Sounds like a lovely trip with lots of together time, some crochet and a film what could be nicer. I love your random blanket and mixing crochet and knitting together is a fab idea.ReplyDelete
Hope you have a good week.
Sue xxxReplies
I've so enjoyed working with both knitting and crochet, you should definitely give it a go.Delete
Have a good week Sue,

That trip sounds wonderful, proper tonic for the body and soul. Your photos capture the sense of space really well, I think, and what a view from your caravan! So glad you had good weather too. xReplyDeleteReplies
The sun definitely makes it all so much better doesn't it ? I took your top tip BTW and made all my photos a bit bigger on my post this time ... just need a camera now ! K xDelete
What a stunning spot, a real find, the Gower is so beautiful. Glad you had such a lovely time, and good to see you had some yarny time as well, the blanket is great.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you CJ, have a great week K xDelete
aaah you can't beat a good beach can you :) Your doggie is soooo gorgeous. We are trying to pluck up the courage to get a dog, we both grew up with dogs but can't quite bite the bullet yet, we know how much hard work they can be - but of course how rewarding :)ReplyDelete
Your blanket colours are really comforting to me - they are very much like my school uniform was lol :) This is definitely not a bad thing though :) We had a dark green skirt, beige winter blouse,white summer blouse and our ties and scarves had a red stripe in as well. They do complement each other perfectly ! Our school uniform designer knew what he was talking about :)Replies
Love a good beach ! And these are certainly good with a capital G ! Love how my blanket reminds you of your school uniform, K xDelete
What a beautiful place! Looks as though you had an amazing time. Love your new blanket too - you are embracing the random aren't you! xxReplyDeleteReplies
I'm certainly trying Amy ! K xDelete
Looks wonderful Kate. It's lovely to be able to get a way for a few days. I wish I could convince D that a caravan would be a good thing especially with four dogs but he's not taking the bait yet. I'll keep working on it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Keep at it, you never know it might work, K xDelete
and thank you for the poppy pattern Mitzi. xDelete
Well he eventually got fed up with me going on about a craft room and one materialized so you never know.Delete
Forgot to mention... The Poppy pattern says to use 4 ply but I have been using DK and smaller hook as the petals seem to hold better.Delete
Glad you had a lovely time away...and time to do some crafting too, even better! Your new blanket is lovely!ReplyDelete
Marianne xReplies
Thank you Marianne, have a good week, K xDelete
What a wonderful little escape you had with your honey and gorgeous pooch! Looks like a marvelous, relaxing time, a beautiful place, complete with random yarny love! I adore your latest make, I think it would be perfect for me when I start to re-learn to knit - when I get frustrated I can just crochet a square or two and feel stable again! ;-) Brilliant idea, you always make the most creative and fun things! Chrissie xReplyDeleteReplies
Aw thank you Chrissie. You're so right about making crochet and knitted squares - the crochet ones just fly off the hook !Delete
Have a great week, K x
Really interested to hear about the Gower as we are going to take our van there later in the year and were going to start looking for sites so where you've been looks perfect. Also going to have a night or two at Merkins Farm on the way as we have very good friends in Bradford on Avon. AnneReplyDeleteReplies
You should definitely give it a try Anne, and its probably worth booking during holiday times. There's another site too just a little bit before Nicholaston called Three Cliffs , and that's really amazing site too as it looks right over the beach. Love Merkins too ! They're all so friendly aren't they.Delete
Have a great week
Kate x
Thanks Kate for that,will look it up. xDelete
You are right, the views are stunning from your caravan window. And your caravan looks so cosy and inviting - love the lights! And oh my goodness, you have a kelly kettle - we love ours, it boils water so quickly doesn't it? Glad you had a great weekendReplyDelete
Caz xxReplies
You just cant beat a Kelly Kettle can you, tea wherever you go !Delete
Have a great week Caz
K x
Hurrah for the random! Beautiful place in Wales too it seems.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hurrah indeed !Delete
Have a great week,
K x
Hi Kate, how beautiful that coastline is. Love your beach hut fairy lights and your blanket, the knitted/crochet combo is definitely the way to go on blankets, both on the speed and texture front, and it looks as though the fresh air has brought out your inner randomness! Enjoy the rest of the week.ReplyDelete
Jane xReplies
It was so surprising how much quicker the crochet squares grew compared to the knitted ones ! But, like you, I like both together.Delete
Have a great week,
K x
Such a lovely trip, Kate! I love the seaside, and your caravan looks so pretty and comfortable! All the wonderful walks looked perfect for your pooch too! Love your new blanket....well done on the really randomness :)ReplyDelete
Have a happy week.
Helen xox
Loving the random, the pooped pooch, and wow, that beach! We so need a caravan!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Can't beat a Welsh beach Annie !Delete
Have a great rest of week,
K x
Hi Kate, Loving your blog as usual and the caravan I so wish they were as popular in the United States. I just love them and your blanket another amazing one. Thank you so much for all the lovely photographs to view. Have a wonderful weekend.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Pamela for your lovely words, I'm glad you are enjoying a little Pootling too.Delete
Have a great weekend,
K x
What a beautiful place to go camping! The beach, the cliffs, the bluebells...it's all so lovely. I must admit I'm a bit jealous. :-)ReplyDelete
I love your blanket, too. What a fun idea!Replies
Hi Kristie, thanks for dropping by - The Gower really is lovely if you should ever get the chance to visit.Delete
Have a great weekend,
K x
Wow! That beach looks fabulous! We are off for a wet weekend in the caravan this weekend. I wouldn't mind if it was by the sea but it'll be the muddy field type of site unfortunately! I'm pretty envious that your dog has short hair and therefore stays cleaner and dryer. Ours can't go anywhere near the beds! I'm definitely packing my crochet too! XxReplyDelete
Thank you for dropping by - I LOVE receiving your comments and get really excited when I see a new one has been added. I read every single one and try to send a reply whenever I can. ♥

E- Quality Fresh×
E- Quality Fresh
The title of the project is "Implementation of food products quality check using sensors".
In recent years, food product exports to the developed country markets have emerged as a potential major source of export growth for many developed countries
Losses resulting from inadequate post-harvest handling, storage and distribution result in diminished returns for producing countries. In the last years, international markets have rejected exports of fruits and vegetables containing non-authorized pesticides, with pesticide residues exceeding permissible limits, with inadequate labeling and packaging requirements, with contaminants exceeding regulatory levels, without the required nutritional information and/or with inadequate general quality.
Most of the products are not been maintained with the good quality. This project provides quality check-up for a commodity using sensors. Customers can easily buy required commodity through online. The products that have been checked for the quality using sensors enhanced further for customer purchase.
Online Discussion Forum×
Online Discussion Forum
ODF is designed in such a way that the whole forum structure is fully intertwined and tangled within itself. This makes the forum structure very difficult to empathize. Though it is difficult to comprehend, it can easily be adaptable to any type of or nature of discussion forum. Make it available across other platforms, without inflicting changes in the code. It can be GUI presented, and allow handling of events through mouse. New modules can be designed, without effecting existing modules. An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.
Forums have a specific set of jargon associated with them; e.g. a single conversation is called a "thread", ortopic.

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)×
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is designed to determine if a car is registered in a toll payment program,alert enforcers of toll payment violations, and debit the participating account. With ETC, these transactions can be performed while vehicles travel at near highway cruising speed. ETC is fast becoming a globally accepted method of toll collection, a trend greatly aided by the growth of interoperable ETC technologies. Technologies used in ETC are Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), Automatic Vehicle Classification (AVC), Video Enforcement Systems (VES) and Vehicle Positioning System (VPS).ETC systems are deployed in the following cities in India: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.

The chair will also sense the obstacles in front of it and gives a beep sound.
Design and implementation of demodulation technique with complex dpll using cordic algorithm×
Design and implementation of demodulation technique with complex dpll using cordic algorithm
CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) is a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate hyperbolic and trigonometric functions. It is commonly used when no multiplier hardware is available (e.g., simple micro-controllers and FPGAs). The only operations it requires are addition, subtraction, bit shift and lookup table. The pipelined architecture for coordinate rotation algorithm for the computation of loop performance of complex Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) in In-phase and quadrature channel receiver is designed.
The design of CORDIC in the vector rotation mode results in high system throughput due to its pipe-lined architecture where latency is reduced in each of the pipelined stage. For on-chip application, the area reduction in the proposed design can be achieved through optimization in the number of micro rotations. For better loop performance of
first order complex DPLL and to minimize quantization error, the number of iterations are also optimized.
A New Approach for High Performance and Efficient Design of CORDIC Processor×
A New Approach for High Performance and Efficient Design of CORDIC Processor
This paper presents a new approach for the high performance and hardware efficient design of coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) processor structure. The proposed design approach completely eliminates the ROM requirement of constant arctangent values. Furthermore, efficient designs of carry look ahead adders (CLAs), exploiting one input as constant, in the angle adder/subtractor datapath speeds-up the computation while maintaining regularity. The proposed architecture is implemented in FPGA as well as in 180nm standard cell library. The proposed implementation has about 39% delay improvement in FPGA and about 34% delay improvement in standard cell technology as compared to basic structure. About 47% power savings has been achieved in the proposed structure.
Design of Plural-Multiplier Based on CORDIC Algorithm for FFT Application×
Design of Plural-Multiplier Based on CORDIC Algorithm for FFT Application
CORDIC plural-multiplier is the key module to affecting the speed and accuracy of FFT processor. Considering these demands, the problem of CORDIC algorithm is discussed in detail and the according optimization methods are given in this paper. Then, the hardware pipe-lining structure of the CORDIC multiplier is put forward. Comparison results about RTL simulation results with MATLAB calculation indicate that the design is feasible and practical.
Hardware Efficient Architecture for Generating Sine/Cosine Waves×
Hardware Efficient Architecture for Generating Sine/Cosine Waves
This paper presents a hardware efficient architecture for generating sine and cosine waves based on the CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) algorithm. In its original form the CORDIC suffers from major drawbacks like scale-factor calculation, latency and optimal selection of micro-rotations. The proposed algorithm overcomes all these drawbacks. We use leading-one bit detection technique to identify the microrotations. The scalefree design of the proposed algorithm is based on Taylor series expansion of the sine and cosine waves. The 16-bit iterative architecture achieves approximately 4.5% and 6.7% lower slice-delay product as compared to the other existing designs. The algorithm design and its VLSI implementation are detailed.

FPGA Implementation of Sine and Cosine Value Generators using Cordic Algorithm for Satellite Attitude Determination and Calculators
Now-a-days various Digital Signal Processing systems are implemented on a platform of programmable signal processors or on application specific VLSI chips. Coordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm has turned out to be such kind of programmable signal processor. In recent times, it has been a widely researched topic in the field of vector rotated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications due to its simplicity. This paper presents the design of pipelined architecture for coordinate rotation algorithm for the computation of loop performance of complex Digital Phase Locked Loop (DPLL) in In-phase and quadrature channel receiver. The design of CORDIC in the vector rotation mode results in high system throughput due to its pipelined architecture where latency is reduced in each of the pipelined stage. For on-chip application, the area reduction in proposed design can is achieved through optimization in the number of micro rotations. For better loop performance of first order complex DPLL and to minimize quantization error, the numbers of iterations are also optimized.

Design and Implementation of CORDIC Processor for Complex DPLL
This paper presents an area-time efficient CORDIC algorithm that completely eliminates the scale-factor. By suitable selection of the order of approximation of Taylor series the proposed CORDIC circuit meets the accuracy requirement, and attains the desired range of convergence. Besides we have proposed an algorithm to redefine the elementary angles for reducing the number of CORDIC iterations. A generalized micro-rotation selection technique based on high speed most-significant-1-detection obviates the complex search algorithms for identifying the micro-rotations. The proposed CORDIC processor provides the flexibility to manipulate the number of iterations depending on the accuracy, area and latency requirements. Compared to the existing recursive architectures the proposed one has 17% lower slice-delay product on Xilinx Spartan XC2S200E device.
Approach lightning system/pilot controlled lightning at airport runway for energy conservation×
Approach lightning system/pilot controlled lightning at airport runway for energy conservation
Pilot Controlled Lighting (PCL), also known as Aircraft Radio Control of Aerodrome Lighting (ARCAL) or Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL), is a system which allows aircraft pilots to control the lighting of an airport or airfield's approach lights, runway edge lights, and taxiways via radio. At some airfields, the aerodrome beacon may also be ARCAL controlled. ARCAL is most common Anton or little-used airfields where it is neither economical to light the runways all night, nor to provide staff to turn the runway lighting on and off. It
enables pilots to control the lighting only when required, saving electricity and reducing light pollution. The ARCAL frequency for most aerodromes is usually the same as the UNICOM/CTAF frequency, although in some rare cases, a second ARCAL frequency may be designated to control the lighting for a second runway separately (an example of this is runway 01/19 at the airport in Sydney, NS). To activate the lights, the pilot clicks the radio transmit switch on the ARCAL frequency a certain number of times within a specified number of seconds. There are two type of ARCAL systems, type J and type K. When either type of system is activated, a 15-minute countdown starts, after which the lights turn off. While the lights are on, whenever a lighting command is issued, whether it changes the lighting intensity or not, the 15-minute countdown is reset. At some airfields, the lights may flash once to warn pilots that the lights are about to go off, before turning off two minutes later.When using ARCAL, it is strongly recommended that aircraft on final approach to the airfield issue a fresh lighting command, even if the lights are already on (especially if the lights were activated by another aircraft). This is so that the lighting does not turn off at a critical moment (such as when crossing the runway threshold).

Labor Market Policy
In order to bridge the widening opportunity gap and help more New Yorkers find quality jobs, we must first understand the complex forces shaping our urban workforce. CSS is a trusted source of information and analysis on poverty and employment trends in New York City. We put this insight to work by proposing actionable policy solutions that improve economic opportunities for poor and marginalized New Yorkers.
Understanding the New York City Workforce
CSS conducts original research and data analysis to determine what is happening in the New York City labor market, which demographic groups are the most affected by high unemployment, and what lies behind trends in poverty. In this way we are able to formulate policy strategies designed to improve employment and other outcomes for those groups most impacted by joblessness and poverty.
Increasing Opportunities for Low-Wage Workers
Low-wage workers comprise a significant percentage of the New York City workforce. Yet we take issue with the term "working poor." CSS seeks to raise the floor of wages and benefits so that working New Yorkers can lift themselves out of poverty:
- We participate in living wage and raising the minimum wage campaigns.
- We advocate for comprehensive on-the-job benefits for low-wage workers, such as paid sick days and quality, affordable health insurance.
- We conduct original research on low-income families and low-wage workers, including our annual Unheard Third survey, to determine the most important issues they face in making ends meet.
Our Vision for a Working New York
The promise of a better New York requires a commitment to better opportunities. CSS believes that work is the most effective pathway out of poverty for those we serve; but we must set the conditions for people to be self-sustaining, thriving, active citizens. Through our data analysis and policy proposals, we are taking on the tough economic issues impacting our city's future—and leading the charge for job creation, skills training, and broad access to upward mobility for New York City's workforce.

Over on Create and Craft this weekend is the launch of the new HunkyDory stamps for this month! The first show is today at 9am, but you would need to check the schedule for other shows as they can be subject to change.
You can find the schedule online at...
Or you can watch live at...
I was lucky enough to have two of the new sets of stamps and masks to work with and today I am sharing with you the design team samples that I made using the vintage steam train set - Climb Aboard...
This card was made by using masking sheets to enable me to create a scene and then Spectrum Illustrator alcohol pens were used to colour. I love all the extra elements on the stamp set such as the tickets, and there are a few different sentiments that fit inside them to make lots of options.
I always want to create more than cards for my samples as to me stamps and masks are not just for card making they are tools, and as such they become so much more versatile. So I made this little MDF plaque using texture paste through the stencil for a different look. I always find creating gifts for men more tricky so I think this set is an excellent addition to any collection. This time I used Spectrum Aqua pens to make a more faded vintage look to the colouring of the train.
Finally I wanted to create a card that didn't use the train at all but could show how the other smaller elements can make quite a large card on their own. I also used the mask again in the background but this time with distress inks. All the colouring was done using just tea dye and vintage photo inks and the stamping with sepia Versafine.
Hopefully I have created a range of projects that shows you just some of what can be done with this set. The shows will be on across the weekend (depending on stock levels) so do please tune in for more examples from the rest of the team and also fab demonstrations!
I will show the samples that I made with the other stamp set on Monday, so if you are a sweetie fan you may want to take a look!!

My rings have temporarily been set aside. It was excruciating to take them off but necessary to keep working. During this season of gardening and weeding, a large blister formed just above the two bands on my right hand. I placed them in the jewelry box that my grandfather made and closed the small drawer with a bit of sadness in my heart. I enjoy wearing those rings. The first one is from 1940. It was my grandmother's wedding band.
I knew the age difference was significant between my grandparents but it wasn't until I was in my 20's that I heard the whole story. She eloped! He was the 40 year old neighbor and good friend to her father. She was the oldest girl of 6 children and only 19 when they fell in love. Her father was against them and after they married he didn't speak to her for 2 years. They wanted children of their own but couldn't conceive until 8 years later when they had my mother, an only child.
The second band was my mother's. She and my father met at a bar in upstate NY during her college years. He was home on leave from the military. My father asked her to dance 3 times before she agreed just to get him to go away. She forgot that she lied to him and it took my dad by surprise when he met her father for the first time. My dad thought he was meeting a man of the cloth. What he met was a cigarette smoking, tattooed, 4 lettered vocabulary man who wanted to know what the hell my dad was doing with his arm around my mother.
Those were the days!
My parents were married on a rainy day in August by a retired preacher who said, "awfully wedded life" instead of "lawfully wedded wife" and mispronounced my father's name. Somehow he turned Ronald into Roland.
No joke.
But enough about weddings .... this all started because I have an incessant need to weed.
Weeding is the perfect gardening activity for me. I put to use my problem solving skills! Assess the situation, create a plan of action, implement the tedious and detailed process, and the best part of all ... I see immediate results. It's fantastic!
Weeding allows me to be extremely critical and get to the heart of the problem without fluffy words or cautious tones. It's satisfying to be brutal once in a while! Even if it's just with the plants. Living in the south there aren't many opportunities to "tell it like it is" unless you include the phrase "bless her heart". Sometimes it's exhausting to be nice!

And so it begins.... the Festival of Lights in New Milford, CT will be Saturday, November 24 at 5:30 pm. For the 46th year, the New Milford Green will be adorned with trees running the entire length of the green for the holiday season. Come and be a part of the tree lighting ceremony.
The festivities include a visit from Santa, Christmas karaoke sing along and a parade of lights courtesy our volunteer fire departments as well as the lighting of the trees.
The trees on the New Milford Green are a big part of my holiday season and have been for many, many years. As we drove up the green yesterday afternoon and saw the United Methodist Men's Group putting up the trees my daughter reminded me of our ritual when my girls were young. We would pile into the car with "Gramma Z" and drive around and around singing our favorite Christmas songs. We would park and marvel at the magic of the scene in front of us. I hope we can continue the family tradition with my grandsons!
And a big thank you to the United Methodist Men for undertaking this tradition for the town year after year. I hope you know how much it is appreciated, and how deeply ingrained it has become as a special holiday memory for so many people. The Christmas season really starts for me when those trees are lit on our beautiful town green. The center of our town becomes alive with a magical feeling.

Jeff Beck performed a tribute show to late friend and musician Les Paul in New York on Wednesday.
The rocker took the stage at the Iridium Jazz Club, a venue frequented by Paul, to mark what would have been his 95th birthday, says BBC News.
Paul, who died last August, reportedly played the club every Monday night.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett, E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt and singer Meat Loaf were among the stars in the audience.
Van Zandt said that the concert was "the best show I've ever seen in my life".

Nice Summary and Suggestions on the Scratched K-5 "Sensor" Reported Cases
See this detailed summary and report, also with some opinions of the OP author expressed:-
(in Chinese, Google-translated English page here.)
Indeed, a very nice summary is compiled. Images are posted of which all are taken with brand new K-5 units with the defective "scratched" sensors (actually the AA filters of) for what some different Pentaxian victims have reported. In the posted photos, the defect is clearly shown and the scratches or stains (or whatsoever it is called, but it is NOT dust!) become very visible when just smaller apertures at or beyond f/11 are used.
Last but not least, I am fully agreed with the OP that it is a case showing the true value and power of the Internet. Without it, those manufacturing and QC issues would never be got known for the public (and so quickly) and the consumers would not get their replacement units so "easily" than ever before.
The poster has also kindly made some very good suggestions to Pentax for checking for the production line for whether there is anything wrong in the manufacturing process, which resulted in damage/contamination to the sensors/AA filters and their optical surface(s), no matter it is related to the machines and/or by the labours.
But anyway, I am almost sure that Hoya would just not listen, they will continue to do things on their own and avoid to admit any problem nor to proactively find out the root causes upon reported issues and not even to mention about to take preventive measures so that the same problems should not happen (and happen) again! >:-(

The Walk of Death
Dubbed by many as the World's most dangerous path, the Camino was officially closed after three people fell to their deaths in 2000.
Several accidents later and people are still flocking to southernmost Spain from all over the globe to walk the Camino before it receives an extensive makeover, no doubt losing some of its alluring, treacherous curves in the process. Something the Spanish government has been threatening to do for the last few years.
The current economic crisis has put any cosmetic re-figuring on hold, but the work is scheduled to be carried out before 2015.
So if you want to experience the Camino in its original, unedited version, now is the time to do it.
Update - the new Caminito del Rey is opening up to the public on the 28th of March, 2015. Here's all the information you'll need to visit the Caminito del Rey.
Video of the Caminito del Rey
El Camino del Rey: What, Where, Why
The Caminito del Rey is a three-kilometre-long path suspended more than 100m off the ground. The one-metre-wide path is built into the walls of the impressive Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, the Gaitanes gorge.
It is located between the villages of Alora and Ardales in the depths of Màlaga province. The path was originally built to connect two hydroelectric plants situated at either end of the Gaitanes gorge.
A Brief History of the Caminito
The Camino del Rey was used as way to transport workers and building materials between the two plants. Work started in 1901 before finishing in 1905. To much fanfare, El Chorro power station started to produce electricity in 1905. Despite its technological and industrial importance, it was the bridge overlooking the gorge that hogged the limelight.
Los Balcones was the name given to the bridge hanging 100m above the ground. It was designed by Rafael Benjumea and his specialized team of workers. Most of whom were sailors who were used to climbing ropes and working while suspended above a void.
The path was built using sand and cement, and held in place by metal brackets. A simple iron railing was put in place along this decidedly non-frills path.
The name was changed to Camino del Rey when King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the power stations in May 1921. He walked along the Caminito from the El Chorro pantano (previously known as the Conde de Guadalhorce). A walk that so impressed him that a plaque was erected in recognition of Benjumea and forever celebrates this most momentous day.
There are numerous rural myths surrounding the path. Some have been verified, others remain mere folklore. It's said that a young and beautiful English woman threw herself to her death from the Balconcillo. The exceptionally beautiful, blonde-haired woman is said to have ridden her white horse along the Camino before launching herself off the bridge.
El Camino del Rey: the nitty-gritty
There's no doubt about it, walking the Caminito is dangerous. With a capital D. People who tell you differently are just plain wrong or maybe friends who are actually enemies.
The path's in a bad way and continues to deteriorate. There are huge sections that have fallen away and hundreds of little potholes. The safety wire is thin and of dubious strength. An Italian climber fell in March 2013 after the wire snapped.
In saying that, walking the Camino is a buzz. A big one.
- Be prepared, use the appropriate equipment and, if necessary, a professional guide
- Don't walk the Camino alone
- Avoid the walk when it's been raining. Bear in mind that the marriage of sand and concrete is over a century old and does crumble
- If walking in a group, spread yourselves out. Too much weight in one place is not a good idea
- Rope up. When crossing over the more exposed sections, it's a good idea to rope yourself in as well.
- Bring at least 60m of rope with you if abseiling down at the end
- Tread lightly. Most of the accidents have been caused by human error with people jumping, hanging off the safety wire and just generally messing around
- Treat the Camino with respect. Your life depends on it. Literally.

Literature & Medicine
A reading and discussion program for health care professionals.
Meghan Reedy
Program Officer
(207) 773-5051
Literature & Medicine
Humanities at the Heart of Healthcare
Encouraging health care professionals to connect the worlds of science and lived experience, giving them the opportunity to reflect on their professional roles and relationships through reading plays, short stories, poetry, fiction and personal narratives and share those reflections with colleagues.
Literature & Medicine is the only national program that engages a cross-section of experienced health care professionals with the humanities. Program participants work in all aspects of patient care and include nurses, physicians, support and allied staff, administrators, clergy, social workers, and therapists in hospital, home health, hospice, and public health settings. The program is an innovative and cost-effective way to improve patient care while contributing to participants' job satisfaction. Increased respect among colleagues in different disciplines and job descriptions builds community within an institution and helps ease feelings of futility and isolation. As one participant wrote, "It feels wonderful to come back to why I was attracted to medicine in the beginning and to share dialogue with others who care." In the words of another, "This program brings joy to my work."
"This helped foster communication across the hierarchy of medical culture, which was great and much needed."
"The book group was an excellent opportunity to come together as a staff
and talk about issues of concern that we don't often get an opportunity
during school-sponsored workshops to discuss."
"I found myself feeling better connected to the day to day issues
affecting the many young people I have had the good fortune to teach."
"I am amazed by how differently we read these books. It makes me wonder how differently we hear our patients' stories. And how our patients perceive us."
"I now think about what people are feeling when they approach my desk, and I am more conscious of the fact that I am the first person they speak to when they come to the hospital."
"I always knew my role [as a nurse] was valuable, but I think I more fully understand how far-reaching that can be. I have learned how important it is to listen to each individual, to hear what their need is and also to hear the needs of the extended family."
"Our staff is often without opportunities to have deep, professional
discussions outside of our departments. This is such a shame. This
experience was a chance to know and share time with colleagues who I don't
often see or spend time with. There is one colleague who I have had some
trouble with... we have very different outlooks. I have come to understand
a bit more about where she is coming from, which has encouraged me to seek
her out on a couple of occasions to check in informally. I have felt
better about this relationship, and I believe that the exposure through
this group has been what has sparked a change."
"The program helps me reaffirm the need to attempt to bring a supportive healing attitude to my work area."
"I joined this group due to burnout. Burnout is not about waiting until you feel like you can't do your job—it's constantly asking yourself what you are doing and feeling and helping prevent burnout from occurring by paying attention every day, not waiting until too late."

What are the attributes of highly successful entrepreneurs? Let's take a look.
They know how to tolerate risk. There is not getting around it: Starting and managing your own business involves some degree of risk. The most successful entrepreneurs can tolerate that risk and know how to manage their fears. "It all boils down to being able to successfully manage fear," explained Michael Sherrod, entrepreneur-in-residence at the Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University. "Fear of humiliation, fear of missing payroll, running out of cash, bankruptcy, the list goes on." Successful entrepreneurs know how to tolerate risk and can face their fears. They recognize that they aren't totally powerless — they do have some control over the outcome of their own personal situation.
They produce first and consume second. Highly successful entrepreneurs are producers before consumers. They are focused on building something bigger. "Applied, this means instead of buying products on TV, sell products. Instead of digging for gold, sell shovels. Instead of taking a class, offer a class. Instead of borrowing money, lend it. Instead of taking a job, hire for jobs. Instead of taking a mortgage, hold a mortgage," explained entrepreneurial expert MJ Demarco. "Break free from consumption, switch sides, and reorient to the world as producer. To consume richly, produce richly first. Unfortunately, most people have it backward: consumption and no production. Producers get rich. Consumers get poor."
They are flexible. When it comes to the business world, it is all about survival of the fittest. And by fittest we mean the most flexible. Entrepreneurs need to know how to alter their plans to changing market conditions and consumers' wants and needs in order to be successful.
They are tenacious. "Tenacity is No. 1," insisted Mike Colwell, who runs Plains Angels, an Iowa angel investor forum, as well as the accelerator Business Innovation Zone for the Greater Des Moines Partnership. "So much of entrepreneurship is dealing with repeated failure. It happens many times each week." Good entrepreneurs aren't afraid of failure, and they know how to push through and persevere when something doesn't quite go according to plan.
They are always focused on continually learning. Successful entrepreneurs are always finding opportunities to learn. Whether they are taking classes to improve their knowledge or working to master a particular skill, entrepreneurs recognize that learning is a lifelong process and are always finding new ways to improve themselves and their skillset in order to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. At the end of the day, all successful entrepreneurs are good at sticking it out.
They are passionate about what they do. Entrepreneurs have the energy to do what they do, because they love doing it! They are passionate about their business and about building something greater than themselves. This passion is the driving force behind entrepreneurial success.

Cherry season is almost over – sniff, sniff – so now is the time for all good chocolatiers to honor this exquisite superfruit. Cherries come in sweet and sour varieties, including Bing, Morello, and Schmidt among many others. Historians suspect they are originally from China and first cultivated in Turkey by the Romans in the 1st century. They later captured the adoration of the Chinese brush painters; their blossoms became a national cultural symbol of Japan and many cities (notably Kyoto, Washington DC and Vancouver) incorporate them into their landscape and organize festivals around them.
Sweet or tart to create a cherry compote for your chocolate confection? Given that tart cherries are naturally bittersweet (like you-know-what), opt for deep, dark red Morellos or Montmorency, pit 'em, give them a rough chop and boil them in 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup with a pinch of salt and a splash of brandy for 5 minutes or so. While they cool, make a thin shortbread crust, baked very soft. A simple sugar cookie recipe or pate sucre will do – just roll it out to 1/4″ on a sheet pan and bake just until light brown on the edges. Next, make a milk chocolate ganache (1 cup melted milk chocolate, 3/4 cup hot cream, a little black pepper; pulse them in the food processor for about 10 seconds). Put a 1/2″ layer of ganache over the shortbread, then a thin layer of the cherry compote. Push the cherries into the chocolate ganache so they will stay put. Allow it to set, then slice into 1″ squares or circles and enrobe them in dark, 72% chocolate. Top with pink chocolate plastique cherry blossoms. If this all sounds tasty but too much work, visit my on-line store at www.happychocolates.com and I'll send you a batch. Pssst. Either way, buy cherries now and freeze them! You'll thank me in September.

Photographer Finds The Same People He Shot 30 Years Ago And Recreates Their Photos
Back in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s British photographer Chris Porsz was constantly wandering around the city of Peterborough with his camera in hand, snapping hundreds of street portraits. Now, almost 40 years later, he's recreating the very same portraits for which he's tracked down the same people and even the same locations.
135 remakes in total feature the widest variety of people, from punks to romantic couples saying their goodbyes. His photo series is a unique retrospective not only of the lives of his photo subjects but also the evolution of city life during those four decades.
You can buy Porsz's book "Reunions" through his website.

This weekend we went to Carlow to visit Donnacha's parents. It was a nice relaxing couple of days, we watched some movies, had dinner with his relations and had a look around the new premises of their business which they have just finished renovating. We managed to get an outfit photo shoot done too in the garden today while it was sunny. It was nice to get away for a little while and forget about all my troubles.
This is Donnacha's dog Snapper. He's so funny!
I got this scarf in a charity shop in Capel Street on Monday when Holly and I went looking for something for her to wear to a job interview
I got this blouse in work last week, I love all the little detail on the chest
I noticed this wasp shadow on my arm in one of the dud photos and then when I looked at it more closely I saw the wasp too.
It kind of looks like I have a wasp tattoo
How was your weekend? I can't believe it's already October!!! I'll leave you with some Peter Gabriel, I grew up listening to my Dad play his stuff and I am now a huge fan. I finally got to see him play in Dubln a few years ago.

Test out [Crafty's Ultra-Advanced Proto-Typical Shortening Blaster] on 5 Magmoth Crushers or Mates of Magmothregar. After you have done so, return to her at Fizzcrank Airstrip.
- Crafty's Blaster Tested (5)
That'll do her, chief! So, here's what I want ya to do....
Take my blaster and head north to Magmoth. If we're gonna have a chance at all against those monsters, we need to cut them down to size... so to speak.
In order to gauge its effectiveness, I need you to slay the magnataur while the blaster's effects are still on it. Any of the crushers or mates will do, but don't bother with the offspring... they're too small to worry about.
You sure that you tested the blaster on enough of those monstrous beasts?
Whadya mean it didn't work?!
But... but...
<Crafty begins to sob.>
Okay, we can deal with this. I'm a big girl. Time to think outside the box!

Instagram is full of random, weird and strange beauty hacks and trends. From the fabulous to the really weird.
The internet is also full of them and you see them shared around Facebook.
So I am going to do the top 10 weirdest and strangest beauty trends and hacks going.
Hangover Makeup
Yes, this is a real thing! I first saw this circulating around Instagram, many were showing off their 'hungover' or 'just woken' selfies with smeared lipstick, mascara running down face.
Basically, when you make up after a bad night out and feel rough as anything.
This never caught on, thankfully.
Armpit Hairdye
I am all for embracing the 'can't be bothered shaving' look, I just wear something that covers my armpits.
But another trend was dying the armpit hair vibrant colours. From red to blue, they were all colours of the rainbow and more.
Another trend that really never caught on.
Vibrantly Dyed Eyebrows
Following on from coloured armpit hair, people were dying their brows a multitude of colours.
Having the same hair colour, that is pretty cool. But blue brows and brown hair?
Just had me constantly asking why? Why, why why?
Vampire Facials
Okay I never really got this, having needles rolled along your skin and blood massaged everywhere.
I never really saw any benefit to it, apart from maybe having a scabby face for a while.
I thought it was a bit unhygienic and rather gross.
But whatever floats your boat hey? This trend is still on going, thanks to many stars having it done and photographing on Instagram.
Anal Bleaching
I never knew why people did this for a cosmetic reason. I mean, who cares what colour it is?
Who even looks?
It was something that always baffled me, but hey if it makes you happy.
Should you want to consider it, feel free to check out this anal bleaching guide.
Dryer Sheets On Hair
Apparently rubbing a tumble dryer sheet on your hair will stop flyaway hairs.
I am not sure why this would work, I would assume would be the opposite effect with the fabric making a static charge.
But f it works, cool? At least your hair will smell fresh.
Longer Lashes Hacks
Now, this got me. Recently I have seen many variations to make lashes thicker and longer.
Usually it is vaseline, then can use baby powder or finishing powder then your mascara after.
I did try this and it ruined my beloved mascara. My lashes looked clumpy and like spider legs.
Another was a coat of mascara, then baby powder, then another coat of mascara.
This didn't really work either, just had clumpy lashes again.
Use it with an old mascara, don't ruin a good one.
Vajazzle has been doing the rounds for years now, I never understood this either.
I mean, who really is going to see down there other than your other half?
Can you imagine, stray diamante's everywhere? No, just… no haha!
Coca Cola or Beer Hair
Washing hair with coca cola or beer has been floating around for a while now.
I have used beer products a few years ago and my hair was amazing.
But to pour actual beer or coca cola all over? Can just imagine it will be really sticky and messy.
This is not one for me.
Orange/Red Lipstick Under Eyes
Now this one I tried several times. I have terrible dark circles and I saw on Instagram and Pintrest to use red or orange lipstick under eyes then blend, cover with concealer.
I tried this and my eyes were awful, they were red, stained or could not cover.
I did use a salmon pink eyeshadow lightly and this colour corrected, but lipstick? No, too pigmented.
Have you come across any weird or strange beauty hacks or trends?

When printing to a Zebra Barcode printer a label that is using a CSV file containing say 20 records. When you go to print it only prints one label, unless you manually set the number of labels to print manually. In the videos I see you click the icon next to the quantities field however this does not seem to work for me , Is there anyway around this ?

Re: Avoiding manually having to set Number of Labels in Prin
That icon works for sheets only, it just fill up the sheet of labels. I'm afraid this won't work for Zebra since its "sheet" always contain a single label.

Some of you may remember Lysergene from when Night Tracks was just a fledgling music blog, and we got in touch with him for our just our second interview ever. Well, aside from a few free tunes, the Birmingham-based producer has been quiet since then, so it was with joy I received the new release by Phantom Hertz Recordings, "Low Volume 22", produced by Lysergene.
If you've heard his releases on Area Recordings, then you'll have some idea of what to expect. Dark, dynamic music, with plenty of pressure. Opener 'Agra' brings an atmospheric and tense start to the EP, a moment of eerie calm before the weight of the drop, where Lysergene eschews the static, standard "dungeon" bass for bass that shifts and warps, never standing still for a moment, which sets the tone for the rest of the EP, before you reach the closing track "Hammer Fall" which transcends dubstep and becomes the deepest, most immersive soundscape you'll have heard for a while.
Pre-order the release on Digital Tunes now.

A few days ago, the Transnistrian station TSV presented a report about a new crisis in Transnistria - the fuel one. According to the report of this TV station Sherriff fuel stations of the region no longer sold diesel, while the petrol reserve was enough only for a few days. Moldova and Ukraine were accused of this "crisis", as these countries would have blocked the transport of fuel in Transnistria.
Regarding this issue the web site deschide.md writes that the crisis would be an artificial one, because the data of the region's customs service contradicts the information provided by Sheriff Group and the Transnistrian executive body. Thus, on 19th July, 2016 the State Customs Committee of Transnistria issued a statement in which it presented several data, which deny the existence of an oil crisis in the Transnistrian region.
According to the source, on July 21 there was held an extraordinary meeting of the representatives of customs services of Moldova and the Transnistrian side on the resumption of imports of fuels from the direction of Ukraine and Belarus. The Transnistrian side stated that the meeting had taken place at their initiative and that Chisinau would have submitted certain conditions for the resumption of oil imports, according to which the Transnistrian importers will receive permits allowing the import of petroleum products on the Transnistrian segment of the Moldovan-Ukrainian border. The agreements reached by the two sides are to be reviewed.
Sources at the Ukrainian Embassy in Moldova told deschide.md that the alleged fuel crisis is in favor of Sheriff, who is preparing for the presidential elections of the unrecognized republic and the official position of Kiev is forthcoming.
The Speaker of the Moldovan Parliament, Andrian Candu, said yesterday that neither Moldova nor Ukraine has blocked oil transportation in Transnistria.
The same was confirmed to deschide.md by the First Deputy Minister for Reintegration, Gheorghe Balan, who noted that the information about a possible fuel crisis in Transnistria are speculations.

A few weeks ago I spent the morning chatting with my coworkers about all the yummy things I've been cooking with chickpea flour. Later that same day, a galley for a new book landed on my desk: Chickpea Flour Does It All by Lindsey Love.
It was a sign. Time to make my love for chickpea flour public.
But first, I flipped through Lindsey's book. After just a few pages, I realized her experiments with chickpea flour far surpassed mine. So I sent her a note, grabbed her on the phone, and gleaned every bit of intel I could—some of which (hey, I can't reveal all her secrets) are below.
It's a "power flour"
Chickpea flour is one of the most nutrient-packed gluten-free flours available. Traditionally made by grinding raw chickpeas, it's full of healthy protein, fiber, vitamins, and more. "Chickpea flour is a unique flour, in that the nutritional benefits, versatility, taste, and texture it lends to gluten-free cooking is rare when compared to other flours," Lindsey said. In her book (out in April), she proves it, comparing the nutritional stats for chickpea flour against white rice flour and whole wheat. Surprise (or not): chickpea wins on all fronts.
It's Got Serious Binding Power
One of the constant struggles of gluten-free baking is texture. Without gluten, things don't bind together well, and GF bakers like myself are left scrambling for other ways to get consistent textures. But chickpea flour, Lindsey explains, "is a naturally dense flour, and because of that denseness, and its innate binding tendencies, chickpea flour lends baked goods a sturdy yet tender texture when mixed with other gluten-free flours. So, for quick breads, muffins, and cakes, it holds up extremely well."
Personally, I love to use chickpea flour to bind any kind of fritter—carrot, squash, shrimp, and more. Swap it in for wheat flour in almost any fritter recipe and it'll work wonderfully—and lend a nice savory note to boot.
It's an International All-Star
Though just recently gaining popularity as a pantry staple in the States, chickpea flour—also known as gram flour, garbanzo bean flour, or besan—has been used in parts of Asia and Europe for centuries. Perhaps the best known uses come from Italy and France where it's fried and roasted into a variety of snacks and breads. In Southern France chickpea flour is cooked like polenta, cooled, sliced into logs, then fried for the addictive snack known as panisse. In Italy, they do the same thing and call it panelle. The other way it's commonly made is as a big (traditionally wood-oven-roasted) unleavened pancake known as farinata in Italy and socca in France, where it's often cut into wedges and served alongside salad or as a snack all on its own.
It Makes a perfect 2-ingredient gluten-free wrap
This is the true focus of my chickpea flour obsession right now: I whisk together 1 cup chickpea flour and a pinch of salt with about 3/4 cup warm water (adding a little more water if needed) until it's the consistency of loose pancake batter. Then I simply cook it like I would a crêpe. (It's sort of like socca or farinata but easier and quicker to make.) Sometimes I whisk in a bit of yogurt or add an egg to the mix, but really chickpea flour and water is all that's needed to make soft, flexible, deliciously nutty and earthy savory wraps. I keep a jar of this mixture in my fridge so I can make a thin pancake on the fly whenever I need a snack (or a meal that'd be better with something like bread or tortillas). I love to eat sautéed greens or mushrooms with a chickpea wrap, or scrambled eggs and avocado. And sometimes I pretend they actually are crêpes, and eat them folded around butter and jam or cheese and ham.
