Running on Saturday
Celebrating Our Forgetfulness....uh, Independence
|Posted on July 8, 2015 at 11:45 AM
This Saturday just happen to also be Independence Day. What a wonderful way to celebrate our freedom by starting off with a 5K run.
The weekend actually started a day early, since most of us had Friday off from our "real jobs." Anita and I headed to the city to get a little culture in our lives by going to see "Dirty Dancing" as it was part of the Dallas Summer Musicals series. This was my second trip to see a show in Dallas and it was Anita's first, though we have both been other places to see shows in the past. I think Anita and I may have found us a new hobby that doesn't involve running! We also attended the show "The Foreigner' at the Hamilton Civic Theater in June, and we already have our sights set on a few other productions in the next year.
After the show, Anita and I made our way back to Gustine, stopping in what seemed like every town in between, picking up plumbing supplies for the hubby. If I could have remembered it all on the first stop, then it would have gone much quicker. This is where my weekend of forgetfulness all started!
First, we stopped in Cleburne to get the new bathroom faucet at Home Depot. I get in the car and start back down the highway and realize I forgot the "plumber's wrench." As we get to Glen Rose, the only hardware store is closed. So, we back track to Granbury where once again, I enter Home Depot to find the plumber's wrench aka Basin Wrench. Now, we are on the road again and Randall calls to ask where we are and to remind me to pick up the most important supply of all…beer. Yep, I had forgotten it, too! So, once again, we stop in Dublin and then we finally head home. Randall rewarded us with grilled pork chops for dinner and we enjoyed a nice evening sitting outside lecturing our youngest son on all the reasons he should not want to own a motorcycle!!
4:30 am Saturday rolls around and we head out to Granbury, as you can see, I am pretty forgetful sometimes. We picked up some members of the Race Day crew along the way and decided to make a pit stop in Stephenville. As we got almost out of town, I realized that I should have filled up with gas. Yes, we stop one more time to get gas. (As you are about to find out, thank goodness we did!)
We roll on up to Tidwell Field in Granbury around 6:30 am and go to work. Anita and I head in to get registration set up while the guys start unpacking the trailer and setting up the start/finish line. Anita immediately opens the box to get the timing chips and looks at my wide-eyed, "Kate, where are the chips?"
As soon as she said it I knew what I had done. I forgot to pack the chips the night before!!! Oh this is very bad, very, very bad. We can't time a run without timing chips! We had used disposable bibs the weekend before and I just completely forgot to place them back in the box when I packed everything.
I immediately started dialing Randall at home and sent the guys to unhook the trailer. One of us had to high-tail in back to Stephenville and meet someone half way to get the chips. I got Randall awake and on the move, (yes, he was super proud of me) and Jeff met him on the south side of Stephenville. As I was pacing back and forth with a smile on my face telling the runners we would have chips soon, on the inside my heart was racing and I was scared to death something was going to happen. Cue...thank goodness we stopped for gas!
Jeff arrived with the chips about 7:30 am and we had them put on all the runners and back on schedule by 7:40! Man, I love having a great crew that helps me get things done. I bet they remind to get the chips from now until eternity!!!
We have been through many ups and downs in our 5 years of timing races together. I have only forgotten the chips one other time, but we were only 20 miles away from home that day. (Knock on wood) We have been lucky not to have forgotten many things before, but I can't say that we haven't had other troubles along the way, including running out of gas!!!
At the end of the day, we got the job done. We put another race in the books, we enjoyed each other's company with lunch at Chilies and then spent our evening at a friends pool party. This weekend we celebrated our independence, the freedoms that we have, and worked our way through forgetfulness while running on Saturday.

Global Diversity as a Recipe For Success
By Dr. Hamed Faridi
As a naturalized Iranian-American and a scientist, I feel extremely fortunate to call America, today's great beacon of science and culture, my home. I came to the United States in 1971 to attend graduate school. I received my Ph.D. in 1975 and went back to Iran eager to serve my country in the field of food science and nutrition. But all of my efforts to advance this research came to a halt due to the political turmoil that engulfed the country. Married only two months, my wife and I left Iran for good in July 1979.
Because of my experience as a newcomer to the U.S., I know that diversity and inclusion are not just corporate phrases, but values that must be integrated into the daily life of an organization. McCormick & Company has 10,000 employees in 25 countries, and this global perspective drives the best ideas, insights, and solutions to meet changing needs.
Diversity is the norm in food culture where consumers are drawn to uniqueness over traditional offerings. It is also a necessary competitive advantage in a global market that is continuously shifting in demographics, household composition, eating behaviors, and the impact of global flavors around the world.
One of our most significant and popular initiatives is our annual Flavor Forecast, which identifies emerging culinary trends — in 2010, for instance, we predicted the coming popularity of pumpkin spice. To develop each Flavor Forecast, we gather a passionate group of chefs, expert culinary professionals, sensory scientists, dietitians, trend trackers, marketing experts, and food technologists from across the world. They spend a year following their culinary instincts wherever they lead, researching, and painstakingly pooling insights. This year's Forecast includes flavors hailing from Peru, Malaysia and the Philippines, among other places.
Global talent and diversity are the catalysts for our innovation, and we strive to take a broad view on talent acquisition and to create an inclusive environment where all employees have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Among our efforts:
- We created our initial Diversity Council in 1995, a grassroots team that was very passionate about diversity and worked to create awareness and education within the organization. We evolved this approach in 2009, dedicating a full-time position and creating an Executive Global Diversity & Inclusion Steering Team which sets strategy and direction in growing our global footprint and competing for the best talent.
- We focus on making sure we are not siloed in our thinking with hiring and selection. One strategy we have put into place is the creation of our Global Mobility group, which looks more broadly at opportunities to be more agile and flexible in integrating talent around the world. Key initiatives include expanding global assignments, international transfers, and global short term business experiences.
I am very proud of my Iranian heritage, and aspire to live up to the high standards of thousands of years of Persian culture and to preserve and celebrate it in my home, community, and in my professional life. Shortly after arriving in the U.S. in 1979, I joined the food science faculty at Washington State University. A couple of months later, American diplomats in Tehran were taken hostage, which made things difficult for us as new immigrants. Although the university administration did so much to help us, an organization such as Upwardly Global could have made our integration journey much easier. I greatly appreciate the efforts of UpGlo and similar organizations in helping a new generation of immigrants to fulfill their dreams and aspirations in their adopted country.
Dr. Hamed Faridi is the Chief Science Officer of McCormick & Company, Inc.
McCormick & Company, Inc. manufactures, markets and distributes spices, seasoning mixes, condiments and other flavorful products to the entire food industry — retail outlets, food manufacturers and food service businesses.

the pump bottle surely made mac prolongwear easy to use
Went out with my friends to watch Harry Potter and it didn't disappoint me unlike the past movies. I' m an HP series fanatic and gave up the idea that the movie will give justice to the book. I was hesitant to watch but gave in since it was majority's choice. Though it was hanging, it sure gave me the same emotions I felt when I was reading the first part of the HP and the Deathly Hallows. Of course, it's not without flaws but the switch from the normal playful/ innocent HP movie we're familiar with to a more dark/horror/mature film was just outstanding! I enjoyed the movie a lot and can't wait for the 2nd part. :D
For the movie night, I used mac pro longwear foundation in nc20. I've been using it couple of times now and it gave a lovely finish. I'm still not sure if it delivers to its promise of longwear, but I love how it goes on my skin before and after hours of use. Will still compare this to mac sff and revlon colorstay as its the best for me in terms of longevity.
freshly done face with mac pro longwear foundation in nc20. slightly matte.
after 6-8 hours without retouch or blot. face is kinda dewy but still looks great in person (much better than in pics).

Switzerland's UBS is adopting an advanced type of digital signature technology, with a range of uses that include the capability to secure high-risk digital payments.
UBS is embedding digital signature technology developed by Cryptomathic and SwissSign into its e-banking system to augment its existing authentication system. UBS is starting with wealth management and e-banking, which usually require customers to sign about a half dozen documents per year, but the bank expects the same technology can improve payment security by serving as an authentication factor.
"We want to remove steps and simplify processes for a number of our activities," said Philipp Kuhn, a project manager at UBS who is helping lead the e-signature initiative.
The underlying technology can be used to support payments use cases by adding an advanced form of digital signatures called XAdES signatures to an XML file that is ISO 20022 compliant, according to Cryptomathic and SwissSign.
There are also use cases for treasury management, invoicing and other processes related to payments."There are a lot of areas where we would need a signature equivalent, such as for fulfillment, where this would help us," Kuhn said.
"An e-signature can be good at establishing non-repudiation," said Matt Landrock, an executive vice president at.Cryptomathic. "We can say for certain that the user intended to make this transaction."
Writing for PaymentsSource, James Gagliardi, a vice president at Digital River, argues digital signatures may be necessary to protect 'Internet of Things' transactions such as using remote buy buttons such as Amazon Dash that order household items such as toilet paper or soap; or to help secure payments for ride-sharing apps, where there is no exchange of a physical card or overt use of a mobile wallet. Gagliardi argues a digital signature can add an extra layer with an extra step, though it's a small one for the consumer.
Naveen Jakhar, a government official in India who helps oversee the country's telecom industry, also argues that e-commerce can benefit from e-signatures, which provide a private key for the signer and a verification algorithm on the receiving end. Jakhar's presentation notes e-signatures are transportable, cannot be imitated and are time-stamped. For e-commerce, a digital signature can verify the payment's sender because the digital signature key is bound to a specific user, according to Jakhar.
In this way, e-signatures can complement the use of EMV cards at the point of sale. EMV is an anti-counterfeiting measure, designed to assure that the person making the transaction is the only one who can use that payment instrument at that time. With e-signatures, "the idea is to emulate what happens on a chip card," Landrock said.
In an oped for PaymentsSource, Guillaume Forget, director of product management for Cryptomathic, wrote the regulatory environment for digital signatures is improving, as new rules allow consumers and businesses to add e-signatures to document images, giving these the same legal status as paper-based documents.
"Electronic signatures, when properly implemented, can be very helpful in combating online payments fraud," said Avivah Litan, a vice president at Gartner, and a security specialist, who notes there is some friction to the strategy.
First, the technology itself is complex. "There's a need to assign keys to senders and receivers, and both senders and receivers need to participate in the application for it to work properly," Litan said.
Also, enrollment can be complicated, according to Litan.
"This is always the weakest link in any online security system," Litan said. "Fraudsters can impersonate others or use stolen identities, at which point it doesn't matter if the payment transaction is carried out securely because at that point a fraudster is receiving the 'secure payment.'"

Results & discussion
Last update: 5 June 2015
Last update: 5 June 2015
The irrigation control in dry season: economic and environmental performances of paddy rice in Northeastern Thailand
CIRAD, the Asian Institute of Technology, Kasetsart University, in partnership with the Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand have compared the advantages of rice production under controlled and uncontrolled irrigation in both environmental and economic terms.
Energy, water, carbon footprint: ways of improving cassava starch productionThe cassava starch industry is booming. However, most producing countries use inefficient techniques, which means excessive energy and water consumption and a significant environmental impact. To minimize that impact, researchers from CIRAD and their partners compared three commonly used processing techniques and came up with efficient, sustainable technical solutions.
Cheese processing could enhance the sustainability of the dairy sector in VietnamVietnam has experienced a fast development of the domestic consumption of dairy products due to rise of incomes and urbanization of lifestyles. In response, the national milk production increased rapidly, but the sustainability of the dairy sector is threatened by a strong dependency to imports of powdered milk.
Socio-economic impact of a dairy development project launched by Danone in west Java (Indonesia)The Dairy Development in Ciater Project (DDCP) was designed by Danone to improve dairy farmers' living standards in Ciater, a rural locality of West Java (Indonesia). The project ran from 2011 to 2014 in its second phase, with the support of the Danone Ecosystem Found. The main activities of the project included trainings, stall renovations and the setting-up of demonstration farms, in order to support farmers to deliver more and better quality milk. The project focused on improving the livelihood of 140 farmers in the Ciater district.
Understanding the role of non-isoprene in the elaboration of Thai rubber qualityUp to now, and even following the official quality specification schemes (national ones such as STR or international such as ISO 2000) it is not possible to predict precisely the manufacturing behavior of natural rubber. For instance, two samples of natural rubber with the same specifications (ISO or TSR standards) can show different mixing behaviors, which can cause some accidents during the processing. As processing lines are more and more automated, this lack of consistency could be less and less tolerated by the manufacturers, who can think about using lower but constant quality synthetic rubber (SR) instead.
Technical improvement of natural rubber processing: maturation time, sensitivity to thermo-oxidization, and storage hardening and environmental issues related to rubber production.Rubber processing companies (Smoked sheet/RSS, block rubber/STR, and concentrated latex) often encounter, lack of control of cup coagula maturation for STR20 production, lack of consistency of produced rubber (e.g. P0, PRI, ASHT), as well as, environmental issues such as energy consumption in NR processes.
In both block rubber and concentrated latex industries, manufacturers have to let the cup lump/latex maturate for a long period if they want to obtain the required quality for further processing. This storage time has a cost. Technical solutions are researched to understand and reduce the duration of this maturation step.
Revisiting fertilisation practices together with tapping intensification on Rubber productionContrary to most other crops, the effects of fertilization on yield are not clear in rubber trees. Results from the literature are inconsistent. A reason to investigate the opportunity to intensified tapping system through fertilization, as compared to non-fertilized trees.

Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33
April 25, 1964 marks a significant date in history. Three scientists at the Bell Labs in New Jersey introduced the first practical way of converting the sun's rays into electrical energy. Sixty years later, solar cells have powered a whole list of items including calculators, cars and even airplanes. In fact, there's a second solar-powered airplane developed to go around the planet, using nothing but the sun's energy with the Solar Impulse 2. Omega Watches is a primary sponsor for the development of that aircraft. Because of the update, the watch company follows suit with the Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. But this watch has loftier goals because it's made for astronauts. The analog/digital watch is powered by a highly-precise quartz movement specially made by ETA for Omega. Housed in super tough titanium, the Skywalker X-33 carries functions that are useful for an astronaut's life in outer space. These include mission elapsed time (MET) and phase elapsed time (PET) displays. There are three alarm modes, three different time zone displays, a chronograph plus a countdown timer as well. The European Space Agency has certified the Skywalker X-33 for use in their space missions and Omega says that NASA will also follow suit. Not all of us will get the chance to visit the final frontier but it's good to know that there's a watch that will be functional in that environment. Plus the name alone, Skywalker X-33, is worthy of the prize of admission. ~$5,555.
We hope you enjoyed this Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 article!

PInk Tulip
There are things I need to do and I would like to do... and balancing these are always more difficult than I expected.
Incapable of dealing with the situations, I usually stressed myself out... and tired.
But today, I had a good relaxed day full of laughter and fun.
Pale blue to purple shades of clematis.
Almost the collection of my favoutie colours.
Tulips and Clematis
It was quite afternoon I had after a long while. Until the last week, there were some visitors almost everyday, which made me really tired.
Unlike the weather today - raning and chilly - warm vitamin colour to cheer you up.
I had lots of difficulties finding suitable colours for this arrangement, and visited many flower shops and gift corners selling flower-arrangements.
After sufficient research, I ended up with this.
Quite happy with the result.
Roese and Tulips
I missed eclips coz I didn't know it was in the early morning, just after I woke up ... had only a feeling with gray-ish light outside.
My experiments with tulips continue.
It's fun to think about something different, and as it brought an unexpected result from the collaboration between silk and iron.
This iron tree is crafted by my friend - blacksmith - and I simply love it.
It's been busy and could not find enough enery to write two blogs a day.
This, howeve, does not mean I wasn't doing anyting.
Here is a new creation of mine.
Using tulips as the main feature formed a comb.
One of my friends makes wonderful bouquets with tsumami craft, and her resent work was that of tulips!
So with her permission, I tried tulip motif.
I quite like tulips in real, and of tsumami.
Cherry Blossoms and Dogwoods
Another dogwood motif.
I am happy to see how this kanzashi came out - both colour and structure wise.
Flowers are cascading down and create a movement on your hair.
If you arrange this kanzashi at the right-hand side, then flowers will clime up your hair.
That's also lovely to see.
Depanding on which side you arrange this kanzashi, there are at least two different impression it can give.
The colour variation from white, pink to purple may bring a light feeling of early summer.
Crimson flowers
Lovely blue sky, at last!
I found violet clematis floweing in my garden.
Clematis is one of my favourite flowers.
Happy to see it coming!
Summer is nearly there - that's the feeling I have whenever I see clematis.
Clematis motif 2012 version.
Last year's design had three flowers. That was good as it was.
So this summer, there will be two types of clematis: this one and three flower version.
I thought today gonna be better weather...
and did my washing!!
Anyway, happened to heared lots about the exchange of cherry trees and dogwoods beteen Japan and the US.
In Tokyo, there are lots of dogwoods planted by the road.
I love their pretty flowers, but didn't know the name of them for a while.
Originally intended to arrange only dogwood petals, but reconsidered to add cherry blossoms. It may be a good symbole for 100 year anniversary for the "friendship" between Japan and the US.
Pinky Plum
"Raining dog and cat" ... or was it "dogs and cats"?
Either way, last night's rainfall was very heavy and noisy!
Plants seem to be happy with plenty of water falling from the sky, but humans aren't that much.
This is a comb with three pink plum petals.
As a colour wise, it might be too warm for early summer, but glittering swarovski may contribute to give clear and fresh impression on your hair.
Purple Drops
Leaving my duties behind, my mind can fly and seek more interesting things to create and enjoy searching rough designs for it.
Hope these ideas can be realised as I intended... but suppose, I have to go through usual process of trials and errors.
Here is a pair of earrings with purple drops.
These are charming and cheerful, but stilll, grown-up-ish due to the chic purple petals.
Blue Cufflinks
The first day of my week-long-holiday.
Such a relief to be at home and do what I want to do, rather than what I need to do.
From tomorrow, I shall engage myself to various tasks - gonna be busy.
Cufflinks with small blue flowers.
As my friend rightly pointed out, the box took more efforts than cufflinks....
This box is wrapped with Liberty print at the bottom, and pretty stripe with green-lace as an accent on the top.

Welcome back to the Wall of Femmes - after a period of some quiet on our forum here (not to be mistaken with inactivity), we'll be picking up right where we left off.
One of our goals with this project is to acknowledge, highlight, disseminate, share, support, and give mad respect to the work of women who are making this world a better place for all of us to live in. They are all around us, and they generally do not seek accolades for themselves. However, sometimes they shine so brightly, that it's impossible for their impact to go unnoticed.
Today we'd like to give a special shout to Montreal activist, educator, and friend of the Wall, rosalind hampton, who was recently acknowledged by the FRO Foundation when they awarded her the "Fro Ubuntu Personality Award" for 2014.
Presented during the organization's annual FRO Festival on February 22, 2014 by keynote speaker and legend Kathleen Cleaver, this award honours rosalind hampton for her more than 25 years of work supporting youth and families in Montreal, and particularly within the anglophone black community of the city.
|Photo: FRO Foundation
In addition to her work supporting youth and families, rosalind is extremely active within several community organizations, whether as a founder, director, or worker, through which she has developed and supported programs that seek to strengthen community ties and engagement by using artistic mediums as a forum for education, expression, and communication. Some of these organizations include the Alfie Roberts Institute, Black Star Big Brothers Big Sisters of Montreal, and Community-University Talks (C-Uni-T). As a PhD student, rosalind is also engaged in the McGill community by representing her colleagues in student government. Through her role as a student leader and organizer, she was instrumental in developing resolutions supported by CLASSE during the 2012 student strike to ensure issues of race and gender were addressed in the platform and strike mandate of the largest syndicate of student associations active in that year's Printemps Érables.
Here at the Wall of Femmes, we have the utmost love and respect for this woman and the work she's done to build our communities and dismantle the structural elements that allow racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression to continue to exist in our institutions. We could not agree more with the FRO Foundation's decision to acknowledge rosalind with their Personality Award for 2014.
The FRO Foundation had this to say about their selection of rosalind for their 2014 honour:
"FRO strongly believes that the fight to develop the full potential of our communities should and must include creating environments that allow our children to thrive. Systematic policies that stifle cultural communities must be denounced, as we carry out intervention work with our youth. We want to take the time to acknowledge the great work of one of the many exceptional people we have had the privilege of working with. She has had help along the way; however, sometimes the path of selflessness must be travelled alone.
The recipient of the Prix Personnalité Fro Ubuntu 2014 is a cultural worker whose career has spanned the fields of social services, community work, art and education. She has worked as a youth and family worker in both institutional and community settings for over 25 years and has been working with Montreal's Black communities since 2007. She has worked at the Alfie Roberts Institute and has served as a director at the Black Star Big Brother Centre. She is in the third year of a PhD program in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education and holds degrees in Special Care Counselling, Art History and Art Education. She has also worked as a youth and family intervention and support worker, community worker, artist, educator and researcher. She is the proud mother of a community mural artist and maintains strong ties to Montreal's Black communities.
Her current research at McGill examines social relations between Black people and the University. She is starting her second year as the VP of Diversity & Equity at the McGill Education Graduate Students' Society and is the co-founder and coordinator of Community-University Talks, a collective of Black community members, students, and teachers from a broad range of ethno-cultural backgrounds. She works with Students of Colour Montreal* and was co-organizer of the 2013 Congress of Black Writers and Artists: Create Dangerously. During the student strike, she contributed, along with several colleagues, to the submission of a motion for CLASSE to adopt an official position of anti-racism and anti-colonialism in all communications, including publications, media relations, speeches, and conferences.
We would like to invite Ms. Kathleen Cleaver to present the Prix Personnalité Fro Ubuntu 2014 to Rosalind Hampton."

Therapist Insurance
Massage therapists ease the stress and tension in others, but running a business can create a lot of stress for you! The last thing you need when it's time to renew or buy your business insurance is to spend hours shopping around for quotes, or filling in forms for a broker. Negligence claims against therapists, salons and nail technicians are rising dramatically in a very litigious society. Even if you feel that you have not been at fault or done anything wrong, a client can still make a claim against you. Insurance is vital to protect you when claims are made against you. Our insurance service lets you do it all in one go, and you can be covered in no time by an insurer you trust.
We have partnered with Westminster Indemnity to offer you what we believe is the most comprehensive insurance policy available. You can have any number of therapies added on at any time during the policy and there will be no charge - it's totally FREE. There are also no admin charges for being a limited company, sole trader, or working out of different premises.

Berly Valladares didn't have to pull the trigger to be convicted of murder.
A Cook County jury today found Valladares guilty of murder after he provided a fellow gang member with the loaded gun that ended the life of DePaul University honors student Francisco "Frankie" Valencia Jr.
He also was convicted of aggravated battery for wounding a second victim.
"Because of Berly Valladares, instead of a college ID number, Frankie now has a morgue ID number," Assistant State's Attorney Mark Shlifka said today in closing arguments.

Major General Keith Cima (corr), 60, claims he was told that senior bosses were plotting to oust him after he raised concerns about a culture of bullying, Spanish practises, cannabis growing and unauthorised access to the Crown Jewels.
Yesterday his then deputy, Colonel Richard Harrold, denied allegations of wrongdoing and that the personal safety Maj Gen Cima and his family had been threatened.
He described his former boss as viewing the world through a "distorted lens" and dismissed accusations of the misconduct as "unsubstantiated rumour".
In a statement to the London Central Employment Tribunal, Col Harrold said: "On March 8 2007, Keith told me that he had been informed that the Yeoman body were out to get him.
"This, he said, was based on information that he had received from two sources. I believe the possibility that Keith was in personal danger was suggested to him by these two YW.
Yesterday, Maj Gen Cima sat at the front of the tribunal as he heard the evidence given by Col Harrold.
He is claiming unfair dismissal and seeking reinstatement to his post after insisting he was hounded out of his job because he directly criticised the Historic Royal Palaces's (HRP), which runs the Tower.
In particular, the tribunal heard how Maj Gen Cima objected to HRP's decision to publicly apologise and make a £60,000 out-of-court settlement to Yeoman Warder Mark Sanders-Crook - wrongly sacked in 2009 for alleged harassment of female Beefeater Moira Cameron.
But his employer denies his allegations and alleges that senior officials received numerous complaints about his challenging management style and inappropriate comments.
Yesterday, the tribunal heard that at one stage Maj Gen Cima's paranoia over his own personal safety became so great that he instructed Col Harrold to install additional security measures including locks and cameras.
Col Harrold accused his former boss of being too quick to "take rumour as fact", adding: "As to Keith's rather lurid account of "additional locks and cameras" being installed, they were installed because Keith told me to.
"I did exactly what I was instructed to, even though I did not believe there was any threat to him.
"This was particularly inappropriate approach in the Tower which is a small close knit residential community containing its fair share of petty jealousies and rivalries, in which rumours abound, "winding people up" is a sport and embellishment of fact is habitual."
Maj Gen Cima took over the prestigious job as Governor of the Tower of London in 2006.
He took a hard line on what he regarded as "Spanish practices" at the site which included selling unauthorised tickets to the Tower Club, unauthorised access to the Crown Jewels, growing cannabis plants, and letting accommodation to young female tourists.
But Col Harrold, who was in the army for 29 years, claimed there was little truth in the allegations, adding that the cannabis plants were in fact tomato plants grown by a Beefeater who was also a keen gardener.
The others allegations referred to previous problems which had since been solved, he said in his statement.
Col Harrold said: "It is misleading for Keith to suggest that these matters were all going on at the times that he joined the Tower and that they were more than isolated incidents.
"It is also wrong for Keith to present himself as having acted alone to right the wrongs that there were in the Tower."
Colin Bourne, representing Maj Gen Cima, insisted: "The cannabis plants were, in fact, cannabis plants and the Yeoman Warder was growing them for his own use and that is why nothing was done about it."
Col Harrold replied: "Keith interpreted that he was growing cannabis for his own purposes. The evidence that I am aware of is that this Yeoman Warder was a very keen gardener, he ran one of the private gardens and grew a lot of plants from seed.
"This included tomato plants, apparently he did use to joke they were cannabis."
Following Maj Gen Cima's complaints an investigation into the practices in the Tower was launched, codenamed Quest, which indicated that there was some "looseness" in financial management was tightened up, it was said.
Col Harrold also denied allegations that the two Beefeaters who blew the whistle were hounded out but admitted that because of their "false" allegations "there was great resentment against them".
One of the "sources" had also spoken to the press about Moira Cameron joining as a Yeoman Warder, causing some upset in the Tower, and he also had a "violent temper" and was a "deeply unpopular individual".
HRP, which run five historic Royal Residences, maintain Maj Gen Cima was sacked after he undermined the company by speaking out and then lied and attempted to discredit others when he was confronted.

You don't want to miss this, Mack Maine talks about the Carter IV coming soon from Lil Wayne. He said some of the new Lil Wayne music is from when he was in jail, writing down his thoughts. Usually Wayne doesn't write his raps, he just freestyles in the studio. However, since there was no studio in prison, he had all the time in the world to perfect his new songs, and put them on paper first. Mack Maine says some of these new songs are amazing, and too stay on the look out for Cory Gunz.

some new town
We're here (we're queer, we don't want any more bears!). All in one piece, the cat behaved amazingly well, and our furniture gets here tomorrow. Not too shabby.
It was a long damn drive. Saw some beautiful parts of the country, ate at a Texas steakhouse in Nebraska, a Sonic in Colorado, at the Bellagio in Vegas (best buffet ever), and managed to survive the traffic getting in.
The apartment wasn't exactly spotlessly clean when we got here, which was disheartening, but they sent someone over to clean today and once our furniture's in place, it'll feel a lot more like home. Our first dinner here was pizza eaten sitting on the floor and it was just a classic newlywed moment. Someday we'll have a nicer and more permanent home, we just gotta work our way up. Things only gets bigger and better from here.
Saying goodbye to friends was hard. But my friend A's wedding was simply the most perfect send-off we could have had. A perfect series finale where all the main characters come together for a night of celebration before going their separate ways. The day we left we had breakfast at our favorite little diner with our two best friends, who sent us off with hugs, a bottle of champagne, and two bags of Miss A's unbeatable chocolate chip cookies, made with love and hugely enjoyed on the road.
We drove around today and I got excited about all the stores we now have access to (Trader Joe's! Costco! Macy's!) and had lunch at Schlotzsky's, which made me very happy. I now have a San Diego county library card, because that is what big fat nerds/bookworms do to feel more at home in a new place.
Had dinner at a pretty good Thai place and then popped into a Big Lots across the street. Something about palm trees against a sunset sky makes even a Big Lots parking lot kind of a nice place to be.
I am pretty damn happy to be here.

As President Barack Obama prepares for his State of the Union address in Congress, where he will no doubt claim credit for signs of economic recovery, new analyses by economists suggest that growth will slow and unemployment will remain virtually unchanged by year's end.
According to economists surveyed by USA Today, much of the excitement around December retail sales was "hype," and the fourth-quarter bounce was largely driven by post-earthquake/tsunami activity in Japan, not domestic policy. (When the economy suffers, the President blamed the earthquake; when it recovers, curiously, no earthquakes merit mention).
There is continued uncertainty in Europe, and even new uncertainty about slower Chinese growth. But the great drag on the economy remains the American housing market, according to economists, even though many of them expect prices to stop falling this year. Government interventions and bailouts under Obama and his predecessor may have deferred some pain but have prevented markets from full correction and recovery, reinforcing deep uncertainty.
The eagerness of many journalists to report the (real) positive developments of the past several weeks may have had as much to do with providing the president with a good message for the 2012 election year as with delivering good news to a public desperate for positive signs.
The 112th Congress has succeeded in restoring some fiscal and regulatory stability, but the president's refusal to compromise on debt and deficit reduction has created new financial uncertainty. The U.S. is still the borrower of choice for global lenders–but only because the dollar remains the global currency, and because the rest of the world is in worse shape.
The President, for his part, continues deliberately to seek confrontation with his political opponents over even the most obscure details–confusing "taxes" and "revenues," for example, in an attempt to paint Republican opposition to the former as intransigence on the latter. The result is a sense that the country is rudderless, its stagnant economy restrained by a government that insists on controlling more and more yet capable of managing less and less.

Tuesday, July 25, 2006
We got back from the Vancouver Folk Music Festival a week ago but it seems like forever. I had a bad cold all last week and didn't feel up to writing about it, and the images of the week-end are no longer freshly burning. But tonight's the best night for setting down some thoughts, so here goes.
At the center of the fest are Seegers. The mascot is Pete Seagull, in honor of, and P. Seeger's synthesis of trad music, political progressivism, and masterful (and subterranean) pop-music instincts remain an ideal. (Seeger doesn't often get discussed as a pop musician, but the Weavers had a Number One hit with a Leadbelly tune (Goodnight, Irene, not, it's worth pointing out, trad material), accompanied by Gordon Jenkins's slickest studio orchestra, and their version of "Wimoweh" was Top Ten and rising when they got McCarthy-blacklisted and it dropped like a shoe. Seeger wrote "Turn! Turn! Turn!" which went to Number One in a recording by the Byrds in 1965. He co-wrote "If I Had a Hammer" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," all folk-pop standards, all hits. If having Number One hits 15 years apart as a singer and a writer doesn't make you pop, I don't know what would.)
P. Seeger has been on my mind because his brother Mike and his grandson Tao were among my favorite acts this trip to Vancouver. Mike appeared with New Lost City Ramblers, amiable scholars of rural Southern music who've been playing together since 1958. Highlights of their sets were seeing Mike tap the drum head of John Cohen's banjo like a drum while Cohen was singing and playing it, and seeing Mike dance a graceful jig -- twice! The first time I saw him do it was on a small stage, and he seemed to do it just to show he could. It was lovely but not inspired.
The second time I saw it, I could feel the love & passion way back in the back of the crowd. The Ramblers were sharing a stage with another straight-up string band and with the Mammals, Mike Seeger's great-nephew's band. The Mammals feature Tao Rodriguez-Seeger on banjo, guitar, harmonica, and vocals; Ruth Unger on violin, guitar, ukulele, banjo, and vocals; and Michael Merenda on guitar, banjo, and vocals. A first-rate rhythm section -- bass and drums -- put the rock in their re-synthesized folk rock, a folk rock quite different than that of the Byrds. Back in 1965, McGuinn, Clark, Crosby and the gang made the Dylan + Beatles equation, mixed in McGuinn's gorgeous, chiming, careening guitar, and came up with modern sonic (folk) rock with a capital lack of roll. Instead of Dylan + Beatles, the Mammals come out of the much more trad folky New Lost City Ramblers, plus Nirvana. They do the old folk songs much straighter than the Byrds ever did, and more rounded out than solo folky Dylan ever went, and they sing without Dylan's or McGuinn's hipster irony, all guts, and when they turn on the rock, it's loud and darkly riffy with shouted vocals and a rockin' leg-split leapin' Rodriguez-Seeger hitting his banjo at the top of his leap.
I liked their covers better than their originals -- almost the opposite of the Byrds, whose covers are usually the weakest things on their first two albums (Pete Seeger songs and "Tambourine Man" excepted) -- and, of course, the re-synthesizing of folk rock is unlikely to be as influential as the original synthesis. And although all three frontline players are super solid, none of them touch McGuinn for innovativeness as a soloist.
But -- here's the thing -- as good as the Byrds were as singers, I like the Mammals' singing even better -- at least their group singing (can't say a bad thing about Gene Clark's lead singing on his own gorgeous broody lovelorn songs with the Byrds -- or solo). Solid three-part harmonies, like the Byrds, but lusher voicings -- not just the major chords -- and more guts.
I saw the Mammals three different times over the week-end, and seeing them play the same original song twice gave me pause. It was OK, not a bad song, the kind of thing I'd hear on college rock radio and find decent and pleasant and uncompelling and unmemorable. That they played the same song twice made me think -- oh no, this is their GOOD one. Another original I liked better, an anti-Bush diatribe with stretched-out substitute harmonies over a traditional tune.
Hush little baby don't you cry
Daddy's gonna buy you an alibi
And if that alibi don't work
Daddy's gonna bribe the county clerk
And if that county clerk don't bribe
Daddy's got Congress on his side
And if that Congress still won't budge
Daddy's in tight with a Supreme Court judge
So that was promising, and I bought their most recent CD, Departure. As I suspected, the covers rock me, the originals, eh. "Hush Little Baby" isn't on it, alas.
It's the covers that interest me. As it happens, they cover a '50s moralistic country waltz that the Byrds had recorded early on, "Satisfied Mind."
Little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
And the Mammals blow the Byrds out of the water. They sing it HARD. They sing it like they mean it. It's wonderful.
"Departure" also features a cover I heard them sing at the Fest: an Argentinian political song strongly sung by Rodriguez-Seeger (who grew up in Nicaragua); I was glad to hear it again on the disc. But the album's tour-de-force is a fierce re-working of a powerfully insinuating song that never worked so well for me as here, Nirvana's "Come As You Are," sung in 6/8. My stumbling block with the song had always been the bridge, where Cobain sang in a low register, "And I swear that I don't have a gun, no I don't have a gun." Vaguely menacing and unsettling when Cobain sings it, especially given the mode of his own demise, but also too repetitive and ultimately slacking, at least to my ears. The Mammals jack it up: Cobain sang the bridge in a lower register than the verse; the Mammals sing it an octave higher, and the way I hear it, Cobain's suicide inflects their version with terror and passion and compassion. This terrible knowledge undercuts the literal meaning of the words, and their vocal tones contradict their meaning: Yes he did have a gun.
I'd be content with them not writing such vivid songs themselves if they limited the contributions of their own "pens" (or laptops) and gave more focus to re-imagining better songs. But I'm still glad to hear what they're up to, and I wish them well. They seem like nice people.
The Mammals hosted the stage they shared with the New Lost City Ramblers and another band (whose name is escaping me). After Mike Seeger's band played a song, Mike's great-nephew urged them to play another because the one they'd just finished was so short. The Ramblers decided what to play, and Mike disappeared behind the curtain to pull out whichever of his myriad instruments would be best for the one they'd chosen. Tao Rodriguez-Seeger said, "It reminds me of a family reunion at grandma's. Everything grinds to a halt as someone goes to look for the autoharp."
Pete Seeger's grandson called the last tune that set: an old traditional song all three of the bands could play together. Three banjos, three fiddles, two guitars (plus bass and drums from the Mammals), and what's Mike Seeger going to play? He goes backstage and comes back with a mandolin, plays it for a while, then sets it down and does this marvelous funky jig, much goofier and more joyfull than the one I'd seen the day before, he's loving the music so much. Seeger's a wry, dry, smart, pedantic, witty, somewhat puritanical and dour presence on stage usually, and it moved me to see him so happy. After the song he and Tao gave each other a stiff and awkward but still warm and sincere half-shoulder man-hug. Me and my uncles, whom I love to pieces, and who are roughly Mike Seeger's age, we shake hands, but then, we don't kick out the old-time jams together either.
* * *
More on the festival to come when I get a chance.
nice synopsis but you couldn't be more off base about the mammals songwriting. check it out: "They're fabricating outlaws, caught up in the facade, swallowed by the barrage, follow me to carthage! Don;t believe the headlines, keep yr head and body in line, do not fear for kowledge but follow me to Carthage" ... no one else right now is challenging their governmnet like that in song. In fact, most everything merenda writes is top-shelf. did you miss "Alone on the Homestead"? it'snot trad., it's original and it is brilliant. Did you miss "kissthe break of day"? did you miss 'round the bend' and "tryin to remember what city i know you from". and "Dime-a-Dozen"? Theseare a+ songs. oh well,there'sno accounting for taste. listen to that record again.Post a Comment

Google Mapping Project - Take a feed, plot data elements
Budget $30-250 USD
You will get an excel spreadsheet (please see attached) and you will plot the data elements by address and other characteristics on Google map. When i click on the entry, i will see information for that location (see spreadsheet for example of what i am looking for).
What i need automated is the part which will take an address and plots information without going and manually configuring a config file OR if this can be done by a backend java process, i am fine with that as well.
So, two options:
1. Take an excel file, plot the addresses by a few characteristics. When plotting the data elements, you will plot certain items by different colors (make it easy to spot).
2. Have something in Java which will read the excel spreadsheet and creates geomapping file to plot the data.
People who will win can show me some quick samples.
Attached is the sample spreadsheet showing the data to work.

How Gamification works
GoGo Labs, Inc. announced that it will partner with the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) to provide North Carolina public school teachers with online training in quest-based digital learning. The partnership will attempt to introduce teachers to Gamification.
NCCAT, a recognized national leader in professional development for teachers, will host the online training in GoGo Labs' 3D Game Lab environment from November 17 through December 5, 2014. You may ask how does Gamification work? Thanks to the folks at GoGoLabs, Inc. and 3D Game Lab website we have some answers.
"Instead of courses consisting mainly of textbook learning and lectures, classes built using game mechanics such as badges, experience points, levels and leaderboards, boost student engagement by allowing students to choose from "quests" and progress at their own pace through a series of educational activities
Students are motivated due to personal choice and meaningfulness, real-time feedback, the ability to collaborate or compete, and over time, they learn stay persistent in learning due to prior successes. Quest tasks can range from listening to a podcast, collecting and analyzing real-time data, or watching a short video to partnering with a classmate for discussion or writing a short essay. As students complete each quest, they can level up to new assignments on their journey toward an "A." Teachers have the ability to approve quests or put them on auto-approval so students can keep progressing while waiting for their teacher's feedback on milestone work. Early research showed that on average students remained more persistent in quest-based learning™ compared to traditional assignments, with over 92 percent of students receiving "A's," and over 65 percent who continued to quest in a course after they already earned an "A."

National Quilting Day is March 15th. That's tomorrow!!!
I can sure use an excuse to hide in my studio and get some work done! Not that I need an excuse but after all of the schedule changes for State Testing at school, the horrible weather this week (yes, we had even more snow), the darned flu etc... I will welcome the opportunity to celebrate something wonderful. And we all know, quilting is wonderful!
I have several projects I am working on, I just have to decide which one to work on first.
Our winter weather this year has been relentless. It has been our worst winter in over thirty years. Although I'm not a real fan of being outside during harsh winter weather, winter doesn't usually bother me too much. I walk the dog a few times a day and spend most of the remainder of my time indoors. The ridiculous amount of snow we have had and the long string of below zero and in the teens temperatures are really starting to take its toll.
This beautiful quilt has been delivered safe and sound!
Two years ago, my sister mailed a quilt top to be quilted and a few other items in a box to me. I got a box with some packing materials but otherwise empty. Although the package was insured and the USPS (United States Postal Service) did pay the insured amount, we felt they did not put their best effort forth to locate the missing quilt. It was very sad and my sister said she planned never to mail a quilt or quilt top again.
This teal ribbon fabric is part of the Blank Fabric Inspiration Collection. Every cancer and many special causes have their own color. We are all familiar with pink standing for Breast Cancer. Teal is the color for Ovarian Cancer.
Today is the 2-year anniversary of my surgery for Ovarian Cancer. I am very fortunate. My family and doctors are fantastic, my surgery was successful, and my cancer was low malignancy.
Another of my friends lost her sister. She kindly brought a couple of boxes of fabric to me that her sister had left behind. I cherish the treasures I inheret from others and try to put them to good use as I believe they would want.
While I was going through the boxes, I found a WIP (Work In Progress)!!! Her sister had started to make a 9-Patch Quilt. She had cut alot of 3½" squares and many were already matched up for the blocks. She had also already pieced some 9-Patch Blocks so I continued to sew the fabrics together as she had matched them up. I ended up with thirty, 9", 9-Patch blocks and a bunch of leftover squares.
I assembled the 9-Patch Blocks in five rows of six blocks each. I sewed a 3" frame around the assembled 9-Patch Blocks then made a border with the leftover squares and finished with a plain outer border.
I used a neutral backing and quilted with a sturdy over-all pattern. I attached a label and this keepsake was complete.
It gave me great pleasure to present this finished quilt to my friend this weekend. I hope it brings warmth and comfort to her as she cuddles up and enjoys memories of her sister.
Happy Quilting,
I made a mistake when I told you about my colorful Tumbler quilt. I am now working on a Tumbler Quilt using a nine inch tumbler block. I gave you the information for that quilt!
The quilt with the six inch tumblers is twenty rows of twenty-three tumblers. This means 460 tumblers make up this quilt. Each tumbler is different thanks to the donations of scraps from some of my friends. So....keep cutting!!!
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Happy Quilting,
Snow, snow, and more snow!!! We got several more inches of snow today. For the most part, I stayed inside and got alot accomplished. If it were a weekday, we may have had another snowday away from school. I know I will probably be crying in June when we have to extend our school year to make up for the days we have missed for the snow and/or horrible cold, but, I have been enjoying the extra time at home.
My sister is often after me to do something for myself. I guess like "the shoemaker's kids never have shoes"....."the quiltmaker doesn't have quilts"!
I finally finished one of my Tumbler Quilts and got it on the bed.
My daughter-in-law let me know that a Joann Fabrics store in our area is closing. They are having a liquidation sale and she and her sister found some great deals. I drove out there and found some wonderful deals too!!! All fabric is on sale by the bolt only but at 40 to 75% off it was well worth the visit.
While shopping, I found out that two stores within 45 minutes of my home are closing (both having liquidation sales). A super store is being built to replace the two smaller, older stores. I am very excited about the opening of the new store and can't wait to see what kind of Grand Opening festivities they are planning. I love shopping at new stores while everything is fresh, new, clean and orderely.
Sometimes, while trying to keep strips or completed rows organized for a quilt in progress, I will put them on a hanger. Putting them on a hanger keeps them in order, in clear view and neatly pressed. The only problem with this method is that the pieces sometimes slide off of the hangers, especially when moving them from one place to another.
I found the perfect solution!!! Huggable Hangers!
When my friend came over for our sewing day she brought me a Christmas gift. When I opened the box, I was delighted to see this awesome clock. After she left, I immediately hung it in my studio. It looks great! It certainly is the perfect clock for a quilter.

What's the Latest?
Could different exercise routines mirror social differences like political party affiliation or level of education? When author Daniel Duane began seriously lifting weights at the age of 40, his friends and even his wife struggled to understand his decision. It seems that building muscle had social implications which Duane didn't bargain for. Sociologist Carl Stemple, writing in the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, "argues that upper middle class Americans avoid 'excessive displays of strength,' viewing the bodybuilder look as vulgar overcompensation for wounded manhood."
What's the Big Idea?
Duane began lifting because he learned that endurance sports like jogging and swimming don't keep bones from deteriorating in old age the way building muscle mass does. But social lines became obstacles in Duane's quest to achieve his new view of health. "The so-called dominant classes, Stempel writes—especially those like [Duane's] friends and [Duane himself], richer in fancy degrees than in actual dollars—tend to express dominance through strenuous aerobic sports that display moral character, self-control, and self-development, rather than physical dominance." In the end, Duane abandoned weight lifting, suggesting that preserving social bonds meant more to him than individual achievement.

Hariprasanna K
Directorate of Sorghum Research (ICAR), India
Title: Biofortification: Breeding for 'Hidden Hunger', and prospects in Sorghum
Hariprasanna K has completed his MSc and PhD in Genetics (1996-2002) from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, and joined ARS of ICAR in 2003. Presently he is working as Senior Scientist (Plant Breeding) at DSR, Hyderabad. His research areas include genetic augmentation of sorghum parental lines and hybrid development, identification of molecular markers related to combining ability and heterosis, improving grain protein quality, etc. He is Co-PI for DBT funded project on sorghum Biofortification in collaboration with ICRISAT. He is acting as referee for a number of Indian and International journals, and actively involved in technical editing.
Micronutrient malnutrition, often known as 'hidden hunger', affects more than one-half of the developing world's population. Micronutrient deficiency especially that of iron, zinc and vitamin A affects more than 2 billion people, the most affected being women and preschool children. It leads to poor health and reduced output from the workforce, thus impacting national socioeconomic development. As staple foods form major part of the diet of poor people, these must supply micronutrients in required quantity. Nutritional improvement of the staple crops to promote human health didn't get sufficient priority as increased productivity and profitability were the focus of Agricultural research so far. Biofortification – the development of micronutrient-dense staple crop cultivars using the best traditional breeding practices and modern biotechnology is a powerful tool in this regard as it provides a cost-effective, sustainable, and long-term means of delivering more micronutrients to target populations and can significantly improve the health status. Biofortified crop varieties can be obtained through breeding, when sufficient genetic variability is present in the diversity spectrum or by exploiting transgressive segregation or heterosis.
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor L. (Moench)] is the fifth most important cereal crop by area planted in the world, and supports more than 300 million lives in the arid and semi-arid tropics of Africa and Asia. It is a principal source of energy and nutrients for poor people, and is nutritionally superior with more micronutrients compared to fine cereals. In India, sorghum is the fourth most important cereal consumed with annual per capita consumption up to 54 kg in rural areas and up to 34 kg in urban areas. Large genetic variability for grain iron (12-83 mg/kg) and zinc (6-51 mg/kg) contents as well as high heritability has been reported in sorghum. Significant variability for grain iron and zinc in the landraces and core collection accessions also has been found at ICRISAT, Patancheru. Thus, biofortification in sorghum appears to be a feasible strategy to alleviate the micronutrient malnutrition among the rural poor considering the high intake of sorghum in the major production/consumption regions in India.
