The Summer '19 release from Salesforce will be pushed to all Production orgs by June 15. Whether you are reading this in advance of the release, or after its deployment, there are 10 key enhancements with which you should familiarize yourself.
And, now in no particular order, sharing words and details from the Salesforce release notes: The 10 must-know Community Cloud enhancements from Summer '19.
CMS for Community Cloud has evolved into something bigger and better: Salesforce CMS, which contains a host of features improve usability and flexibility:
Salesforce CMS is available automatically to all Community Cloud customers. Check out Salesforce CMS in the App Launcher.
Role-based access in Salesforce CMS makes it easy to control exactly who does what in each content workspace. You may also add contributors to individual CMS workspaces by assigning access roles according to the level of access they need.
Now delegated admins can create, disable, and view external users without going to Salesforce Setup. They can select the action they want to take directly from the contact detail page.
The Flow page URL now includes flow arguments in the query string. When you navigate to the Flow page in Community Builder, you can set variable inputs for your flows from the URL. The updated format gives you more control over your variable inputs while you're on the Flow page. This change doesn't affect flows that aren't located on the out-of-the-box community Flow page.
Actions, such as Polls, Posts, and Questions, now support the same global quick actions as in Lightning Experience. Your users can take advantage of the same time-saving shortcuts everywhere. This primarily affects Cases in Communities.
Help your community users schedule appointments quickly with a self-service interface in Lightning Scheduler. Out-of-the-box Flows make it simple to search and select the right person, topic, location, and date and time.
Your custom Lightning community is now even more customizable! You can now access any page from any Lightning community template, regardless of which template you chose as your starting point. Tailor your template-based community by installing any out-of-the-box page from the standard page options in Community Builder.
The ExperienceBundle metadata type provides human-readable, text-based representations of the different Community Builder settings and site components, such as pages, branding sets, and themes. Whether it's for your own org or you're a consulting partner or ISV, quickly update and deploy Lightning communities using your preferred development tools, including Salesforce Extensions for VS Code, Salesforce CLI, Workbench, or your favorite IDE or text editor. (Developer Preview)
You can now grant portal or community users access to leads using sharing sets.
Sending someone directly to their user profile page wasn't always easy and required custom components, a redirect link, or both. Now, adding /s/profile/home to the end of the URL takes the logged in user directly to their user profile page. You can also use the modified URL as a link.
New to the world of Salesforce communities or you are looking to take Community Cloud to the next level?
This detailed guide will help you to build and manage a Salesforce community with clicks, not code.
The book provides an array of best practices to deliver top-notch business portals on the Salesforce platform.

I am a freelance writer, editor, and arts and crafts professional, doubling as a stay-at-home mom. I have had a personal blog for over three years, but found myself wanting to focus in on one of my greatest passions: cooking! Since striking out from my own family of origin, I have logged hours every day in the kitchen, and hours besides studying food and nutrition, poring over cookbooks, and following the trends in food. As a mother on a small budget, I thought it would helpful to share my insights and recipes for all of those who want to (or are told to) cook healthier meals but are intimidated by the cost and the time required by that. I hope to make cooking–and cooking well–accessible.
Here's to your health and the health of your family!

Starting a new tap, we are going to sample out another barrel age beer. This time around it is Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged Beer. This brewery was started in 2003. There is really nothing more on this brewery. This beer is aged in a barrel for thirty days. Let us get int othe beers.
When pour in the glass, the beer is a nice copper color with a kind of head. It has that import smell. It has a malty earthy taste to it. It is very smooth for being a full body beer. It is very drinkable. The more the beer drinker is drinking this beer. He or she will start to experience a little vanilla and oak taste from the beer.
Here is a descriation from their website (www.innisandgunn.com):
This is our flagship beer, the one whose discovery led to the formation of the company back in 2003. Since then we've won a string of awards for Original, most recently a third consecutive Modern Monde Selection gold award.
Like the world's great wine and whisky makers we strive for depth of flavour, complexity and mellowness in every beer we produce. Innis & Gunn Original typifies this approach.
Its lengthy 77-day maturation imparts flavours of toffee, vanilla and oak that perfectly complement the beer's backbone of luscious malt and fruity hop notes.
The oak helps to give Innis & Gunn Original its appealing colour and also mellow the alcohol character, so although the beer is 6.6%, it's very smooth and easy to drink.
Here is a descriation from the beer bottle:
To make Innis & Gunn we hand-select barrels which are packed with the most delicious oak flavors. Over many weeks our unique maturation slowly unlocks these flavors from deep inside the oake grain, the beer growing in character with every hour that passes. Only when it has matured to perfection do we bottle and release it. The result is a refreshing honey-hued beer with aromas of vanilla and toffee, and a malty, lightly oaked finish.
Here is their website and twitter addresses:

Closing out the tab, just like the Kentucky Barrel Aged Ale, this beer is not a stout but an ale. I really love this beer but the price turns me off a little bit. I understand the price point because it is an import beer and the process it goes through. There is a ton of flavor going on in this beer. To me, what makes this beer so special, it is the complex tasting that is being experience. Your mind is telling you that you are tasting this but then your taste tells you something in the beer. It is drinkable and exetremely fun to drink. Thanks to my friend for sharing this beer with me! Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/

Celebrities are always smaller in person.
Friday, March 13, 2015
Sid Caesar
The summer after my first year of teaching video and photography at the Atlanta College Art in 1976 I got a fellowship at WSB - the local NBC TV station. I had no real idea what I would do there other than get exposure to TV production. But one of the perks was meeting celebrities that came to the station. There were a number of them - John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Joel Gray, Carol Channing - more later about some of them - but the highlight for me was Sid Caesar. I had grown up watching Your Show of Shows and other productions he had done. I knew a lot of the bits by heart. That day he had a cold and was a little grumpy at his interview but gracious anyway. I was allowed to record the interview with my reel to reel black and white half inch video gear which he got a kick out of - shooting him in B&W. I forget now most of what was said in the excitement of doing the shoot. The tragedy struck when I got back to the art school studio and realized I had threaded the tape backwards and didn't record a thing. A Syd Caesar gag if there ever was one.

BIM construction process keeps project on time and on budget
Project summary
The Butler Water Reclamation Facility processes 10 million gallons of wastewater each day and provides Peoria, Arizona, with a valuable renewable water resource. Using a Building Information Modeling (BIM) construction process, Sundt Construction kept this US$135 million public works project on time and on budget.
Sundt Construction
Butler Water Reclamation Facility
Reduce change orders and RFIs
Compared to traditional 2D methods, the use of BIM resulted in no notable change orders, 84% fewer RFIs, and more than 6,000 hours saved on concrete rework alone.
Resolve interferences early
The team was able to identify and resolve more than US$200,000 in interferences on the project before construction began. In addition, the intelligent model provided a valuable foundation for clear communication with stakeholders.
Gain constructability insight
Using BIM solutions, the team could visualize how the complex piping and utilities interfaced with structural elements. This insight helped the team develop a design that supported cost-effective and efficient construction.
Minimize rework
With insights provided through use of the intelligent model, the team determined that there was 67% less concrete rework, thereby improving ability to control costs.

Mellowing with age
|CC Image
However for the past few years, my parents have entered a different era. They go on adventures to bee farms in Louisiana or road trips to Colorado. Or take the random secret trip to Vegas without telling the kids. Nowadays, my dad is always down for Siri's crazy ideas and plans and is surprising me with the shenanigans that he comes up with. When we break things / spill / ruin everything like the accident prone people we are, they no longer look up in alarm and with fury in their eyes. They just go along their business and dismiss our apologies and tell us it's "No Big Deal."
Case in point: today I almost set my parents' kitchen on fire. I was trying to bake cinnamon raisin bread (that made with the mixer) and was preheating the oven. I forgot that my parents oftentimes store things in their oven when it's not in use and a Silpat nonstick baking sheet caught fire in the process. The kitchen was smoking and a layer of fine white dust covered the entire interior of the oven. Not only did my Dad NOT freak out but he also helped me clean the oven to where it's almost like brand new.
I don't know about y'all but I'm both a little nervous and a little relieved about these new parents. And a little part of me also wonders what they did with my real parents.

Manager, Supplier Strategy and Operations at Bizly
Bizly is building the world's best way for teams to organize business gatherings. We believe that events should be easy to organize, measurable, and scalable. We've built the world's first modern, intuitive, enterprise software for events… aiming to join companies like Slack and Zoom in redefining the way we work.
We have recently signed on several new SaaS clients at the top of the Fortune 100, raised capital from leading strategic investors, and hired some brilliant thinkers onto our team.
We are now seeking a leader to own our supplier strategy, relationships and content.Responsibilities
There are three main things that you will own:
- Hospitality supplier content: you will own our hospitality supplier database and content. This means you will own our relationships with content API providers, and you will have direct oversight on the maintenance of our database, working with our product team (on voice and tone), engineers (on API updates), content contractors (on expansion) and/or identifying new resources as required to oversee the growth of our directory. You will build intelligent systems to rapidly scale and quality control our venue directory.
- Hospitality supplier relationships and partnerships: as a "no commission" platform in the events world, we are looking to extend our industry presence rapidly. Initially, you will be responsible for outreach across hotels, restaurants, activities, and unique venues (later bringing on a sales resource). You will work with our product and engineering team to develop products that make it easy for these venue groups to manage their own content and get business from Bizly.
- International growth: You will be responsible for strategizing and executing the growth of our hospitality directory in Europe and Asia. Here you will work with our sales and operations team, and you will be involved in leading an effort to internationalize our directory.
The following is what matters most:
- Track Record: we are looking for a proven market-facing manager who has played a lead role, ideally at a fast-growing software company. This role is a combination of business development and operations, so we are looking for someone who can straddle both.
- Hands-On Mindset: while we don't expect you to spend much of your time editing a content database in the long run, we are looking for someone who is very comfortable getting into the trenches so that we can iterate and grow with precision.
- Culture Fit: most importantly, we are looking for someone who fits our culture and values. We are looking for a detail-oriented manager for this position
Bizly is the world's leading self-service events platform. Our innovative technology enables anyone on the team to easily build, manage, and measure events. We support enterprise customers through built-in compliance, comparison and reporting tools. We're venture-backed and growing fast, and we are transforming the multi-billion-dollar corporate events market.Our values
- Champion unlocking the power of gathering for millions
- Fanatic focus on using context to deliver simple and intuitive solutions
- Diversity and divergent viewpoints are required to complete the picture
- Be humble, accountable, and constantly improve
- Confront bitter truths and proactively solve problems
- Woot! Celebrate wins at every level
- Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage
- Incredible office with unlimited snacks and wellness center on-premise
- Company-funded travel to conferences & professional development events
- Fun work environment and company culture with an upbeat, first-class team
- Regular in-office social events, including happy hours, and more
- Unlimited vacation policy
- Competitive salary with equity options
Bizly is a growing team working to build the world's leading platform that powers human connection. We embrace and celebrate diversity. At Bizly, we are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, or veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.

Book II Chapter XVI
Her vague, unreal existence continued. It seemed in some previous life-time that Billy had gone away, that another life-time would have to come before he returned. She still suffered from insomnia. Long nights passed in succession, during which she never closed her eyes. At other times she slept through long stupors, waking stunned and numbed, scarcely able to open her heavy eyes, to move her weary limbs. The pressure of the iron band on her head never relaxed. She was poorly nourished. Nor had she a cent of money. She often went a whole day without eating. Once, seventy-two hours elapsed without food passing her lips. She dug clams in the marsh, knocked the tiny oysters from the rocks, and gathered mussels.
And yet, when Bud Strothers came to see how she was getting along, she convinced him that all was well. One evening after work, Tom came, and forced two dollars upon her. He was terribly worried. He would like to help more, but Sarah was expecting another baby. There had been slack times in his trade because of the strikes in the other trades. He did not know what the country was coming to. And it was all so simple. All they had to do was see things in his way and vote the way he voted. Then everybody would get a square deal. Christ was a Socialist, he told her.
"Christ died two thousand years ago," Saxon said.
"Well?" Tom queried, not catching her implication.
"Think," she said, "think of all the men and women who died in those two thousand years, and socialism has not come yet. And in two thousand years more it may be as far away as ever. Tom, your socialism never did you any good. It is a dream."
"It wouldn't be if――" he began with a flash of resentment.
"If they believed as you do. Only they don't. You don't succeed in making them."
"But we are increasing every year," he argued.
"Two thousand years is an awfully long time," she said quietly.
Her brother's tired face saddened as he noted. Then he sighed:
"Well, Saxon, if it's a dream, it is a good dream."
"I don't want to dream," was her reply. "I want things real. I want them now."
And before her fancy passed the countless generations of the stupid lowly, the Billys and Saxons, the Berts and Marys, the Toms and Sarahs. And to what end? The salt vats and the grave. Mercedes was a hard and wicked woman, but Mercedes was right. The stupid must always be under the heels of the clever ones. Only she, Saxon, daughter of Daisy who had written wonderful poems and of a soldier-father on a roan war-horse, daughter of the strong. generations who hall won half a world from wild nature and the savage Indian――no, she was not stupid. It was as if she suffered false imprisonment. There was some mistake. She would find the way out.
With the two dollars she bought a sack of flour and half a sack of potatoes. This relieved the monotony of her clams and mussels. Like the Italian and Portuguese women, she gathered driftwood and carried it home, though always she did it with shamed pride, timing her arrival so that it would be after dark. One day, on the mud-flat side of the Rock Wall, an Italian fishing boat hauled up on the sand dredged from the channel. From the top of the wall Saxon watched the men grouped about the charcoal brazier, eating crusty Italian bread and a stew of meat and vegetables, washed down with long draughts of thin red wine. She envied them their freedom that advertised itself in the heartiness of their meal, in the tones of their chatter and laughter, in the very boat itself that was not tied always to one place and that carried them wherever they willed. Afterward, they dragged a seine across the mud-flats and up on the sand, selecting for themselves only the larger kinds of fish. Many thousands of small fish, like sardines, they left dying on the sand when they sailed away. Saxon got a sackful of the fish, and was compelled to make two trips in order to carry them home, where she salted them down in a wooden washtubs
Her lapses of consciousness continued. The strangest thing she did while in such condition was on Sandy Beach. There she discovered herself, one windy afternoon, lying in a hole she had dug, with sacks for blankets. She had even roofed the hole in rough fashion by means of drift wood and marsh grass. On top of the grass she had piled sand.
Another time she came to herself walking across the marshes, a bundle of driftwood, tied with bale-rope, on her shoulder. Charley Long was walking beside her. She could see his face in the starlight. She wondered dully how long he had been talking, what he had said. Then she was curious to hear what he was saying. She was not afraid, despite his strength, his wicked nature, and tho loneliness and darkness of the marsh.
"It's a shame for a girl like you to have to do this," he was saying, apparently in repetition of what he had already urged. "Come on an' say the word, Saxon. Come on an' say the word."
Saxon stopped and quietly faced him.
"Listen, Charley Long. Billy's only doing thirty days, and his time is almost up. When he gets out your life won't be worth a pinch of salt if I tell him you've been bothering me. Now listen. If you go right now away from here, and stay away, I won't tell him. That's all I've got to say."
The big blacksmith stood in scowling indecisions his face pathetic in its fierce yearning, his hands making unconscious, clutching contractions.
"Why, you little, small thing," he said desperately, "I could break you in one hand. I could――why, I could do anything I wanted. I don't want to hurt you, Saxon. You know that. Just say the word――"
"I've said the only word I'm going to say."
"God!" he muttered in involuntary admiration. "You ain't afraid. You ain't afraid."
They faced each other for long silent minutes.
"Why ain't you afraid?" he demanded at last, after peering into the surrounding darkness as if searching for her hidden allies.
"Because I married a man," Saxon said briefly. "And now you'd better go."
When he had gone she shifted the load of wood to her other shoulder and started on, in her breast a quiet thrill of pride in Billy. Though behind prison bars, still she leaned against his strength. The mere naming of him was sufficient to drive away a brute like Charley Long.
On the day that Otto Frank was hanged she remained indoors. The evening papers published the account. There had been no reprieve. In Sacramento was a railroad Governor who might reprieve or even pardon bank-wreckers and grafters, but who dared not lift his finger for a workingman. All this was the talk of the neighborhood. It had been Billy's talk. It had been Bert's talk.
The next day Saxon started out the Rock Wall, and the specter of Otto Frank walked by her side. And with him was a dimmer, mistier specter that she recognized as Billy. Was he, too, destined to tread his way to Otto Frank's dark end? Surely so, if the blood and strike continued. He was a fighter. He felt he was right in fighting. It was easy to kill a man. Even if he did not intend it, some time, when he was slugging a scab, the scab would fracture his skull on a stone curbing or a cement sidewalk. And then Billy would hang. That was why Otto Frank hanged. He had not intended to kill Henderson. It was only by accident that Henderson's skull was fractured. Yet Otto Frank had been hanged for it just the same.
She wrung her hands and wept loudly as she stumbled among the windy rocks. The hours passed, and she was lost to herself and her grief. When she came to she found herself on the far end of the wall where it jutted into the bay between the Oakland and Alameda Moles. But she could see no wall. It was the time of the full moon, and the unusual high tide covered the rocks. She was knee deep in the water, and about her knees swam scores of big rock rats, squeaking and fighting, scrambling to climb upon her out of the flood. She screamed with fright and horror, and kicked at them. Some dived and swam away under water; others circled about her warily at a distance; and one big fellow laid his teeth into her shoe. Him she stepped on and crushed with her free foot. By this time, though still trembling, she was able coolly to consider the situation. She waded to a stout stick of driftwood a few feet away, and with this quickly cleared a space about herself.
A grinning small boy, in a small, bright-painted and half-decked skiff, sailed close in to the wall and let go his sheet to spill the wind. "Want to get aboard?" he called.
"Yes," she answered. "There are thousands of big rats here. I'm afraid of them."
He nodded, ran close in, spilled the wind from his sail, the boat's way carrying it gently to her.
"Shove out its bow," he commanded. "That's right. I don't want to break my centerboard…… An' then jump aboard in the stern――quick!――alongside of me."
She obeyed, stepping in lightly beside him. He held the tiller up with his elbow, pulled in on the sheet, and as the sail filled the boat sprang away over the rippling water.
"You know boats," the boy said approvingly.
He was a slender, almost frail lad, of twelve or thirteen years, though healthy enough, with sunburned freckled face and large gray eyes that were clear and wistful.
Despite his possession of the pretty boat, Saxon was quick to sense that he was one of them, a child of the people.
"First boat I was ever in, except ferryboats," Saxon laughed.
He looked at her keenly. "Well, you take to it like a duck to water is all I can say about it. Where d'ye want me to land you?"
He opened his mouth to speak, gave her another long look, considered for a space, then asked suddenly: "Got plenty of time?"
She nodded.
"All day?"
Again she nodded.
"Say――I'll tell you, I'm goin' out on this ebb to Goat Island for rockcod, an' I'll come in on the flood this evening. I got plenty of lines an' bait. Want to come along7 We can both fish. And what you catch you can have."
Saxon hesitated. The freedom and motion of the small boat appealed to her. Like the ships she had envied, it was outbound.
"Maybe you'll drown me," she parleyed.
The boy threw back his head with pride.
"I guess I've been sailin' many a long day by myself, an' I ain't drowned yet."
"All right," she consented. "Though remember, I don't know anything about boats."
"Aw, that's all right.――Now I'm goin' to go about. When I say 'Hard a-lee!' like that, you duck your head so the boom don't hit you, an' shift over to the other side."
He executed the maneuver, Saxon obeyed, and found herself sitting beside him on the opposite side of the boat, while the boat itself, on the other tack, was heading toward Long Wharf where the coal bunkers were. She was aglow with admiration, the more so because the mechanics of boat-sailing was to her a complex and mysterious thing.
"Where did you learn it all?" she inquired.
"Taught myself, just naturally taught myself. I liked it, you see, an' what a fellow likes he's likeliest to do. This is my second boat. My first didn't have a centerboard. I bought it for two dollars an' learned a lot, though it never stopped leaking. What d 'ye think I paid for this one? It's worth twenty-five dollars right now. What d 'ye think I paid for it?"
"I give up," Saxon said. "How much?"
"Six dollars. Think of it! A boat like this! Of course I done a lot of work, an' the sail cost two dollars, the oars one forty, an' the paint one seventy-five. But just the same eleven dollars and fifteen cents is a real bargain. It took me a long time saving for it, though. I carry papers morning and evening――there's a boy taking my route for me this afternoon――I give 'm ten cents, an' all the extras he sells is his; and I'd a-got the boat sooner only I had to pay for my shorthand lessons. My mother wants me to become a court reporter. They get sometimes as much as twenty dollars a day. Gee! But I don't want it. It's a shame to waste the money on the lessons."
"What do you want?" she asked, partly from idleness, and yet with genuine curiosity; for she felt drawn to this boy in knee pants who was so confident and at the same time so wistful.
"What do I want?" he repeated after her.
Turning his head slowly, he followed the sky-line, pausing especially when his eyes rested landward on the brown Contra Costa hills, and seaward, past Alcatraz, on the Golden Glate. The wistfulness in his eyes was overwhelming and went to her heart.
"That," he said, sweeping the circle of the world with a wave of his arm.
"That?" she queried.
He looked at her, perplexed in that he had not made his meaning clear.
"Don't you ever feel that way?" he asked, bidding for sympathy with his dream. "Don't you sometimes feel you'd die if you didn't know what's beyond them hills an' what's beyond the other hills behind them hills? An' the Golden Gate! There's the Pacific Ocean beyond, and China, an' Japan, an' India, an'. …… an' all the coral islands. You can go anywhere out through the Golden Gate――to Australia, to Africa, to the seal islands, to the North Pole, to Cape Horn. Why, all them places are just waitin' for me to come an' see 'em. I've lived in Oakland all my life, but I'm not going to live in Oakland the rest of my life, not by a long shot. I'm goin' to get away. …… away. ……"
Again, as words failed to express the vastness of his desire, the wave of his arm swept the circle of the world.
Saxon thrilled with him. She too, save for her earlier childhood, had lived in Oakland all her life. And it had been a good place in which to live. …… until now. And now, in all its nightmare horror, it was a place to get away from, as with her people the East had been a place to get away from. And why not? The world tugged at her, and she felt in touch with the lad's desire. Now that she thought of it, her race had never been given to staying long in one place. Always it had been on the move. She remembered back to her mother's tales, and to the wood engraving in her scrapbook where her half-clad forebears, sword in hand, leaped from their lean beaked boats to do battle on the blood-drenched sands of England.
"Did you ever hear about the Anglo-Saxons?" she asked the boy.
"You bet!" His eyes glistened, and he looked at her with new interest. "I'm an Anglo-Saxon, every inch of me. Look at the color of my eyes, my skin. I'm awful white where I ain't sunburned. An' my hair was yellow when I was a baby. My mother says it'll be dark brown by the time I'm grown up, worse luck. Just the same, I'm Anglo-Saxon. I am of a fighting race. We ain't afraid of nothin'. This bay――think I'm afraid of it!" He looked out over the water with flashing eye of scorn. "Why, I've crossed it when it was howlin' an' when the scow schooner sailors said I lied an' that I didn't. Huh! They were only squareheads. Why, we licked their kind thousands of years ago. We lick everything we go up against. We've wandered all over the world, licking the world. On the sea, on the land, it's all the same. Look at Ivory Nelson, look at Davy Crockett, look at Paul Jones, look at Clive, an' Kitchener, an' Fremont, an' Kit Carson, an' all of 'em."
Saxon nodded, while he continued, her own eyes shining, and it came to her what a glory it would be to be the mother of a man-child like this. Her body ached with the fancied quickening of unborn life. A good stock, a good stock, she thought to herself. Then she thought of herself and Billy, healthy shoots of that same stock, yet condemned to childlessness because of the trap of the manmade world and the curse of being herded with the stupid ones.
She came back to the boy.
"My father was a soldier in the Civil War," he was telling her, "a scout an' a spy. The rebels were going to hang him twice for a spy. At the battle of Wilson's Creek he ran half a mile with his captain wounded on his back. He's got a bullet in his leg right now, just above the knee. It's been there all these years. He let me feel it once. He was a buffalo hunter and a trapper before the war. He was sheriff of his county when he was twenty years old. An' after the war, when he was marshal of Silver City, he cleaned out the bad men an' gun-fighters. He's been in almost every state in the Union. He could wrestle any man at the railings in his day, an' he was bully of the raftsmen of the Susquehanna when he was only a youngster. His father killed a man in a standup fight with a blow of his fist when he was sixty years old. An' when he was seventy-four, his second wife had twins, an' he died when he was plowing in the field with oxen when he was ninety-nine years old. He just unyoked the oxen, an' sat down under a tree, an' died there sitting up. An' my father's just like him. He's pretty old now, but he ain't afraid of nothing. He's a regular Anglo-Saxon, you see. He's a special policeman, an' he didn't do a thing to the strikers in some of the fightin'. He had his face all cut up with a rock, but he broke his club short off over some hoodlum's head."
He paused breathlessly and looked at her.
"Gee!" he said. "I'd hate to a-ben that hoodlum."
"My name is Saxon," she said.
"Your name?"
"My first name."
"Gee!" he cried. "You're lucky. Now if mine had been only Erling――you know, Erling the Bold――or Wolf, or Swen, or Jarl!"
"What is it?" she asked.
"Only John," he admitted sadly. "But I don't let 'em call one John. Everybody's got to call me Jack. I've scrapped with a dozen fellows that tried to call me John, or Johnnie――wouldn't that make you sick?――Johnnie!"
They were now off the coal bunkers of Long Wharf, and the boy put the skiff about, heading toward San Francisco. They were well out in the open bay. The west wind had strengthened and was whitecapping the strong ebb tide. The boat drove merrily along. When splashes of spray flew aboard, wetting them, Saxon laughed, and the boy surveyed her with approval. They passed a ferryboat, and the passengers on the upper deck crowded to one side to watch them. In the swell of the steamer's wake, the skiff shipped quarter-full of water. Saxon picked up an empty can and looked at the boy.
"That's right," he said. "Go ahead an' bale out." And, when she had finished: "We'll fetch Goat Island next tack. Right there off the Torpedo Station is where we fish, in fifty feet of water an' the tide runnin' to beat the band. You're wringing wet, ain't you? Gee! You're like your name. You're a Saxon, all right. Are you married?"
Saxon nodded, and the boy frowned.
"What'd you want to do that for, Now you can't wander over the world like I'm going to. You're tied down. You're anchored for keeps."
"It's pretty good to be married, though," she smiled.
"Sure, everybody gets married. But that's no reason to be in a rush about it. Why couldn't you wait a while, like me, I'm goin' to get married, too, but not until I'm an old man an' have been everywheres."
Under the lee of Goat Island, Saxon obediently sitting still, he took in the sail, and, when the boat had drifted to a position to suit him, he dropped a tiny anchor. He got out the fish lines and showed Saxon how to bait her hooks with salted minnows. Then they dropped the lines to bottom, where they vibrated in the swift tide, and waited for bites.
"They'll bite pretty soon," he encouraged. "I've never failed but twice to catch a mess here. What d'ye say we eat while we're waiting?"
Vainly she protested she was not hungry. He shared his lunch with her with a boy's rigid equity, even to the half of a hard-boiled egg and the half of a big red apple.
Still the rockcod did not bite. From under the stern-sheets he drew out a cloth-bound book.
"Free Library," he vouchsafed, as he began to read, with one hand holding the place while with the other he waited for the tug on the fishline that would announce rockcod.
Saxon read the title. It was "Afloat in the Forest."
"Listen to this," he said after a few minutes, and he read several pages descriptive of a great flooded tropical forest being navigated by boys on a raft.
"Think of that!" he concluded. "That's the Amazon river in flood time in South America. And the world's full of places like that――everywhere, most likely, except Oakland. Oakland's just a place to start from, I guess. Now that's adventure, I want to tell you. Just think of the luck of them boys! All the same, some day I'm going to go over the Andes to the headwaters of the Amazon, all through the rubber country, an' canoe down the Amazon thousands of miles to its mouth where it's that wide you can't see one bank from the other an' where you can scoop up perfectly fresh water out of the ocean a hundred miles from land."
But Saxon was not listening. One pregnant sentence had caught her fancy. Oakland just a place to start from. She had never viewed the city in that light. She had accepted it as a place to live in, as an end in itself. But a place to start from! Why not! Why not like any railroad station or ferry depot! Certainly, as things were going, Oakland was not a place to stop in. The boy was right. It was a place to start from. But to go where? Here she was halted, and she was driven from the train of thought by a strong pull and a series of jerks on the line. She began to haul in, hand under hand, rapidly and deftly, the boy encouraging her, until hooks, sinker, and a big gasping rockcod tumbled into the bottom of the boat. The fish was free of the hook, and she baited afresh and dropped the line over. The boy marked his place and closed the book.
"They'll be biting soon as fast as we can haul 'em in," he said.
But the rush of fish did not come immediately.
"Did you ever read Captain Mayne Reid?" he asked. "Or Captain Marryatt? Or Ballantyne?"
She shook her head.
"And you an Anglo-Saxon!" he cried derisively. "Why, there's stacks of 'em in the Free Library. I have two cards, my mother's an' mine, an' I draw 'em out all the time, after school, before I have to carry my papers. I stick the books inside my shirt, in front, under the suspenders. That holds 'em. One time, deliverin' papers at Second an' Market――there's an awful tough gang of kids hang out there――I got into a fight with the leader. He hauled off to knock my wind out, an' he landed square on a book. You ought to seen his face. An' then I landed on him. An' then his whole gang was goin' to jump on me, only a couple of iron-molders stepped in an' saw fair play. I gave 'em the books to hold."
"Who won?" Saxon asked.
"Nobody," the boy confessed reluctantly. "I think I was lickin' him, but the molders called it a draw because the policeman on the beat stopped us when we'd only teen fightin' half an hour. But you ought to seen the crowd. I bet there was five hundred――"
He broke off abruptly and began hauling in his line. Saxon, too, was hauling in. And in the next couple of hours they caught twenty pounds of fish between them.
That night, long after dark, the little, half-decked skiff sailed up the Oakland Estuary. The wind was fair but light, and the boat moved slowly, towing a long pile which the boy had picked up adrift and announced as worth three dollars anywhere for the wood that was in it. The tide flooded smoothly under the full moon, and Saxon recognized the points they passed――the Transit slip, Sandy Beach, the shipyards, the nail works, Market street wharf. The boy took the skiff in to a dilapidated boat-wharf at the foot of Castro street, where the scow schooners, laden with sand and gravel, lay hauled to the shore in a long row. He insisted upon an equal division of the fish, because Saxon had helped catch them, though he explained at length the ethics of flotsam to show her that the pile was wholly his.
At Seventh and Poplar they separated, Saxon walking on alone to Pine street with her load of fish. Tired though she was from the long day, she had a strange feeling of well-being, and, after cleaning the fish, she fell asleep wondering, when good times came again, if she could persuade Billy to get a boat and go out with her on Sundays as she had gone out that day.

Today's blessing...the best Doctor in the whole wide world...Dr. Baker! Ok, this is a picture of a picture, and probably not the best one I'll ever take, but I thought it might be a little creepy of me to take my camera to our appt. and ask if I could take a picture of her. Am I right here? None the less, she is SO my blessing of the day. Her clinic was built about a block away from my house only a few months before Anna was born. I was randomly paired with her because she was new, and boy was I lucky! At a time when I was feeling totally unprepared and lost, she listened and talked with me patiently, held my hand every step of the way, and gave me some very needed encouragement. It might sound silly that she would say, "You're doing a good job," but I really needed to hear it. Hopefully, someday she'll read this and know what a joy she has been in my life. Yay for God putting the right people in your life at the right time! What a blessing!

Mobile milling for a very locally sourced frame
On 16/02/2015
We are constructing an oak framed extension from timber sourced from the immediate vicinity. The landowner has felled and stored the timbers for a long period of time, most of which had fully dried out and subsequently lost bark and sapwood to rot. A true testament to the durability of oak is that the heartwood is immaculate!
This can be seen in the following picture.
The timbers are loaded on to the mobile sawmill, skillfully operated by Tim at http://easterncountiesmobilesawmilling.co.uk/
Each face is skimmed once, before being rotated and finally sized to the desired proportions.
The following video demonstrates the speed and efficiency of one cut.

A northern neighbor is a world to explore.
Canada is huge — the second-largest country by area. It's also a world unto itself, with cosmopolitan cities, barely explored natural wonders and everything in between. And this is the year to visit: In honor of the 150th anniversary of its confederation, when the original colonies came together as one country, Canada is rolling out the welcome mat. All of the country's more than 200 national parks and historic sites are offering free admission through the year, from the turquoise lakes and mountain peaks of Banff in Alberta to the rolling dunes and red sandstone cliffs of Prince Edward Island along the Atlantic Coast to the newest reserve, the glacial-rounded Mealy Mountains in Labrador. Meanwhile, in the capital, Ottawa, a full year of celebration is planned; more events will be on offer in Montreal, which turns 375. And did we mention the exchange rate? A weak Canadian dollar means American travelers get more for their money. So 2017 offers an ideal time to go north. — REMY SCALZA

NAU Psalm 34:9 O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. 10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.
NIV Psalm 34:9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
KJV Psalm 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
There's that word again – FEAR the LORD! 'Yirah' makes another appearance! Those who fear the LORD are reminded (commanded) to keep their focus – not on their circumstances but on the LORD! The inexperienced (i.e. the young lions) lose their focus and put it on their circumstances rather than the LORD. When they lose their focus they experience suffering. But when they have a proper focus (verse 10) they do not lack His care and attention.
Are you afflicted? Keep your focus on the LORD. He promises protection for those who fear/reverence Him. When this focus is maintained they will experience the fullness of the LORD's protection.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 - Finally, An Enthusiast's Dual Core
Again from more of a synthetic testing perspective, we have FutureMark's PCMark05 and specifically have run the suite's CPU and Memory test modules. Our philosophy with respect to "synthetic" benchmarks, like PCMark05, is that while the end user doesn't have complete access to the applications or measurements that are run and tabulated in these various test scenarios, it does give a perspective of potential performance within a computing architecture and it's capabilities within a group of specific tasks. Furthermore, synthetic testing sometimes affords the ability to provide a "look-ahead", if you will, of new usage models that perhaps do not exist in current applications available on the market. All told, we feel synthetic benchmarks are a component of a complete product performance profile, targeted at complimenting critical real-world application testing.
"The CPU test suite is a collection of tests that are run to isolate the performance of the CPU. The CPU Test Suite also includes multithreading: two of the test scenarios are run multithreaded; the other including two simultaneous tests and the other running four tests simultaneously. The remaining six tests are run single threaded. Operations include, File Compression/Decompression, Encryption/Decryption, Image Decompression, and Audio Compression..."
- Courtesy FutureMark Corp.
PCMark05's CPU performance module is a multi-threaded test that benefits from not only the second core on the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 but also Intel's HyperThreading technology, running more than two threads at time but potentially up to four, 2 logically per core. This makes the EE 955 appear as four virtual 3.46GHz processors to a benchmark like this one, hence the high score. According to PCMark05 the EE 955 outscores AMD's Athlon 64 FX-60 by 656 points, or approximately 12%.
"The Memory test suite is a collection of tests that isolate the performance of the memory subsystem. The memory subsystem consists of various devices on the PC. This includes the main memory, the CPU internal cache (known as the L1 cache) and the external cache (known as the L2 cache). As it is difficult to find applications that only stress the memory, we explicitly developed a set of tests geared for this purpose. The tests are written in C++ and assembly. They include: Reading data blocks from memory, Writing data blocks to memory performing copy operations on data blocks, random access to data items and latency testing."
- Courtesy FutureMark Corp.
The scores reported by PCMark05's memory performance module are relatively mixed for various reasons. The single-core Athlon 64-FX 57 and 3.73GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition post the highest scores because they don't share a memory controller with a second hardware level execution core. Beyond that, it's all about CPU system bus speed and bandwidth, as well as system memory interface speed, bandwidth, and related latencies. From strictly a dual-core performance perspective the two competing architectures are fairly well matched here, with a virtual dead heat between Intel's latest Pentium EE 955 and the AMD Athlon 64 FX-60.

In the Year 1's session today they was set the same task we had last year, to model assets with a restricted polycount to make them aware of polycount limits in games also known as a budget.
They proceeded to model the items they had drawn by card and by the end of the session handed in what they had got. Paul then proposed for the guitar controller to be done by next week in 128 polys to everyones disbelief and shock, operant conditioning was applied to this of a reward of a sausage roll if someone could complete it in half of that so 64 poly's…challenge accepted. Realising i did the guitar last year i did it in 188 polys, now i thought it would be beneficial to myself to try model it again as fast as i could in as low poly as possible.
In around 5 minutes i had a 88 poly guitar, loosing some loops and strategically placing certain edges to create a similar shape without the loop i managed to get it down to 68. Not much could be seen to do, then i realised i still had my reference image underneath my model for shape…this cut it down to 48. So i had won id done it, but i didnt stop there i wanted to optimise it to the lowest possible it could be still looking like a guitar.
Fully optimised I managed to get it to 39 poly's by this time a had the majority of first year surrounding me.
So in around 15minutes i had a 39 poly guitar, which was modelled in 5minutes then it just took some thinking to how i could keep the shape but lower the polycount. In comparison to last years 188 which admittedly i loaded up and it was horrific topology I can clearly see how much i have come on since this time last year. The 1st years now dislike me as I have proved it can be done and in very little time giving them no excuses…sorry guys!

Impetuous words flung out to hurt
can't be recalled like hoovering dirt;
internet reader rushing to blurt
out first reaction smug and pert
which quickly 'goes viral' by those alert
to stir up trouble and strife far and wide –
no longer deleteable, can't press 'hide',
consequences no-one can now detect,
there may be a distant and far-off effect
– whom did it influence, provoke and affect?
spoken or written, don't let your words fly
carelessly sending them out to the sky
heedless of where they may land and lie
to foster some good, or fester, inflame
tempers or worries or bitter shame.

I kept thinking 'true, true' as I read your poem. It reminds me of how easily people say hurtful things. Once posted there is no retracting them. The old saying 'less is more' applies to words too.

Thought provoking piece,
Thought provoking piece, Rhiannon, and certainly struck a chord with me. I get particularly fed up with the constant excuse 'Ooops, I misspoke'. Well think what you're saying before opening trap or putting fingers to keyboard then! And yes, people do pile in all guns blazing before properly reading what's been said or thinking whether or not they actually have anything useful to contribute.

many clever lines in this,
many clever lines in this, particularly like the idea of hoovering up things wished unsaid! I know from my son talking to his friends online in chat writing how easy it is for things which if said with your voice would be known as a joke can seem rude when there's no sound of smiling.
very wise poem

Happy Thanksgiving + Holiday Hoedown Update for Week 1!
Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful holiday! I'm so looking forward to it! We'll be doing the arduous journey of about 1 mile to Mr. Handsome-and-Handy's brother's family's place and sharing the day with them. We'll be bringing fresh fruit (salad or tray, I'm still deciding) and steamed broccoli, as well as rolls and pumpkin pie, and they and our sister-in-law's family will be doing all the other stuff. (They always BBQ their turkey, which makes it nice and smoky and crispy...yum!)
I'm so humbly thankful for all of the good stuff during the year. I'm especially thankful that we had good news from Mr. Handsome-and-Handy's eye appointment yesterday. His eye pressure is back to normal and all of the restrictions (riding in a car, driving, exertion, reading) are done! He has a bit of fuzziness, but the doctor said that ought to clear up when the dilating eye drops wear off. Follow up appointment in a couple of months. WHEW! Thanks, everyone, for the good thoughts, prayers, etc.!
Holiday Hoedown - Week 1 Update
I'm also grateful for my upbeat and very interactive team, the Tinsel Vixens! Woot!
This past week I was up .4 lb, which I'd be fine with if I wasn't a couple of pounds up from my "happy" weight.
However, I will claim success on meeting the team goals of at least 3 fruit or veggie servings per day (and even though I eat a lot of veggies normally, the weekend was a bit harder that way) and exceeded the 30 minutes x 3 days goal by doing my personal goal of 30+ minutes x 5 days.
I didn't quite hit it all the time with reining in the eating as much as I ought to have done, but I did bring my lunch each day and packed good, healthy stuff. I was especially proud of meeting my basic exercise goals, because the past week was pretty crazy, and I had to do the stationary biking after everyone else was snoozing away for the night, instead of wandering off for a long walk/run or going to the gym at lunch during the week. I was also proud of me for getting in 2 strength days instead of just one. Even though the 2nd one was kind of short, it was more doing something outside of class that was the point.
Blood glucose numbers were also looking a lot better; will report later, as my meter is not handy at the moment.

Namaskaar. This is Part 2 of our series on Introduction to Bhagavad Gita — a beautiful portion of Gita talks and commentary of Pujya Swami Dayananda. Every word is so beautifully explained, almost feels like we are in a LIVE lecture with Pujya Swamiji 🙂
Even though it comes last, moksa is a very important purusartha, as we shall see. Moksa is recognised as a pursuit only by a very few people in any given generation. Because a certain appreciation, a certain maturity or insight, about life and its struggles is required to understand moksa, people do not discerningly pursue it, although everyone is in fact, always seeking freedom in one form or other.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - General Electric Co (GE.N) still expects the grounding of Boeing Co's (BA.N) 737 MAX jetliner to reduce its cash flow by $1.4 billion in 2019, provided the aircraft remains grounded all year, GE Chief Executive Larry Culp said during a conference call on quarterly earnings on Wednesday.
GE and French partner Safran SA (SAF.PA) make engines for the jet.
"As we think about 2020, I think we're going to try to follow Boeing's lead here," Culp said, responding to an analyst question.
"When we talk about the full-year cash headwinds this year due to MAX, that, obviously, assumes that we don't see a return to service this year," he said. He added the forecast is conservative.
GE's chief financial officer, Jamie Miller, said GE still expects "the year to be impacted to the tune of about negative $1.4 billion." She said it was "difficult to predict" the financial impact on GE in 2020 and beyond.
Boeing has said it expects the jet to clear approval by U.S. regulators by year-end. Global aviation regulators grounded the jet after a second fatal crash last March.

Sweet Indian Babe's Exclusive Video Scandal
With shaved brown pussy and perky dark-nippled tits, this young slut from New Delhi proves to be one of the best Indian fuckbabes we've seen. Now that she's got a video, everybody's gonna have an exclusive chance to see her getting pumped 'til she got to her wildest orgasms! First, she willingly spread her bald pussy for us to see, and she even gave us additional thrill when she started diddling it with her fingers. We knew she already wanted to fuck so we gave her a hard-cock man to screw her in all goodness. This Indian sweetheart really had the best raunching we've seen!

One of the UK's fastest growing manufacturers signaled its intentions to move into Asia and the Far East, after it announced a strategic agreement with an Indian powerhouse.
Penso Group, which offers complete turnkey engineering services, has joined forces with Pricol Technologies to open an offshore development centre to produce vehicle platforms and undertake niche vehicle builds for customers in the subcontinent.
The deal – signed by CEO Daniel Hurcombe – will open up a whole new international market for the firm, which currently provides concept design, feasibility analysis and advanced composite capabilities to clients involved in automotive, aerospace and rail.
Engineers from Coventry have been working with their counterparts in Pune to set up the facility and teams have been set up to work on existing and new projects.
"Whilst domestic and European sales have trebled to nearly £20m over the last two years, we still haven't really managed to take our expertise into the rapidly emerging economies of China and India," explained Daniel, who set up Penso with David Roche in 2001.
"We have been searching for an international partner for some time and when we were introduced to the Pricol Group we knew we had found the right organisation. The firm shares similar values to ours and offers cross functional engineering expertise, access to new technologies and a 4000-strong workforce."
He continued: "It will give us an immediate footprint in India and an excellent logistical base to go after new opportunities in the subcontinent and China. There will also be a host of cost advantages that will make us immediately competitive with clients."
Bobby John, CEO of Pricol Technologies, added his support: "This partnership will provide both sets of clients with a competitive advantage by reducing product development costs and minimising the time to market.
"Our unique delivery model of providing high efficiency offshore engineering will also aid Penso in securing a whole new international customer base at a time when its new lightweight technologies are in demand."

There are pros and cons to the recent downpour of rain in our area. One of those cons, you most likely are experiencing now, mosquitoes.
The city health department and Vector Control want you to help manage the population.
"We realistically do not want the mosquitoes to build up to epidemic type level," Coordinator Steven Boston said.
The city and county service stays busy this time of year. Boston said the majority of the pesky bugs right now are flood water mosquitoes.
"We had a massive amount of rain and it rose up," Boston said. "We got the temperature along with that rainfall."
Boston said if you do have low-lying areas around your home, fill it in.
"Make sure that any type of container that might be holding water, that you dump that water out," Boston said.
While they are annoying, Boston said these mosquitoes do not spread diseases. But as we move closer to Summer, that could change if the population is not controlled now.
"The one thing that will help us is if we can go into a period of two to three weeks without having any additional rain," Boston said.
Boston adds they will continue to survey, monitor, and control hot spots. It is also up to the public to do their part.
"It's definitely a big plus and it's much appreciated," Boston said.
If you want to bring a certain area to Vector Control's attention, they have a hotline at 806-775-3110. For a list of resources related to mosquito-borne diseases: https://ci.lubbock.tx.us/departments/health-department/vector-control

Tampa, FL - The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, through the State of Florida Cancer Control and Advisory Council (CCRAB) is sponsoring the SunWise® with Shade® poster contest to be held in the state. All children in the state of Florida, grades K-8 are eligible to enter.
The contest calls for teachers to encourage students to creatively depict skin cancer prevention on a poster no larger than 8 ½ x 11. Artwork should be original and raise sun safety awareness. In addition, the poster should incorporate at least five of the SunWise® action steps for sun safety including: using sunscreen, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, limiting time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., seeking shade on sunny days, covering up to protect the skin and checking the UV (ultraviolet) index daily. Entry forms are available at all schools, grades K-8, throughout the state or can be downloaded from the SHADE Foundation Web site at shadefoundation.org. Entries must be accompanied by the contact form and be postmarked by May 1 and received no later than May 10.
Please mail all entries to: Sue Middleton H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute 12902 Magnolia Drive MRC 209 Tampa, FL 33602
Entries are categorized by grade levels and all posters become the property of the SHADE Foundation. Four regional winners will receive prizes. The grand prize winner will receive a family four pass to Universal Studios, including hotel accommodations. The state winner will be entered in a national Web-based competition to be held in July. Contestants' posters will be judged online by the public. Online voters will be entered into a drawing as an incentive to vote. The overall National Poster Contest winner will receive a one week Disney trip for four with hotel accommodations.
The chance of a child developing skin cancer in his/her lifetime is one in five. In Florida, the risk is even higher. Educating children about the need to take proactive measures is instrumental in preventing future skin cancer cases down the road.
"We need to teach our children to limit the Florida sun not the Florida outdoor fun," says Sue Middleton, CCRAB Coordinator.
The State of Florida Cancer Control and Advisory Council (CCRAB) was created by the Florida Legislature in 1979 (Chapter 240.5121, Florida Statutes).
The Council's mandate includes: Advising the Governor, state Legislature and state agencies on cancer control issues; developing a Florida cancer plan and allocating funds for research and demonstration projects that address the goals of the Florida Cancer Plan. The organization has recently started an initiative to increase sun awareness education in Florida's elementary schools.
SunWise® is a voluntary program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency that aims to teach the public how to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun through the use of classroom-based, school-based, and community-based components. Information about SunWise can be obtained by visiting www.epa.gov/sunwise
The SHADE Foundation of America was founded in 2002 by Shonda Schilling, wife of Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, after her successful battle with melanoma. The Foundation's mission is to eradicate melanoma through the education of children and the community in the prevention and detection of skin cancer and the promotion of sun safety.
In 2001, the National Cancer Institute awarded Moffitt the status of a Comprehensive Cancer Center in recognition of its excellence in research and contributions to clinical trials, prevention and cancer control. Additionally, Moffitt is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, a prestigious alliance of the country's leading cancer centers, and is listed in U.S. News & World Report as one of the top cancer hospitals in America. Moffitt's sole mission is to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.

It's hard to believe that 12 months have passed since Port of Tyne was crowned company of the year at a glittering night at Hardwick Hall.
We are back there again on Thursday May 1st as The Journal and Evening Gazette host the biggest business party in the North East.
The marquee is taking shape and the momentum is gathering.
We have already enjoyed three sub-regional finals in the North East Business Awards and the 11 winning companies from Tyneside & Northumberland, Durham & Wearside and Teesside will go head-to-head for the regional awards.
Also we will crown the Not-For-Profit- and Best Creative Award. Among those 11 categories was a new one for 2014 - the Apprenticeship Award.
This was introduced to recognise companies who already place training and skills at the heart of what they do.
Both The Journal and Evening Gazette are proud of the role we play in the business community and beyond.
Times have been tough in recent years. But these awards have weathered the storm and it is pleasing that our efforts are being recognised through the continuing support from sponsors, particularly our associate sponsors the North East Chamber of Commerce, who have such a momentous milestone birthday coming up in 2015.
Don't miss our our coverage online on the night and in Friday's Journal and Gazette.
Good luck to each and every shortlisted business and please wish everyone luck #nebizawards
