exciting event. Right before your eyes of a few sheets of plywood and a few boards, you first will outline, and then acquire "flesh and blood," a very nice boat out of plywood and wood traditional designs.
By the way! Keep the boat in the summer
easily be on the coast in the "bottom up"position!
She easely endure the entire season!
Detailed process for "longevity" of your boat, see the book!
This boat is far from the ugly "boxes", knocked together and sewn with wire, thickly smeared with a layer of putty and glass fiber with epoxy resin, which are abundant on the Internet. It's amazing, but these, I may say - "projects" have amazing vitality and wander on publications from the Soviet era, when it was not possible to get acquainted with how to look like a normal wooden boat made of plywood.
I note the economic side of things. Even at current prices, you will spend for the construction of at least five thousand rubles, and had spent approximately one and a half to two weeks time, if you follow all the recommendations for priming and painting the boat.
This process is the longest,
because it requires each coat to dry about 8-10 hours.
In short, go on vacation and take the book with you. And when you sail the wife and kids in the hot July afternoon or early morning sail on the sunrise of misty shores, promising excellent catch
finally, make sure that the author did not lie.
So, if you heed the voice of reason and saw
in front of you a real chance to change his Summer for the better forever,
building super boat out of plywood and wood,
do not stand as a "dead stop"!
Now, in the spring, the author realizes that it is necessary to save the future of the summer. It is important for many.
Therefore, the decision:
Lower prices and make the book accessible to ALL!
Old price pushed up to the first herbs!
The new price
like ALL!
Over the funny money you will receive secret knowledge that people have accumulated for centuries.
You'll be one of equals in the glorious cohort of shipbuilders.
His wife, children and friends can no longer simply "slap you on the shoulder."
Those who have not taken you seriously - will be ashamed!
You'll see how respect for you instantly grow
and you rightly deserve it,
When built your own boat out of plywood and wood,
their own hands!
Leave doubt, buy the book and start doing it!

Nelson Youth Action Network
The Nelson Youth Action Network is a project of the City of Nelson funded by the Columbia Basin Trust. Our goal is to work collaboratively and actively to build community capacity to increase the quality and quantity of youth directed programming; provide youth with programming that is safe, engaging, and relevant to their interests and goals and strengthen the community cohesion of youth in Nelson and area.
Going into it's fifth year, NYAN has provided many programs and events including arts programming, leadership opportunities, cooking lessons, drop-ins, and annual Youth Week events celebrating the diverse and talented youth of Nelson and area. The key to success has been the connections and partnerships built with organizations that support our youth.
North Shore Youth Meet-Ups: Monthly events that rotate between Procter, Harrop and Balfour. Youth decide on the events and we make it happen! Past events have included archery tag, craft making, open gym nights, baking and cooking lessons, and board games nights. If you are a youth that lives in the area and have an idea, let us know!
Under the Umbrella: A weekly group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirit, asexual, queer, or questioning youth and their allies. Connect with other youth, make crafts, plan activities, learn and have fun! Past events have included skating, dance parties, crafts, silk screening, picnics, movies and many more fun things!
Youth Arts Action Committee (YAAC): Your committee, your events!
In collaboration with the Nelson & District Arts Council and Oxygen Arts Centre, youth who love art come together to decide on what arts programming they want to make happen. It is an opportunity for youth to build their leadership and arts-based skills as well as become an active member in Nelson's amazing arts scene. Past projects have included the Youth Heritage mural housed in the multipurpose room at L.V. Rogers and Nelson International Mural Festival mural on the front of the NDYC. If you are a youth that wants to get involved, contact us as we will be starting a new mural in June!
Youth Improv Nights: Monthly youth-led improv nights where youth teach other youth improv and theatre sport games. Learn how to create a scene, act spontaneously and laugh a lot! No experience required.
Youth Week Celebrations: The first week of May every year is BC Youth Week celebration, which aims to recognize the positive and diverse ways in which youth contribute to our community and to celebrate the valuable work they do all year round. For the last three years NYAN has organized youth driven events to celebration the youth of Nelson and area. We are always looking for help in planning these events, so contact us if interested.
Express Yourself: In collaboration with Shaw TV West Kootenay, NYAN has created this TV show where youth interview youth about what they are passionate about and this passion has positively affected their life. Past episodes can be found HERE.
Survival Skills: In partnership with the Four Nations Coalition of Indigenous Medicine, NYAN facilitated a full day youth survival skills workshop where they learned about fire starting and shelter building through an indigenous lens.
Youth Certifications: Because of the huge amount of youth interest in career development, NYAN organized a subsidized Food Safe and Standard First Aid course. These certifications are good additions to resumes and will hopefully help these youth gain meaningful employment.

Patent protections for a number of targeted biologic drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are set to expire in the next few years, opening a door for biosimilars. A biosimilar is a protein-based drug whose biological component is highly similar to the approved reference product but which has no clinically meaningful difference in safety, efficacy, or quality.
In an interview with Rheumatology Advisor, Jonathan Kay, MD, director of Clinical Rheumatology Research and professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Massachusetts, explained that for a drug to be a biosimilar, "[It] must have the same primary amino acid structure as its reference product and has [to have] been approved by a regulatory agency according to a pathway for biosimilars."
Dr Kay has written extensively about biosimilars and has helped develop biosimilars for RA. Biosimilars are not to be confused with biomimics (also called biocopies), which Dr Kay said are available in a few countries that have less-stringent regulations. "A biomimic is purported to be like the reference product but has not been subjected to review or approval by a regulatory agency according to a pathway for biosimilars," he said. Thus, a biomimic may not have the same primary amino acid structure or may have clinically meaningful differences from the reference product.
Regulating Biosimilars
In the past, biosimilars were sometimes referred to as biogenerics, but this term is a misnomer. Whereas small-molecule generic drugs are identical to the reference drug in every way, biosimilars are never completely identical to the reference biologic.1 This is because the ingredients and processes used to produce the protein component of a biologic influence the protein's structure and function, so any deviations will affect the final product.2,3 Without access to the same ingredients and manufacturing processes, the maker of a biosimilar must develop a new proprietary method for creating the protein product.
The complexity of manufacturing large-molecule biopharmaceuticals left the FDA without a clear regulatory pathway for evaluating biosimilars until 2010, when the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) was enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act. Under the BPCIA, the sponsor of a biosimilar must wait 4 years after the reference drug was first approved to file a Biologics License Application (BLA). The BLA must include data from analytical, animal, and clinical studies that establish the biosimilar and reference drug are essentially the same, with nearly equivalent safety, purity, immunogenicity, and potency in the intended patient population (Figure).3,4
One of the studies must be a comparative clinical study between the biosimilar and the reference drug. The FDA may, at its discretion, also require the sponsor to conduct a clinical trial comparing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the biosimilar with those of the reference drug.
Although the licensing process for biosimilars is abbreviated, the biosimilar cannot come to market until the reference drug's exclusivity period expires, which is 12 years after approval. Exclusivity is extended for an additional 6 months if the biologic is approved for pediatric use, but minor changes in the formulation or dose do not extend the patent.
FDA criteria for licensing biosimilars are in line with guidelines5 that the World Health Organization (WHO) issued in 2009, and Dr Kay expressed confidence the FDA's evaluation process was adequate. "If a biosimilar has been reviewed and approved by a regulatory agency according to a pathway for biosimilars that follows the WHO guidelines, physicians can be confident about the efficacy and safety of that biosimilar when prescribing it to patients," he said. Dr Kay said another reason for confidence in the safety of biosimilars is that "most have been developed by and are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies with extensive experience producing biopharmaceuticals."
Since the BPCIA was enacted, the FDA has approved 1 biosimilar: Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz), a biosimilar of Neupogen. In contrast, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which established an abbreviated licensing pathway for biosimilars in 2005, has approved several biosimilars for everything from diabetes to cancer to arthritis.6 More US biosimilars are on the way, according to the FDA, which reported that the agency's Biosimilar Product Development program had enrolled 59 proposed biosimilars for 18 reference products as of January 21, 2016. 7 The FDA also has approximately 8 BLAs under consideration.

Block No. 7 – The Sunflower
Block No. 7 of the Modernistic Flower Quilt will blaze with the brilliant gold of the sunflower. This is one flower which not even a modernistic treatment could sensibly present in anything but its own sun-color.
The petals, therefore, will be a golden yellow. The centers are a deep brown. The overlapping of the flowers is made clear in the design. Stalk and leaves are green and the stitching on the leaves, indicated by broken lines, is yellow.
The inset in the lower right corner is of the same material as the leaves, and so are the green dots. In this inset the bands between the wavy lines are, from the corner inward, orange, the green of the inset and the petal yellow.
The large spots, top and bottom, are green and the accompanying half dots are, upper yellow, lower orange. The remaining three dots, in order from the largest downward, are yellow, orange, and green.
Next week: The Iris
Last week: The Easter Lily

Chapter 78: War takes no Prisoners
"What is the gentleman looking for?" The owner of the first shop on the street came up to Nan Xun and Jun Huang with a servile smile.
"Nothing in particular," said Nan Xun, his tone cool.
"Oh? The gentlemen should come in and take a look at my wares. I guarantee you that you'll find something you like. Everyone knows that among all the shops on this antique street, mine is the most well stocked. I sell items the other don't sell, and anything you can find in their shops, you can find here as well."
Nan Xun turned to Jun Huang in question. Jun Huang nodded. She didn't want to waste too much time trying to pick a shop. The owner was very confident. She might be able to get everything she needed for the house. They walked in side by side.
The shop was filled with a great variety of different items. The first thing that caught Jun Huang's eyes was a lamp. It was finely crafted and would make for a good bedside lamp.
The shopkeeper was observant. He could tell from her lingering gaze that she was interested. He walked up to her and smiled. "The gentleman has a pair of keen eyes. This lamp is said to be from the destroyed palace of Western Que. I can assure you that it's the real deal."
Nan Xun was looking at other items on the other side of the room. He turned around when he heard the words "Western Que". The shopkeeper was giving Jun Huang his best sales pitch and didn't notice the changes in her expression. He drone on and on about how much Princess Jun Huang of Western Que loved this lamp.
Nan Xun was about to step in when Jun Huang opened her mouth. "The shopkeeper hasn't been honest with me." She curved her lips and lowered her eyes. The dark look on her face was replaced by a gentle smile - or her best imitation of a gentle smile. "If someone does buy the lamp, they'll be paying much more than this is worth. Will you compensate them? Do you believe in compensating your customer tenfold?"
The shopkeeper gaped at her, stuttering. He couldn't form a complete sentence, and Jun Huang didn't give him the chance to try again. She walked out in big strides.
Nan Xun gave the lamp a final look before catching up to her. The sun was already setting, and the lamps on the street were lit one by one.
As they walked, Nan Xun looked at Jun Huang's stoic expression and debated over if he should say something. In the end, he asked, "Why didn't you buy the lamp if you like it?"
Jun Huang snorted like he had said something ridiculous. She paused and turned to Nan Xun, her eyes reflecting the lamplight behind him, giving her gaze a substantial weight.
"This gentleman has said that the lamp isn't from Western Que," said Jun Huang. "The shopkeeper must have heard someone say that there was a lamp precious to Jun Huang. He took a regular lamp and called it her treasure."
Jun Huang had uttered the words at a rushed pace. In addition, they were surrounded by people, and the vendors were crying out to catch people's attention. Despite his mastery in martial arts, Nan Xun didn't catch every word. He frowned, unwilling to admit that he hadn't heard what she just said.
Jun Huang turned around and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. "I promised to buy Your Highness dinner," she said with a smirk. "I heard that the street food here is delicious. If Your Highness is willing to try, please come with this gentleman." She made her way to another street without waiting for Nan Xun. This time, Nan Xun did hear her. He caught up to her, shaking his head in resignation.
The food stands street was packed with young people in the imperial city. Some were sons of officials. Others were daughters from rich families sneaking out to have some fun after a day in the boudoir learning needlework. They roamed the street tasting different food with their page boys and maids in tow.
The lamp had filled Jun Huang's head with thoughts about her home country. She didn't feel like eating anything despite the great variety of street food presented before her. If she ran into delicacies from Western Que, she wasn't sure if she could stop herself from breaking down right away.
Nan Xun followed her around without a word. Jun Huang's usually straight back seemed almost brittle right now. The violet silk robe accentuated her elegance, but it didn't cover her sorrow.
They walked in silence for a good while before Jun Huang suddenly remembered Nan Xun's existence. She turned to look at him and twisted her lips into a tired smile. "Has Your Highness wandered the city at night before? Have you had food like this? If there's anything you want to try, just go ahead and tell me."
Watching Jun Huang's distant eyes, Nan Xun knew he must not mention anything related to Western Que. The palace lamp they had just seen was also a taboo.
The lamps behind her were bright. Jun Huang seemed so slim and frail at this moment, it was as if a gale of wind would send her flying. Nan Xun felt the urge to break her out of the cage she'd built for herself to maintain her pride. He took a breath before approaching her with a smile. He took her wrist and pulled her into the crowd.
Jun Huang didn't expect that. She was a little startled, but she didn't break out of his hold. Instead, she followed him to a stand selling dishes made from wild animals.
"Are there still seats?" Nan Xun asked at the top of his lungs. The busy owner turned around from the stove and glanced at Nan Xun. He pointed at the seats at the edge of the stand. Nan Xun could see there was another man making his way to the empty seats. His eyes narrowed, he let go of Jun Huang's arm and rushed to the stools in a flash.
The man didn't quite realize what had just happened. Jun Huang walked up to Nan Xun and gave the man an apologetic smile before taking a seat. Nan Xun smirked a little.
Soon, a server came to their table and exchanged some words with Nan Xun. Nan Xun made the order without much hesitation. Jun Huang was preoccupied. Her appetite wasn't good and she had to stop eating after a few bites. Nan Xun understood Jun Huang's pain. He put down his chopsticks as well.
"Hm? Don't you like the food?" Jun Huang asked curiously when she noticed that Nan Xun had stopped as well. The dishes she had tasted were pretty good.
Nan Xun shook his head and looked up at the bright moon. A sense of melancholy suddenly filled his heart. He let out a wistful laugh and thought back to his past. "Do you want to hear about my time at the border station?"
Jun Huang nodded.
"The first time I went there with my soldiers, I couldn't believe how barren the town was. There was nothing but yellow sand filling the air and buildings that might collapse at any second. Not even weeds could survive there. The residents wore tattered clothes and their faces were always covered in dust. Children too suffered the same fate. It was polar opposite to the imperial city, where people wear sachet and women put on makeup. At the border station, people wore nothing but dust on their faces."
"What they lack the most is water. They dare not waste even a drop of it, let alone using it to clean themselves. It's funny, when I first got there, I fumed in anger because of the living conditions. I am somewhat of a prince living a luxurious life in the imperial city, but at the border? No one cares if you are a prince. The water is vital to their survival. It's not for anyone to waste."
His heart seemed to have traveled to the border station. He looked so lost sitting at this bustling food stand. Jun Huang had long forgotten about her own concerns. She looked at Nan Xun with a heavy heart.
"You are a prince," Jun Huang said after a moment of silence. "Why would the local officials be so harsh to you? Besides, it's said that the local officials are the ones who are most corrupt. They should be welcoming you to their personal fortunes in order to get on your good side."
Nan Xun chuckled and shook his head. "No, you're wrong. Over the past few years, I have come to realize that the officials at the border stations are the least corrupt ones. They don't exploit the people, not at all. Quite the contrary, they spend all their earnings on the people. Think about it, how do the local residents get water in a barren land covered in sand? Where does the water come from? Those officials pay out of their pockets to have water transported to the town from oases more than twenty miles away."
Jun Huang fell silent. She didn't know what to say. Instead, she waited for Nan Xun to continue.
"Life there is difficult. Sometimes we didn't even have proper food. I was there during wartime. Those officials were assisting generals sent by the imperial court in defending the border from outside enemies. They didn't have time to take care of me. I was already a general at the time, but I was young. The more experienced generals were unwilling to take me to the battlefield..." Nan Xun was lost in his memories. His expression seemed softer than usual, but his words painted a macabre picture.
Jun Huang had witnessed deaths and destruction. She knew what was left unsaid. She knew how those barbarians were. Soldiers of Northern Qi couldn't have a proper meal; the barbarians couldn't, either. They ate human flesh raw in order to appease their hunger.
They sat there for a long time without a word. When they paid for the food and left, the crowd had dispersed from the street.
In the river next to them, there were festive lanterns floating on the surface. The wind was a little strong; hence the candles in the lanterns had been put out, leaving only the lotus bases floating on the water. Another strong wind would have toppled the bases and sunk them to the bottom of the river.
Watching the lanterns, Jun Huang put aside her faint sense of loss. "It's late. We should part ways here."
Nan Xun nodded. The stars in the sky had become hidden behind the clouds. Only the moon still shone in the sky. Silver light covered the green stone path with a glow. Nan Xun turned around first, and Jun Huang followed suit. They went in opposite directions.
Suddenly, Nan Xun caught a glimpse of the reflection of moonlight coming from a sword. He also heard a succession of sounds of weapons being unsheathed. He stopped in his track, his heart suddenly seized by worries.
Not long after Jun Huang parted ways with Nan Xun, she heard people coming up from behind her. The men tried to be sneaky, but Jun Huang could hear the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves.
Two men dressed in black appeared before her, blocking her way. She paused and turned her head sideway. There were more men behind her. They had their broadswords raised.
The men were all dressed in black, and they were masked, showing only their eyes. They were like ghosts hidden in the dark - or snakes and scorpions that struck when you least expected it.
Jun Huang looked at them with cold eyes and no trace of fear on her face, but her palms were sweating hidden under her broad sleeves. She was but a regular woman. How could she not be scared in face of danger like this? She couldn't, however, let anyone see her fear.
Some people appeared more calm and collected the more scared they were.
She gave the men a good look. They readied their weapons. The next second, a man slashed at Jun Huang with his sword. Jun Huang barely dodged the attack. The sword hit the wall next to her, sending sparks into the air, illuminating the night.

2020–2021 BCSC Basic and Clinical Science Course™
When a contact lens is in placed on the cornea, most of the refraction occurs at the interface between air and the tear film on the anterior surface of the contact lens. Corneal contact lenses are only about 3 mm in front of the eye's first principal plane, where refraction may be considered to occur. The lenses turn with the eye, so that compared to a spectacle lens 12 mm in front of a rotating eye, there is less aberrational blur, distortion, and magnification/minification. Spectacle lenses have different optical advantages, offering stable vision and the ability to design more useful bifocals and to apply prism when needed. Table 5-1 summarizes optical considerations of contact lenses.
When one eye is much more myopic or hyperopic than the other, spectacle correction creates retinal images of unequal size, unless the difference is caused primarily by unequal axial lengths (Clinical Example 5-1). Also, as the eyes look off-axis, through parts of the spectacle lenses farther from their optical centers, the eyes encounter unequal prism, following the Prentice rule (see Chapter 4). This is particularly disturbing, looking down to view through bifocal segments, as it does not take much unequal vertical prism to cause discomfort or diplopia. To deal with this, it may be necessary to "slab-off" prism on one of the bifocal segments (see Chapter 4).
On the other hand, contact lenses of unequal powers yield retinal images that are of almost equal size, if the eyes are of similar length. The lenses move with the eyes, so there is little induced prismatic effect. Unilateral aphakia is an extreme example of anisometropia, with the aphakic eye usually much more hyperopic than its fellow eye. Typically, the aphakic spectacle lens magnifies the retinal image about 25% larger than it would be in an emmetropic eye of the same length, whereas a contact lens magnifies it about 7%. To understand this "relative spectacle magnification," imagine starting with emmetropic eyes and instead of removing the natural lens of one eye, neutralize the lens's power with a minus lens just in front of the natural lens, and place a correcting plus-powered spectacle lens 12 mm in front of the eye. Those 2 lenses create a magnifying Galilean telescope effect, which enlarges the retinal image.
Fitting a unilateral aphakic eye causes diplopia that persists in the presence of prisms that superimpose the 2 images. The refractive error of the fellow eye is −5.00 D, and the image of the aphakic eye is described as larger than that of the fellow myopic eye. How can the diplopia be resolved?
The goal is to reduce the aniseikonia of the 2 eyes by magnifying the image size of the phakic eye and/or reducing the image size of the contact lens–corrected aphakic eye. to achieve the former, correct the myopic phakic eye with a contact lens to increase its image size. If this is inadequate, overcorrect the contact lens for the aphakic eye by +5.00 D and prescribe a spectacle lens of −5.25 D for that eye, in effect introducing a reverse Galilean telescope. If, however, the phakic eye were hyperopic, its image size would be increased by correcting its refractive error with a spectacle lens rather than a contact lens.

US cybersecurity officials were convinced North Korea was behind the notorious Sony hack last November because the NSA had secretly infiltrated the hermit kingdom's computer systems years before the Hollywood e-mail raid, according to a new report.
The National Security Agency penetrated North Korean networks in 2010 over concerns the nation's digital infrastructure was considered "one of the most impenetrable targets on earth," The New York Times reports.
The NSA's classified program placed malware that could trace the workings of North Korean hackers — and followed a secretive system that traveled from Chinese and Malaysian networks back into a North Korean intelligence service.
Evidence gathered during the US cyber-surveillance mission convinced President Obama that hackers backed by the North Korean government were responsible for the Sony attacks, the paper said.
The hackers released embarrassing personal e-mails from Sony Pictures bigwigs in an attempt to thwart the release of a movie that lampooned North Korean despot Kim Jong-un.

Workshop Improving Organizational Agility at XA2021
October 4, 2021 - October 7, 2021€887
I'm giving my workshop Improving Organizational Agility at the Experience Agile week (XA2021) as a three-day online workshop. Book your seat at eXperience Agile.
Improving Organizational Agility
In the workshop Improving Organizational Agility, you will learn how to apply agile practices throughout your organization to develop the right products and deliver faster with better quality to serve your customers!
This is an online interactive workshop where you will practice and experiment in small groups to learn techniques and gain insights on how your organization can become more agile:
- Practice how to create a psychologically safe environment that enables teams and empowers people to apply agile practices.
- Learn ways to establish an agile mindset and adopt flexible and effective ways of working throughout the organization.
- Create a culture that supports collaboration, and which motivates people to work together to create high-quality products and services.
The workshop is loaded with games, exercises, examples, and suggestions to help you increase your agility.
Many organizations are going through agile transformations. They are implementing Scrum or Kanban and using large-scale agile frameworks like Lean, SAFe, LeSS or DAD, hoping to better serve the IT needs of the business and to develop products that satisfy their customer's needs. Unfortunately, many of those transformations do not always live up to the agile promise of delivering better products, faster, at lower costs.
Improving organizational agility isn't easy. But it can be done!
If your organization is:
- having difficulties adjusting itself to shorten delivery times
- having products with quality issues and is losing customers
- doing an agile/Scrum/Kanban transformation but not seeing the expected benefits
- unable to remove barriers that are blocking cross-organizational collaboration
- trying to adopt agile but finding it hard to change the culture and mindset
- looking for ways to apply agile practices more effectively and needs help with that
- not able to improve in small but meaningful steps
- on an agile journey but unsure where to go next or what would be the best thing to do
then this is the workshop for you!
Learning Objectives
What will you get out of this workshop?
- Practice how to assess your agility with Agile Self-assessments to find out how well you are doing
- Explore how to establish an agile culture using Culture Cards and Psychological Safety Coaching Cards
- Learn effective ways to travel your agile journey and find out what you need to do this
- Get ideas for improving collaboration and communication between teams and stakeholders and break down barriers
- Learn tips and tricks to expand and scale an agile way of working throughout the organization
- Get advice on selecting and applying agile and lean practices effectively
You also receive
- Online Course materials
- The Agile Thinkers Academy attendance certificate
- The Agile Thinkers Academy Community channel
- The eXperience Agile Community channels
This workshop is intended for:
- Agile and Lean Coaches

- Product Owners, Project Managers and other Managers/Leaders
- Anybody who is supporting teams in agile transformations
The practices in this workshop will help you to apply agile methods and frameworks effectively to increase organizational agility.
"The workshop Getting More out of Agile and Lean was really interesting. I specially liked the product owner and team exercise, the impediment game and the 1-word retrospective that we did. I learned when and how I can use them in my daily work."
Bill Souliotis – Manager Software Research & Development Graphics User Interface at BETA CAE Systems
"I'd like to thank you again for your excellent workshop. It was fun and I already started using some of the ideas with my team. The change is definitely notable."

"Nice to join a workshop in which the attendees and teacher actually have profound hands-on experience with agile."
"Immersive, good choice of subjects, well led."
"A lot of examples."
"Good useful interactions and learning from other participants."
Attendees from the GOTO Amsterdam workshop
"I attended Ben's workshop in Athens (Getting More out of Agile and Lean) and I can highly recommend it to all professionals that are serious about Scrum and about applying agile processes in real-world problems of software development. Especially for Product Owners and for Scrum Masters, this training will help you and your organisation evolve to the next level. Thank you, Ben!"

Community-engaged curricula in higher education: the case of a master's programme in play therapy
Wilson, Lizane
Bitzer, E.
Newmark, R.
MetadataShow full item record
This article presents the results from research on community-engaged curricula using feedback from international and South African academics who teach on postgraduate programmes with a community engagement component. It also includes the findings from a sample master's programme in Play Therapy at a South African university. The findings indicated that at least five important issues are related to community-engaged master's programmes in Play Therapy, namely: programme relevance, integrated scholarship, community-based research, reciprocal learning, and close academic staff involvement. Based on these findings a curriculum framework is suggested which caters for an integrated scholarship approach in master's programmes in Play Therapy that closely engage with community needs. Such a framework may relate to similar or other professional master's programme curricula.

SculpSure Receives FDA Clearance for Treatment of Back, Inner Thighs, and Outer Thighs
Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an expanded clearance for Cynosure's non-invasive body contouring product, SculpSure, to treat the back and inner and outer thighs. The SculpSure treatment is already FDA-cleared for treatment of the abdomen and love handles (flanks).
SculpSure is a clinically proven, non-surgical body contouring (lipolysis) treatment designed to permanently eliminate fat cells in problem areas. Developed by Cynosure, a world leader in medical aesthetics and division of Hologic, SculpSure utilises a selective wavelength laser that precisely targets fat cells under the skin. The laser raises the temperature of body fat to disrupt and destroy these cells, which are naturally eliminated over time and do not return. Patients are able to achieve desired results – without downtime or surgery – through customised treatment plans, each lasting only 25 minutes.
"The approval of SculpSure to treat back fat and the inner and outer thighs is a direct response to the growing needs of our consumers, who are looking to achieve a slimmer appearance and enhance the body they work hard to maintain," said Michael Davin, Divisional President of Cynosure at Hologic. "Cynosure is a leader in medical aesthetics and pioneer in light-based fat reduction, and we expect the addition of three known body problem areas to SculpSure's already advanced, versatile treatment to further drive demand and pave the way for future innovations."

text: This paper addresses the question of what one can learn from observing cross-sectional and time series variations in the volatility of prices in an arbitrage-free securities market. We introduce the notions of stochastic derivatives, marginal risk-adjusted growth rates, and marginal risk exposure in a single facotr economy. Using the martingale characterization of arbitrage-free prices, together with a martinagle representation formula due to Haussmann (18=978), we show that cross sectional variations in volatility can be linked to the marginal risk-adjusted growth rate in the economy and to changes in marginal risk exposure. We use prices ofoptions on the state variable to compute the stochastic derivative and hence the volatility of any state-contingent claim. We also study the information content of the term structure of volatility and apply the results to the Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (1985) model of interest rates.

Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? —Ezekiel 33:11
God's call to the sinner to turn and live is serious and demands a response. In a clear, compelling, and passionate way, Nathaniel Vincent explains the foolishness of continuing in the pathway of evil, the stubborn disposition of natural man to continue in this way, the gracious and repeated call of God to turn, and the wonderful remedy found in Christ. In typical Puritan fashion, Vincent also draws out the several applications, or uses, of this doctrine.
Table of Contents:
1. God's Call to Turn
2. The Way of Evil is the Way of Death
3. Death as a Result of One's Choice
4. God's Repeated Call to Turn from Death to Life
5. Concluding Applications
Series Description
Interest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. This series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.
Nathaniel Vincent (c. 1639–1697) was an English Puritan who suffered multiple imprisonments for nonconformity to the Church of England.
"This brief work could be retitled An Excellent Treatise on Repentance Rewritten for the Modern Reader. It abounds with Scripture, sound theological deductions, and insightful applications. It pierces the soul and demands reflection. It is worthy to be read and preached, again and again." — Paul Washer, founder of and laborer with the HeartCry Missionary Society and author of the Recovering the Gospel series

Hey, everyone! My name is Rachel and I am so happy to be sharing with you my planner setup and a "plan with me" using the beautiful March Fresh Cut Planner Kits. This month, I am using a B6 Daisy Dori booklet for my "on the go" (and always with me!) planner.
There are so many things to love about this month kits that it hard to know where to start! I think probably one of my favorite aspects of this month's kits are all the lovely and uplifting sentiments. I know January is supposed to be the time we are working on fresh start, but I can honestly say that the long awaited spring is when I really feel ready to start anew. The artwork, illustrations and sentiments in the Fresh Cut Kits perfectly reflect my excitement to be in the month of March and ever closer to Spring and Summer.
My planner style is always evolving. Recently I have preferred simple dashboards for my inserts. This keeps the bulk down, especially in this single strap cover. But what I love about using these kits is the fact that I don't have to do much in the first place; the papers are pretty enough as is!
Here is next week in my planner. At the beginning of the month, I stamped out the days of the week with the stamp from the Classified: Planner Edition Kit . When I am stamping something repetitive, I like to do all in one sitting. I also decided to use the sticker kit punch a few of the boxes stickers into hexagons. Sometimes, I want the decorate element of the box sticker but I don't want to use to whole thing. By punching a smaller shape, I get the decorative element, without losing too much space on the page.
I am a pretty "team vertical" planner girl, so I like to always find ways to make a vertical layouts – even if that wasn't the intended format! Remember, those lines are merely suggestions. As the sticker says "You do you" and I couldn't agree more!
This week is my favorite! Why? Because it is my BIRTHDAY week! That said, does anyone else find special weeks like birthday weeks the hardest to decorate? I struggled a little, but then remembered I can dedicate a page (or two) in this insert to my birthday – it's my birthday and I'll plan how I want to (hee hee)!
Earlier in the month, I made a page marker with one of the dashboards from the Day Planner Dashboard Kit and a tab from the Day Planner Kit.
As I was planning this week, I realized I wanted to have one the memo sheets in my week, too. Rather than doing a tip-in, I decided to washi tape it to the back of my page marker. That way, I can easily put the page mark out to write a quick note and slip it right back into my week.
I hope you enjoyed a look inside my planner! Make sure to check out my plan with me video on my YouTube channel, too. Hope you get to dig into your kits this weekend and have fun planning next week!

Anderson, E.J. and Xu, Huifu (2004) Nash equilibria in electricity markets with discrete prices. Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 60 (2), 215-238. (doi:10.1007/s001860400364).
In this paper we analyse the equilibrium structure for a particular type of electricity market. We consider a market with two generators offering electricity into a pool. Generators are centrally dispatched, with cheapest offers used first. The pool price is determined as the highest-priced offer dispatched, and both generators are paid this price for all the electricity they provide. First generators set their price points (at which bids will later be made) and these are announced. Then each generator chooses the quantities to offer at each price. This reflects the behaviour of the Australian electricity market in which prices are set for 24-hours at a time, but different quantities can be offered within each half-hour period. The demand for electricity is uncertain when offers are made (and is drawn from a probability distribution known to both players). We begin by analysing an example of this two stage game for a simple case where only one price can be chosen. The main results of the paper concern the structure of a Nash equilibrium for the quantity-setting sub-game in which each player aims to maximise their expected profit when prices have already been announced. The distribution of demand plays an important role in the existence of a Nash equilibrium. In the quantity setting game there may be Nash equilibria which are not stable. We show that, under certain circumstances, if the equilibrium offers are sufficiently close to the generatorsrs' marginal costs, then the equilibrium will be stable.

Thousands of workers at the giant Nissan plant in Canton, Mississippi, will be able to cast their ballots on whether to join the United Auto Workers in an election set for August 3 and August 4.
A petition had been filed earlier for a July 31/August 1 vote, so the actual election will come only a few days later.
The vote marks the culmination of a 12-year struggle by workers for an intimidation-and-threat-free union election at the plant, where the workforce is 80 percent African American. Local Nissan managers have strongly opposed unionization even thought the company ownership claims neutrality. Workers have been forced to watch anti-union videos, and pro-union workers have complained of harassment on the job.
With the rallying cry "Labor Rights Are Civil Rights", the campaign has include a widespread community grassroots effort with local ministers, civil rights-era veterans and students from nearby Jackson State University and Tougaloo College as well as the University of Mississippi standing side-by-side with the workers. International attention has also focused on the campaign--from as far away as Brazil and also France, where the government controls a percentage of Nissan's partner firm, Renault, and thus has influence on Nissan operations.
However, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and the Republican leadership of the state Legislature in Mississippi, along with the Mississippi Manufacturers Association and outside groups such as the influential Koch Brothers, can be expected to use their influence to help defeat pro-union forces. This is what happened in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2014, when workers at the Volkswagen plant sought a union. U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., even promised that Volkswagen would expand operations if the union was voted down. Workers narrowly rejected the union in the vote.

Hans Geismar Glass Identification Guide + Gallery
Back to Glass Encyclopedia Home
Hans Geismar Ltd was a British company owned by a man of the same name, who imported art glass to the United Kingdom from various countries including Sweden, France, Italy, Germany, Poland and Yugoslavia during the 1940's - 1980's. Hans incorporated the company H. Geismar Ltd on the 6th March 1943. Maurice R. Wilkins was a director at the company during the 1960's and possibly earlier / later. The Hans Geismar showroom was located at Kimberley House, 14-17 Holborn Viaduct, London. At some point in the 1970's, they relocated to 91-93, Gray's Inn Road, London, due to Kimberley House being demolished as part of redevelopment in 1976/77. Hans Geismar the man himself, was born in Germany in 1903, and married Liesel Sara Heineberg at Barnet, Herts in 1939. He died at Haringey, London in 1989.
Glassware imported by Hans Geismar can still be found bearing labels with the initials H.G. and the words "Swedish Art Glass", "Venetian Art Glass" etc, depending on the origin of the glassware. These labels were long thought to be for another British importer of art glass, named "George Hardy" or "Geo Hardy". However new information has come to light, thanks to a very helpful fellow named Kenneth Blackmore, who worked for Hans Geismar in 1962 - 1965. Kenneth remembers sticking lots of these labels on to customer samples, showroom exhibits and trade fair displays. He also still has an envelope, addressed to himself, postmarked 1962, and printed on the reverse with the company name, address and logo (pictured below). The logo matches perfectly with the labels, indisputable proof that this glassware was imported by Hans Geismar, and not George Hardy.

Green foil Hans Geismar "HG Swedish Art Glass" import label. Used on glass from Swedish factories such as Aseda, Elme and Gullaskruf.
Blue foil Hans Geismar "HG Italian Art Glass" import label. Used on Italian glass outside of the Venice / Murano area, such as Empoli / Florence.
Red foil Hans Geismar "HG Venetian Art Glass" import label. Used on Italian glass from the Venice / Murano area.
Red foil Hans Geismar "Lido HG Venetian Art Glass" import label. Lido refers to Lido Di Venezia, a 7 mile long barrier island in the Venetian Lagoon.
Below are some examples of glassware with the Hans Geismar HG Art Glass labels. These inlcude Swedish factories Sea Glasbruk, Aseda Glasbruk, Elme Glasbruk and Gullaskruf. Also shown is Italian glass from Murano, Venice, and the region of Empoli, near Florence.

What happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? What kind of men were they?
The men were lawyers, jurists, merchants, farmers, large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well what they were putting at risk. They were British subjects at the time, and knew that the penalty for treason was death by hanging.
They were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousers, but mostly soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but valued liberty more. Each one surely had more to lose from revolution than he had to gain by it. But they stood tall, and unwavering and pledged:
"For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
Here are the fates of the signers:
Nine fought and died from wounds or hardships during the war.
Five were captured by the British, charged with treason and were tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army
Another had two sons captured.
Several lost wives, sons or entire families.
One lost his 13 children.
Two wives were brutally treated.
All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes.
Seventeen lost everything they owned.
Yet not one of them defected or went back on his pledged word.
Of note is the New Jersey Signer, Abraham Clark. He had two sons serving in the Revolutionary Army. They were captured and sent to the infamous British prison boat known as the hell ship "Jersey" in New York Harbor where 11,000 Americans were to die.
The sons received extra brutal treatment because of their father. One was in solitary and given no food. With the war almost over and won, no one could have blamed Abraham Clark if he had accepted the British offer of sparing his sons' lives if he would recant and come out for the King and Parliament. Certainly with utter despair and anguish in his heart and soul, his answer was "No."
The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed that magnificent pledge. They ultimately gave us a free and independent America whose liberties should never be taken for granted.
Freedom is never free. This is why we honor them and all those who have stood against tyranny. We Proudly fly our Flag and ALWAYS stand during the National Anthem in honor and memory of them.
Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoyed our post. Please share with all your fellow patriots. Brought to you by: Ultimate Flags

When you think of industries where plastics are in great demand, you might think of packaging or automotive. But one visit to the International Builders Show (IBS) gives you just a glimpse of the myriad applications for plastics in today's homes. The IBS is happening this week in Las Vegas, and it was perfect timing for SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association (Washington, DC) to publish Plastics Market Watch: Building and Construction, its fourth report in a series analyzing factors affecting the plastic industry's key end markets.
"From floors to roofs, inside and outside of walls, plastics are a go-to product on construction sites around the world," said William R. Carteaux, SPI President and CEO. "Innovation in the plastics industry to improve and diversify products is matched by the building and construction sector's pace to find, and use, new solutions to address fundamental issues like structural integrity, energy savings, recycling and cost savings."
The leading uses of plastics in residential and commercial construction include roofing, insulation, wall coverings, windows, piping, composite "lumber" (WPC) planks and rails, flooring and structure wraps. According to the report, while the building and construction sector has not regained its "prerecession vigor," it is making steady progress with the promise of growth in the future. Globally, noted the report, "China, India, and the U.S. will be the primary drivers of construction activity, as India is on pace to overtake Japan as the third largest construction market between 2017 and 2022."
The "dramatic inroads" made by plastics in building and construction materials, according to the SPI study, "are linked to plastics' utility, cost, ease of installation, longevity and the propensity of the plastics industry to constantly develop new products to supersede traditional building materials in many phases of the building process."
Having attended the International Builders Show off and on for more than a decade, I've personally seen the evolution of plastics used in building materials from primarily extruded decking, railing and fencing; interior and exterior trim; and vinyl siding to the expanded use of injection molding to produce roofing shingles, siding shingles, even stone work that now looks like the real deal. Cedar shake shingles and siding look like real cedar shake shingles but without the fire hazard that wood shingles present, particularly on homes in forested areas. Thus, many homeowners who are replacing wood shingles with injection molded shingles get the advantage of saving on insurance premiums.
Acceptance and adoption of these plastic building materials didn't come overnight. I can remember talking to several builders a number of years ago, and their biggest concern was that they may have to retrain their workers if the plastic siding and shingles are installed differently than traditional building materials. Many of the manufacturers of these injection molded building products, as well as those producing the extruded WPCs, have adopted designs that allow traditional installation of these "disruptive" building products, making them more acceptable to builders.
I can remember the first IBS I attended in Orlando about a decade ago, and the big question then was whether or not plastic—the material that everyone loves to hate—is truly "green." Plastic's close affiliation with fossil fuels, a natural material that is on everyone's hit list, gives it a bad name and lends to its allegedly dubious environmental qualities. I think that we're past that issue now—we know how "green" plastic is and how much it saves in energy, natural resources and home maintenance costs while extending the life of the structure.
"Plastics play an exciting and growing role in building and construction around the world, particularly given the drive to find 'smart' designs with improved environmental and energy efficiencies," Carteaux concluded. "Our industry needs to continue to collaborate with engineers and architects on building materials and find new innovations and advances. We have a strong, versatile and ecologically responsible material—the plastics industry should expand its presence on construction sites in the years ahead."
To that I say, "Amen!"
