2. Don't assume they are going to be where they say they are. Be that annoying parent that checks up, drops in, calls the other parent to confirm plans. Your teen will hate it, but that's okay.
3. Don't give them approval for stupid stuff. Don't say "It's okay to drink alcohol as long as you're at home and not driving." No, it's not. It's illegal. It's unhealthy. It also gives the impression (accurately) that you really don't care what they do as long as there aren't consequences you have to deal with.
4. Speaking of which, don't back off on consequences. If you tell her she's grounded for two weeks, and she makes your life a living H&^* so you're tempted to shorten that just to get her out of the house, don't. She'll know that from then on, she can play you. And she'll be right.
5. Don't be a friend. It's okay to have fun, enjoy each other's company and be nice, but you're not the friend. He has lots of friends. He needs a mom and dad, not another pal.
6. Don't skimp on manners. Insist that your young man holds the door for you, uses the right utensil, says "please" and "thank you". Make sure your young lady knows how to order in a nice restaurant, get in and out of a car wearing a skirt, and be respectful of elders. Not only will this serve them well in life, their future boss will thank you for it.
7. Don't do everything for them. They need to know how to make an appointment for themselves, take the heat for a missed assignment, complain (nicely) about shoddy service and get their money back. Help them grow a backbone.
8. Don't cook for them all the time. Every kid should know how to cook a decent meal (not just warm stuff up). Even if it's spaghetti, salad and bread, your teen should be able to put a respectable meal on the table. Future dates will thank you for this one.
9. Don't put down their friends. Even if you don't like that friend, make that snotty kid feel welcome as the Pope in your home. In fact, insist that they hang out at your place. You can keep on eye on things there.
10. Don't let religion slide, but don't fight with them when they question the Faith. It is NORMAL (do you hear me: NORMAL!!) for young people to start wondering why they believe what they do. DO NOT PANIC and DO NOT FIGHT. Answer. Give them some books to read. Find allies like youth ministers and grand parents. If you let them know it's okay to ask, they will. If you fight with them, you've already lost the battle.

Welcome to the Memory Dynamics Laboratory website!
We are interested in the malleability of memory – the cognitive processes and mechanisms that cause memories to change or remain stable over time. More specifically, our research focuses on how the process of retrieving memories affects the content (e.g., events, specific details, narrative structure, etc.) and phenomenological characteristics (e.g., confidence, emotional intensity, vividness, etc.) of those memories. Our research addresses both theoretical issues in cognitive psychology and practical applications to education and mental health.

Man arrested in connection to slaying of mother of 4
Man arrested in connection to slaying of mother of 4
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Metro police have made an arrest weeks after a mother of four was shot and killed near her Whitney Avenue home.
Corey Chapman was booked into metro corrections Thursday morning in connection with the slaying of Leontynae Wade.
She was the mother of two of his children.
According to Wade's sister, Chapman's 8-year-old son was one of the witnesses who identified him as the suspect in his mother's murder.
Also, according to an arrest report, Wade identified Chapman as her killer before she died at University Hospital.
Chapman is being held on charges of murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, among other charges.
Chapman is due in court for arraignment Friday.

RSA launches multi-premises property-owners cover
by Gill Montia
Story link: RSA launches multi-premises property-owners cover
RSA has launched a new product created specifically for property owners who own and let single or multi-premise portfolios.
The offering can provide cover for up to ten buildings, with flexible added options such as landlord's contents and liability.
In addition, cover is available across a wide definition of buildings, including residential, commercial, car parks, outbuildings and CCTV.
The cover is accessible to brokers via several e-trading platforms, including RSA Online, and web-training sessions are being arranged to allow intermediaries to see features and benefits and ask questions through an online interactive chat facility.
The insurer's SME trading director, David Greaves, comments: "Having listened to customer feedback, a key consideration of the Properties product has been to provide cover for both commercial and residential properties under one policy, this saves time and money for brokers and their customers."

Protests against Tar Sand Oil in U.S.
Hundreds protest outside the White House in an attempt to stop U.S. President Barack Obama from approving the Keystone XL pipeline, which would be running right through the middle of U.S. extending from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
The pipeline in Alberta, Canada has already contaminated water bodies and people downstream these water sources have developed health related problems. For this reason, many scientists, environmentalists and citizens are protesting against signing of the pipeline construction deal. In fact the EPA has given the Keystone pipeline a failing grade and has called for a final review before the actual decision to support the dirty oil is taken.

Clean tech investor summit 2011: Nuclear energy
In January of 2006, Ralph Cavanagh and Peter Schwartz had an intellectual, inspiring, and heated conversation exploring the pros and cons of nuclear power at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco. Now, five years later, we are bringing them together again for a conversation as important as ever. Is nuclear power required to meet the challenges of climate change and potential planetary collapse? Or are there better pathways, is it too expensive, and is it quite literally, explosive? Ron Pernick, of Clean Edge and the Clean-Tech Investor Summit, will moderate this important and timely conversation.0 comments

Connecticut School System Bans Halloween Parades To Not Exclude Or Offend Anyone
For today in outrage we go to Milford, Connecticut where school officials recently banned Halloween parades and celebrations at their elementary schools. When I was growing up Halloween meant dressing up in flammable drug store costumes and asking strangers for candy. It also meant parading around your grade school in that costume with all the other kids, minus a few. There was always the poor kid whose parents couldn't afford to get him a costume or some weirdo whose family "didn't celebrate Halloween." Well now it is 2015 and we have to acknowledge everyone so they don't get left out and have their feelings hurt.
The principal at one of the elementary schools in Milford sent a letter home to parents explaining that his year all Halloween celebrations at the school including the annual parade which has happened since the 1950's would be canceled in order to not make any kids feel left out who "might not want to partake in the parade for religious or cultural reasons."
While it wasn't really clear who or what group specifically was protesting Halloween, parents were more upset than a vampire who stayed up past sunrise. For a while it seemed that the only thing scary happening at the school would be how quickly officials overreact. However a petition at Change.org created by angry parents got over 1600 signatures in support of reinstating Halloween festivities at the school. The petition in part took on the fact that they felt Halloween was an American tradition and canceling the celebration was un-American. The petition says;
However, never fear you will still have plenty of little pint sized ghosts and goblins to…. fear. The school board later reversed the decision and inclusive Halloween themed activities will be held at the school. Sounds fun.

Last month when we went down to LA for Kim's opening of his painted Ballerina Show, we arrived at Sylvie Blum's house and she had asked Kim if he would like to shoot with one of her models. Kim wasn't planning on shooting and didn't bring his camera and equipment with him, so Sylvie loaned him her late husband Gunther Blum's camera!
"It was a great privilege and honor to use a camera that 2 great photographers have used. I made a mad dash over to Calumet's to buy film, rent a light meter and buy a bushing so I could use Sylvie's tripod. When all was said and done I had a great afternoon shoot. It was wonderful to meet Afua and work with her. I had seen the stunning work Sylvie had done with her and I was happy to have this opportunity.
There are three rules to BBQ - Don't get drunk, don't get drunk, don't get drunk. This can also apply to photography. Don't leave your camera at home, don't leave your camera at home, don't leave your camera at home."

A city lawyer has cautioned against the removal of IEBC Commissioners as demanded by the opposition, saying the move may affect the process of conducting a repeat of the Presidential poll as ordered by the Supreme Court.
Lawyer James Mamboleo who spoke to KBC noted that appointing new Commissioners to spearhead the elections cannot be achieved in the 60-day period within which elections should be held.
He warned that any attempt to remove the current Commissioners will throw the nation into a constitutional crisis.
Mamboleo instead called for all stakeholders to work towards strengthening the IEBC.
He said as the country braces for a repeat poll, there is no vacuum in the Presidency as President Uhuru Kenyatta is still in charge as stipulated in the Constitution.
Meanwhile the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission is expected to release a schedule for the elections next week.
President Uhuru Kenyatta's victory was nullified by the Supreme Court through a majority decision by the six-Judge-bench chaired by Chief Justice David Maraga, citing various irregularities including failure to adhere to the constitution.
Elsewhere, Jubilee leaders in Eldoret have said they will stage extensive campaigns that will lead to the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta in the fresh polls.
The region is the home-turf of Deputy President William Ruto. On Friday, the town remained calm after the Supreme Court ruling nullified the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

چکیده انگلیسی
In just-in-time (JIT) production systems, there is both input stock in the form of parts and output stock in the form of product at each stage. These activities are controlled by production-ordering and withdrawal kanbans. This paper discusses a discrete-time optimal control problem in a multistage JIT-based production and distribution system with stochastic demand and capacity, developed to minimize the expected total cost per unit of time. The problem can be formulated as an undiscounted Markov decision process (UMDP); however, the curse of dimensionality makes it very difficult to find an exact solution. The author proposes a new neuro-dynamic programming (NDP) algorithm, the simulation-based modified policy iteration method (SBMPIM), to solve the optimal control problem. The existing NDP algorithms and SBMPIM are numerically compared with a traditional UMDP algorithm for a single-stage JIT production system. It is shown that all NDP algorithms except the SBMPIM fail to converge to an optimal control. Additionally, a new algorithm for finding the optimal parameters of pull systems is proposed. Numerical comparisons between near-optimal controls computed using the SBMPIM and optimized pull systems are conducted for three-stage JIT-based production and distribution systems. UMDPs with 42 million states are solved using the SBMPIM. The pull systems discussed are the kanban, base stock, CONWIP, hybrid and extended kanban.

I went to a friend's daughter's party at the weekend and met a lady there who had taken part in Lighterlife and lost over 7 stone! Wow amazing. I want to lose around 6 1/2 -7 stone (I don't know what I weigh just yet but I know it's roughly that I want to lose in total).
As we drove home the thoughts were in my head about losing this weight and how I could achieve it.
It's from here that I started my research into the Cambridge Diet. I found out it was practically the same as Lighterlife, but with more choice/flavour and about half the price too!
I e-mailed and awaited a response from a Counsellor.

Dan joined a drama group in his small home town in Australia, and it was there that he got his first taste of dance.
He says when he dances it's like creating another world.
Dan is a dance artist and curator, but he also works in the British Council office, as a touring assistant.
He'd have to say it doesn't feel political when he dances, but the response he gets from audiences is political.
In this dance he's exploring the seen and the unseen and the gap that exists between, and how the function of his body arrives at the form.

US actor Harrison Ford has been injured in a small plane crash in Los Angeles.
The 72-year-old star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films reported engine failure and crash-landed his vintage plane on a Venice golf course.
He was breathing and alert when medics arrived and took him to hospital in a "fair to moderate" condition, a fire department spokesman said.
His son Ben, a chef in Los Angeles, later tweeted from the hospital: "Dad is OK. Battered but OK!
His publicist said: "The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery,"
The nature of Ford's injuries have not been disclosed but website TMZ, which first reported the story, said he suffered "multiple gashes to his head".
Shortly after take-off from Santa Monica Airport, he said he was having engine failure with his 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR and was making an "immediate return".
Officials said the plane had been flying at about 3,000 feet (900m) and hit a tree on the way down.
"It just sounded like a car hitting the ground or a tree or something," Jeff Kuprycz, who was playing golf told the Associated Press news agency. "He ended up crashing around the eighth hole."
Christian Fry of the Santa Monica Airport Association said it was "an absolutely beautifully executed emergency landing by an unbelievably well-trained pilot".
Film producer Ryan Kavanaugh, who also witnessed the accident from his office, told The Hollywood Reporter: "He literally had five seconds, and 99% of pilots would have turned around to go back to the runway and would have crashed."
"Harrison did what the best pilots in the world would do," he continued. "He made the correct turn that the plane was designed for with an engine out."
'Moderate trauma'
After crash-landing, Ford was initially treated by doctors who happened to be at the golf course.
Later this year, Ford is reprising his role of Han Solo in the latest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
He broke his leg in June last year on set at Pinewood Studios while filming a scene involving a door on the Millennium Falcon spaceship.
Ford took up flying when he was in his 50s and is also trained to fly helicopters.
In 1999, Ford crash-landed his helicopter during a training flight in Los Angeles but both he and the instructor were unhurt.
A year later a plane he was flying had to make an emergency landing in Nebraska. Again he and his passenger escaped unhurt.

Puerto Rico Planning Board
The Puerto Rico Planning Board (Spanish: Junta de Planificación) created in the 1940s during Rexford G. Tugwell's governorship as the Puerto Rico Planning, Urbanization, and Zoning Board, is the only government agency in charge of centralized planning under the American flag.[1] Its creation was in keeping with Tugwell's New Deal philosophy that Puerto Rico should operate under a highly centralized, all-encompassing territorial government.
For decades, the Planning Board was in charge of all economic planning, land use zoning and case-by-case permitting in Puerto Rico. In the 1970s the permitting process was delegated to another government agency, the Rules and Permits Administration (ARPE) and since the late 1990s, major cities have been taking over that role in their own jurisdictions.
The Planning Board currently has a Chair and four Associate Members, all appointed by the Governor and requiring the consent of the Puerto Rico Senate.
The following is a list of the men and women that have served as Presidents of the Planning Board since 1942. Most are either civil engineers or urban planners certified by the American Institute of Certified Planners.[2]
- 1942–1955: Rafael Picó Santana
- 1955–1960: Cándido Oliveras
- 1960–1968: Ramón García Santiago

A woman who stabbed her soldier boyfriend after he broke her nose and battered her face should be spared time in jail, her lawyer argued Tuesday.
Crown seeks 12-month sentence for woman who stabbed Afghan war vet
OTTAWA — A woman who stabbed her soldier boyfriend after he broke her nose and battered her face should be spared time in jail, her lawyer argued Tuesday.
Ashley White acted viscerally and spontaneously after having her face so savagely beaten that her punishment should be no greater than probation, her defence lawyer Israel Gencher argued.
But a Crown prosecutor argued that White needed to be sentenced to 12 months behind bars for angrily plunging a knife into Patrick Halcro's chest following a disastrous and boozy date night in July 2010 that ended their six-month relationship.
Halcro admitted he hit White twice, once with a forearm to the face then again with a backhand.
Halcro claimed it was self-defence; White said he attacked after she ordered him out.
The two had been separated, 911 had been called, and Halcro was in a hallway with a neighbour when a hysterical White rushed out of her apartment armed with a knife and stabbed him.
Prosecutor Carl Lem said he recognized how "distraught" the 26-year-old bar manager must have been when she stabbed Halcro, but that the court needed to send the message that one can't take the law into their own hands.
The defence lawyer questioned just who would be deterred by such a message, however.
"Any young woman after being struck twice in the head by her paramour, concussed, with her nose broken?" he asked facetiously. "She was beaten to the ground."
The defence lawyer said he found it "disgusting" that Halcro wasn't charged for inflicting "egregious" injuries to White, who testified at trial she couldn't remember the stabbing.
A jury found White guilty of aggravated assault, rejecting a defence argument that she was in an altered state and acting on "autopilot" at the time of the stabbing. She was acquitted of the more serious charge of attempted murder.
"The message is he gets a walk, she should go to jail for a year," Gencher argued. "Where is the even-handedness, the fairness, the parity?"
The defence lawyer said White, who had spent five days in jail following her arrest, had an impeccable character. She has spent four years under bail conditions and her experience to date was deterrent enough, he said.
But the prosecutor argued White was motivated to retaliate. He encouraged Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny to sentence White for what happened outside the apartment, not inside.
"She did the right thing at the outset. She sought help, people acted heroically to intervene," said the prosecutor. "It's really the tragedy of the entire case that Ms. White wasn't satisfied to leave it at that. She inflicted the punishment she considered was due him."
The Crown argued that White has taken no responsibility for the harm she caused Halcro, a man whom White has cast as a villain, the prosecutor said.
Halcro, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of a tour of duty in Afghanistan, was stabbed just below the collar bone. The knife punctured his right lung, and narrowly missed vital organs, the prosecutor said.
With his service dog, Kopper, at his side in court Tuesday, Halcro described how he still has nightmares and suffers from depression.
"I suffer severe anxiety when I see a female with a knife," he said.
The fear of a woman with a knife is so acute that Halcro said he now sends his mother into a separate room to cut food, and cuts his girlfriend's dinner for her. Visiting a restaurant is very hard, Halcro said, explaining how he always needs a seat with his back to the other diners.
The sentencing hearing is expected to conclude Thursday.

Trends in wine making have evolved over time, from a purely technical task, which merely seeks to avoid defects in the conversion of must into wine using chemical remedies, to the quest for stability using clarification, stabilization and filtration treatments. Contemporary Oenology characterizes and assesses quality through a better knowledge of physicochemical and biological phenomena, in both the vineyard and the winery. The wines thus produced are defect-free and stable over time. The consumer obtains quality wines and is surprised by their originality and respect for the features that are characteristic of each wine region.
Agrovin has worked for almost 50 years in the manufacture and distribution of oenological products, which have evolved in tandem with advances in Oenology; Our efforts are currently aimed to offer winemakers products or solutions to problems that optimize respect for the intrinsic characteristics of each winemaking grape variety. Below is a list of types of winemaking products provided by Agrovin.â–¸ Yeasts for White Wines (read more)

I heard a truly upsetting fact yesterday: there is no shortage of oil. Apparently the Russians have drilled through polar ice to a depth of forty thousand feet and discovered abiotic oil. That's right, oil that is not a breakdown of organic waste, but is somehow formed out of rock or whatever, and can still power cars and hair dryers. Some say that's what BP was trying to find in the Gulf, too bad the idiots did it in the ocean.
But the oil cartels are just like the diamond people. Hold it back and jack up the prices. Okay, you're on. Baby boomers have always stood up to the powers that be. Here it is: I have decided the world should run on shit.
Shit, the most plentiful substance in the world, can be turned into methane gas, and methane gas can run anything. If you're worried about the smell, don't stick your nose in the fuel tank.
Imagine: farmers will PAY YOU to haul off their manure, which you then turn into fuel. Your septic tank, once the pariah of your homestead, now becomes a temple. When you emerge from the bathroom after a satisfying episode, everyone in the family gives you a round of applause. If the dog has an accident in the house, you give him extra treats. Shit, formerly a less than glorious substance, now becomes brown gold. When someone calls you a shithead, you thank him.
And if you happen to run out of gas, no worries, just back up to the tank and let 'er rip!

Atheros Communications introduced its AR9300 family of 11n solutions, featuring XSPAN with Signal Sustain Technology-3, or SST3, which provides 450 Mbps PHY rates derived from a 3-stream 11n MIMO configuration. Atheros said this design ensures robust bandwidth and energy efficiencies for latency-free media connectivity for personal computers, digital home networking equipment from retail vendors, carriers and consumer electronics manufacturers, and enterprise/small medium business (SMB) networking equipment.
Atheros' new implementation of 11n leverages a variety of range enhancement options to ensure that the high throughput levels achieved with the 3x3 MIMO configuration are maintained across the entire WLAN link.
- Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) guards against packet loss at every point on the link.
- Maximum Likelihood Demodulation (MLD) optimizes MIMO demodulation to boost signal strength at close range.
- Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) focuses transmit signals to the receiver to enhance the link rate at mid-range on the link continuum.
- Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) enables the receiver to optimally combine the MIMO signal paths, aligning time and phase of the signal receive to extend link reliability at longer range.
Atheros calculates that this combination of features results in a median rate-over-range improvement across the entire link of approximately 50 percent versus conventional 2x2 MIMO 11n solutions. Performance is maximized when products on both ends of the link are based on XSPAN with SST3, however the technology provides performance benefits when connected to all 11n solutions, and offers backward compatibility with 11g- and 11a/g-based devices.


text: In trying to think ahead a bit (I'm still wiring away) I want to make some decisions on scenery. The one thing that has me a bit puzzled is how I'm ever going to handle what is at the edge of the layout and beyond:confused : My layout is free standing, the closest wall is 24" from the edge of the layout. I am interested in learning how others handle the situation like this. With track laid to within 3" to 6" on all sides I am going to need to construct some sort of retaining devise to keep from picking up my rolling stock off the concrete floor I had thought about backdrops and all that business, but if I hang something like that against the wall it looses its effectiveness and I'm not really certain about hanging it so it just touches the edge of the layout (not a substitute for something for rolling stock safety along the edge). By hanging it right next to the edge of the layout and away from the wall it would have little or no stability and I visualize it billowing like a bed sheet on the clothes line The other downer for hanging backdrops right next to the edge of the layout would be that you would then only be able to view and operate from two sides instead of all four. Would I just be better off to forget the backdrop (I'd probably need them on two sides) and concentrate on creating something along the edge of the layout to both protect and define the end of the scenery on the table? I'm open to any and all suggestions Bob

Rosie learned to run sentences together in Northern Ireland where she was born. After a law degree at Cambridge, she trained as a solicitor with maps of the Sandringham estate holding up her wonky desk. While her three children were little, she wrote freelance (about anything at all) for the Evening Standard in Max Hastings' days, the Independent on Sunday, Sunday Tribune and various magazines.
The idea was that journalism would limber Rosie up for fictional writing and it did teach her to make words clear, short and to the point. Rosie spent years studying writing wherever she could and learned bucket loads about growing fictional characters, crafting your plot and how rejections toughen you up. One day a contract for her first novel arrived, so unexpectedly she was sure it was meant for somebody else. But it was hers. Rosie has since been published in Dublin, London and Belfast.
Coinciding with one of those patches where 'life events' get in the way of our plans, poetry has come to the fore with three books published by Dennis Greig of Lapwing Publications. Rosie's short poems nearly missed Dennis's attention. He had the grandkids round to play, gave them sheaves of paper and crayons to play with, turned one of the masterpieces over as he was clearing up and saw Rosie's submission of a few poems. He decided on the spot to publish them, as Sweet Seventeens. Between 2014 and 2018 Rosie was poet in residence for Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust and is currently Chair of the Association Committee at Churchill College, Cambridge where she has led the Churchill Writers group since 2011.
She is working on a non-fiction book to explore and share understanding of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The 'wee poems' keep coming too and Rosie can be found reading them from time to time to audiences, usually in and around London. If she's further afield, it's probably as one of Peter Pegnall's Bright Scarf poets alongside Peter, Dominic James and Quentin Chowdry, or with Sue Rose as the Poetry Roses.
You will find several Rosie Johnstons on Google, busy all over the world. There's an Australian celebrity make-up artist (Rosie Jane Johnston), a fine artist also in Australia (Rosie Wingrove Johnston), a Rosie Johnston who produces and directs opera (for Opera Unlimited) and another who works for Radio Prague.
There's even an English one who did time in jail for murder and wrote a memoir about it. If you've read The Most Intimate Place, you could be forgiven for deducing from its prison detail that the Rosie of this website and she are the same person but they are not. The research for The Most Intimate Place came from ten years as a prison visitor. This Rosie wishes all other Rosie Johnstons every success and happiness.

Over the past few years, I have been taking out a huge order from the Original Peking Restaurant in El Cerrito almost every Sunday. From the renowned sesame chicken and fresh crab and lobster, to the perfectly crunchy crispy chicken and decadent Mongolian lamb, I must have eaten half the menu. Now, quite suddently, it all may be over: effective this month, the Original Peking Restaurant is under new management with a new menu.
How does the new kitchen stack up? Here's a brief roundup of this past Sunday's order.
Wonton Soup: The earlier recipe was characterized by a moderate number of plump wonton with tender, easily torn/shredded skins in a rich broth. The new recipe is about the opposite: a bevy of small dumplings in firmer, yellower skins (more like gyoza wrappers), in a weak broth without a distinct chicken or seafood flavor note (and even a bit undersalted). Not recommended.
Sesame Chicken: The earlier recipe featured plump chunks of chicken, lightly floured and deep fried, coated thinly with a frankly sweet red sauce and sprinkled generously with sesame seeds. Much has changed, starting with the thicker batter used on the chicken pieces. The sauce is a more natural honey color, but poured on in quantity, making the chicken a bit soggy. Sesame seeds are in shorter supply, but broccoli has been added (I imagine that those dining in might see an attractive plating of shrimp in a broccoli ring). Nothing special.
Snow Pea Prawns: There is little magic to this dish, the key being the use of sparkling fresh snow peas and plump, fresh shrimp. The new recipe uses somewhat smaller shrimp, and adds baby corn; the scent was a bit fishy, and the snow peas unattractively spotted. Sadly, not an improvement.
Kung Pao Prawns: Inexplicably omitted from the new menu, but readily available, this is a dish that seems more than most others to vary among Chinese restaurants. While both recipes use stir-fried shrimp (I've been served battered and fried!), the vegetable medley has shifted, featuring a strong dose of green bell peppers and celery, and the sauce, formerly a lightly applied spicy brown, now is thicker, redder, and more assertive, more Sriracha than dried red chillies. I prefer the older style.
Crispy Chicken with Hot Sauce: A small chicken deep fried without breading, chopped and served on the bone with a hot dipping sauce, was one of our favorites, a low-guilt fried chicken. While the new menu does not list this dish, the kitchen does make it and although the sauce is quite different, the meat was done just right. This dish is a winner.
Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce: Little change here; the broccoli stems could be a bit more tender.
At this point, the restaurant has moved from column "A" to column "C." It is not completely fair to compare so early in the transition, so I hope that others will report back over time to see how they progress. We probably will check it again in a couple months.

Ideally, you should install any new MainBoss license keys as soon as you receive them. This will ensure that no difficulties occur when you install new updates of MainBoss software.
However, there's one exception to this rule: if you are running an older version of MainBoss and you license a MainBoss module that is newer than the version you are running, do not enter the keys for that module until you have installed the newest version of MainBoss.
For example, suppose you license the Web Access module. That module was introduced in MainBoss 3.2 Update 1. If you are running a version of MainBoss older than 3.2 Update 1, you should not enter the Web Access license key. Update your version of MainBoss to the newest version, then enter the key. Otherwise, the old software will give an error message and mark the key as unusable. From this point on, MainBoss will ignore the key.
In order to get around this problem, you must delete the key, install the newest version of MainBoss, then add the key again.
You will receive an error message saying "Licenses cannot be used as found" or "No valid license keys found". MainBoss will then go to its "Select MainBoss Organization" window.
These messages typically mean that your existing license keys are out of date. You must enter new ones before MainBoss will work. If your annual support is current, you should have been mailed new keys; if not, contact firstname.lastname@example.com for help.
To enter license keys in this situation, follow these steps:

There are SO many great websites now to find recipes. This one came out really good and it was the first time I had bought a spaghetti squash, let alone cooked it AND enjoyed the result. I served it with turkey meatballs and a little 'pasta sauce' and I can't wait to make it again.
I'll post the turkey meatball recipe next and what I used for sauce to make it a meal.
People seem to compare this type of squash to pasta. Obviously because it is stringy like spaghetti. But, as a pasta lover, there is definitely a difference. That being said, I have found that my tastes have quickly changed and I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. Just can't say it made me feel like I was eating pasta. I did feel like I was eating something good that tasted good though!

Carlo's presentation, 'What you should know about Big Data – the next big thing', has raised a great deal of interest amongst the crowd, dissecting the essentials that are behind Big Data, the value they create for athletes, the media and fans alike – when combined with technology and put into the right perspective.
The creation of smart data along with the provision of the right type of intelligence can create significant value whilst leading to a multi-dimensional evolution for sports and the ecosystem around them.
The video of Carlo's case-study can be found below. SportsFeatures has also interviewed Carlo at the end of this presentation at the IF Forum, and the text can be read at this link.

Garden room - toilet waste!
Hi, I have been browser of this forum for a long time and I am now wondering if anyone would have any advice for me. I have just had planning permission granted for a garden room, which will be used as an office and ancillary accommodation. We have already come across the first hurdle, a plumber has told us that in order to have a toilet, we would need to dig a trench through our neighbours garden to get to the mains soil pipe. This is out of the question so I am hoping there will be another solution. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Re: Garden room - toilet waste!
Hi brook cottage welcome to the Lane.
Ive not really got any advice to offer I'm afraid other than how about one of those saniflo systems I'm sure someone with some know how will be along soon.

Re: Garden room - toilet waste!
I guess a cesspit/septic tank would work too - I have one here.
I suppose a compost loo in the garden would be out of the question?

I'd look at an earth closet or compost loo, lots of benefits if you can get your head round them!

Re: Garden room - toilet waste!
Is it a plumber you have used before? If not then I would get a second opinion, surely the thing would be to dig up your garden to connect to your mains?
Not that I know anything about plumbing of course
Re: Garden room - toilet waste!
It not just a matter of connecting up to your own mains Mrs B, you have to make sure that the fall of the new pipe can be accomodated, curently between 18mm and 90mm per metre of soil pipe for the new pipe to work properly.
Depending how far the new toilet is from Brook Cotteges own mains that may not have been possible But i,m still very impressed with you girls drain knowledge.
Dont ever grow up, its a trap
Re: Garden room - toilet waste!
That definitely deserves a CKK

Council to be sued after man falls from ladder
A HERVEY Bay man is suing Fraser Coast Regional Council after he fell from a ladder in 2009 while he was employed by the council as a carpenter.
James Milling was granted an extension of time to lodge a claim in the Brisbane District Court.
Mr Milling, now 62, fell off a ladder while working at council in 2009 and hurt his back and was able to return to work a week later.
The judgment states Mr Milling re-injured his back while at work in August 2010 and again in May 2011.
"The applicant returned to full duties on 27 June 2011, and was able to cope with his work with only occasional lower back pain until May 2013, when one night he woke in severe pain with difficulty in moving, numbness to his left leg and foot drop," the judgment reads.
Mr Milling was given the all-clear to return to work in September 2013. A report conducted in December 2013 found Mr Milling would be able to complete his duties but would need some assistance.
"His uncontradicted evidence however was that he was not either told this by the occupational therapist or provided with a copy of this report at that time," the judgment reads.
A second doctor's report in February this year found Mr Milling was no longer able to perform many of his duties and he was placed on leave until he lost his job in September.
"It was submitted for the respondent that the applicant well knew after the surgery in June 2013 that his employment was at risk," the judgment reads.
Judge Douglas McGill granted the extension of time for Mr Milling to lodge the claim.
A council spokesman said it was inappropriate to comment as court proceedings were continuing.

12 October 2017 -- The total number of persons that suffer from hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean has increased, reversing decades of progress, even as overweight and obesity emerged as a major problem in all countries in the region of the Americas, a United Nations-backed report shows.
"The region has taken a significant step backwards in a fight that it was winning," Julio Berdegu", Regional Representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said Thursday. "We cannot tolerate the current levels of hunger and obesity, as they will paralyze an entire generation."
Hunger rates have declined in 21 of the 27 countries of the region in recent years, but the absolute number of people suffering from hunger increased, according to the report published by FAO and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
In 2016, some 42.5 million people in the region did not have enough food for their daily caloric needs, a six per cent increase, or 2.4 million additional undernourished people.
"It will be very difficult for the region to reach Sustainable Development Goal 2 on eradicating hunger and malnutrition by 2030" if this trend does not change, said Mr. Berdegu".
Only a few decades ago, governments of the region joined forces to fight against acute malnutrition, chronic malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency. Today they must also fight against overweight and obesity.
"The region faces a double burden of malnutrition," said PAHO Director Carissa F. Etienne.
Overweight and obesity continue to affect all age groups
Overweight and obesity is a public health problem in all countries of the Americas, affecting all age groups.
Some 7.5 per cent of those under the age of five in South America, or 2.5 million children, suffer from overweight and obesity, as do six per cent of the children in Central America and 6.9 per cent of those in the Caribbean. The rate increases with age, affecting a third of the adolescents and two thirds of the adults in the region, with women being the most affected.
The problem is growing in scale to catch up with the region"s 11 per cent rate of child stunting due to chronic malnutrition.

maemo jobs - new position again
our colleague Kristiina Saaristo has posted again new position - "Maemo Developer Advocate @ Nokia" As it stated there,

books and digital e-ink revolution coming
reading article "The Google Book Store, Coming Soon To A Browser Near You" @ TC , I had some thoughts, which most probably other people share too.
somehow I feel vary about "paper -> digital" books transition presumably-closer-in-time - on one hand, emotionally and sub-consciously paper has more traits than digital: digital e-ink has no smell, feeling of age in book, you can't do handmade notes with distinctive personal touch, etc-etc-etc, leave alone difference in human perception between light screen vs reflecting paper
on the other hand - digital books have full text index, you can search in them, have wild amount of meta possible, etc-etc-etc
so this is not exactly win-loose game - it should take some more time, no matter what would-be digital printing suppliers and Co would like us to believe ...
on the other hand, our children (probably) and grand-...-children (most probably) will have perception of paper as something _ancient_
and the other aspect - somehow digital _printing_ I perceive as unsustainable i.e. one have to rely on rather complex infrastructure, which is not necessarily reproducible with simple tools
here and there I see examples of calculations "how ebooks are more green and mean and lean" while it is common knowledge (or is it?) that electronic waste is one of worst forms of pollution, both during production and rest of life cycle, and ethical producers are not that cheap.
and there is no guarantee that digital _books_ will survive in long term, as paper one do sometimes - usually they are made as short-term cheap-o-device... so are we going to put our future to be bet for e-ink pushers?

gift of alternative energy
Going to office supply yesterday through underground garage, I stopped my sight on moving crates - they had "to dumpster" sign, yet another unpleasant reminder of cutbacks, cost savings, people leaving and other redundancies (I don't like term "downsizing" for all its Catbertish cynical meaning). Among those was a pile of old unstrapped folders, and since I was about to take any folder, I took one from top. It was moment of wow! Folder was full of copies (no, unfortunately not originals) of Home Power. The pile had almost all subscription self-printed or copied (tough to say) and accurately packed into folders, apparently by someone who had left work for company.
I knew about Home Power since mid-of-90's when I got to Internet. Time to time my mind had been returning to them, either bumping into old archive or just thinking on alternative power. But recent few months I was thinking more and more about alternative energy sources, and voila -- here it is, in your hands. I've rescued all folders, and took few home, so I will have a pleasant reading for next few weekends, or may be longer.

Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills fell in Monday's auction with rates on three-month bills dropping to the lowest level since the financial crisis in December 2008.
The Treasury Department auctioned $29 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.01 percent, down from 0.02 percent last week. Another $27 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.055 percent, down from 0.06 percent last week.
The three-month rate was the lowest since three-month bills averaged 0.005 percent on Dec. 8, 2008. The six-month rate was the lowest since these bills averaged 0.045 percent on Oct. 11.
The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,999.75 while a six-month bill sold for $9,997.22. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.01 percent for the three-month bills and 0.056 percent for the six-month bills.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable rate mortgages, was unchanged at 0.12 percent last week, the same as the previous week.

Positivie Classroom Discipline
Fred Jones's positive classroom discipline
[Name of the writer]
[Name of the institution]
Fred Jones's positive classroom discipline
Jones, who has spent more than two decades studying the socialization of children and nowg conducts workshops on his techniques, defines classroom discipline as "the business of enforcing classroom standards and building patterns of cooperation to maximize learning and minimize disruptions." (Charney, 1992) "Classroom management procedures must be positive" Jones says. "They must affirm the student, set limits, and build cooperation in the absence of coercion. They must be gentle." And, he says: "They must be economical--practical, simple, and easy to use once mastered. They must ultimately reduce the teacher's workload." Unless teachers learn to discipline properly--with a cost-effective set of high-level professional skills, Jones warns, they will become tired and frustrated and lose their capacity to be nurturing or even to care. "The advanced state of this exhaustion and exasperation, which is epidemic, is called burnout," he says. (Charney, 1992) That's how Cheryl Wilcox felt after eight years teaching seventh-graders at Park View Middle School, in Yucaipa, California. "I was so burnt out and frustrated, I was thinking about quitting the education business," she says. "But after I learned to arrange my classroom to my advantage, to clearly explain to my students what I wanted, and most important to 'shut up, slow down, relax, get close, and kill time,' I put myself back in control of the situation without creating confrontation," says Wilcox. "Jones' workshops taught me that when you get upset, you immediately begin to spin your wheels and go nowhere." In the past, it was far more common for a teacher to reach for a paddle or to eject a misbehaving student from the classroom in hopes of maintaining order. But most states have banned the paddle, and school officials realize that, unless the incident involves weapons, violence, or drugs, throwing students out of class defeats the learning process. As a result, teachers have turned to alternative methods. (Charney, 1992) Independence High School, in Glendale, Arizona, has adopted Teen Court as an alternative to suspension. The program, implemented as a partnership with the YMCA, is designed to put the power of law and positive peer pressure into the hands of the students. Once the option of Teen Court has been offered to a student and the student has accepted guilt for the offense, the student is expected to bring a parent to Teen Court, where the evidence is heard and a 12-member student jury imposes a sentence, such as community service, a seminar on alcohol abuse or similar topic, or service on the Teen Court itself. "The purpose of Teen Court is to encourage students to become self-directed learners," says Principal Ron Gardner. And, in the process, "they also learn about judicial proceedings."
Do Something Positive
Prince William County Schools, in Woodbridge, Virginia, is considering having students suspended for truancy spend their time cleaning up graffiti on school and public buildings. Instead of sitting in front of the television at home all day, truants should be forced to do something positive that would benefit their peers and the community, suggests board member Charlie Colgan. (Kaplan, Carter, 1995) The school district is "looking into this idea," says Associate Superintendent Jack Lynch. Once the district makes sure the students would be properly supervised, district officials will recommend to the superintendent that community service projects be used as a discipline alternative. Students at Tavan Elementary School, in Phoenix, get one to three points each time they misbehave. If they get 10 points, they have to bring their parents to see the principal. If they get three more points, they are suspended. However, good behavior reaps tangible...
