Non-Invasive Flow Measurement of High-Temperature Steam
The FLUXUS ST-HT is the world's first and only clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for high-temperature steam. The new measuring system precisely records volume and mass flow rates of saturated and superheated steam at 750 °F.
FLUXUS ST-HT is a non-invasive steam flow sensor. Using simple clamp-on ultrasonic transducers, installing and testing in minimal time and no pipe penetrations are required. Non-invasive steam flow measurement means measuring flow without breaking the integrity of the pipe.
The FLUXUS ST-HT, an extension of FLEXIM's existing steam flow meter FLUXUS ST, offers a wide turndown ratio up to 25:1. It has exceptionally high measuring dynamics and functions independently of the flow direction. While the FLUXUS ST can withstand temperatures up to 360 °F, the new FLUXUS ST-HT can be used up to 750 °F in pipes up to 35.5" in diameter.

Stationary Ultrasonic Clamp-On System for Flow Measurement of Compressed Air and Other Industrial Gases
Compressed air is a costly source of energy due to its efficiency. For each joule of mechanical work performed with a pneumatic instrument, it takes approximately 20 times the electrical power to produce and store the air. However, despite this low yield, compressed air is indispensable in many industries due to its production-related advantages, which makes it all the more crucial that the compressed air's use is as efficient as possible.
Calculation of energy use is essential. By accurately detecting current air volume flow, a device's pneumatic components can be assessed cost-effectively by quickly and accurately identifying potential overloads (such as when air velocities are too high) or piping network malfunctions. The precise distribution of consumption proportions to individual output stages provides possibilities for fact-based, economic decisions. Moreover, the volume-flow calculation shows the amount of compressed air lost due to leaks – a significant financial consideration - as every third air compressor in place is only there to compensate for air losses.
The compressed air flow meter FLUXUS G721 CA from FLEXIM is the perfect solution. FLEXIM's non-invasive clamp-on ultrasonic technology is remarkable in that it works at low pressures (down to 3bar on steel lines and atmospheric pressure on plastic pipes). The FLUXUS G721 CA reliably captures minimal flow rates, allowing the discovery of the smallest leaks.

Process Analytics by Inline Refractometry
Refractometry - in other words, the measurement of light refraction - is a well-established method of choice for determining the concentration, density and purity of many liquids.
By measuring the refractive index directly within the process, PIOX® R allows for a highly accurate measurement, long term reliability and continuous quality management either in hygienic and ultra-clean sanitary or harsh industrial environments with high process pressures, temperatures and corrosive media.
Unlike other available measurement technologies, FLEXIM's PIOX® R employs its patented transmitted light principle and thus never bears the risk of measurement drift and false readings from deposit build up at the prism.
The unrivaled design and the integrated diagnostic tools moreover allow for very cost effective and predictive maintenance intervals.
- Patented transmitted light measurement principle - offers completely drift free, precise and long term stable measuring
- No flow velocity needed - which is required from conventional technologies
- Highly precise optical measurement technology offering laboratory accuracy in real-time
- Measurement unaffected by gas bubbles and turbidity as well as the media's viscosity
- Internal self-diagnostic tools for predictive and very cost effective maintenance efforts

Process Instrumentation and COVID: The UK Adopts Clamp-on Flowmeters in Hospitals for Oxygen Monitoring
Since the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, the UK's NHS hospitals have had a concern about the limitation in oxygen flow, especially with the increased use of high flow devices such as ventilators and the significant increase in ICU beds across NHS facilities. Due to these concerns, and the limitations with the existing telemetry on the VIE (Vacuum Insulated Evaporator), NHS facilities have seen the importance of having their own live telemetry reporting O2 flow rates through their systems.
- Live oxygen consumption data across many sites
- Improved O2 usage visibility
- Proactive O2 management minimizing negative patient impact
- Portable O2 meters also available from FLEXIM for spot checks across sites

Importers have a list of requirements to fulfill to ensure U.S. customs clear their goods. The paperwork is often complex, and besides running a business and trying to make a living, importers have many things to remember. Do not let Customs Bond renewal get lost in the tangle of your to-do list.
FAQs & more
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires a customs bond for the import of commercial goods valued at over $2,500 regardless of transportation method. Additionally, a bond is required for Chinese goods valued at over $250.
The Customs Bond is a financial agreement between three parties – the Surety, Principal, and CBP. It permits the CBP to make a claim against the customs bond if the Principal neglects to pay the exact amount of money for taxes and duties based on the import transaction. The bond holds businesses accountable to pay duties.
One of the most frequently asked questions regarding bond renewal is whether it terminates automatically with customs at the end of the year. The answer lies in the type of bond you have chosen.
A single-entry bond has a one-time use, meaning it only covers single import transactions. For this reason, regular importers typically choose to go with a continuous bond. This bond is valid for a year on the date of inception at an annual fixed rate, therefore more cost-effective, and covers all import shipments.
The renewal process affords importers and their surety company (the insurance company authorized by the Treasury Department to write customs bonds) with an opportunity to review the bond and determine whether to make any adjustments.
Am I reminded when to renew?
If you are concerned that you will miss your bond renewal deadline, fear not. Before its expiration date, you receive a bond renewal invoice. Your customs broker or the freight forwarder will inform you of the payment deadline. This is essential because if you are a regular importer and forget bond renewal, you can suddenly have your goods stuck in customs and face substantial penalties.
To sidestep this, often freight forwarders and broker companies offer importers multi-year bond renewal compensation plans. Some companies offer 2,3, or even 5-year plans for advanced renewal payments. Besides often including a discount for these plans, this option ensures that your bond is automatically renewed annually. In other words, they do the paperwork, and you have one less thing on your to-do list.
Whether you opt for such a plan or not, you must renew your customs bond on the precise date of its inception.
Can I renew online?
Customs bonds are one of many costs related to international shipping. There are several online solutions for filing and meeting CBP requirements. Digitalization of the process saves importers effort, time, and money – especially important for SMBs.
eezyimport offers importers the most advanced, accessible, user-friendly, and cost-efficient online customs clearance solution. The eezyflow™ system enables importers to self-file the Entry Summary and ISF and thereby meet all CBP customs clearance requirements. One of the requirements is the customs bond, which importers can also purchase from eezyimport.
eezyimport is a solution dedicated to your growth and success!

If Messiah has already come, why isn't there peace? by Sam Nadler The story goes something like this: A person considering whether Yeshua (the Jewish way of saying Jesus) is the Messiah, asks his Rabbi, "Could it be that Messiah has come and that Yeshua is His name?" The Rabbi walks over to the window, looks around, shakes his head and with a sigh exclaims: "He can't be the true Messiah. There's still no peace. We know that when Messiah comes there will be peace everywhere." Is it true that Messiah is to bring peace? And if Yeshua is the Messiah, then where's the peace? The Promise of Peace The desire for peace is universal among the sane nations of this world. The idea of peace means much more than merely the end of political hostilities. The Hebrew word 'Shalom' has in it the idea of 'completeness' or 'wholeness'. Because of sin we're all 'incomplete'. The scriptures tell us that sin separates us from God, from each other, and from even ourselves. The Shalom of God fulfills us perfectly and completely. This is also the very desire of God, who in Aaron's blessing states, "May the Lord give you peace" (Numbers 6:26); the Psalmist writes "The Lord will bless His people with peace" (Psalm 29:11); and in the Prophets, Messiah is even called "Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). In fact, when Messiah reigns peace will be His Kingdom's theme (Isaiah 2:1-4; 9:4-5, 7; Zechariah. 9:9-10; etc.). The universal peace of Messiah is based on everyone first having personal peace through a right relationship with God: "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." (Isaiah 26:3) Thus when each person receives peace from God, then each one can share and live in that peace within their family, community, country and world. Peace is like having a million dollars to give to a friend: if you don't have it, of course, you can't give it. The Rejection of Peace The Scriptures prophesy that God's peace would actually be rejected when it would be offered. Isaiah the Prophet wrote that Messiah, the Prince of Peace, would come to make peace between God and His people, and that Messiah would be rejected. When Messiah would be rejected the peace He brings would be rejected with Him. Why would Messiah be rejected? 1) "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should be attracted to Him." (Isaiah 53:2) For people attracted to externals, Messiah would be too ordinary looking. There was nothing about His appearance to command our attention. It was His internal character that made Him "stand out"- for those who were looking. 2) "He was a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. Surely, He took upon Himself our griefs and sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God and afflicted by Him." (Isaiah 53:3-4) For people desirous of comfort and convenience, this one suffered too much. How could one suffer so much at the hands of religious people and the government, and not be judged by God? In any case, no decent person wants to associate with someone who attracts trouble the way this "Messiah" did! But He suffered for our sins and not His own: "The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6) 3) "He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, as a sheep before the shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth." (Isaiah 53:7) He was too compliant, too passive. He wasn't exactly the "John Wayne" type of warrior King. Many wanted a Messiah who would come to vanquish the enemies of Israel and thus have a forced peace. His humility was despised and rejected, for He came not to protect His own life, but to be an offering for our sins: "the Lord makes His life a guilt offering." (Isaiah 53:10) Now suppose I came to your house with a beautiful cake (my father always taught me not to visit empty handed), but as soon as you saw me you slammed the door in my face! Would you expect to get the cake? Of course not! Reject me, and you reject all that I bring with me. So, why isn't there "peace"? Reject the 'Prince of Peace' and you reject the very peace that He brings. The Provision of Peace The New Covenant Scriptures repeat the promise of Isaiah 26:3 (see above). All who will trust in Messiah and the atonement that He made for sins, receives... 1) peace with God, 2) peace of mind and heart, and 3) peace with one another: 1) "Therefore, since we're made right with God by faith, we have peace with God through Yeshua Hamashiach Adoneinu [our Lord Yeshua the Messiah]." (Romans 5:1). 2) "The peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Messiah Yeshua." (Philippians 4:7) 3) "Messiah is our peace, who has made the two (Jews and Gentiles) one…one new person, thus making peace." (Ephesians 2:14-15) The Scriptures also teach that one day our people, Israel, will acknowledge the Messiah and receive His salvation and peace "The stone which the builders rejected shall become the capstone!" (Psalms 118:22-26). In light of that event, we are commanded to "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalms 122:6). In that day, peace will be worldwide, even as the Scriptures promised. An illustration of that coming day was seen in Israel: An Israeli soldier, who believes in Yeshua, was on patrol one night in Gaza. The others in his squad had him, the "believer", investigate a suspiciously parked van. The driver turned out to be a Palestinian pastor, a believer in Yeshua, visiting some of his congregants. To the amazement of the on-looking squad, here was an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian rejoicing in fellowship in the Gaza moonlight. Yeshua is Israel's hope for peace. Until that coming day, each one of us can right now have peace with God in our own hearts, and with each other by 'trusting' in Israel's Messiah Yeshua. "Trusting" the Lord begins by recognizing that the world's peace plans nor our own strategies for personal peace have not worked, nor will they work. Messiah Yeshua is God's way to have peace in your life and "peace on earth, goodwill to all people." Sam Nadler - Word of Messiah Ministries Phone/Fax

by Patrick Vernon and Angelina Osborne - £9.99 Little, Brown Book Group (2021)
A long-overdue book honouring the remarkable achievements of key Black British individuals over many centuries, in collaboration with the 100 Great Black Britons campaign founded and run by Patrick Vernon OBE.
Patrick Vernon's landmark 100 Great Black Britons campaign of 2003 was one of the most successful movements to focus on the role of people of African and Caribbean descent in British history.
Frustrated by the widespread and continuing exclusion of the Black British community from the mainstream popular conception of 'Britishness', despite Black people having lived in Britain for over a thousand years, Vernon set up a public poll in which anyone could vote for the Black Briton they most admired. The response to this campaign was incredible. As a result, a number of Black historical figures were included on the national school curriculum and had statues and memorials erected and blue plaques put up in their honour.
Mary Seacole was adopted by the Royal College of Nursing and was given the same status as Florence Nightingale. Children and young people were finally being encouraged to feel pride in their history and a sense of belonging in Britain. Now, with this book, Vernon and Osborne have relaunched the campaign with an updated list of names and accompanying portraits - including new role models and previously little-known historical figures.
Each entry explores in depth the individual's contribution to British history - a contribution that too often has been either overlooked or dismissed. In the wake of the 2018 Windrush scandal, and against the backdrop of Brexit, the rise of right-wing populism and the continuing inequality faced by Black communities across the UK, the need for this campaign is greater than ever.

Top bantamweight contender Miesha Tate made her case for another shot at the 135-pound crown Saturday night at United Center in Chicago, scoring a gritty three-round unanimous decision over Jessica Eye in the UFC Fight Night co-main event.
All three judges saw it 30-27, for the number two-ranked Tate, now 17-5; the number five-ranked Eye falls to 11-3, 1 NC.
RELATED CONTENT: Fight Night Chicago Embedded: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4 | Miesha Tate - Warrior Code | Tate & Eye Square Off | Miesha Tate - Backstage Interview
Tate, who has lost bouts to current UFC bantamweight queen Ronda Rousey for the UFC and Strikeforce titles, now hopes for a third crack at the unbeaten "Rowdy" Ronda, who is set to defend her title against Bethe Correia in Brazil on August 1.
Eye calmly controlled the action in the early stages of the bout, easily ripping off combinations that reddened Tate's face. Midway through the round, Eye rocked Tate briefly, but the Las Vegan quickly recovered. Finally, with under two minutes left, Tate sprang into action, missing on a takedown, but dropping Eye with a right to the head moments later. Now on the mat, Tate was in her world, and a series of hard ground strikes finished the round strong for "Cupcake."
Tate's right hand continued to land in round two, but a follow-up clinch against the fence produced no further success. Eye, who landed a hard elbow at close range, aggressively chased her foe after they broke, but counters by Tate slowed the Clevelander down momentarily. Midway through the frame, the right hand of Tate produced another knockdown, but Eye recovered quickly. "Evil" wasn't able to get back to her feet though, as Tate landed several punches to the body and nearly pulled off a guillotine choke before the horn intervened.
After the two kept it standing for the first three minutes of the final round, Tate got the bout back to the mat and took Eye's back, but referee Yves Lavigne surprisingly stood the fighters with 30 seconds left. Eye landed some good knees in a subsequent clinch, but this one was going to the scorecards.
BARBOZA vs. FELDER
There were no takedowns, no ground work, and no lack of action in the lightweight bout between number seven-ranked Edson Barboza and Paul Felder, who both put on an exciting striking clinic before Barboza emerged with the three-round unanimous decision win.
Scores were 29-28 across the board.
RELATED CONTENT: Edson Barboza Backstage Interview
The punches and kicks thrown by Barboza and Felder weren't designed to find range – they were delivered with fight-ending intentions. Felder's left hook started swelling Barboza's right eye almost immediately, but the Brazilian's kicks to the body and legs were doing plenty of damage of their own. A spinning back kick by Barboza brought an abrupt halt to the bout with under two minutes left when it landed low, but the gutsy Philadelphian shook it off and the two got back to business, Barboza scoring with the more significant blows.
The high-level striking action didn't let up in the second round, and while Barboza landed the shots that produced audible smacks upon landing and garnered oohs and aahs from the crowd, the aggressive Felder kept pressing his opponent while getting in more than his share of shots.
Finally in the third, Barboza's patient and punishing attack pushed him to a comfortable lead, not that it stopped Felder's attempts to end the fight in flashy fashion. But this entertaining 15-minute bout belonged to the Rio de Janeiro native, who improves to 16-3. Felder suffers his first pro loss, falling to 10-1.
LAUZON vs. GOMI
The UFC's all-time bonus king, Joe Lauzon, had a tough assignment in fighting his MMA hero Takanori Gomi, but the New England lightweight got the job done, stopping the Japanese star in a single round.
"He's a legend of the sport, one of the guys I idolized when I was in high school and college, so it was pretty cool to be in the cage with him, kinda crappy that you have to hurt your hero, but that's the way it goes," Lauzon said.
RELATED CONTENT: Fight Night Chicago: Joe Lauzon Backstage Interview
Gomi took an early lead behind his striking attack, but you just had a feeling that Lauzon was waiting for his chance to get the fight to the mat, and once he found that opportunity, he took it, got the former PRIDE champion down, and in a scramble, he took his foe's back. Once there, Lauzon surprisingly didn't look for a submission, but instead, he flattened out "The Fireball Kid" and ended the bout with a series of unanswered strikes, referee Herb Dean stopping the bout at 2:37 of the opening frame.
With the win, Lauzon moves to 25-11; Gomi falls to 35-11 with 1 NC.

About myself
My name is Ollivier Robert, also known as "roberto" or "Keltia" or "Keltounet" in various areas (social media, IRC), about 50 right now.
Working in computer science for more than 30 years now, mostly on UNIX-based systems like FreeBSD or Linux.
After being an Internet & Security Consultant at a small but well-known agency called HSC between 1994 and 1996, I was hired as Information Security Officer at a european agency called EUROCONTROL (or ECTL to make it shorter). Since then, I had several different positions there and now, I'm again Information Security Officer, now at Agency-level.
My résumé can be found here, more data on my LinkedIn site (see below).
Areas of interest
My main interests in life, after my family and friends are, in no particular order:
- Reading lots of books, mainly Sci-Fi and Fantasy ones. I'm a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien but George R.R. Martin, C.S. Friedman and Patricia Keneally-Morrison are among my favorites (you will understand why my domain is named Keltia …). Recently, I've read novels from Anne Bishop, the writing is not so great but I like the story and characters; and the Vlad Thaltos novels from Steven Brust for fun. More recently, I've read novels from Lynn Flewelling (incl. The Bone Doll's Twin and its following). Self-publishing is all the rage now, especially for ebooks and Lindsay Buroker is one of them, steam-punk kind of fantasy, I like her a lot.
My Goodreads profile with most of my books is there.
Cryptography has been of interest to me even before I owned my first computer (a ZX-81 if you want to know) back in 1980… My list of previously owned computers include an Oric Atmos, a Sinclair QL and various PCes.
Photography in case you haven't noticed on the site before :)
Typography is also something I'm interested in, mostly French but also English as well. That includes fonts and how to write correctly.
I listen to music all the time. My favourite band is Dead Can Dance, closely followed by old songs from Deep Purple, Genesis, The Who, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and some Hard Rock/Metal like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Therion, Sabaton and Apocalyptica. I also like the music from Pat Benatar, Loreena McKennitt, Agnes Obel and many others. I'm also a big Count Basie and Miles Davis fan amongst many Jazz bands & singers.
Cats, I just love them.

For testing purposes, I created a new key using the ed25519 Elliptic Curve using GPG 2.1.21. You need at least 2.1 to create ECC keys. While it is not yet an IETF standard it is expected to be soonish. These keys are smaller, probably faster to handle and hopefully more secure than RSA.

Population Aging and Housing Space Needs in the Seoul Metropolitan Region
Simon Choi, Southern California Association of Governments
Seong-Kyu Ha, Chung-Ang University
The most significant demographic characteristic of the recent Korea population is aging. With world lowest birth rates and very limited international net immigration, Korea rapidly develops into an aging society. The purpose of this study is to estimate the future housing size demand of the Seoul Metropolitan Region in Korea, and to discuss housing policy responses to the low income and middle/large sized rental housing needs. The study uses a two step process of projecting middle/large sized rental housing needs. The first step is to develop total housing needs using the household headship rate method with assumptions of replacements needs and vacancy needs. The second step is to decompose projected housing units into different sized housing unit needs by tenure using household-housing transition probability. The study will also discuss housing policies to properly respond to the low income and large sized rental housing needs.

Korean culture conference makes Japan debut
The same goes for fans of K-pop stars.
Followers of these celebrities want more than to simply see their favorite singers perform at concerts or act on screen. They want to get to know them personally - finding out about the clothes they wear, the makeup they use, the food they eat, how they eat it and where they hang out.
Essentially, that's what KCON, one of Korea's largest conventions on so-called K-culture, hopes to provide. The event is organized by CJ E&M, also known as CJ Entertainment, the showbiz affiliate of CJ Group.
The annual convention, which concludes with a large-scale K-pop concert, began in 2012 in Los Angeles, a city with a large population of Koreans.
CJ Group executives, including Chairman Lee Jay-Hyun, has said on numerous occasions that the company's goal is to make people around the world watch two or three Korean films a year; eat Korean food once or twice a month; watch one or two Korean dramas a week; and listen to Korean music every day. CJ has film, food, restaurants, retail and logistics businesses, among others.
One of the conventions will be held in Japan for the first time this year. KCON 2015 Japan will start on April 22 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama amid soured bilateral ties between Seoul and Tokyo due to intensified historical and territorial disputes.
Why Japan and why now?
The word "CON" in KCON stands for three things - convention, concert and cultural content - three things visitors can experience at the event.
"In order to increase KCON's presence in 2015, we've added more destinations," CJ E&M said through a press release. "Besides Los Angeles, where it has been held every year, we've added the east side of the U.S. as well as Japan. A total of three KCONs will be held this year."
CJ E&M chose to hold a KCON in Japan as it has hosted the "M Countdown" K-pop concert in the nation around this time most years anyway and because it is where Hallyu, or the popularity of Korean pop culture abroad, began more than a decade ago.
The fervor has reportedly died down somewhat in Japan, but insiders have noted that this is more motivation for Korea's entertainment industry to focus on the market there. In Japan these days Korean stars are banned from appearing on morning shows, which are often platforms where foreign celebrities gain recognition, raising concerns that although there is a remaining dedication to existing stars, there aren't new fans of up-and-coming stars.
Business opportunities
What's notable about KCON is that it is aiming to help small and midsize companies with little marketing capabilities, resources or connections make a successful entry to the Japanese market and make the most of Hallyu.
A total 35 companies have been selected to present their offerings at KCON 2015 Japan - 24 of which are in the areas of fashion and cosmetics, three of which are in food and two of which are in home appliances.
What's interesting, according to CJ, is that about 70 percent of the companies going to KCON Japan have a track record of attempting to make inroads into the Japanese market and failing.
Separately from the April 22 KCON 2015 Japan - which will take place between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and is open to the general public - there will be another opportunity for the companies to promote themselves in Japan.
"In a separate event on April 20 planned by CJ E&M, SMBA and [the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency], the companies will get to have business meetings with about 70 to 80 Japanese buyers," said Jung Yu-jin, a senior analyst at CJ E&M's PR Team. The meetings will take place at Hotel New Otani Tokyo.
A star-studded spectacle
KCON 2015 Japan will close with a large-scale, star-studded K-pop concert.
"The lineup for the upcoming KCON 2015 Japan's M Countdown includes 10 solo artists and groups," CJ said in a press release on March 31.
The acts include boy bands Block B, Boyfriend, GOT7 and Infinite, and girl groups Lovelyz and SISTAR.
Nicole (a former member of KARA) and KangNam (or Namekawa Yasuo) will also perform.
KangNam, a Korean-Japanese member of the Korean boy band M.I.B., has been appointed as the honorary ambassador of KCON 2015 Japan. Fluent in both Korean and Japanese, the 28-year-old has been expanding his presence in Korea's entertainment shows with his witty comments and comical character.
The number of visitors to KCON has doubled every year since it first began in the United States in 2012, according to CJ. Last year's KCON in Los Angeles attracted about 40,000 people.
CJ officials expect KCON 2015 Japan to attract 14,000 to 15,000 visitors.
The date for KCON in the United States is expected to be in August.

This trail does not have any photos yet.
Be the first to add one!
The Lincoln Hill Pathway provides an uninterupted alternative to busy Lincoln Avenue (and busier US 101) via an "urban canyon" between the soundwalls of US 101 and the SMART commuter rail project. The path has a moderate grade that tunnels under Lincoln Avenue on- and off-ramps and includes access to Linden Lane.
The pathway connects to bike lanes on Los Ranchitos Road, and cyclists traveling north may want to use the bike lanes since the traffic signal at Merrydale Road and N. San Pedro Road is not bike or pedestrian activated and enters an area of busy traffic.
Along with the Cal Park Hill Tunnel farther south, the Lincoln Hill Pathway is a critical link in the North-South Greenway that Marin County is building to provide a non-motorized transportation corridor throughout the county.
There is no dedicated parking for the Lincoln Hill Pathway. The trail can be reached from Merrydale Road, Lincoln Avenue, Linden Lane, Belle Avenue, Paloma Avenue, Pacheco Street/Stevens Place and Mission Avenue.

Chips can fall out of chip credit cards, leaving consumers vulnerable
What to know to keep your credit card information safe.
— -- A new wrinkle in smart technology serves as a reminder for consumers to be cautious, as the tiny chip in your credit card can fall out and then be used by someone else to access your credit card information.
"They are on there pretty good, but a lot of wear and tear can cause issues with the underlying glue," Shawn Kanady of the cybersecurity firm Trustwave told ABC-owned Chicago station WLS-TV of the chips on chip-enabled credit and debit cards, adding that any card with a chip could be compromised if the chip falls off.
Jason Knowles, a reporter at WLS-TV said that he did not even notice at first when the tiny piece of technology fell out of his own card from JPMorgan Chase bank.
"I didn't realize for days because I was still allowed to swipe my card at many places with the magnetic strip," Knowles told WLS-TV. "When I called Chase they told me I had to get a new card with a new number because if someone found my chip intact, it could be placed on another card."
Kanady told WLS-TV, "You could probably even glue it on a business card. You just need that chip."
Kanady decided to see for himself how easily a chip hack could happen.
"I peeled off the chip of two cards and swapped them. I took that card to a retailer and ran a transaction. On the receipt, you could tell that it didn't match the card I actually used," Kanady said. "I suspected that it would work, but seeing is believing."
Jason Oxman, the CEO of the Electronic Transactions Association, told ABC News in a statement that "broken cards are an extremely rare occurrence and can be quickly replaced by issuing banks."
"Chip cards are the most secure physical cards in the 40 year history of the plastic credit card," Oxman added, saying that it is also important to note that "consumers have zero liability for fraud and are protected, even in the highly unlikely case that their card breaks."
A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase told ABC News that customers should call their card's issuer immediately if they have concerns about a card. In addition, the bank advised customers to monitor their accounts frequently for unusual activity and added that customers have zero liability if they find themselves victims of fraud, as long as they report it right away.

When I was younger, I thought winter was my favorite season (probably because I lived in Texas, and we didn't get any winter weather!). But now my absolute favorite season is definitely spring.
I've been enjoying making some spring vignettes in the kitchen, using the cheery yellow daffodils that grow in clumps in the woods behind our house.
I got this chalkboard from Hobby Lobby with a gift card a friend gave me for my birthday. I had been wanting a chalkboard like this for so long, so her gift was a real treat! 🙂
Did you know that daffodils also come in white? These are called poet's daffodils, and I just love them! They grow wild in the woods behind our house.
Life Lately
Last week we celebrated St. Patrick's Day. I wore my "kiss me I'm Irish" shirt (after promising my husband I would only wear it around him!).
We had a traditional meal of corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes (scalloped potatoes). One of the kids said, "Wow, Irish people eat good food!" 🙂 The kids also enjoyed these cookies and this punch made by my oldest daughter (links go to her blog, where she shared the recipes).
We really enjoyed this book about St. Patrick. It tells his story, drawing from his autobiography. So far it's our favorite children's book about his life.
Family Field Trip
Last week we also went back in time and pretended to be a Civil War-era family.
The last time we had an old-fashioned photo made (about 5 years ago), we dressed up as a late-Victorian family. I like the hoop skirts better, but I wouldn't have liked having to wear them in everyday life. They're very inconvenient for walking through doorways and things!
Free Clothes
Another highlight of last week was receiving a box of free clothes from ThredUP (paid for with referral credits)!
I decided that my spring/summer wardrobe is going to be made up of primarily knee-length skirts, and I was happy that these three will fill in a gap in my closet (since I only have a couple of other skirts that length).
One of them is Gap, one is Banana Republic, and the striped one is from Talbots. They look practically brand new!
They all fit perfectly, so now I'm kind of hoping I won't lose weight! Have you ever had that happen? You feel like you kind of need to lose a bit of weight in order to be healthy, but then you get a really cute item of clothing that you'd hate to have to part with if you ever did actually get smaller! 🙂

AIMS community to OUSD: Please don't close our schools
on February 28, 2013
About three dozen American Indian Model Schools (AIMS) students and parents took turns Wednesday, each speaking for one minute, hoping to convince the Oakland school board that their three schools shouldn't be shut down. The board voted in January to give the AIMS administration a "notice of intent to revoke" the schools' charters after alleging fraud and financial mismanagement at the schools. The public hearing, held in the gymnasium at La Escuelita Elementary, was meant to allow the AIMS community to respond to the notice.
"Me and my brother were troublemakers, but this school has helped me," said American Indian Public Charter School II seventh grader Alex Ramirez, before breaking into tears. "I transformed from a troublemaker to a well-behaved student because of this school. Why close down a school that does so much for the children and the community?"
AIMS runs two middle schools—American Indian Public Charter School and American Indian Public Charter School II—and one high school, American Indian Public High School. In September, 2012, the Oakland Unified School District sent school administrators a "notice of violations" alleging improper business contracts with AIMS founder Ben Chavis' businesses, inappropriate credit card usage and lack of school board meeting documentation.
Wednesday's hearing came two months after AIMS administrators submitted a response to the notice of violations and a month after the OUSD vote to begin the process of revoking the charter. After a meeting with Superintendent Tony Smith earlier this month, Wednesday's public hearing and a final vote in March, AIMS administrators will have the chance to appeal to Alameda County and the state of California. If they lose, the schools will close in June. A shutdown would affect over 1,000 downtown and East Oakland students.
Comments from students and parents came after a 20-minute presentation by AIMS board president Toni Cook and interim executive director Sylvester Hodges detailing the steps the administration has taken to correct the mistakes that were listed in the notice of violations. Hodges began his presentation by declaring that the relationship and contracts between AIMS, Chavis and his businesses were a conflict of interest, something that the AIMS administration has been slow to acknowledge. Chavis has denied these allegations in the past, claiming that the AIMS board members were aware that he owned the businesses from which the schools were renting space.
"This point needed to be made publicly," Hodges said. "I'm making this point publicly now. I don't believe in hiding from the public something that risks the schools."
Hodges addressed concerns that AIMS failed to institute acceptable changes to its financial organization by asserting that the administration has hired new staff, as well as a consultant who monitors the schools' financial procedures. He said that the school credit cards are now centralized and monitored and there are limits placed on them, to prevent them from being used for personal spending. Hodges emphasized that the only relationship Chavis currently has with the schools is that of a parent, since his three children attend AIMS schools.
Hodges read for the board a letter from him to Chavis and Chavis' wife defining their relationship with the schools. "The new board wants to acknowledge that you did a great job in creating AIMS and progressing it," the letter states. "It's necessary that we define your relationship to our schools. Your past roles are not in effect. Your name has been removed from all banking accounts. In addition, no future contracts or business will be allowed between AIMS and American Delivery Systems and Lumbee Holdings, LLC [Chavis' businesses] due to major issues under investigation."
Chavis' name was absent from the comments made by students and parents, too. They instead focused on AIMS' consistently high API scores, which measure a school's yearly progress and determine federal funding. During the 2009-2010 school year, AIPCS had a score of 988, the highest of all the schools in the state.
They also consistently mentioned the effectiveness of the teachers and the community that they say has formed within the schools. "A public school is not a business," said Connie, an AIMS parent who declined to give her last name. "What the founder did should be none of our business. He's gone. Let high-performing schools keep going."
Many students said they felt comfortable at their schools and were afraid they would be bullied at other schools. "I'm finally in a community where everyone wants to learn," said Brandon Charles, a seventh grade student from AIPCS II. "I'm not ridiculed. Please don't take that away from me."
"I used to have horrible grades," said Sally Chan, a student at AIPCS. "I'm doing much better now. My teachers work very hard to plan their lessons and help us improve. When I need help on anything, my teachers are there to help me and even tutor me extra. They have given me support, wisdom and courage."
But a handful of adults were in support of the schools being closed. Tania Kappner, a history teacher at Oakland Tech High School and a member of the group By Any Means Necessary, commented not only the school's financial concerns, but its teaching methods, saying that the schools placed too much emphasis on discipline. "Tough love is not the only way," Kappner said. "We need structure and creativity, and we need it for all of the kids in the community. We should be taking the resources from here and investing them in our public schools that serve everybody."
Comments like this, when made on the podium to the OUSD board, were drowned out by boos from the full gymnasium.
After the public hearing was over, AIMS families and kids huddled around outside La Escuelita discussing the event. Destiny Cheng, a fifth grade student at AIPCS II, took a break from running around with her friends to say that a lot of kids at her school are getting better and that her favorite subject is math because she's good at it. When asked if she had thought about what she would do if her school was shut down, she gave a blank stare and a firm "No."
The OUSD board will hold their final vote on March 20 at La Escuelita Elementary School.
Read the entire OUSD notice of violations report here. (Click on "12-2557 Notice of Violation – Named Schools.") An audit report by the state's Financial Crisis & Management Assistance Team is included, on pages 946 to 1,001. OUSD has not made the AIMS administration's response to the notice publicly available yet.

Ben Chavis is a thug and a disgrace to education. He should be prosecuted for fraud and corruption. All the students at the horribly misnamed "American Indian" charter schools should be transferred to the schools that the OUSD was forced to close because of the loss of students to charter schools like Chavis's corrupt enterprise.
Yes, Pablo is right….send all these high performing students back to the low performing OUSD schools where they can become low performers too! It's not quality, it equality. Let all students in Oakland strive to the low performance traditional in most Oakland schools. When the East or West Oakland schools (or even the "hill" schools), hit an API of 988, then all students in Oakland will be well served. But that won't be accomplished by tearing down those that rise above.

Milk Chocolate Guinness Ice Cream? Oh My!
If this isn't the perfect ending to your Saint Patrick's Day feast, then one surely doesn't exist.
Imagine if you will…creamy, luscious milk chocolate ice cream swirling on your tongue. But what's this tangy counterpoint? Why, it's a touch of Guinness – cutting through the sweetness in the most marvelous way.
These two flavors are so unexpected but combine so beautifully together, you may just start sipping beer with your mid-afternoon chocolate fix!
This recipe is adapted from David Lebovitz's fabulous book The Perfect Scoop. If any of you reading this are into making your own ice cream, (and considering how inexpensive and easy to use today's ice cream makers are, why wouldn't you?) then this is a must-have in your cookbook library.
Here's what you'll need:
~8 ounces finely chopped milk chocolate.
I find that one of those one lb bars from Trader Joe's works great. Plus there's lots left over for snacking on. 🙂
~1 cup whole milk
~1/2 cup of sugar
~Pinch of salt
~4 large egg yolks
~1 cup heavy cream
~3/4 cup Guinness Stout
I've tried this recipe with other stouts and none work as well as Guinness. The beer flavor is much less pronounced with other brands.
~1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Here's what to do:
Put your finely chopped chocolate in a bowl with a strainer over it and set aside.
Warm the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the milk mixture into your eggs a little at a time while whisking the eggs continuously. You are tempering the eggs so that the heat of the milk won't scramble them. Once you've added all your milk mixture to the eggs, pour it all back into your saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a silicone spatula. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan as you stir. Once the mixture thickens enough to coat the spatula, pour the mixture through the strainer onto your chopped chocolate.
Stir until the chocolate is melted. Once it's smooth, whisk in the cream, then the Guinness, and finally the vanilla. Place this bowl in an ice bath and stir until cooled.
This is where your patience will be tested. Cover this bowl of deliciousness with Saran Wrap and refrigerate until very cold. I chill mine overnight but if you just can't wait that long, then 3 hours should do the trick. Speaking of tricks, in order to avoid your mixture developing a skin, be sure to press down the plastic wrap so that it's touching in all places.
Once it's nice and cold, all that's left to do is put it in your ice cream maker and prepare your taste buds for the joy that is to come!
Hope you all have a great Saint Patrick's Day and that you'll indulge in this yummy treat!

Last week Yamaha unveiled 4 pedelec prototype models at Interbike – the largest bicycle trade event in North America – with availability to US dealers scheduled for early next year.
Yamaha's models, capable of assistance up to 20mph for the American market, are the drop-bar Urban Rush road bike, hardtail YDX-TORC, alongside the Cross Core fitness hybrid and Cross Connect, a recreation and utility pedelec.
The Yamaha Motor Company started producing electric bikes and drive units in 1993 and has since produced more than 4 million drive units.
"Yamaha has been a pioneer, inventor, and innovator in electric bicycles for more than two decades," said Terry Okawa, President, Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A. "And introducing Yamaha electric bicycles at this time will only add further to the depth and diversity of the Yamaha brand in the U.S."
Sales & Marketing Manager, Drew Engelmann, told Pedelecs that the models are "specific to the Yamaha US project development" with full specification being released towards the end of 2017.

The truth is that we all know the feeling of buying something when we have a bad day and it suddenly changes our mood in a positive one. But this is not what we really need, especially when we want to save some money for other important things, don't you think? However, it does not mean that we just satisfied one of our needs when we make these purchases, but we are just victims of aggressive marketing strategies that manipulate us to buy constantly.
Of course, if you are in the month of discounts and you find some things that you really need or you want something from the bottom of your heart, then it is fine to use some of your money from time to time.
There are many motivational speakers or personal development and self-improvement books that will help you with managing your money and become more disciplined in this regard. But sometimes it is quite difficult to resist the temptation and we forget about keeping a constant line of expenses.
Some motivational experts and psychologists recommend you, in the process of saving money, to have a piggy bank intended to buy the things you like, but you do not really need because in this way you will be more motivated to save money and you will be happier with your income.
Anyway, if you want to save more money than you did before, all you have to do is to become a more intentional consumer and to learn how to give up on buying useless things that you do not really need. This subject involves a complex discussion and the list of things that you should not buy at all is large. But you are the only one who knows very well what kind of person you are and your needs, so the change begins with you!
When we go to shopping and we see at the end of the day, we realize that we spent a lot of money on things that simply do not make sense and that we do not even need, because this kind of behavior is based on an impulsive instinct that let us be influenced by various marketing strategies.
The common strategy in malls is the lack of windows, watches and the implementation of strong lights so that you cannot see when the time flies. So, pay attention to the details and be more careful with managing your income. Read on for more!

Article by Megan McLatchie
Despite the UK being the 3rd largest startup ecosystem globally, the nation ranks only 15th in terms of the "global gender gap".
Though there has been a rise in the number of female-founded startup companies valued at over $1 billion (from just four in 2013 to ten in the first half of 2019) the gender gap within the ecosystem still remains far from equal.
According to a report from British Business Bank, for every £1 of VC investment in the UK, only 1p get invested into startups with female founders. To make matters worse representation of women in tech greatly struggles with gender equality having only 20% of females making up the whole of the UK tech workforce, and only 5% of senior roles being held by women. Therefore, It doesn't come as a surprise when I say that there are less female tech founders compared to any other startup sector.
Yet regardless of the challenges, there is a need for more women in the UK to become founders of technology startups and I'm here to tell you why.
Female Experiences & Perspective
Men and Women experience the world differently. Though the differentiation of their views has narrowed in recent decades and is continuing to do so, male and female experiences still remain undeniably different. And this is reflected in their startups.
Stereotypically, women have multiple roles in society, the top 3 being wives, carers, & mothers. Because of this, they might see it as important for their employees to have certain benefits, such as daycare and childminding due to experiences of either themselves or their partner trying to juggle work and family life. But also experiences unique to women such as periods, giving birth and the menopause can shape product ideas for viable and growing markets. Examples include Mooncup – the world's first reusable silicone menstrual cup and bitbaby – a wearable device for expectant mothers to monitor their baby's movements on their smartphone. By having a female founder that not only thinks of these products but understands and has experienced the problems that those products hope to solve, ensures the product meet their needs of a feminine market, drawing on their own experiences to do so.
Additionally, if you've got a product that's based at both men and women, having a male and female founder as a representative for both customer segments ensures the product remains gender-neutral.
Capital efficient & higher ROI
Even though there's a higher ratio of male founders than they are a female founder in the UK, there is evidence to show women are a safer bet for an investor. According to the Kauffman Foundation, tech startups establish by female founders are more capital-efficient, achieve 35% higher return on investment and have a 12% higher revenue than those run by their male counterparts.
So with all this promising data to back up female founders, why aren't investors jumping at the chance to invest in their startups?
The short of it is, investment panels aren't fairly representing a diverse range of founders. 92% of the top 100 Venture Capitalist panels are made up of highly educated, white, middle-class men, so investment decisions are being made in environments which miss utilising a diverse range of voices and opinions. So in this instance, if someone was to come and pitch the idea for the worlds best menstrual solution to a board of investors that are majority men; 1) They might not understand the problem, but 2) They might not want to invest because it is something they have no experience in and therefore can't empathise with the importance of the product. They may instead choose to favour a company such as a FinTech, as it is a market they can understand and are used to seeing.
More money to the economy
Earlier this year, HM Treasury found that the gender gap accounts for approximately 1.1m missing businesses. If we shrink the gender gap by matching the number of female founders to male founders this would generate a £250 billion opportunity for the economy. I need not mention the taxation benefits, the increase in the number of people employed, and the attractiveness for foreign investment that this would bring, but most significantly, it fuels the development of growing economies across the UK. A current example is what is happening in the North West. Now a more welcoming climate for startups than ever before, boasting over 13,000 tech businesses and a £4.98bn digital tech turnover. Nova, a Liverpool-based tech startup cofoundery has helped produce this revenue by elevating sectors that were already blooming in the North, particularly FinTech and MedTech. With a healthy portion of those coming from their female founders including, Rebecca Taylor founder of Aquarate, Juliet Awang founder of Woowi, and Rachael Namiiro founder of PaidYou.
The UK needs more female tech entrepreneurs, not so they can improve their mediocre ranking of 15th in the Global Gender Gap, but because more diversity builds stronger startups. We know that the 3 big obstacles women face when creating a startup are funding, mentorship, and experience, but if a female founder is given support and mentorship to guide them through their startup journey, they'll flourish.
Nova co-founds startups with talented people, working alongside them to realise their entrepreneurial ambition. Partnering with Nova, founders have everything they need in one place and can focus on doing what they do best – building and growing their business.

Fossil Q Motion is like a rebranded, redesigned Misfit Ray
October last year, fashion outfit Fossil revealed its first generation of wearable accessories, including an Android Wear Q Founder smartwatch. A month later, it acquired Misfit, a company that specializes in smart fitness wearables and software. Its intention was pretty clear. It needed Misfit's expertise in wearables to augment its own portfolio. Barely half a year later, Fossil is revealing its first wearable since that purchase, the Fossil Q Motion. Interestingly, it is a dead knocker for Misfit's own Ray, announced just last January.
Considering how few smart fitness bands in the market sport an almost barrel-like, cylindrical main body, it's hard not to draw parallels between the Ray and the new Q Motion. Especially since the two are, technically, under one company now anyway. It's not a bad association, at least not for Fossil. Like the Ray, the Q Motion is designed to be fashionable as well, despite a not so fashionable name.
The Q Motion sets itself apart from is other Fossil "Q" brethren with a new function: sleep tracking. While Fossil's first gen fitness trackers and smartwatch did track all other kinds of activities, Fossil probably didn't have the tech and know-how to implement sleep tracking. Misfit, fortunately, does and now we're seeing one of the first fruits of the acquisition. Or second, if you consider the design as the first. The wearable can have a "smart tap" function set to, for example, change tracks in a playlist or remotely trigger a smartphone camera shutter, a feature also seen in Misfit's wearables. How far Fossil will take Smart Tap, however, remains to be seen.
Fossil does put a few twists of its own, of course. For example, the Q Motion supposedly can be worn as a pendant as well, though confirmation of that is still coming.
The Fossil Q Motion promises a battery that lasts 6 months and a water resistance of up to 50 meters. Coming in summer, it will cost $95. Availability details, including color options, have yet to be disclosed.

Agreement for "Excellence Scholarship" renewed
On Tuesday 19 November the agreement that awards the "Excellence Scholarship" for studies abroad was renewed.
Jönköpings Borgarekassa och Bjuggska fonden have been sponsoring the Excellence Scholarship since 2004 and since then nearly 3 million SEK have been distributed to students. The scholarship is awarded to students with outstanding academic performances and students are ranked by grades and get a choice of fifteen of the foremost of JIBS many partner universities.
Jönköping Borgarekassa och Bjuggska fonden was started in Jönköping in 1815 to support the "aged and needy commoners and their widows and children." Over the years and thanks to wise investments the foundation's funds have increased, and in 1985 a change in rules was made to allow students in commerce and crafts residing in Jönköping to apply for scholarships from the fund.
JIBS Dean Professor Johan Roos thinks it is great that the school will keep having the opportunity to offer students such a great reward for good work. And he is inspired by the foundation's long history : - It's great to take part of Jönköping's history in this way, and it's important that our students also get to feel like a part of it. The link between the past and the future is very strong here. And being able to reward scholarships to study abroad to students who have shown outstanding results is fantastic and just in line with JIBS principle "international at heart. "
Present at the ceremony was Lennart Gabrielson, President, Carina Sandberg, Vice-President and Anders Grahn, Secretary and Treasurer from Jönköpings Borgarekassa och Bjuggska fonden, as well as Johan Roos, Dean, Anna Blombäck, Associate Dean of Education and other representatives from JIBS.
