I'd let all MPs have a £10k pay rise, says Clegg: But Government fears public fury over huge increase
- Deputy Prime Minister insisted he would not take pay rise himself
- He also said the public would find it 'impossible to understand'
- But he said issue was 'out of his hands' as salaries are set by Ipsa
- He also suggested some MPs were feeling pinch on their £66,396 salaries
- Survey of MPs finds two-thirds think they are underpaid
- Tory David Davis says government must change law to block rise
MPs should be free to pocket a £10,000 pay rise despite growing public outrage about the proposal, Nick Clegg said yesterday.
The Deputy Prime Minister acknowledged the public would find a big increase for politicians 'impossible to understand', and insisted he would not take it himself.
But he admitted that the issue was 'out of my hands', as MPs' salaries are now set by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) which means party leaders are effectively powerless to block them.
Nick Clegg has said MPs should be free to pocket a £10,000 pay rise but insisted he would not take it himself
And the Liberal Democrat leader suggested some backbench MPs were feeling the pinch on their £66,396 basic salaries.
Confirming he would send any pay rise of his own back, he added: 'I am luckier than other MPs – I get a ministerial salary. I understand that some backbench MPs feel differently.'
Asked if he would order his own MPs to reject the increase, Mr Clegg said: 'It is for individual MPs to decide.'
His comments came amid mounting Government alarm at the prospect of MPs being awarded a huge salary rise at a time when wages elsewhere in the public sector are being capped at an average one per cent.
Downing Street acknowledged that the Prime Minister does not have a veto over decisions taken by Ipsa, which was set up in the wake of the 2009 expenses scandal.
A spokesman declined to say whether Mr Cameron would refuse to take the pay rise.
Top employer... MPs are set for a generous pay hike
If the expected £10,000 increase is confirmed by Ipsa next week, MPs will not even have a vote on whether it should go ahead.
Senior Tory MP David Davis yesterday urged ministers to change the law to block the increase.
He described the pay proposal as 'barking mad', adding: 'The Government may have to legislate to stop it, frankly. I would actually propose a motion to stop it, that's a much better way of doing it [than individually declining a pay rise].
David Cameron has urged Ipsa to 'show restraint' warning it would be 'unthinkable' to make Westminster more expensive to the taxpayer
'Because the point about this is about trust with the public, and the public at large will just not see the point of this, and I think that's the real issue.'
Mr Cameron has already urged Ipsa to 'show restraint' warning it would be 'unthinkable' to make Westminster more expensive to the taxpayer, while Labour leader Ed Miliband is also opposed to such a large increase.
The Prime Minister has said that whatever the outcome of Ipsa's review 'we can't see the cost of politics going up'.
The total cost of politics could be trimmed by cutting MPs' lavish pensions or reducing the number of MPs. But Government sources acknowledge that neither of these measures would tackle public anger over a large pay rise for MPs.
Tory Party chairman Grant Shapps repeatedly refused to say whether he would accept any increase set by Ipsa, but added: 'I am clear that, in times of austerity, everybody should be a part of that.'
A survey of MPs by Ipsa found two-thirds think they are underpaid.
Tory MP Mark Field said MPs had to respect the fact Ipsa was independent, saying that if the quango recommended a bumper pay rise 'we'll have to grit our teeth and get on with it'.
Former GP Sarah Wollaston said she took a £40,000 pay cut to be a Tory MP but met 'very many people' who were put off standing for election because it would mean a salary cut'.
She said it should be left to Ipsa to set a rate of pay that ensured no one was deterred, adding that she believed the real 'scandal' voters wanted addressing was MPs' lucrative outside interests on top of their salaries.
Former Labour minister Tom Harris said Ipsa had been a 'colossal mistake', and called for MPs to take back control of setting their own pay and expenses.
Matthew Sinclair, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said there would be public outrage if the rises go ahead. 'MPs are already very well paid both in terms of European politicians and the average salary in this country,' he added.
A generous salary... and a raft of perks
MPs already get a wage almost £40,000 higher than the average worker. On top of that there's a string of perks. Here JAMES SLACK examines how, even after the expenses scandal, politicians can still live very comfortably.
Nick Clegg suggested some MPs were feeling the pinch on their current salary, which has almost doubled since 1996 to £66,936
Since 1996, the basic salary paid to MPs has almost doubled, from £34,085 to £66,396. Even allowing for inflation, this is a staggering rise of more than £11,000, or around 33 per cent. It would have risen even faster had it not been for public fury at the expenses scandal which persuaded members to impose a salary freeze from 2010 onwards. The average full-time salary in Britain is currently £26,500.
Available to any MP from a constituency outside London who does not already own a property in the capital.
Pays for hotel bills or rental payments on a second home, up to a maximum of £20,100 a year – itself the equivalent of four-fifths of the average national salary. MPs who have dependent children living at their London address can claim an additional £2,425 a year per person if they are renting, to cover the cost of a larger home. The nightly hotel bill, which can include breakfast, will be reimbursed up to a value of £150.
MPs can claim for 'associated expenditure', worth up to £2,700 a year, on their London home.
This includes utility bills, council tax, ground rent and service charges, home contents insurance, buildings insurance, basic security measures, rental of a telephone landline, monthly broadband and even a TV licence.
Politicians can claim for journeys from constituency to Parliament or their London home, along with any travel within 20 miles of their constituency, other journeys on official business and three return journeys a year to Brussels or the Parliaments of other EU member states.
Train tickets are reimbursed at the cost of an 'anytime standard open' ticket. Open tickets can be more expensive than first-class tickets purchased in advance – a loophole exploited by dozens of MPs. Air travel can be economy or 'flexible economy'. Taxis allowed where 'no other reasonable method of transport is available'.
Tory Party chairman Grant Shapps repeatedly refused to say whether he would accept any increase but added: 'I am clear that, in times of austerity, everybody should be a part of that'
For MPs using their own car, the mileage rate is up to 45p for the first 10,000 miles, then 25p per mile thereafter. They can reclaim parking charges, road tolls and the London congestion charge. MPs who ride a bicycle are paid 20p per mile.
MPs can claim £25 per night if they are away from both their constituency and London home. If the House of Commons sits beyond 7.30pm, they can claim £15 for an evening meal.
Covers the cost of renting, equipping and running an office and surgeries. Worth £25,350 for London MPs, and £22,750 outside the capital. Can include energy and water bills, business rates and telephone and internet bills.
Former GP Sarah Wollaston said she took a £40,000 pay cut to be a Tory MP but met 'very many people' who were put off standing for election because it would mean a salary cut
Taxpayer funds salaries, employers' contributions to NI and pension scheme contributions of MPs' staff, who often include relatives.
Includes overtime, 'modest reward and recognition payments' (bonuses), and even eyesight tests.
Maximum is £144,000 for London MPs or £137,200 in the rest of the country.
MPs who contest but lose their seat get a taxpayer-funded golden goodbye worth one month's salary for each year of service, up to a maximum of six months – or £32,869. These payouts are known as resettlement grants.
MPs leaving office get £56,450 in the capital, or £53,350 outside London, to close their office, remove their furniture and pay redundancy to their staff.
MPs' pensions arrangements are generous. They contribute an average of 13.2 per cent of their £66,396 salaries into final salary schemes, which pay out after they reach 65.
They have to pay into their pension pot for far fewer years than ordinary workers before getting a full pension.
And they benefit from a higher taxpayer contribution to their pensions: almost 29 per cent compared with 14 per cent for teachers and nurses.

Midway Games MWY, -0.28% warned late Monday that fourth quarter results would fall short of prior projections due to lower-than-anticipated demand for a number of its interactive games. The company is now expects to record a loss for the quarter ending December and revenue of $78 million to $83 million, versus previous forecasts of a profit of $15 million to $40 million and revenue of $105 million to $155 million. For 2003, the games maker is anticipating earnings of $20 million to $30 million and revenue of $250 million to $275 million. The company said, however, that it is currently exploring restructuring initiatives that could result in one-time charges that reduce expected earnings. The stock closed Monday down 6 cents at $4.29.

The Orange prize will announce the shortlist for its £10,000 international Orange award for new writers which aims, partly, to boost short stories.
The award, funded by Arts Council England, is open to first-time women authors of published novels, short stories and novellas.
Aiming to spot "emerging talent and the evidence of future potential", it is a spin-off of the £30,000 Orange prize for fiction to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The shortlist includes Diane Evans, a British novelist hyped as "the new Zadie Smith", the US short story writer Nell Freudenberger and the US novelist Meg Rosoff.
Yesterday Kate Mosse, co-founder of the Orange prize, said: "First-time novelists have always done pretty well in the [main prize's] longlist and shortlist stage - with two winning overall in 1997 and 1998 - but up until now we've not been able to consider first short story collections or novellas."
VS Pritchett, an English master of the form, once said: "The short story is exquisitely difficult."
Bill Naughton, author of Alfie, wrote: "In a novel there is scope to spell things out and in effect to tie up all loose ends, but in a quality short story little must be said yet everything implied."
Today's short story authors see themselves as embattled. The writers who perfected the form, among them Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekhov and Katherine Mansfield, could command good fees. But the scores of newspapers and magazines which published them no longer do so.
Prize money as high as £10,000 is a rarity.
The writer Val McDermid writes on the website Save Our Short Story, which the Arts Council also supports: "New writers battle against the odds to establish themselves. The next Chekhov, Conan Doyle or Flannery O'Connor could struggle to find a readership in today's climate.
"And when publishers do produce an anthology or a collection, rather than shout it from the rooftops, they seem almost embarrassed, as if they've been caught doing something they wouldn't want their mothers to know about. Bookshops hide them."
The shortlist is: 26a by Diana Evans, an East Anglia creative writing graduate and journalist, a novel about children with a white father and homesick Nigerian mother; Lucky Girls, by Nell Freudenberger, a former English teacher, a collection which includes stories told by young American women living in India and south-east Asia; How I Live Now, by Meg Rosoff, who lives in London, a novel about an American girl sent to live with her aunt and cousins in rural England.

I have been away with my Master for the last few weeks at the Grand Library. It is in a vault under Rome. My Master gave me the challenge of deciphering all the manuscripts made by a certain author over 300 years ago and I managed it. He was quite proud.
I did, however, find something rather strange by the same author. A collection of codes and pictures, but they were in pristine condition. They weren't aged at all.
Tempus was only discovered 120 years ago, so he couldn't have used that to keep them clean. It is all the same handwriting and they were in a box I found about 3 miles into the Archive and that place is kept tight. The box was dated and sealed about 280 years ago, so it couldn't have been tampered with or they would know.
My Master has given me the extra challenge of working all this out. I'll start posting the pieces tomorrow. For now I need rest.

Treat Yo' Self, Girl: The Importance of Spoiling Yourself and How To Do It
By: Janée Barbre
IG: janeebarbre
One thing I've learned from my grandma, is that there are three ways a woman should spend her money. First, pay your bills. Second, put some away for a rainy day. Third, do something nice for yourself. She's always told me that there's no need to work hard without rewarding yourself. As women, we take on a lot. Between working, attending school, being a parent, periods… the list goes on and on. We deserve to have a pretty little treat to remind us of how precious we really are. Now that doesn't mean you have to go out and buy the most expensive thing, but it's definitely important to spoil yourself a little bit. That could be buying a new pair of shoes for one gal, or having a sparkling glass of champagne for another. Whatever it is, you've got to celebrate yourself. It's all apart of self-care! I treat myself like once a week. I really should chill and save more, but YOLO… right?? To be completely honest, treating yourself doesn't always require money. If you aren't totally sure on what to do, here are seven suggestions. Spoil yourself a little bit. You deserve it, girl.
1. Get a manicure and pedicure.
I personally love the nail salon, and I'm deff one for a quick polish change on my hands and toes. I really like to be in and out, but sometimes its nice to sit down and enjoy the Deluxe Mani/Pedi Spa Experience. Especially after a long or stressful week. Most nail salons even offer to serve you a glass of wine and a massage while you're getting pretty. That's definitely a win!
2. Pick up fresh flowers.
Brighten your own day with a bouquet of roses or a bundle of tulips. Flowers add color and great scent to any room, and are so fitting for "to me from me" gifts. They really aren't expensive either! You can buy flowers from just about any supermarket. Invest in a really nice glass vase, and just replenish your flowers as often as you'd like. Flower shopping is a great way to spend some time with yourself and add a dash of natural beauty into your life. Society has made us think that girls are only supposed to receive flowers from guys, but that's totally not true.
3. Indulge in something sweet.
Cupcakes and oatmeal cookies are my guilty pleasures. I have a permanent sweet tooth, so anything containing sugar makes me feel all good inside. Swing by your local bakery after school or work and pick up a little treat, or stop for some ice-cream. Doughnuts even do the trick! We've all swerved for the "Hot Now" sign at Krispy Kreme at some point in time.
4. Put on a face mask and deep condition.
If you want to stay flawless and goddess-like, you've got to take care of your hair and skin! Figure out your skin type, and take a trip to Ulta! There's a ton of face masks that cater to everyone, you're sure to find the right one for you. Deep conditioning is a pretty important part of maintaining healthy hair, especially for the natural gals out there. Take sometime out to recharge your hair snd skin. I do to at least twice a week. You'll feel super clean and hydrated afterwards.
5. Take a bubble bath.
Water is a very calming element, and something we should all take more advantage of. A hot bath can work miracles for the body and relieve so much stress. Add some bubbles to that thang and relax, girl. Light a candle and play your favorite tunes while you're in there. Another way to spruce up your bubble bath is by adding bath bombs. Lush carries some of the coolest ones. They smell really good, and some even add color and glitter to your water.
6. Buy something new.
Been eyeing a pair of shoes or a sassy little dress? Go buy it! There's nothing like getting something new. I love when I get to spend my money on myself. It feels good and reminds me of how hard I've worked. We can sometimes get so caught up in saving, that we forget about the pretty little things we wish to own. It's totally okay to swipe your card here and there. Spend a check and get it right back! That's the way it goes, right?
7. Binge watch!
We all have "our shows," but don't always have time to keep up with its episodes. That's what Netflix and Hulu are for!! Take some time out to catch up on your favorite shows. Being Mary Jane and Gossip Girl are great shows to escape with. I personally enjoy Bob's Burgers and binge watching isn't as bad as people make it seem, I promise you it's totally fine. Sometimes it best to Netflix and chill with yourself anyway!
I promise if you try any of these out, your life will change. Once you begin treating yourself more, you'll be so wrapped up in self-love and appreciation that you won't expect or accept anything less. It's the little things that count, and its important to never forget how much you deserve. Spoiling yourself is just a small part of being good to you. I know for me, it has definitely helped me put myself first.
Remember that nothing is more important than your joy.
For more inspiration on treating yo' self, check out season 4, episode 4 of "Parks and Recreations". It's available on Netflix and YouTube. This is also a great show to binge watch, by the way. Thank me later!

It is difficult to imagine how Chicago's firefighters, in 1871, actually fought the fast-moving fire.
Suppose, therefore, that your town has a gas shortage, rendering all fire engines incapable of traveling to the scene of a massive fire.
Does that scenario help to compare fire-fighting today with fire-fighting in 1871? If not, do you have a better comparison? What is it?
What would fire fighters do, today, if a gas shortage actually happened?
How would they get to the scene of the fire?
How would they transport their equipment?
How much time would they lose? How would lost time impact their fire-fighting abilities?

On Monday, June 30, 2014 our Supreme Court weakened the impact of the Health Care Reform Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) and its requirement that employers provide healthcare coverage for certain contraceptive devices. The Supreme Court has ruled that certain for-profit companies (closely held for profit businesses – those with at least 50% of stock held by five or fewer people) can no longer be required to pay for certain types of contraceptive devices for their employees.
Both corporations involved in the ruling argued their rights under the first amendment, as well as under the 1994 federal law known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which prevents government from taking any action that substantially burdens the exercise of religion unless that action constitutes the least restrictive means of servicing a compelling government interest. The companies involved in the decision argued their right to operate their businesses in compliance with biblical principles and should not be required to provide health care coverage for certain contraceptive devices which are against their religious beliefs. They argued that Obamacare is a violation of the First Amendment as well as RFRA and other federal laws which protect religious freedom in that this law requires them to provide health insurance coverage for contraceptive devices, such as the morning after pill, which they consider tantamount to abortion and in direct contravention of their religious beliefs.

To defrost Prodog Raw easily leave it in a cool place overnight. Should you forget to take the product out in advance you can defrost in the microwave instead. It is important that you don't allow the product to cook! If, at feeding time, the dog's meal is still partially frozen, simply add some warm water and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
We recommend that you feed 2-3% of the dog's ideal body weight, spread over two meals a day. You can easily calculate 2% by taking the dog's ideal body weight (eg: 20kg), add a zero to this number (200) and feed this amount in grams per meal if feeding twice a day.
Usually, puppies should be fed to appetite from 4-6 weeks. From 7 weeks old please refer to the feeding guide below.
Remember this is a guide and a common-sense approach is needed. Puppies should be lean and not over weight to protect their joints. Please use careful observation as your pup develops and call us for advice if necessary.
As your dog matures, begin reducing the total daily amount to 2-3% in line with the feeding guide, monitoring their weight carefully, so that you can adjust portions as necessary. Remember, every dog has a different metabolism and nutritional requirements, so feeding should be matched to his individual needs.
Until your puppy is 16 weeks old we recommend spreading your dog's daily food allowance over four meals per day. From 17 to 24 weeks of age reduce this to 3 meals a day. After this, 2 meals a day is preferable.
Once you are happy with the amount of raw dog food you need you can purchase your adult raw dog food or your puppy raw dog food with the information given.

We've once again made the impossible possible. We were contacted by a customer needing a 4.96mtr high piece of oilwell equipment moving from Aberdeen to Tilbury for onward shipment to Brazil.
Our customer was told by other companies that this height couldn't be moved by road due to bridge height restrictions and the only alternative was to move either by barge/coaster to meet the MV, or as a part charter direct from Aberdeen to Brazil.
We don't believe in letting customers down, so we decided to investigate further. We carried out a detailed route survey including site inspection, physically measuring every bridge clearance on route between Aberdeen and Tilbury and coordinated with the respective local authorities. Once we established it was possible, we constructed a bespoke trailer bed to meet the survey requirements and finally, we successfully delivered the project.
Our perseverance saved our customer thousands in transport and freight costs.
If you have a project that you've been told is impossible, call us today on 0161 492 1772 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The theme this week is environmental portraits. The idea of these portraits is to show the subject within their space - maybe a space they identify with, maybe a space that defines them.
X-Wing Miniatures is a great game! *pushes glasses up on nose* We played it on Thursday evening, you basically move the ships around and roll die to shoot/defend. Each ship has its own set of characteristics. To up the geekery we played with the Star Wars soundtrack playing.

We had a huge sewing room with a capacity for 60 and I heard 59 attended. Everyone had adequate space, and we could use the hallway floor outside the room to lay out blocks. We had enough irons to share, and unlike last year, no fuses were blown. Here's our space before everyone straggled in Sunday morning:
I did capture a photo of the scrap scramble. Everyone brought a baggie of scraps and dumped them in a pile. Then we all grabbed what we wanted out of the pile and re-filled our baggies. The scrap scramble is always one of the highlights of Sew Me STL.


text: Dalston Dining Room Part 2 Project 2002 Mike HoodPaul Rawson University of Sheffield UK The project is concerned with tracking development trends in marginal social areas and examining the forces that drive such development. Working on developers terms, it proposes a method for increasing land value using architectural intervention.Present development techniques are very limited applying the same linear models to each project regardless of its situation/location. Developers require new techniques for engaging with the complex and un-predicable nature of postmodern London. They must seek to exploit the 'sense of place' bedding development into the local community and weaving layers into the existing fabric so that it may be preserved and exploited for its rich qualities.The project is a mechanism for enhancing the value of a site prior to permanent development by making temporary interventions - 'cultural conditioners' that stimulate and then displaying the pre-existing local cultural qualities, acting as a neon sign would - applying a thin electric blue vanish to an object, not changing the object but instantly making it more attractive by highlighting the intricate detail.The strategy is tested through a proposal for the 'Dalston Dining Room', a conditioner applied to the existing semi-derelict Stamford Works building before it is demolished. The proposal is simply a marketing strategy that is manifested as built form, exploiting ethnic food as one cultural phenomena specific to Dalston. The scheme is not intended to be highly profitable, the profit gained will be through the effect that the spectacle has on the value of any future development on the site. Mike HoodPaul Rawson Mike decided to explore the process of development, trying to understand how sites and properties go through economic cycles which change their value. Using as a 'control' a current development proposal for Gillette Square, off Kingsland High Street, Mike considered how existing regulatory systems define the form of buildings. He carried out a number of cost/yield analyses to determine how the forces of control and capital are interrelated. His critique of current development practices focused on the standardization of solutions applied to sites without respect for local conditions. Mike's final project proposed a mechanism for enhancing the value of a site prior to permanent development, tapping into existing local conditions as a way of bedding the development into the community. This move also permitted lower profit margins and therefore greater flexibility in design. His range of temporary restaurants drew on the important culinary culture which exists in the Dalston area.

Resistenza's gorgeous monoline script mina is translated by Heroine Jewels into precious metal wire to form a unique and beautiful letterRing project! (yes pun is totally intended!)
Each 18k gold ring spells out; Love, Magic, True, Lust, Lucky and Chic in the fluid letterforms. Paco and Giuseppe the duo behind Resitenza write Mina was inspired by the "glamourous 1950's Mediterranean coastline, where stylish women and men in wire-framed glasses listened to Domenico Modugno songs on the radio while sipping wine in sidewalk cafes."
Mina keeps the feel of calligraphy, the long connections between letters is elastic, the clean, thin lines, it is a relaxed cursive ideal for logotypes, titles, lettering and hand forging gold!

Dr Sir,
The moment for commencing our operations is so near that no time is to be lost in bringing forward to the North-River, a proper proportion of intrenching tools for an operation against New York with all the ents which can be procured. To you it would be wholly unnecessary to recommend expedition. I am Dr Sir &

P.S. Have you intrenching tools in this quarter, or how soon could they be had in case we should have occasion for them.

Just purchased a 50's Military Hickok TV series tubes tester. It has a USN GE 5Y3WGTB and a RCA JAN 83 in it. The 5Y3 is sweet, but the big bottle 83 has flakes shaking around in it, as well as stuck to the inside of the bottle. I can see where they came from, mostly from one of the diode section shields? I don't actually know what they are called. Also, the bottom of the inside glass has something going on, on one side. Are these problems? The tester seems to work, but I have no way to verify it is accurate, and it is acting a little uneven at times. I went inside looking for possible electrolytic to replace and found this. Also, I just noticed a bit of fog inside the bottle, this cannot be a good thing.
It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....

All it takes is for a flake or two to get in between the plate and cathode, and your tube shorts, doing no favors to the transformer.

Guys.... the 83 is mercury vapor rectifier. The debris & "fog" seen inside = mercury metal.
If it works, don't fix it, leave it alone. And expect to see a purple glow inside, also normal in mercury vapor tubes.
Some years ago, also for a tube tester, I had to find a replacement, the 83 in it really was kaput. No luck with that. I subbed a pair of 1N4007 and got on with life.
I see there are some up for offer on eBay. I've also tried chasing down 83's at the usual suspects - US and Canada tube dealers - to find they're "in the catalog but currently unavailable" so good luck with that.
More to read up on the 83:

In any case, don't break the glass & sniff up the vapor, guaranteed bad for you! As in permanent brain damage.

Looks like the 83 can take some pretty high voltages, way more PIV than a single pair of 1N4007s could accommodate http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/f...s/093/8/83.pdf
So before turning traitor and fitting silicon rectification, best to check the max Vac off the PT HT winding, eg unloaded with the 83 removed; if up near / past 350Vac then more than one pair of 1kV diodes are needed.

I get seeing the mercury inside the tube, but that one plate looks like it's lost a sizeable chunk of its outer layer of metal. I don't think we should be seeing that white section, when the rest of the plates look evenly covered. I say chuck it.
But not before getting out the mercury and having some fun first... >:O

2 sides to the argument of replacing the 83 with SS. I vote no. I have a I-177B military tester and did lots of reading on this. Like was said, let the tester stand normal upright for a few minutes, power on. The mercury will get splattered all over if stored or used on it's side. If you go solid state, you are taking a load off the power transformer, which has a lot of sag to begin with, some of your reading may be off. They are not that expensive anyway.

I have been at the hospital with my husband since 4:45 am. It's almost noon and until a moment ago when another patients family member said they were going outside...cigarettes and smoking never came to mind.
My husband's cardiac ablation went well, doc said he had a lot of work to do in and around his heart, but he is optimistic. Doc gave me the basic plan of action for the next 3 months of at home healing. Now just waiting for hubby to get out of recovery and sent to a room. I will make sure everything is situated, then I am going to pick up food and go back to the hotel and catch up on sleep, up at 3am after goint to sleep around 11 pm is exhausting. I should be able to take him home tomorrow morning.

I can remember when I was six years old, living beside the railroad tracks. Us neighborhood kids would yell, "Blow your whistle!" He would! I always stayed there watching until the Caboose would appear!! Sometimes the train stopped for water. Dad got aquinted with the Caboose man! The Caboose man, started throwing me bags of candy as they went through! I shared with the others. When Dad&Mom got me my first two wheeled bike, He is the one that pushed me and I just kept pedaling, until I ran into my uncle Dubs truck!! Dad was standing there but this gentleman was the one that got me started! Never forget him! Hobo's would sometimes jump off the train. My mother, had them sit on the outside of our little house, she gave them plate of food&probably coffee. My parents had very little, but their hearts were in the right place, giving to those who have needs! Be back later! Hugs Shirley
Lovely story of your childhood. It certainly brings back many memories of similar events in my life. They sure were the good days although life was quite hard at times it made us stronger adults.

PITTSBURGH — In the earlier days of Pennsylvania's natural gas boom, Jennison Manufacturing Group sent a salesman out to the countryside for eight months of driving from drill site to drill site. He went far from the office suites and conferences where deals usually get struck, but Jennison was chasing the next great hope.
The gas boom could be the biggest opportunity for local manufacturers like Jennison in at least 30 years, company officials said. Jennison officers have spent years trying to get in, starting from scratch, at first with no contacts and no help, going to well sites, being nice to security and trying to meet drillers just to identify potential buyers.
The Rosslyn Farms-based Jennison, which produces specialty tools and equipment, is hoping it will turn a corner soon. About 15 percent of its business comes from the energy industry, and it's been researching products, starting an energy division and getting certification from the American Petroleum Institute to try for more.
"We feel like once our name is known, it's just going to be a matter of people coming to us and telling us what they need," said Deborah Jennison, whose father started the family-owned company in 1983. "There's just so much opportunity here."

This is Beatrice Ortega. Her maternal grandmother was Mary Ann Brummett of Livingston County, Missouri. The gentleman is Thomas Benton Brummett, one of the few Brummetts I have seen a picture of so far. I'm sure I'm researching the correct family because of their similarities! Thomas Benton Brummett was Beatrice Ortega's maternal grand-uncle. It was because Thomas named one of his daughters Sarah Evans Brummett in honor of his mother that I was able to confirm Sarah Evans as my 5th great grandmother. He's one of those ancestors who stands out; I think he wanted us to know of him and his family and I'm very grateful for it.

A year or three ago, in Edinburgh for the festival, I found myself in need of a sit down. The heat in Princes Street Gardens shimmered like the echo of a gong. I was not alone in feeling clobbered by sun and culture; most of the park benches were fully occupied. Eventually, I found a space between two youngish men, one seemingly asleep, the other absorbed in a newspaper. After a few peaceable minutes, the reader rolled up his paper, reached across me and swacked the sleeper on the head with it.
This initiated a violent argument, mostly consisting of surreal non sequiturs, in which I found myself embroiled as a clueless mediator. A small crowd gathered, not shocked but amused in a knowing sort of way. In a horrible lurching moment, I understood that I had fallen victim to dreaded street theatre – that instead of taking time out, I had been well and truly taken in.
As someone who never knowingly sits within reach of an actor, I was outraged by this abuse of public seating. For to sit down on a bench in a park or other public space is an act of non-participation. It makes a quiet declaration: "I've decided to do nothing for a bit. Not talk, maybe not even think. I'm in full view, so I'm not up to no good, obviously. I'm a harmless spectator of the passing world. Feel free to share this seat but don't start anything."
The very provision of benches by the council or the corporation acknowledges the human need to be private in public, to be conspicuously idle, to have nothing better to do. However, by taking a seat, one is made vulnerable – and not only to guerrilla thespians. Stories, imaginings, lurk in the shrubbery. That elderly gentleman over there polishing his specs on his tie, ostentatiously not listening to the vaguely foreign-looking fellow who's sharing his bench – isn't that George Smiley? Probably. Spies do love a park bench (I like to think that those S-shaped ones, shared by people facing in opposite directions, were designed by the Murmuring Department of MI6). Or the placid bloke you've sat down next to suddenly says: "My name is Forrest Gump. I'm an idiot. Let me tell you my story."
In my seaside town, there is a plethora of benches, each one bearing a little brass plate commemorating a deceased occupant. You sit with ghosts. You start to wonder about ex-Squadron Leader Gordon "Chuff" Robinson (1908-1983) "who loved this spot". Why did you, Gordon? What was re-enacted in the huge and shifting sky above Lyme Bay as you sat here? What's your story? And did you share it with Dorothy Cutler (1920-1994), who haunts the adjacent bench and who also loved this spot? Did you two perhaps flirt?
Benches and books have things in common beyond the fact that they're generally to do with sitting. Both are forms of public privacy, intimate spaces widely shared. The pleasing connection – physical and metaphorical – between book and bench has a history in public furniture. In fact, benches in the shape of books (and benches made of books) are nothing new. In Europe, as a three-dimensional witticism, they date back to the middle of the 18th century, at least. And they can be found in all sorts of places. In Istanbul, for example, you can park your bum on a 2m-long volume of Nâzim Hikmet Ran's verse while gazing across the Bosphorus. But the dozens of illustrated books as benches that have proliferated around London this week constitute a different thing altogether, and not merely in terms of scale and ambition.
As objects, they are, to my eye, beautiful: huge, opened and furled volumes painted by artists as diverse as Axel Scheffler, Lauren Child, Helen Oxenbury and Ralph Steadman. (There is something about Steadman's Alice Through the Looking-Glass bench, a chessboard distorted into a seat, that is itself deliciously Carrollesque.) They are also a campaign, one initiated by the National Literacy Trust in partnership with the public art outfit Wild in Art. While there is a Nineteen Eighty-Four bench, as well as others dedicated to Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, the majority are inspired by children's books. Books About Town is a project aimed at getting children to read, an activity – we are repeatedly told – they do not do enough of. It comes in the wake of the dire rumblings of Ofsted's Michael Wilshaw directed at parents who fail to encourage their offspring's love of books by failing to read to them. Books About Town is the bright antithesis of dark warning and imprecation: a joyous celebration of the lovely oddity and richness of children's literature and (one hopes) an irresistible invitation to partake. It is also, in benchological terms, subversive. Here are public seats that loudly urge participation rather than withdrawal.

Workshop: Inclusive Content & Design Practices
Learn to identify bias in your process, increase the fairness and accountability of your products, and make inclusive design central to your organization.
We all go into projects with good intentions—we want to make things welcoming, seamless, and maybe even fun to use. But without a process for ensuring our decisions are also inclusive, equitable, and fair, our products can end up with all sorts of biases embedded in them.
In this workshop, we'll look at examples of content, interactions, and entire products that leave users out or let them down—from "smart scales" that assume everyone wants to lose weight to form fields that fail for queer people to image-recognition software built off datasets that don't include people of color. Then, we'll break down why and how these things go wrong, and start looking at the risks within our own products.
Throughout the day, you'll learn questions to ask that will improve your process—whether you're designing content, interactions, or algorithms. You'll also learn techniques for uncovering assumptions, vetting design and content decisions against a broader range of people and situations, and making more compassionate choices at every step of our process.
Together, we'll learn how to:
- Recognize biases and assumptions in your product or design vision
- Create principles for designing experiences that are memorable, welcoming, and inclusive
- Apply techniques for identifying (and fixing!) trouble spots in key interactions, such as forms, notifications, and content-surfacing algorithms
- Write copy that includes more of your users, without feeling generic or lifeless
- Rethink your organization's processes, roles, and workflows to build an infrastructure for inclusive design
- Have the difficult conversations needed to convince your organization to take inclusive design seriously
This workshop will be held on March 20, 2019 in Copenhagen.

From Grant Hackett to Michael Phelps to countless others, a swimmer's relationship with booze can be a complicated thing…
Grant Hackett has a problem. I don't mean an alcohol or a pill problem, those are just symptoms. It seems to me he has a lack-of-moderation problem. Which is to say, he has a swimmer problem.
On April 17th Hackett faced some unfortunate humiliation when he 'tweaked the nipple' of the guy in front of him after the 6'6″ Hackett objected to the passenger reclining his seat. Giving unsolicited titty-twisters to strangers aboard aircraft is generally inadvisable. In fact, no good is likely to come of it. Particularly if you're shit-faced and you're a public figure. No good came of this.
Not for the first time, Hackett was looped in public and found himself explaining some seriously embarrassing behavior. In February 2014, he was seen in the late night hours of a Melbourne hotel, mostly naked, very confused, searching for his four-year-old son. A couple days later he checked himself into rehab, citing a dependance to a drug called Stillnox – aka Ambien. (A drug it must be noted that is reputedly used widely by elite swimmers to help them adjust to jet lag when competing internationally…)
Like Michael Phelps in the wake of his substance-sparked mishaps, Hackett has always appeared afterwards contrite and taking full responsibility for his actions. I don't know the man, but I know that he is beloved in and out of the sport, and commands about as much respect from his peers as any swimmer alive. It's a damn shame that the most frequent adjective before his name these days is "troubled."
Yet his troubles aren't exactly surprising. Due to our rather extreme wiring, many swimmers have a very hard time with the m-word. In the dry land world, moderation is a prized quality. For swimmers, moderation seems to imply just doing enough. Enough to feel good, but not really going for it. In the pool, who respects that? And so, when swimmers climb out and crack one open, things can often get out of hand. Particularly when we dry off for good, or what seems like for good, and face a life without morning workouts or meets looming on the horizon.
My first job out of college was as a fact-checker at Rolling Stone magazine. I started about three months after hanging up the goggles at my last meet. I was still reeling, untethered from the defining discipline of my life. I wasn't coping terribly well. I also had a nagging insecurity about my very un-rock n' roll lifestyle prior to arriving at a place that took more pride in staying awake through the dawn than rising with it. A few weeks after I started one of the music editors stopped by my desk.
"I heard you used to be a swimmer," he said.
"Until recently," I said.
"Man, the swimmers I went to school with were fucking madmen," he told me. "You didn't see them out much, but when you did, they went hard."
"That sounds about right," I said.
The next time I was out at a bar with that editor I made sure I fulfilled his perception. Not that I needed the encouragement. He was right. The swimmers I went to school with were madmen too. Even if you didn't see us out very often. Certain ones anyway. The masochists, the ones that seemed to have a screw loose in workouts. The ones that swam the mile and the 400 IM, they were the worst. My people.
So, can it come as much of a surprise that the greatest miler and the greatest 400 IMer in history have faced their own challenges with moderation and booze?
This week Michael Phelps was on the Today Show, with the Rio Games 100 days out. In an interview with Matt Lauer, he was asked yet again about his struggles with alcohol, asked if he was an alcoholic. His response was the same as ever. To paraphrase: I don't know if I'm an alcoholic, but I know I had some problems that needed a hard look. It's a reply I can relate to – more than I'd like to admit. It's also a sentiment shared by more fellow swimmers – and athletes of all stripes – than he probably realizes.
Phelps and Hackett are both quintessential swimmers. In bold relief, their achievements and their struggles mirror a million others. They've put in obscene amounts of work and seen it all pay off when it came time to taper and shave. You don't need to hear the national anthem played in your honor to relate to that. Nor do you need the public humiliation of a DUI or a dazed incident in a hotel lobby, or a tweaked nipple for Christ's sake, to relate to the struggles of reining it in when you're all dried off.
Plenty is made of all the fine admirable qualities that swimmers embody. The work ethic, the sacrifice, the long term goal setting… That's all lovely. But not much is made of the not-so-fine compulsions that are also bred into us. The need for extremes, the isolation, the inherent selfishness… Those are all there too. When champions like Hackett and Phelps get in trouble, it's amazing how quickly they're made to feel other. They're troubled; they're spoiled; they're entitled. Maybe that's all true, but it's also true that their behavior in these moments of weakness isn't all that abnormal.
They're swimmers, after all.

Shubaa (Anderson Junior College)
Ms Foo is truly an inspirational Economics tutor! She has the ability to make the concepts seem weightless. Usually, we get baffled by how the theories link or how we explain this in an essay. Attending Ms Foo's tuition made these worries seem pointless.
Ms Foo explains Economics in a layman manner such that I, a clueless JC2 student with a U grade in July 2010, managed to clinch an A for my 'A' Levels! After attending the group tuition classes, I was desperate for 1-to-1 sessions but our time did not allow that. As such, I wrote essays when I could and sought Ms Foo's assistance in marking. Despite her packed schedule, Ms Foo voluntarily took extra time and effort to mark my essays with full details.
Honestly, I wish I started attending Ms Foo's tuition since JC1 as I would not have to struggle towards the end. Nevertheless, the final lap was made smoother with Ms Foo's invaluable explanations, awesome notes and enthusiasm!

Trophy, illScarlett
|11-Oct-2007 11:14 pm
|Contributed by: pete
|Concert Reviews
There's always something going on at Bookie's Nu Music Nite at The Horseshoe, and so anytime there's a band billed as Secret Special Guest, it's probably worth getting there in time for that set. In this case it was illScarlett back on stage at The Horseshoe, apparently after having been previously banned from the venue for, uh... "smoking" on stage. I had already planned on being there for Trophy, so when the news spread on Facebook and MySpace that illScarlett was going to be performing as well, I made sure to get there a little earlier.
TrophyThis band shares a couple of members with a few other bands, and everyone I know who has seen them says it's a show worth seeing. Trophy plays around Toronto every now and then, but this was the first time my schedule matched up with theirs. Finally. Derek Downham is always a killer on the drum kit, and Kirt Godwin always puts on a good show as the front man. I hadn't heard any of the music before, but from what I know about the band members, their style of rock was about what I expected. On first listen, there were about two songs that stood out for me, but I don't have the memory to be able to tell you what they were. I guess I'll just have to get out and see them again sometime.
Info: Trophy | Connect: MySpace
illScarlettIf you've been to this site before, you may have previously come across a few photos of illScarlett. Having seen them at a couple of other larger venues (with great lighting), the show at The Horseshoe felt amazingly intimate. They always put on a great show, but rather than many, many hundreds of people, the crowd was relatively small and filled with all the regulars... their friends and long time fans. The band was out West on tour for a while, so maybe their friends were using The Horseshoe as a bit of a welcome back party. On the other hand, it's sort of always like that with illScarlett...

Can I choose how long a child stays with me?
You always have the ultimate decision on whether to accept a placement. However, as the duration of placements can often be unclear, you may need to take a flexible approach.
We talk through the different types of placements with foster carers during the assessment period to help you make informed decisions.

Sarah and the Autism Angels team are celebrating after being awarded charity status today. "We're absolutely thrilled," said Sarah. "Getting this status will allow us to do more fund-raising events and increase the help we give not only to children on the autism spectrum, but also to their families.
"Having a youngster with autism can put a tremendous strain on the whole family unit. We believe that working with every member of the family can raise awareness, remove limiting beliefs and build much stronger relationships. These families work tirelessly to make the child on the spectrum's life easier, but who's helping them?"
Autism Angels has been given some funding from the Autism Innovation Fund to run focus groups for parents and professionals, and prepare programmes that will have a real impact not only on the children's lives, but also the family and community as a whole.

'You've been warned: Consumer liability in Internet banking fraud'/
This contribution provides a critical analysis of the treatment of consumer liability in cases of Internet banking fraud. Whereas generally banks refund the financial losses associated with Internet banking fraud to the individual victim, exceptions do occur, at least in certain EU jurisdictions. These, however, are rarely spoken about, but do indicate a number of (legal) problems. The main problems are lack of clarity and lack of consistency as to when a consumer can be held liable. These problems also maintain potential negative consequences such as increase in perceived risk, loss of trust and demands for better security, which may be suboptimal from an economical perspective. This article concludes by reflecting on the potential benefits of the introduction of zero liability as an alternative.

Jenny Gray, an artist based in Monroe, Oregon, divides her time between her graphic design business and creating her own art. Coming from a family of artists, when she was young Gray would "help" by washing brushes while spending time in the studio. She became immersed in the art world after attending openings and going to museums with her family. Gray finds peace in pastoral settings, whether it is sitting outside underneath an oak tree or going camping with her husband and dogs.
Mood of Living Q&A
MoL: Hometown?
JG: Newport Beach, CA
MoL: Current location?
JG: Monroe, OR
MoL: Occupation?
JG: Designer and Artist
MoL: Occupation description?
JG: I split my time just about in half between my graphic design business and making art. I have had "Gray Design" opened for 15 years with mostly regional clients. I do everything from brand identity, print design to web design. On the art side of my life, I make large abstract oil paintings, collages, assemblages and prints.
MoL: Before your current occupation you were…?
JG: Well, during high school I worked in retail but I have been a graphic artist and designer most of my working life.
MoL: What and/or who inspired you to become an artist? Please elaborate.
JG: When I was young my mom had a friend who was an abstract painter and I would "help" by washing brushes. My grandmother taught art, my mother and step-father were both artists, so being an artist always seemed like a very real possibility. Family outings often consisted of going to openings, museums and other artist's studios.
MoL: Where and how did you learn your craft?
JG: I got a good grounding in basic art techniques and design principles from San Jose State University. I also did independent study with Oregon painter Adam Grosowsky. I learn best from doing, so I have spent and still do spend a lot of time just playing around with materials and ideas.
MoL: What medium do you like to work in?
JG: My favorite medium is oil paint.
MoL: How would you describe your artwork? How would you describe your creative process?
JG: My work is abstract contemporary. When I am painting I start out with an image, idea or emotion directly onto the canvas. I try to plan things out too much. I am always trying to infuse my work with life. I am trying to bring the painting to life, giving it weight, a personality. I work on paintings for a long time, with many painting sessions changing it and forming it as I go. As I work, I am adding layers and layers, allowing some images or information to show through. These layers are part of the "personality" of the painting. The layers allow for different facets of the painting's personality to be apparent. I want the viewer to see new things as they spend time with the work.
MoL: It says on your personal site that your most recent artwork focuses on "small bits" or "fragments of information." Why choose to create abstract fragments, rather than depictions of entirety, in your work?
JG: I have a series of work based on "bits" of information. I see these bits of information as cells, DNA, etc. They are parts of the whole but they have a huge impact on the larger whole. I guess I am fascinated by the fact that these microscopic things determine the health and future of every living being.
MoL: Many of your artworks are filled with a variety of lively colorations. Does color play a big role in your artistic process? Do certain fragments in your artwork speak to particular color hues?
JG: Color can really influence my mood, so sometimes I gravitate towards certain colors like yellow and orange in the dead of winter when it is so grey outside. Color seems like it can be a creative crutch for me sometimes, so lately I have been working more monochromatically or with black and white plus one color.
MoL: Where do you look for inspiration?
JG: I look a lot at the rural landscape around my home. I like the angles/shapes of mills, factories and barns around me too. I also love to zoom-in on seedpods, leaves etc. for inspiration. I also have many typography books and vintage biology books I look at quite often.
MoL: What is your favorite quote?
JG: "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
-Twyla Tharp.
I use this quote in my Etsy shop. I think it really sums up the way I feel when I am making art and hopefully the people who have my art in their homes can relate to it too.
MoL: How do you achieve a peace of mind and spirit?
JG: Nature. I love just sitting outside, looking at the oak trees around my house or going to the coast during the winter and watching the storms.
MoL: What is your favorite hobby?
JG: I love camping with my husband and dogs.
MoL: Who is an influential figure in your life?
JG: My step-father Jack Welpott was a well known photographer, so when he encouraged my painting it meant the world.
MoL: If you could have a conversation with any artist of the past or present, who would it be and why?
JG: I would love to talk to Richard Diebenkorn about his change of styles during the 60s and 70s.
MoL: What period of art do you most admire?
JG: I really like the abstract expressionists of the 50's.
MoL: It says on your personal site that "a theme that has run through [your] work for years is the act of covering, layering, hiding, censoring, and the control [you] have to only show part of the story." Why choose to "only show part of the story?"
JG: Well, I would never presume to know the full story about anything, but I am mostly thinking about people's stories. Even people who you think you know really well always keep certain things private. People control what they let you see.
MoL: When was the moment you realized you could really do this?
JG: When the first show I ever had just about sold out (my prices were super low).
MoL: What is the message you hope to project through your artwork? What feelings do you hope to convey?
JG: My paintings are about being human; the need to create that is human. My paintings hopefully express freedom, hopefulness and positivity.
MoL: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
JG: I hope I am able to continue to do what I am doing right now; splitting my time between art and design really works for me.
MoL: What advice can you give to anyone interested in becoming an artist?
JG: Be realistic about the fact that you probably will not make much money from fine art—just be prepared to have a "day job." Otherwise, I would encourage anyone to go for it. They will be happier in the long run for exploring art in their life.
