Almond Brittle
1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, salt and butter in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cover pan for 1 minute to allow the steam to wash down the sugar crystals that cling to side of pan, or wipe down the crystals with a damp cloth.
2. Uncover pan; insert candy thermometer. Cook without stirring until candy thermometer reaches 270 degrees F (soft crack stage, where syrup, when dropped into very cold water, separates into hard but not brittle threads).
3. Remove form heat; stir in almonds; return to heat. Continue cooking until candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F (hard crack stage, where syrup, when dropped into very cold water, separates into thread that are hard and brittle).
4. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Let foaming syrup settle just a bit, the quickly pour out onto a well-buttered large cookie sheet, and stretch out as thin as possible with the aid of two forks. Cool completely, then break in pieces. Store 2 to 3 weeks in tightly covered containers, separating the layers with foil or plastic wrap.

CAMBRIDGE, Md. -- The lone dark cloud remaining from Thursday's suspension was Friday's final outcome of the Maryland Senior State Tournament losers' bracket final.
Maugansville fell to Elkton 18-8, officially suffering elimination.
Elkton held a 17-7 lead in the top of the fifth inning when rain forced suspension on Thursday.
When play resumed Friday, Maugansville added a run on an RBI single by Troy Carbaugh. Elkton scored in the bottom of the fifth to close out the run-rule win in five innings.
Maugansville had nine hits in the game, including a homer from Dylan Dopson, who also had two RBIs along with Trevor Shuck.
Maugansville played Elkton even after surrendering 10 unearned runs in the first inning on six errors.
"It was just too much of a deficit to overcome," said manager Dan Dopson. "The kids had a great run this year."

Mumbai: An ocean of humanity admires Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and hails him for his magnanimity. He is not just an actor but an artist who can inspire millions across all age groups. He has been successful enough in striking an emotional deal with his fans who swear by his name. Such is his aura.
At 50, Salman is arguably the most eligible bachelor in the country.
Despite constant speculations about his "impending marriage", the actor has categorically denied having plans of tying the nuptial knot.
However, his fans will certainly love to see him getting married someday.
In this post, let us take a look at some of the reasons why we feel Salman Khan should marry:
- Salman's contemporaries - Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan - have been married for many years now. Wouldn't it be great to see the hunk joining them in the "married men" league?
- The 'Dabangg' superstar has had a glorious time at the Box Office since 'Wanted' released in 2009. Wouldn't it be nice to see Lady Luck adding to his glory?
- His mammoth fanbase hails him as 'Being Human'. How about 'Being Daddy'?
- This Bollywood Khan-Daan has always been a cohesive unit. A new member, especially if she happens to be Salman Khan's better half, will make the family photo look complete.
- Salman has had his share of agony and ecstasy. A lady by his side could probably make his journey far more enriching.
Salman Khan fans, don't you agree with us?

Software professionals may be familiar with the term "Design Patterns," but many have no idea of where they come from and what they truly are. Consequently, some do not see the value and benefits design patterns bring to the software development process, especially in the areas of maintenance and code reuse. This article will bridge this gap by defining design patterns from a historical perspective.
What is design Patterns:
A design pattern can solve many problems by providing a framework for building an application. Design patterns, which make the design process cleaner and more efficient, are especially well-suited for use in C# development because it is an object-oriented language. So design patterns are recurring solutions to software design problems you find again and again in real-world application development.
Benefits of Design Patterns
Design patterns have two major benefits. First, they provide you with a way to solve issues related to software development using a proven solution. The solution facilitates the development of highly cohesive modules with minimal coupling. They isolate the variability that may exist in the system requirements, making the overall system easier to understand and maintain. Second, design patterns make communication between designers more efficient. Software professionals can immediately picture the high-level design in their heads when they refer the name of the pattern used to solve a particular issue when discussing system design.
Core Categories Of DP
Just for info ,other than the main core category we have many design patterns like Concurrency pattern,Process pattern
Creational Design Patterns: The patterns in this category deal with object creation mechanisms by trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation.
For example, you want to create an object creation delayed at runtime instead of compile time, or you want a system to have only one object can exist of a class.
Creational Patterns
√ Abstract Factory:- Creates an instance of several families of classes
√ Builder :- Separates object construction from its representation
√ Factory Method:- Creates an instance of several derived classes
√ Prototype:- A fully initialized instance to be copied or cloned
√ Singleton:- A class in which only a single instance can exist
Structural Design patterns: The pattern in this category provide solutions to the problems dealing with the composition of objects
For example, Assume you want to bring different incompatible interface together or want to bring unified interface together
Structural Patterns
√ Adapter:-Match interfaces of different classes.
√ Bridge:-Separates an object's interface from its implementation.
√ Composite:-A tree structure of simple and composite objects.
√ Decorator :-Add responsibilities to objects dynamically.
√ Façade:-A single class that represents an entire subsystem.
√ Flyweight:-A fine-grained instance used for efficient sharing.
√ Proxy:-An object representing another object.
Behavioral Patterns: The pattern in this category provide solutions to the problems dealing with the way object interact with each other. These patterns help to increase the flexibility in establishing the communication among various system objects.
Example ,you want to change an object behavior when its internal state changes.
Behavioral Patterns
√ Mediator:-Defines simplified communication between classes.
√ Memento:-Capture and restore an object's internal state.
√ Interpreter:-A way to include language elements in a program.
√ Iterator:-Sequentially access the elements of a collection.
√ Chain of Resp:-A way of passing a request between a chain of objects.
√ Command:-Encapsulate a command request as an object.
√ State:-Alter an object's behavior when its state changes.
√ Strategy:-Encapsulates an algorithm inside a class.
√ Observer:-A way of notifying change to a number of classes.
√ Template Method:-Defer the exact steps of an algorithm to a subclass.
√ Visitor:-Defines a new operation to a class without change.
Before starting the UML Diagram of a design pattern,I would like to explain a simple class diagram to understand the different UML notation and relationship.
First observe the diagram
UML class notation is a rectangle divided into three parts: class name, attributes, and operations. Names of abstract classes, such as Payment, are in italics. Relationships between classes are the connecting links.
Our class diagram has three kinds of relationships.
a)association -- a relationship between instances of the two classes. There is an association between two classes if an instance of one class must know about the other in order to perform its work. In a diagram, an association is a link connecting two classes.
b)aggregation -- an aggregation in which one class belongs to a collection. An aggregation has a diamond end pointing to the part containing the whole. In our diagram, Order has a collection of OrderDetails.
c)generalization -- an inheritance link indicating one class is a superclass of the other. A generalization has a triangle pointing to the superclass. Payment is a superclass of Cash, Check, and Credit.
An association has two ends. An end may have a role name to clarify the nature of the association. For example, an OrderDetail is a line item of each Order.
A navigability arrow on an association shows which direction the association can be traversed or queried. An OrderDetail can be queried about its Item, but not the other way around. The arrow also lets you know who "owns" the association's implementation; in this case, OrderDetail has an Item. Associations with no navigability arrows are bi-directional.
The multiplicity of an association end is the number of possible instances of the class associated with a single instance of the other end. Multiplicities are single numbers or ranges of numbers. In our example, there can be only one Customer for each Order, but a Customer can have any number of Orders.
This table gives the most common multiplicities.
0..1 =zero or one instance. The notation n . . m indicates n to m instances.
0..* or * =no limit on the number of instances (including none).
1 =exactly one instance
1..*= at least one instance
Every class diagram has classes, associations, and multiplicities. Navigability and roles are optional.
Lets firts describe a Factory Pattern.
Factory Pattern
Its Creates an instance of several derived classes.
"Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses." -- "Design Patterns" Gamma et al., Addison-Wesley, ISBN:0-201-63361-2"
The following is an UML representation of the Factory Method Pattern. In this case we are not directly creating an instance of the class Derived1 and Derived2. Instead we are using the getObject() method of the Factory class to return an appropriate instance depending on the value passed to the getObject() method. This method is commonly knows as the Factory method and Factory method can be either static or non-static in nature.
In Factory method pattern, A Factory class contains a factory method is used for creating the object. This factory method can be either static or non-static.
Client class needn't know about instance creation.
Abstract Factory:It "Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes" -- "Design Patterns" Gamma et al., Addison-Wesley, ISBN:0-201-63361-2"
Builder Pattern:Builder is an object creational design pattern that codifies the construction process outside of the actual steps that carries out the construction - thus allowing the construction process itself to be reused.
Singleton pattern:A class in which only a single instance can exist.
The purpose of a singleton pattern is to ensure a unique instance of the class and to provide global access to this.
It maintain the unique instance throughout the life of the program(s) in which this class is created.
The logic of the CreateInstance method is pretty straightforward. Check, if any instance has already been created, if yes, return the instance, else create and store the instance and return it. It is obvious here again, storing the instance has to be done in a private static variable, static because, you are doing this in a static method, private because, you need to do the maintenance of the singleton instance creation.
Adapter Class:During object-oriented developments, some times we have to use an unrelated class along with our existing class hierarchy. The simplest solution is to make a wrapper or adaptor around the foreign class, which is acceptable by the existing class hierarchy. This is what known as the ADAPTOR PATTERN or WRAPPER PATTERN.
Lets take a non-software Example
Socket wrenches provide an example of the Adapter. A socket attaches to a ratchet, provided that the size of the drive is the same. Typical drive sizes in the United States are 1/2" and 1/4". Obviously, a 1/2" drive ratchet will not fit into a 1/4" drive socket unless an adapter is used. A 1/2" to 1/4" adapter has a 1/2" female connection to fit on the 1/2" drive ratchet, and a 1/4" male connection to fit in the 1/4" drive socket. [Michael Duell, "Non-software examples of software design patterns", Object Magazine, Jul 97, p54]
Let us see the following class hierarchy.
How we can fit a foreign class or interface say ADAPTEE to this class hierarchy. It is possible by introducing an ADAPTOR class as shown below.
In the above case the ADAPTOR class inherits from both BASE CLASS & ADAPTEE class. This type of mechanism based on the multiple inheritances is known as class adaptors. Remember that this may be introducing the violation of Open Closed Principle (OCP) or Lisknov's Substitution Principle (LSP). But if we are using class adaptors, better to use a private inheritance with respect to the ADAPTEE class.
The Open Closed Principle states that classes should be open for extension but closed for modification. Or to say it another way, it should be possible to add new features and capabilities to your codebase simply by creating new classes, rather than having to mess with the internals of existing classes.
Likov's Substitution Principle states that if a program module is using a Base class, then the reference to the Base class can be replaced with a Derived class without affecting the functionality of the program module.
Instead of inheriting from the ADAPTEE class, the ADAPTOR class can contain an instance of ADAPTEE class and use that instance. This mechanism employs the object adaptors. The UML representation of Object adaptor is shown below.
In class adaptor, it is possible to override some of the behaviors of the ADAPTEE class in ADAPTOR class. But class adaptor will not work when we want to adapt ADAPTEE class and all its derived classes.
But an object adaptor can work with the ADAPTEE class and all its subclasses.

There are too many "crape hangers" in Ulster, especially in relation to our economic problems, said Mr Brian Faulkner, Minister of Home Affairs, when he spoke at a meeting of East Down Unionist Association at Dunsfort on Saturday night [August 6].
Mr Faulkner said that self-criticism was good for any community and, when it was constructive, was a positive help to all who shouldered the public responsibility. But criticism for its own sake could be carried too far. It could produce an outlook which easily substantiated criticism for both mental and physical hard work, he said.
"Some of the people who moan about our economic problems do so, of course, for political reasons," said Mr Faulkner.
"Unionists should be far more active about replying to such people, for Ulster has a success story of which any country would be proud. Quite obviously, it is the envy of our neighbours in the Republic.
"The total trade of Northern Ireland last year was £621,679,000. In the same period the total trade of Eire was £329,123,000. There, in concrete form, is a ready comparison of the health of the two economies.
"The total trade of Northern Ireland works out at about £410 per head of the population, compared with £110 in Eire," Mr Faulkner went on.
"Is it any wonder that the Dublin Government wants to break into our economy? Is it any wonder that they are anxious for economic co-operation between North and South? Is it any wonder that their politicians are quite prepared to admit that the aim of all economic co-operation is political unity?
"Of course not, because political unity offers Eire the attractive possibility of sharing in our high standard of living."

Mud to Lotus: The How-to of Transformation
Here in the eastern Quebec we're entering into the muddy season.
Out of the mud, grows the lotus.
It is a traditional and familiar image. The journey that the yogi undertakes is like the blossoming of the lotus flower.
Depending on our inclination, we might use yoga as a way to rise above the muck mud of everyday life.
Or, we might seek to elevate our mundane experiences to the realm of the sacred. Just as the lotus takes its nourishment from the muddy waters to blossom into something beautiful and perfect, we too may use the mud of everyday life, including our physicality, as fuel for transformation.
In both approaches, the goal is the same: to cultivate a vision and experience of transcendence that recognizes the essential sacredness within us and within all things.
The big question is: How does this happen? By what means does this transformation from mud to blossom occur? What is the secret of this shift that allows us to transmute our muddy lives into something transcendent and perfect?
One way of looking at the path of yoga is as a set of tools and understandings to move us through this transformation. The teachings and practices of the tradition offer us perspectives and ways to assimilate, digest, and transform our ordinary, muddy existence into something beautiful and extraordinary.

The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers by Robert Martin -- a summary
Week 38 of 2017, 9th post of the 4th year (May 2017 - May 2018)
Here is a summary from another book about the career aspect of programming. The post does not have any watery stuff, I tried to write down just the key ideas, pure and concentrated.
- use TDD
In almost every book I read, the authors either advice to use TDD or talk about it a lot
- Saying no to false hopes is professional
It means when a manager asks you when you're gonna finish something and you know you can't do it in time
- Estimate is not a number but rather a distortion
- It's best to give estimates based on calculations of probabilities
- Have three estimates - the normal one, the worst case and the best case
Estimating is hard, it sounds like a good piece of advice
- Programming has lots of situations with overworking
- Overworking is not productive
- Do not refuse to help people fresh prospective helps
- An idea of kata - an etude for programmers
This one is probably the most interesting advice from the book. The kata is, basically, just some programming exercise that you should do to warm yourself up a bit for more serious job. You should master it and do it as fast as you can.
I, actually, never thought as anything like that. I personally don't know if I'd like to try it out or to adopt it, because, in my opinion, since there's plenty of code a one has to write every day, there's no need in some training exercise to warm yourself up.
You should just do it by working.
- Write katas together with other programmers
- It's not your employees responsibility to pay for you to sharpen the skills, you should do it in your free time
- Write acceptance tests
- Unit tests are the lowest written for programmers, acceptance tests are written to explain how the system would behave and are for the business
- If a business meeting gets boring it's better to try to leave without being rude
- If there's an argument and if it's not possible to resolve it within a short period of time, then you shouldn't waste the time arguing and you should go get some data to find out the right thing. If it's not possible, you should toss a coin to resolve it
- Do some physical activity to reset your brain for writing software
- Also it's good to do a meeting to ask every team member about it to get better perspective
- Avoid the stress by managing commitments, writing clean code and staying calm
- Deal with stress by staying calm, following your discipline, communicating and getting help
- Programming is about working with others
- Schools don't teach how to be a good programmer, ideally, it's achievable with mentorship

R+T Asia is an annual international trade show focusing on the business-to-business market for roller shutters, doors/gates, windows, and sun protection systems. Shanghai's New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) will again host the event on March 20-22, 2018. This is a great opportunity to attend seminars and events on the latest trends and developments in the Asia Pacific region and globally.
Last year, exhibitor satisfaction of the quality of visitors was remarkably high, as the number of international decision-makers also increased. The 2018 show is set to be the biggest one yet, with over 500 exhibitors expected from all over the world, occupying more than 50,000 square meters of exhibition space.
Many attendees come to R+T conferences to learn, meet with business partners, and meet industry leaders. These educational opportunitiesserve as a perfect interaction between the two markets; where East meets West.
Concurrent events, such as the Cadex International Architecture & Design Show, the InnovAction awards, the International Window and Door Summit, and the special Materia exhibition, increase the profile of the show. These events attract many retailers, mass distributors, and manufacturers. In addition to these primary visitors, a growing number of architects and interior designers are also attending the show to get insights on all the new trends and products.
Do not miss R+T Asia 2018!
Significant Asia
Asia, home to some of the most powerful markets, has experienced tremendous economic growth in recent years. This is mainly due to the region's massive population, its resources, its strategic location, and its expanding infrastructure. Due to its aggressive growth, the Asia-Pacific region will account for two-thirds of the world's middle class by 2030.
Strategically placed Shanghai is currently seen as the hottest and most vibrant market in the world, moving fast and focused on economic quality.
Many Western producers of sun protection systems, roller shutters, and entry and garage doors believe that there is no space for their products in China, which is seen as "the world's largest factory." However, as the number of urban middle-class customers grows, so does their purchasing capacity and their interest in quality products.
R +T Asia itself is widely regarded as the best purchasing platform in the Asia Pacific region because it provides abundant opportunities for effective networking and information sharing.
R+T Asia's Hosted Buyer program returns again this year as a special service for the elite of the industry. This is a great opportunity for buyers because it saves a great deal of time, facilitates face-to-face meetings with suppliers, and enhances your international purchasing negotiations.
Hosted Buyers receive complimentary hotel accommodations, prescheduled meetings with desired exhibitors, and VIP access to the fair.
To become selected as a Hosted Buyer, you must apply directly. More information regarding terms and conditions of the program can be found at show's website: http://rtasia.org

Indiana RadioWatch: July 31, 2017
When Club 1915, Inc. built and put Religious/WRRO (89.9fm, Edon, Ohio) on the air in 2012, WRRO had its antenna pointed southwest towards Indiana. Last year, Club 1915, Inc. sold WRRO for $5,000 to Our Lady of Guadalupe Radio. Our Lady of Guadalupe Radio recently filed an FCC application to increase WRRO's power from 1,400 watts to 15,000 watts, and increase the antenna height about two feet, with a directional pattern to the east. WRRO's tower sits near OH-49, on the south side of Edon.
The FCC denies an Indiana Community Radio Corp. application for WCNB (91.5fm, Dayton). The WCNB application proposed a tower move to just west of the Frankfort Municipal Airport, and a power increase to 5,000 watts. The FCC says that proposed move would have caused a 60 dBu protected contour overlap of both Moody Radio's Religious/WIWC (91.7fm, Kokomo) and Fountain Warren Community Radio's Variety/WFWR (91.5fm, Attica).
An antenna problem darkened both Nexstar NBC affiliate WTWO-TV (Channel 2, Terre Haute) and Mission Broadcasting ABC affiliate WAWV (Channel 38, Terre Haute) on Tuesday evening (07/25). Both NBC and ABC affiliates returned to the air, but their subchannels (Laff, Escape, Grit, Bounce) haven't yet returned to the air.
This Week in Indiana Radio History
Sign-on dates seem to be a prickly matter, subject to great debate, and mostly impossible to confirm. If there's something we need to add to the "calendar," please let us know. Please e-mail us if you have updated information.

Oooh, ooh! I just loved today's class! It was on techniques for embossing, and I have to say... coolness!! I have always loved embossing - just seeing that powder transform is like magic!
Today we learned a "batik" method where after you have embossed and colored and stamped, etc. (doing the resist technique for the stamping), you place a piece of absorbent paper over the embossing and iron it. The hot iron transfers the shiny embossed powder off of the surface and onto the absorbent paper. So cool!! I used that for the tag on the far right on the red butterfly. If you didn't emboss with a colored ink, as I did here with red, it would just show the color of the paper underneath! I will definitely be trying that in a Stampin' Up! workshop in the near future.
My middle tag was the rusted enamel technique, which I have tried before. I got a little crazy here (I have learned too much chemistry) and stained with Picket Fence distress stain, then dried it and flicked water on it. Not bad... kinda looks like verdigris?
My first tag was done using Distress Embossing powders--these powders have little release crystals that come off after embossing; they also have a sandpapery quality to them as well.
Can't wait for tomorrow--> Paints!!

[ Thanks to Amy Newman for this link. ]
Linux was built on the shoulders of giants. One of those giants was Dennis Ritchie, who passed away earlier this month. Ritchie is revered in the Linux community and throughout the programming world as the father of C. The impact that C has had on the modern world of IT is inestimable and simply put, it is at the root of most modern computing.

YOP: post 6
The last week of the holidays has finally caught up with me :( so I thought I'd get on with my knitting! I can't believe I'm actually working on TWO YOP-projects at the same time!
When I was browsing on Pintrest the other day I saw this:
It's Andrea's Shawl by Yarnmadness. And I think it's absolutely stunning. As in REALLY flabbergastingly stunning.
So I thought I'd have a go at making something like it, but without the pattern on the white part. This project also fits in in with the 'something stripey' on the 'themes' part of my list.
The original shawl is knit bottom-up, but I chose to knit top-down to make the most of my yardage. It's a simple garter tab cast-on, followed by a traditional triangular construction in stockinette stitch, knitting all the YO's through the back loop to avoid holes. The borders are two stitch garter stitch borders making and the dropping a YO on the side you carry the yarn on to avoid the typically problematic asymmetric degree of tightness. That's the body. So far so good.
But now the challenge. I would like to knit the border sideways, like in the inspiration photo, but I couldn't find one that I liked enough, so I decided I'd design something myself. It's my first time, so I have absolutely no idea how that process will go. Fingers crossed it turns out nice in the end.
The other project I'm still working on is my cardigan. Thanks to the people who left such positive comments on it last week! I cast on the first of the fronts and I think I'm about halfway through. Although the pattern said I'd need most of my two skeins of yarn, I think I'll finish the first front with the first one, So there's something wrong there. I'm not convinced by how the back piece turned out, but the front looks promising. I found the short-row shaping on the corner a bit bizarre , and the pattern is written in the typical jumbled DROPS style, but you get used to reading everything five times to make sure you don't forget to do anything...
2 comments:
Stunning shawl! I am nowhere near being able to design anything, so I am always super impressed with those who can--or are even willing to try. I laughed at your DROPS pattern comment as I have had the same thoughts when I look at them...."huh?" but my good friend loves them.ReplyDelete
The shawl is gorgeous! I love the stripes and I can't wait to see how it turns out. And shameful admission, I never knew you could knit YOs through the back loop to avoid holes, you learn something new every day!ReplyDelete

Small Stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff. Yea. Yeah. I should remember that. Every little thing that's so annoying gets me. Grr. I'm so mataray.
So remember the first day of classes and you have new classmates and everything? Well, I just remembered that. Hmm. I was a transferee in CSA then. This was first year. I was used to adjusting since we always moved. I got to a section called Bl. Josephine Mary, the transferees' section. Kathleen and Lesley were there, so we talked. AND! dan dan dan dan. Two girls were talking in front of me and we acquainted ourselves with each other. The girl who's so kulit is no other that Roan, my best friend of almost 3 years.

Hey guys! I'm part of an amazing Facebook group called Hobby Polish Bloggers. I have learned so much from there about lighting, social media and how to label and tag my pictures. There are always interesting and thought provoking topics that come up on a variety of subjects and it's by far one of the best groups I've found. If you're a newbie polish blogger, or are seriously considering blogging about nail polish/nail art I highly recommend checking it out. This month's theme is "Holiday, Festive or Winter themed". I actually did the perfect mani for this a little while ago, and thought this would be a great way to showcase it.
|HPB Presents Winter Nail Art
|HPB Presents Winter Nail Art
Okay, so I totally had to show you this both glossy and matte. I have never tried mattifying polish before and I've seen some really pretty matte nail art. Normally I'm 100% a glossy girl, but I think in this case, I actually really prefer this matte. Look at that glow! I don't think I'll be all "matte all the things", but in this case I really like how it turned out. I messed up my stamping a bit, but I still love the overall look. It screams "Frozen" to me, what do you think?
Products used:
Base: Nicole by OPI Poised in Turquoise
Stamping plate: BP-01 from the BornPrettyStore
Stamping Polish: Mundo de Unas White
Glossy Topcoat - Seche Vite
Matte Topcoat - NYC Matte Me Crazy

In America, old people are friendly and talkative toward strangers, but young people are closed, cliquish, judgmental and paranoid of others. In Russia though, it's the inverse. Young people are open, inclusive, warm and comfortable about meeting new people. But old people are more grumpy, closed and angry.
These clips of me hanging out with young folks I just met in Russia and Ukraine demonstrate this. Notice the instant comfort zone and camaraderie with no "ice shield" between us like there would be between strangers in America.

I had the best conversation Monday morning. One of my favorite bloggy friends gave me a call, and though we've never officially met (I stood close to her once when we were both waiting for appointments with editors/agents at a conference a couple of years ago–though I recognized her from her blog I was too shy to introduce myself. Still kicking myself.) there wasn't a pause in the conversation once. In fact, I think we could have talked for another hour. I felt just as refreshed as if we'd sat down at the kitchen table together and chatted over coffee.
This sweet visit got me to thinking about community, and how online communities have evolved. And that got me to thinking about my online community and the host of amazing folks I have met there.
Take Gordon Atkinson, for example. Gordon is one of our Founding Editors over at High Calling Blogs. I've always enjoyed reading Gordon's articles on faith–he has a matter-of-fact way of writing about vulnerability that exposes the humanity in us all. He's an excellent writer on all things God (and I'm guessing a stellar pastor–but you'll have to ask the folks at Covenant Baptist Church in San Antonio about that) but it wasn't his faith writings that captured my attentions recently.
Not too long ago, Gordon dropped a line in one of our ongoing online group conversations that made me realize the stuff he is made of.
I fell into depression in 2004 and 2005.
We're trying to get to each other better in this community, and by way of introduction, he offered those words in between a couple of lines about writing. It seemed a casual mention, almost in passing.
But they screamed to me.
In that simple statement I felt the devastation this silent epidemic can cause. As a mental health professional I understand just a little bit of the need to increase awareness about this illness.
My curiosity led me over to Gordon's blog, where I discovered a whole series of writings on living through depression. He calls it "The Depression Stuff" and you can find right here. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with this illness, you'll applaud Gordon's frankness in sharing his experience.
While you're over there, you might check into his books and other topics too.
I'll be introducing you to some other members of our community in the next couple of weeks. You know how it is…When you find something good, the first thing you want to do is share it, right? Well, I'm looking forward to sharing some interesting folks with you.
Until then, many blessings!

So, the friend I mentioned last night. Yeah, got yet another call from his creditors today. Apparently, a different one from the one who has been calling the past few months, but I'm not sure on that. If it is though...geeze. How many loans and such does he have? And on how many of them did he use me as a reference without even asking or informing me? Not that I would have said no, but it's common courtesy to ask. But no, I don't even have it mentioned to me at all until creditors start calling my personal cell phone at all hours of the day looking for him.
I'm pretty fed up with the situation. I certainly don't feel this person is a "good friend" of mine anymore, and he should stop pretending otherwise. I'm not going to cut off contact or anything; I enjoy talking to him and he's fun. It used to be more than that, but it's not now, and hasn't been in quite some time. He lies to me about important things without any hesitation. He'll keep intricate lies on top of lies going for months rather than just be honest. I clearly can't trust him at all, and who knows what else he's lied about, aside from the things I've accidentally discovered? He doesn't really let me know anything that's going on in his life, and rarely knows much about mine.
That's just not what a friend is to me. Hell, I know people I only talk to online that I can trust more than him, and who know more about me and where I am right now in my life than he does. Who ask about school, or the job hunt, or messaged me to see how I was when my dog died. Any one of these people would be considered better "friends", even though I haven't known them for as long or don't hang out with them in person.
Eh, enough of that rant. If I keep going I'll just start repeating myself, and I have more work to do this evening. I've gotten a lot done so far though, so I might be able to quit at a decent hour and get some writing in. That'd be nice; I still have yet to go back to my Nano novel. Hopefully I get to write some of it later, or at least open it and read through it (and see how horrible it is) so that I know where I'm going with the story.

text: Today is the first Wednesday of the month, which makes it IWSG time. Thanks to Alex Cavanaugh and co-hosts for putting this on each month. It's a wonderful community of writers who are also humans. We make mistakes. We're insecure. This month I'm more sad than insecure. I'll be finishing my Newstead series, which means saying good-bye to some characters who have become a major part of my life. It feels timely though, five years ago tomorrow is when I started this venture; it feels right that it should end now. Do any of you have problems with that-with saying good-bye?

Showing Explained Variance in Multilevel Models
In this post I shows a quite intuitive manner of displaying explained variance of multilevel models using line charts.
For the best of my knowledge, there is no a default plot for displaying the effect of a factor on the deviance of multilevel models; so this is going to be a tentative for showing such a statistic in my ongoing dissertation.
The following values were obtained using multilevel models performed in R (thanks for
nlme and
lme4 packages).
Basically, this chart shows the declining variance for each level when each independent parameter is included in the model. You can find the full script below the chart.

I love tutoring English to people who have another language as their mother tongue. I mean 'love' in its truest sense.
I can't help but admire the person who is making life work in a place ruled by English, while at the same time learning the very language. Conversations can be so direct with English learners. When someone uses the most explanatory words possible rather than hinting at an underlying message, there's less of a need to read between lines. An added bonus is being able to learn novel facts about places I've never been, as well as gaining new perspectives on some of the deeper matters of life.
One of my first English students was a young high school boy I tutored through Pathways to Education, during my first year of undergraduate studies. He was soft spoken and determined. He came from Pakistan, and worked in the shop his parents ran in order to help pay the bills. Not only was he dedicated to developing his own English voice, but he was also realising one for his parents, who were navigating their way through Toronto life with limited knowledge of English. For a couple of weeks I looked forward to his quiet smile, the homework he would present to me, and his carefully thought out questions.
Due to a number of shootings in the area, my friend and I, who were only 18 at the time, decided to put our safety before our volunteerism and we stopped going. Nearly a decade later I still wonder about his progress. I probably miss him more than he ever missed me, but my heart hurts a little when I think about abandoning our weekly routine so suddenly. I imagine he's fluent by now!
Years later I taught an adult English class for the first time, during the evening at a local community centre. Some students were naturally more vocal than others. One woman, who had left behind a professional career in Portugal, enlightened the class on the conditions at the chicken factory she'd worked at since moving to Toronto, told us how to make the perfect caldeirada de peixe soup, and joked about the personalities of her family members. Another woman from Vietnam was much more hesitant to speak in class. She was preparing for her Canadian citizenship test while working overtime in a restaurant. Sometimes her young English-speaking daughter would come along, join in group activities and happily help the other students.
That same year on a weekend visit home, I picked up a book that my mum, a librarian, had brought home from work: Bite of the Mango. The author Mariatu Kamara, a survivor of civil war in Sierra Leone, describes in painful detail her experience of living through war. I took the book to the class and had each of the students read however much of it they felt comfortable reading aloud. Week by week we became increasingly immersed in the small village Mariatu grew up in, and more invested in her fate. We empathised with her struggles as she lived in expectation of the worst: house raids, having to hide, fearing nightfall, and having her hands cut off by rebel soldiers. With students' instructions based on Mariatu's descriptions, I mapped out her village on the front whiteboard. We stopped to untangle complex words and ideas as they arose.
One Ugandan student related particularly deeply to the book, and brought it to life for the class. He explained his similar experiences of war, and vividly described his encounter with a leopard mother in the bush. He talked about how he stared into her eyes as she defended her young. "You want to see her before she sees you, because leopards are most active at night."
It was so satisfying to hear at the end of the day, when my students – immigrants, Permanent Resident hopefuls, and refugees, each with exhausting struggles of their own – smiled after class and said, "We couldn't be tired, because this class was so good." The feeling was mutual. When I returned to my own studies, I left the book behind. I wonder how everyone is doing. I hope they finished the story together.
"As long as I am here on this earth, I have all that I need." A mantra shared by another one of the many formidable humans I've met through English tutoring. A psychologist from Kazakhstan, she was more of a teacher to me than I to her. We met at a community art class and began meeting before the class to improve her English speaking skills. By example she taught me a sort of patience and perseverance that I didn't think I'd ever need to use myself, but that became invaluable when I moved to London to study. I have twice held my breath and my pennies waiting to hear good news about my UK visa status. She has been waiting for hers in Canada for years.
There are few feelings more fulfilling than being told by someone who you look up to that they look up to you. English as a Foreign Language students motivate me to do better. A lot of people say, "Oh, I couldn't teach English. I don't have the patience for it." Why can't I get enough of it? Maybe it's a subconscious tribute to my maternal grandmother, who despite living in Canada for half a century maintained only a minimal English vocabulary, but gave all she could to ensure that her children succeeded in both the language and the country. Maybe it's because I know how it feels to not fit in or to be treated "differently". Because I know what it's like to decipher application forms, having changed schools and jobs so many times. Or, perhaps it's because I know how it feels to be included and appreciated, and I want to pass this feeling forward. Nonetheless, as important as it is to be comfortable in another language in another country, it is just as important to be comfortable with yourself. For me – and hopefully for the multilingual individuals I've been fortunate enough to meet – language tuition achieves just that.

These long breaks between entries are not intentional. September was supposed to bring with it a return to schedule, and a moment to breathe again with the boys back in school. Somehow I just haven't found the groove yet. Supply teaching, working out at the gym, writing, working...it has just gone by in a blur.
Juliette started preschool, which gives me one morning a week to run errands without a three year old in tow. This has been the most difficult part of mothering so far: four kids who just don't do well in large spaces. My children crave the freedom to run, and that just doesn't work in a Wal-Mart, or a parking lot, or the grocery store. The first day Juliette was at preschool I must have hit a dozen stops in less than two hours. It was so stress-free I relished it. It was supposed to be my writing time (a looming deadline is fast approaching) but it was too tempting.
Speaking of writing, I'm head deep in writing a screenplay. The first draft was completed back in June, but a complete revamp is now underway. As a writer, I have a dozen new story ideas a week and I can't wait until I have some time to get some of them on paper.
Soccer is about to start up again. Colin and Caleb both had rep tryouts, and both made their teams. We really enjoyed that part of our summer last year - lazy summer nights sitting by the field, chatting with friends, the younger ones at the parks, watching the boys play their hearts out.
I'm gearing up to apply for teacher's college, starting next fall. I've had so much encouragement, from teacher friends and from teaching professionals who have seen me supply. While I don't know that I'll stay in the classroom for my whole career, this is definitely the first step.
After a decade away, I've rejoined the cell phone league. I still have trouble remembering to charge the thing and make sure I take it with me, but we've ditched the landline at home, so hopefully before long it will start to stick.
And finally, I moved our piano from the playroom into the living room. The poor think has been gathering dust because I can only play it when the children are all otherwise occupied, but that usually means they are in the playroom, which makes it difficult for me to actually sit at the piano. This year I joined a choir and we are preparing Handel's Messiah for the Christmas season, but I've been sorely missing my musical outlet as of late. Time to remedy that.

As this blog has noted over the last few months, notably a New York City Steakhouse Accused of same sex sexual harassment and The Cheesecake Factory settling a same sex harassment suit brought by the EEOC, the EEOC has released a report addressing the rise of male/male sexual harassment in the workplace. The report, released in early January, makes note that increasingly, men are coming forward with claims of harassment against fellow employees and their employers. This marks a shift away from traditional conceptions of sexual harassment, where males have traditionally harassed women in the workplace.
The EEOC's interest in this behavior is reassuring, marking a stronger push towards the rights of all workers to do their job in a harassment-free environment. It also works to de-stigmatize the idea of same sex sexual harassment, and hopefully coax more individuals into reporting this illegal behavior.

Winter essential – TRICO ice scraper kits
Published: 08 January, 2018
TRICO ice scraper kits are now available.Presented in a 24-piece counter display unit, each ice scraper comes with a serrated edge for ice removal and a rubber edge to clear excess water. The eye-catching counter top display is a great promotional tool and perfect for the winter season. The Highway Code clearly states that "windows and windscreens must be kept clean and free of obstructions to vision". During the winter months, this is particularly relevant – ice (or snow) must be cleared from all windows, as well as both the front and rear windscreen, before driving. This also applies to condensation that forms inside the car.

It is that time of the year, once again, when all across the country the wattles are in full bloom. And their magnificent blossoms against the backdrop of the green gums tells us that what else could our National colours be other than ' The Green and The Gold!'
Thanks for viewing. And hey, I don't mind being ripped into if it helps me to learn and improve. I do have very broad shoulders, metaphorically speaking, which are encapsulated with a very thick skin. So, go for it if you think I might benefit

This is a short little book that arrived today in the mail from www.lulu.com. Demonolatry Rites is, as you can guess, a book that contains rites, or rituals, from demonolatry. It is collected and edited from the lovely S. Connolly who you might recognize as the author of The Complete Book of Demonolatry. On to the review:
Positive: For such a short book it packs a punch and doesn't waste time getting to it. A two page introduction is all that is that is standing between the reader and twenty rites. I think that is worth repeating: twenty rites!
This book reveals a lot of information from many Demonolators private collections, everything from rites to the elemental Demons, creating talismans, curses, ridding yourself of previously held religious dogma to rituals to help you find love, protect your car and find lost items.
My favorite is called 'Pillars of the Sisters' and is a seven day rite to seven Demonesses. It is beautifully imaged and beautifully written.
Oh, and the book includes two Appendices that has some of the information held in other books that is great to have on hand in this one.
Neutral: There is a rite called 'To Learn Magick' that was just a tease. All the information to perform the rite is there but it was very short.
Negative: Nothing really except for my own petty want for more!
Overall, Demonolatry Rites is a great book that holds greater knowledge. I'm rating it in context: it is a book of demonolatry rites only, not something to for someone who knows nothing about demonolatry at all.
I rate it 9.0

Historical Point of View
5 Cullen
17 September 2012
Historical POV Essay
The plague has struck all of the neighboring villages, and my wife is afraid that it will take ours next. We plan to pray all night so that our children will be safe to grow up and live a healthy life, but the idea seems far-fetched, for I have known nobody to have survived the disease. Last night, as I lay in bed, my thoughts wandered to the church. I thought 'Why isn't the church doing anything to get rid of this horrendous epidemic? Why can't they ask God to forgive us and banish the plague?' I have asked my neighbors that very question, but they are afraid to question the actions that He and the church are making. We all would rather live the rest of our short life in misery than to be damned for all eternity. This morning, I prayed for two hours on behalf of my family's salvation. Tomorrow night, I plan on leaving the village with my family to find an escape from the curse that has seemed to swallow all of the country.
This epidemic is tearing the world as we know it. People are questioning my papal power, as well as the clergy. I do not know how to respond to the interrogation of my authority over the people, for we need to keep every person faithful to my church. If there are no people at the services, then how is the church going to collect money? We need to find a way to reassure the lower class that we can help them through God and explain to them how He is acting on the problem. Then, I would be able to stop telling people what they want to hear and lying to them. If they find out, they will lose more trust and respect for the church. If only there were a simple solution, but if there were, it would be a shortcut and some may frown upon us even more. Why can't the Bubonic Plague just spontaneously disappear? The people would be happy, and the church would regain its respect and power.

Monday 6th June 2016
It is hardly a first-born child or even a ''Susan Boyle moment'' but you might remember the first time you clapped eyes on a Nissan Juke.
Nowadays the Sunderland-built Juke is as common as cheesy chips but back in 2010 it was considered absolutely bonkers – concept car looks at small-hatchback prices.
For that reason, the fact that it was pretty poor was irrelevant. Cramped interior, tiny boot space, bad driving position, ropey cabin.
Buying a Juke was (and still is) like getting a date with your dream woman and discovering she eats with her mouth open.
But car buyers are a vain bunch of people.
Not only has the Juke kept on selling — Nissan flogged 40,000 in the UK last year — but it revolutionised the small market.
No longer is a Ford Fiesta-type hatchback the only sort of little runabout to choose from.
We can number of prematurely born gas-guzzlers, such as the Vauxhall Mokka, the Ford EcoSport, the Mazda CX-3 and the SsangYong Tivoli. The what? Yep, the new SsangYong Tivoli.
It's a shining Korean example of just how important the compact crossover is these days. In the time it took Nissan to shift all those Jukes last year, SsangYong sold just 3 500 butt-ugly SUVs , people carriers and pick-up trucks — either to farmers or, presumably, people so devastatingly attractive they needed something to bring them back down to earth.
Not too many people like that exist, so to hit the mainstream SsangYong has decided to make a compact crossover. For a start, the crossover market is currently they fastest growing in Europe.
But it is awash with form-over-function fops, like the Fiat 500X.
A marketing decision dressed up as a tiny SUV, the 500X is more expensive than Fiat's other beefed-up 500, the 500L, yet far less practical and no better to drive.
It is aimed squarely at Sunday League Wags.
And that is where SsangYong comes in.
The Tivoli is aimed at Sunday League dads. The sort who think "sexy" is a car with six cup holders, a glovebox big enough for two pairs of those brown hiking trainers dads wear and a centre console designed for a massive iPad 2.
There is the 65mpg economy of the diesel version too, which doesn't dip too much if you specify four-wheel drive (taking you to the start of your next big hike).
As much torque as a Mini Cooper S — something to brag about over a real ale or two.
It is not slow, either, with as much torque as a Mini Cooper S — something to brag about over a real ale or two.
Sure, the dashboard looks like it was lifted from a stereo that was bought at a Nineties car boot sale.
And SsangYong is so uncool it makes Kia seem like Aston Martin. But the Tivoli is just about the best compact crossover there is.
It's big, cheap, looks great and is uncommon.
It is better than the runabouts of the past and everything a small SUV should be — it trounces the Juke to become king of the compact crossovers.

On Sunday 15th October 17 members plus Walter, Chris' assistance dog, set off from Brimsfield village hall to do a 6.6 mile circular walk. Heading out of the village they walked through Brimsfield Park and continued through the wooded valley, before climbing up to the beautiful Grade 1 listed church of Saint Mary the Virgin in the village of Syde. The church was lit by gaslight until last year, but unfortunately the parts for the lamps are no longer available.
After a short coffee break here they headed down the valley again to return through New Seal wood to Brimsfield.

Applying for Google AdSense Account or Say to Create AdSense account and getting approved is not as easy as you think.
But don't worry as here im with you. I'm going to make it easy and simple for you to create Adsense account for blogger , WordPress , YouTube or any other static website.
Adsense account is a must if you really want to make money online. AdSense is one of the most trusted monetizing method.
You can use AdSense to make money with your blog , website or with your YouTube channel.
It is an in deep article about Google Adsense. I'm going to start with the basic requirements to create Adsense account. Also will be sharing tips and tricks to get your Adsense account approved faster. By faster I mean as soon as possible.
So before you go to apply for Adsense account, lets see the basic requirements.
- 1 Basic requirement for new AdSense Account
- 2 Tips to get Approved for AdSense faster
- 3 How to Create AdSense Account for new blog
Basic requirement for new AdSense Account
There are four basic requirements that should be fulfill to get Adsense account.
The requirements are:
- You must have your own Website : To get AdSense account, it is necessary to have your own website.
Here Website doesnt necessarly mean static website it can also be a blog like WordPress blog. You should have the access to the source code ( html code ) as you will required to place AdSense Ads Code.
- Your site must comply with AdSense program policies : There are some policies for site that you need to follow. Your site should fully comply with those policies. Policies like Copyright, Quality etc. Read full AdSense policies here.
- Your site has to be active for at least six months : This point is only for some country. By six month Google Adsense wants to make sure that your site is not a newly created website or blog. But i have seen many blogger getting approved for their one week old blog. So, age of the site should not be the problem though old site are good
to get AdSense Approve fast.
- Your Age must be 18 or more : Google AdSense account can be created only if you are 18 years old.
It's a condition laid down by Google for all AdSense publisher. But even if you are not 18 , you can apply.
But the problem is you have to add someone else as a payee and the payment will be sent in his/her name.
If you and your website meets the above Adsense requirement, you can now create your AdSense account. Below I have going to show how to create AdSense account.
But wait you need more information and you need to get yourself fully ready to approve by Google AdSense.
So, make sure that you follow the below steps. So that your Adsense account will get approved faster.
Tips to get Approved for AdSense faster
Content Quality & Quantity
This is a very important factor to get approved by Google AdSense. Your blog must maintain the content quality.
By quality here I mean your original article and not some someone else work which you have copied and pasted. Belive me if you just copy paste content , you will never get approved by AdSense. So it is necessary to maintain the originality of your blog.
Another example of low quality content is those content which are created for search engine only and not for users.
AdSense have a big team out there to see the quality of your blog. So, you can never fool them , they are expert in this field. Better you write content that values by the users or say which satisfies users requirement.
Try to write article on your blog , which contain minimum 1000 words and not less than that. As the more lengthier the post the more information it will contain and hence there will be more engagement of visitors. Which will help to get your AdSense account Approved faster.
Age of your Domain name
There was a time when Adsense was too strict with the Age of the domain. Well domain mean the url of your blog.
But current age is not a big factor to get approve by Adsense. As you can see many new blog getting Adsense approved. So you too can get Approved for Adsense with a new domain.
But to get Approved faster I suggest you to buy age domain ( old domain ). There are many domain which are already expired and sitting down there.
If you can get at least one year old domain that can make the Adsense approval process faster.
You have to be carefull while buying old domain. As the domain might not have good view in the eye of google.
If you buy a domain which is already blocked by google then you gonna have hard time to get approve by Adsense.
So be carefull while buying old domain.
Copyright Image
One of the main factor because of which many new blogger don't get approved by adsense is image copyright issue.
As a new blogger you might not know that image on your blog matters a lot. Many new blogger copy image from Google image search and place it on their blog post. It is the biggest mistake that many new blogger do.
Not only Google image search but even if you are copying and placing image anywhere from the internet. Which are copyright protected you will be in trouble and you wont get approved for Adsense account.
So it is always better that you create your own image. Even if you are taking image from any image stock , make sure those image are not copyright protected.
Even if you get approved by using copyright image. One day or other the owner of the image will come to know that you are using their copyright image. And if they make a copyright report to Adsense , you Adsense will get blocked.
So be carefull with the image you are using on your blog post. You can see the image above to get more ideas about copyright materials.
Adsense Prohibited Content
Under Adsense content policy , it is clearly mention that one cannot you use Adsense on a site which violate Adsense content policy.
Here is the list of content type that are declared as prohibited by Google Adsense :
- Adult content.
- Dangerous or derogatory content.
- Recreational drugs and drug-related content.
- Alcohol-related content.
- Tobacco-related content.
- Healthcare-related content.
- Hacking and cracking content.
- Pages that offer compensation programs.
- Misrepresentative content.
- Shocking content.
- Weapon-related content.
- Content that enables dishonest behavior.
- Illegal content.
Therefore you must not promote any of the content type mention above to get approved by AdSense. For more information you can visit Adsense Content Policy Page.
additional Tips to get Approved by Adsense
In the past I have written an article on 7 tips for new blog. If you have not read that article it is right time that you give a visit to it.
If you follow the mention tips ont that article. Your adsense account will get approve without any issue I can assure that.
