Author's Note:
Shaping up to interesting. I like how fast this is going. I mean I'm really rolling and impressing myself.
What do you think?
BTW, I loved loved loved all the comments on the last post. You're really challenging me and I can understand how much you dislike how Lauren is "keeping hope alive."
I spoke to my strong independent daughter about Lauren and she felt the same way you guys felt, BUT she said given Lauren's history she could understand a woman pining for her first love unconditionally… UNTIL something better than him came along.
I didn't tell her much about Tyler because he's not really better, just bitter.
Chapter 7
Deborah looked shocked to see Lauren waiting in the lobby for her the next morning.
They road up the elevator in silence and soon as they arrived at Deborah's desk, Lauren was handed her timecard to fill out.
"I'll just put the rest in this bin for you," Deborah said.
"Why were you looking surprised I was here this morning?" Lauren asked.
"Neither one of us expected you to return after yesterday."
"Tyler didn't think I'd come back?"
Deborah nodded. "He called me last night and said yesterday would be the last time we would see you."
Lauren finished filling out her time card and then walked to the second-floor conference room without another word to Deborah.
She needed the money more than she needed to save her pride and decided not to say anything to provoke her anger and make Deborah fire her.
Today, she was determined to work even harder. Now she didn't care whether Dylan saw her or knew what she was doing. Lauren worked angrily.
Did Tyler take her for a lazy woman? Someone who expected everyone else to lay the world at her feet? She was hardworking and determined to show him she could do amazing things.
By lunch, she finished up another corner and just like the day before, she came back to the room and slept.
At the end of the day, Lauren had finished another corner of the room and smiled proud of herself. She had found a great system to work smarter and not harder, but there was no way to get around lifting the boxes and putting them on the large dolly they provided.
Presenting her timecard at the end of the day, Deborah wrote out another check.
"I'm not a woman that dares to get in anyone's business, but can I ask a personal question?"
Lauren had a feeling she wouldn't like the question, but she nodded her acquiescence to Deborah to ask.
"Why do you still harbor feelings that Mr. Knight wants to speak to you?"
That question was extremely personal. A question Lauren had never really asked herself because she would have to delve deeper into what could possibly be hurt and pain.
Bravely, she faced her fears and answered, "Because we're in love and this is a simple misunderstanding. If this was some silly romance novel, it'd be over by the third chapter because all we have to do is talk out the misunderstandings. This is all just some miscommunication that can be straightened out by letting Dylan know what he believed was a lie. I just need a few minutes with him."
Deborah looked clearly skeptical. "Didn't he take Mr. Black's adoptive sister on the honeymoon you planned and paid for."
Lauren gripped her chest as if she had gotten cut by a knife. "Dylan was acting out of hurt and he's told me they are just really close friends since he's grown up with Tyler most of his life. She's like his little sister."
"I didn't mean to be so personal, Ms. Jensen. I guess I don't believe in love that way. My husband used to beat me until I passed out. That was how I thought love was. I've never met anyone who blindly believes love conquers all."
"I do believe it. Dylan was my very first love and first relationship. My parents married right out of high school and loved each other unconditionally until they day they died. Sure, they had bumps and bruises and there were some misunderstandings, but in the end, everything worked out. Deep in his heart, I know Dylan loves me and once we can sit and talk this will all be a passing memory." She pressed on her back that ached.
"And you'll just forgive him? Just like that?"
Proudly, Lauren answered, "A wife forgives her husband always. I'm sorry you and Tyler have never known real love, but I have and I know Dylan and I will show to the world that love never dies."
Deborah frowned confused, but said, "You have a good day, Ms. Jensen."
Out the corner of her eye as she turned, she noticed behind a stack of papers, Deborah's phone was out and it looked as if it was on speaker.
Lauren had a feeling Tyler had been listening and as soon as Lauren was out of earshot those two would have a lot to discuss.
Lauren could careless. She needed to catch the bank before closing and sitting there trying to verbally justify she wasn't some spoiled princess, frivolously in love, would mean nothing but a waste of breath on her part. Let them think she was stupid to be so blindly in love. When Dylan came back and they talked about everything, the world would really see she'd been right all along.
For now, Lauren would need to prove visually she was not someone who didn't know what hard work was and to show she was all about business and getting things done.
Looking at her list of items needed for her place, she was barely paying attention to her surroundings as she came out of the bank and walked right into someone diligently blocking her path.
The force was enough to knock her on her posterior and when she looked up to see who she'd bumped into her stomach starting hurting too.
"You could have killed me," Tyler said brushing off his impeccable suit and not bothering to help her up.
"I thought you were in Chicago," she snapped, still on the ground. "What are you doing here?"
"Unlike you, I go to banks to put money in. Are you going to stay sitting on the streets or are you trying to get a feel of what true homeless people do?"
Lauren scrambled up, hating that she was just staring up at him in shock.Checking the time on her phone, she determined she had ten minutes to make her bus home so she could get to the convenience store around her place to buy some items from her list.
"Where are you going?" he demanded sounding insulted she'd started to walk away from him.
"I'm not about to stand here and battle wits with you, Tyler."
"Good because you'd lose."
"I have a bus to catch."
He blocked her way. "Lauren, are you an idiot or are you trying to ignore me?"
His question caught her off guard. People were walking around them and she felt she was the only one that noticed anyone around them. Tyler's focus was on her and her alone.
"What are you talking about?"
"I asked you a question. Where are you going?"
She had a feeling he wasn't just going to let her go, so she answered his question straightforward. "I was going to the storage before I go home. There are things I need."
"Get in," he ordered pointing to his car. " I'll take you."
Looking at his car and then back at him warily, Lauren questioned, "Why?"
"I told you I don't discuss business in public." He had the nerve to look annoyed as he opened up the passenger door. "I'm not asking again."
She wanted to point out he didn't ask in the first place, but curiosity was killing her to know what Tyler wanted to discuss with her.
When he sat on the driver's side, she noted, "I thought you were going in the bank to make a deposit."
He put the car in gear and said, "I changed my mind. Business is always more important than pleasure."
Lauren wasn't sure what he meant by that, but she didn't press him because she didn't want to try to understand Tyler anymore than she needed his money for herself.
"What business did you have to discuss with me?"
He looked at her as if she should know already but then turned those black soulless eyes back to the road. "How long have you been wearing the same clothes?"
Confused as to why he needed to know this information, she responded, "What does it matter?"
"Because you had the same clothes on yesterday and I bet these are the only good clothes you have, but they really aren't good clothes with the holes in the stockings and the lining coming out from that skirt."
She pulled her skirt over her knees embarrassed. "What does it matter?"
"What's after this job?" he asked pulling up in front of the storage place. "What do you have lined up?"
Lauren hadn't thought that far and didn't know how to answer him.
He answered for her."Another lousy minimum wage temp job? Because you will never get back to where you were. You've been permanently blackballed."
"Are you trying to throw salt on my wounds, Tyler?" She jumped out of the car and went inside the storage facility.
Unfortunately, he followed her down the hallway and into the elevator. Her storage unit was on the third floor where the smaller units were. They were about as big as closets but the items she had in there wasn't a lot, yet it was all she had of her childhood and her life including pictures, her books and other keepsakes including her mother's wedding dress.
Deborah had known what to really keep and for that Lauren was very grateful.
Tyler still followed her to the unit and stood outside while she tried to ignore him. Inside the unit, she needed a couple of books to refresh herself about databases and a notebook to online accounts she wanted to access.
Back in college, she had various software she would use to train herself in doing various functions. With the small amount she made from Tyler, she had planned to start to garner her own business with other small companies.
She wouldn't need temporary services that took the majority of her money.
Putting these books and the notes in her bag, she rolled her eyes when she came out of the storage unit to see Tyler still there.
"I can catch the bus home from here," she said. "As for my future, I have a small plan, but it's going to take a lot of time."
"What's the plan?" he demanded to know.
"I want to open up my own business," she answered. "I hate to admit you're right. I can't live off the minimum wage and too many people know me. I could go places that really need my help for the money I can live off of and just build my own business."
He actually looked interested. "And how long do you think that would take to make enough money to actually live off comfortably."
"Honestly?" she asked locking up her storage unit and leaning against the opposite wall across from him. "I'll probably need about five thousand to get the business going and then I just need to make a decent living until Dylan comes back from Africa and I can talk with him. Eight to ten thousand would be a dream, but I know that's impossible."
Disappointment showed clearly on his face. "That may be years. He took the assignment because he was very heartbroken and he knew there was a lot of work over there to keep him occupied."
"I'll do what I have to do to survive until then."
"Anything?" he questioned with a very wicked look in his eyes.
"Yes, anything."
"How about for the eight thousand, you have sex with me?"
Gasping in shock, with all her might she slapped him across the face and ran out of the storage. She ran away from the building until her legs felt like they were going to collapse and her lungs were about to come out of her chest.
He hadn't followed her and she finally stopped, falling down by an alley about eight blocks away from the storage unit. Gripping her chest and trying not to throw up, she put her face in her other hand and cried.
Lauren sobbed hysterically because, for just a millimeter of a second, she had been desperate enough to accept Tyler's offer.
This author love comments. The more you give the more she writes. Let me know what you think? Don't forget to get your friends involved. Make this the office fodder. Tell your book group about it.

Good teamwork doesn't happen on its own. It takes deliberate time and effort.
How good is your team at coming together, working together, sticking together and celebrating together?
At the EA, we're blessed with an incredible team of dedicated people who work very hard, collaborate and share ideas with each other, positively work through challenges, and celebrate victories.
That's a relatively short sentence, but there's a lot of stuff packed into those thirty words. Let's take a closer look to see what insights can be gleaned from them.
1. Leverage the talents of your team members.
A key to building a successful team is taking some time to recognize the various communication styles, working styles, and talents of your team members, and then aligning those assets with the needs of the team.
For example, if one of the team members has a penchant for graphic design, then turn that person loose on developing the marketing message. Do you have another team member who's methodical or analytically inclined? That person could be perfect in the role of treasurer or planner. Another person might be good at motivating, listening and distilling information and ideas; perhaps that person could be your team lead.
The point is, aligning responsibilities according to your team members' talents and skills can go a long way toward strengthening buy-in, commitment, and success. For example, at The EA, when we build a conference, the whole team gets involved. From the early planning stages all the way through the logistics on the day of the event, everyone plays an important part that meshes with their talents and skills. Everyone also knows what parts their other team members are playing, so they know who to contact with any questions, challenges, or needs.
2. The free sharing of ideas can be a powerful thing.
Members of well-performing teams are very good at sharing ideas. Using our previous example of a conference, at the EA, the event team chooses a theme for each of our conferences, and then comes up with ways to carry out the theme. Those theme development meetings are usually some of the best parts of our conference planning process. All ideas are considered, none are initially rejected, and the energy in those meetings is amazing.
The team members know going in that no idea is too far-fetched, and they're encouraged to let them fly. Over the years, these meetings have resulted in some pretty amazing outcomes.
As a recent example, we were in the midst of planning our 2016 Employment Law Conference, the theme of which was "It's a Jungle Out There", when someone said, "We need a monkey!" After the high-fiving settled down a bit, we thought, why not?!
So one of our team members, Judi Roe, made a call to the Toledo Zoo – an EA member – and spoke with our primary contact, Nancy Foley. Nancy immediately got excited and said, "Let me see what I can do." With Nancy's help, and the help of her very talented team, we had the privilege of being joined at the conference by a beautifully majestic owl, an incredibly cute miniature porcupine, and a couple of other wonderful animal guests.
3. Let your team do their thing.
I mentioned earlier that one of the best parts of our process is seeing our team members freely sharing their ideas. Another part of the process that's pretty darn cool is the day of the event when our team is fully engaged, working the plan, and on. They know what to do, they know how their parts fit in and contribute to the plan as a whole, and they work so well together that if an issue crops up, they resolve it promptly and seamlessly, many times so efficiently that I'm not even aware there was a problem. They operate like a well-oiled machine – a talented, hardworking, fun-loving, 14-part machine.
5. Teamwork, done well, takes some effort.
Good teamwork doesn't happen on its own. It takes deliberate time and effort. With a strong foundation of respect, an ongoing awareness of each individual's style, talents and skills, a commitment to positive communication, and a focus on a quality outcome, a team can become a high-performing unit that can achieve anything it sets out to accomplish.
Be purposeful in encouraging your people to do what they're good at, giving them confidence in bringing ideas to the table, giving them freedom to make decisions within their expertise, making them feel valued, and finally, celebrating their success. It will transform your team!

The HY3200SEI houses a new inverter board designed to cope with the extreme inductive loads applied when using power tools and electric motors with high start up currents. The new LCD display makes it easy to monitor the performance of the generator, displaying voltage, frequency and hour count.
Powered by the Hyundai 210cc 4-stroke OHV engine, the HY3200SEi produces 3200w / 3.2kW and is more than capable of powering televisions, small air compressors for inflatable beds, electric heaters, power tools laptops, lights, etc.
The control panel features two 230v sockets for use with any appliance which uses a standard 3-pin 13A UK mains plug, as well as a 12v DC battery charging outlet, so it's ideal for a variety of uses.

Few countries tie in their national identity with their culinary history as closely as France. When you think of French cuisine, your mind probably focuses immediately on cheeses, wines and baguettes. That may need to change, however, as the organic movement picks up steam within the country.
Between 2012 and 2014, France led Europe in new organic fruit and vegetable products, with nearly a quarter of all new produce introduced carrying the organic claim, according to Mintel. This compares quite favorably to other European countries, including Germany (20%), Italy (8%) and the U.K (5%).
The drive for these organic products, according to Mintel, is two-sided. Food safety is one half of the equation, with two-thirds of surveyed consumers citing it as a concern. Younger consumers and households with children tend to be the most open to using organic fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, about half of French consumers believe that organic products are better for the environment when compared to traditional produce.
The data suggests that there are opportunities to increase organic fruit and vegetable product uptake in France if marketers focus on younger consumers and households with children. Mintel believes those long-held cultural culinary traditions are evolving in France due to longer working hours, more women in the workplace and the growth of single-person households.
To meet these changing cultural norms, Mintel advises convenience above all else, as it plays a part in purchasing decisions for about half of French consumers when analyzing vegetable purchases. Frozen formats also grew by 10% during the time period, playing on the notion held by 50% of French consumers that frozen foods are just as nutritious as fresh.

Share Excel Workbook (Table of Contents)
Share Excel Workbook
When you work for a company you need to send some sort of reports to your manager, subordinates, chairman or director. Usually, we share our end report with the stakeholders in terms of excel file, PDF, PowerPoint or one or other ways.
Especially when you are working in a team often you need some data from others or someone needs data from you as well. In these cases sharing excel workbook makes the life easier for you instead of sending the excel file as an attachment every time data requires from the concerned person.
One of the biggest advantages of sharing a workbook instead of sending as an attachment is you can track all the changes that are done by your colleague or manager at any point in time.
We can share the workbook with our colleagues by using some of the online platforms called One drive, Google drive, dropbox etc… But none of them can track you the changes for you.
In this article, I will explain to you the way of sharing an excel workbook with others including the tracker to track the changes by other people.

Special Qualities betwixt and between, invisibility
Betwixt and Between (Su)
A sigbin is made up of the slightest bit of shadow stuff, allowing it to treat shadows as solid. The sigbin still affects the real world as usual and this grants no concealment benefits nor does it grant the sigbin the ghost touch ability for any of its attacks, but it does gain +1d8 negative energy to its bite attack and +1d4 negative energy to its slam attacks.
Invisibility (Su)
A sigbin can make itself invisible as per the invisibility spell. Due to its centuries of hunting humans, the sigbin's invisibility is particularly effective against creatures with the humanoid type, increasing the DC of any skill checks made to detect the sigbin by +5. This ability does not negate the sigbin's stench aura.
Shadow Pin (Su)
When the sigbin pounces on a creature's shadow it can attempt a combat maneuver check to grapple the creature without incurring an attack of opportunity. A creature with its shadow grappled by a sigpin gains the pinned condition and cannot move. When using shadow pin against a flat-footed creature, sigbin gain a +4 circumstance bonus to their CMB check. Creatures pinned by shadow pin can escape with a DC 21 Escape Artist check or a successful combat maneuver check against the sigbin's CMD (a standard action).
Shadow Rend (Su)
If the sigbin begins a round with a creature's shadow grappled (pinning the creature with shadow pin), it can take a bite of that shadow that deals 2d6+4 points of damage and 1d4 Constitution damage to the creature. For every point of Constitution damage dealt the sigbin gains 5 temporary hit points. The shadow of a creature affected by shadow rend loses a number of pieces equal to the amount of Constitution damage dealt to the creature; this Constitution damage can only be healed naturally (not by heal, lesser restoration, restoration, or any other magic that heals ability damage). Only corporeal humanoids, animals, and magical beasts that cast shadows can be affected by shadow rend.
Sigbin Sleep Poison (Ex)
Sting—injury; save—Fort DC 21; frequency—1/round for 2 minutes; initial effect—unconsciousness for 1 minute; secondary effect— unconsciousness for 1 hour; cure—2 consecutive saves
Spines (Ex)
Four times per day, a sigbin can whip its tail in an arc that sends a long, thin spine at a single target within 40 feet. The spine deals 1d6 piercing damage plus sigbin sleep poison and regrows after 1d4 rounds.
Environment any
Organization solitary
Treasure standard
Where or how sigbin (also known as zegben or shadow drinkers) originated remains a mystery but there are two prevailing theories.
The less popular belief is that at some time in the past, a creature from the Plane of Shadow bred with a large blood-drinking creature, creating a lineage of these vampiric monsters. More commonly, tales of sigbin tell of a shadow mage purposefully creating the beasts, but didn't count on them breeding true; apparently they did, creating an entirely new population. The truth, as it usually is, is more terrifying.
Under the right circumstances a vampire's shadow, stripped from the undead's mortal form and flung into the universe, takes on a life of its own as a sigbin. No longer linked to a soul, it remembers nothing of its previous life, and the only remnants of its former host that a shadow carries is the vampire's unquenchable thirst for blood. A sigbin spends its life searching for the being that it once belonged to, but is uncertain what would the result would be if this ever came to pass. Otherwise sigbin are predators that seek out the living for their sustenance in a way similar to their vampire parents.
Sigbin are 15 ft. long and weigh about 400 pounds. They have dark gray fur covering their bodies, large bat-like wings, short arms, and long legs that end in curved claws. Their faces resemble that of a demonic, hornless goat, with a mouth full of sharp, redstained teeth. From their back sprouts a long, serpentine tail tipped with a poisonous spike.

The great Messi, Ronaldo debate set to resurface in La Liga
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's battle for individual supremacy will be key for Barcelona and Real Madrid again this season.
It has been a debate that has split football fans the world over for years and the arguments will resurface when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo feature in La Liga's opening weekend.
Players, pundits, supporters and team-mates have all waded in to have their say on who is the world's best player, Barcelona star Messi or Real Madrid hero Ronaldo.
While a definitive answer is unlikely to ever be given on that front, one certainty is that both phenomenal talents will be the driving forces behind Barca and Real's quest for domestic and European glory again this season.
On an individual basis, the pair have won the last seven FIFA Ballons d'Or with Messi's four to Ronaldo's three, although the latter has collected the last two.
Most would consider Messi the favourite to win the award this time around, though, after the Argentina international enjoyed an unbelievable year to help Barca to a Liga, Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League treble.
Messi rebounded from an injury-disrupted 2013-14 campaign in which he scored "only" 28 league goals to be the driving force behind the club's success.
He scored an impressive 58 goals in all competitions, but Messi was undoubtedly helped by the weight of expectation being shared with Luis Suarez and Neymar - the trio scoring 122 times, a record in Spanish football, and their understanding is again key for the Catalans this season.
Messi put an early season falling out with Luis Enrique to one side to score 35 of his goals after the turn of the year, but also showed that there is more to his genius than just his goalscoring prowess.
He provided 18 assists in La Liga as well as creating 95 chances for his team-mates, and there is nothing to suggest that he cannot match, or even better, those statistics this time around.
The task for Ronaldo will be to spearhead a Real side hurting from watching their great rivals steal the limelight last term and reclaiming the Copa and Champions League titles the capital club won in 2014.
The Portugal star has had to face up to a belief in some quarters that his star is on the wane, a claim that looks absurd against a staggering 48 league goals last term.
Ronaldo's critics would suggest that his goal return is a sign of his selfish style of play, but the former Manchester United forward's assists (16) and chances created (75) were statistically his best in the last five seasons - including the last time Real won the title in 2011-12 - going some way to dispelling that myth.
An important factor for Ronaldo, and Real, is his relationship with new head coach Rafael Benitez.
The Spanish press seized upon Ronaldo seemingly reacting angrily to Benitez in training last month, sparking rumours of a rift with the former Liverpool boss.
Outwardly, Benitez laughed off any suggestions of a falling out with his star man, but the vultures are sure to circle if Ronaldo has a dip in form.
Another key component will be the cohesion of Real's front three, and Ronaldo will need Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema to help share the burden this season.
Bale (13) and Benzema (15) scored 28 league goals between them last term, with the former facing fierce criticism from the media and fans alike during an underwhelming second season in Spain.
Injuries to creative sparks Luka Modric and James Rodriguez perhaps goes someway to explaining why the three did not always appear to be on the same page.
But if Real are to challenge Barca, and Ronaldo is to outshine Messi, then striking a balance for the trio is crucial.
Barcelona or Real Madrid will win the league - it would take a brave man to bet against that. Who finishes top could well come down to the victor in the latest chapter of the battle between the finest two players of a generation.

The plants are doing great in the greenhouse. We have tiny tomatoes showing under the blossoms. When the fruits are bigger, I will blog and show some photos of them. But right now, they are still very small. One of our Lemon Basil plants began to bloom. The fennel is getting bigger, which will be a great host for Black Swallowtail Caterpillars in Summer. The Shasta Daisies are flourishing. The peppers are still tiny. Once it gets warmer, they will start to grow bigger, too. I have to be patient with them.
Last Winter, I dumped a Jack-o-Lantern pumpkin in the compost. Now, we have seedlings growing out of it. We will leave them all in there and hope they make it. Probably only the strongest will survive. If we get a pumpkin or two out of it, that would be awesome. And if we not, it will be fun to see how far along the seedlings will grow in that pile. Hey, the tomatoes grow on almost a foot of kitchen compost. Why shouldn't it work for the pumpkins, right?! 😉 The broccoli is done! It blooms and soon will go to seed. I'll collect them for the next season. I'm surprised, how well the Rosemary does in the raised bed. This herb usually likes well drained soil and not much rain.

Big Ron
Brings some southern influence to the sessions. Born in the Mallee in North West Country Victoria and then moved to Bendigo in central Victoria spending most of his life in that area. Spent twelve months in South Australia with work before moving to Sydney where he immediately fell in love with the Sydney harbour and Rocks area.
Ancestors come from Kilkenny in Ireland, which along with the women is the reason I have travelled over there twice and also explains my affinity to the Black stuff (best served in the emerald isle). My favourite beer is VB and I'm also very partial to the odd drop of the grape with my preference being Cab Sauginons.
On my last trip to Kilkenny I purchased my first Bodhran
and am presently being taught by the master Dr Garry Lynch (slow progress
I'm afraid) but I enjoy the Craic and that's what matters. The things
I enjoy most about playing with GreenJam is the friendship I have formed
with the rest of the guys. We get to enjoy the company of all the people
that come to hear us play. A lot of them participate in the session
and in the process we have formed many great friendships
My favourite number is 8 (that's how many beers I
could drink when I started drinking) and my favourite colour is Blue
(still don't know why as that is the colour I was after drinking the
beers). I enjoy watching the true Australian Football game Aussie rules
and follow Geelong "Cats"
I enjoy travelling and meeting new people and obviously music. I work for Caltex Australia Petroleum. I am a qualified masseur (not much help to me as it is impossible to massage yourself properly).
So if you can sing, dance or play an instrument (or even if you can't but enjoy having a good time) come up and introduce yourself. Life is about enjoying yourself so join in and have some fun!!

Even people who love egg salad must admit it's a little…unexciting—but this elegant version adds tarragon and white wine vinegar for a fresh flavor boost, and pairs the chicken eggs with fish eggs for another literal layer of sophistication. Salmon roe adds a lovely translucent red-orange color, plus sweet-salty pops of flavor and a unique textural contrast (a gentle crunch that yields to a burst of melting richness). It's far more affordable than your standard caviar, but that would also work if you prefer it, as would trout roe, whitefish roe, etc. If you use a very shallow bowl and need more roe to cover the surface area, you can add up to 2 additional ounces, but any more will overpower the egg salad.
And if you're not in the mood for actual egg salad, try putting some eggs in your salad, like in our Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad recipe, and our Warm Fava Bean and Chanterelle Salad with Poached Eggs recipe.

This article is a guide about what is CoAP protocol and how to use it in the Internet of things. CoAP is an IoT protocol that has interesting features specifically designed for constrained devices. There are other IoT protocols useful to build IoT solution as MQTT and so on.
CoAP is a simple protocol with low overhead specifically designed for constrained devices (such as microcontrollers) and constrained networks
IoT is nowadays a great reality and one of the most interesting and promising technology trend. IoT is an ecosystem where objects, people, devices are interconnected and exchange data. In this blog, we have covered the IoT from several points of views developing several projects and covering several aspects.
What is CoAP protocol?
As said before CoAP is an IoT protocol. CoAP stands for Constrained Application Protocol and it is defined in RFC 7252. This protocol is used in M2M data exchange and it is very similar to HTTP even if there are important differences that we will cover laters.
The main features of this protocol are:
- Web protocol used in M2M with constrained requirements
- Asynchronous message exchange
- Low overhead and very simple to parse
- URI and content-type support
- Proxy and caching capabilities
As you may notice, some features are very similar to HTTP even if Constrained Application Protocol must not be considered a compressed HTTP protocol because it is specifically designed for IoT and in more details for M2M so it is very optimized for this task.
From the abstraction protocol layer, this protocol can be represented as:
As you can see there are two different layers that make CoAp protocol: CoAP Message and CoAP Request/Response. The Messages layer deals with UDP and with asynchronous messages. The Request/Response layer manages request/response interaction based on request/response messages.
CoAP supports four different message types:
- Confirmable
- Non-confirmable
- Acknowledgment
- Reset
Before going deeper into the CoAp protocol structure is useful to define some terms that we will use later:
Endpoint: An entity that participates in the protocol. Usually, an Endpoint is identified with a host
Sender: The entity that sends a message
Recipient: The destination of a message
Client: The entity that sends a request and the destination of the response
Server: The entity that receives a request from a client and sends back a response to the client
CoAP Message Model
This is the lowest layer of CoAP. This layer deals with UDP exchanging messages between endpoints. Each CoAP message has a unique id, this is useful to detect message duplicates. A CoAP message is built by these parts:
- a binary header
- a compact options
- payload
Later, we will describe the message format in more details.
As said before, the CoAP protocol uses two kinds of messages:
- Confirmable message
- Non-confirmable message
A CoAP confirmable message is a reliable message. When exchanging messages between two endpoints, these messages can be reliable. In the CoAP protocol, a reliable message is obtained using a Confirmable message (CON). Using this kind of message, the client can be sure that the message will arrive at the server. A CoAP Confirmable message is sent again and again until the other party sends an acknowledge message (ACK). The ACK message contains the same ID of the confirmable message (CON).
The picture below shows the CoAP message exchange process:
If the server has troubles managing the incoming request it can send back a Rest message (RST) instead of the Acknowledge message (ACK):
The other message category is the Non-confirmable (NON) messages. These are messages that don't require an Acknowledge by the server. They are unreliable messages or in other words messages that do not contain critical information that must be delivered to the server. To this category belongs messages that contain values read from sensors.
Even if these messages are unreliable, they have a unique ID.
Request/Response Model
The CoAP Request/Response is the second layer in the abstraction layer. The request is sent using a Confirmable (CON) or Non-Confirmable (NON) message. There are several scenarios depending on if the server can answer immediately to the client request or the answer if not available:
- If the server can answer immediately to the client request then if the request is carried using a Confirmable message (CON) then the server sends back to the client an Acknowledge message containing the response or the error code:
As you can notice in the CoAP message there is a Token. The Token is different from the Message ID and it is used to match the request and the response.
- If the server can't answer to the request coming from the client immediately, then it sends an Acknowledge message with an empty response. As soon as the response is available then the server sends a new Confirmable message to the client containing the response. At this point the client sends back an Acknowledge message:
- If the request coming from the client is carried using a NON-confirmable message then the server answer using a NON-confirmable message.
CoAp Message Format
This paragraph covers the CoAP Message format. By now we have discussed different kinds of messages exchanged between the client and the server, now it is time to analyze the CoAP message format. The constrained application protocol is meat for constrained environments and for this reason, it uses compact messages. To avoid fragmentation, a CoAP message occupies the data section of a UDP datagram. A message is made by several parts:
Ver: It is a 2 bit unsigned integer indicating the version
T: it is a 2 bit unsigned integer indicating the message type: 0 confirmable, 1 non-confirmable
TKL: Token Length is the token 4 bit length
Code: It is the code response (8 bit length)
Message ID: It is the message ID expressed with 16 bit
and so on.
More useful resources:
CoAP security aspects
One important aspect when dealing with IoT protocols is the security aspects. As stated before, this protocol uses UDP to transport information. It relies on UDP security aspects to protect the information. As HTTP uses TLS over TCP, CoAP protocol uses Datagram TLS over UDP. DTLS supports RSA, AES and so on. Anyway, we should consider that in some constrained devices some of DTLS cipher suits may not be available. It is important to notice that some cipher suites introduces some complexity and constrained devices may not have resources enough to manage it.
CoAP vs MQTT
An important aspect to cover is the main differences between CoAP protocol and MQTT. As you may know, MQTT is another protocol widely used in IoT. There are several differences between these two protocols. The first aspect to notice is the different paradigm used. MQTT uses a publisher-subscriber while CoAP uses a request-response paradigm. MQTT uses a central broker to dispatch messages coming from the publisher to the clients. CoAP is essentially a one-to-one protocol very similar to the HTTP protocol. Moreover, MQT is event-oriented protocol while CoAP is more suitable for state transfer.

Box Office: 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' takes $104.8-M on Day 1
'The Last Jedi' is just the 2nd film in history to earn $100-M or more on Day 1.
Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi is headed for $215-M+ North American launch after delivering $104.8-M Friday its opening day.So far, Last Jedi is trailing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which nabbed $119-M on its 1st Friday for a record domestic launch of $247.9-M on the same weekend in Y 2015. No other film besides these 2 have ever crossed $100-M in 1 day.
And Force Awakens, bestowed with an A CinemaScore by audiences, is 1 of just 3 films to open to $200-M or more domestically.
Last Jedi earned $45-M in Thursday-night previews, and Last Jedi's Imax (NYSE:IMAX) previews generated an estimated $5.3-M.
Globally, the franchise's 8th installment is projected to gross $425-M+ through Sunday to secure 1 of the 5 best worldwide openings of all time, not accounting for inflation.
Last Jedi began its international rollout Wednesday in 14 Key markets, followed by an additional 34 material markets Thursday.
It opened at the Top of each international market, bringing its 2-day international total to an estimated $60.8-B and its global total to $105.8-M.
The Force returns to theaters just as Disney announced its $52.4-B bid to buy major 21st Century Fox assets, including the film studio, home of George Lucas' first six Star Wars movies prior to selling Lucasfilm to Disney.
The only film daring to open opposite The Last Jedi is Ferdinand, an animated family offering from Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA), and Blue Sky Studios that hopes to win over younger tots and their parents throughout the holidays. The movie earned $3.6-M Friday from 3,621 theaters for weak domestic box office debut in the $12 -13-M range.
Ferdinand is loosely based on the classic children's book about a peace-loving Spanish bull who would rather while away the hours smelling flowers and daydreaming than taking to the ring to fight. Ferdinand nabbed Golden Globes nominations for best animated feature and animated score.
Have some fun, see a movie this weekend.

What is grace-filled awakening? Into what state does it put the sinner? And how does this state differ from other similar states?
It is necessary to know the characteristic traits of awakening in order not to let it go by fruitlessly, and so that you might not accept some natural state in its place.
The state of the soul awakened by grace can be discerned by comparing it to the opposite state of a soul lost in the sleep of sin.
Sin separates man from God. A person who has left God for sin does not perceive his dependence on God, lives as he pleases, as though he is not God's and God is not his. He is like a self-willed slave who is running from his master.
Now his barrier is broken. The feeling of dependence on God returns. The person clearly realizes his total subservience to God and his absolute responsibility to Him.
Before, heaven for him was just a heavy, copper lid stretched over his head; but now some rays of light pass through this dark veil, showing him God the Master and Judge.
Within him is powerfully awakened the perception of the Divinity in all His perfection, and the Divinity irresistibly inhabits the soul, filling it entirely.
This is the foundation and potentiality for the future spiritual life. Sin first enveloped man in blindness, insensitivity and indolence.
At the moment of grace's influence, this three-layered, crystallized millstone falls from his fettered soul. The person now sees well all his ugliness within, and not only sees it, but also feels it.
He also realizes the danger of his condition, begins to be ashamed of himself and takes care for his fate. Not only does shame fall into the soul, but with the feeling of responsibility for himself before God, fear, agony, and disappointment begin to powerfully attack his heart.
His conscience gnaws at him. Now he feels a certain sweetness in godly life. Sensing all the futility of a sinful life and nursing a revulsion for it as for a sea of evil, he also has a presentiment that joy and consolation are hidden in the realm of goodness, which is now being revealed to his spiritual eye.
It comes into his view like the promised land, as a most blessed haven from all disquiet. This presentiment in a sinful soul is ultimately a manifestation that man himself cannot produce. It is God's blessing and is subject to His authority.
Thinking about it is not the same as feeling it. God Himself leads man's spirit into His treasure-house and allows man to taste its blessings.

We will be spending Christmas w/ the in laws in fl for the first time this year. and our big family gift is a 3 day bahamas cruise that they decided to go on as well lol So in total I'll be spending 17 days w/ my mil who is not too crazy about me to say the least.The last time we were there was before I got pregnant & was at my smallest( size 6) & our little guy just turned 4. Also I've been having ALOT of pain in my R shoulder from calcific tendinitis since my last appointment w/ the
I was originally scheduled to have my surgery on December 9th but because I have to get an echocardiogram done next month before I can get medical clearance, I was informed that my surgery is now scheduled for February 12th next year. I guess I feel both disappointed and relieved. Disappointed because I was looking forward to having the surgery sooner than later and relieved because I've been so anxious about having the surgery that I was driving myself a little crazy. Now I have more time to prepare
I've been on this site for over 8 years and always used it for great information, motivation, fun and making new "virtual" friends. However lately I noticed that many people haven't posted and fortunately, some of the veterans have stayed around which is great I'm wondering why the drop-off of folks and whether or not they'll be back. I'm the first one to recognize that life is busy but it seems many of us took a little time to pose our questions, answer some of the newbies and come
Hello my friends!
So the big news of the day, I met the expert (doc for work) this morning, the visit was just a pure waste of time (the guy was plain stupid, I'm so fed up with doctors!) but at least he did agree with my PCP and surgeons: I'm able to go back to work!
I've been asking my HR to get an appointment since August, but the last expert just retired (he was actually really nice, too bad for us) and they had to find a new expert, and since I have several

You might have been watching this new fantasy anime series about two orphans aspired to become the Wizard Kings. It looks promising. Indeed, Black Clover managed to gather the target audience among the viewers of the fantasy genre. An OVA developed by Xebec premiered yet in May, while the official release took place in October. However, it's worth noting that the viewers were able to preview this OVA at the 2016 Jump Festa. The anime series has just started off airing.
Nonetheless, many viewers are wondering regarding the possible 2nd season of Black Clover. Unlike the regular US and UK shows, it's very a rare phenomenon in the world of anime when the show's creators announce the next round right after the series start. However, sometimes, an anime consists of two cours. In that case, the studio may split one big season (which usually includes of twenty-six episodes) into two parts. Due to such misunderstanding, the viewers typically take this 2nd chapter for a sophomore season.
The first season of Black Clover, however, contains just thirteen episodes. As a rule, it could mean that we would have to wait at least one year before the announcement of a next season. But there is no reason for panic in the case of Black Clover since the original manga contains thirteen volumes and 120 chapters. We doubt that the series' creators are going to use all the possible sections in their television adaptation. Therefore, Black Clover would likely be a long-term franchise. Of course, we can't be sure of this fact, but it would be wholly ill-conceived decision of adapting all 120 chapters in just one television season. Hence, we almost sure that there would be a second season of the series. However, let's take a look at other indicators, to be more precise in our forecast.
As you know, one of the most significant indicators capable of affecting the further decision on renewal is a reception by the target audience. As appears, this figure is quite high. On MyAnimeList, the anime holds a score of 7.15/10 > 7,200 votes. The verdict by IGN seems to be favorable as well. They have rated Black Clover at 4 points of out 5. But on Crunchyroll, the rating of the series has been only 3.1/5. Nonetheless, in general, a response of the audience regarding Black Clover was positive. Since the viewers have appreciated the new show as well as there is enough source material to produce one more season, we conclude that Black Clover has a good chance for Season 2.
The anime started off on October 3, 2017, on TV Tokyo. Pierrot Co., Ltd. served as a creator of the series. FUNimation has acquired rights to the anime in North America. Black Clover is available for online video streaming through Crunchyroll. The first season of the series consists of thirteen episodes.
What Is Black Clover About?The story focuses on two orphans, Asta and Yuno. They both grew up in the suburb of the Clover Kingdom. In this land, everyone possesses magical skills since childhood. However, Asta is unlucky since he has no supernatural abilities. But this flaw has served a reason for Asta to develop his physical capabilities. Yuno, in turn, is a gifted guy who is capable of controlling his unique magical skills.
When both have become teenagers, they aspired to turn into Magic Knights thanks to the power of Grimoires. While Yuno received an exciting magic book with a four-leaf clover, Asta does not win one. However, when Asta has been trying to protect Yuno against a thief, he summoned his Grimoire. It turns out that his Grimoire contains a five-leaf clover, known as a "Black Clover," which produces Anti-Magic. As a result, two friends went on a journey, pursuing the same goal.

Cathay Pacific A330-300
Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific saw its net profit drop to HK$353 million ($45 million) for the six months through June 30, compared to a profit of just under HK$2 billion in the same period last year. Passenger revenue was down 7.8% to HK$33.4 billion in the half-year. One of the main factors was the removal of fuel surcharges in the Hong Kong market in February. Higher competition, weaker currencies in some markets, and soft premium demand on long-haul routes also contributed to ...

History of CTC
Cameron Toll Chaplaincy – the beginnings!
The Cameron Toll Shopping Centre was opened in the 1980s, and sparked the idea in the minds of local church leaders of having a chaplain available for the staff of the Centre and the retail units within it.
Newington Churches Together (NCT) and South East Edinburgh Churches Acting Together (SEECAT) researched retail chaplaincies elsewhere, then negotiated with the management of the Centre and through them the Tenants' Association, who agreed to go ahead. The chaplains' posts are voluntary, with out-of-pocket expenses being refunded. In March 2002 two part-time lay chaplains took up their posts in Cameron Toll. Clare Roller and Tammy MacNiven were the trailblazers.for this new initiative. They, and subsequent chaplains, have provided a visible Christian presence in Cameron Toll.
In 2014 NCT and SEECAT, agreed that responsibility for recruitment, training and mentoring the chaplains should be transferred to Workplace Chaplaincy Scotland (WPCS). The Steering Group continue remains closely involved with the chaplains' work at Cameron Toll, and reports regularly to NCT and SEECAT, which supports their work financially and with prayer.

The Holy See has ordered the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to delay voting on proposals that would lay the groundwork for a response to the sexual abuse crisis within the Church.
The news came from Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the USCCB, at the beginning of their fall general assembly meeting in Baltimore from November 12th to the 14th. Cardinal DiNardo said that the order to delay the vote came directly from the Holy See just a day before the opening of their meeting on Sunday afternoon.
"At the insistence of the Holy See, we will not be voting on the two action items in our docket regarding the abuse crisis." – Cardinal DiNardo
According to Cardinal DiNardo, the Holy See insisted the vote on the new proposals be delayed until the conclusion of the unprecedented meeting of bishops in February called by Pope Francis concerning the "protection of minors" to address the abuse crisis.
The proposals they planned to vote on contained drafts for a "Standards of Conduct," along with the creation of a special investigative commission to handle abuse accusations against bishops. DiNardo said he was "disappointed," but is still hopeful the meeting will prove fruitful.
In response to the decision by the Holy See to the delay the vote on measures to address the abuse crisis, Cardinal Blase Cupich of the Archdiocese of Chicago, also in attendance, said that "it is clear the Holy See is taking the abuse crisis seriously." He proposed the next meeting of the USCCB be moved to after the conclusion of the special meeting so they can act as soon as possible – "[this] is something we cannot delay — there is an urgency here."

I was remembering about this time several years back when my Dad passed away. It was a sad time for the family but now, I think about all the good times I had with my Dad. He liked to bowl and always had a great time at the bowling alley. That's how I got interested in it and joined a league when I got older. He loved to go to supermarkets to get great deals on food. He was a coupon master. Sometimes the store owed him money. When there was a good deal, he used to get the limit and go back again but with a different cashier. I don't shop that way, but it was interesting to see him do that. He worked a lot but we always looked forward to days he was off. I cherished those days and moments. He didn't see me get married and never met my beautiful wife. I know that families get into arguments, but if your parents or grandparents are still alive, you have to put aside those differences and cherish those moments you have with them. Take time to visit them and talk to them. See how things are going with them. Take care of things for them. You will definitely appreciate the moments you had with them.
With our Father God, I do cherish all the moments I have with Him as well. Prayer is such a powerful thing. It connects us with God and binds our relationship with Him. I pray at the start of the day and end of the day. It helps me remember that God is in control and Jesus saved my life. I am so grateful for all the prayer moments I have. Attending church is another moment I cherish in my life. The music is wonderful. Listening to sermons just helps strengthen my walk with Christ. I cannot take it for granted. There are many places in the world that don't have the good news and it is a shame. Fellowship group meetings are most appreciated. Getting together with other followers discussing things that help me build my Christian life is a wonderful thing. I look forward and cherish all the fellowship groups I've attended.
Some people say that human life is short. It is true. Sometimes we run around so much doing things in this life that we miss those precious moments with our Father God. Always look for them. It is sometimes very easy to miss. Always cherish those moments we have with the people in our lives. Families, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ are so important in our lives. I believe it makes life worth living.
In Christ,
