Developer Greg O'Connell '64 is working to restore the village of Mount Morris to its former vitality by purchasing, renovating and then renting property on its Main Street to enterprising businesspeople.
When O'Connell began buying up village property, roughly 70 percent of the storefronts on Main Street were empty, said Harold Long, mayor of Mount Morris. "We had some businesses on Main Street that were in the 11th hour of being ready for the wrecking ball," he said.
According to Long, the village had been in decline for decades. Mounting competition from Rochester malls and chain retail stores forced small businesses to fold, leaving dilapidated storefronts behind. The village, which had been booming with small factories in the 1960s, also steadily began losing manufacturing jobs as the factories moved elsewhere.
Now, the village is gradually rediscovering its energy. Thus far, O'Connell has renovated at least 12 buildings on Main Street.
New businesses that have opened in O'Connell's properties include an Italian restaurant, two antique stores, a gift shop and a barbershop. Long said that a coffee shop, a deli and a bulk food store are slated to open soon.
"Greg is more than just a developer. He's a community architect," Long said. "He's helping our community to come back to life."
O'Connell has also collaborated with the village government to spruce up village parking lots and lighting and he plans to relocate an iconic fountain that was removed from Main Street in 1930 to the village park, Long said. The village has also offered grants to fledgling businesses to improve their facades and help cover start-up costs.
Jane Oakes, owner of soon-to-open Jane's Pantry, said that she received a grant from the village to open her bulk food store in one of O'Connell's buildings. She said that she hopes that the niche market her business occupies – locally produced food and penny candy – will insulate it from competition from larger stores like Wegmans.
Many in the community have been enlisted in O'Connell's cause. Bud Howe, manager of a Main Street thrift store, said that although his building is not one of O'Connell's, he has worked with O'Connell to develop initiatives to advertise Mount Morris' businesses.
Last year, O'Connell helped facilitate a collaborative project that paired Geneseo communication students with business owners to develop marketing strategies and business plans.
Senior Lauren Aman, who interned for O'Connell, said now that most of the renovating process is complete, the next step is to help the new businesses thrive.
"I get choked up," said Linda Grey, who helps out at Treasure Alley, an antique store that leases one of O'Connell's buildings. "He got the town interested again in realizing the potential here. He gave us that spark of life that we needed."
O'Connell is no stranger to turning weary communities into vibrant hubs for business. O'Connell is most famous for his work in Red Hook, Brooklyn where he began buying up unwanted, sagging warehouses that he subsequently renovated and leased to businesses. According to a recent New York Times article, O'Connell's buildings in Red Hook now house more than 150 small businesses.

Tropic Sprockets by Ian Brockway
"Brooklyn" by director John Crowley is a conceptual time capsule and a tribute to the affectionate and spirited films of the 1950s. With its generous rolling sweeps of the camera, it is as authentic as it is moving.
Eilis makes the crossing, and takes a job at a huge gold-toned department store in Brooklyn but becomes the outcast. She endures crippling homesickness, and is endlessly under the judgment of a gray flannel gaze. She is sarcastically treated by her boss, Miss Fortini (Jessica Pare) and a pair of Waspy girls (Emily Bett Rickerts and Nora-Jane Noone.)
While playing at being a chaperone, Eilis meets the street-smart but sweet American Tony (Emory Cohen), who bears a resemblance to Bobby Darin or a young Dion. Tony is immediately hooked and so is Eilis.
Tensions rise with melodrama in Ireland juxtaposed against a kind of fairy tale Brooklyn with shiny cars, movie theaters and madras shirts, underscoring the existence of Eilis as "the other," unsure of her emotions and not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The apprehension is soon at its height.
Ronan is neither weepy nor ecstatic in her role. Rather she opts for pitch perfect authenticity as a visitor in a strange, over-confident planet known as Brooklyn. The actor has the diversity to be unassuming as well as to portray a girl next store sensuality akin to Maureen O Hara in John Ford's "The Quiet Man."
Both Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters show well as a priest and a tough boardinghouse head, respectively. In this story, Brooklyn becomes more of an abstract place pointing to the heart of a young man rather than a literal borough.
John Crowley has given us a rich, colorful and gentle film that is easy on the eyes, but by no means a trifle. While playing on the old Hollywood of Douglas Sirk or the aforementioned John Ford, the director delivers an amiable antidote of innocence that stands in contrast to our current state of immigrant paranoia and outright fear.

Sint Maarten Yacht Club Wins Wight Vodka's Favourite Yachting Bar Contest
London, England
The crew at Wight Vodka are proud to announce that the Sint Maarten Yacht Club has been voted the world's favourite yachting bar! Together with Scuttlebutt Europe, and now in its fourth year, Wight Vodka again ran one of the most important contests the world over, again asking our yachting fraternity to vote for their favourite bar over the last month. And this year, the sheer volume of online voting far exceeded last year's competition, demonstrating the passion we all have for a great watering hole.
This year's contest was again extremely tight between the winning bar and the runners up, including the Navi Bar in Glucksburg, Germany, The King & Queen in Hamble, GB, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the Bitter End Yacht Club in the BVI, the Pierview in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, the Candy Store in Newport, Rhode Island, Gladstone's in Long Beach, California, and the Sailor's Inn in Gocek, Turkey.
Ritu Manocha, owner of 50° North, the company behind Wight Vodka, said "This contest is just too much fun to run. Though we've never been to the Sint Maarten Yacht Club, it's definitely on our list of bars to visit. The team at Sint Maarten will receive a trophy and bottle of Wight to celebrate their win, as well as a few Wight Vodka regatta caps for their win. Many congratulations and let the party begin!"
Ritu continued "We again asked participants to comment about their favourite bar. We received thousands of fantastic submissions, and our favourite entries this year include:
- I was stung by a school of jellyfish and the bar tender brought me the best Pain Killer ever!
- The Dark and Stormies are the perfect sailor's libation, because you can drink more of them than those Wight Martinis!
- The club is across the road from the village pump!
- If you are a sailor and fed up with having to dress up to go to a yacht club and then being dragged into club politics, this bar is for you!
- It has the best brick oven pizza south of Chicago
- Great staff, amazing rum punch, wonderful company, superb sailing and beautiful women. It feels like the waiting room of Paradise!
- It's the place to watch as £$£$£$£ worth of mega yachts squeeze through the Bridge opening as the sun goes down.
- I can count on John to tell me great stories and ply me with drinks.
- The Tarte Flambee is awesome!
- An eclectic mix of clientele, from the young guns of yachting to those whose glory days may be receding rapidly into the past.
- And has the best bar bell challenge, which often leads to the compass room stairs bobsleigh run.
- Everyone who visits knows that when the club is in party mood, it is a very dangerous animal indeed.
- It's just perfect, because sometimes they cancel the "last order" and simply leave the bar open.
- Ice cold beers, hard core sailors from all over the world and the most beautiful Brazilian girls dancing from dusk till dawn.
- I found my ex boyfriend there…

As one of the 324 million public landowners in America, I call on the President and my Members of Congress to protect our public lands sporting heritage by strongly opposing any wholesale effort to sell or transfer our country's public lands. Some of the best fish and wildlife habitat and hunting and angling opportunities available to sportsmen and women are found on these lands. Public lands, owned by all Americans, are indispensable and we must care for them as such.
Further, I ask that Congress and the President work together to address 21st century land management challenges in ways that protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat, ensure that Federal land management agencies have the tools and funding necessary to effectively manage our lands, and uphold America's public land hunting and fishing traditions.
Visit the TU Action Center to tell our lawmakers why you support Public Lands!

I was thinking, I'm a deep thinker, if I only had three kisses to give–who would I give them to? Yes, I have had a lot of time on my hand this morning. I have been up since 5 am and no one else is up. I play these little games with myself all the time. I love the way I think. =)
I decided I would give one to my family–if I had four kisses I would have given one to each member of my family and then I would be done. The problem is that I do not like photographing even numbers–I had to only use three. Since I cheat and used one kiss to give to my whole family now I have two left. I guess I would cheat again and give one to my nearest and dearest friends. I guess I should not say that I am cheating because technically it is my game and I can make up the rules–just like the bozo's who get three wishes and wish for more wishes. My last kiss would have to go to my dad. He deserves a kiss–I kind of like him. =)
Done. Everyone have a wonderful Sunday!

Lake Superior is fabled to be recalcitrant about giving up her dead (The Edmund Fitzgerald and thousands of other shipwrecks), as the largest body of freshwater in the world, but she does discard other treasures for the taking. Benny and I often walk the shoreline here in Gogebic County at various locations, collecting oddities that suit my fancy for studio work, or just pleasure in observation.
My bluebirds from last year returned yesterday to the same nesting box, which they are known to do (as long as it was a safe and productive experience for them.) My fence keeps out the raccoons, which will raid the boxes to eat the eggs or young. Lots of male hummingbirds at the window feeder, often dive-bombing each other to assert their territorial machismo.
"O bliss of the collector, bliss of the man of leisure! Of no one has less been expected and no one has had a greater sense of well-being than...a collector. Ownership is the most intimate relationship one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who comes alive in them."
Walter Benjamin

Are you in a hot divorce mess right now? Clearly, you need a divorce attorney to make your divorce process go smoothly, but sometimes in the middle of divorce process couples often make poor decisions in heat of the moment and regret later. To make sure you don't disappoint with your decisions later there are few key points you should keep in mind.
1. Be honest with your lawyer
There's nothing more a good lawyer hates than a dishonest client. If you are facing problems that usually come with divorce such as the division of properties, evaluating child custody and child support, and debts, Your dishonesty will cost you your case, and your lawyer's credibility as he or she represents you in court.
Your lawyer will be your communication with the court so tell him every bit of embarrassing stuff that might help you with the case.
2. Prepare all supporting documents asap.
Document of property mortgage, wills and stocks should be ready. Divorce is not just separating you and your partner, it is also the process of breaking every string attached.
You need to make smart decisions to make sure your financial gains are not compromised.
Give all the documents needed in the case. Don't hold anything back or hide anything from your lawyer's grasp nor from the courts'. Remember that your lawyer is your help. For example, if the court orders you to show your financial report because your ex needs it, you can't hold it back.
3. Collaborative divorce or Mediation
If you're thinking of settling outside of court, get legal advice right away. That's because your lawyer will make sure you get a good deal, if not great, out of the legal circumstance you're facing. Also sometimes, problems like divorce can make you emotionally unintelligent and may sometimes affect your capability to decide properly. Well, that's the lawyer's job to do for you – to help you get a fair result.
4. Change your will
Yes, you need to do it asap, don't wait till divorce, you should remove your partner to get any monies, estate mentioned in your will. Your spouse may take advantage of it and can sue you to get a share from your estate.
5. Prepare for child custody or visitation rights
Having a child is one of the emotional parts of the divorce process, who receive child custody and who awarded with visitation rights is the most complex decision, depends upon the financial conditions of the spouse, whether you are able to afford kids education, living etcetera.
Read More about Alimony and visitation rights
6. Calculate your taxes
This should be a bummer for you if you don't deal with it carefully. House, business and capital gains. Even more, alimony may attract taxes too and that can make an appealing divorce into a foolish decision of your life. So you should discuss with your attorney about it. The gain you can make out of your divorce and how much tax burden it can carry.

Emotional sobriety. We hear about this in meetings, in therapy settings, in treatment centers, or maybe some have never heard the coined phrase at all. No, it's not about being overly emotional, as sometimes that can happen in early sobriety. However, some may think that emotional sobriety means being "happy, joyous, and free," or "living life beyond our wildest dreams." At the beginning stages of sobriety, it is often considered that one gives their attention to staying away from drugs and alcohol or situations that will "trigger" them to use. When we're in our addictions, emotional sobriety can be something that the person caught in the midst of addiction can lose, and in addition the family members dealing with their loved one can lose sight of their emotional sobriety.
We can kick and scream our way to emotional sobriety, or emotional regulation, and the good news is, we're doing the work – we're feeling our feelings.
Emotional sobriety is something everyone needs to get back after a long journey through addiction. So.. what is emotional sobriety? And what exactly does it mean? We've put a list together to get down to the nitty-gritty.
What Is Emotional Sobriety?
Emotional sobriety can be a term used to describe a state of mind that goes beyond physical recovery. There's no argument that giving up drugs and alcohol is the most important first step, emotional sobriety is essential to maintaining the positive lifestyle change. However, recovery doesn't always mean that we'll be surrounded by rainbows and butterflies or free from our problems and intense feelings. Sometimes we can be pushed to the edge by our emotions. Learning how to deal with these feelings in a healthy way without having to resort to old habits is the basis of emotional sobriety.
Are you emotionally sober? Here's a list of signs that you may be:
You're Able To Regulate Feelings
We wouldn't be human if we didn't feel, and it is all apart of the experience of life – even negative feelings. However, emotional sobriety is less based on the quality of the feeling ("good" or "bad") and more about the general ability to feel one's feelings.
These newfound feelings can be like a roller coaster, especially when we're in the early stages of our sobriety. When we're in our addictions, we try to push our feelings down by using substances. We drank when we felt happy, and we used drugs when we were upset. Becoming physically sober is a process, and so is learning to overcome our emotions and adapting new coping skills to regulate feelings.
Unfortunately we can't get rid of these feelings, but we can learn to regulate them. When we're able to be thoughtful and think before acting out on our feelings with our old maladaptive behaviors, we've reached an important epoch in our recovery. We must think first, but live easy.
You're Able To Live In The Moment
No matter who you are, recovery or not, living in the moment is tough. Sometimes we can get stuck in the past and stay there, but it doesn't do anything for us. The past is the past, and now the only way we can move is forward. Instead of looking backwards and sulking about the future, we can focus on what we're currently doing, or what we want to be doing, and do something different the next day. Being present and living in the moment can become empowering.
Additionally, a person who is emotionally sober will be able to handle their feelings in all of life's moments and also acknowledge when they need help. By doing this we can find peace with our past actions, and not overthink about what the future holds.
You Can Form Deep Bonds
Interpersonal connections. Friendships. Bonds. Relationships. Whatever you want to call it, that was something that hardly existed during an active addiction to substances. However, when we get sober and shed those that we thought were friends, we can form new relationships where one can talk through stressors and emotions without leaning on the relationship of alcohol and drugs that we used to have. Once these bonds begin to form, one can develop commonalities and we can begin to see people for who they really are, as well as they see us. These type of bonds can help us reconnect with friends and those that were once close to us.
In addition, those who are newly sober can form deep bonds and re-establish their relationship with themselves. Addiction can take a toll on one's self-esteem and confidence, and without the substances we can begin to see who we are on a deeper level, and recognize what kind of person we want to become. Self-reflection along with interpersonal connected-ness is a staple of emotional sobriety.
You Take Life As It Comes
Being emotionally sober means seeing our struggles as beneficial and grief as a necessary tool to grow. We no longer pity ourselves and begin to see road-blocks in our lives as stepping stones. Those that are emotionally sober see these things for what it is and can continue to be adaptable to the situation without having to resort to a drink or a drug. Whether it be something offensive someone said to you, or a life situation such as getting laid off from a job. Alcoholics and addicts that are emotionally sober will take the appropriate measures to find a solution to the situation, however know at the end of the day everything is going to work out as long as we stay sober.
Looking For Emotional Sobriety?
Have you stayed sober, however emotions still run your life? Do you still self-sabotage? We can kick, cry, and scream about the feelings and make our way to emotional sobriety, but we can't force it. The good news is, there's no timeline for when one reaches this type of state. For some it can take days, and for others it can take years. Sobriety has it's ups and downs just like life. However, as people who are sober, we have the opportunity to make each day a better one.
Sometimes we can create unnecessary pain and turmoil in the world around me even with this newfound sense of freedom. If you're still struggling with emotional sobriety, check out our transformative course on this topic on Sobriety Engine, here.

4 Tips from the Field for Delivering Amazing Support Experiences
By R. J. Stangle / Jan 06, 2016
At AppHelp, we deliver hundreds of amazing support experiences to technology users every day.
With a decade under our belt powering white label premium technical support programs for some of the world's largest telcos, I wanted to share four key ingredients in our support methodology that have enabled our partners to boast industry-leading KPIs and consistently 'wow' their customers.
Building a world-class technical support program requires the right service delivery tools, knowledge sharing processes and most importantly, staffing agents with high EQ and empathy. When your agents are able to put themselves in the shoes of the customers they are servicing, the way that they speak and conduct themselves changes. For the better! Empathy leads to a more complete understanding of what a customer is going through. It tells the customer "You Matter" and it helps the agent deliver what is really needed. The goal is always about solving your customers problems in the fastest and best way possible. However, agents that see end-users as just another metric or call to resolve will quickly lose the personal touch and in worst case, the customer.
You know his time is precious. You know that the best support experience you could deliver would be one where you get all the details you need from him and then tell him to go about his day while you take care of his problem. The last thing you would do would be to have him sit silently on the phone while you try out a couple things to better identify what you're going to do to fix his problem. So you ask him what you need to know and then you AFK the president so he can go about his day and you can go about fixing his PC (no pun intended). Now, treat every customer like they are the POTUS.
Your customers have come to you because they need help. They are trusting you with the device that they work, play and educate themselves on. If you don't communicate your process and what they should expect from the support session, they can start to imagine the worst. Instead of having your customer wonder about whether they should have deleted their search history or backed up their data before starting the session, take the time to update them on each part of the support experience and address any concerns or questions they have. An informed customer is a happy customer.
Despite all the energy and focus that we put on creating perfect support experiences, sometimes, we fall short. When we do get feedback on a support session that didn't leave the customer thrilled, we see it as more than just a learning opportunity for future support experiences – we see it as a chance to change a customer's frown into a smile.
We have dedicated support specialists that are deployed to perform outbound follow-up calls to any customer that leaves less than stellar feedback on the quality of their support experience.

I've written gift guides for children before, and some of the items on there are still items that I would always recommend, a year or so on. Creative, open-ended toys are always good fun and span the age ranges. However, this year I wanted to share some slightly different Children's Christmas gift ideas.
Miss E got a scooter in the summer and I am sure that she would love the addition of a Mini Hornit to it. It's a funky sound machine which comes loaded with 25 sound effects including bells, trumpets, racing cars and animals, and has bright lights too. It does sound like a really fun addition to their scooters and bikes.
Mr D has been keen to get his own scooter* since Miss E got hers, and we have chosen one for him from an online store called Skates. Skates have a superb range of Toddler and Young Children's Scooters but we managed to narrow it down to the one pictured below. It has light up wheels, like his sister's as well as a back brake. It looks pretty neat and I am sure we will be out on the road Christmas morning, if its dry enough, testing it out.
The light up effects at the front are pretty good and I know Mr D will love this, and the wheels move side to side as weight is applied. The addition of a brake at the back is also good, meaning that if he gets little too giddy, he can at least slow down reasonably quickly.
Moving away from the outdoor fun I am a big fan of STEM toys. This year we are very much about construction toys with Duplo and Lego being the main gifts for all three children. We also have a new toy to take a look at, Arckit*. It's a great toy which is aimed at children 5+ and helps them get to grips with design ideas. Each set contains a range of components to enable you to create buildings, towns and cities. They all fit together really easily with a push fit and the box of the Tiny Town set we have forms the backdrop of the town that you build. We have touched a little already on design and I think this is something we will get to grips with more in the spring when I want to do some work on towns and cities. There's a range of different sets available and there's currently 30% off online.
Continuing the STEM theme a magazine subscription is always a win and one that I'd really recommend is an OKIDO gift subscription. There is a range of options available for the magazine and it's a great gift to receive across the year. I've written more about OKIDO here.
Finally, If you're looking for a show stopper family gift then I really recommend something like a football table. Both Mr D and Miss E enjoy playing table football at the various groups we go to and this Defender Football Table* is superb. I have a full review of this to share soon but it's a great family gift for Christmas and one that will give many years of fun. I can't wait for the children to get to grips with this – they will love it.
So, that's my children's gift guide for 2017 – what other sorts of gifts would you suggest for children?
Items marked with * I have received in exchange for inclusion in this gift guide

Morrisons cuts 5P off a litre of fuel for Easter
Drivers can save 5p-per-litre on fuel this Easter with Morrisons. The supermarket is giving fuel discount vouchers to all customers who spend £40 or more in-store until the end of business hours on Easter Sunday 27 March.
The vouchers will be issued in-store and customers must spend £40 or more to qualify. The 5p voucher can then be redeemed at any participating Morrison's fuel station until 3 April.
According to the AA's latest fuel price report, the national average price of unleaded petrol is 102p while diesel sits slightly lower at 101p-per-litre. The Easter price deal will lower the petrol and diesel prices to a respective 97p and 96p-per-litre. Asda has also vowed to keep fuel prices below £1-per-litre until 29 March.
The news comes as the RAC warns of rising fuel prices. The cost of fuel is expected to rise in the coming weeks as the wholesale price of Brent crude begins to recover from its global slump. In January 2016, the global price of crude oil sat at a 12-year low, $28 a barrel, but this has risen to $40 dollars and further increases are expected as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and Venezuela look to reduce the global surplus of oil by cutting production.

Ever wondered how one can get limitless music MP3 downloads? The bands Yellow Magic Orchestra and Southern All Stars debuted within the late 70s: the former focused heavily on electronica and the latter proved that rock music could possibly be sung in Japanese. Exile , the dance-vocal group below Avex's sublabel Rhythm Zone , had a number of million-seller albums.
Southern All Stars remains highly regarded in Japan at the moment. The record order changes if enough folks vote for the proper artists, so cast your vote now. Challenge loved appreciable success all through the early 00s, however ultimately saw a large dip in recognition that saw the "graduations" of a majority of its members.
Particularly for the reason that bands at the high of the list will at the very least be the perfect choices when you're searching for a list of excellent j-pop bands with which to begin out. As is the case for pop music" within the United States, quite a lot of different sounds tend to fall below this label.
This mix is evident by taking a look at a current Japanese High forty Chart. J-Rock is one other fairly broad style encompassing a sound similar to the alternative/rock sound of the West. If you listen to some J-pop songs, chances are you'll think oh, I have heard these songs before And then, you'll understand that you've by no means listened to them and so they have fairly distinctive sounds by some means.
Amuro had attempted a more RnB sound within the late 90s after separating from Komuro, but her recognition had suffered for it. 2005 marked a return to prominence for Amuro as she reestablished herself as a formidable performer. Keisuke Kuwata fashioned the rock band Southern All Stars (SAS), which made their debut in 1978.

She is hot.
She knows she is hot.
Not only is she physically hot, she is also smart.
That's a lethal combination.
But why was she in so many disastrous relationships.
She will probably deny and say that her relationships were not that bad
That's the cute thing about her, even with all her experiences, she can still be naïve and innocent.
Its one of her personal traits that I love… she likes to see the positive in everything.
Makes one wants to just hold her and protect her from the big bad world.
*sigh* but she is strong.
She is stronger than she thinks.
She is probably tired of being strong.
Its nice to be vulnerable and be taken care of.
Hopefully this new guy will know how lucky he is to have her.
She deserves to be loved.
She deserves to be pampered.
I just hate the fact that he is taking her away from me.

The Million Dollar Question
Everyone that knows me at one time or another ask the "million dollar question". Some thinks it but is too respectful to ask.
What is the question?
........ Why did I convert?
Everyone is curious as to why did I convert. Its even more amazing that I converted when I was only 16. Keep in mind that only I did it, none of my family followsuit.
I'm tired of always explaining myself.
So, read on and you will get your answer.
I have to give credit to my girlfriend at that time, Haslinda. Yes, I was 15 and she was only 14. Don't judge me.
If you must know, my family are Taoist. Praying to lots of "Gods" in the heavenly kingdom.
Me? I was a Satanist. Hahahaha…. Yes, a Satanist.
I actually believed that Satan is good.
I lead my life by the triple 6.
Sorry, to disappoint you, but there was no sacrifices or wild orgies.
Just me believing that Satan was misunderstood.
I cant even remember how I got that idea.
Anyways… back to my story….
I was dating Linda and 1 day we got into a religious discussion.
Since Satanism is not really considered a religion, I was comparing Taoism to Islam.
There was a lot of questions about Taoism that I couldn't answer and she can answer all queries that I have on Islam.
To make a long story short…. I started attending Islam classes and at the age of 16, my ustaz converted me.
So… between me and God, I converted when I was 16, but I officially converted at the age of 19.

Happy Teacher's Day
It's Teacher's Day.
Though its been donkey ears since I left school, (St John's Institution) I can still remember some of them like it was only yesterday.
Datin Chen (I was only 8 years old but Datin sounds so cool then), Mr Dennis, my band teacher, Mrs Kang & Mr David Fernandez, disciplinary teachers, Mr Goh, geography teacher who is always trying to find different ways to punish the class because we don't mind the conventional methods, Ms Chia, my form teacher, (sorry I made you cry when I kick you out of our class), Mr Raymond, history teacher (thanks for the canning) and a whole load of others that I cant remember their name.
Then there is Ms Lee and Ms Abishingam…. So hot and yummy…. *drool*
Teachers that made a real difference to me because they actually cared about the class, not just as educationist but because they are human. They touched us on a personal level. Mr Willam Goldman, Mrs Frank Tan and Pn Salmah.
And of course not forgetting my Law lecturer, Mr Lawson who is always sharing his hometown stories. (If anyone skips his class, he will hunt you down to ask why. He cares!)
Happy Teacher's Day.
To Mr Goldman, Mrs Frank Tan, Puan Salmah and Mr Lawson….
Thank you….. wherever you are.

Bake the Grain-Bow (June 2017)
Bake the Grain-Bow (June 2017)
Introducing Local, Whole Grains into the Regional Food System, Your Kitchen, and Your Belly
Bread is agriculture. But when you enjoy a slice of bread, a bowl of pasta, or a glass of beer, how often do you consider the farmer, the soil, the seed behind these foods? In this hands-on, kitchen-centered class, you'll learn about the role wheat and other grains play in Oregon's agricultural landscape; their function in baked goods; and how you can enhance the flavor, texture, color, and nutrition of your baked goods by "baking the grainbow". This course is ideal for home-bakers or professionals looking to build a relationship with whole grains; foodies who want to impress their friends; nerds; and craftspeople.
Tuesdays, June 6th, 13th, 20th || 6-8 pm
Seastar Bakery + Handsome Pizza || 1603 NE Killingsworth
$120 || Price includes both instruction & materials costs
Taught by Annie Moss
Workshop #1: Intro to regional grains. We'll look at wheat/grain botany; the role of grains in Oregon agriculture; and "re-localizing" the grains system. We'll dive into the nutritional and functional components of wheat and grains, and consider whole grains as an alternative to white flour.
Workshop #2: Why use local grains? We'll explore the color, texture, and flavor potential of different varieties. As a class, we'll make simple (but delicious!) crackers using different grains. We'll do a grains tasting, using a flavor wheel, and develop as a group a sense for the different characteristics of a variety of grains and flours.
Workshop #3: Bake the grainbow! In this class, we'll bake a few recipes and develop some strategies for how to best incorporate whole grains into pastry and breads. Hands-on!

Masdar Institute researchers have engineered a novel non-aqueous low-cost flow battery equipped with fast-charging that is able to charge itself in half the time it would normally take, which they believe may enable cheaper and more efficient large-scale renewable energy storage.
The prototype battery has an open-circuit voltage of 1.2 volts, with an extra voltage of 1.8 volts leveraged for rapid charging. The device is the first such non-aqueous redox flow battery to employ the unique fast-charging design, cutting the amount of time it takes to fully charge by up to 50%.
"Non-aqueous redox flow batteries have the potential to store more energy than aqueous-based systems, because organic solvents have a wider voltage window than that of water; which allows for formulation of battery chemistries with higher open-circuit voltages. But due to other challenges, their performance has not yet reached the levels achieved by their water-based counterparts," explained Musbaudeen Bamgbopa, a PhD student at MI.
He believes that a major opportunity for non-aqueous flow batteries – which are a type of flow battery that utilize solvents other than water – is for scientists to expand their focus on performance improvement beyond a narrow focus on increasing energy density.
Bamgbopa and his advisor, Dr. Saif Almheiri, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, realized that there was another way to capitalize on the wide voltage window of non-aqueous flow batteries.
"What we did in our work is present another advantage of the non-aqueous based redox flow system that scientists have overlooked. Instead of trying to increase our battery's energy density, we used that extra allowable voltage for fast-charging," Dr. Almheiri shared.
The MI researchers published their results in a paper earlier this month in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.
Flow Batteries for RE Storage
Flow batteries are one of the most promising electrochemical storage technologies for storing intermittent, renewable energy sources, like the sun and wind, and affordably and reliably dispatching that energy as electricity for long durations. Flow batteries are well suited for storing the excess renewable energy that is generated when it is sunny or windy, and dispatching that energy back to the grid when it's needed. They can be easily scaled up to meet the requirements of large-scale renewable power generation storage, and they can complete up to 10,000 recharge cycles, giving them a very long lifespan of up to 20 years.
A flow battery capable of fast-charging brings an additional value to storing intermittent renewable sources; if there is just a limited opportunity for charging, the battery can quickly recharge itself with the energy generated during a short time.
The MI lab-scale proof-of-concept flow battery consists of a typical redox-flow design: two tanks of electroactive materials dissolved in a solvent that is pumped into the battery's cell. Here, separated by a membrane to keep the solutions from mixing, they undergo a redox reaction and release energy. But where the MI flow battery differs, is in the tank's contents.
Flow batteries have traditionally been aqueous, which means that the electroactive materials – usually metals – are dissolved in water. However water has severe limitations. For example, aqueous flow batteries are temperature sensitive; some reactive metals start precipitating in the water-based electrolyte when the temperature of water exceeds 40-60 degrees Celsius. Another limitation is that water-based batteries are limited by the voltage window of stability of water. Water will start to split into its component elements of oxygen and hydrogen if the applied voltage exceeds the stability limit, significantly restricting the energy density of water-based batteries.
The MI flow battery is non-aqueous, employing organic-based acetonitrile instead of water as its solvent. Acetonitrile has a much wider voltage window, up to 6 volts. However, with the reactants the team used – iron acetylacetonate (acac) in the positive electrolyte and chromium acac in the negative electrolyte – the allowable charging voltage became 3 volts. Beyond 3 volts, the metal reactants began undergoing irreversible reactions, which would have prevented the battery from performing a full recharge cycle.
"Iron acac is a metal complex that was first discovered in the 1980s, but it was never considered valuable for a redox flow battery because it only has one redox couple. Normally engineers like to use a metal that has several redox couples in a flow battery. But we found that the one reaction that iron acac undergoes is isolated, which enables it to go beyond its natural charging voltage as it will not undergo any undesirable reactions," Bamgbopa said.
Their work is the first to use iron acac in a flow battery, and the first to report on the chemistry between iron and chromium in a non-aqueous flow battery.
A Different Approach to the Extra Potential
The drive for higher energy density is what makes non-aqueous redox flow batteries so attractive. But scientists are faced with many challenges when trying to capitalize on the wide non-aqueous flow battery's voltage window. Finding the right type of metal and solvent combination to undergo the required redox reactions without experiencing undesirable and irreversible reactions is difficult.
Instead of chasing after an increase in the battery's overall energy density, the MI researchers developed a way to use that extra allowable voltage for fast-charging without compromising the battery's performance.
They did this by designing their battery to operate at 1.2 volts, while reserving enough room within the voltage window to be able to allow it to take up to 1.8 volts more during charging, which boosts its charging speed. Instead of making the battery with a voltage of 3 volts, which would run the risk of the reactants undergoing undesirable and irreversible reactions that would severely hinder the battery's performance, they kept its voltage limited to 1.2 volts, but with a unique ability to take in an extra 1.8 volts when charging.
Dr. Almheiri and Bamgbopa will continue working to improve iron acac's and chromium acac's solubility, so that they can further increase the battery's energy density and efficiency.
This work on fast-charging enabled flow batteries takes new directions in non-aqueous flow battery development, and opens the door to greater innovation and exploration of future flow battery applications.

UPDATED (5.17pm)
It is official now that Malaysia and Singapore are in talks over a new Bridge at the Eastern side of Johor.
The new bridge will be built near Changi Airport to an Eastern side of Johor. Most probably near Pengerang.
As for now, Causeway remains the brick of wall that splits the Straits of Johor.
PREVIOUSLY (4.01 pm)
A news feed came saying that Malaysia and Singapore talked about a new bridge to link the two countries.
The Causeway has been in place for many decades and the construction of it was at an disadvantage to Malaysia.
When Tun Dr Mahathir and his panel of advisors introduced the Scenic Bridge project to replace the current Causeway, there were reasons for it.
The Scenic Bridge name is definitely misleading as it wasn't meant to be a decoration or a tourist attraction spot.
At this moment, the Causeway is like a brick of wall that cuts the Straits into two.
The Scenic Bridge will replace our side of the Causeway and it will be better because with the removal of the Causeway (although just half), water will be able to flow freely.
And from free flowing of sea water here, ships can then go to our ports in Johor, namely Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas.
With the bridge , the ships need not go past Singapore. They can just past through the Scenic Bridge (impossible now with the Causeway).
Official announcements will be out later. Tentatively, it seems that a new straight Bridge will be built in East Johor to Singapore.
I wonder if EPU and MoF had a say in this because we need to consider the economic prospects of the Ports in Johor also.
Ships will not be encouraged to stop by at Tanjung Pelepas at all if the Causeway bridge remains a big brick that splits the Straits of Johor into two.
Why stop in Johor when you have stopped in Singapore a while ago?
The Eastern Johor Bridge might be able to ease traffic congestion and bring prospective consumers and investors to Malaysia from Singapore with an improved competition.
It might not help settle complaints on the CIQ complex in Johor that was meant to be a project that accommodates the Scenic Bridge.
Also, Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas might not enjoy the advantages of the Eastern Johor Bridge fully.
So, is the Eastern Johor Bridge better than a Scenic Bridge from an economic prospect point of view?
I await the official announcement and the Eastern Johor bridge plan before I continue further with my comments.
We need to ensure that we achieve the maximum economic returns from every Ringgit of our Government expenditure.
I am eager to hear Tun Dr Mahathir's comments on this as the Statesman's thoughts have always been very good and welcomed by the Party and the Leadership.
It is, we in Malaysia believe, far better to have a slice of a growing cake than the whole of a disappearing cake. (Mahathir Mohamad)

Report: Angels, Anaheim Agree to Lease to Stay at Angel Stadium Through 2020January 10, 2019
The Los Angeles Angels are reportedly nearing a deal that will keep them at Angel Stadium in Anaheim through the 2020 season.
Per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Anaheim mayor Harry Sidhu will introduce the proposed lease agreement during the Anaheim City Council meeting on Jan. 15.
"From that meeting (with Angels owner Arte Moreno last week), it is clear the team's priority is to stay in Anaheim if we can work out a deal that benefits our residents, the city and the team," Sidhu said in a statement. "We need a plan to make that happen, and we need time to make that happen."
The Angels opted out of their previous lease in October that would have kept them at Angel Stadium through 2029.
"It's today, or 10 years from now," Angels spokeswoman Marie Garvey said of that decision. "There's no option in between. ... We'll sit down with the new mayor and city council. We also are going to look at all our options."
The Angels engaged in talks with the city of Anaheim for a new stadium in 2016 after previously exploring a decommissioned Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin.
Angel Stadium is the fourth-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball after opening in 1966. Only Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox), Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs) and Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers) have been around longer.
Despite the stadium's advanced age, the Angels have had no problems drawing fans to their games. They haven't finished lower than seventh in MLB in total attendance and have drawn more than 3 million fans every season since 2003.

I realized I left my favorite face cleanser the moment I got to the plane. I doubt it's available here in the UAE and thought of getting a replacement. I brought a big bottle of honey though for my big home spa treat plans for my husband and remembered reading about women who uses honey as their face cleanser. It's been a week now since I gave it a try and I'm glad to report that I do not miss my old cleanser at all. It is probably because I need all the moisture I can get due to the drying effect of the warm tap water here.
I love mixing my own beauty products but I still find that one-ingredient beauty products are awesome. They save time, save money and their pure properties do the job well. Here are my favorite one-ingredient examples that I personally tried:
- Face cleanser - honey
- Face toner - witch hazel
- Makeup remover - sweet almond oil or sunflower oil
- Face moisturizer - peach kernel oil or wheatgerm oil
- Face mask - honey or egg white
- Hair treatment - aloe vera (great for falling hair)
- Body Deodorant - baking soda (I swear by this one. No need for expensive deos anymore! I recommend detoxing first with dabs of apple cider vinegar (let sit for 20 mins. and rinse) for 3 days before using this.)
- Green juice - barley grass powder (Powerful stuff, this literally cleared my sister's goiter bump in the neck in one week! Drop me a message if you're curious where to get this in Manila.)
I'll be adding more to the list as soon as I discover more great natural ingredients. If you have children in the house, don't forget to put label on your cosmetics bottles!

Korea to make sports history with biggest taekwondo event
South Korea will host the World Taekwondo Championships at the alpine town of Muju, North Jeolla Province, June 24 to 30.
Taekwondo's global governing body, World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), said the 23rd edition will be the largest ever in the competition's history with 917 athletes from 183 countries registered to compete. The seven-day event will take place at Taekwondowon, a taekwondo training and competition facility in Muju, 240 kilometers south of Seoul.
WTF President Choue Chung-won said Muju is ready for the event and is very proud to host the largest ever of its kind.
"Muju is fully ready for the international taekwondo competition. The number of participating countries means a lot to our global taekwondo family," Choue told The Korea Times at the WTF's headquarters in Seoul, June 16.
Previously, the 2009 championships in Copenhagen had been the biggest ever with 929 athletes from 142 countries. Ever since the inaugural World Taekwondo Championships were held in Seoul in 1973, this will be South Korea's seventh time to host the biennial event.

Choue said the event will be particularly meaningful as a demonstration team from the North Korea-led International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) will display a historic taekwondo demonstration alongside the WTF's demonstration team at both the opening and closing ceremonies.
"It will be the ITF's first performance at a WTF event in South Korea. I am pleased to have the ITF demonstration team. With their participation, the Muju event will be an example of unity and sportive goodwill," Choue said.
The ITF will send a 36-delegation contingent to Muju. It includes Chang Ung, former ITF chief and the only North Korean member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and ITF President Ri Yong-son. The team will also perform in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, on June 26 and at the Kukkiwon in Seoul, on June 28.

The WTF said special guests will attend the event, including IOC President Thomas Bach and other IOC members — Aicha Garad Ali of Djibouti, Ivan Dibos of Peru, Camiel Eurlings of the Netherlands, Ryu Seung-min of South Korea, Tsunekazu Takeda of Japan, Ching-kuo Wu of Chinese Taipei and Zaiqing Yu of China — as well as Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) President Francesco Ricci Bitti and Tomas Sithole of Zimbabwe, former IOC member and WTF senior advisor.
Choue said this year's championships will be a fest of world taekwondo stars as it features all eight gold medalists from last year's Rio de Janeiro Olympics including two South Korean gold medalists — Kim So-hui in the women's -49 kilogram class and Oh Hye-ri in the women's -73 kilogram class.
The WTF also said Dina Pouryounes Langerroudi, a refugee from Iran who is now a resident of the Netherlands, will compete as a one-person refugee team under the WTF flag.
During the closing ceremony, there will be a mixed-gender team competition as well. First tested in 2016 at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Final in Baku, Azerbaijan, this is a new format for taekwondo.
Prior to the championships, the governing body will have its General Assembly on Friday. Taking place every four years, an election there will name the organization's president, 12 council members and two auditors. The incumbent WTF President Choue will run unopposed for his fifth term. Choue first took over as the leader in 2004 when then-President Kim Un-yong stepped down with a year left on his term. Then Choue was re-elected in 2005 for a four-year full term and won the next two elections in 2009 and 2013.
The president, speaking of his fifth term, said he will make the martial art sport more interesting and entertain a bigger global audience.
"During my term, I could witness the growing recognition of taekwondo among the international community. My next goal as leader is to launch a professional taekwondo league to entertain even more global taekwondo fans," he said.
"I don't want taekwondo to remain a martial art sport played in indoor gyms. I want the sport to be closer in our lives. That is why we launched a beach taekwondo championship this year."
The president also emphasized taekwondo should contribute to society.
He pointed to the WTF and the Taekwondo Humanitarian Foundation (WTF's associated charity initiative) running taekwondo academies in refugee camps. "The purpose of these programs is to guide children in refugee camps to the right path in becoming good citizens," Choue said.
Stating taekwondo is included in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics for the first time, the president added the WTF will make tireless efforts to make the sport more accessible to disabled athletes. "In partnership with the construction company Booyoung Group, the WTF has worked to become a more accessible sport for disabled athletes," he said. "We will continue to expand this effort."

hi, I am translating the GUI of QGIS desktop software.
The current developping version is on transifex platform from which it can be extracted the corresponding .ts file.
the older versions of QGIS are archived on github.
I'd like to insert the missing strings translated in the newer version in the older version. Also some strings have been corrected in the new version and I'd like to replace them in the older.
I used lconvert in this form:
lconvert -i 2.18.ts 2.99.ts -o total.ts
But QT Linguist warns that in total.ts there are duplicated strings.
Is it possible to insert in the older version (2.18) only the strings (new translactions or variations) that are the same from the newer (2.99)
thank you in advance

text: In recent years, the number of really high grade (MS63 and above) Dahlonega half eagles that have been available to collectors of this series have been minimal, to say the least. This paucity of coins means that there are many type collectors waiting for a high grade coin such for their set. This lovely 1845-D has exquisite deep green-gold color which is illuminated by rich underlying frost. The obverse has a texture that is actually a bit semi-prooflike while the reverse is more normal for the issue with swirls of deep frosty texture. The strike is very sharp for the issue and this coin has the naked-eye appearance of a Gem. There is a very faint obverse planchet impurity that begins at the rim outside of the third star and it runs into the throat area. Other than this, the surfaces are very clean. As a date, the 1845-D is among the more available half eagles from this mint but it is rare in Uncirculated with around a dozen known. The finest is a PCGS MS65 that is ex Bass II: 948 (at $57,500) and Norweb I: 817 (where it broguht an amazing $66,000 in 1987!). There are a few other really nice pieces including the Duke's Creek coin, the Milas coin and the Green Pond coin, all of which grade MS63 to MS64. The present example is undoubtedly in the Condition Census for the issue and I think it is the single best Dahlonega half eagle of any date currently available to collectors.

The decomposition of large woody trees is a long process that can take several decades. Even so, I am sometimes still surprised when I see fungus growing out of the trunk of a recently felled tree. I think to myself, "How did a spore pass the protective bark, germinate, spread and fruit so quickly?" Well, in 2010, researchers identified saprotrophic fungi within sapwood of several species of angiosperm trees. They found out that many saprotrophic fungi wait patiently inside the tree. When the tree dies, the latent fungi quickly form fruiting bodies to spread their spores to other living trees. This ecological understanding changes the way we all look at the mycological world, showing the importance of competition even for organisms that break down nutrient poor substrate such as wood.
Genetic technologies have come such a long way in the past two decades, that it is no surprise these findings were made possible by advancements in this discipline. Unraveling, sequencing and duplicating DNA is so much faster and cheaper than it used to be. Using a nested-PCR approach, David Parfitt and his team developed 11 PCR primers for 11 different wood decay species to determine their prevalence in several flowering tree species. Additionally, they compared their sequences to libraries of fungal ITS sequences in two tree species to see if these fungi have been identified as latently present before.
Saprotrophic fungal competition for wood is realer than I previously thought. Sometimes, when traversing numerous miles on a long hike, it seems like I pass countless trees. This is enough food to feed an army of saprotrophic fungi, right? That doesn't stop species from competing. Competition for space and resources extends far before a tree dies. Trees not only act as a substrate for fungi to grow from, but also as a reservoir for fungi. Latently present fungi evolved this ecological dormancy so they could utilize this new resource faster. They slowly spread within the sapwood, and when proper conditions arise, they produce vast amounts of degradative enzymes and go to town.
The next time when you're on your next hike, try finding a tree that recently died with an immense column of fungi fruiting from it. Depending on the size, this may not be the result of a single fungal entry point over one season. Large fungal columns represent latently present fungi. These fungi slowly spread throughout the sapwood while the tree is still alive. When the tree dies, the internal environment of the tree changes and promotes the fungi to grow. This research highlights the importance of competition, for these types of species interactions shape our ecological landscape. And remember, a fungus the competes, eats.

So, yeah. I'm still annoyed with hyperlinking. Thanks for trying Heidi but I think I'm just a dumbass at this.
Anyway... Last night, Brynn stayed the night at the Caudill's house. Brenda watches Brynn during the day so we figured it would probably be easier for Brynn just to stay there. (Thanks for the offer though Jenn!!) Brenda said that she did pretty good, she woke up once in the middle of the night and got up at her usual time this morning. I think that was a little rough on Chad and I... it's only the second night that she's been away from us!! We weren't worried about her, it was just a weird feeling not having her at home with us!!
Back to the subject of this post... Maroon 5 ROCKS!! Chad bought perfect seats, Cricket was packed and it was a lot of fun!! Augustana opened up, Maroon 5 was the second band and then the Counting Crows closed the show. We didn't end up sticking around for the Counting Crows... Chad isn't a big fan, we were exhausted, and the Counting Crows WAY too long to set up.
Our friend Rosey was exactly two rows behind us!! (Um, yeah, I would hyperlink that but I can't figure it out... so you can click on her name on my blog list instead.) I knew she was going to be there but I didn't think she'd be so close to us!! How cool is that?!
Unfortunately, we didn't bring our camera. It was supposed to rain last night and we didn't want to deal with it, so we left it at home. Since we knew we weren't going to take the camera with us, we took a pre-concert picture!! Here is my Hottie Husband Who Buys Me Awesome Birthday Presents and I:

That was a great picture! I am glad you had a good night! It is important to still have those dates! I should practice what I preach! I bet you couldn't wait to get off work today so you could go and see Brynn! It's so different when they are not around. Quiet, clean, and your cell phone doesn't end up in the lint thing in the dryer! Gotta love those kids!

Recently, a previous blog post on Nota Bene dated November 17, 2011 and entitled "This Week in Legal History – Justinian the Great" has received some discussion among members of the University of Houston Law Center community. This insightful post introduces the Corpus Iuris Civilis and provides direction for further reading concerning Justinian and his law code.
The term "Roman law" refers to the legal system which developed in ancient Rome between the adoption of the Twelve Tables by the Roman Senate in 449 B.C. and the promulgation of the Corpus Iuris Civilis by Justinian in A.D. 529. The development of Roman law comprises almost a thousand years of jurisprudence--from the Twelve Tables to the Corpus Iuris Civilis. Roman law served as a basis for legal practice in some parts of continental Europe until A.D. 1453.
