Whatever happened to good old fashioned kindness?

What a beautiful post Peggy!ReplyDelete
You know ... everything you said above is one of the biggest reasons why I adore dogs (and any animal!).
Think about it, dogs have an unconditional love, and all they ask for in return is love. And maybe a couple of schmacko's? :)
And they could not care less if their owner was black/white/yellow/orange/pink or blue. Nor do they care less about whether their owner is gay, or straight. They Don't judge you if you're rich, or poor.
They truly love you, for who. you. are.
And it's why dogs will always have the most special place in my heart :)
... We should all be like dogs ...
Thanks Cherie. And that is SO true about dogs! They are tolerant and loyal, something I find lacking in society these days. When our dog was on his way to us (he was a rescue dog sent down on a plane from up north) I asked a friend 'what if he doesn't like us?' and my friend smiled and said 'he will LOVE you!'. And that he does. In fact, he loves everyone!ReplyDelete

My motto in life has always been "Live and let Live". I have been asked many times that how can you just sit there and have no opinion what happens around the world. It's not that I don't have an opion, but if I can't change it, I don't voice it. But as you say Pegs, the world has become a nasty, sad intolerant place. In my days there used to be even honour amongts thieves, no children or old were never targeted. Why is it that an old or a young for that matter cannot feel safe in his or her own home?? Intolerance within our society will only stop when we all stop being selfish!ReplyDelete
I totally agree with all that you have said!I'm the type of person who says sorry to a stranger in the supermarket when they bump into me, but have been silently losing my temper more and more at the rude people who don't even say anything back, or just ignore you! And I get annoyed at myself for being so bloody polite when I didn't do anything! They should be the sorry ones!ReplyDelete
I have noticed a lot of comments online lately are so uncalled for and rude, I think people feel tough behind their keyboards! An innocent remark on facebook a couple of weeks ago had me abused by people I didn't know, who I didn't even aim my comment to. I can't stand it!
Sorry for the rant in your comments! Haha!

I like your motto Mum. I am finding out it is less stressful to not get too involved in situations I cannot change. And I think this regular display of intolerance I am seeing is one of those things I need to learn to let go of. I am getting very good at not voicing my own opinion in such situations (and you know I like to speak my mind)! xoReplyDelete
Oh rant away Rach, I am glad I am not the only one feeling this way! I too say sorry, and sometimes when I am not at fault. A little bit of courtesy goes a long way.ReplyDelete
I read a story yesterday that got my blood boiling - a man was innocently driving down the road with his wife and child in the car and some person rammed his car. He gets out to inspect the damage and got bopped over the head! What on earth?! Baffling.
As for fb that's a whole other post! I have had to 'hide' acquaintances to stop myself from commenting on things I just find hard to comprehend. I guess it takes all types (and I read some amazing stuff out there too) and although I understand we all think differently it is the lack of tolerance and outright rudeness I find hard to understand.
Thanks for dropping in. :)
Great post, Peggy and I completely agree with you. I also cannot bear intolerance and I think people are too quick to judge others as 'different' rather than look first for similarities. As long as people are not harming others, I say live and let live like your mum.ReplyDelete
(I love that your Mum comments on your blog!)
Thank you. And thanks for reading.ReplyDelete
My Mum is my biggest fan! I think she reads it every day. :) How lucky am I! xo

I love reading your blog and I find it very interesting reading. I learn something every time I read it, never too old to learn something new!ReplyDelete
I would REALLY love to hear your pretty thoughts. Since you're already here, why not leave me a comment?
Thank you for reading.

Elderflowers & Gooseberries
Everywhere I look at the moment there are Elderflower bushes, as I cycle along the country roads I am hit by the heady scent of their flowers, it is intoxicating. This weekend the boys and I plan to forage a big basket full ready for cordial making.
In June there is another treat in store for us down at our local farm shop, the very first of the pick your own harvest is ready, the Gooseberries! After school on Friday we headed down to pick as many as we could carry, I have a recipe I want to try, if it goes well I will share it here!
Jasper was a great picker and picked as many as I did, Asa and Barry on the other hand sneaked in to check on how the strawberries were doing and both came out with red stains on their t-shirts, there really is no stopping them sometimes

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Spansion Inc. CODE, +0.00% a global leader in embedded systems, started shipping samples of its Spansion® Traveo™ automotive microcontroller S6J3100 series incorporating the high-performance CAN FD interface for enhanced in-vehicle networking. The new offering in the product family is focused on various automotive applications including body control module (BCM), heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
Bosch invented the CAN standard many years ago and since then worked to improve in-vehicle communication through innovative solutions. Bosch introduced CAN FD as a seamless upgrade of the classic CAN technology the first time at the International CAN Conference in 2012. Like classic CAN, CAN FD enables highly reliable vehicle control, taking advantage of higher data rates with only a small impact on current software and applications. Spansion has started to supply leadership MCU products equipped with CAN FD.
"This announcement underscores our commitment to technology leadership in our Spansion Traveo family of automotive microcontrollers," said Nobuhiko Akasaka, vice president of Spansion's Automotive MCU Business Unit. "The delivery of the CAN FD interface in our MCUs provides industry-leading performance. This latest edition of the Traveo family builds upon our momentum in automotive microcontrollers and addresses customer requirements for faster, secure and energy-efficient solutions."
In addition to the CAN FD interface operating at 5Mbps, the S6J3110 series comes with a maximum 4MB of flash memory to enable high-level program control, and uses 55nm technology. It also features Secure Hardware Extension (SHE) for network security and improved performance for connected cars, as well as advanced partial wakeup for lowering power consumption.
The Spansion Traveo family of microcontrollers is based on the ARM® Cortex®-R5 core and tailored for a broad range of automotive applications. In May 2014, Spansion introduced the first product of the family, the MB9D560 series for vehicle electrification utilized in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and electrical vehicles (EV).
Features of the Spansion Traveo S6J3110 series
- High-end 32-bit MCU for body control: Spansion leads the industry by integrating the microcontroller with the ARM® Cortex-R5 core and with Bosch's advanced vehicle-mounted network technology CAN FD (maximum 5mbps:S6J3110 series). It delivers high-speed vehicle communication while retaining compatibility with conventional CAN (maximum 1Mbps).
- Equipped with optimal macro for body control: The microcontroller is embedded with Spansion's top-class high-capacity flash memory (4MB) as internal memory. This flash memory enables readout after one wait for access from the CPU. Furthermore, the 144MHz high-speed operation is possible using a single power supply. Efficient utilization of CPU performance realizes high-speed memory access and low-power consumption.
- Security function: In addition to conventional Flash security, which protects data stored in the microcontroller, the S6J3110 series is equipped with SHE (specification ver 1.1). The key management housed within the microcontroller is separated using hardware and an authentication function. This prevents data modification, theft and invalid access to the vehicle network.
- Partial wakeup: Normally, when A/D conversion is performed from the low power-consumption mode, the CPU is interrupted and the system returns to normal operation. Afterwards, it is necessary to start the A/D converter from the CPU. However, when using partial wakeup, power is cut to items other than the Real Time Clock (RTC). Then, once the RTC performs a specified count, the A/D converter is started and conversion begins without passing through the CPU. If conversion results are not within the scope of set values, it is possible to start the CPU through interruption. Partial wakeup makes it possible to lower power consumption even further when periodically checking for sensor malfunctions.

i love it Posted over a year ago

Here are some reviews I found of UMS.....
When we picked up "Under My Skin" it was one of several albums that went into the CD player in the car and when I did a milk run and was first listening to "Forgotten" I thought I was listening to the new Alanis Morissette album. But after "Let Go" this second album by Avril Lavigne is certainly a step in a better, arguably more mature, direction. On "Let Go" Lavigne worked with producer/songwriters Clif Magness and the Matrix, who polished up her melodic, edgy sound. Her singles "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" both went top 10 and we...
I'm not afraid of anything,
I just need to know that I can breathe,
And I don't need much of anything,
But suddenly (suddenly)
I am small and the world is big,
All around me is fast moving,
Im surrounded by so many things,
Suddenly (suddenly)
How does it feel...
To be, different from me,
Are we the same,
How does it feel...
To be, different from me,
Are we the same,
How does it feel,
I am young
Why do you look so familiar
I could swear that I
Have seen your face before
I think I like that you seem sincere
I think I'd like to get
To know you a little bit more
I think there's something more
Life's worth living for
Who knows what could happen
Do what you do
Just keep on laughing
One thing's true
There's always a brand new day
I'm gonna live today like it's my last day
Yeah Yeah Yeah-ya Yeah-ya
I looked away
then I looked back at you,
You tried to say
the things that you can't undo,
If I had my way
I'd never get over you,
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through.
Make it through the fall,
Make it through it all.
And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
Ah ah, ah oh
Ah ah, ah oh
Ah ah, ah oh
Ah ah, ah oh
I'm givin' up, on everything
Because you messed me up
Don't know how much you
Screwed it up
You never listened
That's just too bad
Because I'm moving on
I won't forget
You were the one that was wrong
I know I need to step up and be strong
Don't patronize me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Have you forgotten
Everything that I wanted?
Well I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What's wrong, whats wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
That's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go, to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
When I'm alone I
Feel so much better
And when Im around you
I don't feel
It doesn't feel right at all
Together we've built a wall
Holding hands we'll fall
I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside; all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable; come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Military prosecutors have reached into a section of military law seldom used since World War II in the politically fraught case against Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier held prisoner for years by the Taliban after leaving his post in Afghanistan.
Observers wondered for months if Bergdahl would be charged with desertion after the deal brokered by the U.S. to bring him home. He was — but he was also charged with misbehavior before the enemy, a much rarer offense that carries a stiffer potential penalty in this case.
"I've never seen it charged," Walter Huffman, a retired major general who served as the Army's top lawyer, said of the misbehavior charge. "It's not something you find in common everyday practice in the military."

This could give those long-opposed to Walmart's planned expansion in the city of Los Angeles more ammunition: The retail giant is catching heat for its recent firing of an employee who used medical marijuana off-the-job to treat his cancer-related pain.
Joseph Casias has a tumor pressing against his skull, according to MSNBC, and uses the drug -- legal in his home state of Michigan -- for relief. He says he never went to his job as a Walmart associate high, but found himself terminated after he want into work one morning anyway.
"I never thought I would be terminated for this," Casias, 29, told the website. "At first I thought, 'This wasn't true. How could this be right?'"
But a Los Angeles employment attorney, Carol Gillam, told MSNBC companies can still fire workers for marijuana use in states where the drug is a legal medical treatment. California tried to pass a law specifically banning such terminations, but it was vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

My Future
The future is something I think about a lot, I can just imagine myself and where i'll be once i'm done with school and all.
To be completely honest I have realised that becoming a teacher wouldn't be the brightest idea for me because I know that in order to be a teacher you must have the strength to put down the boot, and I can just say that i'm just a bit too soft for that. But then I could work on that.
The other couriers/jobs that have also come to mind is becoming a Lawyer or a professional Photographer. I can picture myself doing either of those things, I can imagine myself being a mom to be honest but at the right time. To have happy family and put my family as my first priority.
In that future I just want to be happy, I want my family to be happy. I just gotta work for it. I know that in order for me to get my dream courier/job I have to do my best in school, I have to give it my all.

Depression in College Women.
College time can be the most vulnerable time in the life of a women. The stress of studying, of making good grades can add to the toll of depressed women in college.
According to a recent national college health survey that was conducted by it was noted that 10% of the college students were diagnosed with depression and including 13% of college women.
The anxiety levels in a college life can be very high, which can be the main cause of depression. The hectic schedules in a college life can often leave the students restless. Women as five times as likely to experience anxiety disorders than men.
Eating disorders are most likely to affect the women in college. The uneven eating habits that can lead to obesity is prone to woman in college. The work schedules in these times have increased gradually compared to the older times. People wanted to succeed at any cost.
Some of the ways in dealing with depression in college can be outlined as follows:
Seek Help:
when the work is getting at you, and you are not able to deal that yourself. The wisest thing to do is to seek help. Ask for help from your counsellor or any elder who can provide with the necessary guidance at the time of trouble.
Organise your work:
confusion can lead to depression, organise your work carefully and execute it. Don't do all things at a time. The best method of doing work is to do one step at a time.
Relax from time to time:
take some time off more often than not. Let go of all the thoughts about work, college, studies and assignments and take time out. Go for a walk or a movie and just relax.
Read motivational books:
grab a book that can give you the necessary motivation. Whenever you are feeling low, pass through the pages and find your words of courage and get yourself back on track.
Proper organisation can help us in overcoming any from of depression. Follow the necessary steps and pave your path out of depression.

Prior to their decision of only playing X-ball, the All-Americans played in the NPPL, NXL, and the Millenium Series. Even though the All-Americans will not be playing 7-man, some of their players will be guesting for the rest of the season on other teams.

There either is or is not, that's the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it's red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I'm not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is an innovative, original episodic video and social media series produced for the web. Adapting Pride and Prejudice to the modern era, Lizzie Bennet tells the classic Jane Austen tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
The holiday season is bringing more than cheer for actress Jessica Capshaw. The Grey's Anatomy star announced on Monday that she and her husband, Honest Company co-founder Christopher Gavigan, are expecting their fourth child. "The holidays have certainly arrived … All of our lives are being added to by the lights, the music and cheer!!" she captioned a photo of her family at a Christmas tree farm on Instagram. "This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…"
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their "headshot".Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you're using a snapshot, it's like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I'm sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it's true! Don't tell me you're destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.
The Grinch from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical stole the spotlight at the Empire State Building's 86th Floor Observatory December 14, 2012, to promote the musical's limited holiday engagement. Discover the magic of Dr. Seuss' classic holiday tale as it comes to life on stage. Featuring the hit songs "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas," The Grinch discovers there's more to Christmas then he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic.

The length of Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu has long been adangerous place for drivers, walkers, and bikers, but a proposal coming before the Malibu City Council tonight outlines a bundle of about 130 street improvement projects, big and small, aimed at making the highway safer for all,says the Santa Monica Mirror. The possible improvements are part of a huge, three year safety study that attempts to pinpoint and remedy some of the biggest factors in making PCH so dangerous.
The Pacific Coast Highway Safety Study took aim at free street parking along PCH, finding that those free spots are much more attractive than pay options near beaches, and that means there are lots of people trying to parallel park while traffic whizzes by at 40 to 55 miles an hour.
Also dangerous is that parked cars, buses, cyclists, and people on foot are all sharing shoulder space without any real designated space for any of them. The competition that ensues, plus the "Inconsistent 'no parking' signs and red curbs" create an environment where crashes are just waiting to happen.
To help alleviate these and other scary conditions on PCH, the study suggests many, many fixes, including extending Malibu's new, $1.1million bike lane(currently running from Leo Carrillo Beach to Zuma Beach) so it runs for all of PCH within Malibu city limits, though it adds that the lane should be added in a way that doesn't take away street parking. (Residents have vocally opposed losing their street parking, of course.) Other suggested safety upgrades include road widening and realignment at Las Flores Canyon Road ("the city's most hazardous area"), a new bridge over Zuma Creek, taking signals out (at Rambla Pacifico, for example), putting in street lights, and installing two new traffic circles.

About Us
I began Mark-One-Media Ltd in June 2005, having jumped at the opportunity to start my own business after 27 years in the corporate environment. At the beginning, I just hoped to keep busy. In my wildest dreams I could never have envisaged how things would develop in such a very short period of time.
We've now filmed all over the world, in exotic locations like Barbados, Brazil, India and Egypt. We've also filmed in Europe and of course the length and breadth of Great Britain - equally as exotic at times!
During that time, our client list has grown considerably and we take great pride in having filmed and edited projects on behalf of a huge variety of organisations across a wide range of sectors. You can see a longer list and hear some of our clients' kind comments by clicking here.
As for keeping busy, there's barely been time to pause for breath. However, when the chance arises, you'll still find me hacking my way round the local golf course, casting a line from a river side or walking around the beautiful English countryside. Feel free to follow us on Twitter to find out what we're currently up to.
It's been a fantastic time for us so far – we've worked on some great projects and met a host of brilliant people along the way. I look forward to discussing your next film soon!

Barney ~ 3 yr old Boxer X ~ $400
Meet Barney!! Barney is a rambunctious 3 year old boxer cross. As you can imagine he is a typical boxer who just loves life to the fullest!
Barney is on the hunt for his forever home, and needs someone who understands dog behaviour, and is willing to give him plenty of stimulation and exercise daily.
This boy loves training and is very willing to learn! He has been working very hard on his social skills, both with his previous owners and also while in care with GAR. Barney attends regular group classes at Jimmy's Dog Training to keep up with his social time as well.
Barney was originally adopted from GAWS but unfortunately wasn't suited to a very busy household with small kids so he has ended up with us at GAR needing a fresh start! Because of this we think Barney is best suited to a home with no young children.
Barney needs a confident leader and a best friend to ensure he has a great future. He would be suitable as an only dog or would love an older calm pack member to be his friend and keep him company. He has been loving living in his foster home which is on property. In this time he has seen and ignored the livestock on the property without an issue. Barney also has had great off lead recall.
Barney is a happy boy, looking for a forever family to call his own. We're looking forward to matching him with them very soon!
Barney is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with flea and worm treatments.

From the Mayor's Office
Happy New Year!
On behalf of the Village Board and all Village employees in Greenwood Lake, I would like to wish all of our residents and readers a very happy, healthy and successful new year.
Meals on Wheels in our Community
Some may not be aware, but Orange County provides meals to eligible senior citizens at their homes in Greenwood Lake 5 days a week. This service, paid for by Orange County residents, provides an essential service to our elderly and homebound residents. One of the most interesting and fulfilling things I have done as Mayor has been volunteering with our local delivery teams to deliver "meals on wheels" to some of our homebound Village residents. This important service to our community, however, is in need of long term dedicated volunteers to help run the delivery route. If you are interested in helping with meals on wheels, please contact 845-615-3703 to see how you can get involved. If you are a homebound senior who is interested in learning more about this program, please contact 845-615-3710.
Events and Important Dates
- Christmas Tree Pickup Monday, January 4th. They will alternate between Mondays and Thursdays in an identical pattern to leaf pickup (Monday: West side of Village / Thursday: East side of Village). Last pickup will be Thur., Jan 14th.

Project duration
2009. – 2013.
Project summary
Project Genesis ("Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems and New Scientifi c and Technical Basis for Assessing Climate Change and Land–Use Impacts on Groundwater Systems") was one of the leading European projects dealing with groundwater issues. It was approved by the European Commission within the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The project started on April 1st 2009 and ended on March 31st 2014. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the project, scientists and experts from various fi elds of hydrogeology, soil science, agronomy, biogeochemistry, ecology, microbiology, economics, sociology and law participated. The project was based on studies of 16 European aquifers (case studies), including the Zagreb aquifer system. Thanks to this project, new knowledge was gained. The objective of GENESIS was to integrate the pre–existing and new scientific knowledge about groundwater and the dependent ecosystems for the revision of the Groundwater directives (GWD) against contamination and deterioration in the quality from 2006. The purpose of the project was:
- Development of new approaches and methods for estimation the impact of climate change and land use on groundwater and associated ecosystems
- Better understanding of the interaction of groundwater and dependent ecosystems
- Identification of processes that infl uence the behavior of contaminants in the aquifer systems
- Development of integrated models of water resources management.
Work on the project was divided into seven work packages:
- Co–ordination of case studies on impacts and threats to GWs and GDEs
- Groundwater fl ow characterization
- Pollutant input and leaching to groundwater aquifers
- Groundwater dependent ecosystems: groundwater–surface water interaction
- Integrated modelling of groundwater systems
- Groundwater systems management: scenarios, risk assessment, cost–effi cient measures and legal aspects
- Integration, uptake, training and dissemination.
In order to develop a more detailed and precise conceptual model of groundwater protection, research of the saturated zone (well field Stara Loza) and unsaturated zone (future well fi eld Kosnica) were conducted. This research has helped in defi ning and better understanding of the fl ow and transport parameters through the unsaturated and saturated zone in order to develop reliable models for the protection of Zagreb groundwater aquifer system.

I know we should not just think about what we are thankful for in the month of November. We should think about it everyday. So today I saw lots of posts of what people are thankful for. So I figure it would be good if I focus also this month with what I am thankful for.
I know I say this over and over - I am thankful that I am a mom. I love being a mom. Ashley just turned 5 and she is so much fun to be around. I never thought I could love some one so much!
Psalm 100:4 (RSV) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!

Being an organization which focusing on English, BNEC doesn't stop there to be an extraordinary organization. As an annual event of BNEC, this year social event raising the theme "Stairs for The Little Dreamer", is aiming for providing a platform for grabbing the little kids' big dream.
Our main activity was teaching them English. Since English is pretty much important now and these kids haven't got the chance to learn it, BNEC is giving them free English lesson for two months in a row twice a week. We are covering ten orphanages that hasn't got the good chance to give these little dreamers a real experience in learning English.
Other than teaching we were also holding the final day on Lippo Puri Mall with English Competitions as the main event. There are five field of competitions: Spelling Bee, Guess The Picture, Complete The Song, Fill in The Blanks, and Arranging a Word. This English Competition was attended by the students that we have thought before and have the most progress on learning English. In each competition, every orphanage was sending one of their students. They were chosen to represent the orphanages to win the competition. The guardians of the orphanages were also coming to see how their students are progressing and also to encourage their students.
The final day was closed by announcing the winners of each competitions. The kids were so happy knowing that they can be the winner and make their orphanage proud.
The euphoria hasn't ended yet. As the closing, all the participants and the committees were dancing 'The Gummy Bear' Dance. Not only that, we also gave them a little surprise with spreading the colorful balloons to all participants and then popped it together as there was a bracelet written "friend" in each balloon for them.
BNEC are not just giving the learning platform for the kids on those days only. Our goal is meant to be a long-term merit for the kids, thus, we are giving them books and mini library for each orphanage so that they can continue their studies and sharpen their English skill more even the event has done. BNEC want to make learning as a habit for the little dreamers as one of their way to reach their dream.
"The capacity to learn is a gift, the ability to learn is a skill, the willingness to learn is a choice"

half racks / quarter cages
Half Squat Racks, Compact Power Racks and Quarter Weightlifting Cages - Half racks and quarter cages are scaled down versions of full size squat racks and power cages and are ideal for those limited by space and budget. When it comes to strength training, strength training equipment such as these have no equal in providing a safe and versatile platform where gold standard barbell exercises like squats, chest presses and shoulder presses can be performed. However, even standard size squat racks and power cages can be too large for some locations. These smaller, more compact designs are achieved by removing the walk in "cage" and replacing it with J-hooks and adustable height safety bars on the outside of the uprights. The wall-mounted quarter cage is the ultimate in saving space. The end result is the ability to perform the same strength training exercises within a much smaller work space. Weight plate storage, weightlifting platforms, resistance band pegs, pull-up bars and multi-benches are available on the smaller racks just as they are on the larger racks. Start increasing strength and building muscle today with a weightlifting rack by industry leading weightlifting equipment manufacturers such as Legend Fitness, TuffStuff, Bomb Proof, York Barbell, Torque Fitness, Powertec and BodyCraft.
Need help selecting the best compact weight training rack that best addresses your training goals? Let an IRON COMPANY strength equipment expert assist you today at 1-888-758-7527

Quality unit leadership is the key to a quality unit program—and it leads to better Scout retention. Statistics show that if young people stay engaged in the program for at least five years, the BSA's influence likely will stay with them for the rest of their lives. A quality Scouting experience will help keep Scouts in the program, and the Boy Scouts of America created the Unit Leader Award of Merit to recognize the quality unit leaders who make that happen.
The Unit Leader Award of Merit replaces the Scoutmaster, Varsity Team Coach, and Venturing Crew Advisor award of merit programs. This new recognition has revised requirements, and Cubmasters are also eligible for this recognition.
Unit Leader Award of Merit Progress Record
The nominee must:
The award may be presented for each program, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity, and Venturing, if the individual meets the requirements in each program. Only one knot is worn with the devices of each program that the award was earned in.

"…in truth it was all just an illusion, just as solid matter is an illusion, just as our bodies are an illusion, pretending to be one thing when really they are millions upon millions of atoms coming and going, some arriving while others are leaving us forever, as if each of us were only a great train station, only not even that since at least in a train station the stones and the tracks and the glass roof stay still while everything else rushes through it, no, it was worse that that, more like a giant empty field where every day a circus erected and dismantled itself, the whole thing from top to bottom, but never the same circus, so what hope did we really have of ever making sense of ourselves, let alone one another?"
"How little I understood of him then, of how the more you hide, the more it becomes necessary to withdraw, how soon it becomes impossible to live among others."
"Of course it isn't that simple. One doesn't choose between the outer and the inner life; they co-exist, however poorly. The question is: Where does one place the emphasis?"

Auto-Motivate offers free taster
Mindset performance training is now available specifically to the bodyshop industry via Auto-Motivate with a free taster session on offer.
Auto-Motivate, the brainchild of managing director, Mike Monaghan is designed to bring about what he claims could be the 'most successful change model to ever reach the bodyshop industry'. Evidence supports the idea that this type of training can increase productive efficiency in a company by over 30%.
Mike said, 'You can have the best bodyshop, the best business, the best process, but if a staff member walks in on a morning in the wrong mood, you will never get the best out of him or her and whether they choose to co-operate or be disruptive will be entirely up to them. Leadership, cultural shifts and people management can also be unsuccessful and challenging because we don't ever train our minds.'
To help give a better understanding of what mindset training is and how it works, Auto-Motivate is running a free seminar on 3 May for bodyshop owners and managers. The event will be held in Preston.

Temples in Kerala are famous for their unique architecture, interesting legends and the divine aura. There are temples in Kerala dedicated to almost all the Gods and Goddesses. Let us take a virtual tour of Dakshina Mookambika Temple located in North Paravur of Ernakulam district in Kerala.
The Dakshina Mookambika Temple is one of the important Saraswati temples in Kerala. Apart from the Goddess Saraswati, the other sub-deities that are worshipped here include Ganesha, Lord Vishnu, Hanuman and Yakshi.
Legend Behind The Temple
There is an interesting legend associated with the temple. It is said that the ruler (called as Thampuran) of the region was an ardent devotee of Goddess Mookambika and used to go to Kollur Mookambika temple every year, to seek blessings from the Goddess. As his health deteriorated due to old age, he could not visit the temple.
On this, the Goddess is said to have appeared in his dream and instructed to build a shrine near his palace, so that he can have darshan of the Goddess daily. Following this, the Thampuran built a shrine and installed the idol of the Goddess there.
Festivals At Dakshina Mookambika Temple
The Navratri festival is one of the major festivals that are celebrated in the temple. Thousands of devotees flock in from various parts of the country to take part in this music festival. Similarly, Durgashtami and Vijayadashami are also observed here by the devotees. Another important festival celebrated here is the 10-day annual festival which takes place in the month of Makaram (January-February).

Has Alex Renard, candidate for the Republican nomination in the 1st Senate District special election primary refused to debate his opponent, State Representative Andre Jacque? It depends who you ask. Jacque says Renard has refused a forum proposed by the N.E.W. Patriots, a group born during the Tea Party movement of 2009, and that Renard wasn't interested in a similar offer from the Brown County Republican Party. Renard Campaign Manager Dylan Lange denied Jacque's claim in an email to Media Trackers:
Andre is again spreading misinformation. There are not two organized debates; however, we did participate in a forum with Andre last night.
- Shortly after the special election was called, Brown County GOP Chair Marian Krumberger called me to ask if I would be willing to have a debate before the special election primary if she could get it set up. I enthusiastically agreed. She said she would be reaching out to Alex Renard's campaign with the same request. It would potentially be moderated by someone from WTAQ (radio) on or off-air or some mutually agreeable person, and we discussed possible locations as well. She suggested early the week of April 23rd would be her target, and I placed a hold on my calendar for the nights of April 23rd and 24th. Apparently, Renard was not interested.
- I accepted the offer from NEW Patriots to participate in a pre-primary debate, sent by Ron Zahn last week Friday, and emailed him several possible dates that would work out of the range of dates suggested, but hadn't heard back yet (a response had been requested by April 23rd).
Media Trackers than posed the following to Lange, via e-mail:
1) When did the N.E.W. Patriots contact the Renard campaign proposing a debate?2) When did the Renard campaing respond?3) What was that response?4) What was the Renard campaign response to a forum proposal from Marian Krumberger of the Brown County Republican Party5) Is it your belief that the appearance before the Kewaunee Co. GOP executive committee constitutes a "forum."
There are not two offers of debates. As for Kewaunee, we participated in that forum, but I'm not sure how they promoted it.
As you know, this election is on a compressed timeline and we are focused on meeting with voters in the 1 SD directly at their homes. Therefore, we will be unable to attend a forum. We hope to have the opportunity to talk with you in the future.
Dylan Lange, campaign manager
Renard for Senate Campaign.
Krumberger confirms to Media Trackers that the Brown County GOP did reach out to both candidates about a possible forum but says neither refused:
I did reach out to both candidates. I didn't get a negative from either one of them. Andre wanted WTAQ(to moderate). Alex wanted someone neutral.
Krumberger says in the end the forum didn't come together and concedes the county party may have "dropped the ball." As for Lange's contention that the Kewaunee County GOP appearance constitute's a forum, Jacque strongly disagrees.
If Dylan Lange is trying to bill our conversation with the Kewaunee County GOP Executive Committee earlier this week as any sort of publicly accessible "forum," that's laughable. It was not advertised to the public to my knowledge, and the room we were meeting in was definitely at full capacity with 13 people (including Alex, Dylan and myself).
Alex was not willing to respond to any of the direct policy questions that I asked. And if he was willing to speak to the Kewaunee GOP Executive Committee, why couldn't we have held a debate or public forum that night or any other night this week at the same time (or any time at night when it is too dark to be going door-to-door) that voters could attend?
Jacque provided the invitation to the Kewaunee Co. meeting he received:
Andre and Alex,
You are both invited to attend the Kewaunee Co. Executive Committee meeting on Wed April 25th. I would like to set aside 20 to 30 minutes where our committee could have a chance to have open discussion with the Candidates who are going to go head to head on May 15th.
I recognize that you both addressed us at the LDD, but there was no time for any Q & A.
Your thoughts?
Ron Heuer
Chairman, GOP, Kewaunee, Co.
It seems clear that there were, in fact, two opportunities for forums presented; one from the Brown County Republican Party, the other from the N.E.W. Patriots. It is also clear that Renard flatly rejected at participation in at least one of the proposed forums. It's also possible Lange makes a distinction between "debate" and "forum." If he does, he didn't mention that point to Media Trackers; something he could have done by answering the five questions posed to him. Forum and debate are commonly used interchangeably. It also seems clear that there will be no joint appearance between Renard and Jacque before the special election party.
Renard is spending significant amounts of money on ads in the Green Bay television market. An ad getting heavy airplay highlights Renard as an "outsider" and features video of the candidate at his family's business. It makes no mention of any policy positions Renard holds.

A two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF), analytical model of a hydraulic valve lifter is derived. Special features of the model include the effects of bulk oil compressibility, multimode behavior due to plunger check valve modeling, and provision for the inclusion of third and fourth body displacements to aid in the use of the model in extended, multi-DOF systems. It is shown that motion of the lifter plunger and body must satisfy a coupled system of third-order, nonlinear differential equations of motion. It is also shown that the special cases of zero oil compressibility and/or 1-DOF motion of lifter plunger can be obtained from the general third-order equations. For the case of zero oil compressibility, using Newtonian fluid assumptions, the equations of motion are shown to reduce to a system of second-order, linear differential equations. The differential equations are numerically integrated in five scenarios designed to test various aspects of the model. A modal analysis of the 2-DOF, compressible model with an external contact spring is performed and is shown to be in excellent agreement with simulation results.

Looks like he's caused another mess.
Now everyone is asking, "Will the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi do the right thing and criminally prosecute the high-paid executives of Eaton Aerospace?
It seem that Eaton used the Pied Piper to influence a court decision. From yesterday's Clarion Ledger:
[Eaton] the aerospace company alleges former engineers stole trade secrets for military contracts and gave them to their new employer, Frisby Aerospace of North Carolina. Eaton is seeking $350 million in a civil suit. "Ed Peters is expected to testify that he was brought into the case by Eaton, not as counsel of record, but as somebody who could influence DeLaughter," [U.S. Attorneys] said in a document .... Attorneys for Frisby -now known as Triumph Actuation Systems - maintain rulings from DeLaughter began going in Eaton's favor after Peters became one of Eaton's attorneys. Eaton officials called the document reckless. "There are a lot of false statements in here," said Don McGrath, senior vice president of communications for Eaton, said of the document. "In no way did we ask Ed Peters to imply or ask or insinuate that he would do anything improper in trying to influence Judge DeLaughter or any other judge." The prosecutors allege that DeLaughter went against Dunbar's recommendation to sanction Eaton for failing to disclose its use of a paid whistle-blower in the case. "Peters is expected to testify that he recommended to Judge DeLaughter that the court remove Jack Dunbar and find another special master. Ed Peters even took it upon himself to call another attorney to inquire about his availability for appointment as a special master in the case but called back to ask that his name not be mentioned." According to prosecutors, Dunbar didn't hear back from DeLaughter on his recommended sanctions and was removed from the case.... "In short, once Eaton attorneys found themselves in trouble, they brought in Ed Peters into the case to influence DeLaughter," prosecutors wrote. Asked why Eaton decided to hire Peters, a longtime prosecutor, McGrath replied, "There are few Mississippi trial lawyers that have as much experience as Ed Peters."
Experience or influence peddling? McGrath is full of beans.

Since February, the Ontario and Federal governments have announced over $800 million for greenhouse gas emission reductions and energy efficiency retrofits in Ontario's existing social housing. This funding provides a major opportunity to improve your building's efficiency and complete repairs:
|Project Types
|Funding for Ontario
|SHARP & SHEEP (Ontario)
|$92 million
|Climate Change Action Plan (Ontario)
|Up to $500 million
|Social Housing Improvement Program (part of Ontario allocation of federal Social Infrastructure Fund)
|$209.3 million
If you haven't had funding confirmed under SHARP or SHEEP, there will still be an opportunity for funding through upcoming programs. It's important to be prepared in advance of when program details are announced:
This spring, HSC engaged the sector for input on funding program design and delivery. This input will be shared with the Province as it develops the incoming programs.
HSC is providing support to Service Managers and housing providers to maximize project impacts.
Utilities are the single largest controllable operating cost for your building. The incoming funding can help you reduce your energy and water consumption, resulting in lower operating costs for your building. Taking steps now to decrease your operating costs will put you in a good position at your EOA date.
Additional funding has been committed under the Province's Poverty Reduction Strategy, Long-term Affordable Housing Strategy, the 2016 Federal Budget, and Federal/Provincial Investment in Affordable Housing.
Questions? Feel free to contact HSC Energy Services!
|More helpful articles and case studies
Whether you're new to UMP or a long-time participant, it's important to understand and engage your UMP report every quarter.
A quick way to understand how the UMP report works is to review our UMP Energy Dashboard video.
In addition to the Graphs and Tables tabs outlined in the video, there are now Water (W), Electricity (ELG, EHG), and Gas (GLG, GHG) benchmark tabs in your report. These tabs are more detailed versions of the Benchmark Gauges you see on the Graphs tab.
The Energy Conservation Suggestions tab provides useful articles, tips, and links to incentive programs. Each quarter, we add new articles and links to this tab to help you address your energy consumption.
It's helpful to know some of the key terms used on your report:
|A comparison of your building's energy performance either to itself over time or to other similar buildings. UMP does both for you.
|Your actual energy consumption for a given period.
|Your projected usage based on historical usage and adjusted for weather.
|Energy Use Intensity (EUI):
|EUI is a useful way to compare a building's consumption to that of many buildings of similar heating and building type. It is calculated by dividing your consumption for the past 12 months by your building's gross floor area (in square metres). EUI is used as the unit of comparison for the Benchmark Gauges and on the Water, Electricity, and Gas tabs.
When looking at your report, how do you know if your building's is performing well? Here are a few quick tips:
While your building's energy performance may be improving over time, it could also be using more energy than other buildings in the sector, or vice versa. For this reason, it's important to look not just at usage over time but how your building is doing compared to other buildings. Getting a complete picture of your energy consumption – both quarter-to-quarter and relative to other buildings – will help you better address your building's energy performance.

Cyber Monday Website
Considering the most accurate, timely and comprehensive view of consumers' online shopping and spending behaviors can make or break a company's year. A well-planned and successful Cyber Monday website to serve your customers serves as an audience for products and services. In addition to your website, you need to understand their online spending habits. A recent study determined that a successful Cyber Monday for a company can result in up to 19% higher numbers for the year. Merchants have a lot to consider.
Ensuring that the company's Cyber Monday website is aesthetically pleasing to visitors is critical. Additionally, ensuring that your website loads consistently and quickly is paramount. This can increase chances of a large influx of shoppers to the website. Because as most of us already know, every second of this online-shopping day can mean major profit – or losses for your company. For this reason, it is paramount that business websites are adequately prepared for Cyber Monday.
What is Cyber Monday?
The e-commerce version of Black Friday is called Cyber Monday and this important day occurs on the Monday following Black Friday. It's the weekend after Thanksgiving and symbolically it kicks-off the holiday shopping season. In previous years, Black Friday is used as an early gauge of what's working with customers, and what's not. With the growth of online shopping, one can argue that retailers are often more interested in revamping their websites, rather than paying overtime to employees during this busy season. Although, Black Friday is an important day for retailers, Cyber Monday has evolved into a time of year that is important for online businesses and means that companies can engage in new marketing strategies, hit yearly targets, and move-in new products, while clearing out the old inventory.
According to reports:
- Cyber Monday is the #1 of the top 10 spending days in the United States.
- Green Monday (December 10) holds the #2 spot for the largest spending day in the United States. Green Monday is the last Monday prior to Christmas and is usually the shipping "cut off date" for most postal outlets to get standard shipped packages delivered to customers before Christmas.

How do retailers get ready for Cyber Monday?
Understand the online retail landscape, create superior digital marketing strategies and identify changes in consumers' behavior and attitudes as they move through the purchase funnel. Easier said than done… right?
Conduct Market Research
There are a few selective tools that we recommend for this process. Keeping tabs on your website competition gets complicated when you're selling online. SEMRush makes it less confusing. Get the search insights that show whether people increased their searches for your products and competitors within search engines. Begin your preparations early. If we look at last year in Google Trends, we can see that people actually started searching for "Christmas Gift Ideas" beginning in August.
Green Website Options
Green website practices cultivate added interest in business. A lot of entrepreneurs that build an online business experience frustration. With online commerce, the opportunity is great, however there is a lot of competition. So, a niche market can improve your odds. For example, if your business provides bug extermination services, research the option of providing "green" extermination services. I, for one, do not allow extermination in my house with typical chemicals.
As a cancer survivor, I prefer to have environmentally-friendly green extermination in my home. This is just one example. Beyond the reason of market opportunities for businesses, there is also the advantage of doing the right thing. — GreenHostIt exec
Consumers are often open to companies that participate in environmentally-friendly practices, such as hosting their websites with green web hosting. Another example is "giving back". Companies that spend resources giving back to their local communities have the advantage of doing the right thing, which feels good. But not only is doing the right thing a positive experience, it is also one that does not go unnoticed in the business arena.
Plan Your Website For Cyber Monday With A Promotional Calendar
Choose which holiday strategy you wish to pursue.
Decide which holidays which you want your business to participate. Participating and preparing for all the holidays within the Fall season may not be possible. So, you might want to select your chosen few.
Create a promotional calendar
. Use it to plan out your steps necessary to execute your campaigns. Your calendar does not need to be complicated. You can use an online tool such as Google Calendar.
Plan out your return policy
and additional payment options for your online customers. Does your company already have a merchant account? e your company already has a PayPal account? Do you utilize a SSL certificate on your website (so that checkout pages are encrypted for added security)? SSL certificates offer more than just data encryption, they also serves as a powerful trust signal for your visitors. In order to have a SSL certificate installed for your website, you will first need a dedicated IP address installed, which in some cases, will mean that your web hosting plan needs to be upgraded.
Decide in which ad channels you wish to participate
Prepare Your Website For Cyber Monday
The holiday season can be a hectic time. They can also be a very profitable time. So plan your website marketing strategy carefully.
- Be sure that your promotional calendar includes items such as:
- Write Emails – They should be written well ahead of time before sending to your email list. Remember, once you hit the send button, you can't take it back. You might want to consider segmenting your email list for maximum effectiveness. Don't forget the importance of the holiday season. Everyone is busy and short on time, so you will want to plan out your email marketing well ahead of time and consider the best time of day to send our communications as well as the best day of the week. You do not want to add to the stress of the season by over doing it Keep the tone light and up-beat.
- Ad Copy – Writing strong and effective copy can take effort. Compelling content is such that includes well written and original promotional copy. Start this one well ahead of your deadline because it is an important step.
- Blog Content – Writing blog content is almost a constant responsibility. Keep in mind that you will most likely want to post your new blog articles ahead of promotions so that you give Google plenty of time to index your new content prior to any promotions.
- Landing Pages – The landing pages which are the recipients of visitors who click on your promotional ad links can help to bump up your conversion rate for the holiday season. For this reason, it is important that they are designing in a compelling way. If you need help designing your landing pages, consider Thrive Leads.
Improve Your Website's Appearance
Potential customers often use your website as the first impression for your brand. Your website should be dynamic, user friendly, and contain updated and original content. It should communicate your brand values that attracts new customers to come in an complete your most desired action (MDA) whether it be subscribing to your newsletter, submitting a contact form for a proposal, or purchase your products and services. Whatever your MDA may be, your website needs to be consistent and inherited across all of your communication mediums, including: website, blog, social media, invoices, marketing collateral, etc.
If you are considering a website redesign project, you will want to explore the website design tips section of our blog.
Test Your Website's Speed
Conduct a speed test with WP Engine. With WP Engine's new Word Press Speed Test, you can find out just how much the speed, or lack thereof, of your Word Press site is costing you—it tells you how much money is walking out the door if your site is slow.
Launch Your Online Marketing
The final step is to execute. Launch your campaign by closely following your promotional calendar. By the time you get to this step, if you have planned and prepared properly, you should have most of the components ready to go.
Cyber Monday Website Opportunities
This Cyber Monday – if managed well, can turn your website into a conversion machine!

Abnormal Grain Refinement Behavior in High-Pressure Die Casting of Pure Mg with Addition of Zr as Grain Refiner
- 126 Downloads
Abnormal grain refinement behavior was found during high-pressure die casting of pure Mg with addition of Zr as grain refiner. The grain size of die-cast pure Mg was only 6.71 µm, whereas it abnormally increased to 18.93 µm after addition of 1 wt.% Zr particles, indicating loss of the grain refinement effect. Further experimental results showed that a melt quenching effect in combination with an increased number of effective nuclei could result in extremely refined grains in die-cast pure Mg, because many MgO particles could be activated simultaneously as nuclei. Therefore, it can be suggested that, before nucleation in high-pressure die-casting conditions, in the absence of effective (Zr) particles with small misfit, particles (MgO) with larger misfit and high number density might represent the most effective grain refiner.

Another Valentine's Day has come and gone. The champagne is finished, your flowers may have sighed their last breath and the chocolates have somehow mysteriously disappeared, however there is one thing that will live on. You would not have found it in a card, flower or chocolate store because they do not sell it there but I believe it is one of the most precious gifts that a person can receive. It is purchased with more than just money, it is a gift that is given as a result of a deep love and outlives anything that one can receive as a declaration of love from one person to another—have you ever heard about a gift that I call The Legacy of Love?
The Legacy of Love is nothing more than…life insurance. People do not usually think of life insurance as a gift for significant others on Valentine's Day, but think about it for a minute. If you had not come home on February 15, what would the other gifts people traditionally give do to keep your loved ones safe? Life insurance is there when you need it, not if you need it!
A Legacy of Love is a financial safety net that outlives Valentine's Day and every other day of the year for that matter. It makes sure that:
- mortgage payments will be met
- household bills will not go unpaid
- parents can stay home with their preschool children
- medical bills will not pile up
- children can go to the college or university of their choice
- those left behind can live with dignity and not despair
Losing my 39-year-old husband in less than sixty seconds thrust me into a world where every time I turned around, someone had their hand out asking me for money. The only person with their hand out giving me money was my life insurance advisor. I truly believe if I had to pick myself up off the floor financially as well as emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, I would not be whole and standing upright as I am today.
While I realize that life insurance is not something you can touch, smell or taste I can guarantee you that it is the greatest hug you can continue to give someone long after you are gone.

I understand the rational of verifying for a valid user after clicking submit, but if I don't want the verify check, how do I get rid of it?
- JotForm SupportpaoloumalidevAnswered on February 12, 2013 at 08:08 PM
The checks can easily be toggled when you are editing your form and active field is being worked on:
Below, name field is active and so the 'required' constraint can be removed/toggled.
Or did I misunderstand your question?
- speelAnswered on February 12, 2013 at 08:18 PM
Go under power tools of that form and selection the validation button. From there you can select what kind of validation you wish to use (in your case, you will likely select "none").From there you can save the form and that should talk care of it, if that is what you were referring to.
Hope this helps!

Maybe she was just referring to the toolbar when you are actively editing a textbox as shown also in the screenshot above.
Required | Size | Validation, right across the top toolbar.
Normally, you want to have the 'required' restriction for input fields that records important/primary information, e.g. Full name.

Please ask the thank you question on a separate thread. It will keep the forum more clean and we will be able to answer it better without confusing multiple questions.
Validation is on the top. This screenshot was posted above but I am reposting it to show it. See the validation button at the top. It shows up when you select a question.
- tstearnsAnswered on February 14, 2013 at 01:57 PM
you're not understanding the question. After clicking the Submit button, a small image is displayed prompting the user to type in the letters that are displayed to make sure that a human is submitting the form. I don't want that check!! How do I remove that prompt? It's toooooo small and very annoying.
