This is a new section for me covering mills that were operated by either humans or animals which I hope to add to and eventually when I have sufficient I will create separate pages for the different types.
Mainly the drawings have been prepared from old advertisements, drawings, photographs and descriptions in books etc, although the Romanian ones are based on scale drawings of buildings that have been relocated into the Astra Museum at Sibiu in Romania. A fantastic site and well worth visiting
The stepping mill above was for the Bedford Prison or 'House of Correction' and was used to grind corn into flour and also powered a set of malt rollers
This is a horse powered corn mill in the Astra National Museum complex at Sibiu in Romania. The drawings I have worked to do not show that the one end of the driving ring gear overlaps the tail end of the previous section so they parts are staggered. A colleague who had visited the site from the Mills Research Group pointed it out to me. I shall be visiting the museum again in September so I shall pay particular attention to this detail and adjust my drawing accordingly. The winch on the platform tilts the main vertical post so the ring gear touches the floor to allow the horses to step over it when entering and leaving.
This dog wheel was used to power a centrifugal blower
This dog wheel was used to operate a set of bellows
These three drawings are loosely based on a book about dog mills called 'Hondenmolens' by Jan Delacour in Dutch but very interesting
The angle of the track for the treadmills shown below is adjusted to suit the weight of the animal and the work it is required to do. The power available from a treadmill is dependent on the weight of the animal and the angle of the tread, not on the strength of the animal. The dog simply climbs the tread to maintain his position and gravity does the work..
This dog wheel was used to provide rotary power for a butter churn
This treadmill operates a horizontal rocking butter churn
This treadmill was used to provide power for a butter churn
This treadmill operates a lathe but could power any rotating piece of machinery
This is a horse powered sawmill at the Astra museum in Sibiu below is manually operated grain mill at the same museum
One clever designer in the Victorian era came up with a sewing machine powered by a dog. German inventor Heinrich Feldt designed and patented The Feldt Dog Engine in 1888, and intended for it to offer seamstresses a bit of relief when it came to mending and sewing clothing
A treadmill operated washing machine that could be powered by a dog
Field or Carriage Mill 1735
A refinement of Targone's mobile mill is described and illustrated in 'Theatrum Machinarum
Field or carriage mills were used by armies in camp where more permanent mills were unobtainable, the carriage being drawn by two pairs of horses on the march and one pair when milling.

If you're not familiar with DC Comics and their resident fish-friend the movie acts as a pretty good introduction. It more or less follows the plot of the New 52 reboot that Geoff Johns penned in 2011. However I have to say that if you're familiar with the Aquaman from Batman: The Brave and The Bold then I think Jason Momoa has way more in common with him than than the brooding Arthur Curry from the comics.
The first time we get to see Aquaman aquaman-ing around is when he stops a crew of pirates who have hijacked a submarine. For seemingly no reason at all we get to see a heartfelt exchange between two murderous men, as they exchange heirloom weaponry and family folklore. For nerds in the know this is our cue that the young gentleman is about to become Black Manta…after Arthur kills his dad.
As expected Arthur fights future Black Manta and his dad, and when Black Manta pleads with Arthur to save his dad, he declines saying that they've "killed innocents" so now they can ask the ocean for mercy. Nice way to hold Aquaman accountable for death without having him actually kill the dude.
This scene also contrasts with the film's ongoing subtle attempts at subversion of toxic masculinity tropes. Right after we see Arthur leave a man to die, he heads to the bar to drink with his dad. A group of bruiser looking blokes come up to him asking if he's the "fish boy from the TV" and we prepare ourselves for a rousing bar fight. Instead they politely ask to take selfies with him from their pink, glittery phone and we see a montage of them all becoming good friends and drinking together. It's a nice moment that serves to remind us that we aren't watching another Batman origin story, or typical Snyder-fest.
However this subversion of masculinity doesn't last long, since the minute we're in Atlantis we more or less get to see two men participate in the ultimate dick measuring contest as they bat at each other with tridents, arguing about which one is superior and who can be the King of all the things.
Interestingly, Momoa's casual charm and confidence are actually what save the film from becoming two fish dudes measuring dinner forks in exchange for fancy hats and the keys to mum's kingdom. Momoa isn't the Arthur Curry of the comics – he's not another brooding, orphaned white boy carrying a chip on his shoulder. Instead he's a mixed race, affable lad who just doesn't want anyone to get hurt. When we see Orm, he is every inch the privileged, trust fund, white guy that feels entitled to everything he hasn't already been handed. So when they do face off, it does have a nice Bruce Springsteen overtone to it, rather than the usual paint-by-numbers of two white men who can't talk about their feelings.
Even when Orm literally breaks Arthur's phallic motif in half, necessitating his rescue by Mera, it's Momoa's fresh take on Arthur that prevents it from going too far down an emasculation metaphor. Like Steve Trevor before him, he never makes us feel like Mera is a threat to his identity. He has no issue with her leading the way, with her calling the shots, and rather than undermining her he just cheerfully gives her shit.
Having said that though, it would have been nice to have more of Mera's origin. While it was nice to see the inclusion of Black Manta in the film, both from a nerd perspective and a diversity perspective, by the end I couldn't help but feel like all of his scenes could have been sacrificed for more of Mera.
When she shows up at Arthur's drinking hole telling him he needs to save the kingdom, we don't actually know who the fuck she is, what her powers are, or what her motivations are. The fact that she's facing the same fate as Arthur's mum (marrying someone she doesn't want to) could have been a really compelling plot point that might have helped her and Arthur relate to each other earlier. Mera comes from the kingdom of Xebel, which we don't actually see at any point, so we don't have a feel for how much she cares about her nation or her people when she starts talking about 'duty' and whatnot.
Mera does get some good screen time, and the fact that she spends at least half of it rescuing Arthur feels appropriate for both their characters. However if you're a Disney fan at all, it's basically impossible to see her as anything other than The Little Mera-Maid. Her fish-out-of-water plot points along with her Ariel-red locks are every bit as adorable as they are bordering on a cease-and-desist from the House of Mouse. Combined with the scene where the octopus is playing the drums, it kind of makes you feel sad that Sebastian doesn't show up at some point to tell us all how it's better, down where it's wetter.
Some of the films best moments are during Arthur and Mera's adventures to the Sahara and later Sicily – it's reminiscent of Romancing the Stone, with rooftop chases and sand dune cities. However this is representative of the movie's larger problem; it doesn't know what it's trying to be. While parts of it give
you adventurous Indiana Jones vibes, the scenes in the ocean kingdoms feel incredibly science-fiction fuelled with laser cannons and underwater spaceships that look like Apple Stores. It's only when Arthur and Mera reach the Trench that we get to see director James Wan finally in his element with a horror motif that reminds you how much more the movie could have done with the ocean world. Even in relation to the soundtrack, the Trench gives us an atmospheric piece that reignites our trepidation about being underwater for the first time since the film began. But this is a motif could have been used all the way through the film – giving each Kingdom its own unique feeling.
Despite there being seven ocean kingdoms referenced in the film, we're never left with a real sense of what each of them are. The seven kingdoms are all supposedly descended from the original occupants of Atlantis (although fuck knows how they managed to 'evolve' when it looked like the majority of them were getting killed as Atlantis sunk).
We get to see a little of the Kingdom of the Fishermen, which is where the people who evolved more into fish live. It's clearly an allegory for Ancient Athens (where the myth of Atlantis originated) since Orm complains about all their pudgy philosophers and artists and how they're not warlike enough. We see The Brine in the final battle scene, but only really their people and army, not so much their city – and the whole thing basically comes down to "they're crustaceans…look, lot's of crab shells and stuff."
If you compare the world building of Aquaman to that of Black Panther, you can't help but feel disappointed at the missed opportunities. Each of the kingdoms could easily have honoured different cultures, mythologies, or ecosystems, but instead it ended up feeling the way many DC films do – rushed through, and with more thought given to explosions than well done exposition.
Aquaman isn't a bad film. As far as DC offerings go, it's definitely one of the better ones. And it's certainly not fair to compare Warner Brothers offerings to what Disney is producing for Marvel since the production resources are simply not in the same ballpark. It's a solid adventure film that genuinely does credit to a character who for so long has been the butt of every joke about the Justice League. I can't wait to see more of both Jason Momoa and Amber Heard, I only hope that future films have the opportunity to focus more on what they actually want to be, rather than throwing in seven seas and the kitchen sink.
Aquaman is in cinemas now.

Of Flies and Monkeys
My head hasn't been in poetry lately. Call it burn out—last year I read mostly poems—or attribute it to grad school killing my love for poetry, but I have been reading more prose as of late. Subsequently, my recent poetry reading has mostly been out of obligation.
That being said, it takes a lot to get me excited about poetry. Jacques Dupin's work is, thankfully, the kind of poetry that does intrigue, delight, and reward, making it the ideal poetry to reignite my old love. The recent release of three of his works, collected under the title Of Flies and Monkeys, makes the case for Dupin's importance in the world of contemporary poetry. Dupin is an interesting figure. A contemporary of Yves Bonnefoy and follower of Francis Ponge, his name is not bandied about with the regularity of his peers. Add to that, his poems ride the crest between the legacy of surrealism and the state sanctioned aesthetic of political rumination. Neither of these trends suited Dupin, whose work is at once immediate and startling ("a clearing sodomoy / her saintly hem fucked / under the same low leaves") even when the images veer into the obscure ("As if I were the moist imprint of her voice. The oil and the gathering of her endless worm-screws in the air"). Dupin's images are both strong and subtle, suggesting a modern-day Artuad who pulls back just before his poems become clouded by the grotesque. This is a writer who understands his craft, and while he refuses to adhere to trends his work has the balance and grace of a trained master.
The title work, "Of Flies and Monkeys," is flanked by two other books, "Mother"—a series of mostly prose poems—and "Hazel Tree." Of them, the middle section is the strongest. It is there that the reader sees Dupin vacillating between direct confessionalism and the unapologetically imagistic:
I write whenever
in the distance
fertilized by anguish
fear squirts out
and no longer has but words
but knives
to calibrate the suffering
If Dupin lapses into dreamy poetics, and risks alienating his readers, he does so in a manner that continues to engage:
As long as I breathe monkeys dance
A dance whose long arms dangle
voluble thoughts
a glass language a language
of sulfur
of iron pigments leading astray
the ocher of the excremental
the firedamp blue of interstice.
To significantly excite this reader, a poet needs to involve me in the process of reading the poem. In short: craft is not enough. I need something more to hang my hat on. Lesser poets churn out works riddled with empty vulgarities, which I find dull, or capitulate to the trends of academia, which I find unforgivably dull. Dupin's work extends itself, inviting one in even as it does the reader no favors. There are no easy answers in his work, but however elliptical these poems may be they remain engaging and graceful, excrement and all.

Light coffee
For years, various studies have reported that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. A recent UCLA study found that women who drink at least four cups of coffee a day are less than half as likely to develop diabetes as non-coffee drinkers. The UCLA researchers have found that a protein called sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) somehow lowers insulin resistance. Do not add sugar to your coffee, consume black coffee or go with light milk.

The coursework addresses a wide range of content material and skill areas equivalent to physical schooling pedagogy, teaching of sports, motor growth, motor studying, teaching theory, motivational issues in sport, exercise science, biomechanics, and well being education. Over the previous a number of months, OSSE has partnered with the State Board of Training to revise the requirements, actively participating with the Society for Well being and Physical Educators (FORM) America, District companies, bodily educators, and other native stakeholders in the process of guaranteeing that these requirements mirror finest-practices and align with FORM America's National Bodily Education standards.
Kindergarten until Grade 3 of Elementary students have gymnastics , ranging from Grade 4 of Elementary Faculty, college students might be introduced to conventional martial arts Pencak Silat and a few staff games reminiscent of badminton, soccer, futsal, rounders, basketball, etc.
Thanks in part to immigration, these golf equipment, and European enthusiasm for athletics basically, unfold to the U.S. During the 19th century, American educators adopted European strategies of instructing physical training, and both the word bodily education and the phenomenon it represents grew to become properly established in this country.
Physical schooling aims to offer children and young people with studying experiences that allow them to gain the information, motivation and competence to reside a bodily lively life. College students will use video cameras and pc software to research sport abilities and improve educating effectiveness, K-12 scholar accountability and personal reflection.
All students should declare physical training as their main so they will be assigned an advisor in bodily schooling. Donna Ricketts is a health educator with 15 years of professional experience designing health and wellness applications for adults and kids.

Emma Johansson Remains in Route de France Race Lead Ahead of Final StageFri 9 Aug 2013
With one day of racing remaining at the Route de France, Emma Johansson remains in the orange leader's jersey. Giorgia Bronzini (Wiggle Honda) notched her six straight stage win while Johansson sprinted in for fourth place in Vichy.
Johansson heads into the queen stage of the race with 1" in hand over Linda Villumsen (Wiggle Honda) and 2" on Amy Pieters (Argos-Shimano). Tiffany Cromwell remains in ninth place overall at 9", tied on time with Rabobank-Liv Giant teammates Pauline Ferrand Prevot and Thalita De Jong, ahead of what is expected to be an exciting, decisive day of racing.
"We thought today would be a bit harder," noted Johansson. "It turned out not be as hard as we thought. The last 15-20km were raced very aggressively, but that was only part where I really suffered. The girls were really good today. They covered all the early moves."
Iris Slappendel (Rabobank-Liv Giant) slipped away from the peloton in a solo break in the second hour of racing. Several riders – alone or in groups – attempted to unsuccessfully bridge across to the leader. The field was back together 40km from the finish.
"It was pretty slow in the first half of the race," noted Sport Director Brian Stephens. "The course was lumpy but not as hard as we thought it would be and certainly not as hard as tomorrow looks. The pace was pretty easy in the first half."
"Things heated up in the second half of the race, and that's when the peloton split," Stephens added. "We had three girls in a group of about 40 riders for a fair while, and then Gu dropped 10km out. That left Emma and Tiff alone."
Kristin McGrath (USA), Grace Sulzberger (Australia) and Noemi Cantele (Be Pink) went off the front in the run-in towards the finish. Linda Villumsen (Wiggle Honda) jumped from the peloton as the leading trio continued to extend their advantage.
"That was a dangerous move," said Stephens. "The girls had to work hard to bring that back."
"I don't know why I didn't jump on Linda's wheel right away," said Johansson. "I made a mistake to miss that. Tiff tried to bring her back but couldn't do it alone. I had to use a lot of energy to get the race back together again."
The attacks continued all the way to the line with defending champion Evie Stevens (USA) putting in one last dig inside the final kilometre. Johansson closed the gap that Stevens opened, setting the reduced bunch up for a field sprint.
"I thought I was in a good position for the sprint, but it got all messy in the end," explained Johansson. "An attack went on one side, and I was on the other. I was behind Lizzie [Armitstead] (Boels-Dolmans), and Lizzie was behind Bronzini."
"I stood up to sprint, but I had to sit down right away," Johansson continued. "I was done. I had nothing left for the finish."
Bronzini handily bested Armitstead for the top honours. Amy Pieters (Argos-Shimano) rounded out the podium.
"It's hard when you to go in all the moves to defend the jersey," Johansson said. "It makes you suffer. I have to tell myself that everyone else is suffering, too. They must be. There would more attacks if not."
Looking ahead to Saturday, Johansson expects a battle royale to decide the general classification winner. Because the profiles of past stages have been a bit misleading, Johansson is not entirely sure what to expect from the hilly parcours.
"It's difficult to tell how hard it's going to be," said Johansson. "There doesn't seem to be any chance that it will be a big group surviving to the finish. There are a lot of climbs and some of them are quite long. It's rolling and bumpy all the way up to the circuit, where we ride over the finish line at 30km for the start of the circuit."
"It's going to be a surprise," she added, playfully. "I think it's going to be hard no matter what. At least I hope it's going to be hard. I like hard racing."


text: STYLE Chadwick Boseman Debuts Virgil Abloh's First Designs for Louis Vuitton at ESPYs 6:11 PM PDT 7/18/2018 by Ingrid Schmidt FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images Stepping out in an all-white Louis Vuitton suit with urban-sportif accents, the 'Black Panther' star is on a winning style streak. There's no unseating Chadwick Boseman as fashion's red carpet king. At Wednesday's 26th annual ESPY Awards, held at the Microsoft Theater in L.A., the Black Panther star had yet another standout style moment in a monochromatic white look with urban-sportif accents from Virgil Abloh's inaugural spring 2019 collection for Louis Vuitton. (Abloh recently took the reins as the men's artistic director and first African-American menswear designer for the French luxury brand.) "We are really honored and thrilled that Chadwick's the first person to ever wear Virgil's debut collection," said Boseman's stylist, Ashley Weston, in an exclusive phone chat with The Hollywood Reporter. "When we saw the presentation in Paris in June, it was incredible. All the cream and off-white looks in the beginning were especially stunning. We wanted to wear every single look and thought it would be perfect for this moment, if we could get our hands on some pieces, so we were really happy to be able to get one of our favorites — a beautiful, all-white suited look with a cream-colored leather harness worn on top. We paired it with thick-soled, white-and-cream Louis Vuitton sneakers with gold hardware detail." A long-time fan of Abloh's designs, Boseman has sported the designer's buzzy streetwear label Off-White on several occasions, most notably a pre-spring 2019 denim-on-denim look embellished with impressionist-inspired artwork at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in June. And this isn't the first time the actor has looked right in white: He donned an all-white Versace ensemble with a cape jacket and gilded cross detailing at the Met Gala in May. But the Louis Vuitton look leans more clean, albeit with the edgy details that have become a Boseman signature. "This suit feels very fresh and modern and is completely in keeping with the vibe we've been doing for a while now, so I'm really excited about it," Weston said. "It's very different than what other people will be wearing and appropriate for this time of year. Since it's super hot and sunny outside, we wanted to keep the look light in creamy white." The ESPY Awards air at 8 p.m. tonight on ET/PT. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Ingrid Schmidt firstname.lastname@example.com IngridSchmidt_

A Monetary Base Analysis and Control Model for Turkey
Gursel, Haluk Ferden
Bennett, Robert L.
MetadataShow full item record
A monetary base analysis and control model is the focus of the paper. In the first chapter, the monetary base approach is presented and the links between monetary base, money supply and money income are shown. Further, the monetary policy problems of the developing countries are reviewed. The second chapter describes the institutional framework for Turkey. Here, as background information, the Central Bank, the Treasury and the State Economic Enterprises are examined from a monetary policy viewpoint. Also the stability of prices, the credit system, interest rates, money and security markets and foreign sector developments in recent decades are summarized. In the third chapter, the model which highlights the essentials of monetary base control is constituted. Here, the "direct" control of reserve money sources is suggested, and given the exogenously determined components of reserve money sources, the limits on the range of deliberate Central Bank-Treasury asset changes, through exchange rate, rediscount rate, open market interventions, etc., are estimated. The recommended use of the policy variable defined is explained in the last chapter.

Hop Rhizomes
Hop Rhizomes
Seasonally available, these hop rhizomes are from the hop grower/supplier Freshops. We usually start to get these hop rhizomes in mid March and have them for sale until early May.
•Cascade •Centennial •Chinook •Brewers Gold •Fuggle
•Golding •Perle •Nugget •Hallertauer
Each rhizome costs $5. When you purchase the rhizomes, they should be stored in a plastic bag slightly moistened and kept in a refrigerator until you are ready to plant them.
When planting, start the rhizomes in a peat pot with the buds pointed up, and then cover the buds with one inch of loose soil. Once the rhizome's new growth is at least four (4) inches high you can plant the rhizome and peat pot outside. The soil should be tilled so that is rock and week free. A strong support system is needed for the plant to climb on. Look for space along fences, garage, or property lines. Plant outside in mid spring once the threat of frost is gone.
If you have multiple rhizomes, plant them in hills at least three (3) feet apart if the hills are of the same variety and five (5) feet apart if they are different varieties. The first year the hop plant requires frequent light watering. You will be able to harvest some hops the first season but there will be little hop oil in the flowers. By the second season you will be able to use your hops in your home brew.

Looking for ways to improve your swimming? I would love to meet up with you on a Saturday morning and Share-A-Lane. I started the Share-A-Lane project to give back to the swimming community. Share-A-Lane sessions are a one-on-one training session with swimmers of any age that wish to improve their swimming, learn more or just be inspired.
Why Share-A-Lane?
I trained at many swimming pools across the world during my swimming career. The swimming community is huge. I've met many Triathletes, Juniors, Competitive swimmers, Masters and Re-creational swimmers all asking the same questions about the sport, and what is required to be a competitor.
Swimming has given me a lot over the past 9 years, so I decided it is time to give back to you, what I learned and gained as a swimmer. Swimming is not just a sport. It is a passion, teaches discipline, how to set goals and most importantly how to motivate yourself to achieve the goals you set.
Learn more about the distances I train during sessions, what type of sessions I do, my diet and nutrition, Gym, pre-race preparations and anything else you would like to know to improve your swimming. Let's have fun together and enjoy the sport we love so much.
I shared a lane with Michelle in January 2018. Michelle's Share-A-Lane project is something I definitely recommend. Michelle is kind, patient and makes you feel relaxed during the session. Swimming with Michelle gives you a taste of how hard the Olympians train and it inspired me to work harder and be more committed to training and swimming if I want to be a good swimmer. I feel so inspired after sharing a lane with Michelle. Thank you, Michelle I loved it! ~Monica Botha
How Do I Book A Lane?

Polo bedding is the king of bedding just as Polo is the sport of kings. It will give your home the excitement of the royal life. The grassy green fields and graceful horses featured on our comforters, duvet covers and other unique bedding bring your bedroom a sense of nature, while also conveying the intense action of this tough yet elegant sport. With polo bedroom sets you can give your son a comforter or duvet cover featuring an action photo of polo in action. One of our many photo designs is polo bedding with a horse which shows two players charging toward you on their brown horses in pursuit of the ball.
The players on these custom polo comforters are dressed in either white or turquoise and are set against white wooden fences and green grass. Another design that will amaze boys on their unique bedding displays a gorgeous white horse with a red saddle in mid gallop. The blue clad rider atop the leaping horse on this custom design is swinging his mallet after an airborne ball. We have a polo comforter set with horses or even polo bed sheets with horses- we know the horse is a special part of the sport.
Give your guest room a luxurious and thrilling decor with a polo comforter. Choose a personalized bedding bespread that exhibits a collage of classic polo badges. The badges mix British flags with blue, white or red silhouettes of polo players, sticks and ornamental patterns.
For a subtle effect, choose a unique bedding design that shows the solid black silhouette of a horse and rider set against a pure white background. Other polo bedding designs display detailed illustrations of vintage polo players, wide angle shots of fields, artistic representations of the chaos and beauty of this exciting sport, and photos that capture celebrations of victory. For the true polo enthusiast, we have custom rugs and window curtains that combine with your custom bedding to create a shrine to this epic game.

Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.
Elisa is the chosen one.
But she is also the younger of two princesses, the one who has never done anything remarkable. She can't see how she ever will.
Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.
And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies seething with dark magic are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. And he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.
Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn't die young.
Most of the chosen do.

Family 'distraught' after death of 'loving and caring' woman amid murder probe
The family of a "loving and caring" suspected murder victim have paid tribute to her kindness.
Fiona Scourfield, 54, from St Clears, Carmarthenshire, West Wales, was found dead at a property in the area after police were called there at approximately 5.47pm on Tuesday last week.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder and has since been charged and appeared in court.
On Tuesday, in a statement released by Dyfed-Powys Police, Ms Scourfield's family said they were "distraught by our loss" and that she would be "missed by us all".
They said: "Fiona was a loving and caring person, who will be remembered for her kindness, especially her kindness to animals.
"As an active member of the German Shepherd rescue Fiona spent her time rescuing and rehoming dogs.
"Fiona was a talented ceramicist."
The family thanked everyone for their support "at this horrific time".
"It has meant so much to the whole family," they said.
"We would now like time to grieve and would ask to be given privacy to do so."
Previously, charity colleagues of Ms Scourfield paid tribute to her tireless work to "make the world a better place for animals".
Ms Scourfield, who was also known as Suzi Wales, worked with UK German Shepherd Rescue.
In a post on Facebook, the charity said she could always be relied upon to help a dog in need.

Cushman & Wakefield's Tampa office hosted a salad luncheon to raise money to benefit JDRF. Employees were asked to sign up to bring a salad bar item and a $10 donation was requested to participate.
JDRF is a global organization with a strategic research plan to fight type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults. Currently, it cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
JDRF is a charity that the Tampa office supports throughout the year, spearheaded by our Asset Services Senior Managing Director, Tim Rivers. Tim's son, Jake, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2002. In the intervening years, Tim and his family have raised more than $700,000 in support of JDRF. Jake currently attends Hillsborough Community College where he studies finance and plays baseball.
The salad luncheon was a great success and raised $650.
The Cushman & Wakefield Florida team is committed to giving back to those in need in our communities and around the world. In honor of Cushman & Wakefield's Centennial, Cushman & Wakefield in Florida will be highlighting employees/initiatives giving back throughout the state. Our goal is to spotlight 100 examples of giving back in 2017.

We've been expecting the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity to arrive for a while now, but we've hard it has had some delays because of the lack of supply for the S4 processor that is also LTE enabled. This may be also why we can see that only the Wi-Fi only Tegra 3 version has passed through FCC recently.
The most exciting things about this tablet is not that it has LTE or a quad core processor, but that it will be the first tablet to feature a high resolution display in the Android ecosystem – and that's 1920×1200. Compared to iPad's 2048×1536 resolution, it;s a little less, but basically both of them can only play natively 1080p videos, and it will even look better on the Infinity tablet because the video will be on the whole screen, rather than just 2/3 of it, and look condensed.
As for PPI, the count is lower, but let's face it. Even the iPad 3 doesn't have a real "retina" display, at least according to Steve Jobs who said that a retina display has 300+ PPI (iPhone 4/4S has 326 PPI). The iPad 3 has only 264 PPI which is much less than iPhone 4S. Plus, if the rumors are true and the next iPhone will have 4" or higher, that will put it closer to the iPad's PPI as well, and it won't technically have a "retina display" anymore.
The upcoming Macbook Pros should have a 2560×1600 resolution (or 2880×1800 as some rumors say), which at 15" is about the same PPI as this Transformer Pad Infinity. And guess what – they are going to call it "retina display". So I think it's safe to say that the Transformer Pad Infinity has a retina display as Apple calls them, although in the end none of these new devices will have 300+ PPI anymore, so they are all just high-resolution displays.

Philip Roth's layered novels are a challenge for filmmakers (see also 2003's The Human Stain or this year's American Pastoral), but they're so rich and provocative that they can't be ignored. For his directing debut, writer-producer James Schamus (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Brokeback Mountain) adaps this story as a tightly controlled period drama with blackly comical edges and darkly personal emotions.
It's set in 1951 New Jersey, where the young Marcus (Logan Lerman) is preparing to leave home for university in Ohio. His parents (Linda Emond and Danny Burstein) are worried that he will make the same mistakes that are ruining teens' lives across the country at the moment or, even worse, head off to fight in the Korean War. But Marcus is a very serious kid, focussed on making his own decisions about what he wants to do. He certainly wants nothing to do with his crazy roommates (Ben Rosenfield and Philip Ettinger) or the Jewish frat-house, whose leader (Pico Alexander) is desperately trying to recruit him. And then there's the pressure he's getting from the university dean (Tracy Letts). He's much more interested in the enigmatic Olivia (Sarah Gadon), a young woman who constantly surprises him.
Yes, this is essentially a coming-of-age drama about a young man making the shift from his loving family to take control of his own destiny in the big bad world. But it's much more complex than that, as it weaves in political and topical themes. The conversations are riveting, as Marcus' atheistic beliefs provoke everyone he meets. This leads to a stunning centrepiece scene, a blistering 15-minute argument between Marcus and the dean that's like a battlefield set-piece with subtle attacks, bomb blasts and surprising outcomes. Through all of this Schamus maintains the beautifully tailored appearance of the period, when the carefully muted surfaces obscured the churning, world-changing ideas underneath.

The film Indignation is a screen adaptation of Philip Roth's novel of the same name which was released in 2008. The film is set in Ohio in the 1950's and is centred around the character Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman) a working class Jewish boy who has moved to the conservative college in Ohio on a scholarship. On the move to the college this now means that he is exempt from being selected to fight in the Korean War.

When Jenny returns home for the christening of the newest member of their family, it doesn't take her mother and father long to start the usual 'when are you going to find a man and settle down' lecture.

After years of living together and being open about their relationship with their city friends, Jenny comes out to her parents and announces her wish to marry the love of her life. Having lived a sheltered existence, this comes as a huge shock to Eddie and Rose and neither know how to take the news - asking Jenny to keep her partner a secret.

Ray is, in many ways, a regular New York teenager who enjoys skating, goes to school and is being raised by a single mother. The only unusual thing about him is that he was born female. Now he's hit puberty, he wants to under-go hormone replacement therapy and his mother Maggie is behind him one-hundred per cent. She may be grieving for the daughter that she's lost, but all she wants is for Ray to be happy and feel whole. The news that Ray wants to become a boy doesn't sit well with everyone, however. Her lesbian grandmother Dolly, for example, with whom he and his mother lives is dismissive of the idea of transitioning, and when the time comes to sign the parental consent form from the doctor, Maggie struggles to get her estranged husband to agree too. Ray isn't backing down without a fight; he refuses to go to school until he can start afresh in a boyish body, having undergone years of bullying. But it's going to take some serious discussion for him to be accepted for he is by the people around him.

Jeffrey (Campbell Scott) is a bottom line-driven producer interested in Robert's (Peter Sarsgaard) script "The Dying Gaul," a semi-autobiographical tale about AIDS based on his relationship with his now-dead agent and partner Malcolm (Bill Camp). However, to make the project commercially viable, Jeffrey demands that Robert change the central couple from a homosexual to heterosexual duo. Jettisoning his integrity, Robert sells out and does as Jeffrey asks, in the process pocketing $1 million and establishing a close-knit friendship with Jeffrey and his failed screenwriter wife Elaine (Patricia Clarkson), whose life is so purposeless that learning how to control her multi-million dollar house's blinds constitutes an exciting afternoon. Yet the happy threesome's relationship is soon torn asunder when, after learning that Robert frequents chat rooms, Elaine strikes up an in-disguise online conversation with her new friend and learns that he's having an affair with Jeffrey. This devastating discovery frighteningly undercuts Elaine's sense of security and stability while also igniting a desire for retribution, leading to a dangerous game of cyberspace cat-and-mouse in which Elaine poses as the back-from-the-dead spirit of Malcolm and, ultimately, each character's true, less-than-savory personalities are drawn out into the blinding L.A. light of day.

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur. He is a co-founder of Facebook, and is currently its chairman and chief executive officer. Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard University dormitory room on February 4, 2004 with college roommates and fellow Harvard students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The group then introduced Facebook to other college campuses. Facebook expanded rapidly, reaching one billion users by 2012. During this time, Zuckerberg became involved in various legal disputes brought by his friends and cofounders, who claimed they were due a share of the company based upon their involvement during its development phase.
Early Life
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, and grew up in the suburbs of New York, Dobbs Ferry. He was the second of four children and the only son in the educated family. Mark's father, Edward Zuckerberg, is a dentist and mother, Karen Zuckerberg, is a psychiatrist. His father owned a dental practice next to the family house. Mark and his three sisters, Arielle, Randi, and Donna, were raised in Dobbs Ferry, New York.
Mark got interested in programming yet in elementary school. The fact that the world is divided between programmers and users, Mark found out when he was 10 years old and got his first PC Quantex 486DX on the Intel 486.

From Mark Zuckerberg biography we found out he was taught Atari BASIC Programming by his father, and when Mark was about 12, he used Atari BASIC to create a messenger, which he called "ZuckNet." It made all the computers connected to each other and allowed to transfer messages between the house and dental office. His father installed the messenger on his computer in his dentist office, and the receptionist could inform him when a new patient arrived. Mark also enjoyed developing games and communication tools and as he said he was doing it just for fun. His father, Edward Zuckerberg, even hired a computer tutor David Newman, who gave his son some private lessons.
Also being at high school, Mark wrote an artificially intelligent media player Synapse for MP3-playlists that carefully studied the preferences of a user and was able to generate playlists 'guessing,' which tracks a user wanted to listen to. Microsoft and AOL got an unusual interest in Synapse media player and wanted to acquire it. However, the young talent rejected the offer of the IT-giants and then politely rejected their invitation to cooperate. Just like that, Mark Zuckerberg refused from dozens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and work at one of the top IT-corporations.
In 2002, after graduating Phillips Exeter, Zuckerberg entered Harvard University. By his second year in the Ivy League, he had gained a reputation as a software developer on campus. It was then when he wrote a program CourseMatch, which helped students choose their subjects on the basis of lists of courses from other users.
FaceMash – A Fun Site for Voting
In 2003, once summer evening when Mark Zuckerberg suffered from insomnia in the Harvard dormitory room, he got an idea to create a site called FaceMash. Mark decided to hack the database of Harvard, where the students uploaded their profile pictures. He quickly wrote a program that randomly selected two pictures of two random female students and put them next to each other, asking "Who is hotter?", giving the option for voting.
The process was in full swing and site was visited by most of the students at Harvard. When the number of visitors exceeded the limit, the server crashed due to overload. Mark appeared before the committee on computer hacking. Of course, nobody told Mark Zuckerberg 'Well done!' and he received a disciplinary action, and had noticed that such kind of things cause stormy interest in society. By the way, Harvard has refused to comment on the incident up till now.
The Rising of Facebook

About ten months before the Zuckerberg's FaceMash epic, one of the students of Harvard – Divya Narendra – had already spoken with the idea of creating a social network exclusively for Harvard students, many of whom were suffering from emotional stiffness. And not have 'aliens' engaged into the network, Narendra suggested using Harvard email address as the main username.
Divya Narendra's partners were twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. The father of the Winklevoss twins, Howard Winklevoss, is a successful financial consultant and put in his sons a lot of efforts and money – so the problem with the initial capital for the future network could be solved easily.
How Facebook Makes Money
In 2013, the turnover of Facebook, Inc. reached $7.87 billion and net income – $1.5 billion. The growth rates are also impressive: three years turnover has increased six-fold.
The basic earnings of Facebook come from contextual ads on the pages of the social network. Growing number of users and the time they spend on the site is converted into advertising revenues. 85% percent of cash-flow that went through the company last year was earned through contextual advertising.
The most of the rest 15% are deductions from purchases made through the Facebook payment system. These are mostly not real, but virtual goods. For example seeds, fruits and vegetables, purchased by fans of the popular game Farmville developed by Zynga
Despite the apparent frivolity, virtual goods is a serious business, and the Facebook report confirms that. The company estimated that in 2010 the global market turnover for virtual goods reached $7 billion, and by 2014, it rose to $15 billion.
At the beginning of January 2013, Facebook Inc. started testing the service of paid private messaging. Facebook charges $1.00 for a private message that you can send to the users who are not in your friend list. And the message goes directly to their Inbox folder, instead of Other one. But Facebook went further and realized that some users are worth more than a $1. If you want to send a message to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and get into his inbox, you might have to pay $100 for this exclusive option. This is another very simple way to generate additional revenue.
Mark Zuckerberg is a great strategist, and he keeps acquiring companies that continue their operation as independent entities under Facebook's umbrella.
In April 2012, acquired mobile photo sharing app Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock. Initially, it was an iOS application developed by Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom. Now the Instagram application is available on Android OS as well.
In March 2014, Facebook closed the acquisition of Oculus Rift for $2 billion. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality hardware engineered by Oculus VR Company headed by Palmer Freeman Luckey. Facebook paid $400 million in cash plus 23.1m Facebook shares, with a further $300 million in incentives if it hits certain milestones in the future.
In October 2014, Mark Zuckerberg completed the purchase of WhatsApp for $22 billion. Facebook paid $4.59 billion in cash and 177,760,669 shares in the company. WhatsApp is an instant messaging application founded by Jan Koum and Brian Acton in 2009.
Life Style
Zuckerberg lives in the Palo Alto in a $7 million estate that features 5 bedrooms a saltwater pool, and over 5,000 square feet of property.
On May 19, 2012, Mark Zuckerberg married his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan in Palo Alto, California and finally they happily live together.
1. Believes in his Product
Facebook was all of four months old when an investor offered Zuckerberg close to $10 million dollars for the website. As tempting as the offer was, he declined and stuck with his baby. After that there was Google, Viacom, News Corp. Then, Yahoo came by in 2006 and decided that millions were just not good enough and offered Zuckerberg a cool $1 billion. But, Zuckerberg knew that Facebook was his baby and he hadn't even tapped its potential yet. He stuck with Facebook and watched it rise in popularity. In 2007, Microsoft came knocking with a $15 billion offer, but this, too just didn't cut it. Even though these were still early days for Facebook, Zuckerberg believed in his product and he believed in his vision. And then, a few years later, the Facebook surge conquered the world and how. Suddenly, $15 billion seemed like poor man's play!
2. Eye on the Clock
You could have an IQ that challenges Albert Einstein but you've got to have an uncanny knack to own time. Mark Zuckerberg has aced this and made it an art almost. Whether it came to ignoring Facebook buyouts or buying Instagram – time was of essence and in both cases, Zuckerberg owned time. The fact that he didn't sell Facebook has made him one of the most powerful and wealthiest individuals on earth and of course his ability to buy Instagram for half its asking price is proof enough that Zuckerberg knows when to wait and knows when to move. Besides this, he has an innate ability to recognise the one thing, maybe two that really matter and he acts. This is a man who knows all the cards he holds but knows what someone else is holding even better!
3. Do what it takes to get what you want
If you have ever watched an interview with the Facebook founder you will notice how determined and focussed he is on driving Facebook perpetually forward. This has been true since day one. To get the growth he wanted Mark used his computer programming skills as a type of currency to trade for exposure or favours, offering hours of coding time in exchange for a contact or other favours. To get what you want, and to take your vision in the right direction, you have to be able to use what you've got. Without this smart use of social currency, Facebook may not have been as big as it is today.
4. Go Big or Go Home
Facebook may be a huge internet and social media phenomenon now, but it wasn't always that way, and while it grew quickly, what made it stand out was Zuckerberg's drive and vision for where his dorm room start-up would end up. When you are building a company, you have to dream so big that you fear telling small minds. Zuckerberg dreamed of connecting hundreds of millions of people around the world, and he succeeded. Working towards a goal takes a lot of small steps, but they all add up. Use Mark as an example and go big.
The question Zuckerberg asks himself to make sure he's going big: "The question I ask myself like almost every day is, 'Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?'"
5. Listens to His Employees
They say that good bosses follows his instincts but great bosses listens to their employees. As far back as 2005, when Mark Zuckerberg was busy meeting with venture capitalists for Facebook, he was known to disappear for long stretches of time, leaving his employees with no plan and no vision for the future. Seeing that most of his then staff was getting demotivated, a senior executive told him about his lack of CEO-like behaviour. Zuckerberg listened, found himself mentors who helped him improve his communication skills and now, he's a pro. In fact, current Facebook employees laud him for giving them a clear picture of where the company is and where it's going.

Tasting Notes
Wine beautiful color "white gold" with gray-silver sheen.
The wine has a well balanced, refreshing taste with notes of citrus, pear, flowers and hazelnut, with a bitter aftertaste hints of grapefruit.
The elegant aroma of the wine and citrus notes are felt shades of the forest.
The wine goes well with fish dishes, seafood, white meat poultry, and soft cheeses.
Interesting Facts
White wine Meursault "Clos de Mazeray" from Domaine Jacques Prieur is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyard, which is a private monopoly economy. The vineyard is surrounded by an old stone wall, located on the outskirts of the village of Meursault on the site of an ancient river bed on the clay-limestone soil. The vineyard was created by the hands of monks from the monastery of Citeaux, located nearby. Since ancient times, are produced excellent red and white wines. For the production of wine "Meursault Clos de Mazere" the grapes are harvested by hand, then the entire bunches are placed in pneumatic press. Alcoholic fermentation and aging of wine in oak barrels are held, of which 30% - new. The wine undergoes a secondary malolactic fermentation and then aged for 18 months and then bottled in traditional Burgundy bottles. The wine is ready to drink, and can be stored for 6-7 years after bottling.
History of Domain Jacques Priёr (Domaine Jacques Prieur), based in the heart of Meursault, originated in 1898. "You can never fully own wine estate may only be the custodian of the values and traditions to transmit them to future generations." This quote is particularly true of Jacques Priёra and history Domain whose wine and family traditions are a perfect illustration of the Burgundian character.
Domain forte - a reunion under one name the most prestigious wines of Burgundy terroirs from Montrachet to Chambertin and Corton, Eshezo and Myusini. Domain Jacques Priёr owns vineyards in 22 appellasonah, including the most legendary in the Côte d'Or. This is the only domain in Burgundy, who owns vines in each of the five prestigious vineyards: Chambertin, Myusini, Clos Vougeot, Corton-Charlemagne and Montrachet. This is complemented by an impressive collection of sites in other Grand Cru Côte de Nuits in and Côte de Beaune. Thus, the domain Jacques Priёr owns one of the brightest jewels in the crown of Burgundy!
Consists entirely of Grand Cru and Premier Cru (except Clos de Meursault in the IRPA), Domain produces famous white and red wines. However, even the most delightful terroir - nothing without the expertise and passion of man. From the beginning, the family responsible for the domain, provide the best care and attention in order to preserve the vineyards of the soil and create ideal conditions for vines. All the vineyards are processed in accordance with the principles of organic farming. Grapes from each plot vinified separately to preserve all of the unique characteristics. Today Domain manages Jean-Pierre La Bruyere La Bruyere and Edward, as well as Martin Priёr. Domain is a highly respected winemaker Nadine Gyublen, received in 1997 the title of "Winemaker of the Year" from the "Revue du Vin de France".
Martin Priёr determines the winery philosophy as follows: "... The quality of wine depends largely on the quality of grapes: only ripe and healthy berries can have a truly great wine. ... Last time we practice the so-called method of viticulture raisonnee (reasonable viticulture) which, in conjunction with the biodynamic method has allowed us to achieve an optimal balance between the produced wines and grapes are grown.

Second hand? Doesn't everyone do this with their first home?
A University of New Hampshire professor who teaches Environmental Economics put her expertise to good use in furnishing her home entirely with second-hand items.
via Fosters
I'm not impressed. In my generation (late Stone Age) nearly everyone furnished their first home, usually a cheap apartment, with second hand and hand-me-down stuff.

Meet Dr. Kerry Ahrens, emergency medicine physician
Thu, Sep 20, 2018
A love of teaching brought Dr. Kerry Ahrens to a middle school in Waunakee, Wisconsin. A love of science and the human body led her to a career emergency medicine with BayCare Clinic.
"I used to be a middle school teacher before I was an emergency medicine physician," says Ahrens. "I wanted an easier job, but I love teaching and I think that's a big part of what we should be doing in general. We teach our patients and those who provide healthcare. It's a good way to ensure you have a high quality of care at work and in your community."
Her transition from teaching students to seeing patients wasn't a quick decision. It was years in the making.
"After graduating, I did apply to medical school, but never filled out my secondary applications. I thought I wasn't smart enough and that my grades weren't good enough," Ahrens says. "I went on to do a master's in science. I also worked at a vet school and was the TA (teaching assistant) for the vet students and thought they worked too hard; I didn't want to do that."
After grad school, Ahrens taught middle school science at Madison Country Day School.
"I was teaching the physical sciences, and every year the physics portions kept getting shorter and shorter and the human body unit kept getting longer. I thought, 'it's not fair to these kids.' I finally decided where I needed to go."
Since starting as an emergency medicine physician, Ahrens knows she's found her perfect fit.
"I like knowing how to pretty much do a little bit of everything," she says. "I love not knowing what's going to happen each day. I especially love the people and meeting my patients, getting to know them a little bit, and getting them to laugh on a day that can be really bad for them."
As a physician, Ahrens' goal is to provide a positive experience for her patients.
"I want to be the doctor that listens, the doctor that really hears what the patient is telling me," Ahrens says. "Knowing what they're worried about and what's happened to them in the past helps me build a picture of what's wrong and it helps me provide the best treatment possible."
Outside of practicing medicine, Ahrens has another goal she's determined to meet.
"I want to run a marathon in every state. I've run 15, but several were in Wisconsin, so it didn't count," Ahrens says.
Despite her busy lifestyle and ever-changing schedule, family remains her priority.
"I have two daughters and a husband. My family is super important," Ahrens says. "I want to make sure my girls are getting the education they need at home and in school. We also want to travel as much as we can. Our schedules don't always allow it, but when we do, we have a really fun time," she says.
Dr. Kerry Ahrens is an emergency medicine physician with BayCare Clinic. She sees patients in Green Bay, Oshkosh, and Two Rivers.

EuroMAB opens meeting in Estonia to discuss biosphere reserves: from heritage to sustainable innovation
EuroMAB – the largest and oldest of the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) networks, which includes European and North American countries – opened its 2015 meeting today in Haapsalu, Estonia. During the five-day meeting countries will discuss key issues around the new MAB Strategy (2015-2025) to be examined at the forthcoming 27th session of the MAB International Coordinating Council to take place in Paris in June 2015.
The participants will also examine the implementation of the MAB Exit Strategy and the preliminary results from the communication and branding EuroMAB project. The contribution of EuroMAB to the preparation of the World Congress of Biosphere Reserves (Lima, March 2016) will also constitute a main topic of discussion during this event.
A number of workshops and projects proposals during the meeting will highlight the feasibility of combining local traditions and practices with business. They will share insights and lessons from social enterprises and encourage cooperation between community-based knowledge and scientific knowledge and research, with a view to discussing ideas and insights such as 'green care'.

My enthusiasm and perseverance for green living has always motivated me to make it a part of my everyday life. The interest became more apparent after I had my first baby (I have two now :)). Being a mom I realised that there are lot more we can do to raise a healthy family which will also help to protect our environment as well save us money. The idea hit me when I was mopping my tile floor using a general antibacterial cleaning product. I felt that the smell being emitted was so strong and intense that it was literally making me nauseous and giving me a headache. Having a little one sitting just around the corner, my concern grew towards the quality of air he was inhaling. And this is when I started looking for alternatives for household chemical cleaning products. To my surprise, I came across numerous things that parents could adopt to sustain a green and healthy living. And now opting a green living has become more than just an interest to me, it has become a mere necessity.
Having baby means buying more stuff and creating lots of waste, utilising more water and energy, more expenses and less savings. On the other side children are vulnerable to the chemicals and other external particles that get emitted through cleaning products, plastic toys, smoke, dust etc. While it is important for children to stay away from all these, it is equally important to think about protecting the environment which they will inherit in future.
As parents it is our duty to make sensible and effective decision and conscious choices for the family and to transfer the knowledge to the younger generation. The choices we all make today are part of the legacy we'll leave our children and grandchildren. This space will hold information on how parents can adopt green and healthy living in a simple, fun and yet effective way. Be it small actions like washing your clothes in cold water and drying them in sun rather than using dryer, or making your own cleaning products rather than buying chemical laden products from supermarket. Changing ourlifestyle and our behaviour will not only lead us towards healthy life but also significantly reduce our impact on the environment. As a parent to two young children one of my main focus is to reduce the use of toxic chemicals which are found in abundant quantity in the mainstream cleaning products.
Through this page I aspire is to encourage all the moms (and dads) to be mindful of the environmental impacts of their everyday actions and live a more sustainable life. If you are a beginner in green living and just started getting concerned for a healthy family and better environment, you are just at the right place. It will give you much pleasure than ever that there are so much you can do for yourself, your family, community and the entire planet. Being a mom gives you one more reason to go green.
