From guest Amie Chilson:
This morning I sat on the Ventura boardwalk curb with my feet in the sand, journal on my lap, and watched surfers glide on baby waves in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. I needed to write, needed to cry, and desperately needed to release my pent-up anger and frustration that I'd been carrying for the last two weeks.
Fresh were the wounds of my recent move, where my professional moving company took negligent and scandalous care of our belongings by overcharging, classic bait n switch, "losing" irreplaceable memorabilia, damaging and destroying 75% of our possessions, and downright stealing certain things, one of which was our $450 Stainless Steel Sonoma BBQ Grill. The fight I would have to take to them for vindication required exhausting time and money; neither of which I had extra to donate at the moment as I got back on my feet in a new city.
I'd been robbed six times in the past at varying degrees, and every time that gut-wrenching feeling of violation is like taking a punch to the stomach. It hurts a lot and will knock the wind out of ya. As I pondered the meaning of abundance and being able to replace many of the belongings someday, the hate welled up and toppled over my eyelids in the form of tears at the feeling of helplessness. Bad people had planned to take advantage of me, and they continue doing so to others. I wanted to punish them.
At my side was a book I'd grabbed to bring with me to the beach for post-run meditation. When I had thrown it in the car with my running gear and journal, it hadn't crossed my mind why that exact book ended up with me at the beach; it had not been a conscious decision. Now I wiped the tears from my eyes, focused on it and gasped. Sitting next to me was Viktor Frankl's, "Man's Search For Meaning", a tattered and yellowing paperback copy that had altered the way I viewed life, purpose and suffering.
Frankl was a Jewish Author-Psychiatrist who endured the Nazi death camps during World War II. He watched all his possessions, including life's work manuscript, stripped from him, and his entire family and wife, excepting his sister, perish in the camps and sent to the gas ovens. Through this life-changing account of absolute injustice, hunger and cruelty, he volunteers himself as his own experiment to examine suffering and the true meaning of existence. He boils life down to the very essence, and while not even having control of his own naked and starving body, he still is responsible for the thoughts he thinks and how he chooses to perceive life; Exist with hate, apathy and anger for the horrific misery he and his family/friends and Jewish people undergo, or find meaning in what most perceived as senseless suffering.
At that moment I started laughing on the beach, which caused nearby dosing homeless guys to pick up their heads and give me a half glance. I couldn't have scripted better irony than this! Here I was, a blessed woman in my prime, my brand new house minutes from beautiful beaches and living a charmed life; I was crying over my lost barbeque when courageous people like Viktor Frankl had endured such suffering! As I gazed at his face on the book I could hear his words to me, "Let it go, Amie," and I agreed with him.
One of my favorite spiritual leaders is Lester Levenson, and he said, "Peace is non resistance, complete acceptance, identification with the all, with everyone, everything." I had been resisting like a crazy woman and hurting myself in the meanwhile, and what came with it was more negativity, tension and bad news. We all know what you resist persists…and I was so ready to live in peace.
Was it possible I set up this lesson for myself so I could learn to let go, release, and not be attached to anything? My beliefs take me down the road of reincarnation and pre-ordaining (not pre-destination, as free will is sacred) opportunities and signs along the way in life to evolve as a human being through the contrast of good and bad experiences. If so, ouch! My soul must be a little dense learning and re-learning through remedial courses this time around…
Buddha says, "You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger." My un-checked emotions had taken me over and I lost awareness of how it affected everything I was doing and being.
It caused me to contemplate the last 24 months of my whirlwind life, and as I did so I realized I had already let go of so many things: unhealthy friendships, poor business relationships, two companies of which I poured my lifeblood into, a network that took me 10 years to build, credit/cash, and family members who passed away. Letting go = freedom. Attachments and aversions = pain. What do I want to feel? Like Frankl learned in the Nazi concentration camps… your mind is the only place you can find freedom, it is not in our external situations.
"Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." -- Viktor Frankl
With the sun on my face and healing seabreeze in the air, every wave the surfers caught and rode, a little more of my anger was released with each and went out with the tide. I choose to be free.
Much Gratitude,
Amie Chilson
Visionary. Teacher. Fearless Leader.

On Thursday 28 June, Melbourne visual artist Mitchell Toy visited Geelong Lutheran College to share his knowledge of the studio process and his personal art making methods. He presented students with a range of traditional drawing and paintings methods used for creating artworks, such as the Rule of Thirds and the Golden Ratio.
Mitchell also shared his personal works and how he used traditional compositional methods to create some of his most successful artworks. He also shared his use of the gridding technique to transfer images into final artworks, as some students at Geelong Lutheran College implement in many of their own works. Mitchell played a drawing game with students they would create a drawing based on a word presented. Often, the image would change as the game progressed similarly to Chinese whispers.
Student attempted their own sketch based on the Rule of Thirds and produced some beautiful and interesting sketches in the short time.
The students had a fantastic time learning to apply new skills and theories and look forward to seeing how their studio process flourishes in the coming months.

Findlay, Ohio – Facing 30 mph straight-line winds, the University of Findlay baseball team earned its first Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) double-header sweep of the season, winning both games on Monday, March 19 against Davis & Elkins. With the wins the Oilers improve to 10-4 overall with a 3-1 mark in league play while the Senators fall to 4-17 overall and 0-4 in the G-MAC.
Game 1 (W 12-3 | Box Score)
Davis & Elkins took an early lead as they scored a single run in the top of the first inning of play, but it was the only lead the Senators would have all day. Findlay plated three runs in the third inning when, after a walk and a bunt to leadoff the inning, Nic Varda laced a double to left center field to score Findlay's first run. A walk loaded the bases and two passed balls allowed the Oilers to take a 3-1 lead through three innings of play.
Two more runs in the fifth gave the Orange and Black a 5-3 lead through six innings of play. The game was blown open in the seventh as Findlay would send 13 batters to the plate. The Oilers plated seven runs in the inning on just one hit. They were beneficiaries of three Senators' errors in the inning and also drew five walks to help take a 12-3 lead.
D&E got a couple of singles in the final two innings but it was not enough as Findlay ran away with the first game of the double-header.
Junior Tyler Kennedy earned the win on the mound as he threw six innings and allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits. He walked two and struck out five. Kennedy gave way to the bullpen duo of senior Reid Renollet and junior Tyler Rendlesham who combined for three innings work and just a pair of hits allowed.
Juinor Nic Varda finished the game 2-for-4 with a pair of walks to help pace the Findlay offense. He scored three runs and had two RBI.
Game 2 (W 5-1 | Box Score)
Back-to-back singles led off the bottom half of the first inning for Findlay. After a sacrifice bunt, Nic Varda picked up a pair of RBI with a single to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead.
Findlay added two runs in the fourth and a single run in the fifth to build a four-run cushion. That was all starter Alex Harter would need as he breezed through the Senators' lineup to earn the first complete game of his career. Harter tossed seven innings and allowed just one run on five hits. He walked three and struck out four and did so while throwing just 100 pitches.
Freshman Ethan St. Clair, who scored two runs in the contest, and Tyler Burley and senior Cameron Johsnon all had two hits in the game.
The Oilers are scheduled to be back in action on Wednesday, Mar. 21 when they play host to Tiffin University. That game will begin at 3:00 pm.

Google wants Google Drive to be your new cloud hard drive, accessible from any device. To help make this happen, Google allows third-party apps to integrate with Drive.
A Google Drive app works like a regular web app, except that it doesn't store its files on its own web servers – it stores them in your Google Drive account. To use the app – for example, to edit an image, you can open the file from the Google Drive website. It will open in its associated app, just as file extensions work on Windows. The app can then save the file right back to your Google Drive.
Using Google Drive Apps
To use an app, install it from the Chrome Web Store. You'll find a full list of Google Drive Apps on the store.
From the Google Drive website, you can open individual files in an installed app. You can also launch the app directly from the list of web apps on Chrome's new tab page.

After editing the file, it will be saved to your Google Drive and the changes will sync back to your computer, giving you seamless access to the same file everywhere, whether you're using a desktop app or web app.

It's been a little over a week since President-Elect Donald Trump claimed the White House against Hillary Clinton. Across the nation we have seen both violent and non-violent protests with Americans chanting "Not My President!". Although Portland rapper Aminé shares the same views as majority of America, he won't be found protesting synonymously to the crowds on the streets. So the next best thing was to speak his mind on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Story | Nico Blitz
Building momentum off his top 100 Billboard single about perfectly imperfect women in "Caroline", Aminé supplies an additional verse about his viewpoints on Trump's presidency, and his admiration in being a black American. He ended his verse stating:
"You can never make America great again, all you ever did was make this country hate again"
This was the Rip City rapper's first time on national television. As a 22-year-old in the game, he's made an intrepid name for himself by tackling this stunning election. This may start a domino effect for other rappers to open their stance to the public.
Amine is set to tour in New York, Los Angeles and Portland. You can purchase tickets for his tour on his website.

Hi. Hope you are having a good time. In this post, I share my learning about the regulated power supply.
Regulated is a general term used to define any type of power supply which has a stable output voltage or current independent of input or load. It may be a linear power supply, adjustable power supply or a variable power supply.
The only condition is, it must have output voltage or current independent of input (voltage) or output load (resistance or current).
If you were searching for just to know what is regulated power supply, I already gave you the answer. But if you want to study it completely, then you can follow my learning with me.
It will be fun.
- 1 Why a Regulated Power Supply?
- 2 General Design of a Regulated Power Supply
- 3 Regulated Power Supply Design (with fixed voltage)
- 4 Step By Step Method to Design 5V DC Power Supply
- 5 Make The Power Supply Safe
- 6 5V Power Supply Kit (DIY)
- 7 Regulated Power Supply Design (with adjustable/variable output)
- 8 Advantages of Regulated Power Supply
- 9 Conclusion
Why a Regulated Power Supply?
Mostly, power supplies are designed for a dedicated load and environment. But sometimes main supply voltage, load, and surrounding temperature keep changing, altering the component parameters and hence changing the output voltage. Output voltage changes are undesirable.
Let me explain why output voltage changes are undesirable. Devices have minimum and maximum input voltage and current thresholds. And you have to follow these thresholds otherwise you may harm the device.
If your power supply output voltage changes, chances are it may cross these thresholds. This is why we need a constant output voltage. And this is achieved through a regulated power supply.
A regulated power supply can be any power supply, as I said the quality it should possess is a constant output voltage. A linear power supply, or an adjustable power supply, or a variable power supply can be a regulated power supply. It may have any voltage value, like 5V, 10V, 12V and many more.
An important point to keep in mind is, a regulated power supply is not always designed for just constant output voltage, it may be designed for constant output current.
With this, you might get the idea of what is the actual difference between the regulated and unregulated power supplies. Let me re-praise it down for your side notes:
The unregulated power supply has no output voltage or output's current independent of its input main voltage or load.
General Design of a Regulated Power Supply
If you ask me to design a regulated power supply. I will immediately ask you, is it a regulated linear power supply with a fixed voltage, or adjustable power supply or a variable power supply?
Studying, in general, would a perfect solution for it, as the basic working principle of all regulated power supplies is the same.
General Block Diagram
The design of any circuit begins with a well made general block diagram. It helps us to design the sections of the circuit individually and then at the end put them together to have a complete circuit, ready for use.
The general block diagram for this project is given below. It is very simple. You need to understand which block is doing what.
We will design each section first, and then put together each of them to have our DC power supply ready to power up our projects.
The Input Transformer
A transformer is a device which can step up or step down voltage levels, following the law of conversation of energy. Depending on your country, AC coming to your home has the voltage level of 220/120 V.
We need the input transformer to step down the incoming AC to our required level.
Be careful when playing with this device. As you are using the main supply voltage which can be too dangerous. Never touch any of the terminals with bare hands or with bad instruments.
Have a good and decent non-contact voltage tester and use it to always be sure of which line are live wires coming to a transformer.
The Rectifier Circuit
If you are thinking the transformer just stepped down the voltage to a desired regulated DC voltage.
I am sorry, you are wrong like once I was.
The stepped down voltage is still AC. To convert it into DC, you need a good rectifier circuit.
A rectifier circuit converts AC into DC voltage. Basically, there are two types of the rectifier circuit; half wave and full wave.
However, the one which we are interested in is a full rectifier, as it is more power efficient than half rectifier.
The Smoothing Capacitor/Filter
Nothing is ideal in practical electronics. The rectifier circuit converts the incoming mains to DC but unluckily it can not make it a pure DC.
The rectified DC is not very clean and has ripples. It is the job of a filter to filters out these ripples, and to make the voltage compatible for regulation.
A rule of thumb is DC voltage must have less than 10 percent ripples to be regulated perfectly.
The best filter in our case is the capacitor. You may have heard, a capacitor is charge storing device.
But actually, it can be best used as a filter. It is the most inexpensive filter for our basic 5V power supply design.
The Regulator
A regulator is the linear integrated circuit use to provide a regulated constant output voltage.
Voltage regulation is very important because we do not need a change in output voltage when the load changes. A load independent of the output voltage is always required.
The Regulator IC not just makes the output voltage independent of varying loads, but also from line voltage changes.
I hope you have developed some basic concept of regulated power supply design.
let's go further with the actual circuit diagram for our specific 5V regulated power supply, so you may a very clear idea of designing.
The software which I will use is NI Multisim, hope you are familiar with it. If you are not familiar with it, no problem. It is not necessary. You can use any software. The main purpose is to learn the design, not simulation software.
Regulated Power Supply Design (with fixed voltage)
The following design steps cover the design of a regulated power supply with fixed output voltage or adjustable/variable power supply. With these steps, you can design your regulated power supply.
I am going with a specific example of 5V because I think it would be best, in this way, to understand the whole design process.
Now, you are thinking, I would start an explanation from the transformer but it is not the case. A transformer is not selected at the very first.
Below is the circuit diagram for the said project. You get the main supply, voltage and frequency can depend on your country; fuse, to protect the circuit; transformer, rectifier, capacitor filter, an LED indicator, and the regulator IC.
The block diagram is implemented in NI Multisim, a good simulation software for students and electronics beginners. I encourage spent some time playing with it. As, in my opinion, you should have a strong knowledge of simulation software in order to do fun things in learning basic electronics.
Step By Step Method to Design 5V DC Power Supply
You are thinking, I would start the design explanation from the transformer but it is not the case. A transformer is not selected at the very first.
Step 1: The Selection of Regulator IC
The selection of a regulator IC depends on your output voltage. In our case, we are designing for the 5V output voltage, we will select the LM7805 linear regulator IC.
Next thing is, we need to know voltage, current and power ratings of selected regulator IC.
This is done by using the datasheet of regulator IC. Following are the ratings, pin diagram for LM7805.
Datasheet of 7805 also prescribes to use a 0.1μF capacitor at the output side to avoid transient changes in the voltages due to changes in load.
And a 0.1μF at the input side of the regulator to avoid ripples if the filtering is far away from the regulator.
Step 2: The Selection of Transformer
The right transformer selection means saving a lot of money. We got to know, the minimum input to our selected regulator IC is 7V. So, we need a transformer to step down the main AC to at least this value.
But, between the regulator and transformer, there is a diode bridge rectifier too. The rectifier has its own voltage drop across it, i.e. 1.4V. We need to compensate for this value as well.
This means we should select the transformer with a secondary voltage value equal to 9V or at least 10% more than 9V.
From these points, for 5V DC power supply design, we can select a transformer of current rating 1A and secondary voltage of 9V or 12V.
Step 3: The Selection of Diodes for Bridge
You see, the rectifier is made by arranging diodes in some pattern. To make rectifier we need to select proper diodes for it. When selecting a diode for the bridge circuit.
Keep in mind the output load current, and maximum peak secondary voltage of the transformer i-e 9V in our case. Instead of individual diodes, you can also use one individual bridge that comes in the IC package.
But I don't want you to use here, just for purpose of learning and playing with individual diodes.
The selected diode must have the current rating more than the load current. And peak reverse voltage (PIV) more than peak secondary transformer voltage.
We select IN4001 diode because it has the current rating of 1A more than our desire rating, and peak reverse voltage of 50V.
Step 4: The Selection of Smoothing capacitor and Calculations
Things we need to keep in mind while selecting a proper capacitor filter are, its voltage, power rating, and capacitance value. T
he voltage rating is calculated from the secondary voltage of a transformer. Rule of thumb is, the capacitor voltage rating must be at least 20% more than the secondary voltage.
So, if the secondary voltage is 17 V (Peak value), then your capacitor voltage rating must be at least 50V.
Second, we need to calculate the proper capacitance value. It depends upon the output voltage and the output current. To find the proper value of capacitance, use the formula below:
Io = Load current i-e 500mA in our design, Vo = Output voltage i-e in our case 5V, f = Frequency
In our case:
Frequency is 50Hz because in our country mains AC is 220 @ 50Hz. You might have 120V @ 60Hz mains AC. If so then put the values accordingly. Then by using capacitor formula, the practical standard close to this value i-e 3.1847E-4 is 470uF.
Another important formula from the book "Electronic Devices by Thomas L. Floyd" is listed below. This can also be used to calculate the capacitor value.
In this case, R is load resistance. And Rf is ripple factor, which should be less than 10% for a good design. And with this, we just finish designing 5V power supply.
Make The Power Supply Safe
Every design must have a safety feature to protect it from burning. Similarly, our simple supply must have a one i.e. the input fuse. The input fuse will protect our supply in case of overloading. For example, our desire load can handle 500mA.
If in case our load start to miss behave, there is a chance of burring of components. The fuse will protect our supply. A rule of thumb for selecting the fuse rating is, it must be at least 20% more than the load current.
The simple power supply we designed has the capability to deliver 1A current, which in some case you can use it for. If you decide to use it for such cases, then don't forget to attach a heat sink to the regulator IC.
5V Power Supply Kit (DIY)
So, we got some basic knowledge of how a simple 5V power supply is designed.
For me, if you are an electronics hobbyist or beginner, learning some basic electronics, I would recommend you to design your own lab power supply. It would be a very good decision.
It will help you learn electronics as well as give you the best lab power supply.
I call it the best one because you will make it yourself. And I cannot put it in words how much fun it is to play with electronics in a safe environment. It is like learning from doing.
I recommend Elenco power supply kit (Amazon Link) to start with. It is affordable, high quality, and well documented to guide you with each step. Trust me you will learn a lot. You will learn how to solder, assemble, and make an end product like you always see in different stores.
Regulated Power Supply Design (with adjustable/variable output)
Most of the time we do not need a fixed voltage. Sometimes we need a variable power source.
For example, to check the transistor collector currents for different base voltages, we a need a variable power source. And this variable voltage must be regulated.
The design procedure is the same as I explained above with little changes at the output regulators.
This time we would require a variable resistor so that by varying its resistance we will have different voltages. Following is the schematic for adjustable power supply or variable power supply:
Up to led portion, the circuit is same as was for regulated power supply for 5V @ 500mA. The circuit becomes complicated after the led portion, isn't? Do not be afraid. It is very simple. A variable resistor is for to vary output voltage.
Diodes are used for protecting the circuit from the back current. Now, let's see in the following video how varying the resistor changes the output voltage.
Advantages of Regulated Power Supply
A supply with regulated output has many advantages. Following are of the key importance.
- low noise levels
- low-cost
- simplicity
- reliability
Regulated power supply are very simple to design, you might have felt it in this post. Simple design makes it very cost effective. These power supplies have low cost and are very reliable.
They are relatively noise-free. Linear regulators ICs which are used at the output, have a low output voltage ripple making them best suitable for applications where noise-sensitivity is essential.
The design power supply would be fine to power up your other small projects or brings you good grades/money if you are assigned to a similar project. I do not know why, but I feel confident if you follow the same easy steps with me you will have your first designed power supply.
Please do not specify it to just 500mA supply. It can be your 5V DC power supply in general with up to 500mA current capability.
Just for extra knowledge, for positive voltage output use LM78XX. XX indicates the value of output voltage and 78 indicates positive output. For negative voltage output use LM79XX, 79 indicate negative voltage and XX indicates the value of output.
With above said, design of a regulated power supply came to its end. Hopefully, you have enjoyed it.
Thank you and have a good life.

Chidinma stayed with me till the next morning before going, we had s-x like 4more times, in fact this girl was nothing but perfect and was just my type. She was tall, beautiful, with great curves, wonderful a-s and boobs, I on my own part is freaky tall towering at 6'9 that's why people call me tallest. with a broad shoulder and chest evidence of basketball, have a slim frame but ruggedly handsome as chinwe once told me..hehehehehe not bragging abeg 🙂 .
Chidinma was just perfect for me, wouldn't it have been ok to forget all the other girls and concentrate on her?, but I have never been a one girl boy so why would i start now?
Noo i equally cannot fall in love like that!!!
My date with bisi approached fast and i very much looked up to it, A night before the date i was gisting with my lodge mate, i announced to them that i was going to bleep corper bisi… come see laff.. they all laughed like i have said something funny.
IDIOT I SEE SAY U DON CHOP WEED loco intoned amidst laughter. LEAVE AM HE THINK SAY CORPER NA THOSE GIRLS HE DEH BLEEP ANYHOW pascal supported.
GUYS BELIEVE ME, I EVEN HAVE A DATE WITH HER TOMORROW i added pleadingly.
The second round of laugh was even worse than the first round.. DATE KWA ?? IN UR DREAMS!!! loco chipped in…
My heart sank i just wish they would believe me, we all were play guys most of them even bleep more p—y than me but they never thought about corper bisi, somehow they all thought she was high above us, but not me all i see was a young girl on khaki.
I left them alone and closed the topic when I saw they would never believe me, the only that will change things now is when i bleep bisi…
the next day( date day) i woke up and did some clean up on my room hoping maybe
I would manage bring her home.
I couldn't wait for evening, was constantly checking the time. we had agreed to meet by 5pm.
4pm I had a cold bath, brushed ma teeth and you know na pimped well. rocked my black pencil jean and all stat shoes with a nice versarc t-shirt..
I went down to amaobodo center which was the center of commerce in the village and our agreed meeting point.
I got there just almost immediately she called telling me she was there, she described her location and i found her.
She was wearing a pink long gown, her bossoms were really struggling to escape through the opening on d top, a lot of cleavage but you know na, we know na push up bra deh help girls package booby.
I got her, took her face in my hands YOU LOOK STUNNING…
WOW THANK YOU she replied visibly blushing.
I JUST FEEL LIKE KISSING YOU NOW i teased… she laffed and slapped my chest.
HAHAHA YOU KNOW WELL she fired FOR PUBLIC?
I just love her cute queens english mixed with a little yoruba accent.
We entered a bar and had a drink and pepper soup, talked extensively and a lot of flirting and almost kiss…lol
We walked a bit around the village and then I took her home exactly 8pm.
JOHN THANK YOU I REALLY ENJOYED MY DAY.. she said as we stood directly in front of her house.
I ENJOYED IT TOO, THO I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED IT MORE IF I GOT TO KISS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I EVER SAW i teasingly intoned.. i could see her face beaming with smile even when the environment was peach black.
ALRIGHT GOOD NIGHT i added LET ME START GOING HOME BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
She hugged me tight and held on for a long time, I brought ma face down immediately as she looked up and our lips found each other. It was a long energetic kiss and i slowly savored the wonderful feeling.
I bid her good night and went home with a heart full of rejoicing and a sense of fulfillment but deep down a little fear of what i am into.
Just on getting to my door my phone beeped and it was a message from her I AM AT PEACE WHENEVER AM AROUND YOU, NEVER FELT THIS WAY BEFORE. I LOVE U SWEETHRT…
I smiled at myself, shrugged and entered my room. fell flat on the bed, I managed to type a reply I LOVE YOU TOO. . . as i entered dream land happy and optimistic.
To be continued…

Uplace fully permitted again
Today, the Flemish Minister of Environment Joke Schauvliege presented the new environmental permit for the innovative experience centre Uplace. This means that Uplace is fully permitted again! We are ready to take on our long-awaited role as a driver for the whole region. 100% committed to ensuring that constructions can start by the end of this year, we are working hard to open our doors late 2018.
The new environmental license is the logical next step following the final approval of the Regional Spatial Development Plan (RSDP) of the Flemish Strategic Area around Brussels (FSAB) earlier this year by the entire Flemish Government and the previous positive advice of the highest Flemish Environmental Administration (GMVC). The presentation of the new environmental permit by Minister Schauvliege is thus in line with the expectations and the continuation of consistent policy.
Uplace CEO Jan Van Lancker is obviously very satisfied with this important step in the development of Uplace: "The new environmental license is in line with the expectations following the final approval of the GRUP. On top of that, it is a positive sign for entrepreneurship and legal certainty in Flanders. If everything goes according to plan, we will start construction by the end of this year. After 8 years, the Vilvoorde-Machelen region will finally be able to welcome 3.250 jobs together with a much needed economic revival."
Since the start of the project in 2006, we have had a challenging journey and we have received strong support from all around. Today, we would like to thank you all for your support! We are looking forward to further working with you, full of energy and persuasion, to make Uplace an innovative daytrip, the only one of its kind in Belgium, where shopping, relaxing, entertainment, work and just spending time come together in an enjoyable experience.
Keep following us on Twitter and Facebook en download de Uplace app to get the latest news. E-mail your questions to email@example.com.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — A day after President Obama called on Americans to end the deep hold of racial discrimination in the country, the lives of three more victims of the church massacre here were celebrated and their deaths transformed Saturday into a clarion call for change.
"I am sorry this happened on my watch," Gov. Nikki R. Haley said at the funeral service for Cynthia Graham Hurd, 54, a librarian and housing rights advocate, "but we will make this right. We will make this right."
Speaker after speaker who walked to the altar of the storied Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church — where services were held Saturday for Ms. Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, and his aunt, Susie Jackson, all longtime church members — spoke about the powerful example the victims had set not just in their daily lives but in their deaths.
The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson and others said on Saturday that the deaths of the "Emanuel 9," as the victims are now called, had joined the pantheon of civil rights touchstones, including the killing of four girls in the church bombing in Birmingham in 1963 and the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. of Charleston described how Ms. Hurd had traded her college degree in math for a career devoted to books and had helped thousands of people embrace learning and reading. He said her gifts would multiply in death.
"Her death will lead to change, and Cynthia Hurd will be helping millions," the mayor said as he talked about the consciousness-raising that had spread across the country.
Nearly two weeks ago, on June 17, a young white man walked into the first floor of the Emanuel church, where a Bible study group was discussing verses from the Gospel of Mark. After sitting with the group for about an hour, he took out a gun and killed nine people. Law enforcement authorities have called the killings a hate crime. The victims were all black. Dylann Roof, 21, has been charged with nine counts of murder in the shootings.
On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Sanders, 26, a college graduate who was full of ambition and pursuing a career as a record producer, and his aunt, Mrs. Jackson, 87, a longtime devotee of Emanuel, were remembered in the same church, their flower-draped coffins sitting by side. Hers was lavender; his was the color of espresso.
The shooting was particularly devastating for the Sanders family because four family members walked into the Bible study group that night but only two of them went home.
Reaching for his words, Mr. Sanders tried to dissuade the shooter from killing the men and women in the Bible study group, survivors said. Unmoved, the man unleashed a volley of bullets as Mr. Sanders moved to try to protect his aunt, who sat nearby. Both died in the church basement.
Mr. Sanders' mother, Felicia, dove to the floor with her young granddaughter and whispered to her to lay still and play dead. The two survived, along with a woman in the room who was told by the shooter that she was left alive so that she could tell the world what he had done.
On Saturday, Walter Bernie Jackson, Ms. Jackson's grandchild, broke down as he described Mr. Sanders attempting to shield his grandmother from harm in a society that is filled with so many "cowards."
Ms. Haley, who has attended the funerals of each of the victims, said Mr. Sanders loved his mother "so much that he would tattoo her name on his chest."
His mother warned him that no woman would marry him with both her name and a breast cancer symbol displayed on his chest — a gesture that honored her battle with the disease.
"Well, that will be their loss," Mr. Sanders said, according to the program distributed at the service.
During the nearly four-hour service for Ms. Hurd, her relatives and friends spoke of her "beautiful eyes," her outspokenness, her determination and, as Ms. Haley mentioned, her motto: "Be kinder than necessary."
The services for all three victims were so full that an overflow room was set up in a nearby church. Lines stretched around the block as people waited to get inside; Red Cross workers passed out water bottles.
Despite the heat, the chorus inside sang hymn after hymn. And yet again the Rev. Norvel Goff, the presiding elder at Emanuel, set aside his own exhaustion and sense of loss, and stood at the pulpit, guiding the mourners through their grief and jubilation over the victims' arrival in heaven.
For this, he was praised repeatedly, even by Ms. Haley, who said that he and his church are so dynamic that every time she walks out of a funeral service, wearying as they are, "I am convinced I'm going to become an A.M.E. member."
Ms. Hurd's brother, Malcolm Graham, a former state senator in North Carolina, spoke with tenderness about a sister who always took the time to find out how everyone was doing and dispensed as much love as advice.
Whenever he had a speech to write, Mr. Graham said he would pick up the phone to call Ms. Hurd and ask for help. "Tell me how to word this," he said. "Tell me how to write this."
This week was no different, he said, except there was no answer.
A onetime ice-cream server at Swensen's, Ms. Hurd went on to college and graduate school, knowing a good education was a requirement in her family. But her love of books was profound. Mr. Graham said she plunged into the encyclopedia as a child after the family bought a set from a traveling salesman.
"That was her first library," he said, as he spoke surrounded by large photos of his sister beaming with her husband and family. Ms. Hurd was always the person in the family he would call to find out what the family was up to because "Cynthia knew everybody's business."
Recurring Sorrow: President Obama's Remarks After Gun Violence
A selection of President Obama's comments after mass shootings.
Her wedding with her husband, Steve, was her most cherished moment, the one she wished to relive if given a choice. In her spare time, Ms. Hurd also served as a commissioner of the Charleston housing authority, a passion of hers. She was a public servant who delighted in helping others and saw it as her mission.
Mr. Jackson reminded members of her family that their work is not over. They must now work to keep their memories alive.
"God has more for families to do than just mourn," he said.
The Civil War may have started in South Carolina, Mr. Jackson said, but now, "maybe she can end the Confederate War right here."
Later that afternoon, Mr. Sanders' relatives talked about his love of poetry. He had written a book of poems titled "Tragedy," and a cousin shared one of the works, a rhyming meditation on violence, poverty and inequality.
Shirrene Goss, Mr. Sanders' sister, who was 14 years his senior, said sister and brother were often mistaken for mother and son. She had the habit of calling him, "My Wanza."
Now forced to share him with the world, Ms. Goss led the congregation members in their own embrace of Mr. Sanders. "My Wanza," she said. "Our Wanza," the crowd responded every time.
Then, in a moment of humor, Ms. Goss shared an inexplicable fear that Mr. Sanders harbored: flushing a toilet. She found it perplexing, at best, she said.
"Look at what he did last week," Ms. Goss added. "He wasn't afraid of anything."

I have been anxiously awaiting the CEW boxes for a month now. This is a little sad because they were much better last year but I do not really know any better and am loving the box anyways. If you are still interested the Mass ($12) and Prestige ($18) boxes are still available on Birchbox.com. Plus if you buy them both together its $4 off so $26 total. Also I am not made of money so I was really happy to find out that I had some Birchbox points saved up!
Mass Appeal Limited Edition Box
Cost: $12 (Save $4 if you get both)
Nivea A Kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon Moisture Rich Lip Care (Full Size) $2.99
I get Nivea sometimes for free from Couponing which is how I first tried them. They ended up being my all time favorite lip balm so I can see why this one is in the box.
Burt's Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream 50 g (55% of Full Size) $7.20
I really love getting lotion in boxes. Plus I love travel sizes so I would rather have 5 small tubes than 1 of the full size. So this is great. Michael and I both tried it and felt that it smelled nice without being greasy.
L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Golden Emerald (Full Size) $7.99
This shadow very pigmented which is a must.
Olay Pro-X Spot Fading Treatment 7 mL (Sample Size) $12.13
This product got pretty bad reviews on Drugstore.com so it will be interesting to see if I get better results.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (Full Size) $7.99
I love lip Pencils and I can defiantly wear this color. YAY
Simple Revitalizing Eye Roll-On 0.5 fl oz $10.99
I have a hard time knowing if eye products actually work. This one also had mixed reviews online with a lot of people saying it felt nice but didn't do anything. I do need a roll on that feels cooling though so that is fine with me.
Final Value: $49.29 which is pretty good considering the box was priced at $12 or $10 if you purchased both boxes. I am really happy with what I got.
AND THEN........No and then!
...Prestige Limited Edition Boxes
Cost: $18 (Save $4 if you get both)
Julep Nail Polish in Mimi 8ml (Full Size) $14
I have been getting SOOO MUCH ORANGE lately so I felt super lucky to get this color. Out of the whole list of choices they were picking from this was my favorite so I am so thankful to get it. Finally!
Living Proof Prime Style Extender 1 fl oz (50% of Full Size) $6
This product got great reviews on Sephora.com and I like that its Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Dyes, Phthalates, GMOs, and Triclosan Free!
LA Fresh Oil-Free Face Cleanser 2 towelettes (20% of full Size) $1
I can never get enough Face wipes. They are great for the car or on a plane. I have a hard time buying them because I hate to be wasteful but these are biodegradable so I can splurge guilt free.
IT Cosmetics Universal Brow Pencil 0.16 g(Full Size) $24
So I found a product that is the same weight at Dermstore but I am not sure if it's the same travel size. Regardless I am happy with the size because I never use that much of brow products. I really wanted a brow pencil though and was just about to hash out $30 bucks and buy a UD or Trish one and I am so glad I waited. This paid for my whole Birchbox Haul right here.
Julep Essential Cuticle Oil 8.2 ml (Full Size) $18
The oil is a dup for me but I really love it so I don't mind. I will want more when I am out so I am stowing this away in my Christmas gifts to me pile. I love forgetting about stuff and getting little pressies at the end of the year.
Elizabeth Arden Prevage 5 mL (10% of Full Size) $7.90
This is suppose to help with UV, Ageing, and other environmental stress to your skin. I am excited to try this winner of the CEW.
Final Value: $70.90 unless I was mistaken on the price of the brow pencil. I am most excited about the eye pencil but all of the items will get some use. This is great for a price of $18 or $14 if you got both. Not to mention that most people had points and got the boxes a little lower than that. These boxes are still available if you are interested.

Over the graves of the Druids and under the wreck of Rome,
Rudely but surely they bedded the plinth of the days to come.
Behind the feet of the Legions and before the Norsemans ire
Rudely but greatly begat they the framing of State and Shire
Rudely but deeply they laboured, and their labour stand till now.
If we trace on ancient headlands the twist of their eight-ox plough.

This is turning out to be a well balanced board, which is presenting a real social commentary. Ann's delightful first episode is an excellent read. Congratulations, Ann, looking forward to the next episode.

Thanks for the encouragement. Guess I will be stuck now with 'Little Ann'.
Incidentally the photo of my dad at Paines should not have been included here. Sorry. Had hoped to put the other photos where relevant amid the write up but not got it right yet.

Well written Little Ann, I imagine busyglen will thoroughly enjoy reading it.
Fancy not liking proper milk, it was good that we had to drink it because it made us good and healthy bones and tasted so much better than the semi-skimmed rubbish that we tend to drink these days.

I have really enjoyed reading this thread so thought I might give it a go myself. Where to begin though. At the very beginning I suppose.
My parents were relatively elderly when they had me. They had been married some10 years before I was born. According to mum I was a much wanted baby so I am not sure why they waited so long for me to come along. Anyway, whatever the reason they waited and I was conceived during August bank holiday at Bournemouth. Mum said I had been due in March and was so overdue that she was taken for some bumpy bus rides to try and bring labour on (no such thing as inducing back then).
I finally arrived at the end of April 1947 on cup final Saturday. It was evidently a really warm sunny day. A contrast to the previous harsh winter when it had been so cold the water taps in the houses in Lancelot Avenue where we lived were frozen. There was a standby pipe in the middle of the road and Mum told me how she had to put dads old army socks on over her boots so she didnt slip and go and fill up a bucket with water.
A phone call had informed my maternal grandmother of my arrival and she came over from Essex that same afternoon with my aunt to see us. Some journey on public transport. My dad was rung at work but he would not have got home until after work to see us both. In those days maternity leave was unheard of and the men had to go about their normal tasks as usual. My father worked for W Paines & Co, mens outfitters and pawn brokers at their branch in Strood, on the corner of Station Road. (More about this later).
Because they had been married for a number of years before I was born they must have saved a little as mum had a private doctor for her confinement. It was 1947 and a year before the birth of the National Health Service. It turned out that this was just as well as she had a very difficult time giving birth to me and ended up having to have a forceps delivery. The doctor in attendance was Dr Gee from Rochester (more of him later). She was ill for a long time afterwards and due to the forceps delivery I was cut on left side of my forehead and have the scar to this day.
My very first memories centre on the beginning of 1950. I had been playing dollys washday and mum had tied a small piece of string between the leg of a chair and the leg of the dining table for a washing line. I had tripped over this and fell awkwardly. I had actually fractured my femur and spent quite a time in hospital, much lying on my back with my leg up in traction. Things were very different back then. It was not felt to be good for parents to be with their children as it would upset them! So upon admission to St Barts in Rochester a porter took me from my mothers arms screaming, and I did not see her until the time came for her to bring me home. I remember being in St Barts in the childrens ward and being in a cot with sides. There was a boy in the next bed and whether his name was Peter, or I have the memory because I can recall having a book there, Beatrix Potters Peter Rabbit I do not know. I used to love to sniff books (still do) and I can recall even now that smell. I also remember being told off by a rather scary nurse in a fancy hat because I had had an accident in the bed. My other memory of St Barts is being wheeled down a long winding corridor and seeing a nurse sitting astride and riding a rocking horse. She had on a Dutch bonnet style white cap. I was probably hallucinating following having had my leg set.
I was then moved to St Williams Hospital, up Delce Road, I do not know why, but I much preferred my stay there. The nurses were much nicer. They wore either pink and white or green and white striped dresses. I was put in the ladies ward. I dont know if they didnt have a childrens ward there or why I had been moved in the first place. But of course I got spoilt rotten by the ladies. I also used to get special treats from the nurses too. They knew I had a fondness for sugar lumps so would often sneak one through the servery to me. I had no visitors all the time I was in either hospital and when it was time for me to go home, cried when my mother came to collect me. I truly felt I had been abandoned. Little did I know that mum and dad, and my gran and aunts all used to come up to the hospital but were only allowed to look in at me in the ward through a window. How very hard that must have for my mum.
I think it was around Easter time I came home. What sticks in my mind is being in a taxi sitting on mums knee and it driving slowly down Lancelot Avenue. (Quite an event, using a taxi back then). Several neighbours were out in the street waving as we arrived home. I had to be carried in as I had forgotten how to walk. There waiting for me inside was a silver cross dolls pram in maroon. A present from an aunt bought to help me to learn to walk again. The tablecloth at lunchtime had yellow flowers embroidered by my aunt. (Strange the things that stick in ones mind). I can still remember so many of our old neighbours from back then,- names and faces. Today however I would be hard pushed to name more than a couple in my cul-de-sac. People were much more friendly back then, and would chat and help each other out, and of course most women were at home anyway during the day.
From a very young age I desperately wanted to go to school and pestered my mum. So she sent me to a kindergarten school in Cuxton Road, Strood. It was a private school run by a Miss Crockford. She was a very tall, thin lady with white short hair curled up at the bottom. I started there two weeks before I was 4 in 1951. It was in a large 3 storey terraced house (virtually opposite where you come up from Tescos onto Cuxton Road).
It was for pre-school children so I suppose you would call it a nursery school. But very different from what they are like today. We did lessons. Arithmetic and writing and reading and the classroom was in the basement. We used nib pens and ink (imagine that now with under 5s) I can remember I had progressed to joined up writing by the time I left. There was no playground, only a garden in the back but I dont recall we had a playtime. Lunchtime we had to go home and then return again in the afternoon for further lessons. On a Friday afternoon there were no formal lessons and we were given either shells or tiles with letters on to play with. I also did sewing although I cannot really remember this, but still have this little miniature apron I made whilst there. I suppose it was a kind of sampler, with different stitches. They boys would have done something different.
We would make calendars to take home as presents. Miss Crockford would draw a picture on a large piece of paper and we would paint it in using water colours. A small calendar booklet would then be attached to the bottom. She was quite artistic and at Christmas if you had done a good piece of work she would draw a holly twig in green ink with bright red berries on it. This was greatly coveted.
I think it was Janet and John books we had to read, and these could be bought in the shop opposite (the building is still there but is now part of the garage Wrights). It also sold prams. I left there in March 1953, the day that my cousin David was born. Dad and my uncle came to collect me as mum had gone to be with my auntie Kath in her confinement over in Grays in Essex. There was really thick fog and it was so bad that no ferries were operating between Gravesend and Tilbury at all and so we got a taxi and went round to relatives in Augustine Road, Gravesend for the night. I remember we all slept in a large very high up bed. It had a brass frame and really downy mattress and was so high I had to be lifted into it.
I remember starting my first day at the infant school in Elaine Avenue School and how surprised I was that there were toys to play with I remember a dolls house. I had been so used to sitting doing sums and writing and it seemed very strange.
I was a petite child and often called little Ann, and I suppose was the teachers pet. My infant teacher Miss Lipton had me as her bridesmaid. I remember visiting her at Upchurch where she lived with her mother, obviously to do my dress fitting. We had currant bread with butter on to eat and I thought it really strange. My bridesmaid dress was blue. Strangely on the same day as I was her bridesmaid I was also bridesmaid for a second time in the afternoon to my cousin over in Essex. This time I wore peach. I wonder how we fitted it all in. There was only mum and I (dad had to work) and we had to travel from Strood to Gillingham in the morning and then over to Essex in the afternoon all on public transport. I was a bridesmaid on two other occasions. Once to my aunt when I wore lemon, and the other was to a cousin and this time I wore blue. I remember it was cold and so we had a white fur cape and a white fur muff. I guess I was really lucky to be a bridesmaid so many times, it was every young girls dream to be one.
I can remember couple a of other teachers during my time at Elaine. There was Mr Fenner, quite a short teacher with large bushy eyebrows that turned up at the outside. I remember he did a pastel drawing of me and I kept it for years wish I still had it! I remember him giving the slipper to a boy who had upset one of the lady teachers and made her cry, Miss Bloomfield. Another teacher I recall was Mr. Harmer who came from Chalk.
Something that was compulsory for children of my generation was school milk. Full cream (no skimmed or semi skimmed then) and I hated it. The bottles would be brought into the classroom in a large metal crate, holes punctured through the metal foil caps and straws inserted. There was not a choice, you had to drink it. Likewise school dinners. You had what was dished up to you, and you had to clear your plate. I was lucky as I went home each lunchtime and had a mid day meal cooked by mum as it was not far to walk. But back then children werent driven to school, they walked. Most families were lucky if they even had a car, and most mothers didnt even know how to drive (unlike the 4 x 4 brigades of today).
Aged 11 I sat the 11 plus test. In the area back then the girls only had the option of passing and going to grammar or failing and going to the secondary modern. Then at 13 you could take another exam to try and get into the technical high school, this taught a secretarial course. I failed the 11 plus and so went to Chapter Road School for girls in Cliffe Road for a couple of years. School uniform was navy, and in the summer we wore a navy check full skirt. We also had to wear a tie. I can recall that there were school dances held there, really the only place to go for teenagers of an evening, apart from youth clubs. We had a very strict French teacher and my knowledge of the language (what little there is) was learnt from the couple of years with her. One day during lesson she suddenly grabbed the desk and began to bleed from the mouth and then collapsed on the floor. You can imagine the hysteria of a lot of young girls (the teacher survived it was a burst ulcer). I also recall the needlework teacher who had whiskers. She would throw chalk at you and spit when she spoke. When it was the last day of term, those leaving would bring into school eggs and flour and throw them at each other in the playground.
I took the technical exam at 13 and passed and so I then went to Medway Technical High School for Girls Fort Pitt. This was what I wanted to do, become a secretary. I had long got past the childish wish of wanting to work in a sweet shop, and mum knew her dream of me becoming a hairdresser was not going to happen either. The headmistress at this time was Miss Sackett.
Fort Pitt has formerly been used as a hospital during the Crimea War. I recall some of the classrooms with high skylights (theatre rooms) and also the hospital floors where the walls and floor met in a curve. In the long corridors upstairs we ate our school dinners. Separate from the main building was the Crimea block. This was the domestic science block where we did our cooking. Formerly it had been the building where the mentally insane patients were treated. I do not recall much enjoyment from the cookery classes. Any enjoyment was outweighed by the cleaning at the end. Large wooden cooking blocks which we had to scrub down after each lesson. I also recall that I never trusted the teachers ingredients, I always felt they scrimped on them. Two dishes come to mind illustrating this. The first was apple crumble. I decided to double the sugar quantity poor dad couldnt eat it because it was so sweet. The other disaster blatantly visible to the teacher, concerned the icing of a cake. Again I felt the amount given was insufficient. This time it was colouring of the icing, blue. Ever seen an iced cake in navy! I was severely reprimanded for that misdemeanour.
What I still find puzzling is some of the subjects we had to drop to accommodate the secretarial course. This meant I did commerce, accounts, shorthand and typing, and the two I vividly recall dropping were science, i.e. physics, chemistry etc, and French! It was a very strict dress code there. Again navy, and a small skull like cap/hat. The fashion when I was there was for beehive hairstyles. You can imagine it was like a pea sitting on top, held by pins to keep on. If you were caught outside of school by prefects incorrectly dressed (i.e. no hat, scarf over your head etc) you would be reported. Nylons were worn and of course laddered quite often and easily. The trick to stop the run would be to put some nail varnish at the top of it. It worked but you can imagine it did not look very good. The new headmistress (Miss Elliot) brought in a new rule. No nylons, only thick Lyle stockings like our grandmothers wore. We rebelled, started a petition and even got a mention in the local paper. Of course we didnt win. The problem with them was that if you were short and small like me it didnt stretch the Lyle at all and looked even thicker than on some of the larger girls. (Nora Batty style!)
I was quite well behaved I think, but there was one teacher I was constantly rude to and would chatter in class. This was Miss Cook who taught English. Many, many years later I met up with her at an Adult Education Class, and she was such a sweet lady. I bitterly regretted how I had treated her back then. I seem to recall that she had written a book on the history of the church at Meopham, St Johns.
Anyway, back to bad behaviour at the Tech! There was a desk and chair situated near the headmistresses study and this is where you would be sent to work if you had misbehaved in class. The fear always was that she would come out of the room and see you. There were some teachers, who I got on well with, and one or two that put fear into most of the girls. Miss Green who taught maths and accounts fell into this category. She was also a Catholic and when it was RE, the Catholic girls had to go to study with her.
One really nice teacher was Mrs Chatsworth who taught shorthand and typing. Typing was done on old manual keyboards. Mistakes had to be erased with special rubbers and often caused holes in the paper. Obviously we had to learn to touch type and if caught looking at the keyboard a guard would be put over it. If a table needed to be done, or columns etc, then we had to work out using tabulation where each should begin. Any lines or borders would then be drawn in red ink. Again this could easily mess up a piece of work with a careless smudge. We had to sit exams for both subjects, and speed as well as accuracy was required. I can recall that the course was also for 2 years and so whilst staying on at school until 16 it meant that if you wanted to then do GCSEs you had to stay on longer.
More to follow.

MISSOULA – Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold will speak about "Covering President Trump: The inside story from the reporter Trump called a 'nasty guy'" on Monday, March 13, at the University of Montana. The event is at 7 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom and is free and open to the public.
Fahrenthold spent a year covering the Trump candidacy during the 2016 presidential campaign. He will talk about his work on the campaign trail and about his investigation into the Trump Foundation. Fahrenthold's stories showed that Trump's charitable donations were not what they seemed, and Trump eventually announced he would close down his foundation.
Fahrenthold began working for the Post in 2000. He covered everything from homicide scenes in the District to the World Championship Muskrat Skinning Contest. He now covers the Trump administration.
This event is sponsored by the UM School of Journalism. Larry Abramson, dean of the school, said Fahrenthold's work is important and demonstrates the hard work that goes into creating good journalism.
"Fahrenthold shows that simple but hard-charging investigations can lead to unexpected answers," Abramson said. "His stories speak to our primary obligation as journalists: to ask questions and keep asking until we've found the truth. By opening up his notebook to readers, David also helped lend transparency to the journalistic enterprise and showed just how hard we work to get the story right."
The School of Journalism launched in 1914 and has trained generations of journalists in print, broadcast, photography and new media. The school regularly ranks among the top 10 journalism schools in the United States.
