Pound Climbs Higher Versus Dollar As Investors Look To Trump's Asia Visit
The pound struggled against the strength of the US dollar on Tuesday. As a result, sterling fell to a low of US$1.3110, before climbing higher towards the end of the session. The pound finished the day trading at just 0.1% lower versus the dollar.
|What do these figures mean?
When measuring the value of a pair of currencies, one set equals 1 unit and the other shows the current equivalent. As the market moves, the amount will vary from minute to minute.
For example, it could be written: 1 GBP = 1.28934 USD
Here, £1 is equivalent to approximately $1.29. This specifically measures the pound's worth against the dollar. If the US dollar amount increases in this pairing, it's positive for the pound.
Or, if you were looking at it the other way around: 1 USD = 0.77786 GBP
In this example, $1 is equivalent to approximately £0.78. This measures the US dollar's worth versus the British pound. If the sterling number gets larger, it's good news for the dollar.
The pound was under pressure after the British Retail Consortium (BRC) released figures showing a sharp decline in UK retail sales. BRC data pointed to total retail sales increasing by just 0.2% in October; like for like (LFL) growth in sales dropped 1%, a massive turnaround from September's increase of 1.9%. LFL growth figure is a more reliable indicator of current sales trade because it measures growth in sales while adjusting the data for new and divested businesses, or any other activity that artificially enlarge a company's sales activity.
Delving deeper into the numbers released, sale of non-food items dropped the most in 5 years, highlighting the extent by which the UK consumer is reining in their spending. It appears that rising prices and falling wages in real terms are causing the UK consumer to hold back their spending on non-essential items. As is usual, when economic data disappoints, the currency declined.
|Why does poor economic data drag on a country's currency?
|Slowing economic indicators point to a slowing economy. Weak economies have weaker currencies because institutions look to reduce investments in countries where growth prospects are low and then transfer money to countries with higher growth prospects. These institutions sell out of their investment and the local currency, thus increasing supply of the currency and pushing down the money's worth. So, when a country or region has poor economic news, the value of the currency tends to fall.
Today is once again short on economic data that could drive the pound's direction. Investors may therefore switch their attention back towards Brexit, ahead of the start of another round of Brexit talks tomorrow and following the release of post Brexit legislation. The UK government announced a new bill which entered parliament and aims to provide the UK with a framework for independent trade for once it leaves the EU. This should help provide more certainty and clarity for businesses and trading partners, which in itself should offer support to the pound.
|Why is a smooth Brexit good for the pound?
|A smoother Brexit would be a scenario in which the economic consequences of leaving the European Union are minimised. This is favourable for the pound because the less the Brexit impact on the economy, the more likely that foreign investors will remain interested in the UK. Foreign investors need sterling to invest in the country and so the more GBP is purchased, the higher the demand and, thus, an increase in the currency's value.
Yellen & Co. Support the Dollar, Will Trump Drag It Down?
There are several factors making the US dollar attractive at the moment. These are making any recovery attempt by the pound against the dollar troublesome.
Of the the factors supporting the dollar, the most relevant right now is probably investor expectations of an interest rate hike in December. At the November meeting the Fed indicated that the door was open for a rate rise in December. As a result, the market is currently placing the odds of it happening at 95%. This has provided strength to the US dollar.
Investors will now look nervously towards President Trump and his tour of Asia. Today he is due to meet with South Korean President Moon. While comments regarding North Korea have so far been constructive, this could change at any moment given Trump's erratic past record. Any signs of trouble brewing again between North Korea and President Trump, could weigh on sentiment for the dollar.

I set up and activated the DVR service on one of my Windows 10 desktops I am designating as the DVR host. If I launch the HDHomeRun Windows 10 app on another device, I can see that it now has a record button, and if I press record it seems to record programs to the host.
However, I am having several issues:
1. If I cancel a recording task, it continues to record on the host, even if the task is no longer present.
2. I noticed that if I am watching live TV in the HDHR app on any device, the network activity of the DVR host is zero. Nothing in, nothing out. If I watch the same channel on another device, in the HDHomeRun Config GUI, I can see that it dedicates another tuner for the same channel. As I understood it before purchasing, one of the main features of the HDHR DVR was supposed to be that you had 3 people in your house watching the same show on the same channel, it wouldn't take up 3 tuners. Instead it should share the same tuner and live TV buffer. Am I wrong?
I don't know what is wrong with my configuration, or what I need to do to fix it. Or if none of this is actually supported as I understood.
- The tuner is an HDHomerun Prime.
- The channels are NOT DRM'd
- The tuner is running the most current firmware in my.hdhomerun.com and the HDHomeRun RECORD status is OK
- The apps being used are on Windows 10, Android, and Android TV'
- The firewall is disabled on the DVR server

The death celebration of the cannibal king, Shari Badat, generally known as Noce/Nasalo by Tshina speakers of Gilgit and Lower Hunza whereas Brusho of Hunza calls it Tamashaling/Thumasaling, is one of most important festival celebrated in Gilgit Baltistan. The celebration starts in early morning of 21st December when every household heads towards a specific place general a barren field holding Flambeaus of alpine firewood, every household brings burning sticks in their hands which later is given a bonfire shape by combining all the flambeaus remembering the day when Shari Badat was burnt by the brave villagers. At the arrival of every villager, starts the melodious and unique music by local musicians and joyful dancing of the inhabitants around the fire that fascinates everyone. They forget about the chilly and freezing night of winters and enjoy it without thinking about hard worldly affairs.
Elders play acts wearing Special kind of cloths and transform their identity to a character generally known as "Jateer" by Shina speakers. Those Covered faces illustrate the celebration of Halloween in Eastern Style and seems like a hide and seek game because the audience try to identify the hidden faces under those covered outfits. The dance, singing and that melodious music ends At Dawn and they return home to celebrate another ritual.
Following the early morning gathering, comes the sacrifice of an animal in the memory of the death of cruel king. It is believed that if the people stop sacrificing an animal he will return someday with his evil thought of killing infants to feed himself again. Each family sacrifices an animal (a halal one) on that day every year.
You must be wondering what happens next or the celebration ends here?
Well...No, it doesn't end here. The next formal procedure is the consumption of sacrificed animal which is inimitable and exciting. Firstly they cook liver of the sacrificed animal which is fried and served to the family. For lunch, they prepare a curry with some of intestines, rumen, heart and kidneys and served it with bread made at home with wheat flour. At night they make" Gittey( a sausage like dish), shopan, and joqeṣ̌ ( these are like haggis , a Scottish dish ) with remaining intestines and stomach and secum and preserve to consume later on another festival that comes after 11 days of Noce. The remaining meat is preserved for upcoming festivals i.e. baw-no, be-phaw, maroch-tic and Ganoni.
It's very sad to say today with passing time all the rituals are hardly followed by the people, they all does sacrifice but the get together diapering from the celebration and hardly a few people celebrate it with all the formal procedures.

Dear Breeder,
Breeding for most of us is a great passion. In times where it is not easy to work economically with horses of just average quality, we all should try to put the quality in the breeding decision in the foreground. In the modern riding horse breeding, the assessment under the saddle is of outstanding importance. This is valid for stallions and mares. For our stallion collection 2011, we all the most strive to select stallions with potential for elite sport, without neglecting rideability, interior and the associated usability for the amateur customers. This sophisticated blend of proven sires and newcomers, we want to imagine you today.
We wish you a blessed and merry Christmas and happiness and success in 2011 in your breeding barn.

We are very pleased to announce that the premium stallion from the Hanoverian main licensing in Verden, Cat. No. 56, chestnut by Quaterback – Wolkentanz owned by the couple Hereth from France, will be at stud at our station in 2011. Quasar de Charry convinced with 3 very good basic gaits, lots of elasticity and rhythm and a superior type. Special mentioned are his dry texture and his uphill movement.
He was bred by Erika Lütjen from Grasberg and was 2008 the most expensive colt at the Elite Foal Auction in Verden. He descends out of the dam line of "Pille". This dam line is characterized by many successful offspring in the sport. With a winning total of almost 1.4 million Euros in Germany, more than 10 licensed stallions and 81 state premium mares this dam line guarantees for quality in sport and breeding.

So after a couple days in Quito, we decided to head to the coast to relax for a bit! Everything here is really cheap because its the "off season" which means its a bit cloudy. After we left Paseo los Monos (two weeks early) we re-budgeted without taking into account our refund of $200. Our refund paid for our apartment in Quito, our hotel in Montanita, with extra money for things like surfing lessons. That means we have nothing to worry about here except having fun!

Mendix to Usher in Smart Apps Era at Mendix World 2016
Event to Focus on IoT and Algorithmic Business in Support of Upcoming Product Launches; Premier Sponsors Include Amazon Web Services, Capgemini, First Consulting, IBM, KPN and Pivotal
BOSTON – May 10, 2016 – Mendix, a leading application Platform-as-a-Service (aPaaS) provider, announced it will unveil its vision for driving digital innovation at Mendix World 2016, June 7-8 in Rotterdam. The future of business applications, Smart Apps enable digital enterprises to put their connected things, devices and algorithms to work. Mendix's Smart Apps vision and Digital Innovation Platform to support their rapid delivery will be covered extensively in the event's keynotes, tracks and 24-hour hackathon.
From Web to Mobile to Multi-Channel to Smart Apps
Over the past decade, business applications have evolved significantly, from web applications to mobile apps to multi-channel apps that run seamlessly across platforms and devices. Despite these advancements, applications remained passive, awaiting input and direction from end users.
The converging mega-trends of Internet of Things (IoT), big data and machine learning have led to the emergence of the next generation of business applications: Smart Apps. Unlike their predecessors, Smarts Apps power innovative digital enterprises by being:
- Intelligent – They make recommendations and guide users and things to take the next best action
- Proactive – They predict what's likely to happen and automatically trigger workflows, tasks and notifications, telling users what to do when
- Contextual – They're personalized, aware of users' location, embedded in their processes and available on any channel/device
Discover Mendix's Vision for Smart Apps at Mendix World 2016
At Mendix World 2016, Mendix will unveil its vision for Smart Apps and launch major platform innovations to support their rapid delivery. While current discussion around IoT, big data and machine learning is largely technical, Mendix will share how enterprises can unlock business value by building rich experiences on top of connected devices and proprietary algorithms to transform their operations, products and business models.
Mendix's Smart Apps vision and enabling platform capabilities will be covered extensively throughout the Mendix World agenda, including in keynotes from Mendix CEO Derek Roos and CTO Johan den Haan, in the platform and strategic trends breakout tracks and during the 24-hour, IoT-themed hackathon. In addition, an impressive lineup of customers will share how they're leveraging Mendix to rapidly deliver innovative Smart Apps in support of digital transformation initiatives, including:
- KLM – Hans Luijendijk, Director Business Enterprise Architecture & Strategy, will share AFI KLM E&M's vision vision for digitally enabling its engineers, including how they leveraged the IoT to build a real-time equipment tracking app that's generating significant efficiencies and cost savings.
Premier Sponsors Underscore Open Platform Ecosystem for Rapid Smart App Delivery
Mendix also announced today Premier Sponsors for Mendix World 2016, including leading cloud platform providers Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM and Pivotal, as well as SI and consulting partners Capgemini, First Consulting and KPN. Attendees will discover how Mendix's Digital Innovation Platform enables developers to rapidly build Smart Apps without technical complexity. These sponsorships support Mendix's vision for an open platform ecosystem, which offers the fastest and easiest way to build new user experiences on top of best-in-class IoT, big data and machine learning platforms and services. Read the announcement: https://www.mendix.com/press/premier-sponsors-mendix-world-2016
"The apps of the future cannot be built with the tools of the past," said Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder of Mendix. "At Mendix World 2016, we are looking forward to outlining our vision for Smart Apps, how forward-thinking companies have already begun to build them and how our platform is helping enterprises take big leaps forward to gain competitive advantage."

Growing up, I was lucky that I had parents who were both makers themselves long before "maker" was ever a term. My mom was always sewing, quilting, embroidering, painting, cooking, and baking - while my dad was an amazing amateur wordworker, metal worker, and all around handyman (he is now an accomplished model railroader). Nonetheless, growing up in the 80s and 90s there was a definite sense that skills needed in the home were the purview of grandparents, and that people my age didn't need them.
I am glad that is changing now, that people are coming to a new understanding of what it means to make and create. I was at the faire with the creators of a life-sized R2D2 unit, a pancake-making Lego robot, and local steampunk artisans. Seeing what all the different exhibitors were doing was so exciting, and it was a pleasure to see how people reacted to my own work.
Richard Burman over at the Working Hands Project put together a short documentary about myself and the other makers who were at the Faire for the first time. I'd like to thank all of the organizers and volunteers who worked so hard to make this event happen, as it was an incredible experience. I'm excited to go back for Maker Faire 2015!

05-05-2018: We held a Crystal Lake road cleanup today. The following volunteers walked the roads and filled several trash bags of various items which people had thrown on the side of the road and at the dam area. Dolores and Al Breton, Bill Brown, Bill Brown III, Dave Gauthier, Missy and Bob Clark, Rex Joffray, Vic Laptik, Monique Lussier, Cindy McNamar, Pat and Joe Neafey. Thanks for helpingkeep our lake area clean!
2/12/2018: The good news is that we have stopped the Dam erosion. In mid-October we built a temporary coffer dam with 1200 lb. blocks, plywood, tarpand crushed stone to block the water from flowing under the bridge. We then hired a mud sucker truck and removed large quantities of mud, sand, rocks, branches, plastic, etc. We then purchased nine cubic yards of special concrete and had it pumped into the resulting huge hole. This formed a solid wall behind the dam face preventing water flowing through the boulder face. See updated photos below.
The bad news is that mother nature through us a curve ball and deluged us with several days of downpours that overran our coffer dam making it impossible to pour the reinforced concrete slab and key wall. We have been waiting for the level of the lake to drop so we could complete the project but it now appears that we have run out of time this year. As soon as the water level drops next year we will complete the project in three or four days.
Thanks to all who have contributed and supported this important project. Al Breton
9/6/17: Kayak and boat stickers are now available for CLA members. Please contact Monique Lussier at firstname.lastname@example.com.
7/25/17: From the July 25th CLA Meeting update on the Dam: We have begun purchasing material for the Dam repair. The target date to start is late August or early September. The primary obstacle for starting is the high water level. This makes building a coffer dam to hold back the lake more difficult. Lets hope we don't get a great deal of rain before then.

Weight gain can negatively affect you, both physically and emotionally. You need to do a lot of your research so that you are not starving yourself or losing too much weight at once in order to lose it. There are some tips listed below to help you start losing weight the healthy and safe way.
A great way to help you lose weight is to try eating brown rice instead of white rice. White rice is high glycemic which means it's more likely to be stored as fat in your body. Brown rice however is low glycemic, which means it burns a lot longer and gives you energy.
Losing weight requires a healthy metabolism. You can easily raise your metabolism rate and burn more fat by lifting weights and doing strength training. One of the best things to do to raise your metabolic rate is to build muscles. Muscle will burn more calories while just sitting still than fat will.
Use less sauces and dressings in your foods. Sauces and dressings are often made with oil or contain lots of sugar. Drowning your green salad in dressing or smothering your baked potato in sour cream, adds a lot of fat and calories. You can try using substitutes, such as non-fat sour cream, but you should also experiment with more spices to flavor your food.
Go to the doctor to assess what you need to do in your weight loss journey. You should get a full physical exam to determine what your body can handle and the best diet and exercise routine for your physiology. It is always better to consult with a physician before starting any exercise routine.
You should remember your daily calorie limit for your weight. If you know this, you can plan the amount of calories you should eat for each meal. Daily caloric intake is different for all people, so you should make sure to look up how many calories you can eat each day.
It may sound strange, but cleaning your house thoroughly once a week can help you achieve your weight loss goals. When you deep-clean your kitchen or bathroom, you burn a lot more calories than you think. A half-hour scrub session can burn up to 120 calories, and cleaning your house will take much longer than that. Your elbow grease can go a long way!
A great weight loss tip is to drink skim milk for breakfast instead of juice or soda. Studies have shown that people who had skim milk for breakfast consumed fewer calories throughout the day as opposed to people who did not. In addition, you will be getting the protein and calcium your body needs.
Weight gain can be problematic, but with some work and some patience, you can lose weight safely. It just takes research and asking your doctor what to do so that you can eat right, exercise, and shed the excess pounds. Do yourself a favor and try using the above tips to help get rid of your extra weight.

Last weekend Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Ben + Angie in celebration of their engagement & upcoming wedding next year. We chose the beautiful Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL as our location. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots to shoot on the gulf given the variety of settings offered, including the beach, pier, fort, a 19th century battery, and surrounding land. Donny & I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this gorgeous sunset engagement session with such a lovely soon-to-be-married couple!
A couple of weeks ago, Donny & I had the pleasure of photographing Tom + Jamie in celebration of their engagement. These two were so much fun to work with! The best thing about engagement shoots is when midsession it starts to feel like you're just hanging out with some good friends. Engagement sessions are such a great way to bond with clients & get a feel for what they prefer; it's also a great time to practice posing before the big day! Tom + Jamie were so much fun to be around and were complete naturals. They made our jobs very easy. Sedona, their furry pup, also joined us for our Cleveland shoot, and she was so cute & spunky! (We always love when our clients bring their pets to celebrate with them!)
Following a major winter storm last week, Donny & I traveled to Olmsted Falls to capture the love between two individuals we had been eager to meet for months, Lauren + Drew. Lauren & I had been planning this session for a while around the weather, waiting for festive conditions & freshly fallen snow. We were in luck this week. NE Ohio received a thick blanket of snow, and we got even more than we needed—about 10 inches too much, probably! That being said, we couldn't pass up the chance to make the most out of this winter wonderland. Although it was a challenge to work in (and trudge through) at times, we enjoyed it—wet socks, frozen fingers, and all :)
Last week, Donny & I had the pleasure of capturing the love between Nick & Hannah, an awesome couple (and Browns fans, at that) tying the knot next December. They also brought their furry babies, Bell & Brady, to the shoot! These two were so sweet & excited to be apart of all the fun. We're always so happy when our clients bring their pups! (Donny & I are currently puppy deprived and we always appreciate the extra company!)
Happy 2019 everyone! :) It's crazy to think that an entire year has gone by since I last sat down to write a New Year's blog. I can vividly remember sipping coffee at a house I no longer live in and recapping my 2017 that was full of travel and excitement. Honestly, I would be lying if I said 2018 wasn't much different than that - because it was. It was full of a lot of major ups and downs, transitions, changes, and general busyness, but I'm grateful for every second of it. Not only did I photograph more weddings than I ever have, but I also got to have my own wedding and marry my best friend, Donny, on our 6th (dating) anniversary.
Colton and Jessica got married on what I'm convinced was one of the most beautiful fall days of the year. Their big day was held at Alford's Glen - a lovely, rustic barn venue with tons of surrounding woods. I knew it would be perfect for such an outdoorsy couple after getting to know them a little bit during their engagement session and throughout the wedding planning process. What more could you ask for than to roam through the sunlit forest after exchanging your vows with your best friends by your side? It was magical!

Love set me free,
Dont imprison me,
My freedom it must stay.
Love to give and to get,
However you find it,
In each and every day.
Love is refreshing,
And oh so rejuvenating,
As long as it has its own way.
Without limitation,
Or conditional expectation,
That is what love should convey.
And I hope to find,
At the end of my time,
Something special about love to say.
That all my loves,
Like hands in gloves,
Fitted together quite okay.

The Planet Money 'Toxie' character was adopted by NPR as a mascot for the mortgage crisis, and this educational video clip effectively describes how this snuggly fur figure contributed to the housing bust. The adorable creature has been used in jest to relieve the despondency of the mass misfortune of the demonic character of the economic downturn.
The cute and cuddly toxic asset known as the Planet Money 'Toxie' has been buried, as this video reveals. Knocked off by one of America's most detrimental housing breaks, the ailing cartoon character has been declining in recent months. Though some may miss her guileless gaze, I'm sure society will be better off without her.

Dr Dian Li, University of Leeds
Research on typography has been dominated by "Latin typography". Chinese, as a "Non-Latin" language, is the most widely spoken first language of humankind. However, the study of its typography has been neglected for a long time. Some Chinese graphic designers borrow ideas from Latin typography and apply these directly into their own design practice using Chinese types. More designers are using Chinese types intuitively with insufficient understanding. Dian is exploring the relationship between Chinese typography and emotional response in order to revitalise this important aspect of Chinese culture.

Testing this new iPhone app hope it works...
6 years ago
Wow, iPhones can make pizzas. Very impressive.
Or is it that you can actually use one to make phone calls and order a pizza?
Hadn't been able to post from my iPhone into I had found that app.
Ps the pizzas are home made. At least the toppings are.
How long you had the iPhone?ReplyDelete
What has our nephew been up to in the last couple of weeks?ReplyDelete
Have had the iPhone for just over a week now. Very cool. Like having a micro pc actually.
Alex has been getting used to sleeping more during the day. I will post a recent photo after this.

A friend recently pointed out an article about how to shave 100 calories from your day. Some suggestions were helpful, others not so much. Instead of focusing on calories, I recommend making healthier swaps in your food choices. Not only will you reduce calorie intake, but more importantly you will increase protein and nutrients while lowering sugar and saturated fat intake. Below are my top healthy swaps.
Switch to lean meats
Lean meats such as chicken, turkey and fish provide the SAME amount of protein as red meats, but are significantly lower in calories and saturated fat. Try chicken fajitas, turkey chili instead of regular, turkey or veggie burgers instead of beef, etc.
Use spices to flavor foods
Instead of using sugar try cinnamon, nutmeg and other sweet spices. Instead of using salt try pepper, chili powder or other flavorful combinations. This will provide extra flavor without added calories.
Choose low fat or non-fat dairy
Switching from regular to non-fat dairy items can save you in the long run. Non-fat greek yogurt provides 120 calories, and 0g fat per 6oz cup. On the flip side, the regular fat product provides 170 calories and 6g fat (4.5g saturated fat) while sugar and protein are the same amount. Having 2% or whole dairy products once in a while is fine, but try to incorporate low fat or non-fat as often as possible.
Use banana or other fruit to sweeten foods
Using banana in your dishes provides a perfect amount of sweet flavor without the added sugars! Try banana instead of jelly on PB&J, add frozen banana to smoothies, use it as an ingredient in baking or try my favorite: Oatmeal. This oatmeal is free of any added sugar but tastes just as good. Simple chop up banana in plain oats and THEN cook your oatmeal. Whether it's in the microwave or stove top, the banana adds enough sweetness that it doesn't require anything else. Mix in some raisins, cinnamon, flaxseed and a dallop of peanut butter for a balanced breakfast.
Make a Healthier Sandwich and Salad
Choose mustard or hummus over mayonnaise, choose whole grain bread and use bread instead wraps. Wraps provide similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates as bread, but since wraps are larger they hold more food, making it easy to go overboard with calories and fat. Instead of regular salad dressings, try vinegar and a small amount of olive oil. Or add hummus to a salad to make it creamier. For both salads and sandwiches use lean meats and go wild with the vegetables.
Drink Smart
Whether it's regular or alcoholic beverages, liquid calories can make a big difference in your health. If you aren't a water drinker, I suggest starting to become one NOW. All of those other beverages that claim to be life-changing really aren't. Water is all you need to be fully hydrated throughout the day. If you are an athlete, Gatorade might be needed during workouts, but for all of us normal people, water will do just fine. If you don't like water, try adding some fresh lemon or lime to your drink or try seltzer or sparkling water. When it comes to alcohol, try light beers and choose the drink that you will sip the slowest. 12oz of light beer, 5oz of wine and 1oz of liquor all have roughly 100 calories so choose what will work best for you.
It's All About the Portions
Even if you are eating healthy foods, if your portions are too large you will be taking in extra calories. If you usually have 3 drinks per night, switch to 1 or 2 and drink water in between. If you usually have 2 cookies, have 1. If you normally have 2 cups of pasta try having 1 cup and filling the rest of your plate with vegetables and protein. Making small reductions in meals can make a big difference in your health. Listen to your body and eat until you are comfortable, not stuffed. This is a good indicator of what size portions you really need.
Find alternate ways to relieve stress
In moments of emotional stress it can be easy to overeat, which can negate any healthy eating that you do. Try to focus on other ways to relieve stress such as walking or other exercise, talking to friends, reading… or playing with puppies!
Just sayin'…

CHICO — The various choirs of Children's Choir of Chico begin rehearsals for their 18th season next week, with registration continuing through Sept. 18.
Choir members learn to read and write music, sing in varied languages, and learn songs from different genres, including art music, Broadway, spirituals, traditional and folk.
Experienced singers in grades 8-12 are invited to audition for Bel Canto, the premier, classically trained, community-based choir for treble voices (female and unchanged male voices) in the greater Chico area.
This exclusive choir of 14-18 singers performs advanced choral repertoire including works in various languages, cultures and styles.
Auditions with conductor Susan Tevis will take place Aug. 14 and 15 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Regular rehearsals begin Monday, Aug. 20, from 4:30-6 p.m.
Women in high school and above are invited to attend a rehearsal with Bella Voce, the women's choir of CCOC. Under the direction of Tevis, singers develop their vocal skills while rehearsing and performing music in many styles and languages.
The first rehearsal for Bella Voce will take place Tuesday, Aug. 21 from 6-7:45 p.m. Childcare will be provided.
Both Bel Canto and Bella Voce will perform in two CCOC concerts and as guest choirs for various local organizations and events, including the Downtown Chico Business Association's Christmas Tree Lighting in City Plaza, Christmas opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" by American composer GIan Carlo Menotti, and Chico State University's Glorious Sounds of the Season.
In July 2019, Bel Canto will collaborate with members of Bella Voce and local community choirs to undertake a concert tour in Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. Both choirs share a common passion for singing and performing a variety of music with a high level of artistry.
The Training Division of CCOC includes beginning music education and choir experiences for children in kindergarten through third grade. A more formal choir experience is offered through the Performance Division for singers in fourth grade through high school and adult women in college through retirement. Regular rehearsals begin Monday, Aug. 20, from 4:30-6 p.m.
Auditions for all choirs will be at 2500 Floral Ave., Suite 20. They may be scheduled by contacting Children's Choir of Chico at 342-2775 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Children's Choir of Chico was formed in 2001 to unite the purity of children's voices with excellence of choral music education and artistic performance. The original choir has expanded over the years to five choirs, including music experiences for early childhood and adult women.

Stieber completes Hamburg move
Hamburg - Hungarian winger Zoltan Stieber has joined Hamburger SV after signing a three-year deal with the Bundesliga's only ever-present club.
'An Incredible opportunity'
The 25-year-old recently faced off against the Dinos as part of the Greuther Fürth side that lost on away goals in the two-legged relegation play-off, but took time out of a trip with his national team to complete the formalities on Monday.
"HSV are a huge club and Hamburg's a big city. For me, this is an incredible opportunity to be able to come and play here. I can't wait until the start of next season in the Bundesliga," said Stieber, who admitted it was a "strange feeling" leaving Fürth behind following two seasons at the Trolli Arena.
However, he is now looking forward to adding to the 23 top-tier appearances he has made in his career at one of Germany's most tradition-laden clubs. "The atmosphere in the Imtech Arena in the first leg of the play-off was absolutely breathtaking," said the former 1. FSV Mainz 05 winger.
Having seen Stieber impress in both games against the Red Shorts, setting up Fürth's first goal in the second leg with a sublime piece of skill, Hamburg are convinced they have recruited a player who is ready to finally make his mark on the top flight. "We're delighted Zoltan chose to join HSV," said sporting director Oliver Kreuzer. "He's incredibly versatile across the frontline, is agile, tricky and fast. We want to inject more pace into our attacking approach and Zoltan fits our requirements perfectly."

Have you decided that you would like to start a new career as an ultrasound technician in Barre VT? If so, you're going to embark on one of the most fascinating occupations in the health-care field. However, you're going to need to have the proper training and there are actually a number of good ultrasound technician schools near Barre VT. This education and training will undoubtedly be the foundation to your ability to succeed as a diagnostic medical sonographer.You can find many different schools and training programs out there for ultrasound technicians. But how do you know which one is going to be the best for you? Just like any other profession, you will find a number of really important things you must take a look at prior to entering into any school and sonography training is not any different.
Recommended Ultrasound Technician Schools Near Barre VT
- Ultimate Medical Academy is a nonprofit healthcare career school—and students are at the heart of everything we do.
- That's why we offer exclusive student services through your career training and beyond, beginning from the time you enroll online or at our campus in Clearwater, FL.
- We'll also guide you toward the right program for your goals, and help you understand the affordability of your career training.
- So let us know you're interested, and we'll discuss how UMA can help you succeed.
- A.S. - Healthcare Technology and Systems
Take a look at these five details you might need to think about prior to selecting any ultrasound technician program.
The primary factor you must consider is the institution's accreditation. This is important as you need to make sure that you are receiving the very best training . Every single sonography technician training program really should be accredited by the CAAHEP or a similar accrediting organization in your area.
The next item you should consider in relation to your ultrasound technician training program is the focus. A number of schools place greater focus on how to be employed in a clinical environment, while others focus more on understanding the actual technologies of sonography.
Clinical Training
Another very important item you will have to consider is your practical training experience. This is your hands-on training , and this is where you are going to actually be taught how to use current ultrasound devices. Some colleges allocate a bit more time on your actual clinical experience than others. If it turns out your school is not spending a considerable amount of time with clinical instruction, you really should inquire exactly why. In most States it is necessary to obtain a minimum number of clinical hours recorded until you are eligible for licensing.
Class Size
Something else you should think about is your class size. The enrollment in your training will vary from school to school . Be certain to find out how large the classes are at the campus you will end up going to as this should provide you with a better idea of how much one-on-one training you should expect.
Graduation Rate
The final matter you will need to have a look at before deciding on an ultrasound technician program is the success rate of the school you're thinking about. Be sure to find out how many people graduate from the training program, what their comments were, and the number of them have gone on to become ultrasound techs.
Ready to Make a Decision ?
Looking at these important steps before choosing any ultrasound technician school is going to make your final decision much easier and make it easier to become the highest quality sonographer you can be. Once your choice is made its time for you to get ready for the adventure that lies ahead, what exactly should you expect to accomplish during your sonography training?
Ultrasound Technician Training Expectations
Ultrasound technician training consists of teaching future sonographers how to examine and understand an array of health conditions through sound wave technology to capture images of internal organs and human tissue. There are numerous accredited schools which offer this kind of training programs, which consists of clinical, laboratory and class-room instruction.
Technicians allocate the majority of their time in training working on the techniques needed to operate and maintain ultrasound machines . Making it possible for them to create medical images by making use of ultrasound techniques. Usually, medical facilities would like techs to have gotten training from accredited training programs in addition to having taken and passed the assessment set by the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers).
Those employed in this career need to be knowledgeable in human anatomy, medical terminology and also patient assessment. Excellent communication skills are generally required in order to alleviate any fears or apprehension a patient may have as they go through technical procedures. An eye for good quality images as well as competence in picking and evaluating images will also be usually necessary.
Formal Education
Formal instruction is generally obtained by signing up for a program offered by diagnostic sonography programs, universities and colleges. The majority of future ultrasound technicians opt to register for 2-year associate's degree programs, however bachelor programs are also available. Candidates have to possess a high school diploma with coursework having been completed in mathematics, common sciences and health.
Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology
An Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology training program concentrates on instructing students in the use of medical imaging equipment, so that they can recognize a variety of medical conditions as well as treatment methods which should be used . This type of diagnostic medical sonography training degree involves many hours spent in community healthcare facilities, hands-on training in practice labs and in-class lectures . Generally speaking , the subject areas of patient treatment procedures, medical ethics, anatomy, common physics and acoustic physics, are taught. Additional courses in abdominal scanning, vascular technology and obstetrics , can also be offered.
Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Normally, this program requires four years to complete, and provides an in depth study of a variety of ultrasound specialties that are required for graduates to work as researchers, administrators or shift supervisors. Training in gynecological, obstetrics and abdominal ultrasound procedures is attained through clinical internships and classroom instruction. With a B.S. degree you will be in the upper half of all sonographers in terms of education and according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers is over $65,000.
Job Experience
Although the completion of an ultrasound technician training program is sufficient to obtain entry-level opportunities in the field, 5 years of ultrasound practical experience is needed for higher paying opportunities that come with further responsibility, for instance administration and management positions.
Certification & Licensing
Technicians are not required be licensed ; of course, the majority of companies prefer to hire technicians that possess credentials from a certifying body, like the ARMDS. The reason is that certification provides confirmation that an individual has the competencies and knowledge necessary to work effectively and efficiently.
Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
Students seeking to obtain a RDMS degree are required to pass the certifying examination set by the ARDMS . When the exam is successfully completed, a certain number of units in continuing education must be completed, to be able to maintain your certification. This form of ultrasound technician training will include various specialties, such as abdominal, nervous system or breast imaging.

Elizabeth Dee is pleased to present the second exhibition of this season, Every Future Has a Price: 30 Years After Infotainment, which will open on Saturday, October 29th with a public opening from 4-8PM.
The original exhibition, Infotainment, was organized by Anne Livet, in close collaboration with artists and co-founders of the gallery Nature Morte, Peter Nagy and Alan Belcher, and was a legendary intellectual appraisal of an interrelated East Village gallery scene in the 1980s. Infotainment argued for a generation of artists who adhered to neither Neo-expressionist painting nor the direct repurposing of images by the Pictures Generation, but instead imbued their content with social and philosophical resonance. Inheritors of 1960s Conceptualism, these artists worked with increased stylization, transference of images, appropriation and subversion of authorship in favor of that which relates to media, television and advertising, thus furthering the dialogue of the Pictures Generation artists through strategies arguably more relevant to the social and political time of the 1980s.

Guar gum is a white to creamy coloured, free flowing powder and free from extraneous matter. Its ability to suspend solids, bind water by hydrogen bonding, control the viscosity of aqueous solutions and form strong tough films, have accounted for its rapid growth and use in various industries. Industrial grade Guar Gum is used in Paper, Textile Processing, Explosives, Detergents, Drilling Fluids, Ceramics, Paints and many other industries. The purified grade is used in the Pharmaceuticals, Dialectic, Cosmetic and Food Industries. Guar gum is a natural product, and because it has the ability to swell by hydrolyzing with water, it can be used in a variety of water systems for food and industrial applications. Guar gum can viscosify, stabilize, and emulsify water systems as well as bind moisture to itself.
Applications of Guar Gum
Guar Gum for Food, Pharmaceutical & Dialectic Industries:
Guar Gum Powder for Food, Pharmaceutical, Dialectic Industries
Guar Gum in pure form when used in the ice creams acts as a superior stabiliser and gives the right texture by preventing the formation of coarse ice crystals. Guar gum is used as a thickener and stabiliser in food and pharmaceuticals. The present trend is to use agro-based Guar Gum only for Ice cream, without any Additives or Preservatives, in place of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), which is a chemical derivative of cellulose and therefore objectionable, in Europe , Japan and America for Food Products.
In squashes, sauces and sherbets, it functions as a suspending agent and as a stabiliser. It has got a low calorific food value, and it is an excellent bulk laxative. It is used as a suspending agent for Calamine and Barium Sulphate. It increases the mechanical strength of tablets during pressing. It readily disperses in water. It is used in jellies and ointments as a thickener. It imparts good viscosity and gives better foam stability in shampoos. It is compatible with glycerol and is used in tooth-pastes.
Guar Gum for Bakery Industry:
It is used in the Bakery Industry, in Bread, Pastry, Cakes and Cookies. On dry mixing prior to dough making in Bread, it helps to retain moisture and hence the weight of Bread. It keeps the Bread smooth, pliable and fresh for longer time and imparts milky white bleached appearance to Bread.

Guar Gum for Grass Growing / Erosion Control :
Guar Gum Powder for Grass Growing, Erosion Control Industry
Guar gum has a major application in the grass growing and erosion control industry where it is used as a water binder to retain moisture on the soil surface, particularly on slopes where the addition of guar gum to the water systems will help to anchor the hydro seeding mixture to the slopes and seal in the moisture. It is used in systems that protect against hydraulic lift and shear forces created by high-volume discharges, so whether grass is grown on slopes, channels, or straight-aways, from roadside to residential lawns, golf urses to athletic fields to parks, using guar gum prevents soil erosion and enhances grass growing.
Guar Gum for Cosmetics:
Guar Gum is soluble in cold and hot water and this solution is not attacked by Bacteria. Guar Gum Protective colloid forming capacity results in emulsion stabilisation. It is also a good thickener and suspending agent in Cosmetics.

This is a very attractive segment, gave me a lot of help, thank you for sharing, hope you can update more and better stories.One of my conclusions after having worked for over a decade translating research into practice is that the system of having academic researchers in one silo and learning professionals in another silo simply isn't working.ReplyDelete

Redemption City Church Weekly
Dear Redemption City Family,
Last week we looked at 1 Timothy 4. We talked about cultivating character and increasing our love for God. I asked the question, what kind of people have we become? Are we helping people move towards or away from faith in Jesus? Do our lives reflect love for God or love for self?
Tomorrow, we'll look at 1 Timothy 5 and see how Paul shifts the attention from loving God to loving others, especially as it relates to issues of mercy and justice. I'll explain how we, the Church, can live out our calling to be agents of mercy and justice to people here in Boston and throughout the world—meeting the needs of hurting people, acting as a family for those who have no family, and ultimately reflecting the love of Jesus.
Join us tomorrow as we study I Timothy 5:1-16 and learn about how God calls us to love, even when it's to our disadvantage.
Praying for you,
Pastor Juan
Men's Breakfast
Men: Join us for our next Men's Breakfast happening next Saturday, June 27th at Pavement Coffeehouse on Gainsborough from 9-10AM. More details and future dates can be found on our website.
Dinner Parties
Join us for "Dinner Parties" happening all around the city on July 3rd! Gather around the dinner table, share a good meal and enjoy an evening with community. Sign up for a host home on our website no later than June 26th.
Pre-service Prayer
Every Sunday morning, Redemption City Church holds pre-service prayer meetings at 9:45am. Please join us in the hallway next to the auditorium to pray for our church, our city, and our world.
Help Wanted
We're a growing church and are always in need of some helping hands with our Sunday Gathering. Please stop by our "Resource Table" on Sundays or check out our website to find out how you can get involved.
Love Redemption City Church?
Let people know! We would love it if you could take a minute to like/rate us on some social media sites, which makes it easier for others to find us when they are searching for a church in Boston.
Have any questions? Email us.

Bouncy Bands for Chairs (Help Students Focus and Learn)
Wiggle While You Work!
I may have written about this embarrassing video of me when I was a child, so excuse me if I happen to repeat myself after five years of blogging since it ties quite nicely into this product review. In the mid-80's, it seemed that EVERYONE was buying video recorders because for the first time they were cheap, mass-produced, and as we now know today, people LOVE making videos of themselves. My parents were too cheap (or just didn't have the money) to buy one, but my grandfather did. AND HE RECORDED EVERY OCCASION when we got together…which was mostly holidays. He's put his video recorder on a tripod and hit record for HOURS and it probably started from the time I was six or seven. A few years ago, my brother ended up taking some of his VHS tapes and converting them to DVDs and sent me a copy of some of these massively long videos. I couldn't sit and watch each painfully long videos from start to finish so I started fast forwarding most of the videos – and WOW – I couldn't help but notice that I was like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. I was constantly in motion, bouncing up and down and rocking back and forth as if I was in my own little heavy metal rock band sans the music. At first I was embarrassed, and then I became thoughtful. I couldn't help but think that if some therapist had saw those tapes, I'd instantly be put on medication for ADHD. It was eye opening.
Now that I have a soon-to-be first grader, I realize the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. While Brooke gets her work done, is smart as a whip, and quite a normal bouncy girl, she is very fidgety. My thoughts of kids having high energy changed when I saw myself on tape; kids have loads of energy and we expect little ones to sit quietly and work throughout each school day as their recess time keeps getting cut down in public schools. It's no wonder teachers can find their children bouncing off the walls and somehow we have become a nation that is quick to medicate children. Thankfully, in Brooke's school, her kindergarten teacher had some other ideas on how to help her students focus and learn by soothing their hyperactivity through something called chair bands. Since school budgets, especially Brooke's school which is a Charter, is not designed to pay for such resources within their budget, so her teacher suggested these chair bands as a 'wish list' item for her students. I immediately started to research and learn more about them because I wanted to help Brooke and her classmates learn how they can fidget without distracting others. Bouncing Bands have opened my eyes to the possibilities and resources that are out there for students AND adults to use so they can 'wiggle while they work' and focus more on learning than on bouncing. Awesome!
Quick Rundown on Bouncing Bands:
- Move while you work quietly. Makes learning and working fun!
- Increases time on task.
- Helps high energy workers fidget without distracting others.
- Safe. 100% latex free.
- Discreetly soothes student anxiety, frustration, and hyperactivity.
Bouncy Bands for Chairs are made with heavy-duty rubber.
- Loops are molded on both ends of the Bouncy Band. They install to the chair in seconds!
- Chairs can be lifted, moved and stacked, while the support pipes and bands stay secured.
- Note: The heavy-duty band and support pipes are free of latex and pthalates.
The Bouncy Bands for Chairs can be used with the small Kindergarten chairs and they also stretch to fit adult chairs. They can stretch to fit chairs that have a distance from 13-18″ between the chair legs.
Check it out! Watch this video on how to install Bouncy Bands for Chairs.
- Students love being able to wiggle while they work!
- Active students are more productive and spend more time on task when they can move.
- Students with short legs enjoy being able to rest their feet on the Bouncy Band instead of having them dangle all day.
- In addition, students who feel anxious when working enjoy being able to stretch their legs to release their anxiety while they work.
- Many adults with Restless Leg Syndrome, Deep Vein Thrombosis and diabetes rave about how the Bouncy Bands help them increase their blood circulation and even burn calories during they day while they work.
I'm happy to report that Brooke loves her Bouncy Band. Not only that, we also learned that you can get Bouncy Bands for Desks, too. Bouncy Bands are made in the USA and supported by Able Play, Mind Spring, and Creative Child. This isn't just a product for students with ADHD (which, I will add, Brooke DOES NOT HAVE), I learned many young students need a product like this because they are just high energy at that age. With limited outdoor recess and gym class in public schools, students are often misdiagnosed with hyperactivity when they are just being their bouncy kid-selves. Also, the need for Bouncy Bands doesn't just stop at childhood, many adults suffer from restless leg syndrome, or need to move their legs while sitting in cubicles due to deep vein thrombosis or have diabetes and need to increase their blood circulation in their legs. I'm also thinking of getting one for myself because I do have anxiety issues where I bounce my legs up and down most of the time when I am sitting. If this product helps students have better concentration, relieve anxiety, and lead to better learning and test scores, I'm all for making Bouncy Bands a mandatory line item in our school's budgets, but for now, our teachers asking parents to help their students with their own 'wish list' items like Bouncy Bands is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling in educating our students who don't have as much play or down time as we did as kids. And that – my friends – is a much better solution than looking towards Big Pharma. Just my two cents!

A special note of thanks for delivering an inspirational keynote speech at Dell's recent leadership development convention-in Bengaluru. You key note was one of the most compelling I've experienced, and I've had the good fortune of attending many in my career.
You passionate delivery and relevant speaking points connected with every leader in the room, both old and new. Teaching and motivating leaders and team members to manage through change is one of the biggest challenges facing enterprises today. Your proactive challenge to embrace change, as well as its associated unknowns, was perfectly on point. I even leveraged some of your speaking points about each and everyone of us intentionally disrupting ourselves to continue to evolve and remain competitive, both personally and professionally.
Thanks again for joining us and kicking off this critical leadership event for us. I couldn't have imagined a more inspirational kick-off. Your message resonated with our leadership team and was referenced repeatedly during the remainder of this multi-day event. Thank You
- Senior Vice President - Dell Commerce Services
Ashish Ji was invited to address Hindustan Zinc employees as part of 1st lecture on our initiative "An Insight" that we had initiated. It is very difficult to describe his thoughts, momentum, energy and understanding of needs of an organization. At any point he is thinking ahead of what we are thinking. That made the difference when he came out with ZINDA HOON MAI concept. More than 300 young employees and senior management in the auditorium and over 2000 on tele-presence and thousands on the Facebook Live was amazing experience.
His connecting style with the audience is unique. His interaction with audience is dynamic and the message that he wants to give goes direct in the minds. Its been quite few months when we had his lecture, but the memories are as fresh as of yesterday. About his personality, he is extremely down to earth and approachable. If you are looking for someone who can leave long-lasting impression towards motivating and putting energy in your employees or college students, trust me, he is the man.. Wishing him great success in all his ventures.. will always remain with you Ashish Ji…

I am writing this post to thank you at a short notice and come share with the leadership team of our farm business in May 2018 on how the coaching competencies are applied by actors in their facets of work. The way you dealt with the subject and created an instantaneous connect was amazing. What I liked best was the way you assimilated the coaching competencies of Ethical guidelines, creating an agreement, creating trust and intimacy, creating presence, active listening, asking powerful questions and direct communications and related it back to the participants in a simple and lucid manner.
Rajesh Jejurikar the President and CEO of our Farm Business was very appreciative of your powerful communication skills and the way you related concepts and practices in a simple and lucid manner. I am sure actors like you with high empathy, sensitivity, and powerful communication coupled with strong rapport building capabilities are a big asset to leadership development initiatives in the corporate world. All the best and congratulations for a half day program well delivered. I would give you a 5/5 for this program. I am really thrilled with the choice I made. All the best and keep in touch.
- EVP - Group Human Capital and Leadership Development - Mahindra and Mahindra
I have had the privilege of attending talks and conversations of Ashish, who in my opinion would mesmerise you with his energy, powerful communication and most important putting complex things accross with great simplicity. He understands the need of the audience very well, work very well to curate the conversations and then engage it in a very effective and enjoyable way.
The actor in him backed with his theatre back ground helps him connect very well both in speech and powerful presence. As a person, he is very down to earth, simple and approachable. He is humble and keeps learning too and rightly quote himself to be the eternal Vidyarthi ( the student) for life.
I strongly recommend his talk for reenergising and reflecting for that small change that one wants to bring and that small change has the power to move mountain.
- General Manager (Branding), Indian Oil
I have had the privilege of being an awed spectator at two of Ashish's "Conversations". Yes, he speaks with passion, yes, he mesmerises you with his magnetism. But… most importantly, he makes you pause and think. He brings genuine insight into the room. Often uncomfortable insight. And forces you, gently, to confront yourself with it.
An Ashish Vidyarthi Conversation always transforms.
A moment of value.
Time well spent.
Thank you and God bless.
- Owner, Squirkle Productions Pvt Ltd
This year-old post of an engagement with TMTC popped up today…Reminded me of a mid air meeting. …
As one began one's journey as an actor away from the security, love and caring of home.. The working world introduced the concept of status. …
Even as you read the post, you may also listen to this as a pod cast on…

We let ourselves sleep a bit more to revive our bodies. A healthy body holds a healthy soul, thus, we decided it's really necessary to exercise in the mornings. We packed out bags and set off to the last meetings in Poland. As luck would have it, we tripled our initial goal to sell our goods in one store!
So, we've planted our flag in Warsaw!!! To try and be even more successful, we took a chance and went to one of the most popular men's magazines in Poland "MALEMEN". Our project blew the chief editor away, therefore, our smiles should appear in the next month's issue. I didn't expect that much from our neighbours – it's amazing! We said bye to Agata and continued our trip to Germany.
Going 600 kilometers by paid roads was a real pleasure as the stops were very comfortable and literally made us smile. We had a serious meal halfway this long distance as it wasn't clear when we would get another chance to get some food.
I guess Polish policemen love our car… As we were crossing Poland - Germany border they overtook us with all the flashing lights. After an easy rummage they let us leave their country. They were overwhelmed by how well a true Lithuanian -Tomas Kulita - chattered in Polish. "We are like brothers, – Tomas said – and brothers should understand each other." Our eyelids were getting heavy, but I remembered Aiste Lasyte had given me "Be jokių E" CD by Liūdni Slibinai (Thank You!). We sang along throughout our journey till we reached Berlin at 3am. Though it was late, we were greeted by Julija and her friend Michael. They have such a lovely cozy place, that we fell asleep straight after dropping down our bags. Tomorrow there are new people, new stores, new "conquering strategies" waiting for us.
Tomas: "Do something good today, so that after 10 years you won't have to say you could have done better".
Simonas: "Positivity is infectious".
Dmitrij: "Let's raise the sails, wind will appear on it's own".
Yours faithfully, Simonas [Saimis]
