At times you want to be clearly visible. Just think about running in the dark. This is the running light of the wholesaler. It is a chest lamp that, thanks to the adjustable strap, is suitable for everyone and fits comfortably. The running light has two light sources: a white chest lamp and a red lamp on the back. It is good to know that you can easily charge the running light yourself via USB. The charging time is about 5 hours and you can then enjoy 2 to 5 hours of fun, depending on the position of the lighting.
This running light from the wholesaler is suitable for all circumstances because there are 3 options for the brightness: dimmed, full and flashing. As a result, the chest lamp will keep your visibility to other road users optimally even in poor visibility. Furthermore, the chest is suitable for camping, because you also have a good view in the dark when using this breast lamp. This running light is multifunctional and contributes to a high degree to your personal safety
The running light contains a large white chest lamp and a smaller red triangle for the back. This way other road users can always see you well, whether they approach you from the front or from the rear. The chest lamp is suitable for both men and women.

Programs & Services
FGIS was created by Congress in 1976 to manage the national grain inspection system, which was initially established in 1916, and to institute a national grain weighing program. Today FGIS facilitates the marketing of U.S. grain and related products by establishing standards for quality assessments, regulating handling practices, and managing a network of Federal, State, and private laboratories that provide impartial official inspection and weighing services.
Under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) and the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA), FGIS:
- Establishes and maintains official U.S. grain standards for barley, canola, corn, flaxseed, oats, rye, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower seed, triticale, wheat, mixed grain, rice, and pulses;
- Inspects and weighs grain and related products for domestic and export trade;
- Establishes methods and procedures, and approves equipment for the official inspection and weighing of grain; and
- Supervises the official grain inspection and weighing system. The official system is a network of FGIS field offices, and State and private grain inspection and weighing agencies across the nation that are authorized by FGIS to provide official inspection and weighing services.
- Provides international services and outreach programs and protects the integrity of the official inspection system and the market at large to ensure markets for grain and related products are fair and transparent
FGIS and the official agencies that comprise the official system provide services under both the USGSA and the AMA on a fee basis for both export and domestic grain shipments.
In 2001, GIPSA established a biotechnology reference laboratory at its Technical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Working with grain handlers, test manufacturers, and life science organizations, GIPSA is facilitating the marketing of U.S. grains and oilseeds by ensuring the availability of reliable tests.
Equipment Approved for use in the Official Inspection System must meet the requirements, as prescribed, in Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 and 801 under the U.S. Grain Standards Act and/or in Title 7 of the CFR, Part 868 under the Agricultural Marketing Act.
Commodity Image Gallery
GIPSA's commodity images are public domain and may be freely used, duplicated, or distributed. Publication of these images should credit "USDA-GIPSA".
International Service Program
GIPSA personnel participate in a variety of international assistance programs at the request of U.S. exporters, international importers and end users of U.S. grains and oilseeds, as well as other USDA agencies, USDA Cooperator organizations, and other governments.
Inspection & Weighing Services
The basic services available from the official inspection and weighing system fall into four broad categories:
- Sampling
- Weighing
- Inspection
- Stowage Exams
Proficiency Program
GIPSA offers a Proficiency Program for testing of biotechnology-derived grains and oilseeds. The purpose of this program whose is to help those organizations testing for biotechnology-derived grains and oilseeds improve their testing capability and reliability.
Officical Service Providers
The official grain inspection and weighing system is a unique partnership comprised of Federal, State, and private partners serving customers across the Nation. Our State and private partners are authorized by GIPSA to provide official inspection and weighing services to the domestic and export grain trade on our behalf.
Tke Program
Since the early 1990's GIPSA has responded to the need for fast, reliable testing for mycotoxins in grains and oilseeds. Since the program's inception the needs of the industry have changed and the expansion of testing to include additional mycotoxins as well as biotechnology-derived traits in grains and oilseeds was warranted.
Quality Program
The Federal Grain Inspection Service's (FGIS) quality control program involves correlating front-line inspectors to our standard references located at the FGIS Technology and Science Division's Board Of Appeals and Review (BAR) in Kansas City, Missouri.
Grading Procedures
Inspection for grade involves analyzing the sample according to the quality factors listed in the Official U.S. Standards for Grain and certifying the applicable numeric grade designation, the quality factors responsible for the grade assignment, and any other quality factors the customer requests.
Moisture Measurement
Moisture meters are used to determine the amount of moisture within grain presented for sale, a critical assessment of quality that affects the value and storability of the grain.
GIPSA has implemented a program to verify the performance of rapid tests for mycotoxins in grains. Please refer to GIPSA Directive 9181.2 for information on the Performance Verification of Qualitative Mycotoxin and Biotech Rapid Test Kits.

Rosé 2014
60% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier
The weather throughout the 2014 growing season was excellent. An early spring and warm summer gave the grapes longer to ripen on the vine, producing wines with greater depth and intensity.
A delicate copper pink colour, with hints of summer fruits and honey on the nose. Bold red berry and cherry flavours on the palate together with refreshing citrus notes and a long finish.

San Jose Operation Snags More Than One Dozen Unlicensed Operators
CSLB sets sights on the underground economy in two-day sting/sweep
SACRAMENTO — The Contractors State License Board's (CSLB) Statewide Investigative Fraud Team (SWIFT) netted 14 suspects in a San Jose undercover sting operation this week. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's office assisted in the December 7, 2010 sting and a sweep of construction sites on December 8, which resulted in one citation for contracting with an expired license and another for failure to carry workers' compensation insurance.
"In today's economy, it's more important than ever for consumers to hire licensed and insured contractors," said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. "People put themselves and family members at risk when they hire unlicensed and uninsured individuals who can end up doing substandard work or never finish the job. They also cheat law-abiding licensees out of work."
During the sting operation, SWIFT investigators posed as homeowners seeking bids for painting, landscaping, concrete, and roofing jobs. Suspects who bid more than $500 for labor and materials received a notice to appear (NTA) in court. California law requires all home improvement jobs valued at more than $500 to be undertaken by a licensed contractor. Contractors also must place their state contractor license number in all advertisements. Unlicensed individuals may advertise and accept jobs valued at less than $500, but their ads must state that they are not a licensed contractor.
CSLB licensees must have at least four years of journey-level experience in their license classification and must pass exams pertaining to their trade and state contracting laws. State law requires that licensees purchase a license bond for consumer protection and that their employees have workers' compensation coverage to shield homeowners from liability. Roofing contractors (C-39) must purchase workers' compensation for themselves, even if they do not have employees.
Suspects who received NTAs will be arraigned in Santa Clara County Superior Court at 200 West Hedding Street on February 7, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
CSLB urges consumers to remember the following tips when hiring a contractor:
- Verify the contractor's license by checking online at www.cslb.ca.gov, or via CSLB's automated phone system at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752).
- Ask to see the person's identification to make sure you are dealing with the correct individual.
- Don't pay more than 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less. There is an exception to this for about two dozen contractors who purchase special bonds that are noted on CSLB's website.
- Don't pay in cash, and don't let the payments get ahead of the work.
- Check references, and get at least three bids and a written contract before your project begins.
- Make sure your contractor obtains the necessary building permits for any project. If you are unsure of these requirements, contact your local building department.
The Contractors State License Board operates under the umbrella of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. More information and publications about hiring contractors are available on the CSLB website or by calling 800-321-CSLB (2752). You can also sign up for CSLB e-mail alerts at www.cslb.ca.gov. CSLB licenses and regulates California's more than 300,000 contractors, and is regarded as one of the leading consumer protection agencies in the United States. In fiscal year 2009-10, CSLB helped recover nearly $42 million in ordered restitution for consumers.

Could My Corneal Flap Become Loose?
It is very, very rare for the corneal flap to loosen after the Laser Eye Surgery. In cases where loosening has occurred, it generally has happened overnight after the actual treatment. Certainly periods of longer than that, a week after the surgery, a month, three months after the surgery, these cases are extremely rare and generally the patient has undergone some form of heavy trauma to the eye, which has resulted in not only the flap moving but more than likely to cause the flap to move and would have resulted in a lot more damage to other structures in the eye at the same time.
Corneal Flap Complications Explained Further…
The corneal flap attaches to the rest of the cornea by a hinge. So there is no chance of losing it. However, if you rub your eye shortly after surgery, you may dislodge the corneal flap. Your surgeon would then have to reposition the corneal flap in the operating room. Very rarely, the microkeratome instrument will cut a free cap, without a hinge. This affects about one in 1,500 cases. If this happens, the surgeon will replace the cap after the laser part of the procedure. We will tell you this has happened and warned to take extra care not to rub your eye soon after surgery, to reduce the risk of losing the free cap. Even in the days when surgeons did surgery without a hinge, it was extremely rare for anyone to lose the part of the cornea that a surgeon had cut and replaced.
If your cap was lost, your cornea would become thinner, and there would be a chance of scarring. Overall, your vision would still probably be quite good, although surgeons consider this a serious complication. There is a very remote possibility that you would need a corneal transplant.
Mr Carp explains how rare it is for the corneal flap to become loose as a result of Laser Eye Surgery.

Spring Cleaning Is A Breeze When The Professionals From Handy Do The Work
When the winter season is ending and spring is just beginning, the time is just right for spring cleaning. Since springtime is widely believed to symbolize freshness and rebirth, it is only fitting that this time of the year be designated for doing top-to-bottom cleaning of peoples' homes.
After a long winter, any living space can become stale and dusty. When a spring cleaning is performed, one of the objectives is to thoroughly clean areas of the home that might not get cleaned on a regular basis.
It can be quite a chore to do a comprehensive cleaning of one's home. It's easy to have big goals when it comes to spring cleaning, but in actuality, the amount of time and effort that is required can be somewhat daunting.
That is why it's so good to know about Handy, the home cleaning services platform (handy.com) that matches customers who are seeking household services with pre-screened professional service workers in their local areas.
When you receive a home cleaning through Handy, the professional workers clean the living room and common areas, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. All accessible surfaces are dusted and all floor surfaces are cleaned. Stoves, ovens and refrigerators are wiped down, mirrors and glass fixtures are cleaned, and they even take out the garbage and recycling.
The rates charged by Handy are very reasonable, the service professionals are insured and background-checked, and they even offer a money-back guarantee.
With the high quality cleaning work that Handy provides, it makes spring cleaning time a lot easier for renters and homeowners. By downloading the Handy App, the appropriate service provider can be booked quickly, and the customer will have more time to enjoy the springtime.
Besides home and office cleaning services, Handy also provides services such as TV mounting, hanging pictures and shelves, toilet repair, interior painting, furniture assembly, ceiling fan repair and more. It is so true that professional thesis writers could have so much with them than any other thing people has been talking about which is fine too.

NBC's Brian Williams- "US Rangers Are Like Terrorists"
Newsbusters has this stunning blurb of NBC's Brian WIlliams comparing Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces to Islamic terrorists!
From Hardball with Chris Matthews:
Brian Williams [appearing from London's Heathrow airport]: "And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one's own life — I always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They're called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. So we have players like that on our team."
To disillusioned asshats in the mainstream news, "One man's terrorist will forever be another man's freedom fighter." …Sick!

Who In Their Right Mind
Dec. 1, 2011, Below Freezing
Clouds hide the milky way's stars.
Why would anyone in their right mind
awaken at 4 am, turn on
the porch light, to watch December's
first snowflakes swirling —
Look, footprints in the snow.
Who in their right mind, shivering,
at 7:30, carries a bucket of water
to the heated bird fountain
so the wintering robins can drink —
Bare-branched trees point skyward.
Who in their right mind awaits
the noonday sun to peak through to
remind himself, we are not the center
of this universe.

Book Review
Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church
Wes Roberts and Glenn
Marshall have written a
thought-provking book
on the church for the twenty-first century. Amidst the challenges of
post-modernism and the trend towards the so-called "seeker sensitive"
mega-churches, authentic Christianity remains an elusive goal.
and Marshall discuss the values driving the expectations and designs of
the various modern church models.
From the foreword by Larry Crabb:
I once gave up on Christianity as I knew it and discovered Christainity as the Spirit reveals it. I'm now giving up on church as I've experienced it and looking for church as the Spirit designed it.
Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church is bringing the picture into focus and creating enough hope to keep me looking. If, like me, you want to trade in illusion for reality, if you're a pastor or church leader or hungry Christian who loves the church and longs to participate in authentic community led by people who are more broken than confident and more Spirit-dependent than naturally talented, if you desire to see the church reformed into a place where character counts more than credentials, where life is lived in humble trust rather than by careful method, where organic growth matters more than organizational growth, where serving nudges aside controlling, then glance at the chapter titles of this book.
Though the book at times is critical of big-church
dynamics, it is
careful not to lump all big churches into one category. The authors
speak to the reality that trends towards bigger churches, more
"effective" programs, slicker presentations, and the like, often
obscure the central point of biblical Christianity-- that Christians
are broken people who have been redeemed. A lost and hurting world
doesn't need bigger mega-churches, but the gospel lived out in lives of
individuals. The church doesn't need to build large organizations (and
succumb to all the value-shifts that are a part of that), but rather it
can flourish as an authentic, Spirit-directed faith community. In a
nutshell, the glory of the gospel isn't in Christendom (the fading
identification of Christianity with the dominant culture) or the large
church organizations and buildings that are currently in vogue (though
they aren't absolutely bad or wrong), but rather in the transformed
lives of individual believers and churches that bring the transformed
life to the forefront.
As Crabb suggests in the foreword, the chapter titles
are worthwhile:
The authors don't come out and say, "do it this way or
else you're
wrong." But their focus is to encourage Christians to see how God has
always worked, and will still work, through the things that often seem
unattractive or unpopular about the church in our day. It is a
thoughtful discussion of
topics of interest to everyone strategizing "now what" for the
Christian faith.

text: Nitz 11 Posted May 24, 2018 So, as a follow-up the e-mail I sent last week asking for advice with my first run out of the Morts, I thought I'd put some of my initial thoughts out. I know you're all dying to hear thoughts and reflections from a guy with 5 Mortician games under his belt, but I figure if people took time to response I should take time to post and it might give you a little trip down memory lane when you were a young, fresh-faced morts player with totally skewed thoughts and ideas. First off, I went 1-3 and dropped after the fourth round. There was a 5th round, but by that time is was 8:30 and night, and although I was actually excited to play again, I had buddies playing in other tournies who had waited for me to go get dinner, so I had to bow out. I lost my first three games, so no doubt I was wading in shallow water. That said, my first two games were against Corsair fish, and I lost both 10-12. In the second game, I was one activation away (which might as well be an eternity) from winning, as he got the takeout before I could to win it. So, not horrible for literally my first full 4 games with the guild. Game three was vRage Union. I'm not good enough to know if that's a bad match-up, but it didn't feel good. Mist was giving him major goal threats, and the rest of his team was pretty stompy. I lost 2-12, but have to confess that of all my games on the weekend, my heart was just not in it. I bounced back with a win in Round 4 against Balista Engineers. Oh, for your knowledge my 10 was 8 - Obulus, Dirge, Vileswarm, oGraves, Ghast, Casket, Cosset, Brainpain (Memory). That's what I had assembled and partially painted. With that, I present things I learned. I am fully aware that I have a super limited sample of games, I'm likely not even able to see optimized play on the horizen, and some of these thoughts on based on wading into the kiddy pool until I was almost on dry land. * Obulus is a lot of fun. Scoring goals, bringing people into the murder zone, and just generally threatening to be a jerk is all very fun. I know conventional wisdom is to save his feat as the threat of it is almost a feat in itself. I felt like I was able to do that fairly well. One time I popped it to grab 9 MOM. Another time I used it for the first activation goal when Obi was all by himself. Those felt good, and I definitely enjoyed the psychological games he plays with the opponent. * Brainpan and Memory are actually kind of newb friendly I was worried about them being too much, but the truth is I remembered to dance the puppet way more than I thought. Now I'm not sure I used them the most effectively, but honestly, the ability to reposition the puppet two inches every activation (friendly) was awesome. My spatial awareness of where fights would exactly happen still isn't great, so being able to dodge in for the critical crowd outs and assists (the names always escape me) was awesome. The no VP death meant I was willing to be uber agressive with Memory. I even got a long range goal with the duo in one game. I also liked that even with 0-1 influence, they could be doing something valuable * I really liked having models that I could give 1 influence to and still feel like they provided value. oGraves with one influence felt very good with his 2 inch melee zone and ability to give Tooled up to someone. He could also use the 1 INF to sprint or even attack if the situation drastically changed. I never really used him much outside of that role, but again, that's probably where my skill cap needs to increase. Brainpan also felt pretty good with 0-1 b/c the puppet kept doing work by getting where I needed. * speaking of doing work with 1 INF, I realize I'm probably wrong here, but I didn't mind Vile swarm at all. putting 1 influence on and using that to charge a human felt pretty good. I only played him with the full morts once, but used him in four games of the Homelands Cup (forgot my Princess and wanted to practice the morts I could). I never gave him a buff, but the ability to put rabid animal up on someone with with one influence was great. I really messed up an Ox activation with that. I also lived the dream in the one Mort game I brought him where I had oGraves tool himself up, and go scything blow 3 union models, and a damaged Vile Swarm, who then exploded, dropping 7 damage on all the Union guys. * that said, the Bird isn't bad either. I didn't get much singled out placed, as giving the bird two feels terrible. However, the ability to fly 10 inches to get crowd outs or engaged counter charge models is really good. Obviously I ran cosset in every game, so the bird also is very nice with her around. I'm not sure it's necessary, but it is really good. * Cosset was good and fun, though I've definitely experienced the first-time gamblers curse with her: that being the fella who goes the casino for the first time and pulls $200 out of the slots or off the blackjack table, and then just assumes that's how gambling works. My first game I was able to pull Kraken into a massive Morticians murder ball, and then throw a tooled up Cosset at him on the charge. She wrapped 3 times and did something like 16 damage to his tough hide self. She never did too bad for me, as most times I was able to disengage her and get the furious charge off, but I was giving her 2 INF most turns. I never once used Lure, so definately going to have to figure that out. * I experienced the full gut punch that is the missed obulus bonus-timed, tap-in goal to win. That was brutal. Thank goodness I was able to get a casket time off the next turn to get the win. Obulus also had a huge miss in my blow-out loss to the Union where he missed a 4 die puppet strings on 3's. That seems like it's going to be pretty hard to come back from. Once I scored with Obulus, I rarely dodged him back, opting instead to keep pressure on the goal. I think that is the right mindset, but the dodge back to the middle of the field keeps him pressuring, but still relevant. * My line-up felt a little light on point generation, sort of like my pre-errata hunters, but not as bad. Getting to 8 points was very doable, but seemed to take a lot of clock, and then finding the last four points felt a bit hard. I played to clock a lot. On one hand, I was pretty inexperienced and that slows you down. On the other, I also felt my decision making was fairly quick since I was expecting to not do super well, and thus not overanalyzing and anguishing on each decision. So, that's it. Had a TON of fun with my morts. Really liked them. Excited to play them more, and certainly to refine my thoughts from above. will keep painting, and was able to pick up Silence and vHemlock this weekend. Also plan to add the rats soon. 6 Warpstoned, Gorbad, The Old Buzzard and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, the gifts come after the holidays.
Like a brand new but extremely limited-edition e-store from one of our favorite suitmakers.
They're called Suitsupply, and their new online-only outlet is available now … but only for a moment. We're talking all a man's dressing staples at one-third of the price.
We're already big fans of Suitsupply. Think of them as the confident man's place for all things wearable and refined. Their new online outlet promises "last season's last pieces" for about a third to half the price (to access, you'll need to use the code "BETHEFIRST").
It's all there: suits, pants, dress shirts, sweater, socks, scarves, even accessories like leather cufflink cases, laptop sleeves and travel wallets.
The caveats: limited sizes available (especially with shoes). All the sales are final. Most everything is a slim fit.
And the outlet, as a Suitsupply rep tells us, will only stay live until the items sell out.
Until then, there's some fantastic stuff here in the low-three digit range. Including:
The Copenhagen Blue Plain Suit | ($249)
A slim fit, casual two-button suit, cut from pure washed cotton by Larusmiani and featuring a thin notch lapel and a relaxed, natural shoulder. Relaxed and casual, and works really well as separates. Not for the office. Keep it to the weekend.
Rust Shawl Collar | ($59)
A slim five-button cardigan made of wool and supersoft mohair. Works equally well with a shirt/tie/trousers trifecta as it does a white t-shirt and dark denim combo. Plus: it's ribbed for your pleasure.
Grey Cargo Pants | ($69)
Yes, cargo pants are a thing again ... but they need to be slim. They call this the "Tokyo fit" – impeccably tailored, super versatile, possibly good for karate.
Orange Washed Shirt | ($49)
This slim button-up features an extreme cutaway collar and thin-check pattern with overlapping wide bands of blue. Lightweight and comfy but with some rustic punch — like a cowboy at the beach.

After featuring
a story behind a gravestone in a previous newsletter, this is a
less sombre story which focuses on a wedding, one of whose
participants had achieved fame in North
America. As part of some research for a future
Occasional Paper on the history of
Castle since the Civil War, Tricia Hill
looked at St Mary's Marriage Register to find marriages
performed by the Revd Basil Bury Beridge who became a tenant of Tickhill Castle
in 1767 and occasionally stood in for Tickhill's vicars over the
following 14 years. On 30 March 1772 the Revd Beridge officiated
at the marriage of Henry Gladwin of Wingerworth, Derbyshire, and
Frances Beridge of Tickhill, one of the witnesses being Basil
Beridge's wife Dorothy.
This basic
entry in the Marriage Register started a search to find out who
the bride and groom were and what their relationship might be to
Basil and Dorothy Beridge. The Revd Beridge's will confirmed
that Frances was his sister, actually his step-sister, as his
mother had died aged 26 after giving birth within a few years to
three sons. His father remarried and Frances and a son John,
later a physician in
Derby, were born. An internet search,
with which Margaret Jones helped, found that Mrs Dorothy Beridge
née Gladwin was Henry's sister. The wedding must have been a
very happy family occasion. The only title listed against
Henry's name in the Register is 'esquire', but he had held the
rank of Major then Lieutenant Colonel by virtue of promotion
following his efforts in North America
in the previous decade. He later attained the rank of Major
General. Henry is remembered in particular in Detroit. He led the successful defence of Fort
Detroit, where he was commandant,
when under a sustained siege from May to October 1763 by Chief
Pontiac and several hundred Native Americans. As a result, Henry
is commemorated in the naming of
Gladwin County and Gladwin
City, for example, in Michigan.
portrait showing him in a red military uniform is in the Detroit
Institute of Arts and can be seen on their website <http://www.dia.org>.
The DIA also had a portrait of Henry's wife Frances, but this
painting was deaccessioned in 1998 and the DIA has no record of
what happened to it. Possibly it did not match the then concerns
of art historians but it is something of a loss for those
interested in social and local history. A 1915
History of Michigan states that the portrait shows Frances to be 'a
handsome woman'. We also know what Dorothy and Basil Beridge
looked like. Their portraits were painted by Joseph Wright of Derby, an acquaintance of John Beridge.
Dorothy's portrait is now in Minneapolis
and Basil's is in
Vienna. It is hoped that copies of both
portraits will be included in the Occasional Paper on
After their
marriage Henry and Frances settled on the Gladwin family estate
at Stubbing Hall near
and raised a family of eight daughters and one son. Henry's
military career was then focussed on the
militia. His wealth came in part from family land holdings in
Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
Henry died in 1791 and his sister Dorothy the following year.

Inter-project games will start at 13:00 in Lee Kong Chian Gardens School (LGS) next door. The pairings for the games are as follows:
RO + Guilly
We hope to see all projects there!
MYG Challenge Q&A:
What is this MYG Challenge?
It is a restructured series of our usual inter-project VA activities targeted at encouraging mingling and bonding between volunteers of MINDS MYG projects.
What is in it for us as volunteers?
The Challenge is meant to provide a platform for friendly competition among our volunteers without having to bring our clients into the picture. However, to stay relevant to us being a part of MYG which includes our valued clients, we're in the midst of getting MINDS' assistance in lining up prizes. Based on availability and also the eventual rankings of our projects, prizes will be awarded to share with clients during project sessions.
What are the pairings about?
Each leg of the Challenge (and we are planning 3) will see our 10 (8+2 autonomous) projects drawn into 5 pairs randomly. This is the furthest attempt we as organisers will take (as of now) to encourage inter-project mingling. Each game will see two projects contributing to the team representing them. Of course, we encourage further mingling while you're there!
How are the points tabulated?
Being the maiden 'season' of this restructured Challenge aiming to inject some continuity in future, the scoring system is still under testing. Each project will have points awarded during every leg of the Challenge, paired with different projects, over the year. The score for each project will be summed up at the end of the year. Each Win gives 20 points, each Draw 15, and every Loss 10.
How often are these legs held?
We will have one activity per quarter. The first was a low-key introduction of this Challenge in May and the last activity was MYG Bowling last quarter. Depending on the organising group each year, the activities may differ year to year.
How do I participate in MYG Challenge?
Just sign up with your respective project!
Any queries, feel free to send me an email.

Time : 1630-2100 hrs
Venue: One Fullerton Rooftop
A special event organised annually by Terra Hope (TH) Project. This was the first time that this event was upgraded to inter-project level, as TH invited RO, AMK, CW and EP projects, bringing a total of 200 trainees, caregivers and volunteers to One Fullerton Rooftop. TRACE stands for TH, RO, AMK, CW and EP collectively.
The location of the rooftop was simply awesome, allowing a superb view of the Marina Bay area and NDP platform, keeping all of us busy clicking our cameras. We had a great time soaking ourselves in the pre-National Day celebration, enjoying the parachute display by the Red Lions, flag-carrying Chinook accompanied by Apache helicopters and the aerial display of F15 fighter planes. With the million-dollar-view of the spectacular fireworks lighting up the whole sky, excitement and happiness were written over the faces of our participants. Our trainees obviously enjoyed themselves, as their jubilation lasted long after the fireworks display.
A Big Thank You to our Sponsor: The Fullerton Heritage for generously providing the venue!

Lions typically prefer wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, and warthogs on their dinner menu in Africa, and they usually hunt in coordinated groups. But every once in a while a lion will discover a tasty morsel it can handle on its own.
Such was the case of this lioness along the Chobe River in Botswana. It didn't need help sneaking up on and snatching a small crocodile. The hardest part was keeping it away from two other hungry lions. Clearly this lioness did not want to share, as this rare video by safari tourist Tanya M reveals. Watch:

How Col-R-Tel Works, Part 4
Col-R-Tel Motor-Control Section
Speed converter. Through the laws of unequal pulleys, the motor develops enough torque to spin the disc. The wheel pulley (2-7/8 inches ID) is much larger than the motor pulley (1 inch ID). According to Cliff, the motor-to-wheel pulley ratio isn't quite 1:2.875. Cliff estimates that the design allows about 8 rpm for slippage. To develop the normal disc speed of 600 rpm, the motor must turn at 1725 rpm. That is...
(600 * 2.875) = 1725
[ (1750 - 1725) / 2.875 ] = 8.7 Hz (rounded)
Composite. The sensor on the block diagram is actually the commutator. As we said above, this commutator is a composite. It includes the 12 switch contacts inside the commutator. six contacts sync the disc to the TV station's vertical signal. The remaining six contacts each select one of three color subcarrier phases: Red, blue or green. The picture tube illuminates one disc (wheel) wedge at a time. The commutator mounts mechanically to the color wheel. For this reason, the commutator always selects the phase that corresponds to the illuminated disc wedge.

It is the right time to get busy with this fantastic natural remedy
The Good Life Letter
5th February 2017
- Find out why this natural compound demands a competent detective
- This discovery means that time has not been wasted
- The Manuka honey that makes the grade, on all fronts
Today I want to concern myself with a much more pleasant subject in fact one of my favourites, Manuka honey.
For the last decade I have been on a voyage of discovery about this amazing, beneficial and truly delectable natural product and I would like to share some of those stories with you today.
In the early years I thought I needed to find the honey with the highest UMF rating (Unique Manuka Factor) to ensure I was getting the best product I could, the one that would be the most potent natural remedy.
You see I knew that this ancient compound was just about the best natural anti-biotic, anti-viral and anti-fungal remedy I could find, and I reasoned that if I opted for the big numbered UMF variety I would be turbo-charging these beneficial effects.
This was my first mistake.
I discovered that the UMF rating is not linked to healthy properties at all, nor is it a sign of purity in the honey. In fact, many of the high value honeys being sold for large money in the UK are a blend of Kanuka (a distant relative of the Manuka bush) and other cheaper honeys in some cases even sugar syrup is used.
You see the test that is done to come up with this number is just a system to protect the honey from suppliers who are part of a commercial organisation a way to stop other smaller producers from getting their product recognised unless they pay the fees to the organisation which controls it.
So I quickly came to the conclusion that the UMF was not a sign of quality at all if anything I would just be paying for a name rather than certified good honey.
How you can be sure of the very best Manuka Honey click here
The secret is to go raw... and get pure
Next I looked to find the special quality I desired and thought that you, the readers, deserved, by talking to some folk in the know The New Zealand Honey Association.
They told me about a few small producers who were producing some exceptionally good and pure honey, but importantly they told me about the benefits of raw honey.
It was something I hadnt considered before, but the closer the honey is in consistency, content and colour to how it was in the hive means that it will be much more potent.
I was told how most of the big producers, and many of the other commercial organisations, overheat the honey to make it flow through pipes easier and therefore get into the jars quicker.
However, if the honey is heated above the level it was kept in the hive it quickly deteriorates and much of the valuable micro-nutrients within it are denatured, hence many of its properties are destroyed.
Finally, they told me that if a honey is put through too many sieving processes it loses important components like pollen, longer chain honey proteins and Propolis again not good if you want a healing honey.
It became clear that what we needed was a raw and pure honey, and one that had been treated with respect and care throughout its processing and production.
And I wanted to know how to ensure that the honey we were buying was indeed real Manuka rather than an expensive imitation, and that was where the final part of the jigsaw dropped into place.
You see I found that my thinking was being confused by the newspaper hype who were telling us that criminals had been counterfeiting Manuka to fleece the British buyers, and whilst this is a concern and needs to be addressed there is also something natural occurring
bees spend a lot of time foraging for nectar in order to make their honey and they are not confined to one variety of flower from which to do so, hence if the hives are not sited in an area where there are only Manuka bushes then the honey can be a natural mix of nectars.
This set me off on my final task where could I find a producer who located their hives where only Manuka bushes were in flower at the times the bees were active, and harvested the honey before any other plants developed.
This long journey led me to the perfect honey, one that was not heated, had not been filtered too finely and most importantly where the producer ensured purity and even checked the pollen in the finished product to prove it.
Discover the rawest, purest and most effective Manuka honey available
The amazing healing power found in every jar
I sometimes get carried away just with the taste of this fantastic honey, and I forget that it is also one of the most ancient and effective remedies; something that was regularly buried with the Pharaohs to care for them in the afterlife.
Recent research has shown that good quality Manuka honey can be effective in treating:
Bacterial infections from E.Coli (the commonest form of hospital acquired infections)(1)
Major skin problems such as burns, ulcers and wounds(2)
Long term digestive and gut upsets which are often the result of bacterial imbalance(3)
Conditions caused by inflammation such as helping reduce the incidence of, and the symptoms from, asthma and rhinitis(4)
The effects and impact of common colds, flu and viral chest infections(5)
Conditions which modern antibiotics cant cope with or where resistance has developed such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)(6)
We are never without honey in our home both to enjoy as a natural sweetener and as a valuable and effective addition to our medicine chest.
Having carried out the years of research into this vital yet rare commodity I am confident that our chosen Manuka will not let you down.
Choose the honey that ticks all the boxes Pure and Raw Manuka Honey
Yours, as always

Burmese Crepes | Ah-Boh
Burmese Crepes | Ah-Boh is :
dairy free , lacto ovo vegetarian , veganBy Leites Culinaria
baking soda
coconut milk
granulated sugar
rice flour
vegetable oil
Make the batter
Whisk the rice flour, all-purpose flour (or additional rice flour), water, salt, sugar, and baking soda together in a medium bowl until perfectly smooth. The batter should be runny.
Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.Make the filling
Mix the coconut milk, sugar, rice flour, and baking soda together in a small bowl until perfectly smooth. The filling should have the consistency of pancake batter. Set aside.Make the crepes
Heat a 7- or 8-inch cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add a little oil to the skillet, wait about 20 seconds, and then wipe the skillet out with a paper towel.
Place the skillet back over the heat and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir the batter. If necessary, add a little more lukewarm water to thin it so it will spread easily and stir again.
Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into the skillet and lift and tilt the skillet so the batter flows out to the edges. Cover and cook for 20 seconds or so. Spoon 1 generous tablespoon filling onto the center of the crepe, cover, lower the heat slightly, and cook for 1 minute. Check to see if the filling has set; if not, cover and cook a little longer.
Take the skillet off the heat, fold the crepe in half, and transfer it to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling, wiping the skillet with the oiled paper towel if needed between crepes to prevent sticking.
Serve hot.
Wine Pairing :
- cream sherry
- bordeaux
- champagne
- moscato dasti
- port
- white burgundy
Cream Sherry, Bordeaux, and Champagne are great choices for Crepes. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port.

I'd wondered whether or not a trip consisting of two adults and a big dog in a 25 foot motor home might not be a little bit difficult, but August 04th rolled around and during the wee-morning-hours we embarked on our trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Our first day on the road meant a lot of driving and riding. Along the way into Iowa I'd decided to "try" to use our motor home bathroom. Dazie The Pit Bull following close behind me. (We were moving along on a freeway at the time.) I got out of my seat in the front and hung-onto whatever I could as I meandered my way to the back where the bathroom is located.
So, there I was, closing the bathroom door. I should never have released my grip on the bathroom door knob after closing it tightly. Just as I released my grip on the knob, Ralph turned onto an extremely bumpy freeway exit. As I lost my balance I desperately grabbed ahold of one of the towel racks with one hand, and the shower curtain with my other hand. Down they both went; along with me as I tumbled backward into the shower. It wasn't a bad landing, but as I shouted, "Ouch" from the shower floor, I realized that my husband could not have heard me over all of the road noise and rattling sounds a motor home makes while in-transit. When I'd gotten out of the shower and opened the bathroom door, there sat a patient Dazie, The Pit Bull looking at me as though she wondered what on earth was going on. (You know, that one ear back a bit and the other forward.)
I've just got to say that if you ever want to travel with the perfect traveling companion, you really must get a Pit Bull. This dog loves to "ride shotgun". The only thing she loves to do more than that is to sit in the driver's seat. I'm convinced that she'd drive if we'd let her!
Once we arrived in Pennsylvania where my high school best friend lives, Dazie was happy to get out of the motor home . . . until she met Lucy.
Dazie, The Pit Bull was fairly oblivious to Lucy and Lucy's "snapping" at her. Finally though, Dazie, The Pit Bull seemed to realize that this was going to go on and on and so Dazie tangled with her. Then both dogs seemed fine until, Lucy did her snapping thing again. They tangled again. So into the bedroom Lucy went and was gated-in.
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie "Vacation" where Chevy Chase drove with the mean dog tied to the back of his car until a highway patrolman pulled him over? I hate to admit it, but I really wanted to ask Kathy and Ed if we could do that with Lucy! (We really didn't think they'd find it funny though, so we kept our thoughts to ourselves.)
Dazie, The Pit Bull was so good throughout our entire trip. She met two horses out by the barn, and interestingly, she knew to be wary of them both. She'd try to sneak up on them and then she'd quickly run away!
We had such a great time and I'm so glad that we had Dazie along. I am a living witness to the fact that Pit Bulls make the ideal traveling companions!

You don't have to have an entire SEO strategy in place to make simple changes to your e-commerce website that can improve your rankings. Here are a few quick things you might be doing wrong — or rather, missing the opportunity to take advantage of — on your e-commerce website and how to quickly remedy them, even if you know nothing about SEO!
Mistake #1: Duplicate content in your product descriptions
I've talked previously about how I hate writing product descriptions. Who doesn't? However, that doesn't get you off the hook for writing compelling, original product descriptions that help sell your products. It's a pretty essential part of running an e-commerce business.
One mistake a lot of online shops make, especially those that are not selling their own designs, is copying product descriptions directly from the manufacturer and using that content on their website. While not technically a copyright violation (after all, the manufacturers provide that content for you to use), using the manufacturer's product description verbatim means you're using the same content on your website as the manufacturer and anyone else who sells that product online — and Google doesn't like that. Writing original product descriptions will help you rank higher in the search engines even if you're selling the same products as another online vendor.
Quick fix: Run your product descriptions through an online plagiarism checker tool to check for duplicate content across the web. Rewrite any duplicate product descriptions.
Mistake #2: No content on the home page
I occasionally come across an e-commerce website with a very sparse home page. While the page may incorporate beautiful imagery and graphics, there is almost no written content on it at all. While this doesn't necessarily hurt your SEO, it is certainly a missed opportunity. When Google is scanning a web page for content, it looks for certain clues in order to determine what the page is about. Two places it looks are the headlines and body content on the page. If you're forgoing using headlines or written content on your homepage in favor of a sparse visual design, Google can't look to those two important elements for keywords.
Quick fix: Make sure you have a main headline on your home page that contains some content. This headline should appear as <h1> in the back end code. You also want to have at least 100 words of written copy on your home page between headlines and additional body copy (the words that appear within the <body> tag).
Mistake #3: No product reviews
Product reviews are an important part of a good e-commerce SEO strategy. They both help generate new content on your website frequently (which Google likes) AND they supply important rich snippets that make your appearance in the search results more robust (and clickable).
Quick fix: Add a product review widget (such as Judge.me for Shopify) to your website to automate the process of collecting and posting product reviews. (For more recommendations, check out my list of essential Shopify SEO apps.)
Mistake #4: Not optimizing your home page for your main product category
In addition to sparse visual websites, I often see websites that do not use meta data to optimize for a main product category. This can be a little tricky, because to optimize your home page for a main product category you have to a.) determine what that main product category is (hard if you sell LOTS of things) and b.) pick a single key phrase to optimize for that summarizes what your entire shop is about. But you should do both of those things and then optimize your home page for those keywords. Think of this kind of like your tagline.
Quick fix: Use your home page's page title and meta description to optimize for your main product keywords. Be careful! Some e-commerce content management systems, such as Shopify and Squarespace, house these home page meta elements in the website settings versus at the page level, so make sure you're editing the content in the right place.
Mistake #5: Not using your blog
"But I don't know what to blog about!" So many e-commerce companies decide that they're confused about how a blog serves their business bottom line and so they forgo adding blog content to the website at all. Huge mistake! Like product reviews, blog posts are a way to add new content to your website frequently, which Google likes. Even if you're not optimizing your blog for important keywords, having any blog content at all is a signal of a healthy website.
I've written before about how to use your e-commerce blog to drive traffic to your website, and that's where you eventually want to get, but to start with, just have a blog, any blog, at all.
Quick fix: Add a blog to your e-commerce website and update it at least once a month.

VGL Breaks New Ground in South America & Europe
Tue Nov 7, 2006, 10:10 pm
LOS ANGELES – November 8, 2006 - Having already played to over 40,000 people, making it the largest and most successful video game concert in the world – Video Games Live will continue its ground-breaking world tour by performing the first ever video game music concerts in South America and England. On November 12th in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and November 19th in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Video Games Live will bring its one-of-a-kind entertainment experience to the continent of South America before continuing to London, England on November 25th to perform at one of the most celebrated venues in Europe, the Hammersmith Apollo.
"Although there are a huge number of gamers in Brazil, we've never had a show as big as Video Games Live here," says Fabio Santana, editor of Electronic Gaming Monthly Brazil. "I've been receiving an incredible amount of e-mail from readers since we published the details about the Brazilian show. They're happy that they can actually be at this game music show, instead of just reading about it or watching parts of it online. I think the Video Games Live concert will also help educate people outside Brazil about the well-established and fast-growing game industry we have here."
The response has been just as strong in London, home to many video game developers. "Video games and their music have evolved into our culture," says Phil Harrison, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "This event solidifies video games as the significant cultural art-form they have become, as well as receiving the artistic respect they deserve."
"This is going to be an amazing experience for all of us," says Tommy Tallarico, famed video game composer and co-creator/executive producer of Video Games Live. "We're getting a tremendous response to our announcements, and we can't wait to bring this music abroad."
When tickets started selling quickly for the first scheduled Sao Paulo, Brazil show on November 19th at Via Funchal, Video Games Live added an additional Brazilian date on Sunday, November 12th at the prestigious Claro Hall in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The highly regarded Petrobras Sinfônica will perform in front of thousands of eager Brazilians whose tireless support and goodwill had sparked the addition of yet another groundbreaking South American performance.
The biggest corporations in all of Latin America have come on board to help sponsor, support and promote the world tour. Presenting the show will be Petrobras, the largest oil company in Brazil, whose goal it is to usher in a whole new generation of people to appreciate the artistic and cultural merits of a live symphonic performance in a setting that speaks volumes to people who may not normally come out to experience a live orchestra. Petrobras is the biggest corporation in all of Latin America. Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company will once again support the highly acclaimed South American landmark event along with UOL, the principal internet online provider for Latin America. Adding to the already powerful line-up of supporters is the Brazilian government and the Ministry of Culture, whose commitment to the Video Games Live project speaks volumes for VGL's relevance, significance and future presence in Brazil.
"It is such an honor to be invited to perform by the government of Brazil and many of its leading corporations," said VGL Co-Creator and Host Tommy Tallarico. "This is only the beginning of something special which we intend on building and bringing back to Brazil each and every season." Co-Creator and Conductor Jack Wall added, "I've been working with the orchestras and I'm really amazed at how hard they are willing to work to ensure our show is the best it can be. I just can't wait to play Brazil. I'm also looking forward to London where the musicians there are known for being some of the finest in the world." Performing in London will be the well known English National Ballet Orchestra along with the Apollo Voices.
Video Games Live features music from the most popular video games performed by top orchestras and choirs, combining exclusive video footage and music arrangements with synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, and unique interactive segments. Video Games Live is once again opening the doors early to present a pre-show festival, including a costume contest where audience members come dressed as their favorite video game characters to compete for prizes. Other prizes such as laptop computers will be given away during the Interactive Symphony segment, starring one of the most beloved classic arcade games of all time, Frogger, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Two audience members will compete for 90 seconds while the orchestra plays along, changing the musical score on-the-fly depending on what the contestants are doing on screen. This unique interaction with a live symphony has only ever been attempted and performed at Video Games Live.
The audience will also be treated to a special solo performance by Video Game Pianist Martin Leung who will be performing his exclusive Final Fantasy® piano arrangement consisting of over ten Final Fantasy® favorites. After the performance, there will be a meet-and-greet where fans can interact with renowned game composers and industry luminaries.
