In the federal province of Salzburg, the EPC is necessary in order to receive an energy-related subsidy, and the process follows a two-step procedure: to receive a construction permission, the planning EPC has to be issued and accepted by the officials; additional changes during the implementation planning have to be considered in the updated (or completion) EPC, which proves whether the final planning and completion of the building still meets the requirements in terms of energy performance in order to receive the subsidy. This two-step model can serve as role model procedure for other federal provinces in Austria.
This study investigates the Salzburg model concerning strengths, weaknesses, and lessons learnt. It is built around the following objectives:
- Comparison between planning and completion EPC of 26 multi-unit residential buildings in terms of quality and compliance of input data according to OIB Guideline 6 and adaptations on federal province level, evaluation and analysis of deviations.
- Recalculation of the completion EPCs of 26 multi-unit residential buildings by independent personnel according to OIB Guideline 6 and information specifically collected for this purpose such as implementation plans; evaluation and analysis of deviations.
- Detailed technical investigation of compliant input data concerning the impact of compliant default input values stated in OIB Guideline 6 compared to compliant specific input values according to detailed calculation procedures following OIB Guideline 6 including references to Austrian and ISO standards.
- On-site investigation of 11 selected buildings out of the 26 multi-unit residential buildings.

As all gardeners know, the English weather is one thing that we have to learn to celebrate and work with, no matter what the challenges! Show gardens are no different and Preview Day at the Chatsworth Flower Show dawned more like November than June, but in spite of wind and rain there were some stunning displays and gardens on show.
We were finally able to reveal the Agriframes Garden in all its glory and one of the main talking points was the dramatic structures incorporated into the design.
Fleur Porter of Sanctum Garden Design explains the thinking behind them:
"With Agriframes as our sponsor we were obviously keen to include a centrepiece structure in the garden. Our theme allowed us to do something really imaginative and to use the structure to help lead the visitor through the garden and to visually explain the thinking behind it. Luckily, with their experience in producing bespoke frames Agriframes were able to create something totally different - a pergola that changed shape as you walked through it which fitted the brief perfectly and gave us an exciting centrepiece to work around.
What we wanted to show was how we could take tubular steel and bend it in ways that would be difficult, expensive and impractical with other materials. The pergola changes shape from angular to curved, it becomes asymmetrical and it opens out into the planting to be incorporated into the garden - it is a material with a great deal of potential and the production methods used by Agriframes make it affordable, in much the same way that the artists of the Bauhaus – the theme of our garden - were using new materials and production methods to make furniture in new and affordable ways."

First stage of Waterview Shared Path opensTransport
The first stage of the $25 million Waterview Shared Path is now open, opening another key link in Auckland's growing walking and cycling network, Transport Minister Simon Bridges says.
When complete, the Waterview Shared Path will connect the suburbs of Waterview and Mount Albert, with access to the Unitec Campus and planned future transport hubs.
"This shared path will make it easier for people of all ages to get around by foot or on a bike, whether you're a student walking to the Unitec campus or a commuter cycling home to Onehunga or New Lynn," Mr Bridges says.
Running above the Waterview Tunnels which were opened to traffic earlier this month, the Waterview Shared Path is one of several community facilities now open, which were delivered as part of the Waterview Connection project.
The striking arch shaped Hendon Footbridge (Te Whitinga) spans the Southwestern Motorway linking the communities of New Windsor and Owairaka. It joins with the new Southwestern Shared Path which runs alongside the motorway to the Alan Wood Reserve. Eventually it will connect with the completed Waterview Shared Path.
In the north of the project area, a Heritage Trail running under the Great North Road Interchange and beside Oakley Creek connects the communities of Waterview and Pt Chevalier.
"The Waterview Tunnel is already giving motorists more choices about how they move around Auckland, and now the Waterview Shared Path and these other walking and cycling links are helping to connect local communities, and making walking and cycling a safer and more attractive transport option," Mr Bridges says.
The first 570 metre section of the Waterview Shared Path was opened today, ahead of rest of the path later in the year, to give the local community access to the sports field and green spaces in the Unitec Campus.
The Waterview Shared Path is funded by the National Land Transport Fund and Auckland Transport, and is being delivered by the Well-Connected Alliance as part of the Waterview Connection project.

Each year we've saluted the students who came to us for their senior portraits and were graduating after putting in 12 long years of schooling. We photograph seniors from all over the area including Strongsville, Brunswick, North Royalton, Brecksville and Berea - Midpark. Plus my alma mater Padua. This year we decided to honor them with a little twist. We got quotes from parents about their senior, and favorite quotes of the seniors themselves and put them with our favorite images. So each week or so we'll salute a new Class of 2017 Senior.
So let me congratulate the Class of 2017!
- You've made this another great season!
- You've inspired me to always keep the "blinders off" in life!
- You've made me laugh, not only for the jokes but also in the stories you told.
- You've made me a believer in YOU, that you WILL make this a better world for ALL!
- You've given me the privilege to create your senior portraits.
- You've become part of OUR photography family and will me missed.

On Monday 19 November 2018, the winning tickets of the Fourth Annual Autumn Raffle were drawn by Coventry Lord Mayor John Blundell in his office at the Coventry City Council.
With 4,414 tickets in the draw, the Lord Mayor commented on the success of the raffle.
The first prize this year went to Mrs Lynda Roskruge who won a brand new 40″ HD TV. The second prize went to Mrs Wendy Elizabeth Smith who won four tickets to a Warwickshire One Day Cup Game which was very kindly donated by Edgbaston Stadium. Ten prize winners were drawn in all and are listed below.
Haemochromatosis UK – which supports patients affected by genetic haemochromatosis (also known as iron overload disorder) is one of the Coventry Lord Mayor's chosen charity of the year.
David Head, Chief Executive at HUK said, "We are delighted that we are one of the Lord Mayor's charities of the year and are thankful for his support in all of our endeavours, such as the raffle draw!"
David added, "This is the fourth year of the raffle in what has been a hugely successful year for Haemochromatosis UK. I would like to thank everyone that purchased the raffle tickets as the draw enables us to raise awareness of GH and support patients".
The draw for 2018 took place on Monday 19 November. Winners were drawn from 4,414 entries by Coventry Lord Mayor John Blundell at his office (pictured above).
- 14216, L. Roskruge: brand new 40″ HD TV.
- 21452, W.E.Smith: 4 tickets to a Warwickshire One Day Cup Game.
- 03013, C. Jarvis: 2 tickets to a Gallagher Premiership Rugby game at Ricoh Arena.
- 09983, R. Young: £50 high street voucher.
- 14214, L. Roskruge: teddy bear.
- 15904, M. Ollett: bottle of champagne.
- 20196, N. Watson: Haemochromatosis UK handbook, t-shirt, pin badge, wristband.
- 29346, A. Cowan: Haemochromatosis UK handbook, t-shirt, pin badge, wristband.
- 02335, R. Stapley: Haemochromatosis UK handbook, t-shirt, pin badge, wristband.
- 10804, G. Hemsley: Haemochromatosis UK handbook, t-shirt, pin badge, wristband.
The Annual Autumn Raffle helps bring in funds for Haemochromatosis UK, without these funds, and the continued support from membership and donations HUK would not be able to do the work we do.

Remember the time when mornings used to start with a warm cup of tea? Sipping through your morning tea, you used to read your favorite newspaper and get updated with the happenings around. However, today, one wakes up and scrolls through the mobile phone before stepping out of the bed. In fact, mornings are incomplete until one checks his inbox, Facebook, emails and now use Snapchat before heading out of bed.

Mobile apps have become part and parcel of our routine where all activities are somewhat associated with it. Be it a gym reminder, your playlist, ordering food or reserving a restaurant; all can be done through a few taps on your portable device. Thus, mobiles have become our potential soul mates, and mobile applications are an essential for this relationship.
However, mobile apps cannot just reach masses on their own; they require word of mouth or marketing in simpler terms. Engaging content always intrigues the sensibilities of the human mind. This apparently forms the basis of the rhetoric that content writing and mobile app marketing go hand in hand. Content that engages the niche audience and persuades them to install an app ultimately forms the basis of success in the long run.
In today's time, consumers have a plethora of options and choices. Thus, to appeal to human psyche is an art that only a few have been able to master. Content plays a primary role in effective marketing, merely, because it introduces the mobile app to the audience and motivates them to invest their time and resources in it.
Image Credits: GOWIDE.COM
Through content writing, a marketer can define the features, benefits, and comparative analysis of an application in an engaging manner. A user, while reading through the description, will ponder on it and make a choice. So the catalyst instigating the installation is a skillfully crafted content. Only a content writer knows how to cast a spell and create an aura by playing with words.
Mobile app marketing is not similar to traditional marketing since it takes several factors into consideration. This includes an interesting app name, screenshots, user interface, descriptions, etc. As it is evident, most of the factors in mobile app marketing are closely linked to content writing.
Nowadays, the competition is cut throat where many apps surface on an everyday basis, however, only a few are able to pave their way to glory. The recipe for success is effective content writing and adequate mobile app marketing.

I have a degree in Behavioral Neuroscience, so I have taken coursework (some at advanced levels) regarding the content that is tested on this exam. I've tutored several students in the exam and similar exams. I focus on content review when it comes to the math and science sections, and focus on practice when it comes to the reading and English sections. I focus on test-taking techniques and time management strategy. From there I develop a customized plan to help the student bridge any weaknesses and maximize score gains. [more]

From the Archives tales of the Centurions... your stories
My Story.. by Chris Bolton
In May 1957 I went to Blackpool to watch the finish of the Manchester to Blackpool relay race. This was an eleven man relay featuring the best running clubs from the Midlands and North of England.
It was there that I met Vic Murray who told me that each year he walked Manchester to Blackpool, a distance of 51.75 miles. I couldn't believe anyone could walk that far; he then told me that he had walked 100 miles within 24 hours and was Centurion No. 256. At that moment ambition was born and I knew that I wanted to be a Centurion.
Four weeks later, aged eighteen and with no training or preparation I stood on the start line at 6:15 am to walk from Manchester to Blackpool. With only the confidence and ignorance of youth I kept with Vic for forty miles. At that point I decided to retire and a message was sent for a car to pick me up. After sitting at the side of the road for forty minutes I realised that the message must have gone astray and as one of last walkers passed (Billy Watson C146) I decided to join him and finish the race. In the end I finished in 11 hours and 3 minutes, just behind Billy but in last place.
Well that certainly wasn't an auspicious start but I was hooked. Five years later I finished the Manchester to Blackpool Walk in fourth position and led Lancashire Walking Club to the Team Title.
Seven days later I qualified as a Centurion, finishing together with Brian Howarth and Paddy Dowling, and I would be forever grateful for the chance meeting with Vic Murray.
On crossing the finishing line I was the youngest Centurion at that moment, not the youngest ever. However 48 minutes later Davey Moncrieff of Sheffield crossed the line and he was three months younger than I was so that distinction didn't last long!

"Around the world, conflict is forcing record numbers of people from their homes, with over 65 million people now displaced. Children are recruited by armed groups and used to fight. Women are abused and humiliated. As humanitarian workers deliver aid and medical workers provide for those in need, they are all too often targeted or treated as threats." — UN Secretary-General, António Guterres
World Humanitarian Day (WHD) is held every year on 19 August to pay tribute to aid workers who risk their lives in humanitarian service, and to rally support for people affected by crises around the world.
2018 WHD campaign: #NotATarget
This World Humanitarian Day we continue to bring attention to the millions of civilians affected by armed conflict every day. People in cities and towns struggle to find food, water, and safe shelter, while fighting drives millions from their homes. Children are recruited and used to fight, and their schools are destroyed. Women are abused and humiliated. As humanitarian workers deliver aid, and medical workers treat the wounded and sick, they are directly targeted, treated as threats, and prevented from bringing relief and care to those in desperate need.
The humanitarian concerns described here can't possibly capture the lives of all those affected by conflict around the world. From people with disabilities, to the elderly, migrants, and journalists, all civilians caught in conflict need to be protected.
Join the #NotATarget movement and demand world leaders to do everything in their power to protect all civilians in conflict.

I Wonder (Sleeping Beauty) lyrics
I Wonder (Sleeping Beauty)I wonder, I wonder
I wonder why each
Little bird has someone
To sing to sweet things to
A gay little love melody?
I wonder, I wonder
If my heart keeps singing
Will my song go winging
To someone who'll find me
And bring back a love song to me?

The Mount Vernon Community is divided into two communities in many ways. East of U.S. 1 along the Potomac River there are approximately 14 preschools. West of U.S. 1, there are virtually none. Schools that draw diverse student populations from west of U.S. 1 have significant challenges with testing scores bearing out challenges for students from families with lower incomes (Mt. Vernon Gazette, Test Scores: It's Complicated (May 27, 2010)).
One of the biggest problems is a shortage of money. There is more demand for Head Start and subsidized childcare than there are slots. The state budget is severely restricted. Local budgets are very tight due to the recession and limited revenue sources. Full funding could go a long way toward mitigating these problems.
Our group also identified the following problems with access and utilization of preschool, quality childcare and/or early childhood education in the corridor:
- Affordability for Low-Income Families
- Cultural Barriers
- Language Barriers
- Affordable Transportation Options
- Lack of Affordable Space for Operations
- Lack of Affordable Options or Subsidized Slots in Existing Programs
- Lack of Convenient Options (Both in terms of locations and hours of operation)
- Lack of Effective Parent Mentoring Programs
- Lack of Federal, State and Local Funding for Head Start, Early Childhood Education, and Quality Childcare Programs.
We also identified the following areas to focus on in moving forward:
- Identifying obstacles and strategies to achieve full federal Head Start funding
- Determining the long-term status of the old Mt. Vernon High School property and initiating discussions regarding use of the property for pre-K education
- Investigating the feasibility of tax credits for commercial property owners in areas underserved by low-rent facilities such as churches
- Investigating feasibility of government-supported transportation options for childcare
- Reviewing ways to stop proposed state rules to limit state support of subsidized childcare to five years per family.
- Investigating licensed daycare provider rules to ascertain feasibility of setting standards for quality of time children spend in childcare and not just safety metrics.
- Investigating feasibility of developing model curriculum and/or grant programs for parent mentoring.
If you have any ideas about any of these programs as we continue this discussion and look toward solutions, please feel free to post your comments here or email them to my aide, Chris Bea, at email@example.com. Also, please contact us if you would like to attend our meetings and participate in the discussions.

Hey, can I teach you a good recoloring technique? You right-click the color you want, and left-click the color you want to get rid of. Then you pick the eraser, and right-click hold down. While doing this, you swipe over the sprites. That should change the color.

"Le bateau et le cove de Peggy???? Ne pas."
Obviously the above is grammatically incorrect, but I let it slide.
It's winter! And... I like it. I can't believe I'm saying that. But it's fake winter. The temperature rarely dips below -5C. The snow is wet and heavy, instead of fluffy and soft. Also, it helps that Christmas Break was fantastically fun, and included some outdoor fun.
Things I like about winter: (note, this is pre-deep freeze that will eventually come, and when I will flee to Mexico like a criminal)
- The white snow reflects light, so even though it's dark early, it doesn't seem quite as dark as it would without the snow.
- Functioning winter clothes, e.g., the kind that actually keep you warm. Although Charlottetown isn't too much colder than Paris was (though much damper is the Isle), I have my real winter clothes here and it makes a huge difference.
- When you are walking outside, it's snowing, but the wind is at yee back so it looks like snow is dancing in front of you, yet you do not freeze.
- Sledding.
- Adventures of walking in unexplored land. This weekend we explored PEI's highest "peak". It was a very daring adventure. Appropriate write-up will eventually follow.
- My 'stompy' winter boots that make me feel like I can kick in doors and stomp through the cruddiest of snow.
- Snuggling under many layers of blankets.
- Listening to the wind.
- Power outages. Yes, I like them. They force you to do nothing but relax and slow down. NOTE: this bullet is omitted if power has been out for so long that one must seek shelter due to lack of heat.
- Watching the kids at the daycare outside my window play in the snow, oblivious to any cold.
- Hair is generally not frizzy!
- Static electricity
- Hat hair
- Learning the hard way that ones boots are not waterproof
- Car accidents
- Feeling really, really pale
- Deep freezes with ridiculous windchills
I did the Polar Bear Dip this year! This is my pre-game face of nerves.
Yes folks, that is the look of a strong-hearted, confident champion. One who laughs in the face of uncertainty.
I had a spotter that day, on hand with towels, slippers - the supplies one must have when crashing into just above freezing water. However, the most important tool she was armed with was my camera. She correctly pointed out that she would not be able to photograph my reaction upon entering the water, so I displayed a fake reaction, which was perhaps more dramatic of my real reaction which I don't remember. However, somehow.. I don't think I cursed upon entering the water.
And before you know it... it's done. I feel like I should be famous among the mortals who did not participate in the icy endeavor. HAIL JENNIFER! We were about 3/4 of the way back in the crowd. Strategic, as those first in would have to crush through the ice with their shins, AND face the oncoming crowd when trying to hustle out of the water.
In the end, I did not dunk under the water, but I believe I went waste deep. I could have went deeper, but the water gushing into my sneakers was causing slight panic to creep into my brain because, well, the water was pretty damn cold. As I turned around to come out, the rocks were super slippery and I recall having a flash oh, "WHAT IF YOU ARE NEVER ABLE TO GET PAST THE SLIPPY ROCKS AND YOU FREEZE? AND NEED TO BE RESCUED AND LOOK LIKE A KNOB??"
Luckily that did not happen.
And standing around after was not so bad, except the feet. I have never had so little feeling in my toes ever before. Taking my sneakers off was hard, like picking up a sleeping uncooperative animal. Putting on slippers was also challenging. It felt like trying to to put a small plastic bag around a giant box or something.
So it was done! I feel it's a good way to start off the year. Something a bit whacky, a lil' nutty, hopefully foreshadowing for the year to come.
Et, la fin.

LAS VEGAS — At the GOP debate Tuesday evening, Dr. Ben Carson used part of his opening statement to ask for a moment of silence to remember the victims of the San Bernardino terror attack earlier this month. He then bowed his head in prayer before continuing with his remarks.
At first, Carson's idea seemed like an odd political gimmick. It almost seemed to affirm the Saturday Night Live parody of Carson as a sleepy, quiet candidate.
But as the seconds ticked away, the moment sank in, and Carson's gesture began to seem not only clever, but noble.
It is astonishing that CNN did not hold a moment of silence at the start of the GOP debate, given that so many of the questions in both the undercard and the main event are focused on national security. It is even more astonishing that frequent critics of CNN–such as those of us at Breitbart News–did not pounce on CNN's glaring omission.
Dr. Carson's moment of silence shamed all of us. It was a reminder that the issues that the candidates are debating are not just rounds in a boxing match. It was a reminder of the gravity of the challenges that our next commander-in-chief will face.
Most of all, however, it was a reminder of the connections that bind us all as Americans–and that we have neglected for too long. A rare ennobling moment in a campaign that has tilted too far in the other direction.

WITH meatloaf and mashed potatoes achieving new fame on restaurant menus, it stands to reason that sweets straight out of the home pantry, like graham crackers, Oreos and chocolate-chip cookies, would not be far behind. They are right behind, in fact, ready and waiting to be served for dessert as soon as the main course is cleared.
But these aren't packaged cookies. For several years, chefs in restaurants known for their inventive and trend-setting menus have been baking their own versions of popular everyday cookies.
What a relief. Now, home cooks who want to serve restaurant-style desserts for a dinner party don't have to struggle with layers of puff pastry or delicate genoise batters to fashion exquisite confections. They can simply whip up a batch of chocolate-chip cookies or ginger snaps the way top chefs do.
"We get as many as 50 orders a night for the chocolate-chip cookies," said Peter Assue, the chef at the Chefs Cuisiniers Club in Manhattan. His chocolate-chip cookies are monster size, a good five inches across. They are an aggregate of walnuts, pecans, chocolate nuggets and oatmeal, richly knitted together with butter, sugar and flour.
Mr. Assue, a native of Trinidad, is a relative latecomer to chocolate-chip cookies, having discovered them at the age of 24, when he came to the United States to study at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. "I fell in love with them," he said. So, two and a half years ago, when he started working at the Chefs Cuisiniers Club, he also began working on its cookie recipe, adding two kinds of nuts and oatmeal and using Valrhona chocolate, which he chops by hand.
"This is a bistro-type place, so I thought it would be a good idea to serve cookies like these," he said.
Sometimes a customer will order milk with them. "I think most people are embarrassed to do that," he said. One night recently, Marcella Hazan, the Italian cooking teacher, had hers with Jack Daniel's on the rocks.
A plate of cookies at the end of a meal is nothing new, of course, but increasingly, restaurant cookies have the honest, gutsy character of Mr. Assue's.
At Stars, in San Francisco, the assortment on the cookie plate, which has been served for four years, is a roundup of the usual suspects, like chocolate-chip, ginger and sugar cookies.
The restaurant's own lush version of Oreos is also featured. The pastry chef, Emily Luchetti, calls them Stareos because they are cut in star shapes.
"I wanted to make a gourmet version of the Oreo," she said. "So I decided to use a chocolate-shortbread cookie and a mascarpone filling." Ingredients like those are what make the cookies worthy of $50 dinners.
But there is more to this dessert than the element of unbuttoned chic. American chefs today, many of whom can be as challenged by mashed potatoes as by pommes souffles, love taking humble food and making it sensationally delicious by preparing it fresh and using first-rate ingredients.
It's the same attitude that inspired Tom Valenti, the chef at Alison on Dominick Street in Manhattan, and Stephen Durfee, the pastry chef, to bake their own graham crackers and make marshmallows from scratch to construct s'mores, those gooey, chocolate campfire confections.
"S'mores were something I grew up with and loved, especially when we went camping," said Mr. Valenti, a native of Ithaca, N.Y.
Mr. Durfee, who grew up eating s'mores in Pittsfield, Mass., has lately started frying old-fashioned apple cider doughnuts, another boyhood favorite, and serving them with dessert.
Most people never outgrow the taste for such treats. Those who wind up making a living in the kitchens of fine restaurants are no different. Stareos Adapted from "Stars Desserts," by Emily Luchetti (HarperCollins, 1991) Total time: 2 1/2 hours, plus 2 hours' cool ing 1 1/2 cups flour, plus some for work surface Pinch of salt 1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted 8 ounces unsalted butter (2 sticks), in small pieces 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon 1 cup mascarpone 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.

4. Line one or more baking sheets with parchment paper, and put cookies on them. Cookies should not touch but can be close together because they do not spread in baking. Put baking sheets in freezer 1 hour, stacking if necessary.
5. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
6. Bake the cookies 1 hour, until firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, at least 2 hours, before filling.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour several baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together, and set aside.
3. Cream the butter with both sugars until it is light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Scrape seeds out of vanilla bean and add them. Add milk, and mix. Stir in oats. Add the sifted dry ingredients, and stir just until blended.
4. Stir in chocolate and nuts.
5. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between cookies. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Place baking sheets on cooling racks. Let cookies cool 10 minutes; then remove from baking sheets and serve, or place them on racks to continue cooling. Repeat as necessary to use all batter.
Yield: about 45 big cookies.
Approximate nutritional analysis per cookie: 215 calories, 15 grams fat, 35 milligrams cholesterol, 50 milligrams sodium, 2 grams protein, 20 grams carbohydrate.
S'mores Adapted from Tom Valenti and Stephen Durfee Total time: 1 1/2 hours, including the baking of the graham crackers Oil for baking sheet 36 graham crackers (see recipe) 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted 18 large marshmallows.
1. Preheat broiler. Cover small baking sheet with foil, and lightly oil the foil.
2. Put graham crackers top side down on a cutting board or baking sheet. Slather each with chocolate.
3. Put marshmallows on the baking sheet, and broil a few seconds, until tops are browned. Turn over to brown the other side.
4. Put a toasted marshmallow on half of the chocolate-coated graham crackers. Top each with another graham, chocolate side down, and serve.
Yield: 6 to 9 servings.
Approximate nutritional analysis per cookie: 140 calories, 7 grams fat, 15milligrams cholesterol, 15 milligrams sodium, 2 grams protein, 20 grams carbohydrate.
Graham Crackers Total time: 1 hour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (graham flour) 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt 4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature 3 tablespoons light-brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside.
3. In a food processor or by hand, cream the butter and sugars together. Add honey and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, and process or beat until a dough is formed.
4. Form dough into a rectangle and roll it very thin between two sheets of wax paper, to about 6 by 12 inches. Then freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
5. Remove top layer of wax paper and cut dough into 36 2-inch squares. Place squares close together on a baking sheet. Prick centers with tines of a fork. If necessary, re-roll, chill, and cut any scraps.
6. Bake cookies 15 minutes, until they just begin to color. Leave them on the baking sheet 10 minutes; then, transfer to racks to cool before using.
Yield: 36 graham crackers

Earned Value Management
Shawna Jones:
Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 5:43 PM
Earned value management (EVM) is a an approach that integrates schedule and cost to allow a program to assess the performance of the project. EVM emerged in the 1960's due to the the Department of Defense (DOD) requirement for contractors to manage complex defense programs more effectively. Years later, in the 1990's, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) worked with industry to develop a set of best practices to apply through out the federal government, which has been adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards have since been categorized into 32 guidelines, and applied to all federal contractors with contracts over $ 20 million. Today EVM is used broadly across all federal agencies, not just the DOD. It is worth noting that defense contractors understand the importance of EVM to projects, and many apply it to their commercial contracts as well. Earned value management is a proven project management methodology.

A million dollar idea
Sunday, February 2, 2014
Author Gary Marcus is a New York University psychologist. In his book, "Kluge: the haphazard construction of the human mind" (Houghton Mifflin, 2008), he provides an accessible and entertaining case for the human brain as something of an evolutionary mishmash. After providing a raft of evidence that suggests that if we were crafted by an Intelligent Designer, He was either a shockingly absent-minded engineer, or was off His meds, Marcus gets to the gist of it:
"It would be foolish to routinely surrender our considered judgment to our unconscious, reflexive system, vulnerable and biased as it often is. But it would just as silly to abandon the ancestral reflexive system altogether: it's not entirely irrational, just less reasoned. In the final analysis, evolution has left us with two systems, each with different capabilities: a reflexive system that excels in handling the routine and a deliberative system that can help us think outside the box."
In his concluding chapter, he even gives 13 suggestions for some strategies to deal with our sneaky and persistent "ancestral system." While not earth-shaking, they are sensible and useful. The last one leaves me thoughtful: "Try to be rational." In a host of ways, that's certainly a good idea, at least when it protects us from the more egregious traps our wee brains routinely fall for. And yet. There are times, surely, when the grand delusion is both more spontaneous and more creative.
At any rate, it's a fun and fast read.

Vision: A world where capital market signals align with public policy goals on sustainable development.
Mission:To build the capacity of stock exchanges and securities market regulators to promote responsible investment in sustainable development and advance corporate performance on environmental, social and governance issues.
What is the SSE: The SSE, launched in 2009 by the UN Secretary General, is a UN Partnership Programme of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the UN Global Compact, the UN Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), and the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The SSE convenes Partner Exchanges from around the world who join the SSE by signing a voluntary public commitment.
How the SSE works: The Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative has three inter-related pillars of activity: research, consensus building and technical assistance. The SSE builds its work on collaboration and partnerships for the greatest impact. The SSE aims to include representatives of all capital market stakeholders in all of its workstreams and has a network of stock exchanges, capital market regulators, investors, companies and other experts that engage with the SSE on a regular basis.
What the SSE works on: Like many United Nations initiatives, the SSE looks to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as agreed upon by the General Assembly within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, to help focus its activities. The SDGs cover a broad range of environmental and social targets categorized into 17 goals and 169 targets. Of these, the SSE focuses on four ley SDG targets that are particularly relevant for stock exchanges, as well as contributing to a fifth, SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals, as a cross-cutting theme. The SSE organizes its work with stock exchanges around these key themes: SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 8 Decent work and Economic Growth, SDG 13 Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 13 Climate Action. In doing so, the SSE also contributes to other SDGs, such as SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, but these fall within the SSE's work on green finance for SDG 13 Climate Action.

New York…where to begin! Any place where you can get a slice of pizza for $1 is alright by me.
I have never before experienced a city like New York, but having been an avid viewer of Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Friends and the like, I was sure that my time would include celebrity sightings, giant hot dogs and numerous shopping expeditions. Of course, reality never does quite meet your expectations, but in the case of New York it came pretty close.
New York is filled with a constant buzz. It is addictive in all its intensity and unpredictability. In New York, within the space of a few blocks seedy can turn into elegant, and grunge can turn into chic. You never know exactly what will be around the corner. For this very reason the best way to experience The Big Apple is to walk everywhere and anywhere, and I implore you to spend at least part of your time in NYC simply wandering the streets (with a pretzel in hand).
New York is also city of eccentricity, where each person is a type: from the break dancers trying to make it on the Subway, to the laundromat manager who reveres Oprah. The city's attraction draws people from all walks of life, and the characters of New York are part of what makes the city so unique.
As a visitor to New York, I spent every minute partaking in every typical cliched tourist activity imaginable, which included ice-skating in central park, gazing upon the Empire State Building, eating yoghurt on the steps of the Met (xoxo, Gossip Girl), walking the Highline, shopping where I couldn't afford, viewing the city from Brooklyn Bridge, eating a bagel filled with so much cream cheese it could feed an entire country, watching a basketball game decked out in the Knick's merch, and becoming emotionally overwhelmed whilst visiting the 9/11 memorial. But the best part of my time in New York was being there with my best friends, who were there by my side to share in my excitement at seeing a squirrel in Central Park, and in my despair at finding that Central Perk does not actually exist. Most importantly, visiting New York with your friends means that you can always count on someone to persuade you to eat that second, third or fourth slice of pizza/pretzel/bagel/hero sandwich…the list goes on.

Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus isn't happy with the inconsistency shown by Matthew Boyd and the rest of the team's pitching staff, and he made that known Tuesday night.
Boyd allowed seven runs and seven hits in 2⅓ innings of a 13-4 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
"The truth is with Matt Boyd at this point, he's going to have to learn how to pitch or there's going to be a move made with him," Ausmus said. "I think it's best that he pitches against major league hitters, sees if he can figure out how to get them out consistently.
"He shows flashes of having that ability but at some point, he's going to have to do it on a consistent basis. Simple as that. It's a performance-based game. If you don't perform, the game is going to catch up to you."
Ausmus was particularly irritated by Boyd's three walks as the pitcher gave up three runs in the first -- two on a two-run home run by Gary Sanchez -- and then allowed four runs in the third.
"At some point, there's an expiration date on how much rope you're given," Ausmus said. "I don't want to act like I'm putting pressure on people but hey, this is the big leagues. If you want to pitch in the big leagues, you've got to throw strikes and you've got to get outs and you gotta do it somewhat consistently. I think you give young guys some room to grow and learn, but it can't last forever."
Said Boyd, who has allowed at least four runs in each of his past three starts: "You've got to focus on the task at hand and today, I just wasn't good.
"In terms of a leash of what other people decide about me, that's out of my control. I need to be better, I know I need to be better and that's what I'm going to work on when I step outside of the door tomorrow."
The Tigers' pitching staff ranks 29th in the majors with a 5.11 ERA as the team sits 16 games below .500 at 54-70.
"These guys are getting the opportunity to pitch at the major league level because of the situation that we're in because of a standings perspective," Ausmus said. "You're going to have to throw strikes. You're going to have to get big league hitters out. It's not rocket science."

The names of people in my generation were the traditional Spanish or American names. In school it's more likely we had classmates with names like Pablo or Edgardo, or Stephen, or Paul, or Andrew. In fact probably the only unique name in the class was Carnilo, and even that sounded traditional. But today's parents--whoo! There seems to be a trend towards over-the-top names. It's as if parents want their kids to stand out, that by bequeathing them with names whose provenance is their own creativity, they somehow bestow upon their offspring some sense of being special. At least they hope so.
Kids' names today are vaguely American, vaguely French, vaguely British, Jewish, Arabic, exotic... and totally Pinoy, a lot of them with unnecessarily doubled letters, the preponderance of the letter Y as a vowel, the affinity for high scoring Scrabble letters like X, Z, K (Zexthler scores a 27; so does Alyzza), and the ubiquitous overworking of poor old letter H. Creative spelling also abounds, as in the reworking of the traditional Chloe into Chlouey, or Lebron James into Levron James (probably because Lebron gets an 8 in Scrabble, while Levron gets a 9).
A recent study shows that names may indeed influence a child's destiny. This was the view of the ancients as well. One wonders what sort of destiny their parents had in mind when they named them. The Chinese Filipinos in my generation gave their children stately names--Washington, Jefferson, Winston--no doubt because they wanted their children to excel. And there is something oddly mellifluous about the rhythm of a monosyllabic Chinese family name and a western 'regal' first name in combo. Plus they also have their Chinese names.
Our Chinese colleagues (Chinese Chinese) also get to give themselves Western names in addition to the Chinese names given them at birth. They do this in college if Im not mistaken, to prepare themselves for the world at large although I never understood the reason for this. Why can't they just use their Chinese names? Some opt for the usual, like Michelle, or James, or Peter, or Eric, and some can get creative: Amyly, Shmily. Some can get downright poetic: Friends, Golden, Four Fires, Dragon, Seaboy. One, for some reason, chose the name Oven. But like I sain, they chose these names for themselves. Our kids have names chosen for them. I wonder what it would be like growing up burdened with a name like Bien Alexandraye. I would be quite a name to live up to. But then again, if you have classmates named Charlz Francoise, Natasha Christelle, Vryle Zhane, or Semn Emmanuel, I suppose you'd blend right in and won't feel any pressure at all.
Im sure the Pinoy parents have their kids' best interests at heart when they named them such. They probably have dreams for them and their future and chose their names carefully with much pondering and discussion. Perhaps I am out of touch, but from where I sit, the only destiny I see with names like those are in show business or maybe in sales. Somehow I don't see myself voting for a President Denizel Jherein D. Calubaquib.

Trump Exploited Emotions but this isn't an Era of American Greatness
Trump gave a one hour speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday focussing on foreign policy and security. He promised immigration control, repealing and replacing Obamacare, fighting Isis and creating jobs. Not only did he claim inaccurate facts and avoided details, but he also made the most controversial of announcements, promising the creation of a "Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement" office amidst Democrats' gasps.
For many commentators, this was a much more optimistic speech compared to the dark themes of American "carnage" of his inaugural address. He talked about finding "common ground", but this sounded paradoxical, especially coming from someone who has been relentlessly attacking the media on Twitter. Reading from a teleprompter, he said: "I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart."
Among the stone-faced Democrats and Democratic women dressed in white—stressing inequality and honouring the suffragettes—Trump's Republican side met his announcements with cheers and applause. When the president bragged about how he "drained the swamp" of government corruption, the Democrats laughed contemptuously at Trump's cabinet sitting in the audience: they were the same Wall Street corrupt elites he was blaming for his neglected "people."
"A new chapter of American Greatness is now beginning"
He began by asserting that America is a nation "condemning hate and evil in all its forms", something that was received as a sign of Trump's milder stance towards foreigners.
The talk was characterised by its populism—the good ordinary people, on the one hand, and the bad corrupt elites, on the other hand. But the problem is that this reference to all as "the people" can mean whatever anyone wants it to mean and can legitimate agendas which might end up being harmful to this group of people. In this respect, Trump's project and speech are also moralising—it's not about rich and poor, equality or inequality, but a separation of the world into good and bad. Trump and Theresa May are very similar because they always address these good hardworking people who have been exploited by the establishment for a long time and whose voices can no longer be neglected. But these real people that Trump refers to are only those who are on his side, not the ones who might disagree with him. And, as a messiah, only Trump himself can solve the American people's problems: "Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved.''
Walls and anti-immigration policies
In his speech, he reminded his audience of all the good things his administration is planning, especially, his fantastic US-Mexico wall which brings together two of his big promises: anti-immigration policies and the creation of more jobs. But, by negatively and dangerously associating unemployment to immigration, he is spreading hatred instead of optimism for the future. There is nothing more divisive than separating people between "us and them" and blaming one group for the misfortunes of the other group.
Trump said: "my Administration has answered the pleas of the American people for immigration enforcement and border security. By finally enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone. We want all Americans to succeed –- but that can't happen in an environment of lawless chaos. We must restore integrity and the rule of law to our borders.
For that reason, we will soon begin the construction of a great wall along our southern border. It will be started ahead of schedule and, when finished, it will be a very effective weapon against drugs and crime."
In addition, "radical Islamic terrorism" was also associated with uncontrolled immigration and he defended again his travel ban—a new version will be available on Wednesday (1 March). He said: "It is not compassionate, but reckless, to allow uncontrolled entry from places where proper vetting cannot occur ... We cannot allow a beachhead of terrorism to form inside America – we cannot allow our nation to become a sanctuary for extremists."
So, if this is the new chapter of American greatness, then many of us will need to redefine language because Trump is changing the meaning of fundamental principles.
Inaccurate claims
Trump claimed that many companies announced that they will be investing "billions and billions of dollars" in the US and create thousands of new jobs, but a Bloomberg analysis showed that many of these decisions were made before Trump's presidency and many didn't create any jobs at all.
Another suspicious claim had to do with corporate tax. He claimed that: "Right now, American companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world." But, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the US is not in the top 30 highest-taxed nations in the world. He continued: "My economic team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone. It will be a big, big cut. At the same time, we will provide massive tax relief for the middle class."
But Tax Foundation has demonstrated that Trump's tax cuts will go to the top 1% of earners, whereas families below the top 20% of earners will have income gains below 1%.
Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority leader in the Senate, said that "The speech and the reality have never been more detached in a presidential speech."
Obamacare: thumbs down
Trump attacked Obamacare amidst cheers from Republicans and called for unity in a denigrating manner: "I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in the Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster." Two Democrats gave a thumbs down sign.
Voice – Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement
Democrats grunted and showed their disapproval when Trump said he would be creating an office for American victims. He then proceeded to introduce Jamiel Shaw, Susan Oliver, Jenna Oliver, and Jessica Davis, "brave Americans whose government failed them." Their family members were murdered by "illegal immigrants" and they were Trump's witnesses to his cause.
In an emotional moment, Trump turned his attention to Carryn Owens, the widow of a US Navy Seal Ryan Owens who got killed in a raid in Yemen. Obama was against the raid, which he thought to be unnecessary, while there are suspicions that Trump or generals had demanded it. Fox News broadcast an interview with Trump in which he said that "This is a mission that was started before I got here, this is something that was, they [my generals] wanted to do. And they lost Ryan." According to the Guardian, Trump approved the raid himself. Among those killed in the operation was an eight-year-old girl and an unspecified number of civilian non-combatants, including children.
In his speech, Trump claimed: "Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies." But this is now questionable. The NBC said that the raid didn't generate any intelligence, and CBS suggested that one of the possible objectives could have been to kill or capture al-Qaida fighters.
While his wife attended the speech, Ryan's father, William Owens declined to meet the president and said to the Miami Herald that the government owed his son an investigation, questioning the reasons behind the raid. He said: "Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn't even barely a week into his administration? Why? For two years prior there were no boots on the ground in Yemen – everything was missiles and drones – because there was not a target worth one American life. Now all of a sudden we had to make this grand display.''
It's my party
The speech was a sad display for unity, but behind notions of optimism and calls for a common ground, there were no major legislations or concrete plans. At points, the cynical parading of people's stories felt like a staged fiasco, whereas behind there were more truths and facts to uncover. There will be more stories of everyday people that Trump will continue to omit as he's re-writing his-story.
The unequal focus on American lives lost, as opposed to the many lives of others killed by Americans abroad, was another gaping wound at the heart of Trump's politics. His broad-brush strokes and insistence on a politics of fear were still there, in every comma and dramatic pause of his speech. The problem is, this is Trump's party and the rest of us can be invited or disinvited at will.
