1st November... Now the pressure is off, I feel tired!I suppose that's why a lot of artists have a break from their artwork after an exhibition. I however, will be designing and making more pieces for my jewellery range, especially for the 'hardtofind' website. The Yungaburra Information Centre has asked for quality locally made 'memento' gifts, so I have to think of something that doesn't slip into that murky area of kitschy souvenirs! I also want to make smaller versions of my functional pods for the Cairns Regional Gallery, and the gift shop at the Cooktown Botanic Gardens. Trying to make a living from ceramics is not easy, as one has to be inventive as to not try to compete with all the cheap imports from overseas. I also have to get all my tax stuff done, but I am so not motivated to do that!I just want to disappear into the studio!
Today, I will be making more of those tea cups and some more jewellery to supply Kick Arts in Cairns. I also want to make some moulds of the smaller pods for outlets such as I mentioned in an earlier blog. This afternoon I will be teaching the kids in Finn's class drawing lessons. I get a great response from the kids, considering there are no art classes in Primary School in QLD. I am trying to get them to observe and 'see' what they are drawing. They all love it. Today we will learn about the proportions of the face. Most kids (and adults!) tend to draw the eyes up on top of the face, when the eyes are really half way down the face.
Nov, 20th... I am still focusing on getting things made for the Christmas sales. I have another bisque in the kiln, and I will polish and glaze today, ready for a high fire tomorrow. I will stay with my 'retail products' until after Chrissy when I anticipate a drop in sales. Then I look forward to spending time on my art/sculptural work in the new year. I am also considering doing clay sculpture workshops, and art lessons for kids. I just need the dunny to be installed before that happens! (The studio is too far from the house). I have started sculpting a little curled up platypus so I can make a mould to slip cast little mementoes for the Info centre. I enjoy watching Antiques roadshow on the telly, as I feel I am continuing the porcelain sculpture tradition which was so prevalent in 19th century. I would love to think my pieces would be still in existence and of value in one hundred years time!
After a weekend of socialising and working on our little farm, I haven't been in the studio. This morning I have quite a few hardtofind orders to fulfil and post off. I have to finish a couple of personalised cups for a friend, as well as a few garden cuffs, so I can fill the kiln and fire it asap as I have to fire the little Christmas decorations the preps have made at Yungaburra Primary school. The kids do love the tactile nature of clay- it has a natural smell and malleability that no synthetic substitute can match. The preps will get their decorations by Thursday so they can paint them in all pretty colours and take them home to hang on their Christmas tree!
At 4am, after a little altercation with a night tiger, I have put on a high fire so I can take some more cups down to Kickarts on Tuesday. Those cups have been popular! The kiln is not as full as I would like, but as I am going down to Cairns tomorrow anyway, I thought I had better put on a firing so I had something to take. It is quite tricky to juggle demand and cost effective firings. Luckily my little electric kiln is very efficient since we put on the electric controller, and it has drastically reduced energy consumption. The controller saves evergy by consistently ramping up the power without me having to manually control it. It automatically goes up overnight, and thus makes the firing a lot shorter. It was an expensive outlay at the time, but I think it would paid itself off in energy savings by now.
Last week I made a second mould for my little tea cups as the demand for them has suddenly increased! I have a love/hate relationship with mould making. I hate making them - trying to work out undercuts, trying to get the mould square and level, and if there is the smallest of gaps, the plaster leaks everywhere and makes a disasterous mess! All keeping in mind that plaster should be kept well away from clay as bits of plaster stuck in clay can blow up in the kiln. But I love the fact that I can make reproducible cups time after time. Now that I have two moulds, I can double the production of the little cups. I might finally have enough to display some in my studio as they have always sold out not long after making them.
I am having a much needed holiday from the studio over the Christmas/New Year break. My mind is not so lucky though, as I'm thinking about what I will do over the next 6 months. The hardtofind orders have dried up as expected, so it now gives me time to work on my art work, and this year I would like to focus more on my Lightscapes. I also need to tidy up the studio, make more earring pins, make more pods to fill the display area and order more casting slip powder. I have to order at least a ton of materials to make it worth while to freight it up here, so I have to very careful about what I order! It is always a bit of a gamble as if I order a lot of something and it turns out to be a flop, then it ends up being a very expensive mistake. I think I had better start on that list today....

The sophisticated terror attacks that followed 9/11, the Madrid train station bombing in 2004, the murder of Dutch filmmaker Teo Van Gogh in Amsterdam, and the 7/7 attacks on the London transport system in 2005 have demonstrated the urgency of changing perceptions and policies on the new agenda in terrorism and counter-terrorism studies. Following these dramatic events, the literature of terrorism and counter-terrorism boomed and expanded. However, most of the new publications have analyzed the phenomenon of 'home-grown radicalization,' which leads to terrorism. Home-grown radicalization refers to the self-starting cell(s) and individual(s) mobilized against their host countries with little or no material support from foreign sources. The onslaught of home-grown radicalization has forged a whole new field of empirical study on radicalization, counter-radicalization, deradicalization, and how to counter violent extremism.
Although these new studies have triggered new, multi-disciplinary academic approaches, many states have remained reluctant to change their narrow and traditional counter-terrorism perspective, which served the purpose of fighting against Marxist/Leninist radical left terrorist organizations from the 1970s to the end of the 1980s. In those days, this ideology's terrorist organizations had a hierarchical structure; in order to provide control over the members, they did not recruit large numbers, and consequently most of them consisted of approximately 40-50 members, leader cadre included. Given that, most European countries used police-led counter-terrorism initiatives which sought to penetrate into the terrorist organizations to kill the leader cadre and to learn of the group's future terror plans. After the detention or elimination of the leader cadre, these terrorist organizations fell apart easily.
The new radicalization phenomenon, namely home-grown terrorism, is not easily defused by the police-led counter-terrorism ap

Nahmias et Fils Mahia Fig Brandy
Other Brandy
Nahmias et Fils // New York, USA
Mahia, the national spirit of Morocco, is a fig brandy with a small dose of anise seed. Nahmias et Fils is the only source for locally-produced Mahia in the U.S. It's inspired by a 1900 heirloom Nahmias family recipe. Master Distiller David Nahmias handcrafts small batches of Mahia in New York. It takes about at 5 pounds of carefully selected, California figs to produce each 750 ml bottle of Mahia.
Other BrandyBrandy distilled from any type of fruit-based wine produced anywhere in the world. Not referring to any of the designated or protected areas such as Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, etc.
Cask TypeNone
Tasting Notes
"This unaged spirit is aromatically unique and familiar at the same time. Just the slightest hint of anise you might miss if you aren't looking for it. Aromas of broken pine branches, corn fields, apricot and cherry pits dominate. Medium bodied, velvety texture and quite sweet to start, but a welcome heat soon arrives to balance the sweetness. True to the nose with unripe peach and apricot stone flavors joining in. Drink as a digestif as they did traditionally or try in cocktails incorporating honey."

Speakers: Jean-Sébastien Moore, Assistant Professor, Department of Biology, Université Laval; Marie-Eve Neron, Director of Climate Change and Clean Energy, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada; Angela Nuliayok Rudolph, Master's Student, Arctic and Northern Studies program, University of Alaska Fairbanks
Moderator: David J. Scott, President and CEO, Polar Knowledge Canada
Integrating indigenous knowledge into a scientific program can play a major role in its success:
The Arctic Char Traditional Knowledge Study used indigenous knowledge to successfully determine the path of migrating fish.
The elder-youth knowledge exchange camp (part of the research program supported the community's exchange of information from the elders to the youth) helped the community participate in and inform the research.
Incentives and training should be improved to support scientists in involving indigenous communities in research programs.
Scientists need to better understand the power of the relationship between the communities and the resources they depend on – those resources are the reason why communities were established in those places.
People want to define indigenous knowledge and how they can use it, but a simple definition is hard to come by.
Indigenous traditional knowledge is unique to each community.
Direct translations can lead to inadequate interpretations of indigenous language and terms.
To use indigenous knowledge in research programs, trust must be established and youth and elders should be engaged: this is a way for youth to be valued and for elders to transmit information, which helps to strength communities.
A paradigm shift is needed: the best results occur when communities identify their needs and partner with scientists to find answers.

Hello again. CMDR Maya Ulniian here. Its been almost a year since I graduated from pilot school and took up a mysterious offer of a sidewinder starship and a career as an independent pilot. I had meant to detail each of my exploits along the way but that has clearly fallen by the wayside.
So, what have I been doing? Well, a lot of the time, I've been living vicariously through watching CMDR Cryptography. He's been working as a pilot for a lot longer and has amassed a significant fortune as well as a large fleet of different ships so has a lot more fun options than I do. This makes the motivation to advance my own position somewhat low, especially as I am also now essentially financially independent. For quite a while now I have been flying an Asp Explorer, configured for general mission running and trade. I still have my Diamondback Scout and Vulture but truth be told I've moved on from combat as the primary money making method.
For a time I was running anti-skimmer missions in a couple of systems. The missions were relatively common for a while and the particular systems I was working from tended to target the same planetary factions so I was able to stack up many missions for which the same targets counted for all different employers. Someone on Galnet pointed out that simple dumbfire missiles made killing skimmers even easier than doing it the "right" way in my SRV, so I blew through quite a lot of missions pretty quickly this way. All the factions that I was working for soon had me at allied status and the payouts were often in the several million per mission. I did lose a couple of ships due to poor piloting near the ground but that barely made a dent in the progress I was making. Somewhere along the line, the bases I was attacking hired some muscle and I often had to evade a defending fighting ship. Fighting them close to the ground was generally not wise, but a quick flyby was often enough to get them to follow me away from the base and I then lost them in some nearby canyons. There would then be enough time to come back to the base and nuke any remaining skimmers in relative peace.
Eventually, the economic conditions in the systems changed and skimmer kill missions dried up. I looked for similar opportunities elsewhere for a while but gave up after a few false starts. There are other places offering stacked skimmer destruction missions but I was fairly bored of them by now. By chance, I ended up in the Eleu system, which is the home system of the Social Eleu Progressive Party, a minor faction of pilots who support initiatives for exploration. They took part in the Dangerous Games back when I was a young pilot but unfortunately lost out to EG pilots, who became the 11th major powerplay faction. Perhaps worse, EG pilots were installed in systems very close to Eleu and that caused a certain amount of disruption to SEPP's control of local systems. I started running missions for SEPP and reached out to their public comms channel for guidance on how best to work for their interests in the region - or at least not muck it up!
I have basically made the Eleu region my home for several months now. I am allied with SEPP and most of the other local factions so mission running in this small bubble of systems is pretty lucrative. Probably two-thirds of my net wealth has now come from running missions in this area.
My money generating capacity now is such that I feel no pressure to really work on it in any concerted fashion. I can get more money in an hour or two than the cost of a ship capable of generating money at a decent rate, so its pretty much self sustaining. This means I have no fear of losing ships and can do fun things like race an Eagle through planetary canyons or inside stations.
As mentioned before, I now spend a lot of my time watching CMDR Cryptography instead. He's got a selection of big ships and swarms of smaller ones. We have both been grinding out Federation rank as part of mission running activities and have only got a couple more ranks to go before being able to get access to the Corvette. The grind is real, and harsh, so this is only happening as a side activity to whatever else we are doing. I still intend to go on a longish exploration voyage, probably to Sag A* via Colonia sometime soonish but that is a time commitment I've not yet been able to do.
Until next time,
CMDR Maya Ulniian, 30th March 3303.

Plagiarism in Computer Science Courses
OverviewPlagiarism will not be tolerated at any stage during any Computer Science course. Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic ethical standards and is unfair to other students and the university community. Moreover, plagiarism defeats the main purpose of course work, which is to assist students in learning the course material. Plagiarism is submitting someone else's work as your own. This includes
- material from a published source such as a library book, a journal article, etc.
- material from an on-line software library, web pages, etc.
- the work of another student, friend, relative, etc.
Any person found guilty of plagiarism will be penalised. They should expect to receive zero marks for the work to which it relates, and may receive greater penalties in accordance with the University's Statute on Student Conduct. Any person found guilty of knowingly allowing their work to be copied for the purpose of plagiarism should also expect to receive zero marks, and may receive greater penalities in accordance with the Statute on Student Conduct.The University's Statute on Student Conduct details the full process involved.
NotesThe following notes are intended to help students and staff understand what is and is not acceptable under this policy and what happens when plagiarism is suspected.
- You should always properly cite any work of others that you are including in work that you submit.
- When you use someone else's work in an assignment you should be certain that you are making appropriate use of that work. While citing the work may avoid any question of plagiarism, failure to do the work yourself may mean that the submitted work fails to meet some or all of the requirements of a particular assignment. If in doubt, ask your lecturer.
- Working together does not constitute a satisfactory reason for submitting exactly the same or very similar work. Unless your lecturer has specified that submitting the same work is permitted, both parties will be penalised.
- Any Computer Science course that explicitly requires group work will advise students with respect to each piece of work exactly what degree of cooperation is expected and the degree of collaboration allowed on submitted material.
- Do not lend your work to others. If someone submits work that is the same as or very similar to yours you should expect to be asked to explain and, if the explanation is not satisfactory, to be penalised.
- If you are ever in doubt as to whether some action you have taken may be considered as plagiarism, you should consult your lecturer and/or clearly state on the submitted work the extent of the contribution from others.
Citing the Work of OthersUnder various circumstances, which should be set out in each assignment, it is appropriate or allowed to make use of others work. For example:
- It is standard practice to describe related work in research reports.
- You may be allowed to use someone else's code for a linked list or tree in a 300-level project dealing with operating systems or databases.
Quotations in Essays and ReportsIf you use quotations from books, articles, web pages, etc in an essay or report, cite the source by:
- Marking it as a quotation (for example, use "quotation marks" for a short quotation, or extra indentation for a whole paragraph), and
- Referencing the source you obtained it from (either in the text, as a footnote, or as an endnote). For a publication, give the title, author, date and perhaps a page number. For a web page, cite the URL and author or organisation. Finally, for a quote from an expert, another student or other person, give their name and "Personal communication".

LAKE WALES, Fla. — Adult industry attorney Lawrence G. Walters has been named to represent Kimberly Kupps in her obscenity case.
Kupps earlier this month was arrested by Polk County sheriffs and booked on 13 counts of "wholesale promotion of obscene material" for shooting content out of her home for her website, KimberlyKupps.com.
Walters told www.xbiz.com that he intended to vigorously defend Kupps in her case noting that Sheriff Grady Judd in Polk County has a long history of First Amendment rights violations.
Walters said he hasn't viewed the allegedly obscene material, "since all of our client's computers and media were seized by law enforcement."
Kupps has established a legal defense fund, and hopes that the industry will contribute to this effort to fight the censorship machine in Polk County, Florida"
Donations can be sent to Walters' office (wire/credit card info or checks): Kimberly Kupps Legal Defense Fund, c/o Lawrence G. Walters, Trust Account, 781 Douglas Ave., Altamonte Springs, FL 32714. Or call (407) 975-9150.
A Side Note from Tanya Danielle:
My friend Kimberly Kupps was recently arrested in Florida and charged with 13 counts of "wholesale promotion of obscene material" for shooting adult website content in her home. She has a serious legal battle ahead of her and her case may prove to have ramifications for all adult models who produce their own content. I would like to encourage you to contribute to Kim's legal defense fund. Donations can be sent to her attorney's office:

My good friend, Mila, asked me to decorate some cookies for her daughter's first communion last May 2014. She gave me a photo of Aitana in her first communion dress to give me a more precise picture of what the first communion cookies should look like. Having a photo of the person you want to represent makes a difference. This does not mean that the cookie will look exactly the same as the person in the picture, but it can be of great help to grasp those peculiar and unique details of the person in question. People like these kind of details because in a way, it makes them feel they are part of the cookie.
In this particular case I knew Aitana. Besides, Mila and I had discussed so much about all the First Communion preparations during our work breaks, that I already had a clear mental image of Aitana in her first communion dress.
Aitana is a very beautiful 10-year old girl with dark hair. Her lovely black eyes remind me of those exotic almond-shaped eyes typical of Asian countries. She was clear about the type of dress she wanted to wear: something special but not too excessive. So she ended up choosing a simple but elegant white dress. She also wore a thick, green waistband and a flower crown in her hair.
When I work with royal icing, I normally use two different consistencies: twenty- second icing (for decorating the cookies) and piping icing (for detail work and writing). The twenty-second consistency needs to be thin enough to flow but thick enough not to fall off the cookie. The piping icing is similar to toothpaste consistency and should come out of the bag in a smooth line without breaking.
In these first communion cookies I used twenty-second icing for the dress, the face and neck, the arms, and the hair. The dress details, the flower crown, and the waistband were made using piping icing.
To give dimension to the cookie it is important to apply the icing in different steps. It is true that it takes longer, but the result is much better. In this cookie I started with the face and neck (step 1). Once they were dried, I created the dress (step 2). Next, I did the hair, the dress details and the waistband (step 3). When the hair was dried, I added the flower crown and applied icing for the arms (step 4). Both the eyes and the mouth were painted with edible markers (step 5). If you have to decorate many cookies I would advise to you work in batches of 8-10 cookies at each time, following the above-mentioned steps.
Aitana looked gorgeous that day, and I was really pleased to decorate those cookies for her.

Sleep Smarter with Shawn Stevenson
Aug 30th, 2017
What if I told you the easiest way to lose weight was to go to bed, not go to the gym?
Weird, but true. With better sleep, your mind and body work together to optimize hormone production, physical energy, mental energy, focus, and willpower, all leading to easier, quicker, and more sustainable weight loss.
Is sleeping better really the easiest way to lose weight?
But wait, there's more. It's not just weight loss that comes from better sleep, but productivity, more success at work and home, and great health. ...finally!
I know, no one wants to sleep more. We have things to do, and all nighters are a badge of honor. But what if you could do more things, better and faster, once you had your sleep dialed in?

Here's just a small selection of testimonials from students we've had the pleasure of working with over the years
"I would like to recommend Academy Tutors to anyone who is looking for extra help. I started working with John and Kelly earlier this year and they have been so helpful. I had trouble with the Math section on the SAT and with the incredible dedication of both Kelly and John, I was able to increase my score by more than 250 points. All the tutors on Academy Tutors are amazing, qualified teachers that will answer any question you have no matter how silly you think it may be. My tutor was always cheerful and willing to explain the same problem time and time again until I understood it. She answered all my questions in a way that allowed me to really understand the math I had such a problem with. I am so grateful to Academy Tutors because they put in time and energy to help me facilitate my next step in my academic life. I would really recommend them for any coursework you may need help with. Thank you again, Kelly and John!"
"In just 2 months with Academy, I improved my ACT score from 28 to 33."
"My son, Austin, utilized Academy Tutors on two fronts; help with his AP classes but mainly in assisting him in approving his ACT test scores. John and the rest of the team developed a personalized plan for my son to meet his lofty goals. I am pleased to say, my son obtained his goal, thanks to the help of Academy Tutors, which was to boost his ACT test score placing him in the top 1%. This not only opened doors to more top tier universities but it also helps dramatically with additional scholarship funding. A great feature Academy Tutors offers is the instructors were able to teach my son via Skype and the use of electronic white boards on a schedule that was convenient to my son's schedule. This is great benefit for us, since we do not live nearby, in fact not even in the same state. Thank you Academy Tutors!"
"Feeling very good on my math! He helps me a lot. Thank you so much for my math tutor - not only is he a great person, but also is a very great math tutor!!"
" Knowing what types of questions to expect, as well as which answers to avoid, made testing less stressful"
" I'm ahead in Algebra thanks to Academy Tutors. That gives me more time to focus on my other classes"
" Swim practice goes until 8, but it's never too late to meet with my tutor online"
"Kelly tutored me in math for two years and was the best tutor I have ever had. Whatever topic I was having trouble with, she made it easy to understand with her clear and detailed explanations, always making sure I fully understood everything. I really enjoyed my lessons with Kelly as she always made me feel completely at ease and relaxed and I never felt like I was asking any "stupid questions". She made the lessons fun and the time always flew by. I couldn't recommend her more!"
"After 20 years of working, I decided to take the challenge to go back to school and earn my MBA. I overestimated my memory and depth of understanding and found that returning to subjects that involved math was more difficult than I expected. I needed a refresher. Kelly is very mindful and understanding, and she has the ability to evaluate her students and create tailored teaching techniques. She taught me, and several others in my class, business, finance, and applied math in a way that was well-structured and easy to understand and provided us all a deeper understanding of the topics. Problem sets became easier to read and work through. I was happier to continue my learning and I actually enjoyed the subjects I originally thought were too difficult for me. Kelly adapts to all levels, ages, and capabilities, which is a true gift."
"Working with Kelly allowed me to develop more confidence in my math skills and during tests. Her capability of adapting the way she explained things to me made it so much easier for me to understand things, such as by drawing sketches etc . Also it was really easy to connect with her and feel comfortable, it was a really great experience."
"Kelly is a fantastic tutor! She taught me Math for a couple of years and helped me pass this subject that I've always struggled in. Without her I would've found it impossible to pass IB Math. Kelly is extremely friendly and patient, which in my case helped; and always seems to find an easy way to explain things. "
"Kelly was very helpful to me. She helped me prepare my SAT II Math exams. Her teaching method is very effective - I was terrible at mathematics but she still helped me get a 700. She is extremely patient, kind, and clear in her explanations."
"Kelly not only helped me to get outstanding grades on my tests but she made sure I had a thorough understanding of everything I was doing. I found out how and why things worked in mathematics. I had an F when we started, but I ended my year with a steady B in Algebra 2, which is something I never could have even imagined. Kelly helped me with many things, from English to Science to Math, but more importantly she helped me improve my study habits. I am a lot more dedicated to my schoolwork now that I've had her as a tutor."
"Ms.Campbell has been a great tutor during our sessions between 2014-15. Very professional and kind, she helped me acquire my basic math knowledge for the IGCSE courses as well as developing my mathematical terms in English. Her ways of teaching are excellent for young teenagers and students who are not fluent with the English language."
"I returned to college to finish my undergraduate degree when I was in my forties. I had a few math classes to complete and knew that I may have a challenge with algebra since it had been so many years since my last algebra class. I overestimated my memory and found myself near tears after the first class. None of it was clicking for me. I called Kelly Campbell, in a panic, and asked if she would be available to tutor me that following weekend. Thank goodness she said yes! Kelly began by teaching me the foundational basics of algebra and then proceeded to one of my homework problems. She showed me a couple different approaches to solving the problem. I wasn't getting it. I began to get frustrated with myself which only compounded the situation. I'll never forget her putting her hand on my shoulder and encouraging me to relax, that it was going to be ok. She went on to say, very soothingly, that she had many tricks up her sleeve and she would simply continue to show me different approaches until one of them clicked for me. Just her attitude alone made me more comfortable and confident that I would know what I was doing before she left my house that day. And sure enough, shortly after that everything made sense and I felt certain I could finish the homework on my own. She changed my entire experience with college level algebra and statistics and I couldn't be more grateful."

Mercedes just released a concept like nothing that they have released before! Last year automaker Mercedes-Benz announced that they would be developing a pickup truck. While the automaker is best known for its luxury and high priced vehicles, not it's utility vehicles it has certainly sparked the interest of many auto enthusiasts. So far Mercedes have specified that the truck will be a V6 diesel equipt with full-time four-wheel drive, able to haul up to 2200 lbs. and tow up to 7000 lbs. According to Road and Track, "For a midsize truck, that's pretty impressive." Read more about the Mercedes Pickup Truck Concept and Road and Track (roadandtrack.com)

Gay Marriage, Common Sense & The Christian Response
The foremost reason "gay marriage" is wrong is not because it doesn't lead to human flourishing, or because it goes against thousands of years of human tradition, or because the reproductive parts don't fit, or because it's a slippery slope (although all those things are true). These arguments are all secondary, and if employed in isolation from Christ's Lordship, they become tacitly aligned with a humanistic perspective. Gay marriage is wrong, primarily because God created and defined marriage for us, and Jesus Christ has all authority on heaven and on earth.

While you're out camping in this last part of summer, there are a few old Ozark, er, "practices" to keep in mind, courtesy of the late Mr. Vance Randolph.
While you're out camping in this last part of summer, there are a few old Ozark, er, "practices" to keep in mind, courtesy of the late Mr. Vance Randolph.
These are all real in the fact that they were once believed by at least some folks, or they wouldn't have been recorded by Randolph for posterity. Just keep in mind I'm not actually advising most of these things. They're just for fun.
• To keep the ticks off you, wear a piece of dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) in your left shoe. Dog fennel has no power over chiggers, however.
• Cedar is poison to seed ticks. Tie some branches about your legs, or just place cedar branches around your camp to keep the little bloodsuckers away.
• If you really want to keep the ticks and chiggers away, try to camp where there is a lot of pennyroyal (Hedeoma pulegioides) growing around.
• The worst time for snakes is when the huckleberries are ripe, because snakes are blind then and more aggressive. Yeah, they may be also shedding their skin, but keep an eye on the huckleberries to know exactly when to be more careful.
• If bit by a snake, burn the snake immediately to counteract the poison.
• If you're swimming in the creek or river with water moccasins about, you don't have anything to worry about so long as you are submerged. Poisonous water snakes won't bite you if you're underwater.
• Don't camp near a walnut tree. They attract lightning.
• Don't ever burn the wood of a tree struck by lightning. You're just asking for trouble.
• When you hear a dead tree limb drop in the woods, when no wind is perceptible, rain is coming and you better pull up camp.
• When your campfire spits and sputters it is another sign that rain is on the way. It also means that two family members will quarrel within 24 hours, so if you're camping with your brother or cousin maybe you should strike camp anyway and just call it a trip.
• Don't ever use sassafras wood for your campfire or it could bring about the death of your mother. If she is already gone to Heaven it is OK. Peach tree wood is very bad luck to burn as well.
• When you're lighting your campfire, never look directly into the flames. If you do, you'll have trouble with the fire for the rest of the evening. It could also bring other bad luck as well.
• If you decide to do a little fishing, never step over a fishing pole lying on the bank. If you do, even by accident, you will catch no more fish that day.
• Maybe you prefer small game hunting. Squirrel stew over a campfire sounds pretty appetizing. Squirrel season is open all summer and into fall in Missouri. Just remember that there is a special understanding between squirrels and mosquitoes. When you're stalking a squirrel, mosquitoes are apt to swarm you and make you wave your hands about, thus warning off the squirrel. So be sure to spray on extra mosquito repellent. Or you could just rub a thick layer of lard over your face and hands.

ELGA Credit Union will be opening its 11th location, a new downtown Flint branch, in the former Perry Drug Store at 600 S. Saginaw St. It has been planned for the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 or early 2019. The building will have 24-hour ATM access. Currently, ELGA branches are located throughout Burton, Clio/Montrose, Davison, Fenton, Flint, Flushing, Goodrich, Lapeer and Saginaw. ELGA will also be opening a branch on Hill Road next to Applebee's in Grand Blanc Township in 2019 or 2020. The old Perry Drug Store building is being restored as much as possible to its original beauty and will feature art from the acclaimed "Folks of Flint" exhibition by photographer Dan White.
"From our humble beginnings in 1951 serving Consumers Energy employees and their families, we are excited that we have been able to grow to serve our entire community," CEO Karen Church says. "We now have 11 branches, online services and more than 70,000 members!"
ELGA Credit Union offers checking, savings, auto and home loans, Visa credit cards, investment services and a full range of commercial services for business members. They also offer financial education to members and others in the community. ELGA offers a robust student credit union program that teaches financial literacy to schools throughout the county, with more participating each year. In 2016, ELGA began a financial fitness program consisting of a 13-course series for adults. The courses, which have a wide range of topics, are taught throughout the community and all are welcome. An ELGA success coach can offer personalized guidance to individuals.
ELGA employees are extremely passionate about being involved in the communities they serve. Since 1951, they have assisted members in achieving financial goals and have lived by the credit union motto of "People Helping People." ELGA partners with many community organizations, including schools, chambers of commerce, service organizations and nonprofits.
ELGA has a long tradition of sponsoring fundraisers and other charity events. Just this past year, it was part of the ABC 12 Diaper Drive, the Ginormous Tent sale to benefit Mr. Gaines Garden, ABC 12 School Spirit, medical debt forgiveness, and Community of Angels. Toward the end of the year, it will sponsor the "Classy, Brassy Christmas & More" with NBC 25 and the Capitol Theatre and collaborate with the Michigan State Police on Stuff a Blue Goose to benefit the Salvation Army Toy Closet.
Those interested in joining ELGA Credit Union can apply in person or online at www.ELGACU.com. Individuals who live, work, worship, volunteer or attend school within Genesee, Saginaw, Shiawassee, Oakland and Livingston Counties are eligible to join the credit union.

Irma Lerman (portrayed by Yvette Freeman) is an inmate at Litchfield Penitentiary who is part of the Golden Girls gang. She comes into focus in season two during Red's greenhouse operation. Irma wants no trouble; all she cares about is gardening. However, this does not mean that she is disloyal to Red or the greenhouse. Irma brings Black Cindy's theft of the corn from the garden in season three known to Red.
Now that the manhole in the center of the garden has been cemented, it seems as though the greenhouse may remain Irma's–and Red's–sanctuary. Perhaps prison regulations will limit this freedom in season four, seeing as most of the inmates ran out of the prison yard and into the lake without any administrative resistance whatsoever.

Hey! Welcome back! Several concerned friends of mine have asked if I intend on continuing to put out new content here every single day. There's truly no way I could keep up with that flow. Honestly, I'm trying to get my story churned out as quickly as possible. My ultimate goal is to get to sharing content full of tips and tricks that I've learned through the years that will hopefully help those of you who deal with similar struggles. I am so excited to get to that point, so I'm working as hard as I can to get there quickly! So let's get to it!
So now I'm NPO, have my NG tube and I'm getting fluids. Then, they start talking about other new things – how's this girl going to get her nutrition because it's pretty clear that food isn't working out for her? Unfortunately, I was not invited to a lot of these talks. So I'm not really sure how they arrived at the conclusion to go straight to TPN, which is stands for Total Parenteral Nutrition, essentially meaning IV nutrition.
In order to administer TPN, you must first have central access. A normal IV is peripheral access, basically meaning it goes into the branches of your circulatory system. While central access, which could include ports, PICC lines, Hickman and Groshong lines, go directly into the large veins or trunk of your circulatory system.

I had foolishly decided to meet jetlag head on with an early morning stroll up Cerro San Cristobal, Santiago's equivalent of Arthur's Seat.
Due to my own incompetence coupled with Google Maps changing its mind on routes, this had been rather steeper and longer than expected meaning I'd walked 20km at fuck knows what gradient by the time I sat down to lunch. I stank pretty badly from the effort.
To say I was ready to eat was an understatement, so I was pleased to have chosen a place specialising in hearty fare called Liguria. It's apparently a very popular spot for an initiation into traditional Chilean cooking.
The place has a couple of sites across the city. I'd chosen the one that was closest staggering distance from the hill. It was a smart diner style place. It gave the impression of being as much a lively place for drinks as a place to eat.
I don't speak any Spanish beyond the odd phrase or two, so it was helpful to find a waiter who was super friendly and had enough English so that we understood each other very well.
The menu looked very much like pub grub fare to me and without the need to resort to translation services I settled upon the ossobuco stew. There was a discussion about whether this needed a side dish which concluded no to rice but yes to salad.
The dish was with me in double quick time following hot on the heels of bread and some seasoned tomatoes.
It looked very much like a hearty Irish stew or a plate of mince and tatties. Given my general state of mega tiredness, this was like manna from heaven.
The meat – on-the-bone veal – was fall-apart tender and served in a flavour-packed gravy. The accompanying carrots, peas and potatoes were soft and comforting. The side salad of chunky tomato and green bean brought required freshness. It was all a very enjoyable eat.
I accompanied this with a jarrito of excellent carmenere as seemed appropriate.
So overall, Liguria was a splendid place to start my Chilean dining adventures. It was just the type of place I needed when I was feeling so stinky, hungry and drained. It took a day or two more for me to be back to fighting fitness but the food at Liguria played a hugely helpful part in that.

This multidisciplinary book is the result of a collective work synthesizing presentations made by various specialists during the CNRS «BIODEMAT» school, which took place in October 2014 in La Rochelle (France). It is designed for readers of a range of scienti?c specialties (chemistry, biology, physics, etc.) and examines various industrial problems (e.g., water, sewerage and maintaining building materials). Metallic, cementitious, polymeric and composite materials age depending on their service and operational environments. In such cases, the presence of microorganisms can lead to biodeterioration. However, microorganisms can also help protect structures, provided their immense possibilities are mastered and put to good use. This book is divided into ?ve themes related to biocolonization, material biodeterioration, and potential improvements to such materials resulting in better performance levels with respect to biodeterioration: • physical chemistry of surfaces; • bio?lm implication in biodeterioration; • biocorrosion of metallic materials; • biodeterioration of non-metallic materials; • design and modi?cation of materials. The afiliations of the authors of the various chapters illustrate the synergy between academic research and its transfer to industry. This demonstrates the essential interaction between the various actors in this complex ?eld: analysing, understanding, and responding to the scientic issues related to biodeterioration.

HoneyBaked Foods Recalls 47K Pounds of Ham, Turkey
Posted November 25, 2006 4:19 p.m. EST
Listeria is a microorganism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Healthy adults can also experience symptoms such as fever, severe headaches, nausea and diarrhea.
The recalled products include six to 11-pound packages of "sliced and glazed fully cooked half ham" and 12 to 16-pound packages of whole ham. HoneyBaked also recalled 3-pound packages of "sliced and glazed cooked boneless turkey breast" as well as the smoked version of the turkey.
The glazed ham and turkey was produced between Sept. 5 and Nov. 13, and was sold through the company's catalog, on the Internet and at HoneyBaked stores and kiosks in the Toledo, Ohio, region. The company has contacted catalog customers who purchased these products.
For more information about the recall, company officials asked customers to call 1-800-461-3998 or 1-866-492-4267.

- STOCK: In Stock
- FORMAT: Compact Disc
1. Road to Blackrock2. Enlightened3. HippyFlipping4. Deep in your mind5. The Trip6. PsySax7. Welcome to Blackrock8. LSD9. Desert Raves
The debut album release from Reza Samadi and Psy-Rave records is here!Packed with upbeat full on psychedelic sounds fused with the bouncy edge of a Rave twist. This is a fresh sounding album like no other!Currently based in Southern England Reza has been involved with and signed to many labels in all different types of dance music over the last 10 years. Although discovering the twisted beats of Psy-Trance many moons ago on a crazy trip to Camden in London that resulted in his first Psy-Trance rave in an abandoned mental asylum he never felt the time was right to take it on.After living through the insane experience that is the one and only Burningman festival in America he rediscovered his passion for the galloping baselines and dark yet bouncy electronic sounds that is the psychedelic madness we call trance. After returning home he found himself sat in the studio writing what would become his first Psy based album.Purposely trying to add a touch of different dance music he heard from burningman yet keeping it Psy based and not wanting to forget what set him back on this path he aptly named the album "Road to Black Rock" (Black rock desert is were Burningman is held).With his knowledge of 10 years of producing many different genres of music he has been able to put his all his experience into this album which been described by critics as successfully bridging the gap between Psy-Trance and other dance styles thus perfect for the Psy-Rave records sound. There is definitely something in this album for everyone!

There's been a lot of talk about the edible cutlery designed by the company Bakey in India. These disposable utensils are made out of wheat, rice, and millet. Some people have been getting excited about this, proclaiming, "It will reduce our waste!"
I wanted to check in with everyone about this because it's not so simple. Plastic cutlery may not be recyclable in most areas, and it's not compostable, but it also doesn't do a whole lot sitting in a landfill. It will be there when we dig it up and we can melt the plastic and reuse it.
In contrast, the biggest thing to understand about compostable material is that it's only worthwhile if it's composted. Organic material in a landfill doesn't convert into compost; instead, it releases methane gas and adds to global climate change.
Edible cutlery works if it's a) eaten, or b) composted.
I don't know enough about the food/waste habits throughout India, but I can speak to those of the U.S. We landfill a lot more than we compost. Most street-side waste collection bins do not include compostable bins, only trash and recycling. Lots and lots of organic material (including things like newspapers) end up in landfills instead of being converted into glorious soil.
(P.S. We only recycle about 30% of what actually is recyclable.)
I often see well-intentioned food carts and food trucks, conscious markets, and thoughtful restaurants with their doggy bags- who hand out compostable plates and to-go containers. In a way, this is great because it's not plastic and it's especially not Styrofoam! Reducing our plastic consumption saves natural resources and helps steer people away from carcinogenic chemicals and dyes. Yet if people take all this compostable material away with them and don't throw it into a composting bin or compost pile, then it will end up in the landfill.
Bakey boasts that their utensils will decompose in three days. This only means out in a compost pile, soaked in rain, aerated by wind, and munched on by microbes. The cutlery in a landfill will end up like other organic material, taking anywhere from three months to 75 years to break down into microscopic, toxic bits.
Composting is an enormous benefit to the natural cycles of soil and this planet. I advocate composting over recycling and composting any day of the week, but we have to do it correctly.
If you're a restaurant, food cart, or other business that serves items in compostable containers, please make sure you have a place to collect those containers and then compost them. If people bring to-go items with them and don't compost them, then we're actually causing harm.
Another great option? Bring your own fork, knife, and spoon from home. I have some made out of bamboo. I keep them in my backpack at all times, so I rarely have to use plastic utensils. Remember: reducing waste overall is best.

Meet Twitter's Newest Investor: Insight Venture Partners
The Internet is aflutter about Twitter's latest round of fund-raising that just netted the microblogging site $100 million. The deal values Twitter, which generates almost no revenue, at $1 billion, sparking a debate about whether the company will become the Internet's next Google, or the next Pets.com.
Deal Journal spoke with Jeff Horing, co-founder of Insight Venture Partners, a New York private-equity firm that was the lead investor in this, Twitter's third and largest fund-raising round.
Two of Insight's portfolio companies, Solar Winds and Medidata, have gone public in 2009, a rare feat amid one of the slowest IPO markets in recent memory. A third Insight portfolio company, Newegg Inc., an internet electronic retailer, just today said it is planning an IPO for this year.
The other new investors in Twitter include mutual fund giant, T. Rowe Price and Morgan Stanley's asset management unit.
Deal Journal: How do you reach a $1 billion valuation for Twitter?
Jeff Horing: When we modeled it, we were looking at revenue somewhere between Google and Facebook. Google monetizes at $30 a user and Facebook is about $2 a user. If you look at Twitter's user community and make some fairly conservative assumptions about revenue, we thought you could make a healthy exit at a multiple of a $1 billion.
DJ: When would you expect a Twitter IPO to occur?
Horing: We didn't invest with a particular time frame in mind. We hope to help build the company. It could be several years or it could be sooner.
DJ: What's Twitter's plan to start generating a profit?

On Nov. 8, voters in Los Angeles will be asked to vote on seven measures that look innocent but take money right out of your pocket. It's like being governed by the original Broadway cast of "Oliver."
The show featured a gang of singing pickpockets, if you've never seen it.
L.A. County Measure A is a hike in property taxes to replace the funding from two expiring temporary taxes for parks. Because a temporary tax is a mythical creature, Measure A would levy a property tax of 1.5 cents per square foot of every building every year. The tax would hit businesses and apartment building owners especially hard, leading to higher prices and higher rents, and it's permanent.
Measure M is a permanent one-half percent sales tax increase for what the county calls a "traffic improvement plan." It would be the fourth one-half percent sales tax increase since 1980 for transportation. The third one, Measure R, was temporary, but Measure M would make it permanent.
Metro has a detailed plan on its website that shows all the projects Measure M will fund, but many of them count on the highly uncertain availability of billions of dollars in state or federal money. Some sound like outright fantasy. Valley voters are promised a tunnel through the Sepulveda Pass, someday. It will do wonders to speed up the commute from Shangri-La to Brigadoon.
Now the bad news about Measure M: there are no guarantees that any of the promised projects will happen. Anything can be changed with a two-thirds vote of the Metro board of directors. And in the meantime, proposed mega-developments of housing or retail that are within one-half mile of a "planned" major transit stop qualify for streamlined approvals with no studies of the projects' impact on traffic speed or parking, even if the nearby transit is only a watercolor illustration.
The Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees would like voters to authorize another $3.3 billion of borrowed money for more buildings, following the $6 billion the district blew through in the last 15 or so years. The money would be repaid, plus interest, by adding another charge to property tax bills for decades. Although Measure CC has "Affordable Education" and "Job Training" in its name, this is bond money that legally can only be used for land and buildings. It can't be spent on education, or scholarships, or programs. Incidentally, in 2011, the State Controller reported on massive waste, fraud and mismanagement in the LACCD's bond program. They promise this time they'll really fix the bathrooms.
The City of Los Angeles is asking voters to approve Measure HHH, authorizing $1.2 billion of borrowed money to build housing for the homeless. Like the college bond, the money can only be used for land and buildings. Not one penny can legally be spent for services like mental health treatment, addiction counseling, shelters, social workers, law enforcement, or help for victims of domestic violence. The city can buy land, even forcing the sale with eminent domain, and pay developers to build high-density housing. Meanwhile, property tax bills will have an extra charge for decades to pay back the $1.2 billion plus interest.
Three more city measures could be just as costly.
Measure JJJ would require developers building some private residential developments to pay construction workers the "prevailing wage," a significantly higher hourly rate based on union contracts for public projects. It would also require developers to designate some units in these projects as "affordable housing" at below-market rates. It's a formula for higher rents: Raising the cost of building housing and making some units more expensive so others can be subsidized.
Measure SSS would increase the cost of public employee pensions, already chewing up about 20 percent of the city's general fund, by enrolling new airport police officers into the more costly Fire and Police Pensions System.
Measure RRR, a charter amendment supposedly reforming the L.A. Department of Water and Power, actually does nothing to reform the DWP. But it makes it politically easier for the City Council and the mayor to raise water and power rates, hiding the increases in a four-year "strategic plan" that would be approved in advance so rate hikes would take effect later, without another vote. Meanwhile, 8 percent of the gross revenue from electricity sales is transferred to the city treasury every year to cover general expenses.
Our elected officials are addicted to spending. They just can't say no.
Fortunately, you can.

I traveled to Northern Germany looking for my long lost relatives, and while I found our old house, my kin folks were out. I sat and drew this picture while I waited on 1) them or 2) the rain to stop. The rain stopped first, so I'll come back later in the afternoon to see if anyone is home.
As a side note: wanted to give a shout out to Ellessi in Amsterdam who I ran into drawing pictures in Dam Square yesterday. Hi Ellessi!

Lando Norris will make his Formula 1 debut with McLaren in 2019 after being announced as Stoffel Vandoorne's replacement.
Following the confirmation that the Belgium driver would leave the Woking-based team at the end of 2018, Norris will step up from his test and reserve role from next season on a multi-year deal. Norris will partner the already-announced Carlos Sainz Jr.
Italian GP - Driver Ratings
Norris, who becomes the second British driver on the F1 grid for 2019 alongside Lewis Hamilton, has hailed the deal 'a dream come true'.
"To be announced as a race driver for McLaren is a dream come true," Norris said. "Although I've been part of the team for a while now, this is a special moment, one I could only hope would become reality.
"I'd like to thank the whole team for this amazing opportunity and for believing in me. I'm also extremely grateful for the commitment McLaren has already shown in my development, allowing me to build my experience in a Formula 1 car in both testing and on Fridays during the past two race weekends.
"For the remainder of 2018, my focus remains firmly on the Formula 2 championship. My objective is to win the title before joining McLaren full-time, which will be tough, but I will fight as hard as I can for the remaining four races.
"I'll also be working closely with McLaren at every opportunity to learn as much as possible from the drivers, engineers and mechanics to give myself the best preparation ahead of next year."
Norris joined the McLaren ranks at the start of 2017 as test and simulator driver having caught the attention of multiple F1 teams with his rapid rise in the junior championships winning the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup, Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and the Toyota Racing Series Championship all in 2016.
The 18-year-old followed up his impressive 2016 by winning the FIA European Formula 3 championship in his rookie campaign last year and is currently second in the Formula 2 drivers' standings in his maiden season in the F1 feeder series.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown says the huge potential Norris holds has seen him secure his F1 rookie campaign and is delighted with the team's all-new driver line-up.
"We believe Lando is an exciting talent, full of potential, who we've very deliberately kept within the McLaren fold for exactly that reason," Brown said.
"We already know he's fast, he learns quickly, and has a mature head on his young shoulders. We see much potential for our future together. The investment we have made in his budding career with simulator development and seat-time in the car has been well-deserved, as he has continued to prove his abilities both behind the wheel and in his work with the engineering team.
"Lando is an integral part of our plan for rebuilding our Formula 1 operation for the future, and he has already developed a strong relationship with the team.
"In Lando and Carlos we have an impressive duo who, despite their relative youth, hold valuable experience in Formula 1 and with McLaren, and represent the next generation of McLaren drivers to lead the team forward.
"While our short-term focus is fixed on securing the best possible result for the remainder of the 2018 season, we're also massively motivated by the opportunities that lie ahead."
