Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
BOSTON, MA.—"We lost Game 2 and won Game 1. That was the difference," is what Celtic captain Paul Pierce replied when asked what the difference was between Game 1 and Game 2 of the opening round of the NBA playoffs between the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics lost Game 2 82-79.
When asked to elaborate, the Truth, who scored 33 points but missed a 3-pointer with .2 seconds remaining in the game, continued, "We knew the Pacers were going to come out with a better effort (than in Game 1). What we have to do as the starters of the ball game, we have to get the starters to get the team off to a better start. We knew it was going to be a tough game. We knew Reggie was going to come out a little bit more inspired than Game 1. And he did a great job of carrying his team."
Miller, who has been carrying the Indiana Pacers for the past month, led the Pacers with 28 points, including a patented runner from 17-feet out just after faking Antoine Walker in the air and taking one extra dribble for a better look at the basket.
Pierce also missed a crucial free throw that would've knotted the score at 80 with 56.8 remaining in the game. Despite the two shooting miscues, Pierce had an outstanding game and carried the Green throughout Game 2, connecting on 9-of-16 from the field and committing only one turnover in 43 minutes of action. When Indiana turned up the defensive intensity and contested every shot, Pierce muscled his way down the lane and earned trips to the free throw line for most of the night. Of the 15 attempts that he had from the charity stripe, he converted 13 of them.
"It's not about me," said Pierce during the post-game interview when asked about his performance on Monday. "It's about the team. We win as a team. We lose as a team."
Antoine Walker added 19 points for the Celtics. He too shot well from the field, converting 8 of his 16 attempts (1-for-3 from the field), and tied for the game-high with seven rebounds. Walker also added three assists, two steals, and a block shot in the 40 minutes that he logged.
However, Walker missed a key layup on a drive with 1:40 remaining in the game and the scored tied at 78. Interestingly enough, Walker turned down a wide open three-pointer on the left baseline when he decided to penetrate. He missed the layup badly, but was skilled enough to anticipate the carom and grab the rebound. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to convert on that shot either. Reggie Miller retrieved the miss, which led to an easy layup by Anthony Johnson. The point turned out to be the winning basket for the Pacers (78-80).
"I was very disappointed in our defense down the stretch," said Pierce. "We gave up too many easy baskets. They had a couple dunks; a couple layups. And that can't happen. Not in the playoffs. Not at home. Not anywhere. Down the stretch we got to do a better job defensively. We gave two layups to Anthony Johnson; Reggie Miller gets a wide open shot. And that can't happen."
Tony Allen seemed to ignite "Miller Time" when he received a technical foul for taunting Reggie Miller in the 3rd quarter. Allen received the technical after he followed up a Gary Payton miss with a left-handed dunk (46-49). After the play, Allen handed the ball to Miller, who had neglected to box out Allen just before the follow-up. The result was an unsportsmanlike technical foul. "I can live with that," is what Doc Rivers said when asked to comment on the play. "Tony knew it right away, I'll give him that."
The sellout crowd sided with Allen and began to taunt Miller every time he touched the ball. "He's a hard-nosed player and I respect what he does out there on the court," said Miller when asked about Tony Allen and the incident. "I'm just trying to play hard and finish my tenure here. Sometimes you just got to let sleeping dogs lie. I haven't talked trash in about six or seven years in a playoff series."
Miller bounced back from shooting 1-for-7 from the field in Game 1 to 9-for-18 from the field (3-for-9 from beyond the arc) in Game 2. "Anytime you wake up a guy like Reggie Miller and want to go at him, you're in for a long night," said Stephen Jackson.
Jackson, who has been the lone consistent player for Indiana thus far and led the Pacers in Game 1 with 25 points on 9-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-4 from three-point territory, added 20 points on 6-for-13 from the field, including 3-for-5 from the deep end on Monday. "I think last game they just came out and they didn't play against us, they took that game. And we wanted to make sure they didn't do that (in Game 2)," said Jackson after Game 2.
Jermaine O'Neal shot much better than his Game 1 performance too. He may have only scored 13 points, but eight of those points came in the second half, and four of those second half points came after the three minute mark in the fourth quarter when Indiana needed points from somebody outside of Miller and Stephen Jackson. O'Neal finished the game 5-for-12 from the field, much better than the 3-for-12 performance he recorded in Game 1.
In your writer's humble opinion, the Green lost Game 2 because of two factors: the first being lack of defense, especially in the first and fourth quarters.
In the first quarter, Indiana converted 64.3% of their shots from the field (9-for-14), including 5-for-5 from the deep end (three from Stephen Jackson and two from Reggie Miller). The fourth quarter defense was abysmal on the part of the Green. Stephen Jackson was able to score his first points since the first quarter when he got a clear path to the lane off of a drive, which resulted in a dunk (75-70) with 5:58 remaining in the game. The next two Indiana field goals came from within 10 feet when Jermaine O'Neal scored his 11th point of the night on a layup (76-72 with 3:30 remaining), and Anthony Johnson scored his seventh point of the night on a turnaround from seven feet (78-76).
After Ricky Davis had his shot blocked by James Jones, Stephen Jackson broke free from Paul Pierce and had a clear path down the baseline for a two-handed dunk to tie the game at 78. (Note to Celts: You can't win a playoff game by letting anybody tie the game on a driving dunk with inside of two minutes remaining in the game.) Antoine then passed up on the open three and missed the two shots from close range, Johnson took the lead with the fairly uncontested drive, Pierce missed 1-of-2 free throws, Ricky D took a tough shot on the next Celtics' possession, then it was Miller Time. Game over.
But to me, the most crucial error of the game was Doc's decision to not play the young guys in the 2nd half. I can understand not wanting to sub for Walker and Pierce since they were the only ones providing offense for the Celtics, but Raef LaFrentz and Mark Blount combined for 22 unproductive minutes in the second half. LaFrentz hit 1-of-2 free throws and Blount made 1-of-3 field goals for a combined three second half points for the veterans in the frontcourt. I'm sure Al Jefferson would've found more production with those 22 minutes than the aforementioned vets.
After scoring eight points in 17 minutes and being perfect from the field and the free throw line in last Saturday's 102-82 victory over the Pacers, Jefferson only logged nine minutes in the loss on Monday, and didn't play in the second half at all. Jefferson scored two points, hitting one out of the three shots he took. However, he was still active on the glass, grabbing five rebounds (three offensive rebounds) and blocking another Jermaine O'Neal shot for the second consecutive game.
"Sometimes you just go with your gut. I didn't think Al had a good rhythm tonight so I went away from him. I went back and forth on it, I just didn't like the way the game was being played at that time," explained Coach Rivers. "Toward the end of the third quarter, Paul was getting it on and so was Antoine. So you have that choice: You take you take them out, give them a minute or two, and go with the young guys, or you don't. Since we lost, maybe I should have. It was a tough call for me, I'll be honest. We're going to need Al. I thought Al came in early trying to score instead of trying to let the game come to him. We told him that they were going to bring guys at him, which is fine. I thought he was still trying to score instead of giving it up and reposting."
"We had many chances to win the game," continued Doc. "We just didn't pull it out. We didn't do the things we need to do to win on both ends."
It's still a long series," Pierce optimistically stated. "Now our goal is to go into Indiana, get one possibly two, and try to come back home and close it."

Let's say you meet a guy or woman at a bar, and there's a connection. What is the first thing you do?
Intelius hopes you'll pull out your iPhone, drop $40, and make sure your potential partner is an upstanding citizen. With its new DateCheck iPhone app introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show, you can find out if he or she is actually a danger to society.
The company's Web site already offers information on millions of people gleaned from public records. The app simply aggregates the information and presents it to you on your mobile device.
The problem is that the information is not completely accurate. To test it, I looked up someone I know. It got her address correct, but it also said that she had at one time gone by a man's name.
DateCheck knew about minor traffic tickets, but it had no idea about her profession or her marital status.
Before you decide to spend the money to evaluate your date, you might want to try a cheaper alternative that's worked for centuries: human intuition.

Bel V, Brussels, Belgium
In the summer of 2012, the detection of a large number of quasi-laminar flaw indications in the reactor vessel beltline ring forgings of two Belgian pressurized water reactors (Doel Unit 3 and Tihange Unit 2) posed a significant safety threat that led the licensee to shutdown both plants. Those indications were identified by the licensee as hydrogen flakes that developed during the fabrication of the forgings. As a prerequisite for a potential restart of the units, the Belgian Nuclear Safety Regulator, the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC), requested the licensee to provide, for each unit, a safety case demonstrating the acceptability of the reactor pressure vessel for continued operation. As the technical subsidiary of the FANC, Bel V performed a safety evaluation of the condition of the reactor pressure vessels. The paper documents the approach Bel V used in his safety evaluation and the criteria he defined to evaluate the acceptability of the hydrogen flaking damage in the reactor pressure vessels.

Next we will make a list of the best applications that aim to show the public recharge points, we will analyze each one of them and we will indicate those favorable and unfavorable points.
1.- Electromaps:
Electrompas is one of the most well-known applications in Spain and Portugal and is a benchmark in electric mobility since 2009. This app shows the recharge points that exist in the Iberian Peninsula, Europe and the rest of the world through a single map. Users of the application must register in order to add a recharge point, there is also the possibility to include comments and ratings. It is advisable to validate and confirm the existence of the recharge points introduced, in some cases there are modifications that have not been updated.
More information about this app of charging points on public roads: http://www.electromaps.com/
2.- ChargeMap:
Chargemap brings together a large number of user with 147,142 electric car drivers in Europe. It is the largest community of drivers.

The Norwegian furniture manufacturing company IMG Group AS has signed an agreement with the operator of the Panevėžys Free Economic Zone (FEZ). The IMG Group decided to build its first joint furniture factory and distribution centre in Europe in Panevėžys city. The group will establish in several stages. The first is scheduled to be completed in early 2019. Initial investment will amount up to 10 million Euros and created 125 new jobs.
This is a cornerstone development for IMG as it looks to strengthen its competitive position in Europe. Currently the European business is built around container supply from Asia.
James Tate, the President of IMG commented that 'This new facility will enable IMG to reduce product delivery times as well as provide development possibilities for European specific product ranges. The increased flexibility will mean IMG can better serve our current customers enabling expansion into new, untapped markets'.
Lars Inge Solnørdal Jakobsen, the COO of IMG confirms that 'Panevezys in Lithuania was selected due to the strategically advantageous location, a strong and skilled labour force who are furniture specialists as well as the ease of doing business in Lithuania'.
The provisional plan for IMG is to begin site construction in mid-2018, with the aim of commencing limited production and distribution in the first half of 2019.

Ruckers make mark on 5K race
Carried 10 pounds of baby supplies for Associated Churches
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
Saturday, participating in Fort Wayne's fourth annual Father's Day 5K, were runners, walkers and ruckers.
And if the only rucker you've ever heard of is country singer Darius Rucker – well, you wouldn't have been alone, even at the event that benefits programs of Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County.�
The Rev. Roger Reece, Associated Churches' executive pastor, said people asked him what a rucker was as the event was being planned.
A rucksack, or "ruck" for short, is a backpack loaded with weights used in military training runs to simulate gear carried for combat, he said.�
Organizers learned of demand for such an option from members of the active-duty or reserve military families Associated Churches assists through a specialized ministry.
"They could use it for training," Reece said of the race, which began at Associated Churches' headquarters, 602 E. Wayne St., and wound through Lakeside Park.
Race organizers asked those wanting to ruck to load their backpacks with 10 pounds of baby supplies to be donated to another of its ministries,�A Baby's Closet.
That program provides baby items, from diapers and onesies to car seats and strollers, to expectant and new parents.�The families earn coupons by completing activities that stress proper care for themselves and their babies – doctor visits, parenting classes or pursuing a high school diploma.
Reece said about 600 families were assisted last year. Unlike other years, he didn't run the race himself, but he said his grown son, Wes Reece, represented the family as one of�the approximately half-dozen ruckers.
Cody Haviland, 46, and his wife Stacy, 44, weren't quite sure what they were getting into when they decided to ruck.
The Fort Wayne couple, along with their two children, Jacob, 12, and Molly, 10, were participating in their first Associated Churches' 5K.
They said they didn't know much about the agency before picking up a flyer at the Lehman YMCA.
"I was kind of intrigued by the idea of being able to donate and run too," said Cody, a safety manager who runs as a hobby.
He and Stacy, a landscape architect for the city of Fort Wayne, loaded their backpacks with baby wipes, baby-friendly laundry detergent and a popular children's hydration product.
"Being parents, we know how much it takes," Stacy said, adding the two were also using the run to train for an upcoming hiking trip on the famed John Muir Trail in the Sierra Mountains of California.�
As in past years, many people ran in honor of, or memory of, their fathers. Often they wrote their dad's name on their race number bib.�
Others participated with their father.
David Hernandez, 42, of Fort Wayne, a fitness club owner, said he was remembering his father as he ran. His dad, Jorge Hernandez, lives in Colombia.�
The younger Hernandez came in second, at around 19 minutes, despite pushing his own son, Gabriel, 5, in a stroller over the 3.1-mile course – which was mostly flat, but finished after a block-long uphill climb.
Hernandez estimated the weight he pushed at 55 pounds – much heavier than any rucksack.
"It hurts a lot, but it feels good," he said after crossing the finish line dripping with sweat.
The race's winner was Noel Shafer, 50, of Peru, who covered the ground, ruck-less, in 18:49.
About 400 people, a record, signed up for the race, Reece said.�He attributed the upswing both to the ruckers and to the race's being offered for the first time as a way to earn points for a Fort Wayne Running Club series.
And there also was the post-race pancake breakfast to attract runners and their families.��
It was not known Saturday how much the event brought in for Associated Churches, a nonprofit organization that also supplies food banks in neighborhood churches and develops partnerships between churches and nearby public schools.��
Brenda Kelly, 47, ran the event with her sister, Cindy Baker, 45, both of Akron in Fulton County, and Brenda's husband, Todd, 46, and daughters Reece, 11, and Rowan, 10.
Kelly said the family was participating in memory of their father and grandfather, Bob Baker, who died in April after battling Parkinson's disease.
"This is something we're going to do annually," Kelly said, as the family sported T-shirts with slogans recalling their "Daddio" or "Pappy."
Pushing her son Remington, 2, in a stroller, Kelly laughed when asked if she was a rucker. She was asked because she was wearing a big black backpack.
"No," she said. "That's just my baby supplies." �

Embrace Chaos at Dittmar Gallery Exhibition/
Celebration is a vital part of human life as we often search for reasons to throw a party or blow off steam. From birthdays to graduations (or just the end of finals), we love to have celebrations with friends and family. But what happens when we examine what lies behind the curtain? Is your celebration meaningful or empty? Erin Elizabeth explores these questions in her gallery, Embracing the Chaos.
Elizabeth incorporates actual candy and confetti into her pieces to convey the temporary state of celebration, examining why humans assign meaning to arbitrary celebrations and what that mindset says about us.
The exhibition makes use of foodstuffs and texture, as many works are composed of sprinkles, glitter and other objects reminiscent of celebration. Some pieces use cake to underline the differences in experiential value that people place on ceremony.
The eclectic pieces compel people to them as everyone can relate to them in a way that reflects their own personal traditions and values. What is important to one person is meaningless to another, and Elizabeth's exhibit artfully exposes those differences.
Embracing the Chaos runs from January 6 - February 12. A reception will be held January 6, 4:00–6:00 p.m. For more details, visit the Dittmar Gallery website.

Providing care for loved ones who are unable to help themselves is a tough job. Whether they are chronically ill or seriously injured with a long recovery period ahead, the task requires resiliency and dedication. At times, it can make the caregiver feel like they lost their old life. Here are ten tips for caring for an ailing family member or friend:
1. Continue on with your own social life as much as possible. As a caregiver, it is easy to feel that you have to be with your family member at all times. However, if you cannot take the time to restore yourself, eventually, you will be worn out. Know your limits and stick to them so that you can remain mentally and physically healthy enough to provide care.
2. Research your loved one's illness or injury. It helps to know as much as possible about what you are dealing with. Request information from their doctors if you are allowed to. Do your own research online, but don't trust that everything you read will apply to your situation. Use your research only as guidance as you speak with their doctors.
3. Strengthen the bond between yourself and your loved one. Sometimes caring for someone else brings about awkward situations. In order to get past the awkwardness, there needs to be trust. To develop this trust, communicate with them often by listening and replying calmly. Express empathy and compassion when it is needed. Make eye contact and talk to them about things other than the illness or injury.
4. Include other family members in the care plan. Spending 24 hours a day with someone will be taxing for both of you. Your family member needs to experience other people's care. Also, for safety reasons, more than one person should be aware of the timing of medications, appointments, baths, and other pertinent information.
5. Maintain confidentiality. Personal issues may come up in caring for someone else. If they request that it remain between the two of you, honor that request. There is also a legal standpoint in which the caregiver should not have access to all medical information for the family member unless they specifically allow it. The only information a caregiver should know is the plan of care they will currently be providing.
6. Consider other members of the household's needs as well. As an example, if a child is sick, try to avoid upsetting the daily schedules of the other children in the family. Once in awhile, it can't be avoided, but be sure it does not become a regular occurrence. All children need stability and structure and adults need to be able to make their own schedules.
7. Encourage your loved one to be independent when they can. Doing things for themselves may help your family member become more confident. Studies have shown that people who are active in their own care are more likely to search for health information and use it to be healthier.
8. Trust your gut. If you feel that progress is not being made or notice a change in the your loved one's mental or physical health, do not be afraid to bring up your uncertainty with them or their doctor.
9. Be patient. Caring for someone else is frustrating at times, especially when the caregiver and the family members personalities are closely matched. Remember to breathe and take little time-outs when needed.
10. Check for services to help make life easier. Transportation services, local home health services and meal delivery programs can be life-savers. Many services can be partially covered by your family member's insurance or will scale based on their ability to pay. You don't have to manage every aspect of your loved ones care alone.

Big data, data analytics, data mining, and data warehousing - these are terms found in many job descriptions nowadays. Though there are some nuanced differences in their meaning, what they have in common is the idea that most organizations have large operational databases that can be leveraged to make smart management decisions. Examples include marketing more effectively to existing customers, identifying patterns of fraud or waste, streamlining operations and auditing, and reducing costs.
Many organizations want to use data analytics - small and large businesses, governments, health care organizations, and many others. That desire has created a strong demand for students trained in data analytics and warehousing. Unfortunately, the supply of well-trained students in these areas is low. Current positions are typically filled by employees with training in economics, statistics, or database management. But data analytics combines all of these areas and includes unique content beyond them. Thus, ASM is expanding its course offerings in these areas to enable students to better compete for the available and emerging jobs.
ASM has revised some existing data-related courses and is adding new ones. The diagram below summarizes the courses and their typical sequencing. Additional details and some possible groupings of those courses are provided below: Data-related courses can be incorporated in the Master of Accounting, MBA, and forthcoming MS in Information Systems & Assurance programs.

When a storm system is moving in, that's probably not the best time to go to the beach. However, that didn't stop two retirees from paying a visit to Ploudalmézeau, France, to hang out on Porsguen beach. Ploudalmézeau is located on France's Atlantic coast, where a large storm system has been causing chaos for the last several days.
The two were looking out onto the water when a massive wave rolled in and knocked the husband off his feet. Trying to regain his footing, he grasped his wife's hand before being swept out to sea. His wife followed by trying to grab him, but she too was washed away in the waves.

Effects of an exercise model based on functional circuits in an older population with different levels of social participation
Geriatrics and Gerontology International
Published online on October 15, 2017
Aim To investigate whether being part of a community organization interfered with older adults' overall functionality. The magnitude of responses to a community exercise program based on functional circuits in socially active and socially non‐active older adults was also investigated. Methods A total of 200 older adults aged ≥60 years from Requinoa, Chile, participated in the study. Participants were separated into two groups according to the level of social participation: socially active (SA) and socially non‐active (SNA). During an evaluation, data regarding the presence of comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index), disability level (Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire), dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go test), muscle force (handgrip dynamometry) and sociodemographic conditions were collected. Participants followed an exercise program consisting of a functional exercise circuit including balance, resistance and aerobic exercises, twice a week, for 12 weeks. Results Both the Charlson Comorbidity Index and disability were higher in SNA compared with SA participants on inclusion. Both groups improved disability (Δ–0.25 patients [−0.5 – −0.0625 patients] for SNA and (Δ–0.125 patients [−0.5–0 patients] for SA) and balance (Δ–2 s [−3–0 s] for SNA and (Δ–1 s [−3–0 s] for SA) after training (P < 0.05 for all). Changes from baseline were statistically higher in the SNA group. Handgrip force improved only in participants in the SNA group (Δ1.7 kg [0.6–2.8 kg], P = 0.0001). No differences, however, were observed between the magnitude of improvements of handgrip between groups. Conclusions Although socially non‐active older adults had more comorbidity and disability than their socially active counterparts, they showed a higher response to a community exercise program.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe
- 3 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 large egg yolks
- 9 ounces sugar
- 1 tsp. peppermint oil
- 3 ounces chocolate-mint candies, coarsely chopped
Preparation Directions
Place the half-and-half and the heavy cream into a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.
Using the wire whisk attachment and your KitchenAid stand mixer, whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine. Temper the cream mixture into the eggs and sugar by gradually adding small amounts, until about 1/3 of the cream mixture has been added. Pour in the remainder and return the entire mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, and has reached 170-175 degrees F. Pour the mixture into a container and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add the peppermint oil and stir to combine. Place the mixture into the refrigerator and, once it is cool enough not to form condensation on the lid, cover and store for 4 to 8 hours or until it reaches 40 degrees F or below.
Pour the mixture into your KitchenAid stand mixer ice cream maker accessory. Add the chopped candies and process according to the manufacturer's directions. This should take approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Serve as is for soft serve or freeze for another 3 to 4 hours to allow the ice cream to harden.

all of the sudden lil lola is not seeming so lil. when i lay her down she looks so big. she is still very much baby, but something has changed.
she started crawling on her 8 month birthday- which was on sunday. not much else has changed in the last month... she has become more and more into playing with (read:pulling) hair, but because of this she gives really good hugs- to get her arms around your neck to get to your hair. she also pats you on the back when she hugs you, i do that to her so i guess that is where she got it? she does the splits all the time. for a while it was the only way she could sit up- laying down she would push back till her legs were fully spread and do a push up to sitting. i know babies are flexible but she is exceptionally flexible. her hair is starting to grow a bit, its light and fluffy and sticks straight up on the top. she still loves her sisters and food, being heard and laughing, the water and eating sand. and is a pretty happy kid. still no teeth. she pretty much sleeps through the night (around 7:30 pm- 6-ish in the morn) the last week or so- she had to learn it though. she has the cutest little baby talk, squeals and giggles, and if your velzy or ivy she cracks up at pretty much whatever you do.
and of course, we love love love her so much.

We did our first Tour of Southern Thailand from Hat Yai to Patthalung back in August 2013 and continued with the second tour sometime in October the same year.
It took me a few months to plan the third tour, this time, covering a reverse route from Patthalung to Hat Yai.
There was a request to check out the Thale Noi waterfowl sanctuary and we did just that by having a slightly longer stay in this birding paradise.
Then, it dawned on us that the timing fell on the Songkran (Thai New Year) festival.
Roger Teoh, who co-organized the ride had allayed his fear that there will be a possible shutdown on all food and beverage outlets during the festival which is celebrated over a course of a few days all throughout Thailand.
Contingency plans
I suggested to the ToST team members to bring their meal kits.
In addition, I will pack my backpacker's stove and some cooking pots to prepare meals.
The plan was to purchase some supplies in Hat Yai and we kept ourselves updated through our emails.
Initially, there were supposed to be nine people in the group.
Two declined and another had dropped out citing health reasons.
There were suggestions on adding replacements, but I was adamant that the group is already large enough and that we don't need to drag on inexperienced cyclists for this trip.
My colleague Eddie played a key role by securing the KTM Ekspres Langkawi tickets from KL - Hat Yai.
During Songkran, we don't leave anything to chances. So, the tickets were procured way in advance before the trip.
I handed them out to the respective people and gave them the landmark to meet up at the day of departure.
|Saying good bye to our pooch
|We'll be on the road for a week..
We had Roger Teoh who had toured with us for the third time, Patric Yee, a first-timer, Sin Tai Lim (Happy Happy Cyclist & Blogger) who joined us on his second tour and Andrew Ng who rode with us at the first tour.
At least three of them are experienced and we got along very well.
Roger left a day earlier to scout for accommodation in Thale Noi while Pat took the bus and met up with us in Hat Yai.
We boarded the KTM train which was packed to the brim and headed off Hat Yai. Roger will meet us in Pak Khlong in Patthalung. He managed to book five rooms at the Thale Noi resort where we stayed for two days.
|Michelle and our usual seat in coach L7 of the Express Langkawi
It takes at least 14 hours to get to Southern Thailand's largest city from Kuala Lumpur.
We stopped at major train stations along the way.
While waiting to board, I saw an old friend, Tuan Jamal, a national trainer with the Scouting movement.
We chat a bit and I found out that he was traveling to Nibong Tebal.
He actually took the bunk next to our team members during this trip.
Late in to the night, Jamal melted away and we were prepared to disembark in Padang Besar to get our travel documents stamped by the Thai immigration..

|Arrival in Hat Yai on the eve of the Songkran festival
We kept in touch via Facebook messenger.
I carried two phones, a primary (HTC One X+) that I use for my official stuff and a secondary (Motorola Moto G) for travel.
We arrived in Hat Yai without a hitch and made arrangements to meet up with Pat who came in on a bus.
After moving the bikes and panniers to a secure spot, I collected 100 baht each from the guys to purchase food rations in case if the shops and eateries are closed.
The guys also requested for a Thai data SIM Card which is sold at the 7-Eleven outlets at 299 baht and upon activation, we get 7 days of data coverage up to 1.5GB.
By the time we got down to the downtown area, the Songkran party was already in full swing. A section of the road was closed for the water festival.
|New Year revelers having a go with their water guns during the Songkran fest in Hat Yai
The Thai business community took advantage of this to sell waterguns.
After securing the foodstuff and the Thai SIM Cards, we moved back to the station and our guys were already having a small party by themselves there..

I'm that annoying friend on Facebook who posts a lot of political content. Everyone has one. Most of them get blocked or hidden and that's fine. I also jump on political threads that my friends post, ready to argue the nuances of the political discussion of the day. I don't post photos of my dinner. Rarely post about my cats. The only sports team I follow has a two-month season in early Summer. No prayer requests. No vaguebooking about issues at work. No complaining about my family or friends. If that's your bag, then more power to you. I'm a different breed of cat.
A couple of weeks ago, I got the idea to challenge my friends to get me to shut up about President Trump. I offered to refrain from posting about the president for an entire month if someone could point me to a speech he gave in which every fact he asserts is verifiably true. All they had to do was point to Trump telling the truth and I would let it go for a month.
So far, no takers. And that's not surprising. Trump lies like most people breathe. It comes so easy to him, he doesn't even realize he's doing it.
Last night, he held a campaign rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I call it a campaign rally because it was a rally, organized by his campaign team, and offered an opportunity for the crowd to contribute to Trump's re-election fund. But Trump couldn't even be honest about that. He said, "We're not even campaigning and look at this crowd!"
Well, what are you doing up there? Your campaign staff seems to think this is a campaign event. You're making a stump speech, making promises, and attacking Democrats just like you did during the campaign. What am I missing?
Speaking of attacking Democrats, Trump couldn't even keep it straight in his head whether or not he wants to work with Democrats to achieve his agenda goals. When talking about the health care bill in the Senate, he said:
"If we had even a little Democrat support, just a little, like a couple of votes, you'd have everything. And you could give us a lot of votes and we'd even be willing to change it and move it around and try and make it even better. But again, They just want to stop, they just want to obstruct. A few votes from the Democrats, seriously, a few votes from the Democrats, it could be so easy, so beautiful, and you'd have cooperation."|
First of all, you don't vote on legislation and then change it. That's not how legislation works, even when Republicans have a stranglehold on the process. Secondly, Sen. Mitch McConnell has cut out nearly everyone from the process on the health care bill, even members of the 13-member working group supposedly tasked with writing it. Zero Democrats have seen the bill, so how could they be obstructing it? But lastly, shortly after complaining that Democrats won't work with him, he continued his criticism to the point where even he recognized the irony.
"I am making it a little bit hard to get their support, but who cares?"
So does he want the support of Democrats or doesn't he? The answer is that he doesn't care. What he wants is to give rally speeches where he can rag on Democrats. And if you point out the contradiction, you're a snowflake who needs a safe space. I'm not a snowflake. I don't need a safe space. I need some logical consistency in my president. I need for a grown up to be in charge.
As for promises, he made an interesting one about immigrants and welfare.
"I believe the time has come for new immigration rules which say those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years. And we'll be putting in legislation to that effect very shortly."
Put aside the fact that whenever Trump promises something will happen "very shortly," over a "very short period of time" or even "two weeks," that he has a pattern of simply dropping it and we never see what he promises. In this particular case, he might as well drop it because the law has been on the books since 1996.
Now, that's not a "lie" per se. Trump may very well propose new legislation that does the exact same thing a previous law already does. But it demonstrates an ignorance of a subject where Trump is supposed to be informed. Immigration reform is one of his big issues. Another is trade policy. But he doesn't seem to understand that one either.
Look, I get it. He's a showman! He's Mr. Media! He's the second coming of Reagan, the "Greater Communicator!" That's why he likes to tease things out. He's always going to tell you about it on the next episode. "Are there tapes of your conversations with FBI Director Comey?" "We'll be releasing information about that very shortly." "Do you have evidence President Obama ordered your phones tapped at Trump Tower?" "We'll be releasing information about that in two weeks." "Do you have evidence that five million illegal immigrants voted against you in the election?" "We'll be releasing that information in a short period of time." What a showman! What an impresario!
Again, pointing out the many mixed signals, contradictory statements, and outright lies this president tells, is futile because what's important to his ever-shrinking base is that people like me are mad about it. They'd much rather see me cry my liberal tears than hungry children fed or poor people get health care. And I know. I know. I heard the same thing from them during the election: "Hillary voters don't care that she lies or that she's a criminal." They may even believe that's true. But the difference is that Hillary isn't president and her FBI investigation ended without charges. PRESIDENT Trump is still under investigation and his voters don't care.
Last night, he suggested again that he was going to build a wall along the southern border. He hasn't been able to convince his own party to fund it. In fact, the latest continuing resolution on the budget specifically said no money for the wall. But last night he said he wanted to make it a solar wall so that it will generate funds to save Mexico some money. There is never going to be a border wall. It is too impractical to exist. For example, there is a section of Texas that borders Mexico where the divide is the Rio Grande River. The border between our countries goes right down the middle of the river. Do we build the wall in Texas and yield the river to Mexico? Or do we build the wall in Mexico and yield that section of the wall to a country that doesn't want it? Or do we leave a big old hole in our beautiful solar wall? It's just a dumb idea and the grown-ups know this. The grown-ups understand that to achieve three percent annual growth in the economy, we have to hire more Mexicans.
Here's a fun lie he told last night:
"When I'm signing for the XL Pipeline and the Dakota I said, 'By the way, who made the pipe? But I put a little clause, handwritten. It said, 'Anybody builds a pipeline in the United States will use American steel and fabricate in America.' No more taking it over on boats!"
Mr. President, we have tape of you signing that Executive Order. You never asked "By the way, who made the pipe?" and you held it up for everyone to see your signature. There was no "little clause, handwritten" that said anything. It's just a lie. But listen to that crowd roar! What a showman! What a raconteur!
He talked about pulling out of the Paris Agreement:
"They all say it's 'nonbinding. Like Hell it's nonbinding. When we get sued by everybody because we thought it was nonbinding, then you can tell me it was nonbinding,"
But when the president held a Rose Garden speech to announce he wanted to leave the Paris Agreement, he said:
"Thus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the nonbinding Paris accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country."
He is a liar. He lies about little things. He lies about big things. He lies when he doesn't have to. He lies about the lies he tells. So I feel pretty confident that none of my friends on social media will accept my challenge. Which, I admit, is a little unfair. But I don't believe the bar is set too high. Just don't lie to us. Make one speech where you tell the truth. The bar can't get much lower. But you'd think I was asking him to build his border wall on the moon.
So, to sum up: our president is a liar, his slobbering masses don't care, and there is no reason for me to ever worry about anyone proving me wrong because, while he may be capable of telling the truth, he feels no need to even try.

With the Mississippi River on the west, the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway on the east, and the Gulf of Mexico on the south, there is water, water everywhere in Mississippi — but not enough infrastructure development at the state ports to adequately tap economic development opportunities.
That's the conclusion of a recent port assessment study conducted for the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
"We have 16 ports in the state, and every single one is underutilized," says Dick Hall, chairman of the State Transportation Commission and Central District Highway Commissioner. "Some are non-competitive. We are doing a study to find out just what we need to do to make them competitive. We want to take a consistent approach to each of them so we can upgrade them all using the same criteria."
Hall said the State Port at Gulfport wants to compete with the ports in Mobile, New Orleans and Tampa, but is hampered by infrastructure gaps. He said one of problems is that the rail between Hattiesburg and Gulfport is in poor condition.
The issue of improved rail service is just one that impacts the viability of the state's ports. The State Transportation Commission will hear the results of a recent port assessment study conducted by the consulting firm of Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas Inc. at a meeting July 25 in Jackson.
Hall said he believes Mississippi's economy can be enhanced by upgrading the 16 ports.
"We have a lot of opportunity," he said. "Everything I read has said that Central and South America are going to be the coming market for imports and exports. No one is in a better situation than us to take advantage of that. But we can't take advantage of it without the proper infrastructure."
Hall said he wants to find out why landlocked Ohio exports more agricultural products than Mississippi.
"That's not right," he said. "Something is wrong."
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Authority administrator Don Waldon agrees that more could be done to take advantage of the trade and development opportunities represented by state waterways. He said that port development is largely left up to counties and the private sector.
"A lot of the needs that these ports are now facing to accommodate existing and future business require costly improvements that are well beyond the capabilities of the individual counties," Waldon said. "I feel there is certainly justification for the state to take a much stronger and more aggressive role in water transportation which, historically, they have not done."
Waldon also argues that water transportation has the best capability for taking care of expanded business and trade; water transportation has a lot more unused capacity to increase commerce and trade for the state than other transportation systems.
Waldon recently returned from a trip to Europe looking at some of more innovative barge transportation practices used there. European countries have established policies to divert more land- transported commerce to waterways because it is safer, decreases congestion on highways, and is more environmentally friendly.
"The countries in Europe, regrettably, are light years away from us in making the best use of water transportation," he said.
Gary LaGrange, executive director, Mississippi State Port Authority at Gulfport, agrees that Mississippi needs a more comprehensive plan to support ports in the state.
"The 16 ports in Mississippi currently have little or no funds to rely on from the state," LaGrange said. "If we are going to be expected to compete with Louisiana and Florida, then we need to get with the program and do some of the things that are recommended in the study including creation of a Mississippi State Ports Council for the purpose of manifesting continued improvements for the ports needed for the newer, fifth generation types of shipments that are going to be sailing on the high seas."
LaGrange said that the State Port at Gulfport will probably need investments of up to $250 million in the next five or six years to be ready for continued economic development and job opportunities. He doesn't expect all that money to come from the state, but advocates seed money from the state to allow them to leverage funds from Washington and perhaps also from private enterprise that benefits from the port.
"It's all about leveraging," LaGrange said. "It is all about easing the burden on any one entity that may be a stakeholder in the port itself. And, of course, why do all this? To create jobs, put people to work, boost the economy, allow merchandisers to sell more merchandise, allow manufacturers to manufacture more, and shippers to ship more."
Jimmy Heidel, executive director, Vicksburg-Warren County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Foundation, is another advocate of investing in state ports.
"As far as maintenance and upkeep, we are lagging behind neighboring states," Heidel said. "We lag behind other neighboring states in infrastructure development. But funds are being made available by MDOT to help upgrade. We have plans to do that, and MDOT has pointed out things which give a plan to go by to justify more grants and bonds to upgrade."
Vicksburg, which ships three million tons of cargo per year, is the state's leading port on the Mississippi River. In September of this year the port plans to let bids for a $6-million project to widen the channel going into the port.

As someone who loves a good meal, I had to begin exploring my new neighborhood by trying out as much food as possible. Over the weekend I was looking for a quick and easy spot where I could go enjoy a nice lunch by myself before doing my grocery shopping.
While walking down Randolph I noticed a little sign around the corner with the most inviting name: Nonna's. I immediately had to see what it was.
Nonna's is the sister-restaurant of Fromento's on Randolph. And is operated in their kitchen. While I have yet to try out Formento's, I will definitely have to if it is as good as Nonna's.
Inside Nonna's you just feel at home. The small yet cozy shop is bright and inviting, including a large menu board with the sandwich and such names written in handwriting on the wall to your left and sundries lining the wall to the right. The menu is somewhat small, but still includes two vegetarian sandwich options which is a plus for me. As a pescetarian it can be hard sometimes to find food when menus are small. They also had some salads and sides that I could have tried.
After looking at the menu for a few minutes I knew exactly what to get. I walked up to the counter and ordered an eggplant parmesan sandwich with house giardiniera and a Mexican Coke (I never get a regular Coke unless someone serves these). While ringing me up the cashier offered up the combo, which got me the chips and the drink for only $.50 extra. I couldn't pass that up and switched my order to a combo. The total for my sandwich (the giardiniera on it costing an additional $1), Mexican Coke and chips came out to $15. A little pricey compared to many quick casual shops, but for the quality of the food and the neighborhood I wasn't too shocked and I definitely wasn't disappointed.
It was a gorgeous day out, so as soon as I had my meal I went to the patio to enjoy some sunshine with my sandwich. The patio has a wonderful setup with fresh flowers lining the fenced in area. And the area has little foot traffic so you can enjoy your meal without the crazy hustle and bustle of people running around.
Since I hadn't specified eating there my order was packed to go. The sauce for the sandwich and the giardieniera came on the side, which I definitely appreciated so that bread wouldn't be soggy. I opened the bread on my first half, poured on some marinara and some peppers and took my first bite.
The sandwich was delicious—the bread still crisp, the sandwich not greasy at all (like most eggplant parmesan sandwiches are), and the flavors blending together beautifully. I waited to dress my second half of the sandwich until I was ready to eat it, helping to avoid any potential sogginess.
The sandwich ended up being extremely filling, so I opted to take my bag of chips home with me. I tried them that evening, and they were good. The salt and vinegar taste was not overwhelming, which I greatly appreciated.
Overall I'll definitely be making a trip back to Nonna's.

All employers are obligated to maintain a harassment-free workplace for its employees at all times.
Managers and supervisors must be aware of their responsibilities and accountability for failure to prevent and correct sexual harassment in the workplace. Part of their responsibilities includes learning to recognize sexual harassment and the appropriate corrective actions to take in the event of an occurrence. As always, implementing preventative measures is the best tool to eliminate sexual harassment.
In addition to the legal implications, sexual harassment destroys the work environment and can affect anyone in any job, not just women. In fact, statistics show that 16% of claims are filed by males. The anxiety and frustration experienced by victims can impact their quality of life not to mention the quality of their work. As an employer, part of your legal and moral obligation is to maintain a workplace free of sexual harassment. By allowing harassment to flourish in your workplace, you will pay a high price in terms of poor employee morale, low productivity, and litigation.
his workshop will train supervisors and managers in the following areas:
State and federal laws, rules, and regulations on sexual harassment;
Identifying the types and forms of sexual harassment;
Employers' duties in preventing sexual harassment in the workplace;
Preventative measures to adopt to ensure a safe working environment;
Conducting timely and appropriate investigations;
Taking immediate corrective action in the event of an occurrence; and
Remedies for victims of sexual harassment.
Too many employers are sued for discrimination simply because managers havent been trained in the subtle and surprising ways discrimination can arise in the hiring, performance evaluation, discipline and termination processes. Through this one-hour course's challenging interactive exercises, supervisors will be educated in how to spot and avoid actions that could be considered discriminatory
Sexual Harassment Training
This sexual harassment training course is the next generation of online compliance training utilizing a proven educational design and multi-media content to drive increased comprehension, retention and behavioral change of your employees.
Challenge your employees with a wide variety of highly engaging scenario-based exercises that explore the consequences of their actions
Why Certify your Code of Conduct and Other Policies?
Your Code of Conduct and organizational policies set the tone for your corporate culture and expected business behavior. But compliance does not just happen. It requires a commitment by every employee, at every level of your organization. Thats why its important to have all employees certify this pledge to signal each individuals commitment to make decisions that are consistent with your organizational values, code of conduct and relevant laws and regulations. This certification process protects your organization and lessens the likelihood of business misconduct and other concerns such as lack of
cultural diversity in the workplace
Course length one 2hr session Cost $80 per person, max. number on the course 11 people

My Kind Of Music III...Barbra Striesand
Here Comes Another One
Okay, I'm enjoying this a bit too much. I hope you are too, because I can't seem to stop. If you haven't checked out my prior two articles of this series, please go back and do so now. They are "My Kind of Music, and My Kind of Music II."
Lou Rawls
Lou Rawls
Lou Rawls was born Louis Allen Rawls in 1933 in Chicago, Illinois. Rawls was known for his smooth vocal style: Frank Sinatra said of him that he had "the classiest singing and silkiest chops in the singing game". Rawls released more than 70 albums, and sold more than 40 million records. And if you have a chance to listen to more of his work and you'll begin to see why Sinatra said what he did. Lou Rawls died in January 2006, at age 72. For more on Mr. Rawls check him out on Wikipedia under Lou Rawls.
Johnny Mathis
Johnny Mathis
There are so many of these very beautiful songs by Johnny Mathis that I didn't know where to start. Please go over to YouTube and take a listen, and when you do, you'll see why he's one of my all time favorite male performers. Mathis was born Johnny Royce Mathis in 1935, in Gilmer Texas, he grew up in San Francisco. His music genres are, pop, soul, and easy listening.For more info, check out his website using this link, Johnny Mathis.
Patti LaBelle
Patti LaBelle
Patti LaBelle was born Patricia Louise Holte, in 1944 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, USA. Ms LaBelle began her career in the early 60's as part of a girl group, (The Bluebells). She went on to form another girl group, this time using her own last name, LaBelle. Now she's known only as Patti LaBelle, very appropriate. Patti's performance is a must see, it's like nothing you've ever seen, unless you've seen her perform. For more information on Ms. LaBelle follow this link.
Steve Winwood
Steve Winwood
Okay, I didn't know where to put Mr. Winwood. He's been performing since the 60's, but his work I appreciate the most is from the 80's onward, this song for instance is from 1997, and "Back in the High Life" is from 1986. Winwood was born Stephen Lawrence Winwood in 1948, in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, UK. His genres are,rock, blue eyed soul, blues, and psychedelic rock. The blues aspect came as a result of playing the organ and guitar as back up for some of the legendary blues greats, such as Bo Diddley, B. B. King, Howling Wolf, T Bone Walker, Chuck Berry and more. This probably explains why I find his music so appealing. Check out his bio on Wikipedia, under Steve Winwood.
Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand was born Barbara Joan Streisand in 1962, in Brooklyn, New York, USA. Ms Streisand is a singer-songwriter, actress, film producer and director. A few Streisand facts are, she's won, two Academy Awards, eight Grammy Awards, four Emmy Awards, a Special Tony Award, An American Film Institute Award and A Peabody Award. Whew! What accomplishments for someone who's said to have stage fright. She's said to hold the record for the most top ten albums of any female recording artist. I not only appreciate her singing, her acting is not too shabby either. There's so much more information on this most talented lady that I urge you to go over and pick up where I left at, Wikipedia, under Barbra Streisand.
The End, Not Really
This is the end of this installment, but not the end of the series. As I said before, I'm having way too much fun with this. Stay tuned.
If you missed the first two installments, follow the links below and, go over and take a look and a listen.
- My Kind Of Music II
I like the first installment so well that I decided to do it again. Please enjoy! Otis Redding was born Otis Ray Redding Jr, in 1941, in Dawson Georgia. He was often called the "King of Soul," because of...
- My Kind Of Music
My daughter and I were riding along one day and listening to one of our favorite radio stations, I say ours because my daughter has learned to appreciate my kind of music, and I hers. Anyway we heard a song...
Great Selection All Good Memories !
Awesome list many of my favorites listed here. Mathis and Rawls top my all time greats. Listened to both from while on my parent's knee. Voted up, marked awesome and beautiful.
Something really special about the songs of the past ... Just heard a snippet of a song by Neil Diamond at church called, "Turn on Your Heartlights". This was in preparation of a sermon series coming up about couples and marriage for Valentine's Day. I'll have to find the whole song.
What a great hub. You can not beat a bit of Lou Rawls!
I also like Babs Streisand and Steve Winwood, especially his big hit "Holding on." What about Billie Holiday? Later!
fastfreta! Let's get some Bailey's Irish Cream and turn on some Lou Rawls! I love your taste in music!
Great choices you have here Fastfreta. I thoroughly enjoyed my listening session.
I love your selection, apart from Streisand, and well written information of the artists.
Thank you! I'd vote this up for reminding me about Lou Rawls, alone, but I love all those other people too! Music brings back some really good memories for me. Bless yoU!
fastfreta, You have listed some of most favorite singers. They don't make music this good anymore. Great hub.
Nice hub, Freta. Interesting selections. I liked the videos...thanks
Another good one Freta, though I never really cared for Streisand. Peace!! Tom

Enhanced Absorption Controlled Release (ENCORE™)
By virtue of gastrointestinal physiology, the viability of an oral controlled release product is generally limited by the pH-dependent properties of the compound (solubility, stability and permeability), enzymatic stability, residence time and site specific absorption. Low solubility drugs, particularly weak bases, are notably troublesome in achieving the desired exposure and/or duration for controlled release products.
The formulation team at Kashiv has developed multiple technologies that can be successfully applied to achieve a true controlled release profile for a wide range of compounds. These technologies can be further customized to modulate the release profile to meet specific therapeutic needs, such as chronobiology or a target patient population (e.g., pediatric). In addition to addressing the absorption issues in the GI-tract, these controlled release technologies can also improve the performance of drugs with high first pass effect by controlling the site of absorption, and thereby reducing the dose.
