text: Stephen, As I said before I am not sufficiently familiar with the IETF to comment on its internal processes. However, the IETF is presented (and most of those involved appear to enthusiastically welcome its role) as a significant element in, and even exemplar of multistakeholderism where MSism is the preferred modality for public policy making in an Internet Governance context. Issues of conflict of interest, lobbyist registration/transparency, suborning of processes etc. would thus need to apply with the IETF equally as elsewhere unless of course traditional concerns for ensuring that the public interest is foremost in public policy making is seen as no longer relevant in the midst of MSist "enhanced democracy". How precisely this could/should be done in the overall context of MSism and specifically the IETF (or whatever) would seem to me to be a rather basic element in any useful plan for the implementation of MSism which goes beyond memes and slogans. This BTW is something whose presentation I have been waiting on with considerable anticipation for a very long time.

Michael, >From the IETF perspective you can rest fairly easy thanks to the long existing level of transparency. Again, go look at the mail archives and see if you can find any interesting correlations between sponsorships and IETF decision making. If you do, I'm sure that those would be treated as great input for how to improve our processes. And no, I'm not claiming perfection. Anyone with money can pay a consultant to work on their behalf and that is not always transparent. That has come up in the IETF in IPR discussions and we've landed where we are in terms of requiring IPR disclosures to be made in some circumstances. (I don't recall all the arguments as they apply in consultant cases to be honest but you can find 'em.) I also don't recall if anyone has suggested extending that kind of disclosure requirement to more than IPR, but if you or someone wants to suggest that go right ahead if you're willing to do the work. (And there is work involved in figuring out a sensible proposal for that kind of thing out and plenty more work in getting rough consensus for your proposal.) But *please* don't bother to try take the tack of suggesting licensing, or registration or requiring government permission before one can contribute to the IETF. That would a) not fly and b) would be plain dumb:-) S.

Yesterday while mowing in the back near the wilderness garden, I was suddenly enveloped by a breeze driven cloud of sweet pleasant scent. Following the scent led me to this shrub alongside the lane. The source of the scent had been found. In the decade and one half that we have owned this land, this shrub has kept its delightful fragrance a secret from us. This is a busy time of year for us so perhaps we just missed the sweet blossoms. Our last frost this year was May 10th and that is uncommon here. Later frosts may have damaged flower buds making past blooms uncommon. We are pleased to have just discovered this sweet smelling bush.
A search of our books has failed to identify this shrub. Our fields are filling with a type of Japanese honeysuckle shrub that is likely an escape from past nursery trade. The mystery shrub shares some similarities with the honeysuckles but it also displays differences. Deep tubular heavily scented flowers are an obvious difference. Why knowing the name of a plant increases the pleasure derived from it is a bit of a mystery. It should be enough just to stand near these sweet flowers but we would like to identify this plant by name. Can anyone help?

[Released] Launch an external temperature sensor for the Smart Radiator Thermostats
All we need is to be able to use any external sensor through Smartthings for example.... I have 5 multipurpose sensors on windows, and a PIR sensor, all which have temperature sensors built in (btw I find those expensive at 25€ each, and that's still 70% cheaper than the ridiculous Tado sensor). So I have 6 temperature sensors around my house, plus 7 Tado TRVs, total 13 temperature sensors around my house, that cannot be used to control temperature because Tado decides they want to screw their current customers by not allowing 3rd party integration (Smartthings, hubitat, home assistant), and charge 80 euro for a stupid temperature sensor you already have around... They are using the same strategy as Apple. "It works, but just if you use our stuff, for 3x the price it should cost", except their "ecosystem" is not an ecosystem, is just a couple TRVs and an overpriced sensor, that can't be integrated with anything...1
If you have vertical TRV's have a look at this thread for getting accurate TRV readings without buying the overpriced sensor.
I have brought some and can confirm a vast improvement in temp accuracy.0
I been snooping around, there is at least one other brand that delivers the same. That is Comap, base price is about the same. Danfoss indeed delivers and angled one, from M30 to Danfoss, that would require an adapter, but could be price efficient.0
spennis ✭+1 Give us a simple and cheap temperature sensor. Not one with fancy temperature settings, just a simple one (one AAA or AA battery). I don't want my kids to fiddle with the temperature settings, which is inevitable on the current (and expensive!) temp sensor.2
It say released at this topic. What is released? I can't find it!0
@alterego The Tado "Wireless Temperature Sensor": https://www.tado.com/gb-en/wireless-temperature-sensor-overview0
Ok thanks. I was hoping for a < 50 euro solution. It's 70 now.0
I was trying to upvote this proposal, but seems to be closed. Why I cannot upvote it?0
@RamonCar Because Tado's solution has been to launch the Tado "Wireless Temperature Sensor": https://www.tado.com/gb-en/wireless-temperature-sensor-overview0
After the overwhelming call for a smaller, cheaper Wireless Temperature Sensor, I have opened a request here: https://tado.vanillacommunities.com/en-gb/discussion/8235/release-a-smaller-cheaper-wireless-temperature-sensor-for-the-smart-radiator-thermostats/
If you'd like to see Tado do this, go ahead and vote!2
Thanks, @jcwacky , done!
If you agree I will share this link in the spanish tado forum for users to concentrate on one thread. I think we're not
so takenn into account.1
@RamonCar Of course! I wasn't even aware there was a Spanish forum!0
Just came across this so thought I would post a comment to say I have been working on this too. Spammed in a few places, hoping it helps
I use Home Assistant so have targeted that as a solution and did a PR to PyTado and to HA Tado integration. So now the offset can be updated via automations in Home Assistant and I wrote an automation for it as a kind of template for anyone using Home Assistant to copy and paste, which manages all devices in the house (including a battery saver option).
My Home Assistant automation write up is here: https://github.com/north3221/home-assistant-config
It was discussed on Home Assistant here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tado-integration-put-offset/175964
and here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/battery-level-and-temperature-offset-for-tado/81068
If you are not using Home Assistant, you could still take advantage of the PyTado library: https://github.com/wmalgadey/PyTado
I use the aqara temp sensors, which I got for about £8 each on Aliexpress, but you can get any temp sensor you want that works with HA6
100% in agreement that Tado° must release an INEXPENSIVE remote temperature sensor. The current €80 "solution" is a sick money grab :-(0
I'm very happy with Tado overall
What are you happy with?
For me, I only have radiators, and this product is a complete failure.
The *only thing* this product really needs to do is adjust a valve based on temperature readings. But the temperature readings are way off, so the product cannot function.
But I would need to pay 100 euro each for a temperature sensor for each room. So that 180 euros per room.
Philips Hue offer a temperature/light sensor for 30 euros.0
What are you happy with?
My original starter kit also had the Smart Thermostat in it, so in this room, coupled with the SRTs I was very happy with how it all worked, plus the app etc.
If you only have SRTs then I can understand why you aren't happy.
Since, I posted this original request I no longer use any (mounted) SRTs as temperature sensors. I bought a couple of 2nd hand Smart Thermostats on eBay, I use unmounted SRTs as temperature sensors in a couple of rooms, and have set rooms like bathrooms to passive (e.g. independent mode).
So I'm now very happy with my whole setup. But still disappointed that Tado still doesn't offer an affordable wireless temperature sensor for the SRTs.1
I use these adapters to off set the tado trvs from the radiator. I find this solves to inaccurate temperature reading and now my system works really well.
Oventrop 1011450 Angle Adaptor
Check eBay and Amazon of you want to try one.2
I bought three Tado temp sensors for 50 euro each which is reasonable. Had to go Black Friday plus energy company subsidy. This fixed three of my rooms.
But I have 6 rooms and it seems excessive.
My apartment entrance is currently at 23 degrees, but its actually 18.
@RichF Thanks for the tip! I will try that out.1
Its 31/01/2023 I have just bought some Tado TRV's and not happy with them after reading this post looks like tado external temp sensor is now £89.99 too expensive. I don't think there is any alternative solution? so I will be returning my TRV's and Tado system for full refund as this is not fit for purpose.0
Tado don't produce an External Temperature Sensor......?? 🤔0
They do
tado° Wireless Temperature Sensor - Wifi Add-On Product For Smart Radiator Thermostat - Digital Temperature Control For Active Heating Control - Easy DIY Installation - Save Energy and Heating Costs https://amzn.eu/d/aoE4EfT0
An "External Temperature Sensor" is a sensor that is attached to an outside north facing wall and is used for true Weather Compensation.........you have quoted a tado° (indoor) Wireless Temperature Sensor........0
@GrayDav4276 In the context of this topic (look at the title), I think we all know what @Jacopo2 was referencing. It's external to the Smart Radiator Thermostat.
And yes, @Jacopo2, they are still too expensive!0
My fault for not realising that this thread was never about an "External Temperature Sensor" and was actually about a Temperature Sensor as an additional device to be used in conjunction with a SRT..........I should have read your ( @jcwacky ) original post title better and would have therefore realised the point(s) being made.......my bad 👎
But if it helps.......I agree with both your comments( @jcwacky & @Jacopo2 )
Now having said all that.......as I am very likely to be removing my tado devices after this current Winter period......I think that I'll probably scale back my comments in this Forum.......after all...... most of my 1.7k comments made have fallen on tado°s deaf ears.
So.....apologies for missing your point........0
Kris247 ✭
There is a FREE/NO money costing work around for this.
What i suggest you to do:
1 Set your room temp at max
2 Measure your room temp with an external thermometer
3 Once your room temperature reaches your desired temperature (displayed on ext. thermometer)go to your tado room settings and read out temp for your room.
4 There will be an offset between tado readout and thermometer readout, use this offset to set up your room temp planning
5 do this for every room
Yes, 21C° room temp will not be exactly 21C°, but feeling warm/cold is a feeling not exact science, so a degree/half degree more or less is in my opinion not an issue.
Just understand you'll have to work with an offset. It'll give you some headaches in the beginning but trust me after a while you'll get used to used to it.0
That doesn't work @Kris247. Offset was applied always, also when the system is turned off by temperature. It was discussed here A LOT of times.0

Is Gwen Stefani Encouraging Blake Shelton to Go Vegan?
The Voice star Blake Shelton has not been shy about his weight loss goals, and his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, might be helping him along. The No Doubt frontwoman follows a vegan diet for the most part, and an inside source says that her preferences are starting to rub off on the country crooner. But what are the chances that Shelton goes full vegan?
Inside Blake Shelton's new diet plan
Shelton has been vocal about losing weight and living a healthier life, though he has yet to cut out meat from his diet.
Stefani, on the other hand, has publicly told Shelton that going vegan is the best way to shed some of those extra pounds. And an inside source now claims that she hasn't stopped encouraging Shelton behind-the-scenes.
According to Raise Vegan, a source says that Gwen Stefani told Shelton that the best way to lose weight is to stop eating meat and carbs. We do not know how Shelton reacted to the comment, but it has worked for Stefani so far.
"Gwen's told him the way to lose it is to stay the hell away from meat and bad carbs," the insider dished.
As fans are well aware, Gwen Stefani eats a vegan diet most of the time, which she credits as being the source of her healthy living. It also helps, of course, that Stefani exercises on the regular, something that also helps her keep the weight off.
Stefani is not the only celebrity who swears by the vegan diet. Avengers: Endgame star Benedict Cumberbatch follows a strict plant-based diet that got him in the best shape of his life to play Doctor Strange.
Zac Efron has also talked about his vegan diet and claims that it has changed his entire body.
The secret to Gwen Stefani's youthful look
Between performing in front of thousands to starring on The Voice, Stefani takes her body image very seriously. To help her maintain her youthful look, the pop star keeps to some strict daily routines.
This includes staying away from the sun at all costs. Whenever she ventures outside, Stefani makes sure she has plenty of UV protection, especially on her face.
She also takes off her makeup every single night to freshen her pores and keep them clean while she sleeps. While Stefani wears a lot of makeup for the cameras, she actually does it herself.
Speaking of makeup, the singer usually opts for the drug-store varieties over purchasing fancy products. Her favorite brand of all time is Revlon, which is actually pretty surprising.
After a hard day's work, Gwen Stefani makes sure she gets plenty of sleep, even when her schedule gets hectic. This helps her maintain a healthy glow throughout the day and gets her mornings started off just right.
What about her workout regime?
Makeup and sleep aside, Stefani is passionate about her diet and workout schedule.
Stefani has eaten a plant-based diet since she was a young girl and has been following it ever since. She does not always eat full vegan, but she does tend to stay away from the meats when possible.
Blake Shelton, on the other hand, is pretty much the opposite. But if he is serious about losing weight, there is a chance he will adopt some of Stefani's eating habits.
When it comes to her workouts, Stefani previously revealed that she hits the gym around four times a week.
Her workout sessions typically last anywhere between an hour to half an hour, depending on what she is targeting that day.
In a past interview, Gwen Stefani's former trainer, Mike Heatlie, revealed that she loves doing cardio and HIIT training, which involves doing various exercises without taking a break between sets.
Stefani's new trainer, Gunnar Peterson, is also big on cardio and believes doing whole-body exercises is key to burning more calories in a short period of time.
It is unclear how many times Shelton goes to the gym, but we have a feeling Stefani is pushing him on that front as well.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are currently competing against each other on season 17 of The Voice, which airs Monday and Tuesday nights on NBC.

The Jewish National Fund (also known as Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael) (JNF-KKL) is a fundraising organization founded in 1901 by Theodor Herzl to secure ownership of land in Palestine for the Jewish people from the Ottoman Empire. The Jewish National Fund's original goal with this reclaimed land was to create collective worker's communities that could sustain themselves through agricultural means, even in the most desolate and inhospitable parts of the country. As the Jewish National Fund's funding grew, so did their involvement in other facets of cultural improvement, such as creating major city structures, financing the expenses of Jewish scientists, and founding institutions of higher education. By partnering with Hadassah in the 1920s, both groups were able to provide additional services.
Over the years [1930s-2000s], the collaborative efforts between the Jewish National Fund and Hadassah evolved accordingly. Initiatives were created to assist displaced persons of war, to provide respite for children affected by war in the form of summer camps, to improve water conservation efforts through the creation of dams and artificial bodies of water, and to continue to create forests.
Jewish National Fund: Our History and Leadership
3 Linear Feet (6 manuscript boxes)
The Jewish National Fund records reflect the non-profit organization's afforestation efforts in Israel in funding partnership with Hadassah. Included in this collection are personnel records, membership lists, and convention summaries, as well as correspondence, project documentation, and publications such as press releases, and magazines.
The records of the Jewish National Fund are arranged in four series by category. Due to the small size of this collection, the use of subseries has been waived in favor of detailed folder-level descriptions.
Physical Location
Located in AJHS New York, NY
Previous Finding Aids and Concordance
There was no previous finding aid for this collection. Original boxes 3 and 4 contained rough inventories. All original folder titles and corresponding box numbers are listed in a concordance, which is available here:http://digital.cjh.org/3496849
Acquisition Information
The Hadassah Archives, of which the Jewish National Fund Records (RG 9) are a part, are on long-term deposit at the American Jewish Historical Society.
Separated Material
Several photographs have been removed from this collection and into RG18. Several folders of documents have been removed from this collection and reorganized into other collections. Pamphlets have been transferred to RG 17 in 1997; several essays have been transferred to the Subject Folder and the Library. Locations of these photographs and documents are listed in their corresponding series notes.
Processing Information
Since the 1920s, Hadassah has funded five distinct projects in Palestine/Israel. This record group, originally named RG 9—Other Projects, now contains only the records of the project of Hadassah's involvement with the Jewish National Fund, and was accordingly renamed in 2016.
There was no previous finding aid created for these records, but description from two container lists was reused and incorporated into the 2016 finding aid. Some series description along with collection-level notes pertaining to acquisition, processing, access and use, and related material were added as well. Overall, the boxes were consolidated to save space and reduce damage to the material. Some boxes were replaced and nonarchival folders were also replaced.
Although the original box labels reflect a simple, streamlined organization for this record group, the folders within were not as clear, and in places did not accurately reflect their contents at all. In the case of the original folder titled Material regarding Hadassah's financial support, the documents represented two very different administrative components. They were separated for usability and now reside in the folders Administrative Materials—Personnel—Ussushkin, Menachem, 1938-1940 and Projects—Emergency land restrictions, 1939-1940.
Many of the folders also contain abbreviations such as AC (Accounting), AD (Administration), and PO (Programs). These abbreviations are consistent across other Hadassah collections and were used as the backbone for this collection's current organization to better illustrate the breadth of materials within. Any original label abbreviations are included in the concordance.
Folders have been renamed only when original titles were minimal or did not accurately represent the contents within. Pertinent original folder notation has been included in folder-level scope notes.
As of March 2016, additional files were added from the papers of D. Kaplan. A list of the relevant folders are listed in the concordance.

Back in the early 40's this watch was conceived as a tool. The "sector" graphics of the dial had basically a practical purpose. This example clearly shows us how, with just a glance, our visual perception is guided to read the different reading "Sectors".
Starting from the outer Telemetric Scale in blue, then a rose galvanic ring which, with a change of tone, introduces to the 60 minute scale. With a fourth change of tone, we have the hours displayed in a thick black ring which connects the hour markers. At last, a concentric snail scale in blue. Hands match the blue/black aesthetics of the dial.
The result is simply stunning! I have a special thing about this graphic, about this period, and mostly, about the understated uniqueness of objects conceived eighty years ago and still so incredibly avant-garde. The large flat bezel, and the mint case condition expands the perceived dimension of it's 38 mm diameter and the original glass crystal gives it an incredible light.
In my opinion this is an extraordinary example of vintage Rolex chronograph that can satisfy even the most demanding collector.

Once your macaroni salad is done, you can eat it as is or have it as a side dish with something else. It's particularly delicious with steak skewers, baked chicken legs, pulled pork or smoked chicken wings. DELICIOUS!!
Storing Leftover Macaroni Salad
Any leftovers can be refrigerated and saved as a snack or lunch for the next day. This recipe should stay good for 3-5 days after making it.
Can you Freeze Macaroni Salad?
Yes, you can! You can either freeze everything separately (pasta, chopped veggies and dressing) and store up to 5 days or you can make the whole thing and freeze any leftovers you have for the same amount of time. Make sure to seal in an airtight container to keep things fresh.
Something to make sure you do is thaw in the fridge. This can take up to three hours so plan ahead! If you don't do this, bacteria is more likely to grow on your food. Gross.
Perfect for Potlucks and BBQ's
If making this recipe for a large group of people, or a party, make sure to double the recipe so everyone can have a taste of this stuff! You won't regret it and neither will they.
The texture and taste of this macaroni salad make it seriously the best. Its creaminess and freshness are hard to resist and at any BBQ or potluck, you aren't going to go home with leftovers. It is THAT good.
If macaroni or pasta-based salad isn't your summer salad of choice, here are a few other delicious options: coleslaw, cucumber salad, broccoli salad, southwest chicken chop salad.

In Sydney, more and more people are becoming conscious of their water consumption. Apart from aiming to save on your water bill, reducing your water consumption will also benefit the environment. This article lists down some of the simplest things that you can do to reduce your water consumption, save on your water bill, and help the environment too.
Check your plumbing system for any leaks
One of the primary things that you can do to reduce your water consumption is to check your plumbing system for any leaks. In this case, it is a good idea to get in touch with a seasoned professional plumber who will be able to help you conduct a thorough inspection, making sure that there is no leak missed. A reliable blocked drain plumber will not only check your toilets and taps but will most likely go over your pipes as well.
Take a shorter shower
Another thing that you can do to reduce your water consumption is to take a shorter shower than you normally do. In doing so, you will already have the chance to save gallons of water in a single minute. It will also be a good idea to take a bath instead, filling your tub to only a partially full level.
Turn off the water when soaping your hands or brushing your teeth
When you are washing your hands, make sure to turn off the tap when you are still soaping. Only open it up when you are ready to rinse. This should also be the case when you are brushing your teeth. As much as possible, only open the tap when you are ready to rinse your mouth.
Use your washer only for full loads
Finally, try to only use your dishwasher or washing machine for full loads. The reason behind this is that regardless of the load you put into your machine, the water that you use up tends to be the same. Hence, to save gallons of water, use these appliances for full loads only.
The Bottomline
There are several things that you can do to lower your water consumption such as checking your plumbing system for leaks or taking shorter showers. You should also turn off the tap while you are soaping your hands or brushing your teeth. It is also a good idea to only use your washer for full loads. All these are geared towards ensuring that you will have a lower water consumption, leading to a reduced water bill.

The center of any important travel experience is the association that we create with others and societies as we visit different grounds. Travel obliges us to leave our usual range of familiarity and progress into the obscure, permitting us to be open towards investigation and, at last, revelation. Aside from the delights of going with friends and family and family, ladies are progressively perceiving the advantages of going with one another.
The demonstration of "associating" is unmistakably more impressive for ladies than simply conveying, drawing in or in any event, organizing. It is tied in with finding a typical connection and reason, and discovering that you are in the same spot intellectually and inwardly. So for what reason is the demonstration of "associating" to one another so essential to ladies and what are the advantages?
A milestone UCLA study proposes that kinships between ladies are exceptional, however they shape who the ladies are and what their identity is yet to be. Associating with other ladies fills passionate holes and checks the pressure that the greater part of us experience consistently. Truth be told, this investigation speculates that ladies have a bigger collection of reactions than simply "battle or flight". The discoveries of the report guarantee that when the hormone oxytocin is delivered as a component of the pressure reactions in a lady, it cushions the 'battle or flight' reaction and urges her to watch out for youngsters and assemble with other ladies. At the point when she really participates in the tending or become a close acquaintence with, contemplates recommend that our bodies discharge more oxytocin, which further counters pressure and creates a quieting impact. This quieting reaction doesn't happen in men. Apparently,Testosterone, which men produce in elevated levels when they're under pressure, appears to decrease the impacts of oxytocin, while Estrogen appears to upgrade it. In this manner, it is protected to state that ladies associating with other ladies gives the mending and supporting expected to adapt to the worries of day by day living, permitting her to live better.
Notwithstanding the way that fellowships with other ladies can be so useful, ironicly this is the principal thing that ladies surrender when they get going with work or potentially family. This is the place putting time aside to go with similar ladies can be priceless. The advantages of movement, and how they can affect ladies voyaging together, are as per the following:
Travel offers a lot of chance to quiet the brain, which definitely prompts bits of knowledge. We can quiet the brain as we journey across mountains or a wonderful open country, look at a lovely dawn or nightfall. Quietness supports our instinctive limit, permitting us to arrive at new degrees of mindfulness and knowledge. Recording the bits of knowledge in a diary grapples our musings, and we can do this consummately all alone. Notwithstanding, having the option to share our contemplations and bits of knowledge thereafter with other ladies can shape the start of a continuous unfurling. For ladies, this can mean finding down to earth answers for issues, or increasing significant help while changing life bearings at urgent minutes.
Travel offers us the chance to be moved by excellence. Excellence is subtle, exceptionally close to home, its effect flighty, but then it is as vital to our human endurance as Oxygen. It is recuperating, regenerative and inspiring as it permits us to put our agonies and issues aside. It causes us to prevail with regards to overlooking ourselves and getting practically honest. Through movement and investigating the world, we make ourselves accessible to encounter excellence.
Travel urges us to develop. The investigation of our reality brings about a far more prominent affectability to the battles of individuals as a rule. Through this procedure, we start to place our own carries on with into point of view. For ladies voyaging together, this gives an ideal scenery to shared contemplations, encounters and emotions. This makes a wellspring of help and quality for some ladies who might not have this in their own lives or in the work place.
Travel energizes the creative mind. Without the confinements of our everyday lives, go permits our psyches to meander free and investigate without limits. Unhindered by past encounters and without prohibitions, being in the organization of similarly invested ladies can prompt extremely ground-breaking conceptualizing and wellsprings of motivation.
Travel satisfies our longing for Unity. It is intuitive for people to look for association with bigger units, as we wish to take an interest in something that we see as being more prominent than our individual selves. Travel energizes a feeling of solidarity with all creatures wherever as we gain a feeling that we as a whole offer in a similar predetermination. For ladies who might be single, or are experiencing a separation or partition, going with a gathering of ladies may give them a feeling of being a piece of something more prominent, along these lines expanding a feeling of solidarity and lessening any sentiments of void or detachment.
As ladies, we have would in general make light of the significance of companionships with other ladies, maybe seeing it as additional as a guilty pleasure. But then the sustaining, quality and bolster that it can give us in our regular day to day existences proposes that it is, truth be told, essential for our prosperity. Putting the time aside to go with similarly invested ladies is a perfect method to bring the equalization of brain, body, and soul once more into our lives.
So women, put that time in a safe spot and book that movement involvement in other similarly invested ladies. Saving the time and focusing on it will bring about righteous time away from your family or employments and permit continuous quality time for yourself and the holding that happens when ladies get together. It is sound, supporting and engaging.

Today, a few former patients and crew members returned the favor by coming together to show their appreciation for the lifesaving service that was the first of its kind in Texas, and the second such program in the nation.

It has been eleven years since Oscar Marinetti opened his first Eataly Turin Lingotto, and his idea of spreading the word about Slow Food has been so successful that he opened new restaurants and outlets all over the world. Every year January 25th sees great celebrations at Eataly and this year the major event was held in Eataly Rome, where eleven agri-chefs gave proof of the scrumptious variety of regional traditional dishes from all over Italy. Agri-chefs cook mostly with the products grown in their 'agriturismi' – holiday farms – and, being very much connected with their own local traditional cuisine, they are the maximum representatives of the Slow Food concept.
Celebrations started at 5.30pm with the cutting of the cake made by 'Pasticceria Linari', which has been offered to the public present, along with a fresh glass of bubbles from the well-stocked Eataly's wine cellar. The party continued in the Eataly restaurants that hosted the eleven of the best agri-chef from all over Italy and from the areas hit by the 2016 earthquakes which, despite the difficulties, have continued their activity. They all brought original and revisited traditional rural dishes and regional recipes made with seasonal products strictly from their own territory and production.
These the guess stars of the birthday celebration: for Piedmont, 'Agriturismo Punto Verde Ponti' in Ponti (AL); for Lombardy, 'Agriturismo Cascina Carolina' in Garlasco (PV); for Tuscany, 'Agriturismo Villa Caprareccia' in Bibbona (LI); for Abruzzo, 'Agriturismo Capodacqua' in Montegualtieri – Cermignano (TE); for Campania, 'Agriturismo Collina di Roseto' in Contrada Roseto (BN); for Apulia, 'Agriturismo Gli Ulivi' in Marina Serra (LE); from Calabria, holiday farm 'Fattoria Biò' in Camigliatello Silano (CS); and for Sicily, 'Agriturismo Bergi' in Castelbuono (PA). A special mention goes to the three holiday farms hit by the 2016 earthquakes: for Marche, 'Agriturismo Villa Cicchi' in Abbazia di Rosara (AP); for Latium, holiday farm 'Lu Ceppe' in Cittareale (RI); and for Umbria, holiday farm 'Il Margine' from Norcia (PG).

By Emma Smith
Published November 28th, 2013/ theglobeandmail.com
"They weigh about the same as a bird and hover over accident scenes, a speck in the sky quietly filming a debris field for RCMP, sending officers close-ups of skid marks and anything else an operator deems relevant.
The camera-equipped drones, resembling a toy helicopter, are cheap to use, portable and compact to haul and efficient, taking off quickly and climbing up to 8,000 feet. They've become essential tools for officers in search-and-rescue missions in several provinces, from Ontario and the Northwest Territories to British Columbia, where officers in the Okanagan are hoping to get theirs soon.
But like their larger, war-zone counterparts, the RCMP drones have prompted criticism and worry from civil liberties advocates who say the RCMP has been making to the skies without public consultation.
"Don't refer to these as drones, because they're not," said Corporal Green from the Saskatoon RCMP. "We just don't do surveillance. We're not going down that road."
Cpl. Green, a forensic collision reconstructionist, said the device provides an enhanced way of looking at things, and was likely responsible for saving a man's life in May. A 25-year-old man had rolled his car off the road near Saskatoon and had wandered into a wooded field wearing a T-shirt in freezing weather.
"By the time the dog would have found the track and then been able to track him, it would have been too late," said Cpl. Green in a telephone interview.
"We would have been into a body recovery."
Instead, the RCMP launched a Draganflyer X4-ES, which located the man using infrared technology.
Constable Robert McDonald with Lower Mainland traffic services in the Vancouver area says the devices are deployed when lives are at risk.
"We could use [drones] … in serious conditions, for example if there was somebody who was barricaded and we needed a better aerial view of where the person would be," he said.
As of 2010, the latest figures are available, the RCMP had 18 so-called UAVs – unmanned aerial vehicles – spread across the country, including in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and Ontario.
The RCMP E Division in B.C. owns four UAVs that are located in the Lower Mainland, the Southeast, the Island and the North.
But Michael McEvoy, assistant commissioner at the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for B.C., said the RCMP's use of drones raises serious concerns.
The privacy commission doesn't have jurisdiction over the RCMP in British Columbia, but Mr. McEvoy said his office was approached by provincial RCMP, who explained how UAVs were going to be used.
"[The RCMP] has to ensure that they're not unnecessarily collecting information, and frankly surveilling people," Mr. McEvoy said.
Mr. McEvoy's biggest concern is "scope creep," which means the possibility that drones could be used for something other than what they were initially planned for.
Micheal Vonn, policy director with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said so far, the public has been left out of the debate.
"There's no doubt drones have a bad name. There's a kind of instinctual suspicion," said Ms. Vonn. "The more the cover of stealth and secrecy is on this the more the public is going to add to its already not-very-rosy attitude towards these technologies."
UAVs are governed by Transport Canada, and require licences called Special Flight Operations Certificates (SFOCs), which limit how high UAVs can fly and where they can go. The licence also requires the device to be in full view of the person operating it, although users can request special permission to operate UAVs outside of these parameters.
The devices can cost anywhere from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand dollars."

Theodore unpacked his uniform from the suitcase. A heavy khaki shirt and olive breeches, tailored to endure the outdoors. He fastened the buttons in front of the dressing mirror, fixed his tie, and stared at himself. It was a strange comfort to see himself in the outfit again. Like he was back in his own skin.
He saw Oboe sidle up beside him in the reflection. She pressed a gentle hand against his back, her face pensive.
"Are you sure you're ready?"
Theodore pawed at his waist. The pain was there, but dull. Fairy magic worked fast when Fates were spent. "I'm sure," he said. There would be aches, but aches he could deal with.
"Well." Her smile was sly. "I don't think anyone would blame you for taking a few more days for yourself." She traced a finger down his back, sending a shiver up his spine.
"We've been gone long enough." Theodore gathered up his long hair and pinned it behind his head. "There's work to do."
"You're no fun!" Oboe flopped onto the bed and squirmed in mock upset. "Ugggh!!"
Theodore chuckled and checked himself in the mirror one last time. There was one piece missing. He picked the Ranger Deputy badge up off the dresser.
He turned. Oboe was lying in a tangle of sheets. She was staring up at the ceiling, her face serious.
"I'm sorry I made you fight," she said. "You didn't want to."
Theodore weighed the badge in his hand: A heavy eight-pointed star. Silver and iron, cold against his palm.
"I had to," he said.
"I know." She sat up. "That's why it wasn't fair. This isn't the life you wanted. You didn't want to be a knight. …Like your dad."
Theodore fixed the badge to his chest. "My father was just a man," Theodore said. "A creature like you or me. He made mistakes, but he did what he thought was right. That's what made him a knight." He turned to look at her. "I fought because it was the best way to help everyone. If that's what being a knight means, I suppose I don't mind so much now."
He snapped his suitcase shut and fastened the clasps. "Let's go home."
They left the Circle, and saw that Autumn had come to the Whirlwood. The trees were burned with golden yellows, vivid reds, and steadfast evergreens. A gentle wind breathed through the valley and sent leaves drifting around them. A warm sun shined through the thinning, tangled branches of the live oaks.
Oboe held his hand tight. There was something on her mind, so he asked her what it was.
"Do you think," she said. "That they'd let me be a knight too? A good one I mean. Like you?"
Theodore gave it careful thought. "I think it would be hard." He did not want to lie. "There'd be a lot of humans who wouldn't treat you right." He studied her. In her he saw the knight he wanted to be. "But I'm not sure that matters. I think you'd be good at it."
Something in her eyes solidified. Calcified like magic into shining stone. She nodded at him, resolute.
The trail passed through a copse of trees and arrived at the cottage. There was a big crowd of creatures waiting for them. Pookas, and birds, and shadow children, and trolls, and gnomes, and furies, and imps, and peskies, and sylph, and skeletons, and foxes, and goblins, and terrors, and trolls, and werewolves, and one big bear in the middle. They were neighbors and friends, the people of the Whirlwood. Every one of them had been waiting since the start of the crisis with some problem or another that needed the attention of the Ranger Deputy. They cheered and shoved and bickered and shouted all in excitement to see him.
Theodore and Oboe shared a weary but happy look with one another. The Ranger Deputy rolled up his sleeves.

Measurement Challenges within the Multi-Agency Ecosystem.
May 20, 2013
It's a rare brand that has all its marketing channels managed under one roof. Far more typical is the model where some channels are managed in-house, and others are managed by one or more ad agencies. Perhaps digital and traditional channels are at separate agencies, or brand marketing and direct-response marketing are similarly split. Or maybe different lines of business, business units, or geographic divisions engage with different sets of agency partners.
The result can be a measurement nightmare, made increasingly so by the number of channels and sources of performance data, as well as the infrastructure that may or may not be in place to normalize that data to a common set of apples-to-apples success metrics. All too often the following scenario plays itself out, resulting in extremely misinformed conclusions and misinformed media optimization decisions.
Frightening Example
The brand engages with three different agencies: one for search, one for display and one for affiliate. Over a given time period, each of these channels reports having been responsible for 200 conversions based on a "last click" measurement methodology. When this total of 600 conversions is compared to the brand's internal CRM system, it's found that it comes up 25 conversions short of the 625 figure recorded by the CRM system over the same period. So the missing 25 conversions are chalked up to "brand equity" – or conversions that were produced without the aid of any marketing initiative. The brand and its agencies go on to make their future media-buying decisions based on this information.
However, had the right centralized measurement technology and infrastructure been in place, it would have been found that 150 of the 625 were created by brand equity, 75 were produced by affiliates, 300 were produced by display and 100 were produced by search. So not only were the conversion figures that were based on last click just plain wrong, but they contained significant duplication (counting 600 conversions among them, when only 475 were produced). Obviously, brand strategists would make very different media-buying decisions – as well as assessments of the respective agencies' performance –based on this more accurate set of metrics.
So What's the Solution?
The solution is centralization of the measurement function. Whether it's within the brand organization itself, within the brand's agency of record, or via a contractor/consultant, there needs to be a single source of truth for holistic ecosystem measurement – preferably one without any "skin in the game" for the success of any channels it directly manages. This centralized resource would be responsible for implementing a measurement technology and putting a data collection/integration infrastructure in place, so that data coming from multiple agencies would be normalized to a common set of success metrics, de-duped and measured by fractionally attributed metrics, rather than last-click metrics.
Innovation is Happening, But Challenges Do Exist
Frankly, although agencies have been innovating and getting better at managing technology on behalf of their clients, they typically have difficulty attracting and retaining technology talent. As I discussed in my last column, some serious technology innovation, execution and scale are required to do the measurements right. Agencies also typically work on a model where they have to bill their clients against full-time employees dedicated to their account – which is tough to justify if the person's role is measurement infrastructure. There's also the real or imagined "fox guarding the hen house" concern over an agency responsible for some of your channels being the one that delivers the success metrics that it and your other agencies have produced.
Consider the options: in-house, contractor/consultant or a trusted centralized agency partner – but move toward centralization and integration of the marketing measurement function with all due haste. Those who don't are already at a competitive disadvantage to those who are getting there.

The ability to stay positive is one of the most important skills that you can develop. Why is this? The reason is because we will spend most of our lives setting and trying to achieve goals. Everyone has dreams. Everyone wants to know deep down inside that they were put here to do something great. The problem is that life is tough. The second you set a goal, obstacles will begin to appear to stand in your way. Most people let these challenges rob them from the life they really want. Most people will never be able to realize their dreams.
It's sort of hard to think positively after reading that isn't it? Sometimes the truth can sting a bit but it's also necessary to know. If you want to achieve greatness, if you want to experience the best life possible, then be prepared to get knocked down over and over. Staying positive during situations like this, is not easy. This explains why there are so many people who have stopped trying to reach their dreams.
So how do you remain positive regardless of what type of challenge you are facing? It all comes down to how you choose to respond to any situation as well as what you decide to focus on. No matter how bad your situation is, you can always find something good in it. So what you can do is start focusing on what is good. Even if you lost your job and you're about to be evicted from your home, you can still be positive. I'm not saying it's going to be easy though but think about the reason for taking this approach.
If you keep focusing on how bad you have it, how life is so hard, how you never get a break, how are things suppose to get any better? Is it possible to be positive and still have your circumstances get even worse? Of course it is. If this is true, why even bother thinking positively? The reason is because if you do, you have a chance to make things better. If you don't, things will usually get a lot worse.
Knowing how to be positive can help you overcome a lot of challenges that causes many others to fail. So what can you do? You can do things like read positive books or listen to songs with positive lyrics.
Realize that challenges are a part of life. Everyone will have to go through them. It's what makes reaching a goal worth it. If you were able to get everything you wanted without even trying, the victory wouldn't taste as sweet. Imagine playing a sport where you're going up against no one. You will win without even lifting a finger. How would winning feel? Now imagine going up against an extremely difficult opponent who pushes you to your limit. How would winning feel now?
When it comes down to it, being able to stay positive is a mindset. It's also a habit that you can develop. Instead of thinking, "Why me" when a challenge arises, say things like, "This just got interesting." Life is about overcoming obstacles. Learn to accept that fact. Once you do, staying positive in the face of great challenges will be a whole lot easier.

Can You Ruin Your Car By Giving Someone a Jump Start?
Nearly all drivers need their vehicles jump-started at least once. Maybe we accidentally leave the lights after we park, or the vehicle's battery needs replacement sooner than we think. There are plenty of tips on how to receive a jump start, but what if you're the good Samaritan and you've been asked for help? Naturally, you may be concerned about jump starting's effects on your own battery. This quick guide explains correct jump-starting procedures plus what NOT to do when you're jumping another vehicle.
Does Giving Someone a Jump Drain Your Battery?
Let's be clear about one thing: Proper jump starting does NOT harm your battery. But in order to do that, you must observe best practices when giving a jump. The key is to connect the jumper cables to both batteries in the correct order:
- First positive cable to positive terminal of dead battery
- Second positive cable to positive terminal of live battery
- First negative cable to negative terminal of live battery
- Second negative cable to clean unpainted piece of metal
You probably already know that red jumper cables are positive and black cables are negative. Many vehicle batteries follow the same pattern, with positive terminals marked red and negative terminals in black. If the terminals aren't colored, they may have color-coded post caps instead.
After hooking everything up, start the donor vehicle first. Then start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it turns over and starts, you're probably in good shape. Let the recipient's vehicle run while carefully disconnecting all four cables. The recipient vehicle should run for at least 15 minutes to build the battery's charge.
What Should You NOT DO When Jumping a Car?
You've now reviewed the proper way to jump a vehicle. It seems pretty easy, right? Unfortunately, drivers can make a few common mistakes during the process:
- Allowing both vehicles to touch each other
- Leaving accessories on, such as stereos and climate control
- Not ensuring that cable clamps and battery terminals are clean
- Turning off either vehicle during jumping
Running accessories takes up precious power needed by the donor vehicle's battery. Dirty terminals prevent the flow of power, and corroded posts indicate bigger battery problems. Having the vehicles touch is also a bad idea – you run the risk of burning out your own battery.
This next point is probably common sense, but it bears mentioning. Unless there is no other option available, avoid jumping a motorcycle with your vehicle. Motorcycle batteries are smaller and have much lower amperage than a car or truck battery. Besides voiding the motorcycle battery's warranty, you could end up damaging the battery, overloading the bike's electrical system, and burning out its starter.
What If the Other Vehicle Doesn't Start?
If you follow the proper steps and the recipient's vehicle still doesn't start, you may have bigger problems. Clicking noises during startup attempts can point to a faulty starter. Dimmed lights, trouble starting, and stalling after starting may indicate a failing alternator. There's also a chance that the other vehicle may have a car battery dead. No matter what the outcome, the other driver should take the vehicle to an auto parts retailer and get its battery tested.

Carob Products
Carob has a long history in human consumption. The first Mesopotamian writings mention them as a source for juices and sweets and compliments their culinary versatility. The oldest of them is "Gilgamesh Epic", one of the earliest known literary writings. The father of Botany, the Greek philosopher Theophrastus mentioned in his writings the carob as the Egyptian Fig. There is also evidence that Ancient Egyptians used carob, both the pods and seeds have been found in Egyptian Tombs. Further, the Romans ate the Carob pods when they were green and fresh for their natural sweetness. Thus, Carob is no newly discovered food. Carob pods are high in natural sugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose), the syrup was used, along with honey as sweeteners of those ancient times before the industrialization of sugar beet or cane. The syrup was used as a remedy against diarrhea and problems caused by starvation (modern studies have confirmed the validity of ancient statements). It is considered a natural source of calcium-calcium contents is 3 times higher than that of milk. It is also rich in iron, phosphorus and natural fibers.

Form 1098-T is used to help figure education credits for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the tax year. The Lifetime Learning Credit offers up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for all eligible students per return.
Form 1098-T is used to help figure education credits for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the tax year. Specifically, this form provides information regarding students' tuition expenses at a college or university. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires this information be disclosed to students who pay qualified fees, such as tuition.
If you currently work for an eligible educational institution, then you are able to file this form and send it to both the student in question and the Internal Revenue Service. Eligible educational institutions include colleges, universities, vocational schools, or other postsecondary educational institutions described in section 481 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, and currently qualifies to participate in the Department of Education's student aids program.
As the filer of this form, you will need your full legal name, street address, city or town, country, ZIP or foreign postal code, telephone number, and employee education number.
You are also required to input data regarding the student who will be receiving this specific form. Specifically, you will need to write down the student's full legal name, TIN, street address, city or town, state or province, country, and ZIP or foreign postal code.
You will also need the amount for payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses, amount for adjustments made for a prior year, monetary value of any scholarships or grants, amount for adjustments made to a scholarship or grant for a prior year, and information regarding whether or not the student receiving this form is at least a half-time student, or a graduate student.
We will be giving you a step-by-step guide on the process of filling out Form 1098-T.
Before attempting to fill out Form 1098-T, ensure that all information that you are about to write down in this form is complete and accurate. As this is a government-issued form, it should be treated with the utmost care and attention.
Form 1098-T may have multiple pages, but each page is simply a copy of the previous page. You will be needing to fill out each page, as they will serve as copies for the IRS, for the student, and for you, the filer, respectively.
As the filer, write down your full legal name in no specific format. Below this, write down your current street address, city or town of residence, state or country of residence, corresponding ZIP code or foreign postal code, and telephone number.
In the two boxes below where you placed your full legal name, write down both your employee identification number and the TIN of the student who will be receiving this form in the box right next to it.
In the larger box beneath the boxes asking for both your employee ID number and the student's TIN, write down the student's full legal name in no particular format.
Beneath this, write down the student's current street address, including his or her apartment number of applicable, their current city or town of residence, state or country, and ZIP or foreign postal code. The address that you write down in this part of the form must be able to receive forwarded mail. If you do not know the permanent address of this student, you may use a temporary address but only in this specific case.
Finally, write down their service provider or account number. The account number is required if you have multiple accounts for a recipient whom you are filing more than one Form 1098-T. Additionally, the IRS recommends that you designate an account number for any and all Forms 1098-T that you file.
Moving to the right-hand side of the page, write down the payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses. Write down as well any adjustments made to this amount for any prior year if applicable. If it turns out that a student's expenses in the previous year were lower than initially reported, then that could mean the student is responsible for additional tax that year. Note that any amount reported in this box is not reduced by any scholarships or grants reported in a later box.
Afterward, write down the monetary value of any scholarships or grants that the student currently has. Include as well any adjustments made to the value of each scholarship or grant for a prior year. Scholarships and grants are usually given by the school or a third-party and may reduce the amount of qualified expenses the student can use when calculating a credit. A Pell Grant is an example of a grant administered by a college or university in all cases.
The next three items have a box that must be checked. Check the corresponding box if:
In the final box, write down the insurance contract reimbursement or refund. If you are an insurer, you must indicate the total amount of reimbursements or refunds that you made to the student during the year.
Repeat the process for each page. As each copy asks the same questions and for the same information, each page should also have exactly the same answers and details.
Once you have completed every single page, congratulations, you have successfully completed Form 1098-T.

Hi All - since moving back to Jersey and setting up quite the classroom zoo, I am currently working on making everything aboveboard as possible (never know what a snake scared parent might do, you know?) OK - so we have three leopard geckos, a White's Dumpy Tree Frog, and will soon get an albino corn to replace our snake, and (I'm so excited) a donated Bearded Dragon. According to the Herp Law site on the NJHS, these all need permits. I downloaded the Hobbiest Application - one permit for all, correct? And we were going to breed the leos for our genetics unit - would I need a different permit - and would I need to get whatever those receipts are that act as a temporary permit to give to the people who take the babies home??? Albino corns I can just get a regular permit for, correct? Please help all.

Leading national plant and vehicle hire provider, GPT, continues to express optimism in the recovering Irish economy. This optimism is backed by continuous investment in new, premium quality equipment. Two thousand nineteen has already seen the purchase of over 200 items of plant and equipment, this following on from a similar investment in 2018. This substantial investment has included many Genie®products – in both boom lifts and scissors lifts. Recent deliveries included Genie Xtra Capacity™ (XC™) SX™-125 XC, S®-85 XC and S-65 XC models, as well as Genie articulated Z®-62/40 and Z-80/60 units.
"We are extremely pleased to be one of the first companies to introduce these new Genie XC boom lifts to customers in Ireland," stated GPT Operations Director Enda Eiffe. "Their arrival over recent weeks is another example of the significant investment GPT is making that adds value to our broadening aerial offering. With these new machines, customers now have the choice of the optimum mix of standard and dual capacity Genie XC models with increased lift capabilities to support new application opportunities and new working trends adapted to rising demand in a positive local market context."
He continues: "With their heavier lift capacity and excellent below-grade reach that further expands their field of application,we are expecting our new Genie XC models to be a popular choice among customers for civil engineering, steel fixing and facilities maintenance applications.
By increasing productivity, they will find that they can do more using a single machine, which in turn helps to reduce labour costs. We are confident that these new units will rapidly become a must-have that will generate the high rates of utilization that we expect from any rental equipment to support our business."
Mr. Eiffe concludes: "GPT sees this level of investment continuing over the coming years as customers continue to respond positively to the premium quality products being offered by our company coupled with our excellent customer service."

Late last year Columbia sent this New York alternative cabaret singer's 16-track second album to some magazines (including this one) for review (read more), despite her intention to release it as a more sprawling 23-track disc. The label then dropped McKay over the dispute, but the full album has finally surfaced with quirkier and catchier results than the short version. More Ben Folds than Norah Jones, McKay's refreshingly impulsive songwriting, arrangement, and piano skills run amok: "Swept Away" flaunts a fresh banjo solo, while "Mama and Me" kicks rapped verses that tellingly rhyme "embryo" and "Nintendo" with "Brecht, though."

Sofiane Boukichou Broke His Tibia In A Fight Against Tom Aspinall
This weekend we got to witness some untasteful finishes in MMA events. Yesterday Bellator 215's main header bout ended after just 15 seconds when Matt Mitrione landed a hellacious kick into Sergei Kharitonov's groin which landed him to the hospital afterward. Then on Friday, the Invicta FC 34's main event title fight was stopped after Vanessa Porto suffered a nasty eye injury in a match against Vanessa Porto.
In the main event of Cage Warriors 101, Sofiane Boukichou and Tom Aspinall clashed in a heavyweight fight which went down Saturday (Feb 16, 2019) from inside Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. A match ended into a disaster.
Sofiane Boukichou suffered a brutal leg injury while attempting to low kick at Tom Aspinall. Boukichou broke his leg in the same fashion that former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva suffered in a rematch against Chris Weidman back in 2013 at UFC 168.
Check the gruesome injury below:
An unfortunate ending to our main event here at #CW101.
