Writing a strategy document

Ever since I've used a computer, I've had Administrator rights on the computers I've worked on. Even at work, I've had full rights because my jobs involving computer support of some kind or another have required it!
Now, I'm in User Land. And (gasp) a locked down environment. What, no command line? No access to network properties? No rights to install programs? Worse still, no access to scripting languages?
First problem: can't install anything into C:\Program Files. Okay, let's create a folder called C:\Resources. Downloaded files go into C:\Resources\Programs. Apps ready to run go into C:\Resources\Go.
Next, over the last few months I've assembled a toolkit of no-install programs that allow me to more or less establish my 'usual' environment without treading on SysAdmin's turf:
|ZIP package of my fave browser (go to PortableApps if you prefer Firefox & Thunderbird).
|Flash plug-in
|Official XPI version of Flash
|Regrettably, this has to replace trusty NoteTab Light. Admittedly, this package appears to be much more powerful anyway!
|Portable version of 7-Zip
|FreeMind should install without modification. Just don't add a Start Menu icon.
|Eclipse downloads are all ZIP packages anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem.
|Can't do this on a non-admin computer, unfortunately. You'll have to install a JDK on a computer that has admin rights, then burn the resulting directory to a CD/DVD and then just copy this folder structure to C:\Resources\Go\jdk160
|This works, but you'll need to write a couple of custom batch scripts for ease of use.
|MySQL has a ZIP download, but it still wants to run as a service. Some more batch files required:
Oh, also make sure you grab EMS SQL Manager 2007 Lite for a install-free GUI to manage MySQL. Just copy the .exe to the MySql \bin directory.

Eat Well Age Well Launch Event
We had a fantastic response to the official Eat Well Age Well Launch event in Edinburgh on the 16th May. Sixty delegates from a wide variety of organisations including NHS, Scottish Government, Third Sector, Local Councils, Housing Associations and Academia, came together to show their support and enthusiasm for the project, as we shared our aims, objectives and plans for the future.
One section of the event was dedicated to group discussions seeking our delegates' views on changes needed in the community to help address malnutrition in older people. We very much appreciate everyone's participation in this invaluable exercise which offered detailed insight into how Eat Well Age Well can help develop ideas for the prevention, detection and treatment of malnutrition.

Dr Olivia Doughty, Clinical Psychologist (BPs, HCPC)
About me
I am an experienced, HCPC and BPS (British Psychological Society) registered Chartered Clinical Psychologist offering assessments and therapy for adults and children.
I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from University College London and am highly trained in working with people who present with a range of mental health/ emotional difficulties, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Personality disorder and relationship difficulties
- Trauma and PTSD
- Psychosis
- Bipolar Disorder
I work with both adults and children.
Since qualifying, I have specialised in working with children and adolescents and have several years experience working with looked after children. I now offer assessments and therapy for families where children are presenting with behavioural and emotional difficulties. I have a particular interest in attachment difficulties and believe that the focus of change for most cases involving children/ young people should involve the whole family making changes together. I have further training in Systemic psychotherapy.
I strive to offer an accepting and compassionate therapeutic environment. As a clinical psychologist I incorporate information from past experiences and present difficulties to devise a collaborative (client driven) formulation to help explain what I think could be making life hard now and also help identify ways forward.
I often incorporate ideas from a range of models, depending on what is the best fit for the client but adhere to evidence base and NICE guidelines for best practice in terms of the models of therapy I offer. I, therefore, offer Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Compassionate Focused Therapy (CFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) as well as drawing upon Attachment focused therapy and Systemic therapy.

Coal Plants Go Low-Tech to Meet Green Goals
The Times veteran environment and energy reporter, Matthew L. Wald writes that Minnesota Power is injecting "waste wood from paper mills, furniture factories and logging operations" into their coal powered plants so as to increase the percentage of renewables they use. Technically referred to as "Biomass Co-firing in Industrial Boilers" (PDF) by the Environmental Protection Agency, it has the added benefit of reducing most conventional air pollutants. Among some of the EPA's findings:
SO2 emissions were essentially eliminated using this high blend of woody biomass. NOX emissions were also greatly reduced when co-firing... and there was a statistically significant change [decrease] in CO2 emissions and a large increase in CO emissions...the total particulate emission rate was reduced by 81 percent.
As for the CO2 emitted from the wood, Wald writes that "regulators usually count its use as zero carbon", notwithstanding the claim from "some opponents of using wood (who) say that disrupting forests means added carbon dioxide." Unlike coal, wood is not a fossil fuel - it's a renewable fuel, and there are huge benefits to adding it to coal should E.P.A. regulate existing power plants, as Wald writes below.
For companies like Minnesota Power, co-firing will be one of the leading options if the E.P.A., which recently proposed limits on carbon emissions for new plants, follows through on its plan to develop limits for old ones. Using modest amounts of wood at a large number of coal plants could be a relatively quick way to phase in renewable energy. And unlike wind or solar power electricity from a boiler, burning wood is easy to schedule and integrate into the grid.
Coming to a city near you: "E.P.A. is in the midst of 'listening sessions' in 11 cities around the country, to gather ideas from the public about putting carbon limits on existing plants. Last week it held an eight-hour session in Denver," writes Wald.
But co-firing is no sure win. "In some cases, particularly for bigger companies, there is simply not enough wood as American Electric Power (found in) trying to meet Ohio's renewable energy standard," Wald notes. And then, there's the increased weight and bulk to consider. "A pound of wood can produce only about two-thirds as much heat as a pound of coal, and it is a lot bigger," according to Wald.
Ultimately, to meet E.P.A.'s new carbon standards, carbon capture and storage will be required for most fossil fuel plants. However, "David L. Nicholls, a forest products technologist at the United States Forest Service and a specialist on co-firing (PDF), who is based in Sitka, Alaska," suggested, "You could look at co-firing as a bridge strategy."

How Many Calories Are in a Tuna Sandwich?
If your pantry includes tuna, you're hardly alone. According to the National Fisheries Institute, consumers in the United States enjoy more than a million pounds of tuna annually. Although eating the canned fish on its own might not thrill you, mixing it with mayonnaise and spreading it between two slices of fresh bread can be a hearty snack -- albeit one that's fairly high in calories.
Reel in a Tasty Sandwich
Although you can prepare your tuna sandwich with a variety of twists, the standard approach to the snack is mixing the fish with mayo. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a 172-gram can of tuna has 220 calories. If you mix the contents of the can with two tablespoons of reduced-fat, olive oil mayonnaise, you add about 108 calories to the mix. Two slices of white bread increases the meal's caloric count by 148 calories; if you'd rather use whole-wheat bread, two slices equal 162 calories. Thus, a standard tuna sandwich on white contains 476 calories, while a whole-wheat tuna sandwich has 490 calories. To lower the calories, you could mix the tuna with low-fat, plain Greek yogurt.

Was pretty stoked to picked up a box of the new 2019-20 Upper Deck Hockey MVP cards.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the new design of these cards this year. I was also pretty happy with pulling several numbered Color and Contours insert cards which are a really nice looking card. The numbered autograph script cards have a new design which looks great as well.
Really happy with this product and can see myself picking up another hobby box for sure.
So glad I stumbled on to this site and forums it has re-ignited my passion for sports trading cards.
Having been out of the action for the better part of 30 years, I wasn't sure if I was to old to start from scratch and really didn't know where to start. Then I stumbled onto this site and everyone here has been awesome with help on where to start.
Big thumbs up to everyone and I think the hobby is going to keep me well occupied going in to mt early retirement.

On Sunday, I asked if we could have an additional talk during the week. I suggested 'friends and family', and a shorter session. I was happy to hear from both family and friends. Here's a few (non-personal) EVP from this evening.
"The results are telling you to plan"
"It's hard for you to plan"
This refers to some lifestyle changes that were suggested by the team. They are right, of course, on both counts. I have been getting better results and I do find it hard to plan!
".. important, hence reading your e-mail"
I expect this is referring to an email I sent another ITC researcher recently.
"Nic – we'll have some news"
"There'll be work to do"
"Thank our guests"
(I did)
Me: "Much love to you"
"Thank you"

Pennsylvania electric distribution companies (EDCs) may be able to offer are now offering residential and small business customers a choice to participate in a voluntary electric shopping program known as the Standard Offer Customer Referral Program.
Through this program, EDCs make available a standard offer to all residential and small business customers who have not shopped their electric generation with a competitive supplier, as well as customers who have already shopped yet inquire about the program. Depending upon market conditions, Standard Offer may not always be available in certain areas. Only EDCs that have competitive suppliers actively participating in Standard Offer at a given time can refer customers to the program.
The Standard Offer includes a fixed-rate price, 7 percent below the electric utility's current Price to Compare (the price the utility pays for electricity), for a term of one-year with no cancellation or termination fees. A Standard Offer customer can cancel the agreement at any time.
Under the Standard Offer Program, EDCs refer certain customers calling the utility (such as those with high bill complaints) to a randomly selected retail electric supplier participating in the program. The supplier, or a third party acting on behalf of the supplier, must offer the customer a standard 7 percent discount versus the EDC's currently effective Price-to-Compare (PTC), with such rate fixed for 12 months.
EXAMPLE: If an EDC's current PTC is 10 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), then the customer could enroll in the Standard Offer Program at 9.3 cents per kWh — a 7 percent discount off the PTC with the rate remaining fixed at that price for 12 months.
Terms and conditions of the standard offer are presented to customers before they decide to enter the program. The standard offer and its 12-month term are uniform for all customers within a rate class, within an EDC's service territory. Customers who enroll with a participating supplier are free to leave the Standard Offer Program at any time during the 12 months with no termination/cancellation fee imposed.
All existing customer notification requirements apply, including notices relating to any proposed changes in the contract between the supplier and customer. Customers will receive contract renewal notices prior to the end of the standard offer period. At that time, they have three options:
- Remain with their current supplier;
- Switch to another competitive supplier; or
- Return to default service offered by their EDC.
If a customer fails to respond with one of these options, they will automatically remain with the current supplier on a month-to-month basis without any early termination fees.
View the latest updates on referrals and enrollments to the Standard Offer Program.

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and the Yayasan Diraja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) Foundation have entered into a partnership agreement to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to preserve the wetland ecosystem and cultural heritage in Setiu, a district in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia, using mobile broadband, Internet of Things, and cloud technologies.
Ericsson and YDSM, under this agreement will establish sustainable practices for agriculture, fisheries and ecotourism. Together with connectivity partner Celcom Axiata Berhad the partnership intends to explore five main areas - Mobile broadband for All, Connected Agriculture, Intelligent Fisheries, Enhanced Learning and Digital Ecotourism in order to provide sustainable solutions which the communities at Setiu can leverage for a positive economic, environmental and social impact.
Professor Dato' Makhdzir Mardan, an advisor to YDSM said this collaboration further reaffirms the Foundation's commitment to developing the state of Terengganu: "Our foundation is focused on implementing solutions towards environmental conservation and protecting our cultural heritage in Terengganu. We see the value ICT can play in empowering the community in Setiu with education, soft skills training, and innovative solutions. Digitizing Setiu Wetlands will also put us on the map as tourist destination and allow us to share our culture and heritage with the world," he said.
As part of the project, Ericsson together with their partners will
- Provide high speed mobile broadband in the Setiu Wetlands area to enable the use of mobile applications, video streaming and Internet of Things applications to support the community, government and research efforts towards maintaining sustainable growth in the area.
- Establish a remote water monitoring system for rivers, mangrove plantations and palm oil plantations to detect pollution or changes in the water quality that can affect the health of the flora and fauna in the area. The system aims to allow for early preventive action when pollution is detected as well as for early planning of preservation and sustainability policies.
- Develop a mobile application for fishermen in order for them to access information such as weather forecasts, plankton grounds, wind changes and water temperature to ensure the most productive catch for the day. The system will also enable fishermen to connect with their peers using Person to Person, Application to Person and GPS messaging. The systems are aimed at increasing yield, ensuring safety and reducing time spent at sea.
Todd Ashton, Head of Ericsson Malaysia and Sri Lanka said "An initiative like this is testament to how mobility, broadband, and cloud can unleash untapped potential in Malaysia. This initiative will allow Setiu to leverage ICT to digitally transform communities and industries for enhanced day-to-day living and better productivity. At Ericsson we believe in the power of working with partners with a shared vision and are pleased to be working with YDSM. Ericsson is a leading advocate of Technology for Good and we want to ensure our technology is a force for positive change towards creating a Networked Society in Terengganu".
Setiu Wetlands is the largest natural wetlands in the East Coast region of Peninsula Malaysia, located in the Setiu district in the state of Terengganu. It has unique freshwater, seawater and brackish water ecosystem as well as a 14 km lagoon.
In 2015 the government of Terengganu gazetted 400 hectares within 1,743 hectares of Setiu wetlands as a state park due to the biological diversity of the area, and made the decision to protect the natural environment, biodiversity, cultural and heritage values and enchance opportunities for ecotourism.
Yayasan Diraja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) has mandated the preservation of the Setiu wetlands ecosystem and cultural heritage and believe that this collaboration with Ericsson will be ensuring the sustainable development of Setiu Wetlands and its surrounding villages.
The first phase of work is due to commence in the last quarter of 2016. The partnership will also explore opportunity to enhance learning and promote eco-tourism in later stages.

I've previously posted about the new logging features in ASP.NET Core RC1 and MVC6. This time I'm going to write about how Microsoft now has dependency inversion baked into the new Core framework.
Dependency inversion is a well documented and understood principle – it's what the D stands for in SOLID, and says that your code should only depend on abstractions, not concrete implementations. So plug your services into your application through interfaces.
In previous versions of MVC, I've needed to download a 3rd party library to assist with dependency inversion – these libraries are also sometimes called "containers". Examples of containers I've used are NInject.MVC, Autofac, and Sprint.NET.
In MVC6, Microsoft has entered this field, by including a simple container in the new version of ASP.NET. This isn't intended to replicate all the features of other containers – but it provides dependency inversion features which may be suitable for many projects. This allows us to avoid adding a heavyweight 3rd party dependency to our solution (at least until there's a feature we need from it).
Getting started
For our example, first create the default MVC6 web application in Visual Studio 2015.
Now let's create a simple stubbed service and interface to get some users. We'll save this in the "Services"folder of the project.
public interface IUserService { IEnumerable<User> Get(); }
We'll need a User object too – we'll put this in the "Models" folder.
public class User { public string Name { get; set; } }
Let's create a concrete implementation of this interface, and save this in the "Services" folder too.
public class UserService : IUserService { public IEnumerable<User> Get() { return new List<User>{ new User { Name = "Jeremy" } }; } }
Now modify the HomeController to allow us to display these users on the Index page – we need to change the constructor (to inject the interface as a class dependency), and to change the Index action to actually get the users.
public class HomeController : Controller { private readonly IUserService _userService; public HomeController(IUserService userService) { _userService = userService; } public IActionResult Index() { var users = _userService.Get(); return View(users); } }
If we just run our project now, we'll get an exception – the HomeController's Index action is trying to get users, but the IUserService has not been instantiated yet.
We need to configure the services that the container knows about. This is where Microsoft's new dependency inversion container comes in. You just need to add a single line of code in the ConfigureServices method in Startup.cs to make sure the controller is given a concrete instance of UserService when it asks the container "Can you give me something that implements IUserService?"
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { ... services.AddTransient<IUserService, UserService>(); }
If we run the project again now, we won't get any exceptions – obviously we'd have to change the Index view to display the users.
Transient, Scoped, Singleton, Instance
In the example above, I used the "AddTransient" method to register the service. There's actually 4 options to register services:
- AddTransient
- AddScoped
- AddSingleton
- AddInstance
Which option you choose depends on the lifetime of your service:
- Transient services are created each time they are called. This would be useful for a light service, or when you need to guarantee that every call to this service comes from a fresh instantiation (like a random number generator).
- Scoped services are created once per request. Entity Framework contexts are a good example of this kind of service.
- Singleton services are created once and then every request after that uses the service that was created the first time. A static calculation engine might be a good candidate for this kind of service.
- Instance services are similar to Singleton services, but they're created at application startup from the ConfigureServices method (whereas the Singleton service is only created when the first request is made). Instantiating the service at startup would be useful if the service is slow to start up, so this would save the site's first user from experiencing poor performance.
Microsoft have added their own dependency inversion container to the new ASP.NET Core framework in MVC6. This should be good enough for the needs of many ASP.NET projects, and potentially allows us to avoid adding a heavyweight third party IoC container.

Not a Jalapeno powder and not a Habanero powder either. I would suggest using 1/8 tsp instead of floating one serrano pepper in your chili recipe. The Serrano Powder has a great flavor. You will not loose the aroma or heat during the cooking of any recipe when using Serrano powder The Green Serrano chili Powder pairs well with any sauce or dish her heat and chili pepper flavoring is desired. Serrano powder is used sparingly. As always when using extreme heat products it's good to wear gloves and wash hands after using. Most importantly to remember not to take a deep smell of the aroma or stick the tip of your finger in the container and then in your mouth. You will be surprised.

Ranks in the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
NSCDC is a para-military agency in Nigeria empowered by lay Act No. 2 of 2003 and amended by Act 6 of 4th June 2007. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps was established to provide safety measures against any form of threat, attack or disaster against Nigeria and her citizens. They carry guns like other armed forces.
NSCDC Rank Structure just like any other ranks in the Nigerian Police, Army, Navy, Airforce and FRSC have an organized chain of command. The ranks in the NSCDC starts from the Assistant Cadre to the Commandant General.
Just as the Nigerian army have commissioned and non-commissioned officers, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence has the Cadre and Superintendent Cadre.
Also be aware that the NSCDC new salary structure after the increase on minimum wage is also based on the level of your ranking if you want to be a civil defence officer.
Graduates are placed in level 8, HND holders are placed on level 7. Medical doctors on level 12 while lawyers and those who have masters degree are placed on level 9.
If you are looking for information on how the Nigerian Civil Defence rank its officers, this post should be valuable to you.
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Rank Structure
I shall list the hierarchical structure of ranks in the NSCDC from the lowest to the highest rank with their various levels below:
Assistant Cadre- Level 3 to 5 (The lowest ranking officer in the NSCDC)
Inspectorate Cadre- Level 6 to 12
Assistant Superintendent Cadre II (ASC) Level 8
Assistant Superintendent Cadre I (ASC)Level 9
Deputy Superintendent Cadre (DSC) Level 10
Superintendent Cadre (SC) Level 11
Chief Superintendent Cadre (CSC) Level 12
Assistant Commander (AC) Level 13
Deputy Commander (DC) Level 14
Chief Commander (CC) Level 15
Assistant Commandant General (ACG) Level 16
Deputy Commandant General (DCG) Level 17
Commandant General CG (The highest rank in the NSCDC) Level 18
New Salary Structure of the NSCDC: How Much an Officer in the Civil defence is paid
Although, I couldn't get the new full salary scale as salary level in NSCDC after this minimum wage increase depends on your rank and promotions.
As earlier said, they are structured just like the Nigerian police and the military. There is no special salary structure for graduates. Recruitment into NSCDC in Nigeria is competitive.
An officer with NSCDC on level 8 step 1 (Assistant Superintendent Cadre) salary is around N121,000, while for Inspectorate Cadre on level 7 is around N69, 000.
If you know other NSCDC new salary structure figures after the new minimum wage increase, please let us know using the comment section below.
Just recently in February 2018, President Buhari increased the Nigerian Police Salary Structure so as to encourage them in the fight against crime, kidnapping, armed robbery and other security challenges in the country.
We are yet to see whether this increment will affect the salary of civil defence corp officers too and other paramilitary agencies in the country especially now that the president has increased the minmum wage from N18,000 to N30,000.

BBC News, Mioveni, Romania
In the two years since it joined the European Union, Romania has been among the bloc's best-performing economies.
In 2008, this country of 22 million people registered 8.3% growth, the highest rate in the EU, fuelled by foreign investment and credit from Western-owned banks.
But that was last year.
The huge Dacia factory in Mioveni, in south-western Romania, employs 14,000 workers to assemble the Logan, one of the world's cheapest cars and a symbol of the country's industrial rebirth after the collapse of communism.
Owned by the French car-maker Renault, it used to make a Logan a minute.
Now the parking lot is largely empty except for a few stray dogs, and the factory's white gate is firmly shut.
Dacia has stopped work for a month, until 11 January, the fourth stoppage in four months. Over 600 contracts will not be renewed, production and investment are being cut in what the management calls "anti-crisis measures".
On the main street in Mioveni, a small town of communist-style apartment blocks, there are few visible signs of the crisis.
As traditional Romanian music blares through loudspeakers, people are out shopping and the traffic is brisk.
Many drive Dacia Logans to show their loyalty. Almost half of Mioveni's 30,000 inhabitants work for Dacia and hope to keep their jobs.
"It's fine, we still get 85% of our wages despite the stoppage," one man said, sipping a beer at a pavement cafe despite the winter cold.
"I've worked at the factory for 38 years, my wife and children too, and we're happy here."
But not everybody is so relaxed.
"There's a lot of fear, fear about tomorrow, uncertainty," a man with a young baby said. "We don't know what to do and where to go. Few companies are still hiring and there's a lot of demand."
"Even those who went to work abroad may now be coming back because of the economic problems there. I don't know what's going to happen."
A couple, both Dacia employees, said they mainly stayed at home and kept their spending to the bare minimum.
"It's not only jobs at Dacia that are under pressure," company spokesman Silviu Sepciu said.
Over 120,000 people in Romania depend on the factory in some way or another. But Dacia is under even bigger pressure than other European car-makers.
"New car sales dropped by as much as 50%," Mr Sepciu explained, "not just because the credit crisis has an impact on the mood of consumers, but also because of the massive import of second-hand cars."
"For every new car sold on the Romanian market, there are three second-hand vehicles."
Romania has suspended the registration tax for new cars to safeguard jobs at Dacia and trebled the tax for second-hand imports.
But the new centre-left government, sworn in just before Christmas, is yet to come up with a grand plan to ease the economic downturn.
'No money'
Building sites are closing down as property prices tumble. Foreign investors are getting jittery. Companies are laying off thousands.
At the Alpha trade union, the biggest in the country, Vice-President Petru Dandea worries about rising unemployment. His main concern is that some of the two million Romanians who went to work in Italy and Spain may decide to return in the spring.
"We know that at least 36,000 Romanians were unemployed in the construction sector in Spain," he said.
"They didn't come to Romania because the unemployment benefit in Spain is higher than in Romania. But if the situation doesn't reverse, when the unemployment benefit period is over, an important part of them will come back."
Millions of dollars sent home by migrants helped plug gaps in the state budget. Now the deficit is widening by the day.
"The data we have are pretty bad," Prime Minister Emil Boc recently admitted.
But one group of young musicians has turned the crisis into profit.
"I have no money", a hip-hop number sung in both Romanian and Spanish, is getting a lot of air-play these days.
The artist, who goes by the stage-name of Smiley, said he had written it a couple of years ago about people like himself, who have a lot of debt. But now, he laughed, "we are the only ones that make money in this crisis!"
Smiley also happens to be a student of economics. So does he think Romania, still one of the EU's poorest countries, is ready to face the music?
"No, we aren't ready for anything. Maybe we'll get through the crisis in a funnier way - Romanians always make fun of bad stuff to get over it much quicker. So this is my message: Keep smiling and maybe it will get better for you!"

Withered Heath
|Withered Heath
|"Withered Lands" by Douglas Chaffee
|General Information
|Between two arms of the eastern Grey Mountains
|A long valley made barren by dragons
|Images of Withered Heath
The Withered Heath was a dragon-infested valley in the eastern Grey Mountains in northern Rhovanion.
[edit] Description
The Withered Heath was a long narrow valley in the eastern part of the Grey Mountains, where they forked into two thin ranges.[1][2] On the floor of this long east-west valley between the mountains was a heath, burned and blackened by its inhabitants, being the breeding-ground of dragons.[3]
[edit] History
At one time the dragons of the Heath had infested the Grey Mountains and the lands beyond, and in the closing decades of the Third Age, the Dragon Smaug terrorised the inhabitants of the north.[4] Smaug was the last of the great dragons, but lesser members of his kind remained.
[edit] Other version of the legendarium
In one of the earliest versions of the legendarium, the Withered Heath was the name of the Heath of the Sky-roof, a location of Tol Eressëa near Tavrobel, after a great battle between Men who came to the island.[5]
In the manuscript of The Hobbit, Bladorthin (the pre-cursor to Gandalf) says that the Withered Heath is "where the Great Dragons used to live".[6]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
1982-97: Middle-earth Role Playing:
- The Withered Heath (Quenya Sarch nia Linquelíë) is a volcanic basin covering some 8,600 square miles, home to the Drakes of the Grey Mountains.[7][8]
2018: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- The Withered Heath is an area of Ered Mithrim where players can find many Drakes. The Anvil of Winterstith is a glacier that houses the Frost-Hoarde, a army of dragons led by Hrímil Frost-Heart, a Dragon of the ancient days, who served alongside Morgoth in the First Age, and consumed one of the Dwarven Rings of Power.

Having clear Strategic objectives helps you to use time effectively?
Leadership Tool: Focus on doing the right thing
Visualise the organisations direction by using an IO Map to show the Goal, Critical Success Factors and Necessary Conditions. Your team then has an understanding on what needs to be achieved and can focus on identifying and doing the right thing at the right time.
The IO Map is a useful leadership tool to promote strategic thinking and enable a candid discussion. The process of having to verbalise and write down the conditions that must be fulfilled in order to achieve the goal stimulates creative and critical thinking. Using the simple pattern in justifying the links between parent and child entities we can verify if the logic is valid.
It can take a couple of hours for first time users to get into. The basic idea is to set a goal and then work downwards and determine what Necessary Conditions (NCs) and Critical Success Factors (CSFs) need to be fulfilled in order to achieve the goal.
Visualising the organisations direction
For businesses the goal will generally be financially related, whereas schools and hospitals have other goals. We will focus on for profit businesses.
Under ideal situations there should be an IO Map at company level where the Goal is set by the Board of Directors. The Necessary Conditions and Critical Success Factors should be determined by senior and possibly middle management, and then agreed to with the Board. The company IO Map should be made available to the entire organisation so that all staff know what the ultimate goal is.
Based on the company IO Map each department or sub organisation can then develop their IO Map, with the goal being set by the person who the head of department reports to, such as the CEO or COO.

Microsoft's OneNote Staff Notebook for Education app enables school staff collaboration
Microsoft has launched a free tool to help teachers and school staff to collaborate more effectively on curriculum development, administrative duties and internal policies.
OneNote Staff Notebook for Education lets education staff leaders — like principals or faculty heads — set up shared workspaces for teachers and administrators and enable them to organize and share internal information, event and meeting schedules, student progress, parent feedback, lesson plans and more.
The service can be set up and synced using Office 365 or SharePoint 2013, and users can access all content on the OneNote note-taking app across desktops and mobile devices.
The company launched OneNote Class Notebooks for teachers to distribute lesson content to their students last October. Microsoft says it is also working on similar initiatives for business users in the next few months.

Phase II and III of Nestle USA's Solon, Ohio location required two large parking lot expansions, concrete sidewalk and curb paving, sealcoating, line striping, and more.
In continuance of our wonderful relationship with the world's largest food and beverage company, we took our crew to Streetsboro to expand Nestle's concrete delivery truck parking bay by 50,000 square feet.
The Willoughby Eastlake Bus Garage in Willoughby Hills, OH, needed an complete rebuilding of their failing bus garage parking lot- approximately 200,000 square feet of rebuilding. Ohio Paving & Construction came in and excavated the old lot, and then utilized a partnership with Cem-Base to stabilize the underlying soil.
Ohio Paving performed an ADA parking renovation for the Cinemark Theaters in Valley View, Ohio in 2015. Parking lot asphalt and concrete were removed, the surface was regraded and new asphalt (31,000 square feet) and concrete (4,500 square feet) was installed according to ADA guidelines.
Ohio Paving demonstrated our expertise in coordinating large retail shopping center paving projects by milling and resurfacing the Giant Eagle parking lot in Beachwood, Ohio in 2015. This was a two-inch milling project that preceded the asphalt paving and paving marking of the 101,350 square foot space.
Ohio Paving and Construction was contracted in 2015 to provide transitional milling and asphalt paving of the southwest exit, west drive and southwest parking lot (a total of 136,000 square feet).
The growth of Nestle USA prompted the expansion of their parking facilities. Ohio Paving provided a complete site construction including utilities, storm drainage, retaining walls, utilities, lighting and asphalt and concrete paving, parking lot painting and line striping.
Ohio Paving was hired to grind and resurface the parking lot and driveway of the Industrial Hose Division of Parker Hannifin in Wickliffe, Ohio.
The Kirtland Local School District in Kirtland, Ohio contracted Ohio Paving to do a full depth repair, grinding and asphalt resurfacing, sealcoating and pavement marking for their high school parking lot and driveway in August 2014.
The asphalt parking lot and driveway of Project Hope, a homeless shelter in Painesville, Ohio was paved by Ohio Paving as an in-kind donation.

Product benefits
Massage effect due to integrated silicone pads -> reduction of swellings (oedema, hematomes)
Proprioceptive compression → Guidance and stabilisation of the joints
The optional, insertable heel wedges reduce painful tension on the Achilles tendon
How does it work?/Mode of action
Achimed causes a massage effect, which supports perfusion, by interacting with compressive knitted fabric and the two integrated silicon inlays. This effect furthers the decline in swellings and bruises. Irritation and pain are relieved. Simultaneously the muscular control and the inherent stabilisation of the ankle joint improve.
Supports cause the greatest effect during physical exercise.
Donning/fitting instructions
Wrap over the upper part of the support till the outside edge of the silicon inlay.
Take hold off the support in the middle of the silicone inlays and pull it over the foot till the heel part fits tightly.
Turn back the upper part of the support and correct the fit if necessary. It fits properly if the seam runs over the middle of the heel and the Achilles tendon is noticeably embedded in the groove in the inlay.
IMPORTANT: always wear both supports simultaneously in your shoes to ensure the same leg length. Once the acute symptoms subside the supports should be used alternately (e.g. every 2 hours) as you see fit and not worn gradually to accustom the tendon to normal loads.
Wearing directions
In principal, the support can be worn all day. However, this depends on how comfortable the support is to wear. The support should be taken off for longer breaks (e.g. sitting for a long time or a long car drive, sleeping). If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off the product immediately and contact your doctor or specialized shop. The support is suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out the product thoroughly.

The versatile grey leather strap combined with silver crown and white face gives the watch a clean elegant look. This gorgeous accessory will add a sophisticated finish to any workday or casual look alike. We assure you this piece will remain a timeless part of your wardrobe for years to come!
Care & Info a)Give your Votch a little clean and polish twice a week with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. b)Keep your Votch off any loud speakers or refrigerators. These appliances have an extremely strong magnetic field and could harm your Votch. c) Always make sure the crown is fully pushed in – a tiny piece of dust can get in to the smallest of gaps and make it's way to the mechanism. d)Be kind to your Votch , daily wear can easily cause tear and scratches. e)Whilst you're not wearing your Votch keep it tucked away in the pouch that it came with.
GOLD PLATING Votch uses the best gold and rose gold plating available, but it is in the nature of plating that it can corrode and wear off in time. We strongly recommend that you keep your watch away from anything that may encourage this, such as moisturizers, lotions, oils and perfumes. We would recommend that you take your watch off whilst applying any of these to make sure contact is avoided. The gold and rose gold plating may fade over time, depending on general wear and how much you take care of your watch. If you would like your watch to be replated, many local jewelers will offer this service for you. Plating is not covered by your warranty. Our watches have standard batteries and the average life expectancy for a battery is 12 months. Changing the battery without the correct tools can damage the metal and delicate parts in the watch. Please don't attempt to open the case back yourself as this can invalidate the warranty. We always recommend taking your Votch to a local jewelers for battery replacements.
VEGAN LEATHER STRAPS Our straps are made from vegan leather, to ensure no animals were harmed in the production of your Votch. We recommend you keep your strap away from oils and creams to prolong its life. Exposure to water, oil, make up and creams will stain your vegan strap. If you would like to obtain a replacement strap for your watch at any time, please contact us at email@example.com and we will be able to help you. We recommend that any strap replacements are handled by a local jewelers to ensure they are installed correctly. Please note straps are not covered by your warranty.
CONDENSATION If your watch experiences a sudden change of temperature a small bit of condensation may appear under the glass (especially when held by a kettle whilst making a cuppa). Fear not, this generally will disappear after a few days if it is left alone to get better. Please don't attempt to dry it out, as the issue should rectify itself.
British brand Votch is a 100% cruelty-free company designing timeless and elegant vegan leather watches. Votch, a portmanteau of "vegan" and "watch", is the brainchild of Laura Stageman, a vegan herself.Quality and ethics lie at the heart of Votch and they ensure each watch is comprised of high-end components and that creation of each timepiece doesn't cause harm to any animals, human or the planet. The company is also committed to giving back by sharing a percentage of the profit with a charity every 3 months.

Work is called work for a reason – it's not really meant to be enjoyed – and that's the unfortunate starting point for most of us before landing a gig we're truly passionate about. But until you get there, you must weather the storm.
So how exactly are you supposed to stay focused and motivated when you're just not feeling it, but there's no clear exit? Despite feeling stuck, look at the bright side and focus on the little things you can do to make it that much more livable. Here are ways you can reinvent inspiration in your workplace:
#1. Reflect on where you've been.
Stop thinking about how much longer you have to go and what lies ahead. Instead, focus on the here & now – the journey that led you to where you are at this instance and how hard you worked for it. Remember that you need to be alive in your journey as you're en route to the next chapter. This is a simple admonition to work hard and stay focused so you can enjoy the fruits of your efforts later.
#2. Find a mentor.
It's always easier to stay inspired when you meet someone full of energy and inspiring. Fortunately, in any organization, there is always at least one influential person who exudes nothing but positivity. Find that person and allow them to mentor you. A mentor can help navigate you through the difficulties you encounter in your career and shine perspective where it isn't so visible. You'll easily absorb their wisdom and vitality. (Side Note: A mentor can be formal or informal. You can also have multiple mentors – take advantage of that.)
#3. Make new office friends.
Get out of your cube and talk to new people. You might actually meet your next BFF. You can do this through attending company-wide networking events, onsite classes, or just introducing yourself at meetings. We all know that an unpleasant work week is more tolerable when you're surrounded by great company.
#4. Actually go to lunch.
Leave the office and run out to lunch. A quick whiff of fresh air, glimpse at nature, and contact with the sun can make all the difference. And no better way to top that off than with great food and human interaction.
#5. Start a tradition.
If you're finding your office or team environment quite dull, spice it up a little. Celebrate each others' birthdays with homemade cupcakes, a mini breakfast of coffee and bagels, or a sweet afternoon snack. Try a once-a-month potluck or themed apparel to get your engagement up. You might just catch yourself jumping out of bed to do your share of fun.
#6. Create an inspiring environment.
Decorate your office! What perfect timing with Christmas just around the corner. Add some gusto with photos of your loved ones, a mood board that inspires you, sentimental pieces, and decor that lifts your mood.

Over the years I've become a late-blooming hip hop head. There are some folks who can give you the time, the place and the name of the sandwich they were eating when the very first rap recording in history ever came out (for the record, I'm not 100% sure where to find the answer to that query). Either way I've really come to develop a great love, respect and admiration for the artform…and I've got my public library to thank for that.
What? There's no rapping in libraries! Wouldn't you get kicked out if you tried to break dance on a table? That's not exactly what I meant, but nonetheless I've been able to explore the music of a wide variety of artists here at DCPL (Spoil-Sport Alert: most if not all of the library's collection of rap albums are edited…so if you listen to rap just for profanity you may be a bit let down). In addition to the Library's quite impressive collection of hip hop music, there are also incredible books here about the history and origins of hip-hop culture, the artform of rap music, and its impact on the world at large.
One incredible glimpse into the world of hip hop music is the book Decoded by Jay-Z, one of hip-hop's most prolific, critically-acclaimed and widely recognized artists. His book is more than a biography of his life and times but it is also a compelling and insightful tribute to a genre of music that continues to expand and evolve. Reading Decoded has inspired me to give Jay-Z's music a second listen (and to reach into his back catalog for some of his earliest music). It's worth noting that this is the first book that I've ever read in digital format—I read it on my iPhone using the Kindle app and checked it out in eBook format through the Library's digital downloads page. It was an appropriate way to read this book—all the better to listen to Jay-Z's music while reading about the experiences and the culture that inspired his lyrics. Reading his book has given me a greater appreciation for his talents as a lyricist and an artist. Also I've been inspired to check out the other great hip-hop artists name-checked by Jay in this book—as icons, contemporaries or, in some cases, as rivals.
In addition to Decoded, the Library has an extensive collection of books exploring the artform of rap music and hip hop culture. To list all that the Library has to offer would take more time and space than I've got here but there are a few that I'd like to mention here:
Know What I Mean? Reflections on Hip Hop by Michael Eric Dyson: I truly enjoyed the great critical analysis and earnest insight on hip hop music and culture that Dyson offers in his book.
Beats, Rhymes and Life: What We Love And Hate About Hip Hop edited by Kenji Jasper and Ytasha Womack: This is a really good compilation of essays by hip hop journalists and notable writers. Like the aforementioned Dyson, the editors of Beats, Rhymes and Life are hip hop fans, writing passionately and openly about an artform that they cherish.
Other People's Property: A Shadow History Of Hip Hop In White America by Jason Tanz: Author Jason Tanz explores the opportunities and implications of hip hop music's journey from the inner city to Middle America in this fascinating book.

Memorial Lutheran's constant awareness of our Lord's "Great Commission" to "preach the Gospel to all nations" gives us the strong desire to fulfill this command by focusing on those in spiritual need outside our own community.
For over 66 years our congregation has supported the work of missions through our church District Office and Synod. In addition we have adopted individual missionaries and mission projects funded through offerings and donations.
Mexico Mission
Since the 1980's, the congregation has become more personally involved in missions by sending short-term missionaries to Mexico to witness our faith, hold Vacation Bible School classes for the children, and help construct churches, schools, homes and a Youth Center. The Mexico Mission efforts have been coordinated with other Lutheran churches in the area, who gladly work and serve together to minister to the impoverished people of Mexico. If you have any questions about our Mission work - you can contact the church office.

My guess is that most people would admit that our society does not actively encourage patience. Massive debt comes often at the expense of patiently saving for what we want to buy. Relationship instability can result from each party's impatience with the other. Atheism grows out of impatience with the failures of religion (and perceived failures of God). When was the last time you waited for the newspaper to arrive to get your news?
My greatest struggle with patience comes from a fear that if I wait too long, I will lose precious time. While there are positives to this approach towards life, it can lead to some damaging consequences if taken too far. In the Besora of Luke, Shimon is the first person to touch Yeshua aside from Miryam and Yosef. We don't know much about him other than he was a righteous man who yearned for God's Kingdom. He merited to hold the Messiah in his arms for some specific reason we may never know. Nevertheless, I can't help but wonder if he merited to do so because he really was waiting and yearning with the willingness to act out of faith in God all at once.
I must admit that I do not think my patience is challenged anywhere nearly as much for my lack of acceptance of what I do not have. Sometimes this is because yearnings can be expressed in the wrong ways. It seems like plenty of people knew that Shimon was going to persist until he saw the Messiah. Yet he did so with the eyes to see Messiah come with patience and complete fervor. He was not a man tapping his toes impatiently saying, "…okay, God…how about now!" He was both patient and eager. Strikingly, he didn't encounter Yeshua coming in all of his glory. He encountered Yeshua as a baby with nothing but dreams and hopes bundled in blankets. Yet it was enough for Shimon to see the birth of his people's great hope. This can be instructive for us. Maybe if we had our eyes open to see the birth of our dreams we would be more eager for, and patient in, their coming.
Not all yearnings are good, but many of them are, or they can become so if we yearn for them properly. Patience can only grow when the yearning is balanced and productive. May we all merit to yearn constructively so that we too may hold our dreams with joy as Shimon held the Messiah in his arms.
