My Easter Dresses
One of my favorite Easter dresses ever was light green polyester. It was plain to begin with solid green. Grandmother made the dress and decided that it needed something more. To this day light green and pink together are two of my favorite color combinations. The collar of the dress was pointed. On each point of the collar she tacked a pick flower that she took from an old nightgown Aunt Elaine brought to me when she visited from Orlando Florida. It was always neat to me that I had an aunt that lived in Florida. The pink flower on the collar was so pretty to me. I was happy with that. Grandmother still thought it needed one more thing. She found a piece of pink cotton material and made a bow to tie and tack to the center of the neck. Thus I had another wonderful Easter dress. One Easter when I was older my dress was off white cotton with black berry prints on it. Both black ripe blackberries and red not ripe; it was the prettiest fabric I had ever seen. The pattern Grandmother used was simple as most patterns she used were. If the pattern was very complicated she would just alter it to her liking. Fabrics of the past stand out in my memory. There are a couple of quilts that are still around that I can pick out which one of my dresses was cut into quilt pieces. Even one of the quilts has stitching that my daddy stitched. I can still pick out his section of the quilt after forty years. The immediate family consisting of Mama, Daddy, my little brother and I were rescued by my grandmother when I was seven. We came from up north when Daddy had lost our house, because he drank too, much to keep his job. My grandmother and they were well known in the rural southern community. The neighbors and relatives were ready to give her whatever she might be able to use for feeding and clothing my family. Hand me down clothes were always exciting to me. There are many that I wish I still had today. Grandmother was frugal to say the least. A ladies adult suit could be cut down to a size seven little girls if you were my grandmother. There was a maroon cotton skirt and jacket worn by my thin small middle aged great aunt, she cut down for me. I wore it with the greatest of pride. It had black and brown mingles giving the appearance of paint brush strokes. It was the seventies and it gave me all the style a seven year old ever wanted.

Who's Who on the Presidential Internet Teams
The Washington Post has some breathless "aren't they amazing?" coverage of the internet teams for the various presidential campaigns. If you can get past the breathlessness, it's a good roundup of who the players are -- along with some interesting tidbits about integration:
But the Internet touches not just fundraising but also all other facets of the campaigns, including communications and field organizing, and the buzzword that OPOs throw around is "integration" -- how well the online department is integrated with the rest of the campaign and its staff. Everyone agrees that more integration is needed. Not everyone agrees on what it means. ...

Self-care has evolved tremendously in the past four decades. With the advent of the Internet, diverse sources of health advice and information are now just a few clicks away. Quality, safety and efficacy should be the core emphasis for self-care, so that individuals can reliably choose self-care products and services to look after their health and wellbeing.
Deon Schoombie, Executive Director of the Australian Self Medication Industry joined us recently to share his view on self-care in the changing public healthcare landscape. He will be speaking at the upcoming the Future of Medicare Conference, taking place on 13th and 14th August in Sydney.
What are some of the main challenges of balancing self-care and public healthcare? How can we overcome these challenges?
Deon: We believe that the idea of self care warrants serious policy attention because we know that the healthcare system is not sustainable in its present state, and there is increasing focus on what individuals can do to better look after their health and wellbeing.
Some of the issues that will require attention include the scope of self care – identifying those who can benefit and who are in a position to be more pro-active in looking after their health.
We know, for instance, that a significant number of visits to GPs are for relatively minor ailments such as coughs and colds. There may be better ways to treat these patients, perhaps through community pharmacists, and a more effective way of utilising our healthcare resources more generally.
We should also be looking at where we can improve health literacy so that consumers have the best information about their health and ways to avoid chronic disease and avoid preventable illness.
I think we are at a point where we need to engage in a conversation about the role of self care and, within that, look at where we can get the best results and help people to lead more productive and healthy lives.
ASMI was established in 1974. How has the landscape of self-care evolved in the last four decades?
Deon: A lot has changed since the establishment in 1974 of the first over-the-counter (OTC) medicines industry peak body, which was the forerunner to ASMI. The industry itself has grown and evolved into today's $4 billion OTC and complementary medicines sector.
ASMI has always played a key part in medicines policy, including in the establishment in 1999 of the National Medicines Policy, with one of its four core principles being the Quality Use of Medicines.
An emphasis on quality, safety and efficacy have always been at the core of ASMI's mission, backed up by an evidence-based approach, and a Code of Practice that sets ethical standards for the advertising and promotion of consumer healthcare products.
Major changes have included the advent of the Internet, and the challenge posed by consumers with access to diverse sources of health advice and information.
Also, we've seen the advent of a more empowered consumer and a shift, from illness to 'wellness' and prevention. Together with the uptake of complementary medicines, this has been the catalyst for new investment and innovation, as well as for a regulatory structure catering to a whole new category of medicines.
What role does ASMI play in contributing towards better health through responsible self-care?
Deon: ASMI will continue to pursue regulatory and policy changes on behalf its members with the aim of achieving a credible, evidence-based self care sector that delivers safe, cost-effective health solutions.
High on the list is ensuring Australians get access to the latest and most effective medicines through appropriate medicines scheduling.
Plans for the harmonisation of the therapeutic goods markets in Australia and New Zealand have been on the radar for some time and ASMI will continue to pursue this worthwhile goal.
ASMI has pressed for better protection of the IP of innovator companies, in order to encourage ongoing investment in research and innovation.
We are continuing, with other stakeholders, to establish a Self Care Alliance that can help to build the evidence base around self care, and in doing so, improve health literacy and identify opportunities for more cost-effective healthcare delivery.
You will be speaking at the Future of Medicare conference on the topic "Self-care in a changing public healthcare landscape". What is the key message that you'd like to share with the conference audience? Is there anything else you're looking forward to at the event?
Deon: Essentially, we are going through a landmark moment, both in healthcare and for Medicare. We have reached a point where some difficult options are being placed on the table.
We think that a better way is to look at the place of self care. This entails people taking greater responsibility for their own health, with support from healthcare professionals, through better lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise, and managing chronic conditions and everyday minor ailments.
It has become an integral part of the health system in the UK and it could play a valuable part here.
I am looking forward to the conference – there are some very impressive speakers and I'm sure that we will get a robust and positive discussion.
We all come to this with the simple objective of achieving the best, most affordable healthcare system. I'm sure we will all learn a great deal and, hopefully, be able to reach some sensible outcomes that will make it a memorable day.
Joining Deon at the Future of Medicare conference this August is the Honourable Catherine King, MP, Shadow Minister for Health and key industry professionals from organisations such as, Cormorant Policy Advice, Bupa, Institute of Health Economics and Technology Assessment and more.

Quirky title - it's an attention getter. Your intro is far better than any intro I've read for a cookbook, that's for sure.ReplyDelete
Have a Blessed Easter, Michael!
Wow! What an interesting journey on the hunt for Jewish French cooking. Love it!ReplyDelete
Still not much of a chef here... nope, haven't improved dramatically since the last cookbook. BUT, I do know someone who I think would really like this one!ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm hungry! And I love to cook! This sounds great!ReplyDelete
Good luck, Joan! I liked that intro, Michael. (I mean it's Paris. . and France.) I do cook quiche, crepes, galettes, and prefer couscous to rice sometimes. Interesting that Joan has been able to merge cultures. A foodie quest would be fun. We liked the local recipes, and the smaller cafes in Paris that we visited.ReplyDelete
Your cookbook collection sounds a lot like mine, Michael! My husband has to keep building me new bookshelves! Happy Easter.ReplyDelete
Great intro as always, Michael! Sounds like an unique cookbook!ReplyDelete
I have a cookbook of Jewish Latin American cooking. This sounds really good too.ReplyDelete
Happy Easter.
Mmm... Now you've got me hungry. I've found I devour French cuisine--and not just because they have such excellent cheese. (Although that helps.)ReplyDelete

Bp Strategy Toward Environmental Issues
and non renewable energy
1-What are the main feature of BP's past business strategy toward climate change and the energy production based on non renewable natural resources? What were the main rives behind this strategy?
Before 1997, BP's management was not involve in climate change issue caused by the use of fossil fuels and did not want to recognize the link between economic activity and global warming. Indeed, the company was a member of the Global Climate Coalition, a group of 50 corporations and trade association partly denying the global warming and struggling against reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for its potential negative consequences on industries' economic performances and employment. This coalition was developed after the United Nations created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1989 whose members were governments. GCC activities consisted in aggressive lobbying at international climate negotiation meetings raising concern about unemployment that would result from emissions regulations. It tried to influence journalists and had a great influence on US government, particularly in 1992 during the Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro. In 1997 it went as far as launching an advertising campaign in the United States in response to the international warming treaty against any agreement in favour of greenhouse gas emission. In 1997, BP changed drastically its position since it withdrew from GCC after BP's chairman announced to the world its decision to accept that climate change was occurring and its intention to get involved in reducing BP's contributions to it. He emphasised that the time to react was not once the link would be proven. This way, he totally broke with the oil industry's position on greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. Then, BP announced a strategy for reducing such emissions across the worldwide operations of the company. Policy options including energy taxes, carbon emissions trading, and joint implementations were proposed. BP began to form the contrarian position and decided to be an actor of change implementation in the environment field. The company invested in renewable energies and research to improve technologies and thus reduce energy consumption. BP is became a member of the pew research whose role consist in producing analyses of key climate issues, leading research on topics such as economic and environmental impacts and practical domestic and international policy solutions, informing policy makers and encouraging the business community to search for solutions. Then BP decided to improve its brand image focusing on its involvement in environmental issues and changing its name into "beyond petroleum" to claim its new position as an active player in the struggle against climate change and an involved company in the environmental stakes. It created BP alternative energy and is investing important amount of money in renewable energy. Many factors could have driven this strategy. First, the increasing pressure under the diverse industry put by environmental associations such as green peace in the 90s. Then, the dramatic break with other oil companies on the issue of global warming provided a diversion as well as a needed refurbishment for a reputation under attack on human rights grounds since in 1996 BP was accused of human rights violations in Colombia. With this first mover position, BP could earn a reputation of environmental friendly in a "diabolic" industry and gain a competitive advantage.
2- Evaluate the recent changes in the environmental strategy of BP from the point of view sustainability. How would you asses their beyond petrol campaign?
First of all, the scope of sustainability being very wide , it could be necessary to start from a definition of sustainability appropriate to the case in order to evaluate the changes in BP's environmental strategy. The features of sustainability are:

text: Democrats bracing for town hall protests directed at them ask Bernie Sanders for help: Some lawmakers have asked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to help keep activist anger trained on Republicans. O'Keefe, Ed; Weigel, David. The Washington Post (Online), Washington, Feb. 15 2017 Senior Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday sought to stave off town hall protests from their own party, asking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to reach out and urge activists to redirect their anger at Republicans instead of at moderate Democratic lawmakers. The request came in a weekly meeting of top Democratic senators, according to a senator in attendance, ahead of a congressional recess next week when lawmakers in both parties are expected to face large crowds stirred in recent weeks by President Trump's early executive actions and ongoing Republican attempts to revamp the Affordable Care Act. Over the past two weeks, crowds -- and conflict-hungry media crews -- have swarmed town halls and protested at congressional offices. Republicans have gotten the brunt of it, with several members escorted by police through lines of shouting protesters, and some caught scrapping or rescheduling public events or leaving out back doors to dodge angry activists. But protesters have also gathered in blue states, marching to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer's home in Brooklyn to demand the obstruction of Trump nominees, and showing up at the offices of safe-seat Democrats to demand that they filibuster Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. Such episodes spurred Democrats to ask Sanders for help, according to Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.), who attended the meeting on Tuesday. "They basically explained to Bernie, it looks like you could be the person that could calm down and make sure their energy and all this enthusiasm is directed in all the right proper channels," Manchin said. "Bernie has a voice, and if [protesters] want to be active, then direct them to where the problem may be or where they anticipate a problem." The intraparty drama puts top party leaders like Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a tricky political position. He can either fully embrace the far left and its rejuvenated activism -- and risk alienating moderate lawmakers and voters -- or push back too hard against the new activity and anger the party's base of support. The request to Sanders came during a meeting with Schumer and a leadership team that stretches the ideological spectrum of his caucus. In addition to Sanders, a self-described socialist, and the moderate Manchin, the group included Sens. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), among others. Manchin is among the most imperiled Democrats facing reelection next year -- one of five senators from states that Trump won in last year's presidential election. In total, 25 Democrats face reelection in 2018. Manchin insisted on Tuesday that the Democratic caucus is "unified in not wanting to repeal the Affordable Care Act. It's unified! So why would [protesters] spend any energy on any member who's already committed to that? They might not like those of us who come from other parts of the country that doesn't adhere to everything they say or want done, but on the big items, put your energy somewhere else. Bernie can deliver that message better than anybody else." In a statement, Sanders made no mention of the Democrats' request and did not deny that it happened, but he also said that he would keep lobbying for a measure that would make it easier to reimport cheaper prescription drugs from Canada -- an issue that has divided Democrats. Last month, when 12 members of the Senate Democratic caucus broke with Sanders, they took a larger-than-expected amount of friendly fire from progressive activists. "The good news is that during the budget debate, 34 Democrats voted with 12 Republicans to substantially lower the cost of prescription drugs through reimportation," said Sanders. "During the last several weeks, my office has been working hard with those Democrats who voted against this amendment to write a strong bill that they could support. We also will be working with Republicans who voted against the amendment." For the most part, Sanders has been working on projects to unite Democrats and progressives against Trump. Over the weekend, Sanders and Schumer announced a series of rallies against repeal of the Affordable Care Act, to be held on Feb. 25. Sanders's highest-profile speech during the coming recess will be in Kansas, which progressives have characterized as a model of Republican misrule. And Our Revolution, the group founded by Sanders in the wake of his 2016 presidential campaign, has not messaged against incumbent Democrats; its latest request for members, sent Tuesday morning, asked them to protest the upcoming meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that both men were "shamefully advancing bigoted agendas in Palestine and in the United States that are antithetical to peace, equality, justice, freedom, and all the values we stand for." On the broader left, Democrats have been fair game for activists and organizations trying to channel their anger with Trump. Organizers of "Resist Trump Tuesdays," a weekly effort loosely organized by the progressive Working Families Party, have appeared at Democrats' offices, demanded town hall meetings, and protested Democrats who have voted for Trump's Cabinet nominees. On Tuesday, a group of protesters in Maryland delivered "valentines" to the office of Sen. Benjamin Cardin (D-Md.), who is up for reelection in 2018, with questions about why he was agreeing to meet with Gorsuch, after many Republicans refused to meet with blocked Obama nominee Merrick Garland. They handed out candy hearts with slogans like "Filibuster Me" and "Be My Accountable Democrat," and a sign that read "Roses are red, violets are blue, supporting Trump's cabinet makes you guilty too." After Monday night's vote to confirm Steve Mnuchin as treasury secretary, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee urged its members to complain to Manchin, the one Democrat who supported Trump's nominee. "He voted with Wall Street and against working families. Can you call him right now to express disapproval of this vote?" PCCC asked in the email blast. "Sen. Manchin needs to hear from constituents that voting with Wall Street is the opposite of being 'independent.' It's favoring the big guys against the little guy. That's the opposite of what West Virginians need." Manchin said on Tuesday that he isn't worried about confronting progressive activists back home. "I'm not concerned about it at all. It is what it is. I love people to come and voice their thoughts," he said. But he urged progressives to be selective about when and where to speak out. "If they're coming to disrupt, make sure they're going to the people who are opposing what they're for," he said. "I think it's great. It's going to help us," Schumer said of the far left's renewed activism in a recent Washington Post interview. But he cautioned Democrats that the diverse political makeup of his caucus -- "from Bernie to Joe," as Schumer described it -- will sometimes require some Democrats to seek accord with Republicans, including Trump. "There should not be any animus to the people who are voting the other way because their states or conscience dictates it," Schumer said. "And that's what I've tried to make clear to our caucus." Republicans, meanwhile, are increasingly describing the town hall disruptions as fabricated. Rep. Jason Lewis (R-Minn.), a freshman whom Democrats have put near the top of their 2018 target list, recalled a conversation with a constituent who got him on the phone and demanded a town hall -- even after he answered her question. "You know that joke, 'I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out?' It's like, 'I went to a riot and a town hall broke out,' " said Lewis. "A lot of this is being organized by a number of outside groups. There's real concern in the district -- this is a big deal -- but there's a lot of astroturfing, too." At a meeting on Tuesday with reporters organized by the Heritage Foundation, Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) said that he'd seen ads on Facebook offering cash to people who showed up to protest Republicans. But Rep. Raul R. Labrador (R-Idaho) argued that the tea party movement's push into Republican districts -- activism that helped defeat several Republican members of the House and Senate in their primaries -- gave it credibility that the Democratic "resistance" so far lacks. "This was not some organic movement that went against Obama," said Labrador. "This was people who wanted their party to represent them. Democrats should want the same thing."

I know, it's Thursday and I shouldn't ever try to go back a day and make the week go by slower, but Wedding Thursday just doesn't have the same ring to it. Plus, I meant to post this on Wednesday but Tuesday was Sean's birthday and we went out to dinner and didn't get home until late. So please forgive me, and pretend you read this on Wednesday while still getting ready for the weekend since you are only one day away!
This weekend I will be attending a dear friend of mine's wedding. I am a bridesmaid, but won't be in a bridesmaid's dress so I had to come up with something fabulous to wear. I also have to incorporate one of the dresses I bought during the Endless Summer Lilly Sale….I went a little overboard, so I can't afford to go out and get an "appropriate" fall dress. I feel as though this is a situation that affects a lot of us out there when attending fall weddings. You want to wear something fun and happy because it's a wedding, but during the fall muted color and jewel tones are more appropriate. Well, lucky for you, I have devised an appropriate solution.
The dress below is the actual dress that I will be wearing to the wedding. It is the Lilly Posey dress, but it's unfortunately no longer available. However, it is a quintessential spring/summer dress, so please feel free to sub in a favorite dress of yours when using this outfit equation.
Since layering is what you do in the fall, I chose a navy outer layer to throw over the dress. A navy blazer is always a great basic piece to add to your wardrobe and would be great for a more formal wedding that is being held at a country club or ballroom. I love a cardigan, I throw them over everything and own them in every color. I prefer the longer boyfriend style as I have a long torso, and I think the silhouette looks better on me. I also think the longer cardigans are more versatile for outfit options. You can throw them over dresses, tuck them into skirts, or have them cover your modesty when wearing leggings. A cardigan would be better for a more semi-formal wedding at a museum or vineyard. A denim jacket is another great option especially for a casual wedding that is being held outside. The heavier weight of denim will keep you warm, and it will also keep you from being "that girl" that overdressed at a wedding (although, I believe it's better to overdress than underdress). Any of these options will work great with a spring printed dress, and can also be in any other neutral color that you prefer. Navy happens to look better on me than black or tan since I have a fairer complexion, and this is my outfit board so I get to choose what I want.
For shoes, I chose something that was close toed as I feel this takes that "spring look" out of the dress. However, chunky, strappy heels are very in for fall so definitely feel free to pick a shoe that makes you smile when you put it on. I love a wedge. They give you the height you want but have more support than a heel. A nude wedge will elongate your legs and they can literally be worn with everything from dresses and dress pants to boyfriend jeans. If you are feeling a bit more fashion forward and daring, booties are always hot for fall. I love this one with a metallic sole that adds a touch of glam and what girl doesn't love some glitz and glam when going to a wedding?!
Now which options will I be choosing? You will have to see next week when I post pictures from the actual wedding…..and I hope to have those up on the REAL Wedding Wednesday.
How do you like to style up a spring/summer dress so you can carry it over into fall and winter?

Woodford Investment Management just pumped £4m into London's crowdfunding platform Seedrs
London-based Seedrs, an active equity crowdfunding platform, has announced its £4m investment today (September 5) by Woodford Investment Management (Woodford).
The investment will be made through two Woodford-managed funds; Woodford Patient Capital Trust plc (WPCT) and Omnis Income and Growth Fund (Omnis).
This follows a £6m investment in Seedrs made by Woodford two years ago in 2015. In addition, Seedrs will conduct a crowdfunding campaign to give existing shareholders and new investors the opportunity to participate.
Jeff Kelisky, chief executive officer at Seedrs, commented: "We are thrilled to have Woodford leading the round with £4m, taking their total investment into Seedrs to £10m. The capital we are raising will allow us to deliver our next stage of growth.
"Equally important to everyone at Seedrs was gaining agreement that we could open up an amount for the crowd. We already have nearly 1,000 crowd investors following raises in 2013 and 2015 and many investors were disappointed to miss out on our last round."
This profit will value Seedrs at £40m on a pre-money basis, representing a 27.2 per cent increase in share price from the company's last fundraising in mid-2015 and a 135.9 per cent increase in share price from its late 2013 funding round.
The business is said to use the capital raised in this round to launch new product capabilties that will materially increase liquidity and return potential for businesses and investors, as well as build out increased sales and marketing efforts, and launch strategic partnerships.
Seedrs was named the most active investor in UK private companies by independent research agency Beauhurst, in February 2017. It also became the sole equity crowdfunding platform appointed to the Royal Bank of Scotland Capital Connections programme this year.

If you wish to lower stress, try to keep yourself busy and meet new and exciting people, then a hobby may be what you need. When thinking about what hobby to do, there is a lot of options out there. Come along on this journey as we search for your perfect hobby.
Maybe music would be the perfect hobby for you. You will have to determine which instrument you love best. You can then do your practice with a friend, or use online resources to help teach you. Start slow and practice when you can. You should be a lot better in no time.
If you turn a hobby into a type of business, set fair prices for the products. You need to be able to support yourself. Figure out what the costs involved are and charge more to make a profit.
Anyone looking to turn a hobby into a money making business needs to find a great name. Whatever name you select will be the start of your own brand. Keep in mind your name should not only be unique, but it should be memorable and easy to relate to your products.
Talk to others who share your hobby. It's best to extend your circle to new people. Your hobby may bore those around you who don't also enjoy it. Find others who share your interest in both virtual and real life communities.
Hiking is a great hobby that gets you out of the house and into nature while giving you exercise. You can find some paths in your neighborhood and start enjoying nature. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy in a scenic spot when you go hiking.
Surfing is a great choice if you are interested in hobbies that involve water. Surfing lessons are often cheap, and used boards are good for getting started. If you want to build your leg muscles, this is the way to do it!
Caving is an exciting hobby to discover, if you have caves near by. Having said that, it is vital that you are properly prepared for this. Guides can be useful when exploring a new cave.
Share your hobby. The random details are what makes life enjoyable. For example, your hobbies. Let others look at what you're collecting, making, or follow you. Let the world see what you are all about. You may be surprised at the doors it may open.
Calligraphy is a fun and fancy hobby. You do not need a lot of supplies, and the art form is quite relaxing. You can explore it yourself or take a class. Whatever you do, you will also improve your handwriting at the same time.
Do you like taking pictures? It's a simple hobby that the whole family can enjoy. Purchase a camera and allow your children to join in on the fun. You could be shocked with the photos you get. Make sure everyone gets a turn with the camera. Then you can sit back and review everyone's work.
Try to collect a certain item, whether it is dolls, coins, etc., as a hobby. The Internet has unlimited information about what things are worth, so you can collect the things that will result in the highest return. Check out sites like eBay and sell to your highest bidders.
Star gazing is a great hobby. Stargazing can be fun since you get a whole new view of outer space. It really makes you appreciate what's out there. You only need a telescope to see everything.
If you have a lot of fun with a particular hobby, ask someone you know to participate along with you from time to time. Even if you're just working with them a few times a month, this makes you take some time to do your hobby. Others will enjoy learning about your hobby, and it may even bring you closer to whomever you invited to participate.
Practice safety measures while cooking. Don't wear clothes that are too loose. Also, keep your hair tied back and wear an apron. Safety comes first when you work in the kitchen.
Be sure to acquire all of the things you need to maximize your enjoyment of your hobby. Failure to do so may mean not being able to fully engage in your hobby, doing it all the wrong way, or even putting yourself in harm's way. Research what others are using and be sure you have what you need.
Hobbies allow you to relax. If you can't determine which hobby suits you, consider looking online for ideas. Ask your peers about how much it costs, what the time dedication is and how hard it is, too.
Learn how to create a quilt. Making a quilt can be something that the whole family does together. Let your kids choose fabrics that they like. Scraps can come from a comfortable old shirt, other linens or swatches that you can get from a fabric store. Each family member can sew their choice into place.
Don't partake in a hobby that requires a huge upfront cost. If you spend too much on a new hobby, what if you don't like it? There are very few hobbies that require supplies that retain their resale value.
When your hobby is a passion, make it a career, too. If it is something you are expert at, such as gymnastics, you could become a coach. If your hobby is something you create, you could sell it online or in a store.
You can earn extra money with your hobby. When you enjoy what you do, working hard and dedicating time to is will be very rewarding. This is great for making extra cash. Look for some methods on monetizing your hobbies that you wish to take time to do more of.
There are endless hobbies that you can choose from. Take your time exploring several different hobbies, and keep your own preferences in mind when making your decision. When you select a pastime you love, your life will be more fun. Have fun.

High Frequency (HF) radio communications equipment.
For 40 years Barrett Communications has designed and manufactured reliable HF radio communications equipment. The advances in HF have made it an economically viable (free to air), easy to use, scalable solution for communications over short, medium and long ranges requiring no intervening infrastructure. Barrett's integrated HF radio systems provide secure, mission critical VOICE, DATA and E-Mail communications. These include currently deployed solutions for major Electric Grid and Power Transmission Agencies within the US. They enable seamless FALLBACK communications when other critical radio and/or telephone systems fail. Competitively priced, Barrett products are well known for their quality, reliability, and simple, intuitive operation.
Brands: Barrett Communications, secure communications, High Frequency, HF, voice, email, fax and data, vehicle tracking, fall back communications, emergency communications, emergency systems
The ability for electric grid operators to maintain command, control and communications in both natural and manmade disasters is critical. This need has been further heightened with the Presidential Directives from the White House issued over the last few years. These have been directed to electric power grid operators and other critical infrastructure industries to protect their operations.
Barrett Communications have been designing and manufacturing High Frequency (HF) radio products for 40 years and their solutions can provide an infrastructure independent fallback solution to maintain voice, email, fax and data communications within minutes of an event.
Barrett's SDR HF radio operates like the smart phones we are familiar with, and have pre-configured contact lists which can automatically select the best frequency to use therefore requiring minimal staff training to operate.
In 2014, Bonneville Power Authority (BPA) installed a Barrett HF Fallback communications system. BPA's service territory is subject to a number of signicant natural risks including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, severe winter weather and flooding, other potential threats to the system have been identied, including sabotage,accidents and terrorism.
BPA's existing voice and data administrative communications systems were highly dependent on connective infrastructure and line of sight radio communications. They were, therefore, subject to gaps in existing areas of coverage, and to potentially widespread degradation of the service during signicant disruptive events. Recognizing these gaps, BPA's Transmission Services Emergency Manager, Nelson King, obtained management approval to develop and implement an emergency HF radio communicationsystem.
HF radio is the one common operating platform that allows for instantaneous point to point and point to multipoint communications with no reliance on infrastructure. US Federal and State Governments have already allocated radio spectrum for this purpose, making HF radio a free to air communication system throughout the US with connection into all relevant agencies.
For further information on Barrett Communications and their HF fallback solutions visit stand 809 at DistribuTECH.
The Barrett 4050 HF SDR transceiver is the new centrepiece of the Barrett range of HF communications equipment.
It combines Software-Defined Radio technology with the intuitive "ease of use" that has become synonymous with the Barrett name.
When teamed with other Barrett HF products the versatile Barrett 4050 transceiver provides secure email, data transfer and telephone connectivity within a HF network and onwards to the international telephone network an internet.
Features include:-
The Barrett 2020 system is ideal for the provision of full and secure email and data transfer within organisations with remote-sited operations with no existing communications infrastructure.
The 2020 provides a simple automatic interface for speech, data transfer and email among all stations in the HF network with full connectivity to internet email via an HF gateway station. After the initial capital equipment cost, which is comparable or less than current satellite systems, there are no ongoing time charge costs for data transfer within the network.
The Barrett 2020 has been designed specifically for simple installation and ease of use. For the system administrator, a variety of automatic linking options and a link scheduler, fully interoperable with FED STD ALE and CCIR Selective Calling protocols, are available to provide a comprehensive and automated networking solution.
To the end user the 2020 system is transparent; emails are sent and received via the users own and familiar mail client software such as MS Outlook or any other common email program.
On air link protection is provided through user configurable DES Data Encryption with enhanced link security, ensuring secure communications between like coded stations.
The Barrett 2020 email system uses the advanced Clover 2000 and 2500 modems, employing the latest Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques which are specifically designed for HF operation. Modulation formats vary from simple robust two phase to multi-level differential phase four level amplitude modulation modes which combined with sophisticated compression algorithms within the Barrett 2020 operating software produce compressed on-air data rates in excess of 14400 bps*.

"One of the final rare dragons in the elemental lineage is the Wind Dragon. This massive winged beast is the fastest flying dragon available to each city.

Within its training camps you'll be able to raise the deadly flying Banshees to add to your aerial superiority."
Requirements to Build:
- Own a Wind Dragon Egg
- Level 12 Player
- Control a Plain
- Own a Fire Outpost
The Wind Dragon is a melee fighter and is compatible with melee troops.
For more information about this Dragon, please visit the link above.
When you have a Training Camp at level 10 you will be able to train Banshee. The Banshee is a strong speed fighter.
Each Banshee produced requires 1 Banshee Talon. These can be farmed from Level 7+ Savannahs and Anthropus Camps.
Fields built in the Outposts do not benefit from the production boost of wildernesses. Therefore, if you want to build up fields to produce more resources without using tons of idle population, you should level up the fields in your City and not build any in the Outposts.

The burrows were empty there.
The winds blew all the time
Howled at any passers-by who tried to cross the field.
The dog sat blind under the pole.
And the sun burning everything for revenge.
What happens when this day ends?
The world for them will not change,
They will age and rot when time slips away.
The young girl looked steadily away
From her windows to the vast endlessness,
Her dog did not return.
The leaves never turned green again, the tree dried.
The winds carried sand into her eyes and made her cry. Her two teeth that had come up now were the only sign of aging,
Yet she was so spotless.
She did not know what time did. She did not care.
She had a song to sing.
She waited for the time when she could,
She needed to grow up.
Only thing she did not realise was time demanded a lot. It took away everything in the end.
She would sing but at the cost of being alone.

Among those who are fighting to have Congress re-establish the military academy at West Point in the beginning of the nineteenth century is a young Washington socialite, Carolyn Bainbridge (Maureen O'Hara). Congress resolves to revive the Academy on a one-year trial basis. Major Sam Carter (Laird Cregar), a martinet who doesn't believe a college can produce real fighting men, is made the Commandant, and determines to make soldiers - or failures - out of the small band of cadets, by enforcing stringent disciplinary action. Among the cadets are Howard Shelton (John Sutton), Carolyn's fiancee, and Dawson (George Montgomery), a Kentucky frontiersman. There is bad blood between the two from the start, and matters are worsened when Dawson falls in love with Carolyn. Many of the cadets resign, under the discouraging conditions and grueling punishment that is part of Carter's plan to make the school hard and the exercises difficult, and the number of cadets left is down to ten. Word arrives that the Indian chief Tecumseh (Noble Johnson) has gone on the warpath, and Carter is ordered to take part in quelling the rebellion, and to include the cadets along with the regular Bombadiers. Shelton, on patrol, is shot at by an Indian, and hot-headedly leaves his post in pursuit. Dawson leaves to bring him back followed by Major Carter who is captured by the Indians. Using tactics learned at West Point, the small band of cadets attack and demoralize the much larger Indian force, and succeed in rescuing Carter, and Dawson is wounded. Carter is grateful for the actions taken by the band, but says that Shelton and Dawson cannot remain as cadets since they had violated the rules by leaving their posts, and would be a bad precedent for future cadets. Carolyn has come to the Point to marry the unsuspecting Dawson, who thought she loved Shelton.

Hello Allan.ReplyDelete
After seeing your kind invitation, I've just followed the link from FLW to your blog. Lots of interesting stuff here.
I'm terribly sorry to here about the various health problems and hope all goes well.
I haven't seen you since the C100 games at Paul's. That was a great weekend and I enjoyed meeting you and the other chaps very much. I do hope that we can meet up again before too long. I shall try to make time to visit this blog more often.
My very best wishes to you and your family.
From Sarah and myself in sunny Svenhasselstein.
What an interesting article, thank you. I'd like to think that Albert is considering the subject of the last paragraph, and is discussing how to go about playing a musical instrument while riding a cycle.ReplyDelete

Power Windows Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz
He's got another one just like it
Just like all his friends
His wife is playing tennis
And his kids are off at school
He drives home to his empty house
Sits by his empty swimming pool
But he's got power windows
He's got power brakes
He's got a power bed
Push a button and it shakes
He's got no one to talk to
And tears rolling down his face
He ain't got the power of love
The power of love
Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dart
Swears it's the statue of Mary
Keeps the car from falling apart
With Gracie right beside him
Sitting closer than a smile
She got her hand on his shoulder
He loves to drive and hold her
He's got no power windows
Got no power brakes
He ain't got no power nothing
But he got what it takes
He's got Gracie's arm around him
And a smile upon his face
He's got the power of love
He's got the power of love
Ain't that the power of love
He's got the power
The power of love
No air condition
No cellular telephone
He goes rumblin' down the highway
Listening to his AM radio
One arm out the window
And a smile upon his face
Makes you wonder how it got there
Till you see him look at Grace
He's got the power
Ain't that the power of love

We have met the enemy, and he is us. William Astore, in TomDispatch, lays out the truth about America's looking glass wars. Do read the whole thing, but to get you pulled in, I'll begin with an excerpt from Tom Inglehardt's introduction:
In the years since [9/11], in its global war on terror, the Pentagon has ensured that America's enemies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere have regularly been able to arm themselves with... well, not to beat around the bush, a remarkable range of U.S. weaponry. The latest such story: a report that in recent fighting around the city of Tal Afar, the Iraqi military recovered a U.S.-produced FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile and launcher from an Islamic State weapons cache. That's a weapon capable of taking out an M1 Abrams tank . . . .
Of course, when the American-trained, funded, and armed Iraqi army collapsed in the summer of 2014 in the face of relatively small numbers of ISIS fighters, that group took vast stores of U.S. weaponry and vehicles that they've used ever since. But that was hardly the end of it. The U.S. soon began retraining and rearming its Iraqi allies to the tune of $1.6 billion for "tens of thousands of assault rifles, hundreds of armored vehicles, hundreds of mortar rounds, nearly 200 sniper rifles, and other gear," much of which, a government audit found, the Pentagon simply lost track of. . . .Astore writes:
Similar stories could be told about Afghanistan, another country where U.S. weaponry has disappeared in remarkable quantities. (The Taliban, for instance, recently released a video of their fighters sporting weaponry normally used only by U.S. Special Operations personnel.) In short, the Pentagon has been arming itself, its allies, and its enemies in a profligate fashion for years now in its never-ending conflicts across the Greater Middle East and Africa.
Since the early 1990s, largely unconstrained by peer rivals, America's leaders have acted as if there were nothing to stop them from doing as they pleased on the planet, which, as it turned out, meant there was nothing to stop them from their own folly. We witness the results today. Prolonged and disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Interventions throughout the Greater Middle East (Libya, Syria, Yemen, and beyond) that spread chaos and destruction. Attacks against terrorism that have given new impetus to jihadists everywhere. And recently calls to arm Ukraine against Russia. All of this is consistent with a hubristic strategic vision that, in these years, has spoken in an all-encompassing fashion and without irony of global reach, global power, and full-spectrum dominance. . . .
Incessant warfare represents the end of democracy. I didn't say that, James Madison did.
I firmly believe, though, in words borrowed from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, that "only Americans can hurt America." So how can we lessen the hurt? By beginning to rein in the military. A standing military exists -- or rather should exist -- to support and defend the Constitution and our country against immediate threats to our survival. Endless attacks against inchoate foes in the backlands of the planet hardly promote that mission. Indeed, the more such attacks wear on the military, the more they imperil national security.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, no big surprise, parliament has condemned the upcoming Kurdish independence referendum.
Israel seems to be the only regional power that supports Kurdish independence.
Iraqi forces prepare to retake IS-held town of Anah in Anbar.
In what is likely a symbolic gesture, but giving credit where it's due, Sen. Rand Paul wants to end the congress to sunset the Authorization to Use Military Force which is the legal fig leaf underlying the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to vote on ending the U.S. military commitment in those countries.

What is certain by cons is that it will be possible to play up to four players in split screen!
