Book Club: Habibi
Quick Update:
I wonder if you even remember what my voice sounds like. My… typing voice. I'd like to think it's like a sexy Eliza Dushku raspiness, but I feel like it's more realistically a Kathleen Turner kind of raspiness which, honestly, I'm really into.
Anyway, do with my typing voice as you will while I get into this long-overdue book review.
Our Review - No Spoilers:
Habibi by Craig Thompson
Not our first venture into the world of Craig Thompson, but definitely a huge step outside of an autobiographical piece. It's a massive 672-page graphic novel set in a historical fictional Islamic… land? In short, it revolves around the relationship of two protagonists as they develop and transform both individually and as a unit. The tale is one of fantasy, drama, and romance - with a whole lot of religious lore sprinkled all over.
That was my little spoiler-free summary, so now let's get right into the good, the meh, and the bad of Habibi before the final reviews and a quick logistical summary. That's right, logistical summary.
Firstly, the undisputed and unanimously agreed-upon fact about Habibi and Craig Thompson in general: that art is out of this world. The artistic expression in Thompson's work is impeccable and has become such an accepted fact, that I don't think we even got into it very much at the book review. If you're a connoisseur of comic book art, then the decision to read Thompson's work is a no-brainer.
The plot is complex and goes through a lot of very distinctive stages throughout the book. Still, the content is heavy but the graphic novel is a seamless read, so don't let its size deter you. There are a lot of themes explored as the plot develops, including racism and slavery, sexual violence and sexism, and even environmentalism and pollution.
The style accurately depicts ancient Arabian story-telling and humor, and there are small side stories planted throughout the book that are both beautiful and engaging.
Now, to the other aspect of our review. The development of the two protagonists' relationship can sometimes feel very uncomfortable. The sexual violence depicted throughout can be uncomfortable. And Habibi didn't feel as personal to us as Blankets did. We didn't connect with the characters the way we connected to many of the characters in his autobiographical novel. That being said, I've had people tell me the opposite and that they connected more with Habibi than Blankets - so that's a completely personal judgement. Then again, all of this is a completely personal judgement. So.
But the ultimate discomfort, which I have to be fair - only 2/4 of us felt - is the inherent annoyance in having a white male tell us an elaborate story about a female who lives in an Islamic world. Thompson spent years researching the culture and the religion in order to write Habibi, including taking in the help of many consultants who are experts in the culture. A quick Google search of book reviews shows you how polarizing this book is; you get critics calling Habibi a masterpiece, and others who call the book a mess of Orientalism because slaves were depicted as caricatures, Arab men like savages, and women as sexual objects. I'm going to include a couple of critic quotes that I think put this point into words perfectly:
I don't know. You tell me.

Renovation Mistakes
When it comes to construction work, many tradespeople talk in cost per square foot terms. A mortgage of £95,300 payable over 25 years on our Standard Variable Rate, currently 4.65{8cff66e03fefcf64bd6092cf341640f4e6c07f325093f5e26fe55411f8ed2503}, would require 300 monthly payments of £537.85. That is one of the home renovation tips that give a systematic way of entering the house. Popular television home renovation programs may make it look easy, but lifecycle outcomes from these renovations are often poor.
Some basement and first floor common spaces and office will be closed once the renovation begins. Renovations are an ideal opportunity to review your home loan and see if it still suits your needs. When computing costs, always round up and add at least 25 percent to home renovation cost estimates and 30 percent to the timeline.
Banks or independent appraisers, need only be given the renovation plans and shown that the owner is financially capable to undertake such plans then they provide a ball park appraised value. Whatever your reason you should ensure that your renovation work is carried out in a safe manner.
You've probably heard the renovation horror stories…when the costs spiral out of control, the money runs out, and the project is left half-finished. All lighting within the Renwick has been converted to LED technology, a major goal of the renovation. Such a renovation of damaged goods had never before been seen on Spangler's premises.
Be sure, however, to use a hands on approach to renovation if you're doing it yourself even if you're contracting out some of the work like wiring. Since the kitchen is the most frequented area in any home with most of the waking hours of every family member spent here, kitchen renovation would surely create a great impact and difference.

A sand bank is emerging at low tide, with breathtaking wild and pristine beaches… Do not look any further; you are in Diep son Island Vietnam. Diep Son island is a paradise in Vietnam located in Van Phong Bay (60 km from Nha Trang) consisting of 3 small islets in the calm and warm waters of the bay of Van Phong, populated by fishermen and their families. At low tide, a pond of sand emerges linking the three islets: Diep Son Island and O Island, 800 meters long and the other being O Island and Qua Island 500 meters length. Diep Son is 250 meters long and 50 meters wide. In the center of the island a mountain 130 meters high above sea level and a coast offering shallow beaches of white sand and emerald water full of shells and small fish. The interior of the islands is green, but also rocky and arid. Near the coast, mango trees and grasses, but inland, cacti and eucalyptus take place in the middle of volcanic rocks offering an intriguing landscape. There are also many hidden coves and caves hide on the island, perfect for curious and determined visitors. The best time to visit the island is from December to June during the dry season.
DIEP SON ISLANDS IN VIET NAM – A film by Charly Studio
If you fancy experiencing Diep Son without hoards of selfies, consider staying overnight on the island and visit the site independently. Small accommodations and restaurants offer very reasonable rates. If you fancy sleeping as Rubinson Crusoe, in a tent on the beach, it will cost you around 200,000 for two people ($ 8) and a mattress under a mosquito net in a bamboo hut on stilts on the water around 400,000 for two people ( $16). You can also bring your own tent and stay on the beach or rest in a cottage home on the mountainside. Every day, electricity is only available from 18:00 to 21:00 pm. This island had never attracted much the tourist attention until relatively recently, but it looks like unfortunately, Estate developments have to be feared in a very near future. So it is crucial to visit it now even if touristic group become more and more present. The only way to get there is by a Can Gian Wharf boat located in the town of Van Gia about 70 km from Nha Trang or from Nha Trang Bay to Van Gian by boat and take a speed boat to Diep son island. The journey from Van Gia to Diep Son takes about 20 minutes, and there are many departures during the dry season.

Sean (Birthday boy) didn't make it on the drive down. He crashed out by 9:30 which left me awake alone since Cory had already fallen asleep much earlier...I was thankful to decent radio/cds/mp3s at this point.
The obligatory "blowing the candles out" photos.
Alisha and Cory decided to get on stage and sing along with Chuck E. Cheese. Hilarity ensued!
Cory hamming it up with the giant robotic mouse!
So after the children were all tucked in bed. Amanda and I broke out the Faderade and SoCo/lime. This didn't last too long as neither of us really felt like drinking but there was a photo of us taking a shot together which has never been captured on film before.
Alisha and David
Then Alisha janked my phone and took pics of everyone (unfortunately that included me)
My nephew, Jaydon. I'm gonna miss his giggles when they go back to Kansas. I had a blast playing with that kid!
The Batman I got for "the boys" that will go on Mommy's Batman shelves.
All in all, this weekend was great. I got no sleep, but had an amazing time with my family. I'm glad I could take the time to go and see them all. I can't wait until it warms up a bit and I can go back and hit the beach.

Respiratory Devices Market – Breathing Life into Critically ill Patients
Respiratory devices help to remove mucus from the airways and improve pulmonary function. These devices increase compliance of patients suffering from respiratory diseases to daily treatment. Some of the these devices include, positive expiratory pressure, the high frequency chest wall oscillation, the oral high frequency oscillation, the intrapulmonary percussive ventilation, the incentive spirometry the flutter and the acapella and the cornet. These devices automatically adjust inhalations and exhalations according to the patient's requirement. The devices are also available in various versions such as emergency respiratory devices for rescue application, long-term respiratory devices for intensive care, and mobile home respiratory devices.
The global respiratory devices market was valued at US$ 15,143.2 million in 2016 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period (2017 - 2025).
Figure 1. Global Respiratory Devices Market (US$ Mn), by Region, 2016
Increasing admissions of critical care patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU) is expected to fuel the market growth
Increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic pulmonary lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and occupational lung disease are the major factors augmenting growth of the respiratory devices market, owing to the pronounced need of therapeutic respiratory devices in the medical as well as in the homecare settings. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017, asthma is a major non communicable disease with an estimated 235 million people suffering from the condition. According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, 2015, an estimated number of people suffering from asthma is expected to increase by more than 100 million by 2025. North America is expected to dominate the respiratory devices market, owing to increasing number of hospitalizations and emergency visits associated with acute or life threatening medical problems. According to the study by Society of Critical Care Medicine 2016, more than 5.7 million patients are admitted annually to intensive care units (ICUs) in the U.S. for support of airway, breathing or circulation, and comprehensive management of injury. Also, According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2017, around 1.7 million emergency department visits with chronic and unspecified bronchitis were registered in the U.S. hospital facilities. However, stringent FDA approvals, lack of awareness about innovative devices and unaffordable or high cost of respiratory devices are the factors restraining growth of the respiratory devices market.
Increasing support from international organizations for prevention of chronic respiratory diseases is expected to accelerate the market growth
Various organizations, institutions, and agencies are working towards improving the diagnosis and the medical care needed to reduce the global burden of respiratory diseases. For instance, the Global Alliance against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD) was formed with the support from the World Health Organization (WHO) to control chronic respiratory diseases. GARD is a voluntary alliance of national, international organizations, and agencies from many economies. The main objective of GARD is to develop simple and affordable strategies for chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) and to encourage economies to implement health promotion and CRD prevention policies. Also, increasing birth defects such as newborn respiratory distress syndrome, cyanosis, and Broncho-pulmonary dysplasia requires the need for neonate/pediatric respiratory devices to increase the survival chances of infants. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimate of 1.5 million babies were born with birth defects with about one quarter primary consultations related to respiratory complaints.
The major players operating the global respiratory devices market include Koninklijke Philips N.V., 3M, AstraZeneca Plc., GE Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline Plc., Medtronic plc, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Invacare Corporation, ResMed, Inc., and CareFusion Corporation.
Respiratory devices or equipment are commonly used in the medical settings as per the medical condition. Ventilators are the most common tools, which are commonly used in emergency medicine and long-term critical care. In addition to the therapeutic respiratory devices, the diagnostic and monitoring devices minimize hospitalizations, thereby lowering the cost associated with medical settings.
Market Dynamics
The major factor driving growth of the respiratory devices market include INCREASING prevalence of respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma, increasing respiratory disease with rise in pollution level and rising geriatric population. According to the study by Global Burden of Disease, 2016, an estimated around 251 million cases of COPD were reported worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2015, an estimated 3.17 million deaths were caused by the disease accounting for 5% of all deaths. However, lack of awareness regarding the diseases harmful effects of certain respiratory care devices on neonates are the factors restraining respiratory devices market growth.

McKeesport offense to again test Plum 'D'
When the WPIAL Class AAAA playoff pairings were announced Oct. 27 and McKeesport coach George Smith saw his Tigers and Plum were slotted in the bracket, he said he gave a quick thought to a potential quarterfinal matchup between the teams and a rematch of a rugged Quad East clash from Oct. 10.
Late Friday evening, after No. 5 McKeesport took care of business against No. 12 Mt. Lebanon, 35-10, and No. 13 Plum took out No. 4 Penn Hills, 17-6, the potential rematch became a reality. Friday's quarterfinal game is set for 7:30 p.m. at Norwin.
McKeesport is hoping for a repeat of a 20-3 victory in last month's conference battle, and Plum wants to punch its ticket to the WPIAL semifinals for the first time since 1996.
"We knew that (Plum) could beat Penn Hills," Smith said. "You can't underestimate them. They can beat anybody. This is a new Plum team that gets after it and plays hard-nosed football. We saw that in the first game."
McKeesport (9-1) has won seven games in a row since a 28-0 loss to Penn-Trafford in Week 3.
Plum is gunning for its third straight victory after back-to-back losses to the Tigers and No. 2 seed Penn-Trafford.
McKeesport holds a 17-4 all-time advantage in the series, and including October's win, it has captured the past seven meetings.
The Mustangs' win last Friday snapped a nine-game playoff losing streak.
"We had been competitive against the best teams on our schedule, and against Penn Hills, it was time to take the next step. They did that," Plum coach Matt Morgan said. "We have to be ready again this week. McKeesport has a good, fast defense that can hit you. We've been working on being an assignment-sound defense, and we did that well against Penn Hills that throws a lot at you (in the running game). We have to do even better this week because McKeesport is even better at doing those things like the options and quick runs to the outside (in the flexbone)."
In the first game, Plum held a 3-0 lead at halftime, but a Mustangs' fumble on the second play of the second half — created by junior linebacker Tymar Sutton's crushing hit on Mustangs running back Kevin Brown — set up the McKeesport offense with a short field.
On the next play, senior quarterback TyWann Smith connected with junior Khaleke Hudson for a 24-yard score and a 7-3 lead.
It turned out to be enough for the Tigers' defense which held Plum to 11 total yards and three first downs, including minus-9 yards and one first down in the second half.
"Plum had other opportunities to score in the first half, but our defense held strong," Coach Smith said. "Our defense played really well in that game."
Hudson did a little bit of everything against Plum in the first meeting. He rushed for 115 yards, caught two touchdown passes and threw a 40-yard completion on a halfback pass.
Plum seniors Zach Martin and Andrew Soxman combined for 133 of the team's 156 rushing yards Friday against Penn Hills.
"We're very close," Coach Smith said. "If the breaks go their way with the talent they have, they can win. If we stay on task with what we want to do and can get a few breaks, we can be the victor."

Wrong! But Hey You're First/
KPNX in Phoenix was first to report the news on an active shooter on the campus of Arizona Sate University.
The station sent out this push notification that had to send chills down the backs of students and parents of kids that go to ASU.
As we said, KPNX was first with the "confirmed" news from police.
Which seemed odd, when a short time later, the station got this email:
From: Vincent C Lewis
Sent: Monday, January 16, 2017 7:51 AM
Subject: ASU Downtown
Good morning,
Several are asking. A report of three people shot near 1st Avenue and Fillmore Street are not substantiated.
Phoenix Police have contacted a caller with possible mental health issues. A check of the immediate is in progress and no victims or further reports of shots heard have been located. Officers will continue to investigate.
Thank you,
Vince Lewis, Sergeant
Phoenix Police Department
The Tegna station then followed up with this report online that made no mention of their "False" notification earlier.
Maybe next time....let's worry about being RIGHT, instead of first.
Just a thought....

Do you have a professional portfolio? If you don't, it is worth your time to create one. A professional portfolio is a unique way to demonstrate your skills and experience and to stand out from your competition. If you want a portfolio, but don't know what to include, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
What you have done.
First and foremost, employers want to know if you are capable of doing the job. Any documentation that gives the employer a clearer picture of your work history will strengthen your portfolio. Some examples include annual reports or newsletters for companies that you have worked for, letters of reference, any special recognition that you have received, and work samples. The type of work sample that you include will completely depend on the nature of your job. Don't be afraid to get a little creative with it as long as it accurately represents the work that you have done.
What you know.
Before making the decision to hire you, employers need to know that you are qualified for the job. If you include all of your education documents in your portfolio, you can present them to the employer conveniently and professionally. Your education documents include degrees, diplomas, certificates, licenses, transcripts, as well as documentation from any workshops or training sessions you have attended. If you don't have much work experience, you may even want to include samples of a few school projects that demonstrate your knowledge of the industry.
Who you are.
There is more to you than what appears on your resume and your portfolio is a great place to showcase that. If you like, you can include information related to your hobbies, interests or community work, but never forget that this is still a professional portfolio. Everything in your portfolio should at least indirectly relate to the position. For example, if you are seeking a marketing position, photos of your paintings may show off your artistic flair. Similarly, if you are seeking a job in corporate sales, a golfing award could demonstrate that you are well-equipped to network on the golf course. The key is to use your portfolio to show the employer that you are the complete package.
It takes a little bit of work, but once you have a professional portfolio you may wonder how you ever survived interviews without one!

I recently had the opportunity to shoot the second of four sessions with Nyla. This time, we were lucky enough to have a few more members of the family around for some fun with the smiley six-month-old.
We started with a chef's outfit for Halloween. Learning from last time, we kept things moving pretty quickly and didn't spend much time on any given setting. A quick change and she was suddenly a cuddly bear.
My favorite was a brown outfit with a pink knit, flower hat. We set her on a bench near the window and I positioned myself to catch a nice reflection.
We grabbed a few more family, posed shots and then wrapped it up. Great stuff this time. Can't wait for session #3.

After an all-night voting session, Congress closed the Centennial year with a significant investment in the future of our National Parks. The last-minute passage of the National Park Service Centennial Act (H.R. 4680) last weekend will have long term benefits for Voyageurs National Park, Voyageurs National Park Association, and parks and their partners across the country. And, it boasts significant bipartisan support.
The NPS Centennial Act will help address some of the $12 billion backlog in needed repairs to park infrastructure; expand the Centennial Challenge Fund, a public-private funding partnership; establish and seed a national parks endowment; and provide additional opportunities for youth and volunteers.
The expansion and continuation of the Centennial Challenge Fund builds on the proven success of leveraging private dollars with federal funds for projects and programs throughout the National Park System. In the past two years, Congress invested $25 million in the program, while partners raised over $45 million in matching funds. Locally, Centennial Challenge funds matched by Voyageurs National Park Association and other funding sources helped to rehab Voyageurs National Park's Cruiser Lake Trail and launch a wetland restoration project. VNPA looks forward to this continued opportunity to leverage future funds to engage youth, offer learning and recreation opportunities, and protect and restore historic sites.
Read what our partners at National Park Foundation, National Parks Traveler, and the Outdoor Industry Association have to say about this legislation.

Mochi is a Japanese word for little sticky cakes that are sweet inside and savory outside. Mochi are made with special rice flour that is cooked until it becomes a very smooth and sticky paste. The paste is formed into small blocks or circles. In Japan, Mochi can be found in every home during the New Year celebration.
Mochi doesn't stay soft and chewy for long, so it should be eaten at the same they when you cook them. However, you can meal prep the components and the fillings and then combine then into delicious mochi. Western version of this treat has more sugar but you can change the sweetness by reducing the amount of sugar.
One of the main reasons red bean mochi is so delicious is because they are really fresh and surprisingly chewy. You make them and serve them immediately, but that's not a problem because mochi are so tasty that every single piece will be eaten very quickly.
Quick red bean mochi
Traditionally, mochi took hours to make by pounding white rice with a mallet until it became rice flour. Nowadays, that would be a bit too much for the most of us, so there is a quicker way to make mochi. You can get rice flour in an Asian store, some of them are prepared for mochi dough. This is a simple mochi recipe with the red bean paste that is always a huge success. The texture is perfect for the sweet but not overpowering filling.
For the dough:
- 220 g rice flour
- 110 g sugar
- 200 ml milk (I prefer coconut milk)
- 40 g rice flour for coating
For the red bean paste:
- 125 g red beans
- 200 ml water
- 40 g sugar
Take a bowl and add sugar and flour. Gently pour coconut milk and mix everything together until smooth. Put the mixture in a plate and steam over a medium heat for 25-30 minutes. You can use a wooden spoon to test if the mixture is ready. Flour shouldn't stick to the wood. Place a bowl on a kitchen table and let it cool down for 15 minutes.
Place the dough on a clean surface, cut it into even portions. Gently press every portion to form a disc. Put red bean paste in the middle of every portion, carefully fold edges of mochi to seal the paste. Roll the disc into a ball with your hand, coat with coconut. If dough sticks to your hand, dust them with cornstarch.
For the bean paste, you should rinse beans and soak them for 4-6 hours. They will become much larger. Add them into a big bowl and cook over a medium heat for 40 minutes, the beans should become soft. Make sure water always covers the beans or they can burn. When beans are soft, they will still hold their shape, which gives mochi its amazing texture. You can gently mix the bean paste with a spatula to make it softer or creamier.
Add sugar to your paste while it is hot, taste the sweetness of the mix. Add more sugar if necessary, or you can use any powdery sweetener that dissolves in hot mixtures. I love coconut sugar more because it gives a more gentle taste.

Although the motivating role of feedback and progress indicators is understood in formal learning, their role in supporting incidental mobile learning is less well understood. In this paper we argue that well-designed feedback and progress indicators (FPIs) offer guidance and structure that may encourage mobile app users to move from fragmented learning episodes towards a longer term, reflective learning journey. Drawing from relevant literature we consider how FPIs can be used in the EU-funded MASELTOV project which explores how a suite of smartphone apps can support recent immigrants to Europe to become integrated in their new cities. These apps allow learning episodes to be part of daily activities and interactions. The authors discuss what kinds of FPIs should be provided and introduce the SCAMP model which emphasises five types of FPIs-Social, Cognitive, Affective, Motivational and Progress. Finally, the authors provide examples of FPIs that will be used in the MASELTOV project.

The True Essence of Religion
The moment man became religious should have been the end of all conflict, but unfortunately, everywhere in the world, religion has become the main source of conflict. This has taken the maximum number of lives and caused the maximum amount of pain on the planet for thousands of years. This is only because people believe in something that is not a reality for them. Somebody believes in something, somebody else believes in something else, and naturally conflict cannot be avoided. They may avoid conflict for some time, but some day they will fight. As long as you believe that only your way is right, and somebody else believes his way is right, you are bound to fight.
All religions started as an inward path; but over time they got twisted and have simply became a set of beliefs. All religions have taught about the value of a human life. Yet, for the sake of the same religion, today you are willing to take each other's lives. Unfortunately, much pain and conflict has risen in this planet because of this. This basic problem has not been properly addressed. People are always trying to do patch up jobs between one group and the other, but they do not last. Conflict is bound to arise when people believe that which is not yet a reality for them. If you come down to reality, it is the same reality for everybody, no matter what religious background you come from. When you come to belief, each group has their own belief of what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false. You believe in things that you have not seen and experienced. This has become the basis of all conflict.
The basic purpose of yoga has always been to pursue religion as an experience, as an inner experience, not as a belief. Don't start with any belief; start looking inward. Whatever is true, experience it and go further, approach it as a science, not as a belief.
In yoga, we just see that fundamentally a human being can grow or reach his Ultimate Nature, God or the Divine, or whatever you would like to call it, by approaching it either through the body, the mind, emotion, or through inner energies. These are the only four realities that you know. Everything else is imagined. Everything else has been taught to you.
These are the four basic ways of yoga. If the body (action) is used for growth, it is karma yoga. If the mind or intelligence is used, it is gnana yoga. If emotion—love and devotion—are used, then it is bhakti yoga. If you transform your energies and grow, it is kriya yoga. This is just like referring to head, heart, hands and energy. That is what you are; that is what every human being is. Nobody is all head, or all heart, or all hands, or all energy, they are a combination of these four dimensions.
So, if a person has to grow, he needs a combination of these four paths of bhakti, gnana, kriya and karma. All the four need to be there in your life—only then there is growth. Only then there is a possibility of reaching the ultimate nature. Otherwise we have groups, and groups, and groups—quarrelling groups everywhere. Spiritually, there is nothing happening. Unless something of true value happens within a person, nothing of tremendous value can be done in the external world. Whatever you do, it is only your quality that you are going to spread. Whether you like it or not, this is the reality. Who you are is what you are going to spread everywhere. If you are concerned about the world, the first thing is that you must be willing to transform yourself.
Yoga is about "I am willing to change myself." This is not about wanting to change the world—you are willing to change. Only when you are willing to change, a change can really happen in this world. But when you say, "I want everybody else to change," then, only conflict will occur. Only when you are willing to change there will be transformation. It is this self-transformation that will lead to true well-being for the individual and the society. This is a true revolution.

George Formby's banjo ukulele to be sold at auction
A banjo ukulele owned by popular 1930s and 40s entertainer George Formby is to be auctioned, with an estimated sale price of £30,000.
Hansons Auctioneers said the Gibson UB3 banjolele is expected to attract worldwide interest at the sale on 30 June, in Etwall, Derbyshire.
In 2008, another George Formby banjo ukulele sold for for £72,000 at auction to Queen's Brian May.
In 1936, the BBC banned Formby's song The Window Cleaner for being smutty.
John Croft, former president of the George Formby Society and ukulele expert, said: "There is huge interest in this instrument. George Formby has fans all over the world - young and old."
Mr Croft, from Llanyblodwel, Shropshire, added it was a "wonderful piece of social history".
"In his heyday in the late 1930s, George Formby earned more than three top Hollywood stars put together - Errol Flynn, Douglas Fairbanks and Clark Gable.
"And we should never forget Formby's contribution to boosting morale among the troops during World War Two.
"He and his wife Beryl flew out to dangerous war zones, including El Alamein. This country owes a great deal to them both.
"I hope the instrument stays in the UK but the most important thing is that it is loved and played."
This banjolele was originally purchased by Bill Logan, the first president of the George Formby Society.
Who was George Formby?
He was born George Hoy Booth on 26 May 1904, in Wigan and was the eldest of seven children
The actor, singer-songwriter and comedian's show business career started in 1921 and lasted 40 years until his death in 1961
He was famous for playing the banjolele and by 1939 was the most popular and highest paid entertainer in the British Isles - he was estimated to be earning more than £100,000 a year
Formby appeared in 21 films, made more than 230 records, entertained on stage hundreds of times, performed twice by royal command and entertained an estimated three million allied servicemen and women during World War Two
In 1960, Formby made his last record, Happy Go Lucky Me, and in December that year made what was his final television programme, The Friday Show
George Formby Society
Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, said: "This is such a rare opportunity. This was one of George Formby's favourite banjoleles and the chance to own and play it is very special. This instrument is a priceless treasure for Formby fans."
Formby was said to have owned three Gibson UB3 models.

Despite my having little to no interaction with Felise and Adam before their wedding day, they turned out to be one of my favorite couples of 2016! It's pretty unusual for me to not meet with and chat with my couples extensively beforehand, but in Felise's case, she knew what she wanted, what her budget was, and booked with me over email *gasp.* If it was anyone else, I would have been worried but they were a comforting combo of relaxed and confident that made me think it would turn out well! Of course, it did! Montclair Civic Center was actually one of the venues that my hubby and I considered for our wedding too and I've thought it was adorable since then! I'm super happy that I got the chance to take photos there not long after our own wedding.
The first time I saw Felise was when she walked down the aisle towards Adam, and I was just as blown away as he was. Her fun yellow shoes were super adorable with her short fun dress but it was the smile on her face that truly stood out. I have found a common streak between my favorite clients... they love each other SO much. So fully, with so much trust, and a kind of committed real-ness that is so different from a first crush, or a relationship still in the butterfly stage. It's pure magic to witness and part of why I still love doing this after 200 weddings!
The reception was such a hoot. It was proof to me that you don't have to spend $10k on your wedding to have a good time when you are as genuine as Felise and Adam. After seeing the rest of their day pan out, I started to realize that photography had been a huge priority to them! We got some Cosmos pizza delivered, a few kegs of beer, and some Costco sheet cakes. Definitely the making of a good party. Soon after the pizza was washed down with some good beers, they started pumping the music and getting the fog machine going! Appaaaaarently... one is supposed to get a permit before using a fog machine in a venue like the Montclair Civic Center. We thought the firemen were joining the party at first, but turns out they were actually pretty grumpy about the number of phone calls they had been receiving about the "smoke coming out of the building." Woops! Adding that to my list of things to mention to couples when they're wedding planning!
Enjoy the photos!
<3 Kate

Rebuilt EnginesWritten by Dallas Smith
When you are looking to purchase rebuilt engines, you have a number of very important considerations. For example, you'll want to consider the type of engine you require, and whether or not a provider can offer you the specific engine you're looking for. Also, you'll want to take into account what options are available as far as warranties are concerned, i.e., length of time and the mileages covered.
Additionally, with so many providers of rebuilt engines, you can be sure to find the make and model engine that matches that of the intended vehicle, but here's where it gets tricky. Out of all the providers available, the challenge is to find the provider who can offer you the best engine possible, for the best price, and even with great warranty coverage thrown in on top of everything. To that end, do yourself a favor by taking the time to research the available providers extensively, so you can get the best value for your well-earned money.
Qualities to Look for in Great Rebuilt Engines
When you purchase rebuilt engines, you want to look for an engine that has not only been rebuilt, meaning reconditioned through cleaning, with badly damaged parts replaced, but you can also go the extra step of purchasing a remanufactured engine. This process involves breaking down the used engine core and returning it to the original equipment standards. Most importantly, such an engine will also be tested to the original manufacturer specifications and will be expected to meet original production standards.
When your rebuilt engines have gone through this degree of rigorous testing to meet high performance standards, you can be confident that you've got a great engine that will greatly extend the life of your vehicle as it substantially improves the value as well. Do the legwork to find the best engine providers, and you'll be rewarded with a high-quality product that will impress with its performance and durability. Finally, as more miles pass with your vehicle staying well clear of the shop, the more you'll appreciate taking the time to find the best engine for your money.

Cushion, Camel & Grey, 100% Cotton
To go on stripe (def.) : to refuse to work, instead choosing to spend the day picking out linear patterns that make your home remarkable.
e.g. "Yesterday, my husband and I went on stripe. I skipped a conference call and he missed his work trip. I felt bad, but discovering beautiful textiles beats sitting through Sandra's meeting slides with their endless disregard for apostrophes. We made a cup of tea and sat down to obsess over stripes. After a while, we found The One. But we ordered three."
Meet the Priya.
In the early 90s, one father had a big ambition – to open a business with his two sons in their local region. Already a textiles expert from time spent studying specialised knitting techniques across Europe, he set up factory in Haryana, India, creating fine knits for stylish homes.

by Mr. E! The Motivator!
What if I told you that your teacher doesn't matter. What if I told you that it is ALL UP TO YOU to pass a class? How would you do it? What steps would you take to pass that class?
I believe that you would do a few of the following things:
1. Eliminate Excuses – You'll stop saying what you can't do and start figuring out how YOU CAN do it
2. You will work, read, and study like never before so that no one can tell you what you DON'T know.
3. You will dare anyone to challenge your knowledge on the subject so that you can prove your worth to those that doubt you.
4. You will learn about the subject in diverse ways so that you can understand all angles of thought about the subject
5. You will, lastly, realize that you can do these things right now and be greater than you've ever been before….
So how about it?

Neurotypicals won't always understand certain elements of Asperger's, and that's okay
My kid brother thinks I focus too much on my Asperger's and says so every time I mention having it. The problem is that I only mention it if we're talking about disabilities at all or if I happen to see something related to it. According to him, I talk about it constantly, which I don't because as anyone who actually has Asperger's knows it's much more fun to talk about your special interests constantly.
It hit me tonight at dinner when I made a joke about my Asperger's and he implied again that I discuss it too much that he must not understand how much work I have to do just to survive in a world that he can navigate without thinking. He was born with a normal brain that allowed him to naturally develop social skills, make friends, and avoid being mistreated. I was not. I had to struggle just to make friends. I had to develop a highly sophisticated, self-deprecating sense of humor to fight off bullies from the moment I entered kindergarten until the moment I graduated high school. I didn't even know I had Asperger's until I was 20 years old.
As an adult, I need to actively make sure that I don't put myself in situations that would be overwhelming for me. I need to manage my condition constantly to keep myself safe. I need to overthink social situations so I don't say the wrong thing or embarrass anybody - naturally, this is extremely tiring, and the social anxiety I developed from being bullied doesn't help matters.
And all that work is just to make sure I don't have a panic attack or a breakdown whilst going through an average day. My brother will never have to worry about that, so he can't possibly understand why I have to do this. And I've accepted now that he can't understand and that I can't explain it to him - and that's okay. Even though he's my best friend because we grew up together and always had each other, there are going to be certain things that happen to one of us that the other one can't comprehend.
I should probably just discuss the Asperger's stuff with my parents and not him, though, just to be safe.

How I see it, if someone's not getting it (or getting tired of hearing it), it's best not to mention it. Asperger's is a way of being and I think for most of us it affects just about everything. Talking about AS is like talking about life. It'd probably be normal for aspies in conversation with other aspies to say "I had a meltdown this morning" or "I hyperfocused on my favorite game" in response to "how are you?"ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, I usually don't talk about it much in real life unless it comes up or is relevant, but my younger brother has somehow decided that I focus on it way too much instead of understanding that it literally does affect every part of my life, and that's the problem here. It's frustrating, but I'm at a point where I don't mention it to him at all because I know he's not going to get that!Delete

Gilroy Wedding: Annie & Wayne
I'm excited to share Annie and Wayne's Gilroy wedding with you today! These two got hitched way up on top of a hill overlooking Gilroy on a beautiful, sunny day. Their festivities included a Chinese tea ceremony and a Korean ceremony, lots of laughter and a game of ping pong!
Thank you to Topher Simon for having me along for this fun day! Here are some of my favorites from their day, starting off with Annie getting ready. A very interested flower girl was front row for a makeup tutorial. The view you, guys. The view!
Lots of laughs during this ceremony. Time for the Korean ceremony! During a ceremony called p'ye-baek that usually follows the wedding ceremony, the groom's parents throw walnuts and dates and the bride tries to catch them. The walnuts and dates symbolize future children, it was fun to watch! In lieu of a first dance, Annie and Wayne surprised their guests with a first ping pong game! The scoreboard :) Thank you so much to Annie and Wayne for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful wedding day!

Will you be able to vote this November?
This year, we will hold the first presidential election in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act. Not coincidentally, 17 states will have new restrictions on voting in effect that were not in place during the last presidential election. Collectively, these states contain over 114 million people and have 189 votes in the Electoral College – about 70 percent of the votes needed to be elected president. Congress can take action now to strengthen voter protections that have been weakened by the Supreme Court to ensure that every American vote counts this November.

Ever since T.S. Eliot and I were properly introduced during my freshman year of college, I have treasured his poetry. He certainly makes you work at it, but the words, phrases, and images he offers are ones I return to again and again.
When I think about writing, I often think of these words from his poem East Coker, the second poem in the Four Quartets.
Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure
Because one has only learnt to get the better of words
For the thing one no longer has to say, or the way in which
One is no longer disposed to say it. And so each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling,
Undisciplined squads of emotion. And what there is to conquer
By strength and submission, has already been discovered
Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope
To emulate—but there is no competition—
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. By perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.
Some days, I sit staring at my computer screen, my fingers poised over the keyboard, struggling to find the right words. Some days, the swirl of my own thoughts and emotions make it impossible to nail down the thoughts I wish to communicate. Some days, I get discouraged when I think I really have nothing new to say. Then, I come back to "the fight to recover what has been lost and found and lost again and again." There is nothing new—only the rehearsing of the same old words and truths in slightly different form.
I feel like that is the fight not only of a writer but also of the life of faith. I find myself in the steady, upward cycle of forgetting and remembering, of doubting and believing, of fickleness and faithfulness. That process, that land of "the trying" is the ground on which our hearts are formed.

Dear Black Families: The Intro
- Stop Pimping Your Kids: This should be self explanatory. Your kids are NOT your cash cow. Stop using your kids giftings from Heavens and Ancestors to benefit you. Their gift shall make room for them and not you!!! God gave them that gift to profit from and benefit from you. Please find your gift and stop discombobulating and controlling your child's or children's future because you failed and are still failing to live your life.
- Embrace Your Children: No matter how you were raised and no matter what you may have been taught via religion, society, embrace your children. So what your daughter dates outside of her race. So what your son is Gay or Bisexual? So What if your child is transgender? Does that make them less human? Stop using religion and unrealistic standards and bashing your child. What about the things that displeased your parents? What about your mistakes?
- Talk About Sexuality and Gender Identity: It is time for the Black Family Unit to STOP, and I DO MEAN STOP acting ignorant about sexuality and gender identity. Sex happens. People are Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Freaks, and Love busting a good nut!!! How do you think you got here? Oh yeah did you know that transgender people have been around since ages before the Bible Was written? Check your history then comeback to me.
6. Educate Yourself and HIV and AIDS: Do I really have to explain this? For those who are intentionally blind or ignorant, let me do so. HIV is not a Gay disease nor is it punishment from God. What about babies born with HIV? What about rape victims? HIV is a virus that if left untreated can became AIDS. HIV is a virus and AIDS is a syndrome. Please talk to a specialist about the difference and what HIV and AIDS is and is not and how it is or is not transmitted. This will help end the stigma.
7.Take Charge of your Health: Health should be your main priority. Yes some things we can't help, but getting regular check ups, researching, and getting resources concerning health insurance, financial help, and more will be vital. It will not hurt your pride in getting help.
8.Help Yourself: Reference #7 please and think long and hard.
I will be back for more Dear Black Families Soon

How does your school collect syllabi? What is your school's process for instructors to post their course syllabi?
Please discuss how your institution collects syllabi, (if they do)? Do you collect all syllabi or just a sample for accreditation? Do you load syllabi into the SIS and connect to Blackboard via a link or B2? Do you require your instructors to load syllabi directly into Bb or into the SIS and do you use a custom interface for the latter? We are looking for a simpler approach as we currently use a custom tool by Bb and further hands-on massaging to get it into other campus systems.
Background: Institutional Research (IR) at U of L collects all syllabi. We require instructors to load syllabi into the Bb course by order of the Provost for the following reasons. 1. This allows students to shop classes, as the area is guest accessible, 2. This allows IR to run reports on syllabi that have been loaded and collect all syllabi (by semester) via a custom built tool by Bb ICM for accreditation purposes. We are looking for a simpler and cheaper solution as IR then collects the syllabi and loads into OnBase. This process involves multiple departments, systems and processes currently.
My suggestion is to have the instructors load directly into PeopleSoft or directly into OnBase and link to PS. Please discuss what your school does in terms of syllabi, thanks.

The World's Longest Undersea Pipeline
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
Technology Documentary published by Discovery Channel broadcasted as part of DC Building the Biggest series in 2006 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
Picture a landscape of jagged peaks and sharp valleys strewn with enormous boulders the size of small houses. This is the scene beneath the sea off the coast of Norway, where the world's longest undersea gas pipeline begins its epic journey across the ocean floor to Easington on the eastern coast of England, 1,200 kilometres away.
The Langeled pipeline consists of tens of thousands of individual steel sections, each several metres long and around a metre in diameter. These are welded together on a special ship, a 'floating pipe factory', before a protective coating is applied and the pipeline is laid on the sea floor at a rate of up to five kilometres a day.
The seabed itself is prepared in advance, with underwater diggers removing boulders and levelling the terrain by dumping 3 million tonnes of rock. When it is complete the pipe will carry more than 70 million cubic metres of gas a day from the new Ormen Lange field in Norway to the UK.

Porsche has quietly released a handful of new images of the upcoming Mission E.
Tucked away in a report that few people will probably read, the pictures give us a better look at the electric sedan. While they don't reveal much, the images show the model will have a small frunk – front trunk – where the engine would normally be located.
We also get a glimpse of the uncamouflaged bodywork and the relatively large trunk opening. The photos also tease the Mission E's LED taillights and its electric charging port.
Porsche didn't reveal too many details about the model but said the car will be launched in 2019 with clear, puristic and pioneering Porsche e-Performance. Speaking of which, the car will have over 600 PS (441) and this will enable the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds. The company also said drivers can expect to travel 500 km (310 miles) on a single charge.
Porsche says the Mission E will be an "exclusive sports car which sets new standards as the sportiest and … most technologically sophisticated car of its class." The company went on to describe the model as a "convincing answer" to the challenges of e-mobility as the model will combine sustainability and electromobility with performance and driving pleasure.
In another part of the report, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said the "Mission E will be the sportiest and the most technologically advanced vehicle in its class." He also predicted the "sportiest Porsche will have an electric drive" unit by 2030. Blume even suggested the 911 might be an electric vehicle by then.
Speaking of the 911, Blume said the next-generation model will "soon be here" and it will embrace "evolution instead of revolution." As he explained, the company will "Renew everything while retaining an irreplaceable identity."
On the subject of diesel engines, Blume said "There's no reason to just suddenly abandon diesel" as the company "would not be able to completely make up the difference with petrol and hybrid engines." He went on to say diesel engines are important to achieving their CO2 targets and many people "really don't understand Germany's current discussion about the future of diesel."

"And that is why you have so few of them!"
Peter is called the "Prince of the Apostles" for many reasons, including this Sunday's Gospel. So on a feast dedicated to Peter, where the Gospel has Jesus saying "you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church," we would expect readings that show Peter in all of his glory. And we would be mistaken. Instead, the first reading (from Acts) gives us a scary mess.
Remember the Transfiguration, the Garden of Gethsemane, and all of the other times Jesus went off with a few select Apostles? That smaller group was always Peter, James, and John. The first reading opens with the almost random killing of James by Herod (number one on the History Channel's "Psychotic Despots of the Bible" special last year). Because killing a member of Jesus' inner circle went over so well with the public, Herod decides to boost his popularity some more and locks up Peter in preparation for a repeat.
If this is what you get when you are given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, it makes you think of Teresa of Avila's exchange with God after she was knocked off the donkey she was riding and injured her leg:
T. "Lord, you couldn't have picked a worse time for this to happen. Why would you let this happen?"
G. "This is how I treat all my friends."
T. "And that is why you have so few of them!"
We'll look at Paul tomorrow.
