In order to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit (FPDP) a determination of the impact from the project to the floodplain must be made. SEMSWA issues FPDPs within the City of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County. FPDPs are required for all activities in the floodplain. Section 5.6.1 of The City of Centennial Stormwater Management manual states "A Floodplain Development Permit is required for any development proposed in the Floodplain." FEMA defines development as "any man-made change to improved or un-improved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations, or storage of equipment and materials." The Floodplain Development Permit is required prior to issuance of a building permit, issuance of a street cut or right-of-way use permit, issuance of a GESC permit, issuance of a public improvements permit, and any other development, use or change of the use of land located in the Floodplain. The Floodplain Development Permit is required in addition to other permits or review processes, which may be associated with the underlying zone district. All activities, regardless of impact, need to be permitted. Even when it is apparent that there are no adverse impacts to the floodplain, a permit is required for administrative purposes to ensure that SEMSWA is aware of the activities within the floodplain and that they have been evaluated for compliance with the City's requirements. For more information on Floodplain Development Permits, see Section 5.6 of SEMSWA Stormwater Management Manual and Section 5.6 of the Arapahoe County Stormwater Management Manual.
SEMSWA's Floodplain Program issues Floodplain Development Permits for projects in and around the 100-year floodplain.
In an effort to make the floodplain permitting process more efficient and accommodating to consultants for certain routine projects that cause no impacts to the floodplain within the City of Centennial, the SEMSWA Floodplain Department has created two Annual Floodplain Development Permits. These new Annual Floodplain Development Permits are being offered to Utility Companies as well as to the Parks and Recreation Districts and are ONLY for projects located within the City of Centennial. For more information (including application) on Annual Floodplain Development Permits, please visit our Annual Permits page.

Cosmos DB is a globally distributed database that offers single-digit-millisecond latencies on multiple models. That's a lot of power under the hood. As you may be tempted to use as much of it as possible, you have to remember that you are billed for what you use.
Cosmos DB they measure your actual usage of the service on Request Units (RU).
What are Cosmos DB Request Units (RU)?
Request units are a normalized number that represents the amount of computing power (read: CPU) required to serve the request. Inserting new documents? Inexpensive. Making a query that sums up a field based on an unindexed field? Ccostly.
By going to the Cosmos DB Capacity Planner tool, we can test from a JSON sample document how many RUs are required based on your estimated usage. By uploading a simple document and setting all input values to 1 (create, read, update, delete) we can see which operations are relatively more expensive than others.
Create RUs: 5.71 Read RUs: 1.00 Update RUs: 10.67 Delete RUs: 5.71
Those are the number at the time of writing this blog post and may change in the future. Read is for a single document. Queries work differently.
Tracking Request Unit (RU) usage
Most operation with the
DocumentClient (SQL API) will return you a model that will allow you to see how much RU we use. Here are the four basic operations and how easy it is to retrieve their respective Request Unit.
To retrieve the amount of Request Unit used for creating a document, we can retrieve it like this.
var collectionUri = UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(database.Id, documentCollection.Id);
We can also retrieve it while updating a document.
var document = new { id = "1", name = "Paul"};
Finally, figuring out the amount of RU used for deleting a document can be done like so.
var result = await client.DeleteDocumentAsync(UriFactory.CreateDocumentUri(database.Id, documentCollection.Id, "1"));
This is quite easy. Right? Let's go onto Queries.
Calculating the Request Unit (RU) of Cosmos DB Queries
That's where things get a little more complicated. Let's build a query that returns the top 5 documents and retrieve the results. The default API usage makes it very easy for us to retrieve a list of elements but not the Request Units.
var documentQuery = client.CreateDocumentQuery(collectionUri).Take(5);
Here's why it's difficult to retrieve the RU in this scenario. If I do a
ToList, it will return a generic list (
List<T>) on which I can't append more properties. So, we lose the Request Units while retrieving the documents.
Let's fix this by rewriting this query.
var documentQuery = client.CreateDocumentQuery(collectionUri).Take(5).AsDocumentQuery();
If all you wanted was the code, what's above will do the trick for you. If you want to understand what happens, stick around.
The explanation
Cosmos DB will never return 1 million rows to you in one response. It will page it. It's why we see a pattern similar to an
The first thing we do is move the query from an IQueryable to an
IDocumentQuery. Using this method enables us to access the
ExecuteNextAsync method and the
HasMoreResults property. With just those two, we can now get a separate
FeedResponse<T> for each page of our query. It's now obvious that if you try to extract all the data from a collection, you are using RUs for each page of result.
Next Steps
Want to give it a try? Never tried Cosmos DB before?
You can get 7 day of free, no credit card, no subscription access, and no questions asked.
Then, once you have a free database, try one of the 5 minutes quickstart in the language that you want.

Greetings, stargazers.
Our brains fool us into thinking things near the horizon are bigger than they really are. And the power of suggestion works wonders in getting a crowd to agree that something looks extra big, even if you otherwise wouldn't notice the difference.
These two things helped the most recent lunar eclipse, the fourth one in two years, be it a bit more fun to watch than the other three. Also, the early evening timing helped considerably, since it didn't require going outside at 2 a.m.
By the way, the terms "super moon" and "blood moon" are from modern popular culture and the media, and they have no astronomical background or significance. Yes, the moon in this eclipse was marginally larger and darker than a typical lunar eclipse, but most of us would be hard-pressed to tell the difference without instruments or some sort of observing aid.
You don't have to wait until 2033 (advertised as the next "super blood moon") to see another lunar eclipse. The next one will be in January 2018, but since that one will be at dawn instead of dusk, far fewer people will get to see it.
This month
Just after dark, the Summer Triangle and the Milky Way will be to the west of your meridian, but still high in the sky. The Summer Triangle is an asterism, or pattern of stars, that is made of the three bright stars: Vega, Deneb and Altair. These three are respectively in the constellations Lyra, Cygnus and Aquila.
Near zenith is the constellation Cygnus the Swan, also called the Northern Cross. The bright star Deneb is the tail of the swan, or the head of the cross. At the other end (the head of the swan, or the foot of the cross) is the star Alberio, a visually striking double star. Alberio is near the center of the Summer Triangle. The two stars in this double appear orange and blue in even low power telescopes, so this is often a favorite target at star parties.
Both Mercury and Venus will reach their westernmost elongations this month. That means they will be at their greatest angular separations from the sun in the morning before sunrise. Mercury will be just over 18 degrees from the sun Oct. 16. Venus will be a little over 45 degrees Oct. 26, which happens to be the same day it will be within 1 degree of Jupiter. As a bonus, those two very bright planets will have a much dimmer Mars a little over 3 degrees away.
Whenever Venus is such a bright morning object, like right now, it is fairly easy to spot at midday. You just have to know where to look. If you start watching Venus right after dawn, it is easy to keep track of while the day gets brighter and brighter. Your friends will be impressed if you can go outside at noon and point out something in the sky other than the sun or the moon.
Last month, I mentioned comet C/2013 US10 Catalina as an upcoming target. Nobody knows how bright it will get, but the best days for viewing will be after it gets around the sun and shows up in the early morning sky in early December.
The last Durango Nature Studies dark sky event of the season will be Saturday. Overall, it was a pretty good season for star parties, and we can only hope next year will be as good.

Most familiars are still something akin to normal animals, conduits for power rather than powers themselves. The parasite is one of the more disturbing exceptions.
Infest (Su)
As a full-round action, a parasite can infest a willing or helpless target at least two size categories larger than the parasite. This deals 1d6 points of Constitution damage as the parasite burrows through viscera before attaching itself to the target's brain or spinal cord (or equivalent). There, the parasite curls up, with no ability to see or hear anything itself, but with access to its host's senses.
Despite the gaping wound, this process is curiously painless. Assuming that the location of the wound and the resultant blood is not obvious (most parasites infest from the back for this reason), the victim must succeed at a Heal or Sense Motive check opposed by the familiar's Bluff check to notice that something is amiss.
Removing a parasite requires a successful Heal check opposed by the familiar's Stealth check, or a successful casting of break enchantment against a DC of 11 + the parasite's level. If successful, the parasite is destroyed. The parasite can leave the host willingly as a full-round action.
If the host is killed, the parasite must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or be killed as well.
This replaces improved evasion and share spells.
Puppeteer (Sp)
Beginning at 3rd level, the parasite can attempt to control its host once per day. This functions as suggestion. At 7th level, the parasite can use this ability to replicate dominate person instead. At 15th level, the parasite can replicate dominate monster. The DC for this ability is calculated as if the parasite's master had cast the spell (defaulting to Charisma if the owner has no spellcasting ability).
This replaces deliver touch spells, speak with animals of its kind, spell resistance, and scry on familiar.

Juice Cleanse Evil Queen Candle
Regular price
It's an Evil Queen blast from the past! This Evil Queen original (from 2016!) has been discontinued for two years. Well guess what, she back, and badder than ever.
Naturally fresh leafy greens showered with sweet orange flowers for an explosive aroma. Exotic mint joins a fresh combination of juicy pineapple and strawberry to create a soothing tonic to purify and balance the senses.
- 12 oz jar full of 100% soy wax from American grown soy beans
- Burn time of 50+ hours when burned properly
- Vegan. Phthalate free. Cotton wicks. No bullshit.
Evil Queen candles are pretty cool because:
- They're made with 100% soy wax and fragrances free of harmful chemicals
- They're handmade and poured in Ida's small shop in Los Angeles, California
- They're vegan, eco-friendly, and will make you laugh
The Founder of Evil Queen, Ida, grew up in a family that's very health conscious, so she had to make sure her candles were too. The wax used in the candles is soy wax from American grown soy beans. It's 100% vegan, clean burning, and environmentally friendly. You don't have to worry about any toxins getting all up in your house when you burn one of these candles. Ida also hand picks the fragrances and blends them to create her own unique scents. The candles should also burn for 50+ hours if you follow the instructions (we're looking at you, rule breakers). And, Evil Queen uses 100% cotton wicks.

Last week, we received a hearty meal for 2 persons from Wok N Go who has recently opened its doors in Alhamra Tower. It's a Chinese/Asian cuisine that has a variety of dishes. We got to try more than 10 dishes and all of them were good. I loved the salads, the soups and the noodles. The rest were good and one dish (Chicken Sesame) was regular, I've eaten it before so nothing special about it. But you have to try their soups and salads, amazing. The dressings that came with the salads/starters were also very good.
Now, I want to try it in Alhamra tower, this was at home, wanna feel the experience at their place. Thank you guys for the lovely meal 🙂

In more news we thought we'd never hear: Rachel Zoe has cancelled her upcoming New York Fashion Week show. For anyone who watched The Rachel Zoe Project, you know she is a HUGE workaholic. Like, put off motherhood until she was 40 years old workaholic. With the fashion industry judging her every move as a stylist-turned-designer, we can't believe Rach called off her Fall 2014 show next week. The designer explains her move in a statement to WWD:
While I look forward to New York Fashion Week each season, I've made the difficult decision to move our fall 2014 runway show from Feb. 13 in New York to a later date in Los Angeles. As a new mother, my newborn son is too young to travel with me, and I'm unable to leave him for the amount of time required to appropriately prepare for the show in New York.
Rodger must be thrilled that Rachel is finally putting on the brakes to spend time with family! Who can blame her when she has a one-month-old newborn?! Luckily, we're still getting new Rachel Zoe designs. Her market week in New York is still a go and she will be back on the Fashion Week calendar this September…unless baby number three is on the way! You know she's "dying" for a girl.

Car-free cities are becoming a reality in Europe and China. Could the concept work in Australia?
For a variety of reasons, several European cities have moved to restrict the use of cars. Oslo, Norway, plans to restrict cars from the downtown area by 2019. Officials hope that will help to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent compared with 1990 levels.
Madrid, Spain, has encouraged pedestrians and bicyclists by banning auto usage on more than two dozen streets since 2015, though residents are still allowed to drive on some streets. The city has plans to expand the no-car boundaries substantially.
Paris, France, recently made a huge leap by announcing a ban on cars built before 1997 from entering the city between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays. In 2020, the ban expands to prohibit pre-1997 cars at all times, while the 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekday ban expands to include all cars built before 2010. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the city's dismal air quality demanded this action. Paris has restricted cars temporarily in the past, which achieved significant reductions in air pollution. Restricting diesel vehicles was especially effective and rapid.
China is justly notable for both horrid air pollution and building entire cities at astonishing speed. Now, a satellite city located near Chengdu is under way with a design that lets pedestrians walk anywhere in the city within about 15 minutes, decreasing the need for a car and reducing the associated congestion and pollution. This dense urban design is also flanked by green space, which planners hope will maintain healthy air quality.
High transit ridership makes car-free cities an easier sell to the general public, no doubt. Currently, about 63 per cent of Australians commute by car to work, 10 per cent take transit, and five per cent walk or bike. Would Australians accept the reality of car-free cities, or car-free areas within cities? Perhaps they would if the necessary infrastructure were built, though it's clear that some officials do not believe this would be the case.
Last fall, Melbourne City Councillor Richard Foster proposed a one-day auto ban in Melbourne's CBD on a Sunday or during a major city event such as Moomba or White Night. Both Lord Mayor Robert Doyle and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews slammed the idea, with Doyle calling it "a completely and utterly unworkable idea." Melbourne does have some car-free areas already, such as the Bourke Street Mall and a few city laneways.
With infrastructure improvements such as light rail, bus rapid transit, protected bike lanes, and well-designed footpaths, car usage can be cut markedly while maintaining the ability of people to get around. In fact, a combination of these tactics is essential to deal with population growth and increasing congestion.
Sydney offers some positive examples. The city's plans for the CBD, announced in 2012, aim to make light rail travel quicker and easier than driving a car while also reducing the number of buses needed. Part of the scheme is the pedestrian focus on George Street, which is closed to cars between Hunter and Bathurst streets. The city also stepped up with its Walking Strategy and Action Plan, which aims to increase on-foot commuter trips, reduce auto-pedestrian collisions by 50 per cent, and improve amenities such as footpaths.
Currently, about 63 per cent of trips to Sydney's CBD are done with transit, about 25 per cent by car, and 10 per cent on foot. The NSW government predicts that bus and car vehicle miles travelled will decrease as people switch to light rail. In addition, the light rail line will cut CO2 emissions by 700,000 tonnes over 30 years.
Limiting automobile usage also has strong potential for reducing pedestrian and cyclist deaths and injuries. The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development tallied 204 pedestrian deaths and 33 cyclist deaths in 2015.
Besides a reduction in pollution and fatalities, there could be economic benefits too. According to one study in Melbourne of how drivers spend money compared to cyclists, the cyclists come out far ahead, outspending their motorist peers by more than $10 per hour ($27 to $16.20.)
Furthermore, because cars take up far more space – six bikes can fit in one parking space designed for a car – that number is even greater.

First, backup your data before you do anything so that you can get back to where you are now.
If you have been keeping your install up to date, then you may be surprised to know that there is nothing at all to do. If not, then it may be a rather large update and it may be better to do it from a console outside of an X-desktop. From the destop, press "Ctrl + Alt + F1" to get to a console. When finished, press "Ctrl + Alt + F7" to return to the desktop screen.
I would make sure that your /etc/apt/sources.list file points to the correct repository address at deb.devuan.org, and then do an
apt update
apt-get update
apt dist-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
If everything works, and it probably will, you are good to go. However, there may be some changes to a configuration file of a package between the beta. rc, and release versions. This could cause a problem.
If you do have a problem, you could try to either uninstall the offending program ("apt remove <program> --purge") and then reinstall. This could be tricky depending on dependencies, so use caution. Another possible option would be to use "dpkg-reconfigure <program>" instead of --purge. These two methods will rebuild the configuration file of a program.
If something breaks and it becomes unusable, then reinstall. It is not that big of a deal, especially if you have your system (/home folder) backed up. Refracta-tools is your friend here, along with rsync. Again, backup your data before changing anything, especially if it will be a large update.
I have a feeling that you have been keeping your system up to date and then there is probably nothing that you need to do. But I would make sure that the correct url address is present in the sources.list file and change this if needed.

Also run the dist-upgrade with --simulate first (this tell you what it will do but does not do anything).

Another way this hurts Americans is that the tariffs will increase tire prices. Most of the Chinese tires are cheap low end products. American manufacturers such as and import them to the United States. The tariffs on Chinese tires will inevitably increase prices for American consumers who buy the lower end tires. Additionally, if manufacturers had to increase the price of their low end products they would probably increase the price of their premium products to make their products seem more "premium", and that means more expensive tires for everyone.Americans are also very price conscious right now, and the higher prices might mean lower sales, and ultimately that might hurt the American tire industry and decrease jobs in that sector anyway. In that case this protectionist measure would have accomplished the exact opposite of its purpose.
So who really benefits from this? I think the trade lawyers should be happy because Obama pretty much open the doors for more similar complaints from every other industry. In Bush 43′s administration four similar industry complaints were rejected because Bush wanted to keep trade free. Now Obama is sending a signal out there that he is willing to approve protectionist measures for small groups that he favors so more groups may be hiring up lawyers to file complaints because now they have a bigger chance of getting their petitions approved. Although , whoever files them will be getting a fee. So in the end, I think the lawyers win.
Ultimately, I highly doubt that this tariff on 0.4% of China's exports to the United States is going to turn into an all out trade war, but it is certainly making Obama less popular to everyone except the specific unions that he is agreeing to. Decisions like this affect a lot more than just the people making the complaints, and it is probably wiser to reject them all like Bush did. That way at least it looks like there are no favorites.

First of all, I am glad that this is happening because I am just sick of all the efforts to push down mortgage rates when there is no good reason to push it down. Higher mortgage rates will encourage people to borrow less money, and push down housing prices. That is not a bad thing on both counts. People will buy houses when it is affordable and reasonable. Many people are buying right now because housing prices have come down dramatically, and not because of the historically low mortgage rate. New homebuyers may not be able to lock down mortgages under 5% any longer, but the dip in prices to come may just make up the difference. The only negative is for those who are waiting to refinance, because those below 5% rates are now gone.
Higher yields on treasuries may also make those in charge of the U.S. government think a little bit before they issue more debt. They need to know that they cannot make every bond buyer pay extremely low rates and this endless borrowing needs to be controlled. If the U.S. government spent and borrowed less, then our taxes may be lower. However, these higher yields will just mean that Americans will be paying more in interest for years to come with their tax revenues. This is unfortunate, but bond buyers are investors who should not have to accept rates that do not match the risk of the investment. For what it is worth, I think right now the yield on 10 and 30 year treasuries is still fairly low so the U.S. is still getting a fairly good deal.
Some other effects I am hopeful about is that perhaps short term rates will follow on the upward trend and savings rates will go up accordingly. The worst scenario is that inflation is going up AND savings yields are still abysmal, and in a way that is sort of happening now. Inflation isn't tremendous this year, but I am noticing some small increases in gas and food prices. Additionally, wage growth is fairly small all over the board due to the recession.
Anyway, the that its holdings are safe by pledging that the U.S. will try to reduce its budget deficit and eliminate the market manipulations by the government. I personally think that China's worries are justified because actions speak louder than words. If the U.S. is really trying to reduce its budget deficit then it shouldn't pledge more and more borrowing and spending. The fact that Geithner had to make such a trip to reassure Chinese leaders shows that the U.S. government is feeling insecure about its debt situation and that does not inspire confidence in the bond market. China really has no obligation to buy trillions of U.S. treasuries and China is free to invest its reserves however it wants. If China's reluctance to lend encourages the US to cut its borrowing and spending then it is a good thing for United State citizens in the long run.
In conclusion, the stock markets are showing signs of recovery, so this will probably push bond yields higher since there will probably be less demand for bonds. This is good news for everyone who has money in the stock market. It is reasonable that bond yields are going up, and it is nice to see some market forces push back against the heavy hand of government intervention.

One thing that stuck out to me is that the reporter pointed out in Williams' lab, "only 18 of the 75 scientists were born in the United States, and 10 of those American-born researchers are over 50 years old; only six are under the age of 35." My experience in the Valley is that many people who work in high tech are foreign nationals and most of these people are either Chinese or Indian. So where are all the Americans? I think the problem is really quite complex and is a mixture of culture and the basic fact of population. First of all, the popular American culture is not nearly as obsessed with higher education as Asian countries like China, India, and Japan. In China you are pretty much expected to get at least a Master's degree and it doesn't surprise me that China invests a lot in its education system. In America kids are mostly taught that they could be anything they want, and that is a good thing. However, most kids just want to be popular and accepted, and being a science geek will not win any social points. This is not to say that Americans do not value education, but a major problem is that higher education can be prohibitively expensive in this country. Even public schools cost tens of thousands of dollars a year and I am sure a lot of capable students are just priced out. Recently there was a report and only California got a passing grade of C- for its large system of cheap community colleges. Finally, the irrefutable fact is that the total population of Chinese and Indians in the world is about seven times the population of Americans so there is a much larger talent pool to choose from. When you couple that with the fact that most Chinese and Indians are it is really no surprise that there are less American scientists.
The good news for America is that there are still plenty of foreign nationals who are willing to live in this country and contribute to its economy. I am one of them, but I'm not sure how long America will stay as attractive as a golden mountain of opportunity and freedom. A lot of graduate students my age that come from China these days are going back to China after they graduate because they believe that China has more opportunities than America. As noted, Williams saw that in China a 28 year old recent graduate was able to get a $5 million research grant from the government for her research, but here in America a professor would have a hard time raising $50,000. Additionally, a major issue preventing foreign talent from staying is the draconian and frankly bizarre immigration system in America. It takes years for a foreign national to win legal rights to stay in this country, and while they wait they are often treated like criminals or indentured servants. For many brilliant young scientists, this crazy immigration system is really not worth the trouble. They can go back to their own countries and have all the rights of a citizen and make a difference for their people, so why should they go through the gauntlet here? This loss of foreign talent is an incredible waste for America because many of these students get fellowships and are trained by American companies and schools, but end up bringing all the things they learned back to their own countries. If the immigration system were easier on talent then I am sure more people will consider staying.
So will Silicon Valley become Detroit? I highly doubt that will happen in this generation because this area is still buzzing with innovation and there are also many immigrants here who have made America their home and they will continue to contribute. I know that there are people who hate us for having these high tech jobs here, but we would not have these jobs if there were enough qualified Americans. I do believe that America has to get serious about education and training in science to stay competitive in the world, and it has to start as soon as possible. I think the to upgrade schools around the country is a good start, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money that went to failed companies recently. Will the American government ever learn to truly invest in the future long term?
P.S. Happy everyone!

First of all, the stock market in China plunged more than 70% from its highs. The central government called this a correction, but the people I talked are pretty aware that it's more than that. However, the percentage of people in China with skin in the stock market is very small. Most people put their money in the four large government capitalized banks and collect interest and many people still have traditional pensions for their retirements. However, orders for Chinese goods are down significantly for next year and many factories are closing down due to lack of sales since the United States is China's largest trading partner. Everything from shoes and plastic forks are seeing decreases in orders. Unemployment is fairly high since China has way too many people.
Another event that affected China's economy is the Olympics. In order to ensure that the event was a success with the least amount of restrictions China created new Visa rules to curtail the entry of foreigners. As a result, the amount of tourists dropped by quite a bit. Most of these Visa restrictions have been lifted, but the outlook for tourism is still lower than previous years because many foreigners are not travelling in the current economic climate.
The people I spoke to were also quite curious about home and car purchase in America. Cars carry a tariff as high as 25% to 100% in China, but people still buy them. Condos in large cities like Beijing and Shanghai are extremely expensive, and yet people still manage to pay in cash or put at least 30% down. The tour guide in Shanghai told us that most people also get very short term mortgages where they pay a home off in 5 years. She thought that a 0% down loan is absolutely ridiculous and said that the bankers in America must be idiots. Home prices in China hasn't really fallen because people save up so much cash to buy something, but home sales have slowed significantly after a rapid run in prices.
Most people I spoke to believe that the Chinese government is doing the best it can under the current economic climate. Everyone agreed that their lives have vastly improved in the last two decades of reform, and even though some people said that they were dubious about China's large purchase of American government debt, they seem to agree with the fairly conservative economic policies of the central government. China is also focusing on education and scientific research much more than before to cultivate its own engineering and scientific talent. Another emerging trend is that more and more Chinese students of my generation who go abroad are returning to China after they graduate. This is a big difference from my parents' generation, who went abroad and never returned.
For the most part,it seemed like business as usual in China. In my hometown, the restaurants we went to were packed to the brim and my grandfather said, "I bet you can't see a financial crisis here." There weren't as many tourists, but I guess that's better for pictures. In Shanghai it was hard to hail a cab, and car license plates are auctioned off each month for more than $5000 each. In Beijing, the construction cranes were still working overtime to erect modern and bizarre skyscrapers. China is definitely still growing amidst this global financial turmoil, and there is definitely a sense of pride and optimism in the misty polluted air.

Herefordshire - About Us
Welcome to the Herefordshire Federation
Hereford is a beautiful rural county situated in the centre of the country. It is the home of Hereford cattle and it is also a large producer of cider. We take pride in the fact that there are no motorways in Herefordshire; life goes at a much slower pace. The borders are Powys, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. It is made up of Market Towns and many small villages, some of which make up the Black and White Trail. This is a route following the very distinctive back and white houses in Herefordshire which are hundreds of years old.
We have a thriving WI Federation in Herefordshire with 57 WI's and around 1350 members. Within the WI there are various committees who arrange various activities to educate and entertain us. They also give us the opportunity to socialise with members of WI's other than our own.
The Federation committees arrange trips to Denman College near Abingdon where you can learn new skills such as stained glass, cookery, hand bells or calligraphy, to name but a few. Many of our WI's also give bursaries to pay for these visits. We arrange a visit to Denman every November for a "Taster day" and overnight stay; this is very popular with the members.
There are many Continental coach trips arranged by the Federation. This is a lovely way to enable single travellers or those who may not be confident enough to travel in a safe environment with good company.
In 2020 the Herefordshire Federation are celebrating our Centenary anniversary. This is obviously a very memorable event and we are intending to celebrate in a big way. We are planning many events to commemorate this. Our celebrations will be starting at our Annual conference on Monday 29th April 2019 and will culminate at a Garden Party in Lower Hope, Ullingswick in June 2020.
If you are new in the area and would like to make new friends then come and see what we do. You can attend three of our meetings free of charge before deciding if you would like to join but this is up to individual WIs.
For contact details of your nearest WI, please contact us at WI House (contact details below); you are always very welcome. There is also a contact form on this website and you can also contact us via the Herefordshire Federation page on Facebook.

So, mom and I were stuck inside again today due to weather. Such a bummer. We made the most of it & got a bunch of stuff done. I made a chinese chicken salad, wrapped some Christmas Presents, washed mom's hair & got her up into her chair. Jenna stopped over after work today & we all had yummy salad for dinner. Jenna's Swarm practice was cancelled due to weather conditions, so she ended up going to yoga instead in EP. It was fun to get to hang out with her! We didn't see her all weekend :(.
My mom has also discovered a love for ice chips. We have found that they are easy to feed to her & they make her so happy! This requires me to stand by her bedside for a half an hour since she wants more & more. If it makes her happy, it is worth it! Such a simple thing…who would have ever though?
Mom & I will be getting our hair cut tomorrow. My cousin will be going on maternity leave soon & had a completely booked schedule. We are very excited to have snuck in our appointments & won't be missing it!
That is about it for today. Not too exciting of a day……but it held a lot of love 🙂

It is not a mistake to bet everything is about using your mind in the right direction and implementing strategies that can help you achieve your goals. Before we start, I want to talk about strategy and how to define it. In desperate conditions, the strategy is a way of gaining competitive advantage and to get that advantage, you're going to be a little different from those in the ballroom.
We totally agree with the fact that finding an edge is a hard job because this game revolves around the concept of making money which is not a simple phenomenon, however, if you are able to analyze the situation and you know how to play around with different Tricks then, you can easily make money just by using your mind.
According to the betting experts, thestrategy is not linked with how you should play the game however, it is more about how you should beat the players in the same room.
So what are the best sporting betting strategies?
Before adopting any strategy, always remember the fact that if you are unable to understand the nature of your opponent and how they are taking every step then, strategy can't help you to achieve your betting goals.
You should always use your mind to think about the steps which should be taken according to the current situation and for that purpose, you surely have to use your observation skills.
According to the betting expert Marius Norheim, betting is all about creating an edge by controlling your money. While playing your game you should never forget about your values and what your long term goals are.Most of the people believe that analyzing the situation is important than planning the strategy. The mentioned-statement is partially true,however, when it comes to increasing the chances of profit then, you should have proper information about your own strengths and how they should be used for giving tough competition to other people in the ballroom.
If you are interested in winning then, you should know the importance of being in your senses. As sports betting is another name for gambling, therefore, many people tend to get influenced by the casino environment and loss their entire senses while playing.
If you are planning to enjoy the casino free drinks with sports betting then, trust me you have already wasted your money because these two things don't go hand in hand.
For winning your prediction in the game, you have to properly analyze each and everything happening in the ballroom. So it is highly important to stay in your senses because you are risking your money and we believe that money is a no joke.
Risking a lot of money in the game is one of the most foolish things ever done by any better. The young and new comers have this perception that profitability in betting is all about risking your entire bank account.
However, this statement is totally incorrect. According to the betting experts, the one thing which can help you in playing effectively is called as money management. You should not risk your entire bank payroll for increasing the chances of success.
However, you should set some goals for yourself because sports betting is quite a lot a risky thing. It is better to set the weekly goals for yourself and then, invest money accordingly.
According to the betting experts, there is a very thin line between understanding the nature of the sports market and positive expectations. Most of the people have this perception that positivity is the key to success.
Yes! You are almost right however, you should also understand the fact that sports betting market is highly unpredictable in nature and it is relatively impossible to use the extensive research tools like trend analysis for generating the accurate results for increasing the chances of profit.
If you want to earn the profit and gain success then, you should know the importance of right prediction which is made by considering the several factors.
For instance, you should know the ongoing trends in the market and how particular player is expected to react. This factor comes under the category of homework. Earning profit is all about performing your homework and gaining maximum information about the next step.
As discussed in point 3, the environment of thecasino is highly influencing in nature. Some people tend to lose their senses while others struggle with controlling their buying power.
Many people believe that the greater points you have, the more chances of success you own. However, this statement is wrong because these points can trap you in the ugliest manner.
For instance, if we consider the working of 'squares' then, you need to understand the fact that people in the sports rooms are sitting there for making extra money. When you choose to buy points of your favorite game just in hurry then, you are actually increasing the probability of losing the entire game in the one go.
Always be aware of the trap!
Betting is surely a luck game but we pray that may odds be in your favor. Before starting any betting game it is recommended to acquire some valid information about the sports by checking out the bettingtop10.
We not only believe in helping you out for increasing the probability of the success, however, our agenda is to teach you the right tricks which can save you from the betting traps (which is surely a costly deal).
So are you ready?

Tip of the Week: Primary Source Integration Ideas from the Library of Congress
Three years ago, Mary J. Johnson, an educational consultant to the Library of Congress, created a two part article on the Teaching with the Library of Congress blog highlighting primary source integration strategies. I've adapted and posted Part One below.
As a teacher, you can saturate your classroom with primary sources from the Library of Congress to promote critical thinking and inquiry. Think of every surface, including computer screens, as potential display spaces for primary sources – photographs, cartoons, music, films, maps, historic newspapers, artifacts, and more. Add document analysis sheets and critical thinking prompts from the Library's page for teachers, and you'll have a constant source of primary source conversation starters at your fingertips.
But what are some specific strategies for introducing primary sources to students? Let's start with these ten:
Teacher Mystery
On your door, display a photograph that says something about your past. For example, if your grandmother was a teacher (or singer, tennis player, immigrant, etc.), locate and print a representative photograph from the Library of Congress collections. Can your students discover the connection?
Jigsaw Maps
On a table, fill a basket with cut up pieces of a laminated historic map for your students to assemble. Bird's eye view maps and panoramic maps work well for all ages. Look for maps that are connected to your specific content as a great way to hook kids into your instructional unit. Help students think critically about the maps by posting questions from Teacher's Guide: Analyzing Maps nearby.
What Makes You Say That?
Pin cutout letters to a wall to guide primary source analyses all year long: What do you observe? What do you think you know? Why? What do you wonder about?
Timeline Builders
Run an empty timeline with dates all around the room. As questions about the past come up throughout the year, students can search for images or texts in the Library of Congress collections to illustrate the timeline.
What's That Sound?
We often don't think enough about using sound as a primary source. As students enter the room, play a recording from the Library's audio collections. Encourage curiosity with questions from the Teacher's Guide: Analyzing Sound Recordings.
Sticky Thinking
Place an enlarged primary source photograph in the center of a large piece of butcher paper on the wall. Print "I think . . . because . . ." above the image. Ask students to post their observations and inferences on sticky notes around the image.
Primary Source Me
Each week, feature a student photo surrounded by the student's choice of Library of Congress primary sources that say something about personal interests, family, or ancestors.
Book Bags
On a wall, display the cover of a favorite book surrounded by paper lunch bags. Ask students to search the Library of Congress website for historical images that illustrate the context of the story. Attach the images to the bags.
Primary Source Set of the Month
Make a large wall display of items in a Primary Source Set from the Teachers Page. Ask students to write observations, reflections, or questions on post-it notes to place around the primary sources.the Library of Congress website for historical images that illustrate the context of the story. Attach the images to the bags.
Quotation Nation
Copy quotations from historical newspapers in Chronicling America onto butcher sized paper. (Start with Topics in Chronicling America to save time.) Ask students to guess who might have said each, as well as when and why.
Have fun!
Next week? Part two.

Great ideas here! Definitely going to be saving this one…thanks Glenn!September 10, 2016

It's officially the end of an era.
The Northwest Costume Shop on 6th Avenue has been closed following a fire last year, and now the building is up for sale. But fear not: Owners Tom and Mary Johnson have no plans to disappear anytime soon.
"I've never been one to stand still for very long," Mary Johnson said. "This is just a pause in our lives."
Future plans aren't firm, but ideas swirl around the idea of running a Victorian and Old West photo studio since they love costumes and love photography – with a darkroom and film, rather than pixels and filters.
"We love old photography," Tom Johnson said. "So that melds those together."
But first there comes a party, a benefit for the American Cancer Society. The invite-only "One Last Costume Party" is set for May 11 for attendees to see the building, albeit void of its one-of-a-kind costumes and handmade clothing that the costume couple had either made or gathered over the decades in business. Those were largely lost in the fire that was started in an electrical outlet last November. What wasn't charred by fire or damaged by smoke, was soaked by water from hoses firefighters used to save the building.
"We could never regain what we had gathered over the years," Mary Johnson said, noting that what costumes remain are in the process of continuing their stage, movie and television careers as she helps two former customers open their own costume shop. "I am thrilled for that. I am doing everything I can to facilitate that."
Remarkably, the Johnsons' immaculately detailed collection of Victorian-era furnishings that was on display as their Sherlock Holmes room survived the fire and is now in safe storage, although the fate of the region's local chapter of Sound of the Baskervilles, the fan group of all things regarding Baker Street's famous detective, remains unknown since the Victorian parlor is now packed in boxes.
"That's one of the disappointments we have with everything," Mary Johnson said. "I spent 20 years assembling those pieces."
Each of those pieces, along with the costumes in the shop and the friends who shared memories of parties and plays they performed in while wearing clothing from the Johnsons' shop, have enough stories to fill novels of their own. But the last chapter of the building itself has yet to be written.
The two-story brick building at 2315 6th Ave. was built in 1928 and served as a cluster of neighborhood shops and appliance stores in the years become becoming the home of the Northwest Costume Shop. The rising trend of renovating old buildings into modern uses, such as the former Elks Lodge and almost every building at the University of Washington Tacoma, almost certainly has gained interest from restaurant owners and breweries with visions of a two-story, landmark eatery along the city's busy 6th Ave strip that comes with its own 25-stall parking lot behind the 10,000-square-foot icon.
"There is certainly a lot of interest," Toner Real Estate Solutions Principal Joseph Toner said. "I've gotten a lot of calls from the people you would expect. It's definitely going to be a space for a community hub."
Many investors have inquired about the building, but no solid offers have been submitted, which is to be expected since the building doesn't formally go on the market until May 11, after which the Johnsons will take some time to screen the offers.
Anyone interested in attending "One Last Costume Party" to celebrate the building and the Johnsons can contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call (253) 441-5000. Several hundred people are expected, so plead your case and hope for the best, since invitatons have already gone out to Sixth Avenue businessowners, community leaders, friends, family and city officials. While the party doesn't technically require attendees wear costumes, they are highly, highly, highly encouraged – like highly. It is a costume shop, after all. Suit up.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – It's hard enough when you have to put a loved one in an assisted living facility, but when you live in Middle Tennessee, you also have to think about severe weather readiness.
News 2 went to Elmcroft of Lebanon, an assisted living center to see how they prepare for severe weather.
Amy Boggess, the facility's activities director, has created a "Disaster Week" program to make sure her residents learn what to do different disaster scenarios.
For example, Boggess teaches them what to do in a tornado situation and where to go, but she also gives them funnel cake as a treat.
"Well, mainly we just sat in our room until they came into to our room and told us to get into the inner hall and we followed the residents and we felt very safe on that inner wall," explained resident Jackie McClain.
Boggess said she suggests those looking at assisted living facilities to talk to them about how they prepare their residents.
She reminds it is law for all facilities to have a plan.

Another sunny day but no good for the local rivers which are super low at the moment.

Busy, Busy Bee
The heat finally hit, so my schedule has changed. My alarm goes off at 4am now. Although, I am still struggling with that a bit. It takes me a bit to drag myself out of bed, but I am still up and rolling by no later than 5am. You cannot waste the morning this time of year.
I was getting at least 4 head of horses worked, along with a bit of random cleaning done, but I had to put all that aside to get some shades put up for the horses. I bought 2 kits awhile back and have been waiting to get help to put them up...and waiting...and waiting!!
With 104-106* temps in the forecast, I couldn't wait any more. I had to get them up. My poor hubby came home for a few days and helped me get started on one. I feel bad...it was over his birthday and to be perfectly honest...I was so concerned about getting the shades up, I totally forgot about his birthday. :-/. He said he didn't care, but I kinda think he did. Poor guy!
He had to go back to work before we got started on the 2nd shade, so after the promised help from someone else got pushed back another week, I said 'Screw it!' and put the shade up myself.
Let me tell you...It was no easy feat. These shade kits were not at all what I had in mind. They are m.a.s.s.i.v.e. The legs are 4 1/2" pipe and the purlins are heavy gauge, with the short sides being 12' and the long sides being 16'. It took me 4 mornings (about 20 hours) to get the damn thing up, whereas MH and I had the frame up on the other one in one morning. And in all honesty, I'm fairly surprised I didn't kill myself doing it alone. It's not perfectly square...and I do have one leg that is tipped in...but it's up and now both shades have their roofs on too. I even got a mister set up for the mares and baby(ies).
Oh yea...Still waiting for the Tiny Watch mare to foal. That poor mare. It's hot and she has gotten huge. I know she is miserable. I am praying that she foals in the next few days. We are supposed to have a reprieve from the hight temps for a few days and it would be nice if she and the baby got a few days before the intense heat comes back. I need to move some panels around, build her a foaling pen, add some sail shades on the ends of the structure shade and another mister and go buy some more straw bales to put down. I contemplated moving the mare over to a friend's, because she has an enclosed barn and it would be much cooler in there than here, but Scamper gets so freaked out about being moved around and separated from her friends that I decided she is too close to foaling to risk it. We'll just have to make do here. I'm trying not to be overly worried about this foaling, but so many people have had foals born dead, or lost them, or lost the mare, that I cannot help but feel more anxiety than normal. It doesn't help that this foal is very, very important to me. I am hoping for a colt this time. Hah!! All this time I keep hoping for fillies and have gotten colt after colt....Now that I actually want a colt, I'll probably get a filly.
(shrugs)...Either way, this foal is a keeper, so more than anything I just don't want anything to go wrong!!
On the sad side of things...Sassy absorbed her embryo again. Even with receiving the regumate shots. :-(. I don't know what is going on with her. Physically, she looks fantastic and she is traveling good. Something in her system isn't right though and even though she is making an embryo, she cannot carry. It's a sad, sad blow. I love my yellow colt by her and was hoping for several more. Not to mention that Cindy D. will not get her foal out of Sassy. I feel horrible. Talking a friend into jumping into the 'make a baby' game and then having it go so badly just sucks. I was hoping to raise a Starlight baby out of Sassy for myself too, so both of our plans are shot. I did tell Cindy D. that I would buy her stud fee and next year I will breed Belle to Starlight. That should be a good cross and even though I intend on using Belle, raising one baby won't set me back too much with her. I'm not opposed to riding a mare that is bred, so I can keep going with her for quite awhile next year and she will still only be 7 when she is ready to go back to work.
I dunno, this breeding business has been very costly these last couple of years. Two studs I bought stud fees to are dead, with no babies by them, one mare dead with no baby out of her, a lost stud fee because Frenchie didn't settle last year and now Sassy out of reproductive commission. It's a good thing I don't do this thinking I was going to make money on it. LOL.
And with that...I have to get back to work. Horses need rode. Right now is not a good time to try to sell horses down here, but I have to keep after it so that the ones I do plan on selling are ready to go when it's time. ;-).

I'm curious- don't the stallion owners have a live foal guarantee? I sure as heck wouldn't spend money on a stud without that. Even if it takes rebreeding for a couple of years, or whatever, I stand by my live foal guarantee with Beamer once the stud fee is paid. The only exception would be blatant mismanagement or abuse from the mare owner.

They have all had LFG and in most cases, the owners have been generous to let me change mares (as was the case when the gray mare was unusable and now they will let me use a different mare on the Starlight breeding too), but it's trickier when the stallion dies. The contracts I had on those stallions said they would only refund a portion of my stud fee, or allow me to breed to an alternative stallion they had standing. I did try to use Frenchie on that race-bred alternative stallion, but she didn't settle and I wasn't going to waste any more time or money on that. I wanted her bred to Firewater Fooler this year, so I cut my losses on that one. The other stallion that died, was slated for Sassy (after she produced a Starlight baby) and when he died, I could have used their other stallion (no refunds on him because I bought that breeding through a charity auction last summer), but I am not enamored of the alternate stallion, so I just wrote that one off.
I'll use Belle on the Starlight breeding next year, but Cindy is out. She just wanted one baby, preferably out of Sassy, and she is not interested in waiting another year.

Breeding is not for the faint of heart! I would be like you- get the shade up myself. Good for you!

Ya breeding seems to be a dicey game, I know a few people spent quite a bit of money to get a foal, makes me worry for my 2 next year
