Our esteemed client Zigma has been acquiring tenders from the Government to clear up dump yards and managing the waste by re-segregating & relocating them to safer locations away from city limits thus preventing a lot of harmful effects like pollution, disease, ground water contamination etc.
In one of our recent projects, we helped survey the Dumping ground at Vadodara to calculate the volume of waste at the dump yard. Apart from this, our data is also helpful to identify the surroundings & also various other parameters which helped in planning the entire process.

Translated from the back of the book
"2995...mankind tries to recover from cultural amnesia due to centuries of Fentom domination. Mankind, under the protection of the Republic, has a new ambition: the search for its own past, for its own history. At the same time the galaxy is convulsed by an array of alien conflicts, each species searching for their place in a complex political milieu.
In 2995, despite new technologies, where tachyon sensors and cybernetic implants are commonplace, and space travel is limited only by the Milky Way itself, danger lurks in each new star, each new planet, each new city
in 2995 Mankind lives the supreme adventure"

Dental Care
The Importance of Emergency Dental Care
Some patients who are dealing with a dental emergency have the tendency to wait to see the dentist. However, waiting to see a dentist may result in permanent damage to your teeth, so time is of the utmost importance. If you are dealing with a dental emergency, please follow the tips below to decrease the chances on permanent damage.
Emergency Care for Toothaches
Patients who have a severe toothache, and cannot see their dentist immediately, always need to rinse their mouth with warm water. It is also recommended to use some dental floss to get rid of any food that made be stuck between the teeth and cause an infection.
A toothache can also be accompanied by swelling. If your mouth is swollen, use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek, depending on the location of the swelling. Trying to sedate the area with a crushed painkiller is not recommended, since this can burn the gum and cause more problems. However, patients can take an over-the- counter painkiller to reduce some of the pain they are experiencing.
Emergency Care for Chipped Teeth
Patients who have chipped a tooth should try to save the pieces of the tooth that have come out. Store the tooth pieces in a small container with a little bit of milk to keep these pieces in good condition. Once you have collected the pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water.
A chipped tooth can also be accompanied by bleeding. If you experience bleeding, use some gauze and apply it to the affected area. The gauze should be held in place for ten minutes or until the bleeding has subsided. To reduce any swelling or pain, you can also hold a cold compress on the mouth or cheek.
For a chipped tooth, you will need to contact your dentist as soon as possible to prevent any permanent damage. Be sure to mention you had an accident and need emergency dental care, so that the receptionist can provide you with an emergency appointment.
Emergency Care for Knocked Out Teeth
Pick up the knocked out tooth as quickly as possible and store it in a container with some milk. Call up your dentist immediately and inform them about the situation. The receptionist will provide you with an emergency appointment.
When you are dealing with a knocked out tooth, time is of the essence. Ideally, you will need to see a dentist within a half an hour of the accident occurring. If you can, try to place the tooth back in the hole. However, never try to force the tooth in. If the tooth feels wobbly or loose, use a mouthguard to keep the tooth in place until you can see the dentist.
Emergency Care for Objects Stuck Between the Teeth
Certain objects and foods can get stuck between the teeth if not careful. Even though most of these things can be removed quite easily, you may encounter a situation where removal seems impossible. To prevent infection or complications, the object needs to be removed as soon as possible.
Before you call your dentist, try to remove the object with some dental floss. It is important to do this gently, as trying to remove the object forcefully may cause damage to your teeth or make the problem worse. If the object remains caught between the teeth, book an appointment with your dentist right away.
Lost Fillings and Crowns
Patients who lose a filling or a crown should book an appointment with their dentist right away. In case of a lost crown, try to take the crown with you to the dentist appointment. If you cannot get an appointment right away, patients can use some clove oil to ease the pain or use some over-the-counter pain medication.
Emergency Care for Abscesses
An abscess needs to be treated by a dentist as soon as possible and is classified as a dental emergency. If an abscess is left untreated, the infection can spread to other parts of the body and cause additional problems.
If you are in a considerable amount of pain and have to wait to see the dentist, use a mild saltwater solution. Add half a tablespoon of table salt to approximately 250 ml of water to get the right concentration. Patients can do this rinse several times a day until they see their dentist and acquire the treatment they need.
Emergency Care for Dental Implants
Problems with your dental implants can classify as a dental emergency depending on the issue you are dealing with. If you are experiencing loose dental implants, or if you are experiencing a considerable amount of pain because of your dental implants, you will need to book an emergency appointment with a dental implant specialist.
The Malo Clinic is currently the leading dental implant specialist. Our facility does not only provide patients with basic dental implants, we also provide advanced dental implant treatments such as the All-On-4 dental implants, Zygoma dental implants and Quad dental implants.
Patients who have been experiencing problems with their dental implants, or fear that their dental implant treatment could be failing, will be able to get the best treatment at the Malo Clinic. Our dental implant facility employs an experienced team of oral surgeons as well as dentists, who are able to deal with the most complex dental implant cases.
Our dental implant facility also has access to the best dental equipment and various types of dental implants, which means that we will be able to provide the right solution for your situation. Failing dental implants are rare, but problems with dental implants can occur due to complications.
Have you been experiencing problems with your dental implants? Or are your dental implants causing you pain? Do not hesitate to contact the Malo Clinic for an appointment. Our friendly support staff will book an appointment for you and arrange to speak to one of our dental implant experts. During the examination, you will also be able to benefit from the advanced equipment we use, which increases the chances of finding the problem quickly and correcting it as soon as possible.

Allison Road Kickstarter Cancelled After Being Picked Up By Publisher Team 17
The kickstarter campaign for survival horror game Allison road has been cancelled after the game was picked up by publisher Team 17.
Allison Road developers Lilith Games announced the partnership through a Kickstarter update.
"We are delighted to announce that we will be joining Team17's highly successful games label." said the newly formed indie developer.
"Working with Team17 will give us the chance to make our game unhindered creatively, but at the same time will give us the resources, support and experience that only a 25 year old studio can give."
Team 17 are best known as the studio behind the successful Worms game series. They've also released titles such as The Escapists: The Walking Dead, Beyond Eyes, and Sheltered.
Allison Road is slated to feature virtual reality support through Oculus Support as we discovered back in July and has been one of the more talked about VR games in development due to its eerie backdrop.

The Adagio network is the result of a joint venture 50/50 between Accor, the world's leading hotel operator and market leader in Europe, and Pierre & Vacances Center Parcs Group , European leader in local tourism.
No. 1 in Europe, Adagio offer in city centers , apartments offering hotel services for long stays.
Created in 2007, the brand offers two product lines: Adagio, aparthotels mid-range, in a contemporary style, located in the heart of major cities; Adagio Access, economical range, functional aparthotels, close to city centers.
Twid just offer tools to create and charter practices in terms of both internal and external signage. The major challenge is to offer a simple but graphic identity system meeting the DNA of the brand.
In interior signage, graphics system must be designed to incorporate many features and work as well for speaking engagements in reception area, parking, strolling areas, elevator, inside the apartment ... One of difficulties is to keep it simple by taking into account all the constraints, the other is to find the right notching between information and communication.
In outdoor signage, the graphics system must be designed to provide standards but also expect the unexpected:-)
At the end of this work, charters provided thus become the reference documents ensuring the durability graphics principles and consistency of the network.

While surfing the Internet this morning I came across an advertisement for a few PC products. These products are on the Blue Menu label which are supposed to be the Healthier Choice, containing 2g fat, 18g carbs, 13g sugar, 3g protein per 1/2 cup serving. However reading the ingredients list it is easy to see that this product is anything but a healthy choice.
INGREDIENTSMilk, modified milk ingredients, sugar, glucose solids, natural flavour, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, guar gum, polysorbate 80, carrageenan, encapsulated fish oil [refined fish oil (anchovy, sardine), fish gelatin, sodium ascorbate, canola oil, natural flavour, tocopherols (from soy), sunflower oil, citric acid], active bacterial cultures [l. Bulgaricus, l. Lactis, s. Thermophilus, b. Lactis hn019™ (lyo 500 dcu)]. May contain peanuts and tree nuts. Frozen yogurt base made with 100% canadian milk.
I've highlighted in red all the ingredients I would never eat, purple I normally avoid and orange I would avoid because I'm not sure what they are! The sugar isn't great either but at least I know what it is.
I would never eat this product, ever and what I really don't understand is how this product can call itself the Healthier Choice. Is it just because it is low in fat? There is so much more to it than that.
Oh and one of the comments in the customer reviews says this product is "Diabetic Friendly" because it is low in sugar. A tablespoon of sugar in 1/2 cup serving is not low in sugar, and it's certainly not diabetic friendly. I know if I were to eat this my blood sugar would spike and crash for sure because of the high amount of sugar.
The moral of the story is don't trust the labelling on a package. Read the ingredients and judge for yourself whether the product is something you want to nourish your body with.
Rant over :)

Last year, a man died at a Wal-Mart (WMT) on Long Island on Black Friday, as the throng of discount-hungry shoppers simply trampled over him.
The most disturbing part of that story was the fact that even after the guy died, and security tried to clear the store, shoppers wouldn't leave.
So, Wal-Mart's going to try things a little different this year -- a year when, we can expect the same, if not a more intense demand for good deals.
Is Ian Ritter at Globe St. explains, employees will get more training in crowd control, and, to avoid "doorbusters" the store will stay open 24 hours. This way, the door can't be busted down. It's always open.
Here's the catch though: the deals won't start until 5:00 AM on Friday, so if you're in there shopping, and make a purchase at 4:48, then you're a total idiot.
We're pretty curious to see how that will work out. We imagine people will spend the moments before 5:00 scrambling for a position next to the flat-panel TV they want, and then melee will ensue once the top of the hour hits. Will be fascinating.

Hipmunk is a remarkable new travel search site that aims to take the agony out of travel planning. They designed their site to help people who are overwhelmed with pages of irrelevant search results.
Flight results are presented in a visual "timeline" that allows people to select the best flight for them at a glance:
Hipmunk automatically sorts results by "Agony," which is primarily a combination of price, flight duration, and number of stopovers. I love this visual "timeline" which makes it easy to understand the tradeoffs between options.
Hotel results are shown on a map so that you can view where in a destination they will be staying and the landmarks near them:
The "ecstasy" ranking incorporates user reviews, amenities, and price. You can also sort it by price, reviews and its distance to a specific location.
Another thing I love about this website is that you can do multiple searches on the same page but different tabs. This is especially useful if you have a few travel destination options in mind but are not certain. Go check it out yourself.

She stole a life. Now she must pay with her heart.
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Hi there!
Thanks a bunch for getting in touch. Below you'll find more information on working together, including:
- A detailed look at my design process
- Pricing & packages
- Payment plans
- How we'll communicate during the project
- Timelines
- What I'll need from you before the project begins
- Frequently asked questions
After you've had a look, head this way to schedule a free design consultation.
Your brand + website should look as professional as I know YOU are.
I know you're probably wondering why you should invest in design.
"Is it worth thousands of my hard-earned dollars??"
The answer? Yes.
Good design will convert more website visitors into subscribers and customers.
Good design will help you bring in more inquiries.
Good design will take you from where you are to where you're dreaming of being!
Don't just take my word for it. Read what my clients think of working with me and how it has impacted their business...
The Step by Step Process
01. Free consultation. After you've read through this page, you can schedule a free consultation. You'll be able to ask me any questions you have before booking!
02. Pay your deposit. Once you've decided you want to move forward, you'll need to pay a 50% deposit to secure your spot in my schedule. The final 50% is due when the project is complete but before the final files are handed over. For Squarespace sites, when the project is approved by you, I will give you instructions on how to log in and pay for your yearly hosting, domain name and/or GSuite email.
03. Sign my contract. We'll both need to sign my contract so that we're fully protected before we begin working together.
04. Project management. I'll add you to my project management system, Dubsado. This is where we'll communicate and keep all your files and feedback. Don't worry - I'll provide you with a video tutorial on how to use it!
05. Homework. You'll need to fill a secret Pinterest board with inspiration and answer a questionnaire. Then you'll need to upload all your website content to our shared Dropbox folder (that I will send you a link to).
06. Consult call. 1-2 weeks before your project begins, we'll hop on a 30 minute call if you're up for it. This is the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions you may have!
07. Moodboard, color palette & logo design. I'll start the design process by creating a moodboard that summarizes your brand aesthetic and colour palette. I'll show you two concepts for your main logo. You'll choose the one you like best, and then I'll refine it over two revision rounds.
08. Brand board. Your brand board will include the other brand elements listed in your package (logo variations, sub mark, patterns and fonts etc.) You'll get to see all the elements on one board. Then you'll have two revision rounds to make changes.
09. Social media branding. If social media branding is included in your package then this is the time I'd create it.
10. Website design. I'll design a mockup of your homepage before I start working on the live site. You'll have one revision round to request changes. After you've approved it, I'll turn it into your live site and I'll make your other pages! You'll then have two rounds of revisions.
11. Final payment. Before I hand over your final files and website, you'll need to complete your final payment. I'll then send you the link to a Dropbox folder containing your finalized brand files and I'll hand your website over. You'll also receive access to my client area where you'll find Squarespace tutorials and advice to help you maintain your website.
12. Website video tutorial. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you to figure out how to use your website all by yourself. We'll set up a 30 minute consult call where I walk you through how to use and update your website.
• Some of these steps may not apply. It depends on whether your package includes them.
Pricing + Packages
Side note: The prices above are in USD because most of my clients are based in the US, but I work with clients from all over the world. Use a currency converter like this one to find the cost in your own currency!
Frequently Asked Questions
What platform will you build my website on?
I'll use Squarespace to build your site. It's easy, fun and simple for you to use on your own when the design process is finished.
Do I need to buy a domain or hosting before working with you?
Nope, you can buy your domain directly through Squarespace. However, if you already have a domain somewhere else (like GoDaddy), that's cool too. I'll just redirect your domain to your Squarespace website!
Do you offer any other services?
Yes, I offer business card design, flyer design, PDF design, social media design, sales page design and more. Just let me know if there's anything extra that you're interested in and I'll send you a quote!
How quickly can I work with you? Can you start working with me next week?
I'm usually booked a month in advance, sorry!

KiwiRail welcomes Governor General on TranzAlpine journey
25 February 2016 9:09AM
KiwiRail today welcomed the Governor General and representatives from West Coast tourism businesses, conservation and wider local community as guests on its TranzAlpine train journey. TranzAlpine celebrates 30 years of operating in 2017 and carries more than 130,000 visitors between Christchurch and Greymouth each year.
KiwiRail Chief Executive Peter Reidy says, "The popularity of TranzAlpine is testament to the stunning scenery and the care of local environment, and we are proud to have the Governor General and wider community on-board."
KiwiRail's passenger and freight services are important for the region says Peter, "Recently West Coast Tourism estimated that TranzAlpine passengers bring in excess of $15 million to the region's economy. The service is often full on peak days and future volumes are looking good. Passenger numbers increased by 12% on last year and revenue for the service is now in excess of pre-earthquake levels."
KiwiRail's Tourism services allows train travel from the West Coast across to Christchurch and then all the way up to Auckland Peter says, "We have the TranzAlpine that offers a spectacular train journey traversing coast to coast through New Zealand's Southern Alps; the Coastal Pacific which links with our Interislander ferries; and the Northern Explorer connecting Wellington and Auckland. Our Scenic Journeys rail trips experienced record passenger numbers last week with more than 1,200 people travelling on all its services in one day."
The Midland Line which carries the TranzAlpine over the Southern Alps is also an important freight route carrying milk from Hokitika and coal from Ngakawau to Christchurch and Rolleston.
About the TranzAlpine
- The TranzAlpine runs daily throughout the year between Christchurch and Greymouth
- The passenger service was introduced 22 November 1987 and rapidly became recognised as one of the world's best train journeys
- The TranzAlpine has been rated by Lonely Planet as a 'must do' and received a Trip Advisor certificate of excellence
- The TranzAlpine travels along the Midland line which opened in 1923 runs over 200 km between Rolleston and Greymouth. Arthur's Pass is at 900m above sea level, and to reach it trains must climb the steepest section of track on KiwiRail's network with a gradient of 1:33
- The Midland line features five major bridges, five viaducts and 17 tunnels, the longest of which is the Otira tunnel at 8.5km
- The train departs Christchurch at 08:15 returning at 18:05. It stops at Greymouth for 1hr, arriving at 12:45 and departing at 13:45
- Travellers benefit from unique panorama carriages. The carriages were designed and built in New Zealand with a glass roof and panoramic side windows, enabling them to take in the spectacular views
- There is also an open air viewing deck, GPS triggered at seat commentary and an on-board licenced café showcasing New Zealand food and wine
- The services is pulled by two DFB diesel locomotives

"Meddle, not now. Not here." Both Walter and Ama's faces had become white, and several people who passed Walter noticed the chill near their table, drawing confused looks. He then pointed at Jeremy, but shifted his eyes down toward the evertorch on their table. "And as for you, I don't know what you think you're doing, but you need to show some sense. We're not the only people here, you know."
The faint shadow in the evertorch sank toward the table, as if sulking. Jeremy noticed several people looking toward him wearing sympathetic expressions. He nodded toward Walter and pursed his lips with a glum expression. With a nod of understanding, those who had witnessed the exchange turned back toward their own meals.
"I've had enough of this slop. Meddle, Jeremy, it's time leave now."
Ama stood up, as did Jeremy, who muttered a weak, "Yessir" as he did so.
As they moved toward the cafeteria exit, a hand reached out and touched Walter's elbow. The old trader turned to see a young woman glancing up at him. His eyes softened slightly as he took notice of who was interrupting his departure.
"Sir, I know it's not my place to comment on how you manage your apprentice. But publicly shaming him like that did seem to be a bit harsh."
Walter slipped back into what Jeremy had begun to think of as his country accent, "Ma'am, Jeremy here is a good lad, but sometimes forgets his place, if you get my meanin'."
"Well, even so."
"Even so, Ma'am, I'm thinkin' I know what's best for the lad long run. Worst I ever did ta'him was a quick tongue-lashing, and nothing more. I treat my lads like my own children. Ain't that right, lad?"
Jeremy looked toward the ground, but answered, "Yessir."
"But surely…"
"Surely I know what's right for my own lad. He'll be a great trader someday, and a few tongue-whippin's won't hurt him none."
The woman shrugged. "I must accept your judgement. As you say, he is your lad. Don't think such behavior is alway going to be acceptable, good trader. Youth like this one are our future, and we will see them treated right."
Walter stepped back from the woman's touch. "Noted ma'am. Now if you'll excuse me, my lad and I need to depart."
Walter took Jeremy's arm, displaying a little more force than he actually applied to the young man's arm. The two then followed Ama out from the cafeteria and made their way to the stables.
As Walter and Jeremy checked the horses' packs he finally said, "What, was that about?"
Ama glanced back over toward the cafeteria and shook her head. "Walter, I'm not sure. Certainly you did nothing unusual for a trader dealing with his apprentice."
"She acted like I was going to do violence to the lad!"
"Walter, I did notice a lot of people looking at us after you scolded the shadow. They looked rather upset with you for speaking like that."
"I felt their disapproval as well, Old Fox, and that worries me."
"What did you feel, Meddle?"
"I felt as though people's expectations were being met. You are a trader from the outer settlements, and they expect you to be brutal."
"And me looking like I was scolding Jeremy just confirmed their suspicions. Is that it?"
Ama nodded. "I do believe so, yes. Something has changed, Walter. Can't you feel it? It's ugly."
"I don't have your gifts, Meddle, but I haven't liked what I've seen so far. That's for sure."
"I feel it."
Walter and Ama turned to Jeremy.
"What's that, lad?"
"I feel it, Walter. I've felt is since we exited the tunnel, but I didn't really know what it was. It feels like… it feels like everyone's tensing their muscles or holding their breath. Or something. I'm not sure how to describe it."
"You're doing very well, Jeremy. Surprisingly so, in fact. Can you describe what you are feeling with a color?"
He closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated on the noxious feelings he was experiencing all around him. After a moment he said, "Purple. The color is purple."
"Ama, what?"
"It appears, Old Fox, that Jeremy is more than even we knew."
"You don't mean?"
She nodded. "Yes, Jeremy is both a pathfinder and a healer. Or at least, he will be once he's trained. He certainly has the gifts."
"But Meddle, there hasn't been anyone like that for a thousand years or more!"
Jeremy broke into the conversation. "Wait, people can't be both a healer and a pathfinder?"
"Well, Jeremy, they can. As Walter pointed out, we haven't seen the likes of you for over a thousand years."
"In other words, lad, the last time pathfinder healers roamed The Valleys was during the Extinction War."
"But that doesn't mean there's going to be a war, right?"
"Maybe, Jeremy, but the color you have seen doesn't bode well."
"Why is that?"
"Because, lad, purple is the color of barely checked rage. The color we have always associate with the Extinction War."
"The treaty is broken" whispered a voice. The three friends glanced up at an evertorch and saw the shadow, perched in a corner of the mounted light.

Some trucking companies in Quebec are considering suing the province's Transport Ministry for effectively putting 135 bridges off-limits by increasing the weight restrictions.
Today's Trucking reports that heavy haulers in particular claim the restrictions have paralyzed their businesses.
The restrictions were put in place after a bridge collapse in Laval killed five people and injured six in September 2006.

Norris, Texas Ranger: Martial arts action hero Chuck honoured with real Ranger titlePosted on Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 7:44 am
by IDMA Editor
He spent years enforcing the law on-screen, playing Texas Ranger tough-guy Cordell Walker. But now veteran action hero Chuck Norris can wear the five-point Ranger badge for real. The 70-year-old was named an honorary member of the elite Texas law enforcement force by Texas Governor, Rick Perry, on Thursday.
All action hero: Chuck Norris, pictured with his wife Gena O'Kelley, at a ceremony in Garland where he was designated an honorary Texas Ranger
The Walker, Texas Ranger actor and executive director was bestowed the rare honour at a state department office in Garland, Dallas. Perry said: 'People may whisper about his super powers, but the greatest power of Chuck Norris is his integrity.'
The Texas Governor thanked the actor for bringing renewed attention to Texas Rangers with his portrayal of 'an iconic Ranger, a character who was observant, meticulous and honorable in every way."
The martial arts expert received his award alongside his 59-year-old brother stunt coordinator and producer Aaroan Norris who also was bestowed the honorary title.
'Together they helped elevate our Texas Rangers to truly mythical status,' Perry said
Tough guy: The karate expert, who set up his own martial art, laughs with Texas Governor Rick Perry during a news conference
Honour: The certificate given to Norris appointing him to the honorary position of Texas Ranger, a role he played in the hit CBS show between 1993 and 2001
Texas Public Safety Commission Chairman Allan Polunsky, who voted to honor the Norris brothers in October, called them 'great Texans' who have worked to make 'this a better society to live in.'
The television show in which Norris played the karate-kicking lawman ran on CBS from 1993 to 2001.
Chuck Norris recalled that he and his brother were in Israel when they were asked to do the series.
He said they weren't interested unless they could do it with 'traditional values,' adding that Hollywood types initially scoffed. 'It's been an incredible run, I wouldn't have it any other way.'
Hit: Norris as the iconic hero Cordell Walker
Norris' tough guy image led to odes to his strength being splashed across the internet.
Claims based on the actors indestructible toughness include: 'Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage.'
Norris is a staunch Republican supporter who made a cameo during the 2008 presidential election, joining a stern-faced Republican candidate Mike Hukabee in espousing such strength in a satirical online video. Hukabee's plan for border security? 'Two words, Chuck. Norris.'
The actor, who found fame flexing his martial art moves in films such as Way Of The Dragon alongside Bruce Lee established a martial arts foundation Kickstart to help children avoid the temptations of drugs.
Before his acting career took off the martial arts teacher competed at state, national and international level and his achievements include being a six-time undefeated World Professional MiddleWeight Karate Champion.

Do you think there is a future for your kids in South Africa?
"That changes from day to day. It depends on the news reported. As a white person I sometimes feel helpless. For example, my dad and I are are working day and night to build up a business. We've put everything into it but BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) legislation means we'll effectively have to give away 25% of the business if we want to keep doing business with some of our customers.
"It also means many of our smartest kids can't get jobs in their own country and leave.
"I try to stay positive but it's hard. With all the legislation and compliance requirements, it's difficult to do business. So yes, I do often think my kids could be better off overseas. We love this country but we don't feel secure."

- publisher and date: Front Street, 2002
- genre: realistic fiction
- age/grade: young adult
Synopsis (from www.bn.com)
2001 National Book Award Nominee
When she is five, Young Ju Park and her family move from Korea to California. During the flight, they climb so far into the sky she concludes they are on their way to Heaven, that Heaven must be in America. Heaven is also where her grandfather is. When she learns the distinction, she is so disappointed she wants to go home to her grandmother. Trying to console his niece, Uncle Tim suggests that maybe America can be "a step from Heaven." Life in America, however, presents problems for Young Ju's family. Her father becomes depressed, angry, and violent. Jobs are scarce and money is even scarcer. When her brother is born, Young Ju experiences firsthand her father's sexism as he confers favored status upon the boy who will continue to carry the Park name. In a wrenching climactic scene, her father beats her mother so severely that Young Ju calls the police. Soon afterward, her father goes away and the family begins to heal.
Author's Perspective: An Na has an insider's perspective. She was born in Korea, just like Young Ju in the book, and then grew up in San Diego. She now lives part time in Warren, Vermont.
In An Na's words from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program Website:
A Step from Heaven grew from a need to express some of the longings and frustrations that I felt as an immigrant growing up in America. Many people ask me if this novel is autobiographical and I always respond by saying yes and no. As with all writing, the novel draws on past emotions, but the story is not my life. What the protagonist and I do share are some of the feelings of yearning, joy, and shame that come with trying to negotiate a foreign culture.
Literary Elements:
Character – The characters were compelling. We follow Young Ju from a five year old to a young adult. We see her grapple with various issues and also grow and become strong and independent by the end of the story.
Theme – There are 2 overlapping themes in this story. One theme is that of a family struggling to hold onto a culture while also becoming part of a new culture. The other theme is that of domestic abuse.
Tone and Style– When Young Ju arrives in America, we actually hear and experience it just as she does. The language is drawn out into almost unrecognizable syllables, as if we were hearing it with Young Ju's ears.
Curriculum Connections:
- Make a time line – This story follows Young Ju over many years and important events. Readers could make a time line documenting these events.
- Research Getting Inside the Author's Head – (From TeacherVision) A Step from Heaven is semi-autobiographical. Ask students to research the author's life and find parallels between An Na and Young Ju. They should then report where they found similarities and where they found differences. Discuss why the author might have chosen to include or change certain aspects of her life
- Immigration Unit – Use as part of an immigration unit. Compare Young Ju's experience with that of a character in another book.
Web Resources:
- Interview with An Na
- Information about Korea
- Appreciating America's Heritage – Immigration Resource Guide for K-12 Educators (2007)
Publishers Weekly (from www.bn.com)
In her mesmerizing first novel, Na traces the life of Korean-born Young Ju from the age of four through her teenage years, wrapping up her story just a few weeks before she leaves for college. The journey Na chronicles, in Young's graceful and resonant voice, is an acculturation process that is at times wrenching, at times triumphant and consistently absorbing. Told almost like a memoir, the narrative unfolds through jewel-like moments carefully strung together. As the book opens, Young's parents are preparing to move from Korea to "Mi Gook," America, where the residents all "live in big houses." Soaring through the sky on her first airplane ride, the child believes she is on her way to heaven, where she hopes to meet up with her deceased grandfather and eventually be reunited with her beloved grandmother, who has stayed behind. After the family's arrival, Young's American uncle dispels the notion that the United States is heaven, yet adds, "Let us say it is a step from heaven." It doesn't take the girl or her parents very long to realize how steep this step is. From her first sip of Coca-Cola, which "bites the inside of my mouth and throat like swallowing tiny fish bones," Young's new life catches her in a tug-of-war between two distinct cultures. When her brother is born, her father announces "Someday my son will make me proud," then disdainfully dismisses Young's assertion that she might grow up to be president ("You are a girl"). Although she learns English in school, Young must speak only Korean at home and is discouraged from spending time with the classmate who is her sole friend. Her father, a disillusioned, broken man, becomes increasingly physically and emotionally abusive to his children and wife as he descends further into alcoholism. In fluid, lyrical language, Na convincingly conveys the growing maturity of her perceptive narrator who initially (and seamlessly) laces her tale with Korean words, their meaning evident from the context. And by its conclusion, readers can see a strong, admirable young woman with a future full of hope. Equally bright are the prospects of this author; readers will eagerly await her next step. Ages 12-up. (Apr.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
School Library Journal (from www.amazon.com)
Grade 8 Up-An Na's 2002 Printz winning novel (Front St., 2001) is brought to full effect in this reading by Jina Oh. Young Ju emigrates from Korea with her parents when she is four. A few months later, they live in a shabby apartment in Southern California, their family expanded to include a newborn baby boy. The parents work long hours at multiple jobs, and Young Ju struggles first to understand what is going on in school and then to be permitted to participate in typically American schoolgirl activities. The pressures of immigration, language difficulties, and oppositional cultural expectations lead Young Ju's father to become a bitter and often drunk man, physically abusive of his wife and, eventually, his daughter. The stresses of the disintegrating family work on each of its members, sending Young Ju's mother into a religious foray and her brother into middle school truancy. By the time Young Ju is ready to leave for college, her father has returned to Korea and her mother has been able to establish the family in their own American home. Each of the chapters in this emotionally succinct novel might be read as a short story, although the plot-the acclimation of one young girl to a new culture and to her own family-is steady and at times suspenseful. Young Ju's narrative voice matures as she does: in early childhood, she is unclear about identity and place, later she becomes impatient with the limitations placed on her by both culture and her own understanding of what is needed, and at last she matures to a young woman who can appreciate the fact that individuals must admit to their strengths and weaknesses in order to enjoy life's possibilities. The language is rich, studded with Korean words made intelligible both by context and the reader's easy pronunciation. Tunes are sung gently and well, and there is dramatic differentiation made among the cast of characters, making this audio version an enrichment of an already superb text.

I'm not getting on here regularly enough to post as things happen but I am jotting all my ideas down and storing my photos for those stolen moments when Joel is asleep. We haven't developed much of a routine yet, well what can you expect from a seven week old? So life at Oakbank still very much revolves around him.
A couple of weeks ago Millie and I got out on a stroll up the hill with him, we hadn't gone more than a few feet when Joel got his first bit of luck, a lucky leaf!
If you aren't familiar with this it's when a leaf falls from a tree and lands on you, perhaps it's seen as a rarity and that's why it's so good. It's certainly better than being struck by a bird poo, which strangely enough is also considered lucky! This is probaby something thought up to console the poo victim. Anyhow, this was a reminder of how autumn is well and truely with us now. Joels first autumn.

...lucky leaf
4 comments:
Such a sweet picture and he doesn't seem at all bothered by the leaf in his face. I haven't heard of a lucky leaf but you're right it's much better than bird poo!ReplyDelete
hello, i am a silent reader but i keep on reading your blog frequentlyReplyDelete
nice blog you have here
congratulation for being the mother of lovely joel

The dead leaf meets life. It's very lively as photoReplyDelete
It wasn't millie you were with, it was me!ReplyDelete
I was pooed on by a little bird the day after my birthday two years ago, I was a bit miffed but then Jeff said it was lucky so it wasn't so bad after all!

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is set to endorse Prime Minister Stephen Harper at a Conservative campaign rally Friday evening. It will mark the first time the Mayor, whose resounding victory in the municipal campaign excited federal and provincial Tories, jumps into the federal race.
Adrienne Batra, the Mayor's press secretary, confirmed that he will be introducing the prime minister at a rally in Brampton.
"It's coming down to the wire in terms of the election and the Conservative platform and the message that Prime Minister Harper has been giving, lower taxes, is very important to the City of Toronto, particularly on the corporate tax side. We need to create jobs here and have a competitive tax environment," said Ms. Batra.

I love roasted vegetables - they're so healthy, easy and delicious, and when paired with couscous, as in this recipe, they make for a quick full meal, as couscous is just as quick and easy to prepare. For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese.
For extra protein, use quinoa in place of the couscous. Recipe by the Wheat Foods Council.
What You'll Need
- 1 10-ounce box couscous
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 small yellow squash, sliced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3/4 tsp minced garlic
- 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 5 ounces feta cheese (optional)
How to Make It
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare couscous according to package directions.
- Combine bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic, seasoning, oil and balsamic vinegar and toss with vegetables.
- Spread vegetables evenly in sheet pan and roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Reserve left over marinade.
- Allow vegetables to cool slightly, then toss with remaining marinade, couscous and feta cheese.

Hey, suddenly my status changed from 6502 to "Matey"! Can anyone tell me why this happened?
not to mention some mod's tars being larger, and DocQ status changing, also Beck446's status has changed to Town Clerk
I'm jealous. Maybe the mods have found favor in you.
ah and i am now a Coxswain, it appears all the 6502 are mateys
MacRumors has been hacked!!!!! Our ranking system is F'ed up.
Well, now you're a Matey, too.
both edesign and Q's sigs have been changed, as well as Q's location and staus
its flippin april fools. what do you expect? bigger mod tars, odd titles and such...duh...
edit: w00t! i'm a matey. i guess that's a 6502 and a coxswain is a 65816? editx2 just looked at placeofdis' profile; guess coxswain is a higher ranking. oh, about the post below mine--was it a conspiracy or something? did i blow it?...or is he referring to something else?
Quick someone notify the police, i mean the mods. Code Red we have a fault
Just saw a "Captain Jack Sparrow"... looks like edesignuk's gonna use this as an excuse to declare himself Orlando Bloom, so he can get Keira.
65820 is my staus actually, check out Mr. Adnderson's thread "Gar" i suppose he is the one behind it all
Nice April Fools I might add.
Me wants bigger 'tar.
As far as April Fools Jokes go... this one had me confused for a second. But its a bit early, isn't it, for us on the West Coast?
it confused me a bit too obviously, i think because i saw everything chaning slowly before my eyes, rather than uniformly, LoL thats what i get for being up this late
Yeah, that's why I was confused... all the other old rankings were still showing, only I was a Matey. Thought maybe I'd stumbled into some weird ranking:
500 - 891 = 6502
892 = Matey
893-999 = 6502
Hmm, demi-goddess equals...
Demi goddess apparently.
No, because I have about 1,000 posts and I was changed to Matey.
Don't knock it. It's still cool...
Yeah, you could always be a "Seedy Looking Prisoner".
LOL! That's exactly how I feel today too -- hiho, it's off to work we go...
Hey, im a Matey to! Whats going on here. haha
Ahoy, Matey!
And it is, it is a glorious thing, to be the Pirate King!
Happy April Fools, everyone!
What's a Murtogg? It doesn't show up in the Pirate dictionary
This is hilarious, I wish it was always like this...
Numbers aren't half as fun.

"Think historically, to make decisions for the present, to plan for the future."
"Continue to add data points to your mind-map to make a constellation of ideas."
By S.K.
Background Information
David Dewane is an architect and a visiting professor at the Catholic University of America School of Architecture and Planning in Washington, DC. In 2010 he founded Librii with seed funding from the World Bank Institute. Librii is an environment focused on knowledge creation. More than just the Internet, Librii uniquely packages cutting-edge, locally-tailored, open-access content that drives users to learn, create, and disseminate their knowledge. Set up as a community-based, franchised network, Librii is run by local entrepreneurs and staffed by librarians.
Our Experience
At the Catholic University of America, we were first introduced to the HARVEST HOME by Mr. Dewane. The HARVEST HOME is a project by the Team Capitol DC, a combined team with Catholic University being one of the three members. The home produces solar energy and naturally warmed hot water sustaining the house itself as well as the people who live in it. Ultimately, the house will be a net-zero energy building. It will compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's 2013 Solar Decathlon, an award-winning program that chooses the most sustainable and entertaining home out of 20 collegiate teams. The HARVEST HOME taught us that architecture is not only the art of shelter-making, but also has a major role in developing a sustainable society.
Next, we were lectured by Mr. Dewane, what his project, Librii, was about and how he thought up of it. He said that he first thought up of Librii in his car when he was listening to the radio. He was having trouble connecting two of his ideas but when he heard the word library off the radio, the ideas suddenly linked together inside his mind and created a whole new idea of Librii.
The Big ideas
Ideas don't come out of nowhere. In order to have a "great idea," we must continue to add "data points" to our mind-maps. If we have enough data points in our mind, they may coincidentally connect and create something you have never thought of before. This is the beginning to social entrepreneurship.
To sum up, we learned that building society is like building a home: to analyze the past, to take action in the present, to make a better future. To make this possible, we must plot bits of information in our minds by reading books and gathering information. Only after then will we be able to come up with great ideas.

What is the correlation between urban traffic and the quality of urban life?
Urban population growth, congestion of urban traffic and pollution are correlations that give rise to unpleasant projections!
The UN estimates that more than 70% of the population on land will live in cities in 2050. In European countries, according to Eurostat, it is already 72% of the population on average that is urban!
At the same time, according to INRIX calculations, traffic congestion is a global phenomenon which has averaged 9% of driving time in 2016. According to their ranking, for Parisian drivers for example, this represented 65.3 hours in the corks in 2016.
Correspondingly, according to the European Environment Agency, air pollution causes 403 000 premature deaths in Europe per year, 50% of which are due to motor vehicle traffic (EEA).
Before going any further, let's look at Wikipedia's definition of sustainable mobility: "The notion of eco-mobility or sustainable mobility is a recent concept that emerged after the crises of energy and global warming climate change, in the wake of sustainable development issues. It combines the design, implementation and management of modes of transport deemed to be less harmful to the environment, safe and sober, in particular with a lower contribution to greenhouse gas emissions "
Smart mobility for environmental preservation
In the light of these findings, the European Union has set itself the overall objective of reducing the environmental impact of transport in Europe by reducing 80 to 95% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (EEA).
Together, the "Assises de la Mobility", launched by the French government on September 19, 2017 in Paris, invite companies, local authorities, associations and the general public to reflect and co-construct changes in transport, by 2030.
In a context where all our resources are limited, optimizing the use of infrastructures rather than building new ones is undoubtedly an essential lever. Technologies for smart management of transport networks exist and have been proven for several decades now.
They represent a key link in the optimization of the use of transport infrastructures, which undoubtedly contributes to reducing the environmental impact. In urban areas, dynamic traffic regulation clearly contributes to the transition to sustainable mobility by streamlining traffic, optimizing priorities for public transport, reducing pollutant emissions and contributing to noise reduction in cities.
IoT offers solutions that deserve more attention
Among many relevant measures, such as encouraging carpooling, the use of soft modes, the transition to electromobility; in order to better exploit and sustain the existing road infrastructure, real-time traffic regulation proves that it is in many ways a key option with a significant impact.
Today's technological advances offer the power and agility of wireless vehicle detection systems, which are useful for informed decision-making, optimal traffic management and the operation of related infrastructure, or to inform automated traffic control processes.
Specifically, smart sensors, embedded in the roadway, detect the vehicles by measuring the earth's magnetic field variation and, in real time, transmit the necessary data to PLCs for field equipment for the dynamic control of the flows on the road network.
Thanks to these systems, it is possible to act quickly on many levers:
- Facilitate the local management of traffic junctions,
- Improve the flow of traffic on the road network,
- Implement strategies for coordinating neighborhood and city-level traffic lights,
- Manage priorities for public transport.
To better understand, take a look at this short animation: http://bit.ly/2mOqTcW
Wireless Vehicle Detection Systems for Sustainable Mobility
The interest of miniature wireless sensors lies in their minimal invasion of the infrastructure as well as in their energy autonomy but also in their onboard computing capacity and their synchronization mechanism for the real-time ascent of useful data, to the control automation of the traffic lights or to the central control unit.
Here is the core of advanced traffic control systems!
Based on robust radio networks with urban interference, broadband, low power consumption and extended range, such as those implemented by HIKOB, wireless vehicle detection systems guarantee the transmission in real time of an unprecedented quantity and accuracy of information to interact directly in the field with the equipment (light controller, PMV, etc.) or to feed the calculation algorithms of the central PC.
It is this continuous, centralized and remote access to crucial information, distributed locally, which allows a fine and dynamic control of the simplest intersection, the most complex crossroads, a set of crossroads on a scale of a neighborhood up to the management of the entire city junctions.
Wireless technologies are driving real-time traffic control into an unparalleled level of service and intelligence to optimize the operation of road networks and induce:
Direct benefits:
Smart mobility
- reduced travel times
- Fluidification of urban traffic
- Improved driving comfort
- Securing traffic
Indirect improvements:
A best-preserved environment
- Increased air quality
- Reduction of noise
A fostered economy
- Control of operating costs
- Reduced transportation costs
- Easy access to city services
Combined with other measures, the urban traffic management in real time is undoubtedly contributing to meet the challenges of the city, as of now and for the future.

The European Foundation for Support of Culture will hold the New Names Malta Festival – comprising of a series of concerts by Malta's young stars and also young talented musicians from other nations.
The New Names Malta – National Music Programme was established in 2015 under the patronage of the President of Malta H.E. Ms Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca. This programme was initiated to search, selection and promotion of very youthful musicians. The initiator and president of this programme is maestro Alan Chircop, a prominent Maltese musical figure and international orchestra conductor.
The artistic committee of the New Names Malta – National Music Programme will comprise prominent figures in the world of arts, outstanding musicians, professors and pedagogues from the best conservatoires, music academies and other international higher education establishments.
Participants of the Festival are granted a unique opportunity to display their talents to a broader public, to make friends with other young performers from different countries sharing the same interests and possessing similar talents, who might be brought up in a different national environment. Playing together, young musicians will perform works of modern Maltese and other European composers.
Concerts by young classical talents will take place at prestigious concert halls in Malta, such as the Mediterranean Conference Centre, St. Francis Oratorio, Robert Samut Hall, with appearances also at San Anton Presidential Palace and the Parliament. During their performance, young stars will be supported by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and the Malta Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.

About the Digital Sender
The Hewlett-Packard Digital Senders are, in essence, networked scanners. The 8100c, which is out of production, was the second such device that HP made; the current model (as of February 2008) is the 9200c. The 8100c supports scanning to PDF, JPEG, or TIFF files which are then sent as email attachments, faxing, and copying printed documents directly to a JetSend supported printer.
The 8100c appears to be formed — in both a physical, and logical sense — from a SCSI scanner, an automatic document feeder, and a low-end computer with a simple keyboard and four-line LCD output subsystem. The computer has a fixed amount of on-board memory, an EIO interface used to provide network connectivity, a SCSI interface for the scanner, and an IDE hard drive interface.
My 8100c is configured with an HP j3110a/JetDirect 600N 10Base-T EIO card. This card provides the ethernet interface to the scanner. The current firmware load doesn't support MacOS and refuses to provide a web interface to a Macintosh. If, however, Safari is set to report itself as being Internet Explorer, the card works perfectly; this is obviously an arbitrary exclusion.
The appeal of the digital sender, at least to me, was platform independence. I didn't want to need to fiddle around with unsupported, closed-source drivers under Linux, nor did I want to support a Windows system sitting right next to a scanner simply to support scanning and faxing documents. That said, HP never claimed that the system was capable of working with any OS but Windows.
Configuring the Digital Sender
The JetDirect card in the 8100c can be configured via DHCP, BOOTP, or manual settings. I find it to be easiest to use a statically assigned DHCP address. The settings can be modified at the front panel or through the web interface.
With the exception of the network configuration, the settings on the digital sender need to be entered at the keyboard of the unit. Since the keyboard isn't very good — there's no way to touch-type on it — and the display is marginal, the initial configuration can be a bit tedious. The configuration is saved on the hard drive in the sender, so this should be a one-time process; hopefully any subsequent changes are minor.
The digital sender normally uses the SMTP server on your network to send both email and faxes. Faxes are sent through an electronic fax service; the unit does not contain a modem and cannot send faxes directly. LDAP can be configured to provide email addresses and fax numbers; OpenLDAP works without any issues.
While TCP/IP, SMTP, SNMP and LDAP were easy to configure, faxing took additional research and planning. My goal was to integrate with an existing HylaFAX server on the network.
It turns out that the 8100c sends faxes as simple email messages with the scanned documents attached to the message already encoded as a TIFF file, ready to be transmitted. The destination fax number is the "local part" of the destination email address and the domain is whatever has been configured as the fax service on the digital sender.
To configure faxing through a local fax server, first set the fax provider domain name in the "Settings → I-Fax" menu. I set up a new domain specifically and only for faxing. The most significant benefit to putting faxes on their own domain is ease of control; it is simpler to write rules when all the traffic in a domain should be from an internal network client (or device) to a fax server. Note that the "LAN Fax" functionality is not needed.
My network uses Exim as an MTA; the following recipe will have to be adjusted for other agents. Shown first is the driver section. It will process any mail destination in the "fax.anomalous.net" domain.
driver = accept
domains = fax.anomalous.net
transport = fax_delivery
Next, the driver, which is referenced from
the fax transport. Note that it invokes the
script, which is run as the user "exim." The mail
message is delivered to
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/fax.pl $local_part"
user = exim
Last, fax.pl is a small PERL script that simply breaks out the TIFF data from the email received from the digital sender, decodes the MIME-encoded image and pipes it to "sendfax" with the proper parameters (including the phone number, of course, which is taken from the command line.
If you are considering implementing a system similar to this, you may wish to give further thought to either "hardening" the PERL script or locking down access to the fax mail domain. This is easily done if only a few devices need access to send faxes, and is a worthwhile process even in a small network setting.
Keep In Mind…
- Make an image of the hard drive. The system originally came with a 4GB drive; this is the size of a SDRAM card today. There simply is no excuse for not keeping a backup in case of failure. I used a Rosewill RCW-607 IDE-to-USB adapter to connect the drive from the digital sender to a computer, then used "dd" (a standard UNIX command) to copy the raw data — including the partition table — to another system. I have since performed the same process in reverse to copy the image onto a new Maxtor DiamondMax10 200GB PATA drive that I had lying around; it works well, and the new drive is substantially less noisy than the Quantum drive that came with the unit. Yes, 196GB of the drive is wasted. I intend to test out a SDRAM card with an IDE-to-SDRAM adapter in place of the hard drive. If it works, it will consume less energy and be completely silent.
- The power supply appears to be a low-budget unit. While I haven't experienced any problems with it, I'm concerned for the future. Worse, it's not a standard PC-type power supply, though it obviously does produce standard voltages. My fingers are crossed on this one; hopefully I'll be able to repair or replace it if a problem occurs.
- The "glass" scanning surface is actually plastic and has not aged particularly well; it is starting to get cloudy. I intend to remove the plastic and see if a piece of glass can be mounted in its place.
- The keyboard really is awful, but the keys don't "bounce" and it has been quite serviceable. I wouldn't want to do a lot of typing on it, but then again, you don't need to — it's only for entering email addresses and fax numbers.
- The LCD display doesn't have a backlight. This is a significant inconvenience to me; I keep my office dim. The more-expensive-at-the-time Digital Sender 9100c has a nicer backlit display. I hope to look into a retrofit.
- The software in the digital sender appears to be written using VRTX, a real-time operating system that I know from my work at Motorola, where it was used in cellular infrastructure equipment. VRTX contains extensions to read and write DOS FAT partitions, and you will find that some of the partitions on the hard drive can be mounted. In them, you'll find some interesting test data as well as your configuration, which is retained in two separate locations for greater reliability.
- I haven't had any problems, but there are numerous reports of people who corrupted the hard drive image by shutting down the digital sender without properly "halting" it. To shut it down cleanly, press the "Alt," "Shift," and "Stop" buttons simultaneously.
