional venue for protest gatherings to the general public. But his $30 million remake of City Hall Park is also causing sparks to fly in the landscape preservation community.

The Knowledge Based Economy Project has received a new certification of Good Practice at the 2011 "European Public Sector Awards" (EPSA) within the European Institution of Public Administration.
The Best Practice Certificate has been received upon three evaluation steps made by an experienced jury, comprising a shortlist of 58 nominees from a total of 274 projects from 33 participating countries. The Ministry of Communications and Information Society, through the Project Management Unit, competed in the EPSA 2011 Awards at the "Smart Public Service in a Cold Economic Climate"category. This Best Practice distinction rewards and certify the outstanding results that KEP Project has had until now.
The Project Management Unit, within the Ministry of Communications and Information Society, has been named a Laureate in the 2011 ComputerWorld Honors Program.
The "Knowledge based Economy Project" joins 254 others from 23 countries as Laureates in this year's program, from more than 1000 applicants world wide.
The Awards Ceremony will be held in June, 20th 2011, in Washington D.C., USA.
1st Prize at the National Competition of Best Practices in Public Administration, , for "Improving public services through quality management and organizational performance" category, organized by the National Agency of Public Servants in 2010.
Knowledge based Economy Project is considered to be an example of good practice in Romania's public administration due to its remarkable results, its proven efficiency and its disseminated practices.
Finalist, at the International Project Excellence Awards 2010, in "Project Excellence in Medium-Sized Projects" category, organized by the International Project Management Association (IPMA).
The solid implementation and success of the IT&C Training Program in school and business and the eCommunity.ro Portal, both part of the KEP Project, have impressed the IPMA jury (Project Management International Association), who recommends them as one of the most important achievements in project management.
Medal at the e-Inclusion Competitionorganized by the European Commission, at the section "Geographic Inclusion" section, Vienna, 2008. The Knowledge based Economy Project is considered an example of good practice for effective use of IT&C and digital technology to tackle social disadvantage and digital exclusion.
Knowledge Based Economy was considered to be the "Project with the best informational content" at the Romanian IT&C Awards – Bucharest, 2006, for contributing to the extensive process of expanding access to information technologies and modern communications to rural communities.
The competition was among the most interesting projects finalised by public libraries in the last six years. 30 public libraries registered, be them county, municipal, city and communal libraries throughout the country, the total value of the prizes amounting to 10,000 USD.
The ATES project was implemented by the Tulgheș Communal Library in partnership with the Sângeorgiu de Pădure City Library and the library of the Secondary School in Tulgheș, as part of the eCULTURA competition.
The main goal of the project was to preserve and promote local culinary traditions in education, in order to improve public health, to bring diversity and inter-cultural values, by effective use of technology.
"During the conference, I had the honour to be rewarded for the eCULTURA project ATES, developed in 2012 as part of the Knowledge-Based Economy Project (KEP). The project was a success, and the prize I received was an Oscar for me, now, before retirement. The eCULTURA project ATES 2012 was possible thanks to the excellent collaboration between the school and libraries, and thanks to the modern IT&C equipment offered by Biblionet and KEP", librarian Maria-Otilia Bârsan says.
The prize money will go to the library in Tulgheș, alongside to book of good practice examples created based on projects which entered the competition.
"Activities of the ATES project were many and interesting, combining tradition with modern technology, healthy and balance diets with an active lifestyle involving sports, farming work and nature hikes. After the project launch, on June 1st, a project visit took place. 20 pupils, teachers and the librarian in Sângeorgiu came to Tulgheș to meet us and participate in a cooking competition with traditional products in the two communities. Six crews competed in preparing tasty food in open-fire kettles. Sports and fun activities opened up their appetite. We showcased salads made out of fresh vegetables, lamb or rabbit stew, polenta with various types of cheese, several types of goulash and pancakes for dessert", the librarian says.
"The principals of the schools in Tulgheș and Sângeorgiu, teachers and PAPI representatives had a special contribution in organising this meeting, alongside the Tulgheș City Hall and the three librarians involved. We also collected old photos and traditional recipes, filmed videos with senior citizens to learn the secrets of longevity, took part in public health lessons, designed the healthy eating pyramid, prepared a traditional snack, organised exhibitions with books and hand-made products, visited Sângeorgiu and, took computer classes and, in the end, we created a common culinary calendar of the two communities", Bârsan concludes.
The project took place from May to September 2012 and received 16,000 Lei worth of non-reimbursable funds through KEP, with 3% contribution from the Tulgheș Local Council.

- Boil the eggs. Shell the eggs and separate the whites from the yolk. Chop both the whites and yolks finely with a fork, keeping them separate. Set aside.
- Rinse the hearts of palm in cold water and drain. Cut the hearts of palm in half lengthwise, if desired. Place the hearts in the dressing and toss to coat. Let marinate 10-15 minutes.
- In a saute pan, heat up about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the shrimp for 5 minutes on both sides, until lightly browned. Drain on paper towel.
- Arrange one large loose leaf on each individual salad plate. With slotted spoon, divide up the hearts of palm onto each plate. Add the parsley and shrimp to the prepared dressing in the bowl and mix.

Give Yourself an A for 2016
Here is an exercise I do every year. I have attached the reasons I earned my A in 2016, and I would love to see yours. At the end of the year, I do a review of my A. My review of 2015 is on my blog at my website: http://www.winharper.com.
Exercise: Give Yourself An A
I want you to think about 2016 and what you want to do and achieve. Now, I want you to give yourself an A for the whole year. The A is based upon your effort and your accomplishments. Now I ask that you write me a letter telling me why you deserved an A. I want the letter to start with "Dear Win, I earned my A because…" and then describe in as much detail as possible, how you came to achieve this extraordinary grade.
Now go to this time next year, and look back, and write about all the insights you acquired, milestones you attained during the year as if these accomplishments were already in the past. Everything must be written in the past tense. Phrases such as, "I hope," "I intend," or "I will" must not appear. If you wish you may mention specific goals you reached, but I am more interested in the person you will have become by January 2017. I am interested in the attitude, feelings, and worldview of the person who will have done all he wished to do or become everything he wanted to be. And I want you to fall passionately in love with the person you are describing in the letter.
Remember, it isn't about reaching your goals…it's about who you become as you try. Who do you want to be in 2016?
From: "The Art of Possibility", by Ben Zander
I earned my A in 2016
Dear Win, I earned my "A" in 2016 because I continued to learn and grow through my contributions, practice, and study.
I began my year by uncluttering my life. I took two days to go through my "stuff" and discarded or donated that which I no longer wanted in my life. I immediately felt lighter and freer.
I took a creative non-fiction writing class at the local community college, and participated in many teleseminars on the National Association of Memoir Writers.
After recovering from my shoulder replacement surgery I started working out on a regular basis, and got my weight down to 170. In June I ran 2 miles in 22 minutes. I played a lot of golf during the summer and my handicap was 15. My golf partner and I won our league championship.
I became a singer. The exercises I did for my shoulder loosened my neck and freed my voice. I sang at local Open Mikes and at an Omega Talent Show. I recorded two songs – a Christmas song and a country and western one – for my friends and family.
My coaching practice grew and I taught at Omega.
This was my last year as President of the Middlesex Heritage Group, and I was able to get a couple of grants for the organization. We rewrote our constitution and by-laws, and we got our citizen oral history program moving. I also established a Hometown Heroes Program to recognize local active duty military men and women.
2016 was another great year. I was open to opportunity and received many blessings along my journey. I learned more about me, and my place in the universe. I planted shade trees under which I know I will not sit.

New London County 4-H Fair/Expo
July 27-29, 2018
North Stonington Fairgrounds
Wyassup Road, N. Stonington, CT
The NLC 4-H Fair/Expo is open to the public.
Click here for the New London County 4-H Fairbook 2018
All 4-H'ers in New London County are welcome at the Fair! It doesn't matter if you are in a community-based club, an afterschool program, or a science program. In addition to the animal shows throughout the weekend, 4-H'ers can enter posters, art, flowers and vegetables, baked goods, photography- check out all the stuff you can enter in the Fairbook below.
Did you know you can enter your pet in the Fair too? Even if your pet is a lizard or goldfish or cat! And the Pet Show is 'open,' which means you can have a friend enter the show with you, even if they aren't in 4-H. Click here for the entry form.
The Robotics Challenge, Sunday at 1:00, is open to all 4-H'ers. Get the flyer and entry form here. For just the entry form, click here.
Other Open Shows include the Horse, Oxen, & Pony Pulls and the Dog Show.
It is MANDATORY for 4-H'ers exhibiting in the Fair to have their record book with them at the time of check-in.
The 4-H'er needs to have a 4-H Activity Record (either the regular or Alternative records are fine) filled out to the month of June, and at least one 4-H Project Record in a registered project area. It is not necessary for the 4-H'er to have a project record for each animal/item entered in the Fair.
The Activity Record should show (at minimum) goals, rudimentary activities up to June, My 4-H Story, and signatures. The Project Record should have the goals, activities, and project description/ identification pages filled in.
The Record book presented by the 4-H'er for check-in will not be judged. The Record book can be filled out via computer, pen, pencil, or crayon, although legible is preferred! It would be great for all the 4-H'ers to enter their Record book for judging, but it is not necessary.
Please be aware that in order for a 4-H'er to show in Horse or Dairy at the Big E, it must be their project and appropriate project records kept.
Record keeping is a large part of the 4-H program, and the skills the youth learn will serve them well in adulthood.
Examples of the minimum requirements for an acceptable recordbook are here for Activity Record and here for Project Record
CT 4-H Explorers (ages 5-7) have their own activities for participating their local 4-H Fairs. Click HERE for the activity sheets and opportunities to participate in the weekend.
This year's Challenge Grow is Marigolds.
The Scarecrow Contest theme is Fairy Tales.
The 4-H Horse Exhibit is on Saturday, with demonstrations and educational activities offered by 4-H members, and a Model Horse Show in the Exhibit Hall. For information on what a Model Horse Show is, click HERE.

Why CRC? We have a great relationship with all of our sales reps, specifically Adidas and Kyle Donovan.
Favorite place to run in Ohio? I've lived in Bexley and Westerville, and both have a lot to offer as far as trails and nice neighborhood streets.
Favorite shoe and why? I love the Supernova from Adidas and the Hoka Clifton. In general, I'm all about the high-cushioned shoes. I will say, I think the Ultra Boost (also from Adidas) would be my all-time favorite, but I haven't gotten a pair to test out yet.
Fun fact? I coach cross country and track at Otterbein, and I also play for the best beer league ice hockey team that you've never heard of—The Firedogs. Follow us on Twitter @FiredogsHockey. You won't be disappointed.
Favorite post-run treat? Gatorade brotein shakes or a glass of chocolate milk. Also, banana pudding from City Barbeque is tough to beat.

The Football Association has written to national newspaper editors urging them to respect the privacy of new England manager Fabio Capello.
It has particularly asked that the media does not report on his wife and other family members, the Guardian's Media Monkey reports today.
The Guardian media diary also claims that Channel 4 News anchor Jon Snow has fired off a missive to colleagues warning that technical problems mean "We are regularly missing major stories." He cites broken TVs, no radio reception and "unacceptably poor" wire services as problems.

Ben Tofflemire
Graduate Student
Office: 6511C Sterling Hall
Research Interests:
I study the formation and early evolution of binary stars. Specifically, I carry out long-term observational monitoring campaigns to characterize how young binary star systems interact with the surrounding protoplanetary material left over from star formation. I am generally interested in the formation and evolution of binary stars, the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks, accretion diagnostics, signatures of magnetic reconnection, and time-domain astrophysics.
I am a PhD candidate looking forward to defending my thesis in the spring of 2018!
During my time here I have studied recurrent novae, open star clusters, and I am now finishing my thesis on characterizing the interaction between young binary stars and their protoplanetary disks. Binary stars, two gravitationally bound stars orbiting a common center-of-mass, are a common outcome of star formation, yet their formation remains poorly understood.
My thesis focuses on the "pre-main sequence" phase of star formation where the evolution of stars and the formation of planets is governed by the interplay between the star and it's protoplanetary disk. The star-disk interaction has been...read more

One of the first blog's I wrote was on being Grateful, to put yourself in an attitude of gratitude will change your life. Since this is my last blog before Thanksgiving I thought I would revisit that blog.
Start today by creating a daily practice of writing down things to be grateful for. This practice will shift your thoughts from the negative things in your life to a more positive outlook. I have also discovered that the feelings that are attached to the things you are grateful for will continue to show up in your life creating a more joyful life going forward.
I challenge you at this special time of the year to begin this practice & to write down daily at least 5 things that you are grateful for. Feel the feelings of each of these things & remember those feelings as you write down each item. These feelings of gratitude will create a change in your environment. I look at it like a stone thrown into a pond each grateful thought creates ripples that spread out throughout the universe creating good thoughts of gratitude throughout the universe.
Everything begins from within & radiates out to the universe in return the God/universe returns the feelings to you over & over again. So if you're grateful for the great day you had yesterday, God/universe will send back to you more great days. The important thing is to begin the process & stick to it. It can be done fairly quickly & the change in your life will be incredible.
Heidi & I are going to one of our favorite places for Thanksgiving. The Smokey Mountains, I will try to write a blog on Friday but until then I'm not sure about internet access. I hope you all have a special day with family & friends. It's doubly special for me as Thanksgiving this year is also my birthday we are grateful to my Mom & Heidi's parents for giving us the money for our birthdays so we could go on this trip.
Quote of the day: "Give thanks for the great things in your life. This state of gratitude will bring you more joy everyday."
My next video blog is now available on Youtube. The subject of this blog is "Forgiveness". Take a look: http://bit.ly/32ZLSU

A new era for human diplomat Bren Cameron, as he navigates the tenuous peace between human refugees and the alien atevi.
Alpha Station, orbiting the world of the alien atevi, has taken aboard five thousand human refugees from a destroyed station in a distant sector of space.
With supplies and housing stretched to the breaking point, it is clear that the refugees must be relocated down to the planet, and soon. But not to the atevi mainland: rather to the territory reserved for humans, the island of Mospheira.
Tabini-aiji, the powerful political head of the atevi, tasks his brilliant human diplomat, Bren Cameron, to negotiate with the Mospheiran government. For the Alpha Station refugees represent a political faction that the people of Mospheira broke from two centuries ago, and these Mospheirans are not enthusiastic about welcoming these immigrants from space.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the current world order at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club. During his speech, Putin spoke out in condemnation of the United States, and its relations with the rest of the world, and he proposed the need for a new system.
Putin prefaced his message by saying that although he may seem "a bit too harsh,†he felt it was necessary to speak directly and honestly.
"We need to be direct and blunt today not so as to trade barbs, but so as to attempt to get to the bottom of what is actually happening in the world,†said Putin, who went on to say that they must be direct in order to "try to understand why the world is becoming less safe and more unpredictable.â€
"As we analyze today's situation, let us not forget history's lessons.â€
Addressing the current state of international relations, Putin said that what the world needed to do was to "carry out a rational reconstruction and adapt it to the new realities in the system of international relations.â€
Putin used the analogy of the Cold War, saying that the United States, who "declared itself the winner,†saw no need for adapting to a new system.
"Instead of establishing a new balance of power, essential for maintaining order and stability, they took steps that threw the system into sharp and deep imbalance,†Putin said.
"We have entered a period of differing interpretations and deliberate silences in world politics,†said Putin. He defined the current time as one where "objectivity and justice have been sacrificed on the altar of political expediency,†and where "arbitrary interpretations and biased assessments have replaced legal norms.â€
"Total control of the global mass media has made it possible when desired to portray white as black and black as white.â€
Putin described the situation where, when one country had domination over all others, "the search for global solutions often turned into an attempt to impose their own universal recipes.â€
"The measures taken against those who refuse to submit are well-known and have been tried and tested many times,†said Putin. "They include use of force, economic and propaganda pressure, meddling in domestic affairs, and appeals to a kind of 'supra-legal' legitimacy when they need to justify illegal intervention in this or that conflict or in toppling inconvenient regimes.â€
Putin then addressed the current state of the United States' use of surveillance, saying that it was evidence that "outright blackmail has been used with regard to a number of leaders.â€
"It is not for nothing that 'big brother' is spending billions of dollars on keeping the whole world, including its own closest allies, under surveillance.â€
Putin explored the idea that "the United States' exceptional position and the way they are carrying out their leadership really is a blessing for us all,†and that their "meddling in events all around the world is bringing peace, prosperity, progress, growth and democracy,â€Â and that maybe the rest of the world should "relax and enjoy it all.†He then determined, "this is not the case, absolutely not the case.â€
Putin pointed out that rather than helping other countries, "imposing one's own models produces the opposite result.†He said that this was evidenced by the fact that "instead of democracy there is support for a very dubious public ranging from open neo-fascists to Islamic radicals.â€
Commenting on the fact that he never ceases to be amazed by the way other countries continue to make the same mistakes over and over, Putin used the example of the Islamic extremist groups, which were sponsored by the West to fight the Soviet Union, and then went on to become the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
"The West if not supported, at least closed its eyes, and, I would say, gave information, political and financial support to international terrorists' invasion of Russia,†said Putin. "Only after horrific terrorist attacks were committed on U.S. soil itself did the United States wake up to the common threat of terrorism.â€
Putin then addressed the current events in Syria, pointing out the fact that the United States and its allies were responsible for "directly financing and arming rebels.â€
Raising the question of how rebels received money, arms, and military specialists, which led to the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as an armed force, Putin brought up Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, which was "left in ruins†by the United States, and which had driven many people "out into the street.â€
"What was the result? Tens of thousands of soldiers, officers and former Baath Party activists were turned out into the streets and today have joined the rebels' ranks,†said Putin, who suggested that this might explain why the Islamic State group "has turned out so effective.â€
"Russia warned repeatedly about the dangers of unilateral military actions, intervening in sovereign states' affairs, and flirting with extremists and radicals,†Putin said.
Putin stated that he closely follows the discussions by "both the ruling elite and the expert community,†and that some of the largest problems with the United States can be demonstrated by the headlines found in its' media over the last year.
"The same people are called fighters for democracy, and then Islamists,†said Putin. "First they write about revolutions and then call them riots and upheavals. The result is obvious: the further expansion of global chaos.â€
Putin concluded that given the global situation, "it is time to start agreeing on fundamental things.â€
"The logical way out is in cooperation between nations, societies, in finding collective answers to increasing challenges, and in joint risk management,â€Â said Putin. "Granted, some of our partners, for some reason, remember this only when it suits their interests.â€


text: Nice balance between minimalism and dense design. There's a nice amount of whitespace with pockets of packed-in information. Like the subpages where there are the red circular icons for the different sections. Nice basic grid layout under the whole thing makes for a nice design IMHO. Also it's a nicely achieved adaptive type design that works well on iPhone screen size.

Two summers ago we took the most amazing vacation to the Florida Keys. We rented a gorgeous beach house (literally, we opened the back door and sand was at our feet!) and it was then that my husband began growing out his beard. At first I thought it was just an accessory to go along with the sun and fruity adult beverages, but no. The facial hair followed us back home, and lasted way longer than I ever imagined!
The beard got BIG, and took on a life of it's own (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little…) Beard oils and balms, and grooming products galore inhabited my bathroom, as did the beard trimmings (eek!) Then, one day he shaved it ALL off in April of the following year, and my younger son didn't recognize him. He started crying, and was frightened by my husband's bare face. So, back came the beard…and this time it seems to be staying for good.
To be honest, not only has the beard grown on my husband, but it has kind of grown on me, too. (Thankfully, not in the physical sense!) Now, I actually prefer the look of my husband's face with a masculine blanket of facial hair. The presence of the beard comes with one rule: It Must Be Groomed!
My husband keeps his beard looking amazing with the Remington Beard Boss. The Beard Boss is the perfect tool for my husband to look sharp and have clean cut facial hair. The Perfecter: Beard Boss Stubble and Detail Kit is available at Walmart and on Walmart.com.
How to Help Your Man Look Like a Beard Boss
The Remington Beard Boss has become my husband's best friend. This thing is awesome and keeps him looking like a Beard Boss at all times. No unruly beard hairs to see here, folks. With it's powerhouse lithium battery it gives you 5 hours of cordless runtime, for months of trimming between charges. Pretty amazing, huh?! It's also 100% waterproof – easy to clean and use a wet or dry with non-slip grip. Perfect for my bleary-eyed husband who wakes up at 5am to get ready for work!
Speaking of work, my husband's profession requires him to speak in front of large groups of people daily. So he has to look good. His beard stays in tip-top shape with the help of the Precision Metal Comb on the Beard Boss. The adjustable metal comb locks in the exact length for a perfectly groomed beard, plus it also comes with five additional snap on combs!
This is a perfect gift for the bearded man in your life!

The micro revolution is here and it's awesome!
The Atto 136-S is a 'stretched -X' 3″ frame designed around the new wave of micro components for a super light and strong racing build that is perfect for the track.
The stretched X design is favoured by many top pilots for several reasons. It offers super agile cornering and stable pitch control at high speeds as well as providing a clean air flow for the rear props. It's perfect for high speed tracks and the with the right build can easily rival 4 and 5″ quads for speed whilst out corning them too.
Like all Atto frames the 136-S comes with Titanium frame bolts, colour matched alloy prop nuts, XT battery connector and carbon prop spanner.
The 136-S is was developed specifically for the brand new BrainFPV 20mm flight controller and the Runcam swift mini CCD camera although any 20x20mm FC stack will fit with space for up to 4 boards (2x 2in1 ESC, FC and VTX). The smaller components allow a thinner frame and lower standoffs to be used, reducing drag and weight whilst increasing strength.
The 136-S accepts any motors from 1103 to 1707. We recommend a 1407 motor paired with 20A ESCS. Most small ESCS will fit on the the arms if required. There is no SMA mounting option as the frame is intended to be used with a dipole or whip antenna. See the 136-S build log for details.
136-S kit includes:
- 3mm 136-S base plate
- 3mm Swift top plate
- Alloy standoff kit
- Titanium M3 bolts
- Alloy M5 motor nuts
- XT-30 connector
- M5 Spanner / keyring
Bare frame weight with 3mm Swift plate plus alloy FC mounting hardware – 40g
Build shown with T1 1407 motors, Swift mini, Piko FC, Innova VTX and Maverick 24A ESCS – 162g

On the Run from Global Warming
Center for American Progress – March 1, 2007
This is an interesting article that states that there are currently 25-50 MILLION climate refugees. This is an amazing statement. Evidently the UN does not recognize refugees for climatic reasons and so this count is not accurate. In fact, it is not clear how this count is arrived at. It does appear that the count includes anyone that has been affected by flooding or desertification so the claim (while possibly true) is likely exaggerated since surely not all of these people are casualties of global warming. It does state that 60 million people live at less than 3 feet about seal level, which would mean that these people would have to evacuate if the oceans rise a considerable amount. Since the article is quite political in nature, I will also file this in the Politics category.
Center for American Progress Research Associate Teresita Perez reported on this issue in December, and argued that in order to tackle this issue that United Nations and governments worldwide must grant formal refugee status to environmental refugees.
…define a new category of �environmental refugee� in order to better document the number of people who are being forced from their homes and better anticipate the support that they will need.
…climate change disasters are currently a bigger cause of population displacement than war and persecution. And the numbers will only intensify as global warming increases.
The predicted rise in sea level could displace all 60 million of these people, as well as the 215 million more people who live within 15 feet of sea level.
The United States, as the largest contributor to global warming�accounting for 25 percent of the world�s carbon pollution�has a moral responsibility to lead the global effort to curb this phenomenon.
But we must also prepare ourselves for the effects to the environment and population if climate change continues to go unchecked. Inaction is an option we can no longer afford.

Introducing the New ANA Communication BoardNew tablet device handles 17 languages for smoother communications with global customers and more flexible interaction with customers with special needs
TOKYO, May 25, 2016 - ANA, Japan's largest airline, will introduce a new, specially-developed tablet device on June 1 called the ANA Communication Board. With speech and pictogram functionality, this new tool will support smoother communications at the airport and in-flight with passengers of multiple nationalities, as well as with those who require special attention. ANA also plans to use the devices to provide pertinent information when irregularities occur. As a global leading airline, ANA always strives to enhance convenience for customers and strengthen its international competitiveness, for example, by expanding its international network against the backdrop of rising demand for visits to Japan. Adding more international destinations means a greater need for clear communications at the airport and in-flight with customers from around the world. At its launch in June, the ANA Communication Board will be capable of supporting communications in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. In September, we plan to add an additional 13 languages, including Thai, Malay, Hindu, German, French, Spanish, for a total of 17 languages. The software will also include terms to facilitate initial medical response in the event a passenger suddenly becomes ill or injured in-flight. Furthermore, the ANA Communication Board will improve interactions with customers who are hearing or speech-impaired. Until now, ANA has been using paper and pens to communicate with these passengers. By switching to a tablet solution including pictograms, our staff will be able to communicate more readily in a larger number of situations and respond to a wider range of customer needs.
Contact: Wataru Yoshioka and Maho Ito, ANA Corporate Communications, TEL +81-3-6735-1111
About ANA ANA is the largest airline in Japan by revenues and passenger numbers. Founded in 1952, ANA flies today on 83 international routes and 116 domestic routes. The ANA group has 35,000 employees and a fleet of about 250 aircraft. In FY2015, it carried 50.8 million passengers and generated revenues of 1.79 trillion Japanese yen. ANA has been a member of Star Alliance since 1999, and has joint-ventures with United Airlines on trans-Pacific and Asia routes, and with Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines and Austrian Airlines on Japan-Europe routes. Its Frequent Flyer Program, ANA Mileage Club, has more than 26 million members. ANA was voted Airline of the Year for 2013 by Air Transport World Magazine, and in 2016 was awarded five stars for the fourth consecutive year by the world's leading Airline and Airport review site, SKYTRAX.
