When Luqman Edu walked into the office at FilmoRealty and announced that he would be running the real estate company that his mother founded 20 years earlier, he was determined to build on the company's reputation for innovation in technology and real estate services. "When my mother started the business, residential properties had a hole in the wall where you were supposed to put your AC unit," says Luqman Edu, Chief Visionary Officer and Managing Director at FilmoRealty. "She built the company by fitting out blocks of apartments with furniture for expats in major international companies, along with gyms, saunas, and chefs to cook Western food. She is considered the first to bring an interactive property management website to Nigeria with a complaints page. I wanted to pay homage to her vision. Today, we offer proptech (property technology) solutions based on cloud technology. Our VAMP control center uses real-time data to provide facilities intelligence and predictive analytics. It is the engine room that supports our products such as Resido, our B2C app for homeowners that want our home management services."
As FilmoRealty evolves in the context of a traditional Nigerian real estate environment, Edu and his team of millennials have taken advantage of the brand's equity, and, thinking like a startup, have quadrupled the business in just five years. Edu credits this growth to the team, the company's proprietary operations software VAMP, and to the fact that FilmoRealty replaced its on-premises server and instances of Microsoft Office with Microsoft 365, a continually updated subscription to the latest Office apps and services. "Our adoption of Microsoft 365 was a necessary step in our transition to a leading-edge proptech company in the Nigerian real estate industry," says Edu.

BBH: Dollar, Treasury Yields Back Off; Data Undershooting Expectations
The U.S. dollar has given up some of its recent gains and Treasury yields have fallen back, with some apparent cooling of the U.S. economy, although expectations remain for another Federal Reserve rate hike in September, says Brown Brothers Harriman. "The forces that had pushed the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield to 3% and the dollar above JPY113 at the start of the month, and the euro to $1.13 a couple of weeks ago, have dissipated," BBH says. "The 10-year yield is near 2.80%. The dollar was near two-month lows against the yen a week ago, and the euro was back toward the middle of its previous $1.15-1.18 trading range." U.S. economic data has been undershooting expectations lately, BBH says. The market will monitor trade, income and personal spending, and revised gross-domestic-product data this week. "The trade deficit narrowed in Q2 but the effort to beat the sanctions appears to have faded," BBH says. "The risk is that the combination of growth differentials and the dollar's recovery spurs deterioration in Q3. Consumption rose at a 4% clip in Q2, according to the preliminary GDP estimate. It is unsustainable. A slowdown should be evident in the monthly personal consumption data….Growth seems to be moderating toward a more sustainable pace, still juiced by fiscal stimulus and deregulation." Still, BBH adds, neither U.S. President Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve policy nor Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Friday speech has altered investors' view that a September rate hike is nearly a "foregone conclusion," with 90%-plus odds.

MKS: $1,200 Key Technical Level For Gold Prices
Monday August 227, 2018 08:31
The $1,200-an-ounce level is a key chart point for gold, says MKS (Switzerland) S.A. The metal has traded on both sides of this in the last week and was up 20 cents for the day to $1,205.50 an ounce shortly before 8 a.m. EDT. "The metal will look to hold the $1,200 figure to entice interest for a leg higher, while support underneath the psychological level will be evident toward $1,185-$1,190," MKS says. One positive for gold is the recent reduction in global exchange-traded-fund selling, with outflows of only 10,000 ounces recorded on Friday, MKS adds.

John Gross: Last Week's Bounce In Metals Due To Softer Dollar, Technicals
Monday August 227, 2018 08:31
A number of precious and base metals likely rose last week due to a combination of a softer U.S. dollar and technical considerations, with metals viewed as "oversold," says John Gross, president of the management consulting firm J.E. Gross & Co. He notes that silver posted its first weekly gain following 10 consecutive weekly losses, gold had its first weekly advance after six weekly losses, and copper has scored just two weekly gains over the past 11 weeks. Most will say the bounces were due to a weaker dollar, Gross says. "But there is another element, a bit more esoteric, that also contributed to metal prices moving up," he explains. "Over the past several weeks, or in some cases, months, metal prices fell sharply, putting them deep into 'oversold territory' on a technical basis. Whether one measures oversold by the Relative Strength Index, by Stochastics, or just by visual observation, a correction could be expected, and it finally came. So, was it the dollar influence that moved the markets, or was it due to technical considerations? We suspect it was a bit of both, but we will learn more in the coming weeks."

You are here
It has been a pleasure being an EGLUG administrator for the past time. However,
I feel that I'm not qualified as an admin - at least for some people here - and
that I don't really have much time.
I was the one who posted that the previous team wasn't really doing their job.
I thought that having a new team will ease things a bit, I ran for the elections
for mainly 2 reasons:
1) I believe that I was among the active half of the team and that I can still give.
2) I thought about giving a hand to the new admins.
It looks like I'm being personally attacked - or that's what I think - and people
are judging me for all the problems for the last 9 days.
When people start to saying that they did X and Y instead of the current team and
then I'm sorry, That's not a place for me.
A lot of people don't think that I can say that I'm mistaken when I'm really, This
is not true and I do have the ability to do it as long as the other parts admit
their mistake, But getting accused for the bad performance of the new team is something
I can't accept.
I also can't accept when I'm volunteering for something and people start to judge me
about stupid things.
I might also be mistaken this time but I don't care anymore.
I declare my stepping back from the current admin team. Please admins, Take the required
steps for the hand over. I'm also welling to stay until you find a replacement for me
per the charter rules.
Sorry, I don't have enough time for EGLUG yet people expect more from me and...
Best Regards,
although I am not an EGLUG member, but I guess you were a good team, right?
Wish you all the best.

Heading Inland But Trying to Keep Shuckin' Shack Vibe
Fresh oysters are the main event at Shuckin' Shack.
Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar, which started as a 900-square-foot shack in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, in 2007, is heading inland for growth.
"We realized that we have a lot of mom-and-pop competition on the coast," says Matt Piccinin, co-founder, but more space in land-locked locales. "There really isn't a full-blown oyster bar concept that is a franchise model that we've come across yet, nothing on the national stage.
"What we realized is our inland stores actually do just as well as our coastal stores, and it's funny to see the ebb and flow of the two different businesses," he said, with coastal stores going crazy starting about now, spring break time, through the summer, and vice versa with inland stores.
The Raleigh and Charlotte areas were the first two inland markets to be tested, with many customers familiar with Shuckin' Shack from beach vacations. "We knew that we'd be able to make it in those locations on the brand name alone,"he said. The Greenville, South Carolina, store, two hours west of Charlotte, took more work to spread the word.
Shuckin' Shack began franchising in 2014 and has 15 stores open. Average unit volumes are $1.1 million with a basic footprint ranging from 2,200 to 3,000 square feet.
Getting oysters to inland customers wasn't a problem, he said. "Supply chain is a lot easier than we originally thought," he said, especially with the move toward aquaculture, oyster farms and regulations around oyster sustainability.
Before deciding to open inland stores, Piccinin conducted a test by calling his supplier and asking if they could get oysters to Fargo, North Dakota, where one of his franchisee prospects lived. U.S. Foods said no problem. If Fargo was a go, he figured, so would be most other places.
One thing Piccinin doesn't want to end is the laid-back, beachy vibe of the brand, and they've written what they call a lifestyle guide for franchisees. "It's really important to us that franchisees share that lifestyle. We're very relaxed, very low-key when it comes to how we act," he said. "I go to work every day with shorts, a t-shirts and flip-flop. That's the way we live, about six blocks form the original store. We stay as close to the original brand as possible because that's what we were built on."

The Luger is one of the most recognizable semi-auto pistols in the world, originally designed by Georg Luger while at Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in approximately 1899. Switzerland was the first nation to adopt the Luger as a military sidearm, chambered in 7.65mm, under the models 1900, 1900/06 and 1906/29.
The Luger remained in production through the 1940s, with numerous variations in service during WWI and WWII, and has been used as a military sidearm by several nations around the world. The chamber is marked with a crisp Cross within a Sunburst. The toggle bears DWM's iconic scrolled logo as well as dished style knobs and a side lock indicative of it's early production type. The frame has a long type grip safety, narrow trigger, wide trigger guard and bears no stock lug. The front sight is a sawtooth style affixed by dovetail to the barrel. The grips are a clean checkered walnut.

COPENHAGEN: The last time the shares in Pandora A/S fell as much as they did on Tuesday, the jewellery maker fired its chief executive officer. So it's no surprise that question marks are now growing next to the name of the current CEO, Anders Colding Friis.
Against the backdrop of a slowdown in the company's global expansion, the shares closed 24% lower in Copenhagen after Colding Friis lowered a financial target that he had described as "realistic" as recently as January. Investors had already been hammered in May, when the company's first-quarter earnings failed to live up to expectations.
Pandora's board declined to comment on the CEO's position and the company gave few details on what caused the profit warning. Colding Friis, 54, will speak to investors, analysts and the press on Thursday, at the second-quarter earnings presentation, spokesman Johan Melchior said by phone.
After cutting the revenue and profit outlook and then announcing almost 400 jobs cuts in a subsequent release, the CEO said in a statement that Pandora is "on the right long-term direction."
The warning will "put the continuity of the management team and the board in question," said Zuzanna Pusz, an analyst at Berenberg, while RBC analyst Piral Dadhania said that the management's "ability to deliver is now under close scrutiny." Soren Lontoft Hansen, an analyst at Sydbank, said that "trust in the communication from management has suffered yet another blow."
Investors were more muted, though many delivered the ultimate verdict by selling their shares. Denmark's biggest pension fund, which held 2.74 million Pandora shares at the end of 2017, is "very disappointed" with the jewellery maker, Claus Wiinblad, head of equities at ATP, said by phone.
He declined to say if he still trusts Colding Friis to lead the company. "We have an ongoing dialogue with the management. We're not commenting on personnel matters."
At least three analysts cut their recommendations as the share plunge wiped more than US$1 billion off Pandora's market value. Tuesday's drop was the biggest since Aug. 2, 2011. Back on that day, Pandora plunged 65% after a surprise profit warning that was accompanied by the firing of CEO Mikkel Vendelin Olesen.
Pandora's time as a listed company has been a roller-coaster ride. The 2011 drop came just 10 months after the firm had successfully listed on the stock exchange. After the 2011 decline, Pandora shares rose through 2016, jumping almost 20-fold as it repositioned itself in the so-called affordable luxury segment.
Colding Friis joined Pandora in March 2015, enjoying the tail-end of the golden period before retail weakness in the US, hedge funds building short positions and problems with a grey market in China started to dominate the agenda and depress the stock. He was previously CEO of Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
Pandora has let a number of key managers go recently. Chief Financial Officer Peter Vekslund was fired earlier this year and at least two senior people at the communications department have been replaced over the last 12 months.
The trust in the current management "is gone, completely gone," Per Hansen, an investment economist at Nordnet, said in a note. There's pressure to replace Colding Friis, "who has provided too many negative surprises and at the same time maintained a distant facade, which you're only allowed to have if you have the qualities of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
Whether Colding Friis has a future at Pandora or not, he did secure another job this week. Danish high-end stereo maker Bang & Olufsen A/S on Tuesday said it will propose electing him to its board, citing his "experience and knowledge within sales, marketing, retail, supply chain and online sales."

The High Court in New Delhi is so behind in its work that it could take up to 466 years to clear the enormous backlog, the court's chief justice said in a damning report that illustrates the decrepitude of India's judicial system.It's not that the court is inefficient:
The Delhi High Court races through each case in an average of four minutes and 55 seconds but still has tens of thousands of cases pending, including upward of 600 that are more than 20 years old, according to the report.
But that the legal process is inefficient (i.e. there are more cases than there should be):
Critics say other problems include the strict formalities that slow down every step of the legal process and are common across India's vast bureaucracy.
and there are not enough judges:
But ... a 466-year backlog?
India - a country of 1.1 billion people - has approximately 11 judges for every million people compared with roughly 110 per million in the United States.

Pages with titles such as newyorkdining.com and seattleinsurance.com include business and service listings complete with maps, user-generated ratings and expert reviews--content aggregated by Marchex's Open List publishing technology. In addition to crossing some 20,000 Yellow Pages categories, the launch also includes ZIP code Web sites like 90210.com, covering every state in the U.S.
Though the sites include sidebar space for sponsored text and display ads, the local information is "organic and constantly updated," said Matthew Berk, lead search architect, Marchex. "Open List content doesn't come from advertisers, and it can change based on how users configure it." The company is also launching a new rating system on the sites called, "I Like It," that allows users to rate and sort business listings with one click.
According to local search analysts, the difference between Marchex's local content network and traditional "direct navigation sites" is the quality and depth of available information. Users can drill down local searches based on relevant criteria such as price or cuisine for restaurants, and vehicle type or neighborhood for auto repair.
"With so much deep content, their network has both user retention and SEO benefits," said Mike Boland, senior analyst, The Kelsey Group. "Users come back because they find good information and search engines have more data to crawl."
"There's an industry-wide realization that a vast majority of consumer transactions are beginning with online research and ending with off-line purchases," Boland added, so advertisers are shifting toward finding local channels that will lead those off-line conversions.
While research firms like The Kelsey Group have predicted the local search market to boom to $2.6 billion in four years, no clear local search leader has emerged. The search giants have tweaked their algorithms to include more local search listings, but can't afford to sacrifice the scope of their crawls for the level of detail that vertical and local search provide.
Internet Yellow Pages providers and niche-specific local listings may lead particular categories, but analysts say that overall, the market fragmentation is a boon to consumers and advertisers alike. "The competition encourages innovation from companies like Marchex," said Boland. "New features get rolled out, content providers experiment with functionality, and it all serves to benefit the user experience and the ad sales model as a whole."

The Details for this job are shown below, if you would like more details or have any questions please use the contact details provided.
Russian Radials Limited is a CAA Approved organisation maintaining and repairing Soviet-era piston aircraft and their engines. Founded in 2005 the company is now acknowledged as the pre-eminent facility for the maintenance, overhaul and repair of these engine types. The company is based near Stratford-on-Avon, adjacent to its own runway, and is now expanding in order to accommodate a unique aircraft restoration project. The project is to restore one of several complete airframes and engines to full flight status and is estimated to take 5 years. Once completed the aircraft will be the sole airworthy example. We are seeking to recruit a part time SOLIDWORKS Design Engineer to join as a key member of the project team. The position will ideally suit a recently retired Aerospace CAD Design Engineer who has experience of and understands the compliance and regulatory requirements of the industry.We have a comprehensive technical library for the type but we do not possess the complete set of original blueprints, so a large part of the CAD work required will involve reverse engineering. Whilst some drawings will be straightforward replication others will require some design work and so knowledge of aerospace materials and engineering methods is highly desirable. The successful candidate will also need to be self-motivated and prepared and able to manage the CAD function of the Company within a regulated environment. You will not be a desk-bound manager, you will be an experienced, hands-on and practical individual with a passion for attention to detail and professionalism. Space inside and access to a 1940s warplane is limited and there will be occasions when you will need to be able to get into and work inside tight spaces.The hours will be flexible and we anticipate initially 1-2 days per week on a regular basis. This may change once we start the project later this year, so flexibility will be desirable.
Interest in historic aviation, especially warbird (but vintage/classic cars would be close) Knowledge of aerospace materials and manufacturing techniques (ideally warbird)High Level of Proficiency in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD modelling Ability to reverse engineer parts from OE componentsGood level of practical hands-on design skillsFull UK Driving License

My blog entry for the Christmas Sepia Saturday is causing my normally ordered mind some internal grief ... it's not Saturday, my posting is not sepia, it's not festive and although it's not a postcard I'm putting it on my vintage postcard blog. The reason for breaking all 4 unwritten rules is that I was inspired by the word 'Empire' in Alan's post. I can't have looked through my childhood stamp collection for years, but the vivid memory I had of this stamp was overwhelming. It took a while to find it but I had at least remembered it came from Canada, which narrowed it down a bit.
Actually, since starting this write-up I realised that I have in fact, albeit accidentally, not broken one of the rules. Something I had never noticed before until I scanned the stamp was that it infact is a Christmas stamp, from 1898. The 'empire' link was obviously more memorable to me with the wording 'We Hold A Vaster Empire Than Has Been'. This is not meant to be a jingoistic post, but more a reflection on our history, and the importance placed on 'empire' by many nations at the time. Perhaps I should do a follow-up in the New Year called 'The Empire Strikes Back', to reflect the decline of the Empire and the quest for independence from it.

It is simply very difficult to be real. Since we spend or lives mostly dealing with people in small increments of time, we can usually muster up the energy to be pleasant and accommodating for that brief period. The challenge in the passage is to make that pleasant front—the real you. In order to make that a reality, Paul lays out some specific steps. Be holy, be devoted and be humble.
The first thing we must do to be sincere is to live with an eternal perspective. Simply put, we live a holy life—we love the things that honor God and hate the things that dishonor him. We are different. We do not hate people—but we do not look with a longing eye at behaviors that dishonor God.
The second thing is to be devoted to others. As much as we are able we meet people where they are and really focus on being a friend. That means when they are doing great, we set aside envy and celebrate their success—sincerely. When they are defeated, we support and encourage them without judgement. When sick we comfort and heal. When they are in need of an ear we listen and do not preach. Meeting folks where they are and being the friend they need is a great part of being real.
Finally, we are humble. We look at the world with our own needs and desires kept separate. Humility is not thinking of yourself as a lesser person, it is focusing upon others and allowing God to be in charge of meeting your needs. You still bring your needs to the father and ask for the desires of your heart—BUT, as it relates to others, you simply set your needs aside and focus on them and on God. Living a sincere life is tough. It stretches you beyond human endurance. But as you train to be sincere—you find your life is simpler and more rewarding—and you don't have to muster up the energy to be pleasant—God does that for you!
God Bless You
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited

Richard Bull
Richard Bull (1777 - 1809)Bull was admitted to the Dublin Society's School in 1769, and studied there under Ennis. In 1777 he exhibited "Portraits in Hair" at the Society of Artists in William Street, and in 1780 "Miniatures in colour and hair." In 1786 he was "at Mr. Edward Rice's, 13 Capel Street," where, as we learn from an advertisement, he did "likenesses in miniature highly finished, at two guineas." He removed to 91 Grafton Street, in 1790, and in the following year was at 43 College Green. Soon afterwards, not finding sufficient patronage in Dublin, he went to London and began to exhibit in the Royal Academy in 1794, when he contributed "a Portrait of Kemble" and six anonymous portraits. He was then living in Shepherd Street, Oxford Street, but next year moved to 101 Pall Mall, where he remained until 1806. Many of his sitters in London were Irish.

'A Tar-studded Event' - Leading dry cleaner
'Tux Among the Trucks' - Leading lorry driver from Brussels
Stephen Fry, Cheryl Cole, Sharon Osbourne, Julia Roberts and Simon Cowell were among scores of glittering A-list celebrities who were absent on the red carpet at last night's prestigious Oscar's Oscars award ceremony at the luxurious and world-renowned Scratchwood Service Area. In fact the red carpet was also absent, having been repossessed on Wednesday morning by my Aunt Elsie and replaced in her hallway. This minor glitch did nothing to detract from the warmth and sincerity of the moving ceremony. It had to be a moving ceremony because the security guys claimed we were causing an obstruction, but I've worked around this problem for next year. I'll hold the ceremony on the M25 in the rush hour, which will give us much more time to socialise without fear of being moved on.
Press Release
I'm calling this a Press Release because nobody has volunteered to report on the event (or to accept the awards, for that matter) so I'm having to press the lot on whoever I can and not release my vice-like grasp until they agree to my reasonable demands.
I'm frequently asked to explain the meaning of the formula: OO=^v. Frequently... I just thought you might like to know that.
I also sense other unasked questions: 1) Why Oscar's Oscars? and, 2) Who the hell do you think you are? Well, to tackle those tacit questions in order: 1) Oscar is my name, so calling them Arthur's Oscars would be disingenuous; 2) I think I'm Oscar, but if you know otherwise, please do inform me. Thank you.
For the record... or should that be: For the CD/MP3, nowadays? Well, whatever, like so many things I've done in my life, Oscar's Oscars began as a spontaneous piece of silliness. It would have remained a piece of Friday silliness, in isolation, had it not been for a couple of acquaintances finding it amusing... If you've got children you'll have heard the plea many times, especially in connection with boys: 'No. Please don't laugh, it will only encourage him.' Yea, well. Right. Who says men never grow up? Right again. So here we are.
Nothing more than me - Oscar - giving people I like and/or admire a hi-five (there you are), and sometimes... just sometimes, doing a leeetle bit of creeping. This is the inaugural annual ceremony, but Oscar's Oscars are also presented on an ad hoc basis, and when I feel like it, too.
Anyway, the full list of 2010's annual awards will be published, and no doubt ignored, on Friday 5th March 2010.
Please do turn out the lights when you leave, after paying for all these expensive awards I really can't afford enormous lekky bills.
Bye for now.

The controversial one-child policy which China slapped on its citizens is now abolished.
According to the state-owned Xinhua news agency, Beijing has finally decided to bag down and allow couples to have two children.
The punitive policy introduced in the year 1979 was meant to curb runaway population growth rate.
Since its introduction, the controversial one-child policy is believed to have blocked the births of about 400 million. However, pressure to alter this policy arose due to Chinese aging populace.
The policy was so gruel that any couple who violated it was subjected to various dehumanizing punishments including fines, termination of employment as well as forced abortions
After some time, some Chinese provinces decided to relax the noose as sociologist and demographers raised the alarm over decreasing worker population and spiking social costs.

Today, about 30% of the entire Chinese population is comprised of people aged 50 and above. The Central Committee of the Communist Party said the move was to balance the development across the 1.36 billion Chinese.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
How is a person to walk without his shoes? May he go barefoot?
There is one criticism that I have when visiting a Vedic centre, temple, or even a yoga studio. While some of these destinations do not subscribe to the mayavad or 'all is one' philosophy, when it comes to precious shoes, you might experience a free for all culture. It's a little bit odd, but arrangements for the deities in a temple is totally together, or orderliness in a yoga session, but if you're looking for a good first impression at the shoe shelf entrance area, then look elsewhere.
It was embarrassing for me when I discovered that Ravindra, the leader of the community, spent a good portion of his morning trying to track down my footwear. He is my senior of nine years, he is my big bro, and to have him do this for me, well, it was a moment of humility that struck me. I had left my pair of shoes at the entrance before retiring for the night. By morning, prior to a proposed walk, they had vanished. It ends up that they were borrowed. Humourously, my crocs, a couple, if you will, had gone for separation. One was found in the kitchen and another was found by some stairwell, a result of enthused chaos in preparation for the Chariot Fest today.
In any event, we were all "happy feet" again, and I became majorly involved in a chanting procession which began at noon at Ben Franklin Parkway to the art museum where according to one devotee is the famed place where Sylvester Stallone had himself go up and down those steps for training in the classic film, Rocky.
For the entertainment at the "Parade of Chariots" many Bharat Natyam dances took place. There's a mesmerizing pull that these dance presentations offer, but after a while, I think, the audience wants something more comprehensible (the style of dance has vocalists using non-English formats). Our troupe of monks from Canada came on the stage to demonstrate a different art form with a predominant male presence for "Gita: Concise". It went over really well.
As the day rolled on, my shoes stayed put at the base of my legs. At one point I tucked them under a table situated near the mantra yoga tent where I also conducted a session.
You might lose your shoes, you might lose your soles, but you should never lose your soul.

I noted in my last post that television (particularly commercial tv) is the single most influential source of information for voters during election campaigns.
Direct communication by political parties is also important, tending to trump the febrile discourse of the national print media in effectively communicating with electors.
Much of this also goes under the radar, particularly outside the cities, or the areas where journos themselves tend to live. An example is the direct dissing of Kevin Rudd in the 'sustainability' mailout Labor distributed in Macquarie last week.

and had a sheen like fresh blood. I licked
residue on my lips, knowing I was spreading
more than anything else. "Ahh!" I giggled.
My father feigned terror and held up his hands.
"You monster!" he laughed, bearded face smiling.
I made claws of my fingers and stalked forwards:
my footsteps were slow and lumbered like Frankenstein.
He fell on his haunches, hands protecting his face,
and I peeled them away to smush my red lips on his stubby cheek.
"Like the strawberries?" he asked hugging my small frame.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, kissing again.

**Update: the Jaguar dude emailed me back and was like, I misquoted you…it's $190. I guess that settles it, huh?**
Since The Mister informed me that he wanted to have a car and driver take us from our ceremony to our reception, I've been hard at work searching out our options. Since we're doing it, I wanna do it up right! We'll be in this vehicle for the half an hour it'll take to get from our chapel to the reception site…and maybe it can be in a few pics?
Here are my top two options and I'm looking for opinions here please! The Rolls Royce is choice #1. I like it because it's an old school looking car…but it's also more expensive than option #2. $400 will get me the car and includes gratuity, red carpet, champagne w/engraved glasses that'll have our names and wedding dates on them.
Then there's option #2…the Jaguar. It's pretty fancy and sporty, I'm wondering if The Mister will like this one better because of that. It's iPod capatible and if we want, we can watch a DVD on the way to the reception in there too! It's $250 including driver gratuity, red carpet, "just married" signs, and champagne.
So what do you think? Old school fancy or modern fancy?

text: mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Okay ... I know this is late, since Game of Thrones has been on for 7 seasons. Wife, especially, didn't care to watch it. I was ambivalent, being more into sci-fi than fantasy. I also know there's a huge following, and I'm not saying anything new. But I have to say it ... WOW !!! Wife and I started watching season 1 Sunday afternoon. We watched 4 episodes before I had to start preparing for work. She asked me to stay home Monday, so we could continue watching episodes. I couldn't. We watched another 4 episode last night after I got home from work. Each episode is better than the last and we are solidly hooked. If you're a fan, we understand, now. If you've been putting off watching it, don't. It is WELL WORTH all the acclaim it's getting and all the awards it's won. Anyone else, here, a fan ???

Here's a fact of life: no one likes large social gatherings. Absolutely no one. I'm sure that there are people who think that they do, but they are wrong. What they like are the small social gatherings that they can have inside of the large ones, which is why you constantly have small knots of people forming, usually directly in the middle of the area where everyone else is trying to walk, for some reason. Large groups are full of people you don't want to see, conversations you're trying to avoid, and basically all of the parts of humanity that you try to avoid on a daily basis.
I mean the regular lousy parts, like feeling the breeze when someone coughs, or residual body heat on a seat when you sit down. Crowds are just sort of passively bad. There's plenty of worse stuff about humanity which the nightly news is all too happy to tell you about, but you're not generally going to see murder and mayhem on display in a crowd.
Not in a standard crowd, anyway. Then again, I am here looking for a mad scientist without a moral compass, so I suppose I shouldn't be too sure of that.
Also, I have the top button of my shirt buttoned and I'm wearing a tie, which does not put me at my ease. The tie is an ongoing dangling threat to my health and safety, and the top button provides a constant light constriction to my neck, just in case I'm ever inclined to forget about the tie.
That said, the vague look of being ill-at-ease that this gives me makes me blend in with about sixty percent of the people milling about in the hospital lobby for this symposium right now, so it's a pretty good disguise. The remaining forty percent are bright-eyed, focused and all seem to be trying to sell things to anyone who will make eye contact. I buy a cup of coffee to help me avoid shaking their hands, and if I catch one of them looking my way, I do my best to pretend to be attempting to read the scrawl that is presumably my name off of the coffee cup until they find another victim.
I have a list of the topics being presented today, but the concepts are so foreign to me that they might as well be in another language. I recognize a number of words, like "robotic," "imaging" and "arterial," but not the context they're in. The word "surgery" shows up in many of the titles paired with things I don't understand, like "keyhole."
It's okay, though. I have a plan, and it doesn't require me to know what's going on; I'm learning to play to my strengths. I know what Dr. A. looks like, and he's very distinctive: it's like someone saw the animated brooms from Fantasia and thought, "Not bad, but if I tied these together and put them in a suit, I bet I could make them walk around like a person." He doesn't have a broom for a face, obviously, but everything else from his toast-rack torso to his gangly arms and legs gives that impression.
This is how Brian and I came to give him the name "Ichabot," after Ichabod Crane. I don't know if I'm going to stick with that name, but I refuse to fight a supervillain named "Dr. Adams," or whatever his last name turns out to be. "Dr. A." is mysterious enough that I can work with it. "Dr. Adams" is a podiatrist name.
So the plan is this: loiter in the corner unobtrusively until I spot Ichabot moving through the crowd. If that doesn't work, start sticking my head into various lectures to scan the rooms for him there; even sitting down, he's head and shoulders taller than average, so he should stick out. Also, I've only ever seen him in one suit, so if that's still his go-to, that'll help in identifying him.
Once I've spotted him, I'll simply get close enough to read his nametag, and then voila! Ichabot's secret identity is revealed, and then we turn him over to the police. Or something like that, anyway. I don't actually have any real proof of wrongdoing by him yet, so probably I should get that first. And as Officer Peterson has made clear many times in the past, he'd really prefer it if I managed to do that in a manner that's at least passingly legal. So that part of the plan still needs some work.
All of this is predicated on the idea that Ichabot is coming to this medical symposium, though, and as the day wears on, that's starting to seem less likely. My coffee has long since gone cold, and although I did manage to reheat it with my residual pyrokinesis, I got some weird looks when nearby people heard me whispering "Uuuuuuppp!" at my cup as I lifted my hand slowly into the air. I'm not generally overly concerned with what other people think of me, but since the point of today is to blend in, I'm trying to make a bit of an effort.
I haven't caught sight of Ichabot at the sign-in, and my plan to peer in the back of lectures doesn't pan out well. I'd been picturing these as taking place in big college-lecture-sized halls, but for the most part, the conference rooms in the hospital hold no more than thirty or forty people. That means that opening the door is noticeable and causes heads to swivel; not the subtle entrance I'd hoped for.
After I open one door that turns out to be located at the front of the room, directly next to where the speaker is presenting so that all eyes are immediately on me, I give up this portion of the plan as ill-conceived. I mumble my apologies and retreat to the cafeteria, figuring that most of the attendees will eventually filter through there for lunch.
I'm safely ensconced at a table by the back wall, debating whether I should go check out nearby restaurants or just admit to myself that Dr. A. isn't going to show, when I suddenly see him. He ambles through the door and heads for the food line, and although from this distance I can see that he's in the same worn black suit and he has a badge for the symposium, that's all the details I can make out.
Abruptly, I realize the flaw in my "go read his badge" plan: just as I know what Dr. A. looks like, so too does he know what I look like. In fact, he's been to my places of business on at least two occasions, so he knows at least something about me, too. Enough to realize that running into me here would be no casual coincidence, at the very least. Learning his name isn't worth letting him know that I'm this close to him.
I text Brian:
found him
can't get close to him
he doesn't know you. Come help
Ichabot has gotten a table by the time the response comes back, and I'm practically biting my nails at the thought that we might miss this opportunity.
come help WHERE, o abrupt one?
That is the sort of helpful information I should have provided, yes. I shake my head at myself as I reply, still keeping one eye on my quarry.
same suit
he hasn't seen me. Don't acknowledge me at all
There's no response to these messages, so for the next few anxious minutes, I watch Ichabot progress all-too-rapidly through his lunch, methodically clearing his tray. He's on to the dessert before I see Brian walking toward his table, a tray with food in his hand.
I can't hear anything they're saying over the hubbub of the cafeteria, but Brian takes a seat across from Ichabot and they exchange a few words. Brian starts to dig into his meal, and after a moment, Ichabot unfolds himself to leave. Brian looks up and offers his hand to shake, which Ichabot accepts, then picks up his tray and clears out.
Brian gives it a couple more minutes before standing up himself and bringing his tray over to where I'm sitting. He gives me a thumbs-up on the way over, and as he sits down, I demand, "You got it? You got his name?"
"Yeah, no problem. He wasn't trying to hide it, you know? I said I'm Dr. King can I sit here, he said he was Dr. Acharya and sure, very nice to meet you, lunch lunch lunch, the end. You could've done it yourself if you'd brought one of the masks you were making last time."
"Dude, where were you with that idea when I was signing up for this thing?"
"I figured you had a plan!"
"I did! I had a dumb plan. You should know this about me."
Brian laughs and shakes his head. "Yeah, you're right. This is on me."
I notice after a moment that he's eating left-handed. "Everything all right?" I ask, gesturing to his right hand.
"Oh yeah, totally. But — okay, stick with me on this one, 'cause it's a pretty big reach. But I was thinking that, you know how you can have bomb-sniffing dogs that pick up residue of explosives? Since when you work with stuff, tiny particles tend to get everywhere? I don't have the slightest idea how these nanos work, but on the off-chance that he's got some kind of nano particles riding around, I figured I'd see if I could get some by contact and bring them back to Doc Simmons."
"Man, that's the kind of reach that an NBA player couldn't make."
"Oh yeah? So you know how the nanos work now, then?"
"I didn't say I had a better idea! I'm just staking my 'I told you so' claim right here, so that when Doc Simmons makes fun of you, I get to chime in."

Celebrating The Life of Marius Schoon & Open house.
On May 1st, Comhlámh is launching its new home at 12 Parliament Street. We'll be unveiling a mural by street artist Katrina Rupit. The mural celebrates the life of Marius Schoon, a leading South African Anti-apartheid activist.
Marius Schoon was the co-ordinator of Comhlámh between 1988-1991. This was a turbulent time for Comhlámh, yet he continued his anti-Apartheid work and inspired much of the human rights and refugee solidarity that defined later periods in the organisation's history.
When Marius died on the 7 February of 1999, Nelson Mandela said he was "an enduring example of the fight for non-racialism and democracy. He destroyed the myth that all Afrikaners were racists and oppressors. He therefore will be greatly missed."
Joining us on the night will be Marius' widow, Sherry McClean. Originally from Dublin, she met Marius while volunteering in Tanzania in a school established by the ANC, before returning to South Africa with Marius in 1991. Finally, Brian Harvey an independent social researcher will discuss the challenges facing civil society in Ireland today.
Also present will be Cathryn O'Reilly, one of the Dunnes Stores workers who went on strike over the handling of South African produce.
On the night we will honour Marius with the official opening of the Comhlámh Member's Room and the unveiling of a mural in his honour. Comhlamh has hooked up with Mexican street artist Katrina Rupert. We'll also be reflecting on what it means for Comhlamh to go back to its roots as we launch a new membership scheme and solidarity circle.
Mark Cumming, head of Comhlámh said:
"The night is an occasion to reflect on the legacy Marius leaves for us as Comhlámh on the eve of our 40th birthday. The issues may have changed but the growing inequality of our time, the financial crisis, and the threat of climate change call for new models and new visions of development for here and the rest of the globe. Comhlámh members have played a key role in shaping the agenda on global development here. Whether this was on Apartheid, Fair Trade and the wider trade justice movement, the government's commitment to 0.7% of GDP for the aid budget, the rights of women, the rights of refugees, the accountability of NGOs."
Brian Harvey said:
"Marius Schoon belonged to the small but honourable band of those with an Afrikaans background who took a stand against apartheid. He and his family paid dearly and he spent a significant part of his life in exile. He was a person of calmness but determination, a reminder to us all of the importance of taking a principled political stand against injustice. The recent research of the Advocacy Initiative Are we paying for that? (2014) found that in present-day Ireland our state is, today, intolerant of dissent by voluntary and community organizations, especially those that speak out for global justice. Numerous examples were cited of the state bullying and even taking away the funding of those that made even mild criticisms of development policies and issues. Marius Schoon showed how we – be that at individual or organizational level – should stand up for our principles. His challenge is still with us."
Fritz Schoon, Marius' son described coming to Ireland:
"Marius and I arrived in Ireland on the back of what was a very traumatic experience for us both. The Irish government was kind enough to grant us both citizenship on compassionate grounds. Over and above this gesture, Marius and I received compassion and generosity in many forms from Ireland and its people. As testament to this Marius, speaking of his time in Ireland, reported – in the Rift, by Hilda Bernstein – that 'I really feel that for the last two or three years, for the first time in my life, literally, I've got a stability and a security that I've never had. I am actually enjoying the security that we have at the moment."
"Marius identified with the similarities between the Irish struggle for independence and South Africa's struggle to be free of legalised discrimination, as well as with other similar struggles around the world, including in Palestine for instance. He was only too aware that freedom has to be fought for, and a price will often have to be paid as part of the fight."
Kathrina Rupit, the street artist known as KIN MX said:
"It has been really interesting to do this project, not long ago I had a racist experience my self for first time in Ireland, I was attacked by an Irish guy while I was painting a mural for a commissioned legal project. I was really disappointed, angry and sad, I never expect things like this will happen to me in this country. People in Ireland don't know this kind of injustice still happens, I live with 3 other people from abroad and I'm not the only one with these kind of issues."
If you are interested in coming along please email email@example.com so we can be aware of numbers.

The links of Glasgow Gailes is owned and run by Glasgow Golf Club. And though the current layout of this course is based on Willie Park's design in 1912, the club's origins date back to 1787, thus making it the ninth oldest golf club in the world. Lying less than an hour from Glasgow, Glasgow Gailes is a supremely challenging and traditionally Scottish links and is regularly used as a qualifying venue for the Open Championship. Situated between Troon and Irvine on Scotland's renowned Ayrshire Coast, Glasgow Gailes boasts undulating fairways, fine greens and all the subtle qualities expected from the World's best links courses.
While the course generally plays approximately a half-mile from the shore, rest assured that this does not protect the golfer from the usually strong, swirling and often Machiavellian, firth winds. Fairways, which when in full bloom during summer months often results in heartbreak for the less than accurate strike. Glasgow Gailes is a natural inclusion for any golf trip in the area.

We had another great year at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Attendees gathered from around the globe to hear about trends in HR technology, where HR is headed in the future, and government initiatives to standardize HR and job data exchanges. The conference allowed workgroups to come together, work on standard initiatives, and network. It was a successful conference and great way to ring in the 20h Anniversary of HR Open Standards.
Jim Jensen, SVP of Ceridian kicked off the meeting discussing how the digital age is disrupting businesses and what HR practitioners can do to stay ahead of the technology curve. We must be aware of the changing workforce and the technology that comes with it as Gen Z'ers enter the workforce. By using technology to eliminate complexity, increase trust, and create an entrepreneurial spirit, human resources can be more predictive and actionable.
"52% of the Fortune 500 have been merged, acquired, gone bankrupt, or fallen off the list since 2000." – R Ray Wang, Constellation Research
Enrique Rubio, Founder of Global Hacking HR introduced us to his four core values for the future of HR – putting people first, aligning people and business, becoming more agile, and leveraging technology. By implementing new capabilities into our everyday we'll be able to know how these changes affect the industry and what we can do to stay ahead of the curve.
"85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't even been invented yet." – Dell Technologies- Institute of the Future
A panel lead by Jason Tyszko of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Jason Sole of Direct Employers, and Andrew Cunsolo of Talemetry discussed The Job Data Exchange (JDX) initiative and how it will help employers and HR technology partners send better, faster, clearer signals on in-demand jobs and skills. The session demonstrated how the government and businesses can work together to improve data exchange standards and the need for standards across all organizations.
Rick Barfoot of HRNX and Mahesh Kharade of Harbinger Group lead a session about Blockchain and its impact on HR – how it will challenge traditional HR workflow and what we can to do embrace the change. We're in a period of transition while blockchain is not regulated, understand what can you do as an HR practitioner to stay on top of this trend and make it work for you.
As a Chief Data Strategist for GSA, Marcel Jemio, discussed the need for data management for State and US Federal Governments employee HR records. By designing a standard set of data and using it as the new currency you're able to save time and reduce cost. Another great example of the need for organizations of all sizes to adopt and utilize the Standards!
Bon Idziak, Accurate Background and Ingolf Teetz, Milch & Zucker recapped GDPR; it's effects, what's happening with it today, and policies for the future. As more countries adopt similar policies it's important to implement practices for regulations in the future.
Credential Engine updated attendees on their mission and status. As a "public-good", open-source non-profit, Jeff Grann, Susan Lepo, and their team work to bring credential transparency, increased literacy, and informed decision-making about credentials and their value.
Several sessions demonstrated the successful integration of HR Open Standards schema leading to increased interest in the workgroup contribution and reinstated the importance of Standard adoption and utilization. Workgroup breakouts allowed participants to meet face-to-face to discuss standard updates and releases. Attendees who don't currently participate in workgroups were given the opportunity to see how the workgroups run, why they are a vital component to HR Open Standards, and welcomed to join for future meetings.
HR Open Standards ended the meeting with a celebration of their 20th Anniversary. A big THANK YOU to the speakers, attendees, and sponsors for helping make our Annual Meeting a success!

Is Dishwasher the Place to Store Your Valuables?
So recently there was a supposed news story making its way around social media, when Hurricane Florence was getting ready to hit the Carolina's, that said to put your important papers, documents, etc in the dishwasher for safe keeping.
Is this true or fake news? The thought process behind it kind of makes sense, right? You would think that the thing that keeps water from getting all over your kitchen would keep your documents safe during a flood, but that is not so.
A dishwasher is water tight, meaning it won't leak, but it is not necessarily water proof. Not being water proof will allow water to get in from the outside if your home where to flood.
What should you do with those important papers? Keep a copy of everything on a flash drive and take it with you, should you have to evacuate your home, in any situation. Do you have any other tips to help homeowners keep their important documents safe?
