May 2018 Climate Summary
The general view of the province in terms of rainfall (slide 1) looked more promising compared to last year's month of May and of April this year. When comparing the rainfall to the long term figures (slide 2), we notice that the West Coast and the Central Karoo experienced normal (green and light blue) to above normal rains (darker shades of blue), while the south western and southern coastal parts, including the Little Karoo, received below normal rains (red-orange-yellow shading).
Slide 3 contains data from 35 weather stations consisting of total monthly rainfall, mean monthly maximum (Tmax) and minimum temperatures (Tmin) for May 2018 and historical long term means. Rainfall for May averaged on par with the long term (40mm), while the same figure for 2017 only amounted to 5mm. The median for rainfall in May this year was 25mm versus 4mm for May 2017. The highest total monthly rainfall for May 2018 (184 mm) was recorded near Rawsonville, while for May 2017 the highest rainfall occurred at George (24mm). Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Ceres, Stellenbosch, ect all experienced above normal rains. Conversely Oudtshoorn, Ladismith, George, Mossel Bay, Riversdale, Swellendam & Bredasdorp all received below normal rains. All in all, starting from earlier this year, the trend in the improvement in rainfall during May continued, mostly in the traditional winter rainfall areas.
As for temperatures (slide 3): May experienced reasonably normal Tmax (Celsius) giving an overall average at 23.3 degrees, while ranging between 18.6 (Ceres area) to 26.6 degrees (Klawer & Oudtshoorn). Monthly mean of early morning temperatures (Tmin) for May obtained from the weather stations resulted in a normal monthly overall average of 9.7 degrees, with Tmin's ranging from 3.0 (Murraysburg) to 13.1 degrees (Klawer).
Improvement in rainfall during May lifted the overall water level of provincial state dams (slide 4) from last month's 16% to 19% (28th May), increasing even further to 24% on the 4th June. Obviously the increase was mainly limited to the dams more to the west of the province..
Slide 3
The latest forecasts (slides 5 & 6) presented above normal rainfall conditions for the Western Cape during the following winter months, supported by reasonable confidence levels (ROC area maps).

text: Weaving Architecture Part 1 Project 2014 Reema Abu Hassan American University of Sharjah, UAE There are many things that have become a part of our everyday lives, things that we don't appreciate or ever take a second glance at. Despite the hard work and intricacy which goes into weaving an item, we seem to take it for granted.Weaving is one of the most widespread and traditional crafts in the world. It has been employed to create shelters, baskets, containers and so much more. It has been practiced for thousands of years, and the wide variation of weaving is remarkable. We were given the site and asked to design a workshop and a gallery for a chair designer in the densely woven, historical fabric of Sharjah's heritage area, in the United Arab Emirates. I decided to explore the structural possibilities of weaving due to its relativity to the context. The UAE's historical weaving traditions have been present for thousands of years. Locals employed the ancient craft to create many different items which they would use throughout their daily lives, particularly to store food, such as dates.I employed the weaving throughout the project in order to create a spatial experience of ambient light and shadow. The different densities and tightness of the weave allowed for a change in the amount of light which enters the space, as well as the visibility through the surfaces, but throughout my explorations, I came across the problem of creating enclosure. The solution I found was to apply concrete onto a tightly woven surface, thus using the weaving as formwork which does not need to be disposed of. It becomes an integrated part of the architecture, rather than part of the process of creating the architecture. As for the structure, three layers of beams, each layer going in a certain direction, are used. The woven surfaces are inserted between the top and second layer in order to shade the glass, which is placed between the two bottom layers.Thus, the aim of this project was to explore the spatial and structural possibilities of weaving to create a novel yet regionally specific architectural condition.

Here and there I hear of people wanting to know how to open their third eyes. Like many other things in life, there is no one way it happens. When it comes to matters of the third eye, logic is defied. Since it is a spiritual concept that requires experience not intellect, the mind needs to step aside. Consciousness knows when it is right for the third eye to open, for it is not something to take lightly. Things happen when you are ready and regarding the third eye, this is especially important. For some of the things the third eye reveals require solid grounding, cleared ego, cleared emotions, and cleared subconscious to handle them well. This is why I don't believe in drugs that create this before one is ready (and I have no experience with them to even compare). There are just some things better left to divine timing and its intelligence. Third eye awakening is a responsibility if you intend to use it with impeccability.
Before my third eye opened (and it is still in a continuing process of expansion), I had done some energy clearing work that most likely helped. (I wasn't trying to open it because I didn't know this was even possible). Energy clearing work like qi gong, reiki, etc are great to get energy/consciousness moving! At that time I was also listening to Kelly Howell meditations (available on iTunes). A side benefit may be the third eye will be activated. However, during the process it was clear that clearing my heart and working on my heart center was a great way to accelerate expanding consciousness (although this is hard work, the rewards are worth it). At the time I just didn't know this was what I was doing. Having a happy, clear heart is a wonderful foundation upon which to build.
My thoughts as to why the heart is so important (this is the physical heart and the heart chakra) is that the third eye reveals things to you that need heart energy = love. An open third eye is no good if one has a shrunken heart. Many of us, due to the harsh circumstances on Earth and being so sensitive, have had heart damage/closure to different degrees to protect ourselves. (Who could blame us? We came here like so many others with opened hearts, only to have situations and traumas close our hearts off.) However a shrunken heart is not a healing heart and can tend to judge or criticize others and you will not "see" the positive sides, especially with difficult people. Since the third eye creates a triangle with the two physical eyes, it unifies the polarities of the left and right brain, bringing awareness "upward" to have a higher perspective/see all perspectives/neutrality. The third eye helps healers (many of us are healers, but not in a traditional sense necessarily) to create the space for healing, even if you are not present. Just witnessing a situation, or reading about those involved and staying in a neutral state of mind, and feeling compassion, empathy and love for the situation opens up healing. (Whether or not those involved will accept the love/healing is up to them, but the offering is there for them.)
Heart centered practices
(A word about practices, any spiritual practice…At the beginning it seems we need practices to get where we want to go (love or gratitude practices, etc..), but the truth is at the core we already are love, gratitude, etc. just a lot of, or a little if we are lucky, junk may be surrounding us and getting in the way of its expression. Eventually there is no practice, it just is who we are.):
- Listen to your heart everyday. Wake up and think of and feel things that expand your heart.
- Work with rose quartz and wear it or other heart centered crystals near your heart.
- An amazing, yet challenging way to work with the heart is to think of someone you have difficulty with (the more difficult the better!). Think of the situation with them and allow your heart energy to flow while visualizing them. This gets easier with time, but the blessing of those challenging people is to accelerate our spiritual growth and movement into unconditional love.
- Make up heart exercises – send blessings to people you don't know, visualize sending heart energy, etc. If people want or need to receive it, they will, if not, they won't. Their higher selves are in charge.
- Tap your thymus
- In your day to day life, follow your heart if you so discern/desire
The Ego vs. Humbleness
There may be an aspect of third eye awakening ocurrring after you have healed negative ego programs (ie. belief in inferiority/superiority, pride, etc.) In my experience the third eye will work best from a humble heart. Coming from a not so humble country, lol, we are not necessarily taught to be humble. Many of us awakened souls may find ourselves in truly humbling circumstances in order to ground us so that our evolution may continue. This is a huge blessing although it may look and feel horrid at the time.
There may be an aspect of third eye awakening occurring when you have reached a level of impeccability, but I doubt this is a rule. Impeccability, which seems pretty rare these days, is embodying the qualities of an evolved soul as much as possible – truth, compassion, clarity, integrity, love, wisdom, discernment, etc. Or it may be that you become more impeccable as your third eye awakens since you see the importance of it.
Some sites mention that certain things may keep your third eye from awakening (ie. fluoride, etc.). My feeling is that nothing can override spirit or your higher self's plan regarding the third eye. What is supposed to happen will. Consciousness is powerful and miraculous. Follow your guidance.
Signs that your third eye is opening:
- Pressure, tingling, or tickling in the middle of your forehead, at times very strong
- Seeing white lights or colored lights, or colored energy swirling, especially purple hues
- Seeing geometric shapes
- Seeing places, pictures, scenery or short movies, yet you do not know where it is
- Seeing faces, animals, totems, angels, nature spirits, beings, spaceships, etc.
- Seeing words
- Crown chakra may also tingle
Pros and cons of an awakened third eye…
Deeper level of insight/wisdom/intuition
Deeper level of connection to spirit & creativity (having to create)
Balanced perspectives
"Seeing the light" as they say
Receive information
Seeing through agendas
Visualizations are just "there" you don't try to visualize, although you can
Clairvoyance – "Seeing" the future based on the current situation
Seeing dark energy at times
Startled or feeling fearful if you are not expecting to see something
Not knowing what you saw
People may feel uncomfortable around you since they know you see right through them
Seeing all the ugliness that the light exposes
Not sure what the information you receive is about or what to do with it
Frustrations as to why others cannot see what you see (because it is seemingly obvious)
Others thinking you are crazy because of what you see! (Until it is revealed in another way)
The Responsibility
- Discernment about who you can tell regarding what you "see" and what to reveal or not
- Using empathy, love and compassion during difficult situations
- Not taking sides – mediation
- Putting your own ego and agenda/bias aside
- Communicating from the heart and your intuition
- Focusing on solutions, need be
Keep in mind third eye awakening is a process, not a destination. The process can take years. People have different gifts that surface when their third eye opens. I know of people who have surreal visions like looking into another dimension or others may not see anything, but just know something is present. I tend to see more words, animals and people and the occasional short movie. Regardless, our gifts help us to fulfill our missions in this lifetime. At first it may seem simply entertaining. I remember just gazing at the ceiling at night just watching, but quickly learned distraction is not what it is about!
To creating with our hearts and third eyes open!

B.C. government report suggests there's only one group of people who actually like ticket scalping
In news that should surprise no one with the possible exception of your neighbourhood ticket re-seller, a B.C. government report has concluded that the province's concertgoers aren't fans of scalper bots.
In a report released yesterday, the province announced that roughly 6,500 hundred people responded to an online government survey launched in March. Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth asked concertgoers to share stories about ticket buying, reselling tickets, and buying tickets from resellers.
The initiative was sparked partly by the outrage expressed by B.C. music fans who'd hoped to attend the Tragically Hip's farewell show in Vancouver in 2017. As is the case with many high-profile shows, fans went online to buy tour tickets that were snapped up by sophisticated bots in seconds.
Those bots use algorithms to bypass limits on the number of tickets that can be bought by an individual. Tickets often pop up minutes later at inflated prices on secondary-seller sites like StubHub.
Of the respondents to the government's March survey, 97 percent want bots banned, with 83 percent in favour of capping the price tickets can be resold for. The report also stated that approximately 10 percent of survey respondents were unable to get into an event after purchasing tickets through a secondary seller.
Farnsworth will use the survey results to help devise a government strategy to regulate the selling of concert tickets. It should be noted that scalping has been a problem not just in B.C., but across the world, since the Beatles were on their first tour of North America.
StubHub spokeswoman Aimee Campbell issued a statement after the report's release looking forward to reviewing whatever measures Farnsworth comes up with. "StubHub is supportive of measures that protect consumers and serve the best interest of fans including banning the use of bots," Campbell said.
On January 1 of this year Ontario introduced legislation banning bots, as well as banning tickets from being resold at anything above 50 percent of its face value. Facing increasingly vocal criticism from frustrated music fans, Ticketmast announced yesterday it was shutting its secondary-selling sites GET ME IN! and Seatwave in Europe.
A Ticketmaster blog post said the company has heard what fans have to say, and that they are "tired of seeing others snap up tickets just to resell for a profit." It went on to state, "Secondary sites just don't cut it anymore. All we want is you, the fan, to be able to safely buy tickets to the events you love."
In the meantime, should you be interested in seeing the Beyonce Jay-Z double bill at BC Place on October 2, Ticketmaster lists a single ticket in B-3 right near the stage as going for $347.80 including service charges. StubHub has a ticket in the same section for $1,860.

All things considered, October is one of the best months of the year to visit Spain.
Temperatures are mild and tolerable throughout much of the country, a welcome relief to the scorching summer much of Spain experiences. Additionally, relatively low numbers of tourists and plenty of fun events mean that it's easier than ever to immerse yourself in local culture, no matter where you may be.
Ready to go? Here's what to expect when visiting Spain in October. From unique local events to fabulous weather, you really can't go wrong with any destination in this beautifully diverse country.
Spain Weather in October
Keep in mind that the weather in Spain in October can vary greatly depending on where in the country you are. In general, though, the average high temperature throughout the month is between 60 and 70 degrees, and the average lows come in at around 50 to 60 degrees.
Northern Spain experiences what many of us associate with classic fall weather. The temperatures here are lower than anywhere else in the country during October (though not unpleasantly so), and cloudy, rainy days are not uncommon.
Madrid and Barcelona, despite being located hundreds of miles apart, enjoy quite similar weather in October. Highs in both cities are in the low 70s, and rain—though possible—is generally rare.
The further south you move, the better the weather gets. Southern cities such as Seville, Cordoba, and Malaga still feel like they're almost stuck in late summer, with warm, sunny days, temperatures in the mid-to-high 70s, and a slim-to-none chance of rain.
What to Pack
Overall, packing for Spain in October is relatively easy. You'll want to think in terms of clothing that can easily be layered—although temperatures are generally pleasant throughout the day, you may still need a jacket or a sweater in the mornings and evenings.
Invest in a sturdy pair of shoes, especially if you'll be doing a lot of walking. Ankle boots are a great way to stay on-trend here in Spain without sacrificing comfort.
Bring an umbrella with you if your itinerary includes a stop or two in northern Spain, but if you'll be down south, don't worry about it. In the rare chance that it does rain, you can easily purchase one here.
Spain Events in October
October sees everything from major national events to small, local celebrations taking place all over Spain. Here are a few dates to save.
- Architecture Week: Learn about some of the Spanish capital's most iconic buildings during this fascinating and fun-filled week in Madrid. (September 30–October 7, 2019)
- Cavatast: Celebrate cava, Spain's signature sparkling wine, at this weekend full of wine and food in Catalonia. (October 4–6, 2019)
- Spanish National Day: Spanish heritage is commemorated with solemn military parades and awe-inspiring aviation flyovers in Madrid. (October 12)
- Barcelona Jazz Festival: Household names and up-and-coming stars of the genre convene in the Catalan capital, performing at more than a dozen venues around town. (October 19–31, 2019)
- Bilbao Night Marathon: Run through the streets of one of the Basque Country's most iconic cities after dark. (October 19, 2019)
- Horror & Fantasy Film Festival: San Sebastian's main cinematic event takes place in September, but the city also plays host to its delightfully terrifying counterpart just in time for Halloween. (October 26–November 1, 2019)

- Dress for the season, rather than the weather. Throughout Spain, locals will start to don fall clothes in September, despite the weather still being quite warm. To blend in more, consider doing the same. Things like short-sleeved shirts are generally okay, but you won't see anyone wearing flip-flops, for example.
- On major national and local holidays, such as Spanish National Day on October 12, many businesses such as family-owned stores will close for the day. Keep this in mind when shopping or running errands.
Still wondering if visiting Spain in October is a good choice for you? Check out our complete guide to the best time of year to visit Spain for a full month by month breakdown of what to expect throughout the year.

Heian Jingu Shrine
Heian Shrine, Heian Jingū has a relatively short history, dating back just over a hundred years to 1895. The shrine was built on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto and is dedicated to the spirits of the first and last emperors who reigned from the city, Emperor Kammu, 737-806 and Emperor Komei, 1831-1867. Heian is the former name of Kyoto.
A giant torii gate marks the approach to the shrine, around which there are a couple of museums. The actual shrine grounds themselves are very spacious, with a wide open court at the center. The shrine's main buildings are a partial replica of the original Imperial Palace from the Heian Period, built on a somewhat smaller scale than the original.
Behind the main buildings there is an attractive, paid garden with a variety of plants, ponds and traditional buildings. The garden's most striking feature are its many weeping cherry trees, which bloom a few days later than most other cherry trees, making the garden one of the best cherry blossom spots in Kyoto around the tail end of the season, which is usually around mid April.

FERGUSSON, James. Ayr 22.1.1808 — London 9.1.1886. British (Scots) Architect and Historian of Indian architecture. Son of Dr. William F., educated at Edinburgh High School and at Hounslow. He came early to Calcutta and served at Fairlie, Fergusson & Cny, where his elder brother (and earlier other relatives) was a shareholder. He soon founded his own indigo factory and luckily parted from the mother company before its bankruptcy. In ten years he earned a wealth, so that he was able to leave business and concentrate on archaeological research. He travelled around India studying its ruins in 1835-42. In 1842 he returned to England and settled down in London for the rest of his life. In 1845 again visited India. In 1856-58 he was the general manager of Crystal Palace Company and in 1868 secretary to A. H. Layard at the Ministry of public works, then an inspector of the ministry. However, as a layman he was not much appreciated in public life. He died in a stroke.
JF was a noted specialist of architecture, who did important pioneer work in Indian archaeology. He was a skilled user of camera obscura. He was the first, who attempted at a systematical study of Indian cave architecture, and the first to present Amarāvatī finds. While in India he also studied on physical geography (rivers of Bengal), in England on the megaliths.

Or why not have different coloured bouquets for each bridesmaid, with touches of each of these colours within the bridal bouquet?
There have been many different types of wedding flowers in Marlow over the years – but there's still the chance to make unique bouquets for your bridesmaids!

After the regional launch of Zenfone 2 in Jakarta, Indonesia in April, it is finally coming to the Philippines tomorrow, May 16, 2015.
The biggest launch of Asus Zenfone 2 is happening at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, Philippines.
Asus Philippines sent us a review unit for us to test and get our feedback about the most successful brand from Asus. We got the top-end specs, the model with 4G RAM, 32G internal storage and powered by Intel Atom Quad Core Z3580 (2.3GHz) processor.
By confirming that we got the 4G RAM with Quad Core 2.3Ghz model, it is safe to say that this model is arriving. You have to prepare your money because it will be available immediately after the public launch on Saturday.
Design and build
Zenfone 2 has a great look (pogi sya, pramis!), perfect to hold in your hands with its very simple design from the front to the back. Asus logo on top is not annoying to the eye, while the semi-curved design is blends to the current designs of smartphones available in the market today.
Always hold your Zefone 2 front-facing, because looking at it from the back will remind of your LG G3, volume control is at the back, on top of it is the camera and the LED flash. The only difference is that Asus put the power button on top of the Zenfone 2 which makes it a little harder to reach if you want to turn on or turn off your screen. That said, Asus also immitated LG's double tap technology to turn on and off the screen.
Although Zenfone 2 has a removable plastic back cover, the battery is sealed to the body. Micro-SIM and micro-SD slots are conveniently located on the cover of the battery of Zenfone 2.
Camera and multimedia
For the tech-savvy future owners of Zenfone 2, you will like the camera so much. It has lots of options to choose from so that you will get the best photo when you press the shutter.
But just like any other Android smartphone, you can't choose a customized settings and retain it everytime you want to snap a photo. In terms of focusing speed and taking the shot, you can depend on the Zenfone 2. The set of outdoor shots I took in our trip to Isabela was taken while we are inside moving van. So take note of the image stabilization and clarity of photos while a photographer is in motion.
Sample shots taken with the the Zenfone 2.

Outdoor shots
Panorama shot
Front camera shots
Sample video.
Shoot out: Galaxy Note Edge vs Zenfone 2
Before you judge the results of the photos we took from each of the phones. Take note of the official pricing of both phones too. (Google mo na lang, sir/maam. 😉 ). In each photo, I attached the EXIF (EXIF is a standard that specifies the formats for images data from a digital camera) so to show the legitimacy of each photo.
I used camera's automatic settings in taking photos above. The use of default settings is observed here because most of us would snap a photo without customizing the settings. We change the colors, sharpness, and others when we start to post it in our social media accounts such as IG or Facebook.
In terms of colors, the Note 4 Edge has the better color and sharpness. I also observed some washed out photos with Zenfone 2 while Note 4 Edge's photos are clear.
Battery life
Twelve hours, period. I'd charge Zenfone 2 around 12midnight before I sleep, quick charge app estimates it at more than 2.5-hour charging. I'd wake up at 4PM and from there I turn on the WiFI, but 8AM I'd switch to mobile data until about 2PM. By 3PM, I would switch to Wi-Fi to conserve some more battery. Twelve hours is the recorded battery life from a single charge. Di ko na kelangan magdala ng Powerbank
For the geeks, here are the benchmarks recorded by Zenfone 2. Antutu gave a high score of 45,911 and Nenamark reports 59.7fps.
For a few days, I went out of my way and worked in my favorite coffee shops in Makati and used Zenfone 2 as my hotspot. Used Bluetooth to stream music and tranfer files. LTE is superb and delivered well by Zenfone 2. I did not notice any heating issue during the test.
I, therefore, conclude that Asus has successfully made it to the smartphone business. The Zenfone 2 is the first-ever smartphone with 4 Gigabytes of RAM. The same RAM I have in my 13-inch Macbook Air. Imagine how much processing power the Zefone has. You can literally connect Zenfone 2 to an LCD monitor via HDMI, connect a Bluetooth keyboard and you now have a powerful computing machine. (I wish I still have time to do it though). Asus has also put a lot of homegrown apps so that Zenfone 2 can be customizable. You may call it bloatware, but you will love it nonetheless because it makes your experience easy. With Asus ZenMotion or gesture support, you can launch apps by simply drawing a character in your screen during sleep mode — you can draw C to launch Camera , W to launch Browser , O to launch Calendar, e to launch Email, Z to launch ASUS Booster, or V to launch Dialer. These stuff makes your life easier.
Am I buying Zenfone 2? Definitely yes. I am sold out because of the specs, features and the looks. Oh, the price points also will help buyers decite to buy the Zenfone 2.

The NSSA Double Handed Team Racing Championships will take place at Oxford Sailing Club on Saturday 21st March. This event is sailed in Fireflies which are provided by the organisers and it will be two boat teams as in previous years.
The cost is only £17.50 per person and this includes the hire of the boats. Reasonably priced food will be available at the sailing club throughout the day.
To enter you need to log in and then click the link on the left hand side of the screen. Please note that registration doesn't guarantee a place in one of the teams as we can't submit any entries to the organisers until we have complete teams. We also don't know at this stage how many teams we will be allowed to enter. As we are unlikely to be able to enter more than two teams there is an initial limit of 8 sailors, it is therefore essential that anyone who would like to attend this event enters as soon as possible.


text: Most businesses don't always focus on the marketing aspect of things when they are shorthanded and do not have any specialization in the field of marketing. This process usually only takes 15 minutes to create an Ad that can help generate a boost in your activity with your customers, I will break down this easy process step by step. First you want to identify what it is you want to effectively sell to your customers if its brand awareness, a promotional sell, or a new product launch. Once you've identified what it is you want to convey to your customers you must now think in which ways will your customers most likely receive this message and want to act on it. This is usually the hardest part of the process and it takes some research and an understanding of your customers to successfully do this. If you find yourself having a hard time with this step take a look at some of your competition and see how they are sending messages through ads and then come back to the process and factor that in with your customers who may be a little different and add the uniqueness of your company. Once you have your message fully locked in you must then gather a great idea to display this message whether it is a through a display, video, podcast, or any thing you bring your creative mind to doing. This can be a bit tricky when you are not skilled with putting together your creative thoughts and bringing them together. If you are able to use power point, and use a camera phone or google this is simple. You can take a photo of something that represents your message and add text to the picture and if you want to take a step further take a few more pictures and add text or talk over the presentation conveying this message more drawn out and export it as a video. Now you have a simple commercial. This is a wonderful feeling when you have a message complete that you want your current customers to see in hopes that it will bring better quality to your business to attract new customers. This process takes 15 minutes of complete focus and should be used so you can effectively engage your customers through the channels of your choice. This can be done on the fly it is such a simple process and most business owners and teams fail to do this. – Dom

Apprentices taking their first step on the career ladder should be offered a pay rise, according to a North East MP.
Guy Opperman, Conservative MP for Hexham, believes the apprentice rate should be raised from £2.73 to £3.79.
The Tory believes the hike - which brings the rate in line with the national minimum for 16-to-17-year-olds - would make apprenticeships more attractive to teenagers and ensure they get a fair deal.
His call comes after a dramatic increase in the number of apprenticeships in the North East; there are around 36,000 of the training contracts in operation here today compared with just 19,000 in 2009/10.
The MP has written to the Low Pay Commission, the body advising the government on what wages are fair, with his recommendations.
He said: "The huge increase in the number of apprenticeships since 2010 is something everyone should welcome.
"In Northumberland alone we have seen the number of apprenticeship starts more than double from 2,100 in 2009/10 to 4,410 last year."
Mr Opperman is also supportive of the living wage and was the first MP to employ an apprentice in his office.
Teenager Jade Scott, from Prudhoe, completed her Business and Administration Apprenticeship in 2012 and now has a full time position with the MP in his Hexham office.
The MP said: "We have seen a enormous explosion in apprenticeships and a realisation that they are now a excellent route for young people into work. I have seen it first hand myself with my own apprentice.
"An apprenticeship can make all the difference in ensuring our young people have the right skills and an opportunity to get themselves into a successful career.
"The time has now come to increase the basic rate of pay for apprenticeships so they are even more desirable for young people in the North East."
Beth Farhat, Northern TUC Regional Secretary, backed the MP's call and said more money should go into enforcing the current wage restraints too.
She said: "Apprentices aren't just learning a trade or a profession when they are taken on by employers, at some point they will also become part of the UK workforce and the skills they acquire now will be vital for our economy's performance in future years.
"But there are some unscrupulous employers who cheat their young apprentices out of a legal wage and more money must go into enforcement to make sure that the law-breaking of these bad bosses doesn't go unpunished.
"Apprentices on the minimum wage currently earn just £2.73 an hour but it's likely that there are many employers who could afford to pay their trainees more an hour.
"The TUC would like to see apprentices across the North East getting a much-needed pay rise and will be putting evidence to the Low Pay Commission soon saying that this could happen without any impact on the number of apprenticeships across the region."

Every once in awhile, while I continue to percolate on the edit for The Ninja Network book, I get a note from someone who has been patiently waiting for publication… reminding me of the potent power of Ninja.
Today's provocation, from a parent:
"My kids are very into Ninjago (Lego ninjas) right now. They've been playing the video games and watching the movie and we suddenly realized that there are no females. When my daughter asked if a girl can be a ninja, I could say without hesitation – absolutely yes! They seem to make the best ninjas I know. All your fault. Thanks."
~ Jess, parent of "boy child" and "girl child", aged 4andahalfno5 and almost7.
Seemed only fitting Jess' kids be inducted as Ninja-in-Training.
The Ninja Network is all about bringing your gift and deploying it boldly. Being aware, confident, responsible, grateful, and having at least one adventure every day.
Who can be Ninja? Girls, Boys, Parents, Kids, Friends, Co-workers, Neighbors, Pets… quite frankly, everyone. Every. Single. One.
Especially kitties. Ninja Kitties.

My Biweekly Obsession
It seems that every 2 weeks or so, I become obsessed with something. It might be a movie I watched or a video game I played, or just something I saw on TV.
This weekend, on the way to Cedar Point, I heard a story on NPR about Laika, the Cosmonaut dog. I don't know if it was the way the narrator told the story or just the idea of this dog goiing into space, but I can't stop thinking about the poor thing.
So now, I'm obsessed with a dog who died almost 50 years ago. What the hell?

Proceedings PaperThe Wavelength Diversity Of Speckle
|Member Price
|Non-Member Price
Paper Abstract
Under monochromatic illumination, objects with a scale of roughness or texture grossly on the order of the wavelength appear to a viewer to be speckled. The occurrence of these speckles, which are rapid intensity variations in the image, often leads to a substantial reduction in the apparent resolution of the imaging system. While the exact speckle structure is, in principle, deterministically related to the specific textural detail of a particular object, still its effect is often deleterous since other feature details are often greatly obscured in the speckled image. The distinction between textural and feature details is rather subjective, and so it may be helpful to describe some specific cases. Thus, holograms of typical biological specimens of microscopic size are usually so speckled in reconstruction as to render them impractical. Boundaries, cell walls and the like, are completely lost in the speckle. And one almost never uses a laser illuminator in a microscope due to the attendant speckle and interference fringes, unless there is an overriding need for the mono-chromaticity, e.g., as in flourescence systems. Some feeling for the effect of speckle can be gained if the reader will glance ahead to the illustrations in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. So for many purposes speckle is troublesome and unwanted, that is the position we take in this paper; however, it is worth noting, as an aside, that others have reported useful applications of speckle in metrology and in surface texture analysis.

"Why do bad things happen?"
It's a common question. In fact, I'd say it's probably the most common and difficult question each one of us human beings face each day. We all go about our business, living each day just like the last. Then BAM. There's a tragedy or a disaster. Someone loses a job, there's a death in the family, a lie or betrayal is exposed, or a tornado strikes. In a moment, our everyday comfortable life is upended. We're left asking the question, why?
In the context of teaching or leading Sunday School, we're confronted with this question in a variety of ways. It could be a young child asking, "Why did grandpa die?" Maybe it's a middle school kid who's seen an act of terrorism on TV and asks why God would let that happen. Perhaps it's even a mother who's dealing with issues of betrayal and abuse in her family, who pulls you aside after Sunday School and unloads her burden on you. As Christians, we know the Sunday School Answer: it's all about Jesus. But we also know that that simple answer is often difficult to explain.
So How Should We Respond?
It would be nice when people ask us why bad things happen to be able to engage in a lengthy discussion (or maybe not). We all know, though, that our window for responding to the question of why bad things happen is usually very brief. On top of that, it's such a heavy question! We just don't have time to say much, but what we do say serves as a teachable moment. Below are some tips on how to respond to the question, why do bad things happen? in the midst of the rush of teaching Sunday School.
1. You can say, "I don't know. Ask the pastor."
This may seem like a cop-out, but it's not. Pastors not only love talking theology with people, it's also their calling to communicate God's Word publicly to the congregation. Especially if the person asking is a parent or an older youth, the question of why bad things happen may require a deeper discussion that the short time frame of Sunday School or talks after class cannot give. Pastors are not the only ones who are to give a defense of the truth, but it is part of what God has called them to do. It's okay to point questioning people to them for a deeper discussion.
2. How about asking them, "Why are you asking this question?"
I wrote a whole blog post about this earlier. If you have time to talk about it, their response may lead to a good discussion along with the opportunity to share the Gospel.
3. It's okay to say, "I don't know why this specific bad thing happened. It's just awful."
Where God is silent about this or that specific evil happening in the world, we can be silent as well. The truth is that God hasn't directly revealed to us why this tornado struck that town in that city at that time. Sometimes, we feel the need to fill the void. And when we do, we start putting words in God's mouth that He just doesn't say. Responding that you don't know also opens the door to weep with those who weep. Jesus cried over the death of a friend. We can cry with those suffering from the effects of bad things. We don't have to try to explain things away when God is silent.
4. You can say, "I don't know why this specific bad thing happened, but we do know from God's Word why bad things happen."
We learn from God's Word that, ever since the fall, the world has been a broken place. It's broken by sin, death, and the devil. Broken people will do horrible things, the corrupted earth will produce thorns and thistles to fight against us, and Satan will roam and tempt and devour. This response may not give a direct answer to a problem, but it does reinforce our biblical worldview. We don't have to explain away bad things or try to convince others that a bad thing is really a good thing in disguise. This leads to our ultimate Christian response . . .
5. Try to say, "When bad things happen, we know that God still cares about us. We know this in Jesus!"
When confronted with the problem of evil, the best thing we can do is to point people to Jesus. In our darkness, brokenness, and sin, Jesus came to restore us to the Father. God cared so much about us in our suffering that He sent Jesus on a mission to reclaim us. By Christ's suffering and death, we're forgiven. By His new life, we're promised new life. When He returns, He will ultimately restore this lost and broken creation for God's people. He will make all things new, in a world without pain or suffering, death or regrets. When bad things happen, we don't try to make excuses for God. Instead, we hope in Christ, our Redeemer, Lord, and Champion over the evils of this world.
God's peace to you in the critical mission of Sunday School, where you bear witness to the hope of Christ when bad things happen.

"to feel" is a work describing the body boundary confusions I struggled with as a child. I often felt that the energies in my body overpowered me physically and emotionally. In time I was able to harness these energies in my creative practice, find more groundedness and live with less fear.

When I edit the WebMap in my portal, such as adding new layers or configuring Popup, these changes are immediately available for my Web Application. However, when I load the map from the Runtime, the changes are not available when I restart my ArcGIS Runtime application.
It appears that when I clear my IE cache and all historic data, the changes to my Web Map are picked up when I restart the application. While I understand the benefit of caching information on the client, is it possible to disable this caching for metadata about a WebMap so I don't have to clear my cache whenever I make a change to my portal? Or at least make the caching have a shorter expiration?

A New Online Series: Meet the Women of Chasing Grace
Today I'm pleased to announce a new series of online shorts called "Meet the Women of Chasing Grace." While our episodes are currently only available at screenings and won't be online until they're all completed, these online exclusive shorts take you behind the scenes to learn more about the women sharing their stories for the Project.
We're releasing two shorts today and will release one a week each Friday for the next 6–7 weeks. In today's releases you'll meet mom and startup co-founder Abby Cheesman, who tells us what she experienced when pitching venture capitalists while eight-months pregnant. You'll also meet open source tech executive Nithya Ruff, who originally appeared in ours series trailer and tells us about her experience as a young girl in India and the influence her father had on her path into tech.
As women and men invite us into their homes and offices around the world, I'm struck by the beauty of the human spirit. Having the privilege to sit on set across from individuals who are telling us some of their most intimate and vulnerable stories reminds me how brave we can be and how powerful story is in reminding all of us that we're not alone. When we feel connected to each other through story, we're more inclined to also engage, create, build, debate and innovate. It's a critical part of recruiting and retaining women for tech, which is one of this decade's biggest challenges for the industry.
Please take a moment to listen and share and look for the rest these women's stories in an upcoming episode (Episode Two premiere date to be announced very soon).

Argentine artist Tomas Saraceno's exhibition "Lighter than Air" recently closed at the University of Houston's Blaffer Museum of Art. It was an impressive display of lightness, tension and archtectural concepts based on sustainability. It also looked terrific--Saraceno's transparent spheres seemed to float in the space, tethered to the walls, floor and ceiling with elastic rope. Many works utilized iridescent foil, which gave the spheres the colorful appearance of soap bubbles. Art Attack recently came across this video made in 2007, when Saraceno launched a giant iridescent solar dome at a park in England. At first the experiment looks like a complicated game of "parachute," but soon the gigantic bubble is inflated and rippling with color, looking like the galactic-bubble-womb from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
According to the credits, it was inspired by the dome created by Dominic Michaelis in 1975 for the film Hu-Man.
Check out another video after the jump.

text: After all the work with updating the website I wanted to do something different. We have had some very clear days and nights (and cold, today it _snowed_ 6km from here!) and I thought I would try star trails with the pool. In the evening I set up tripod, prepared camera, had the lens focused to be ready before six in the morning and then - clouds showed up! Not to waste the work I took photos anyway, here's the first result.

Bess is definitely the most obsessed with anything new in the house. A little while ago she was in the kitchen barking at the grocery bags on the counter.
Sophie took one brief sniff, and then took advantage of Bess's obsession to snag herself the best seat in the house (right next to the wood stove.)
Zoey doesn't care. She just works at being as cute as she can be at all times.
Noah: "Whatevs. Its not a bone or a stick. Can I go back outside now?"
Bess is now wagging her tale. Something in the crate is snoring.
Bess has now retires to the bed, but she is still keeping an eagle eye on the contents of the crate.
Yes. I got ANOTHER dog. How could I resist?
She is really a pretty pug. One friend said there was no such thing as a "pretty" pug. harumph….
Shelley speaks dachshund much better than I. Here is her interpretation of Sophie's reaction: "…and den mom brot home anodder minion, and den ANODDER one – I have to work so hard to keep dem in line!"
This is long enough for one post. I'll try to be back tomorrow to give you the back story. For now, just know that I am refusing to admit that I have five dogs. I have one large dog, and one unit (maybe I should call them a pod) of small dogs. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The Jonas Brothers 'Lost Touch' with What They Wanted Their Music to Say Before Breakup
The Jonas Brothers announced their reunion earlier this year, and will release their fifth album Happiness Begins in June
The Jonas Brothers are back — and this time, they have something to say.
The trio, made up of brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin, famously parted ways in 2013, only to make a surprising (and welcome!) comeback earlier this year with the announcement of their fifth album Happiness Begins.
As Nick, 26, explains in the band's new (hilariously vintage) PAPER magazine cover, calling it quits was the best thing the Jonas Brothers could have done for their careers, as it allowed them to take a much-needed breather.
"We lost touch with what we wanted to say, because we were trying so hard to say something different from what we said in the past, musically and creatively," he said. "We understood that our level of success and fame had reached a point, where our musicianship and writing and performing abilities needed time to grow and catch up to it."
He added, "It really took the last six, seven years to figure out who we were as people and what kind of music we wanted to make."
The brothers' decision to reunite as the Jonas Brothers once more came only after an "intervention" in Australia, which allowed them to dive into deep-seated issues that stemmed from, and caused, their breakup.
With the band back together, the brothers agreed that this time around, they'd keep it light.
"The choice to do this wasn't out of need, it was more, 'This is something we really want to do together,'" Kevin, 31, told PAPER, with Nick adding that the revamped JoBros are "all about having fun."
Fans will get to see those formative conversations between the brothers in the upcoming documentary Chasing Happiness, which will debut on Amazon Prime on June 4.
RELATED: The Jonas Brothers Documentary, Chasing Happiness, Just Got a Release Date (and It's Soon!)
As for what's next, Nick promised that Happiness Begins' sound will "stay authentic" to who the Jonas Brothers are, while still incorporating trends like trap beats and "one yeehaw moment."
The album's lead single, "Sucker," topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts upon its release in March, marking the band's first No. 1 hit.
They've since sung the song everywhere from Saturday Night Live to the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.

The brothers will also perform on the premiere episode of the rebooted tween sketch comedy series All That, which debuts on Nickelodeon June 15.

Nitral C19 Degassing Tablets Box of 108 x (200gram ) Tablets
A grey black coloured tablet or block.
Ecogas 16 is used to degas most aluminium alloys with the exception of LM5 and LM10 (where the presence of sodium is detrimental).
Ecogas 16 is hexachloroethane free and is virtually fumeless in operation, thus avoiding the environmental problems associated with hexachloroethane based degassers.
Ecogas 16 is ideally suited for use in confined spaces and places where the fume extraction is poor.
Ecogas 16 offers a faster degassing action together with a minimum of turbulence, making it suitable for treatment in transfer ladles normally used in diecasting applications.
Amount to Use
50g - 100g per 25Kg of metal.
250g - 500g per 125Kg of metal
Recommended Application
1. Pre-heat a suitably coated bell plunger to prevent iron pick-up.
2. Turn off heat when the melt reaches the required temperature.
3. When the temperature begins to fall, and is below 760°C, plunge the required amount of Ecogas 16 with the bell plunger to the bottom of the crucible. Hold there until the reaction ceases. The degassing action is more effective if carried out in two stages.
4. Remove the plunger from the melt.
5. Apply a suitable Ecoflux™ to the melt surface and allow to stand for about 2 minutes. Rabble the flux layer into the melt to obtain a glowing dross, substantially free of metal. Skim off, check the temperature, and pour.

How well do you receive? Let's start with compliments. If I were to say, "You look great today" your reply could be "thanks, I feel great" or "that's surprising, considering everything I have going on". How about "you did that job really well". Would you say, "thanks, I really love my career" or "my part was just a small one". And let's up the stakes some. How well do you receive help when it's offered? "I can see you're having some difficulties with____. Can I help?" Do you choose, "thank you, I didn't know what I was going to do" or "no, no, I've got it".
If you don't have the abundance and prosperity in your life right now, abundance that benefits you, you may be a poor receiver. And this doesn't just apply to our financial situations. How are your family/intimate relationships, how well is school/career going, what about those projects around the house.
Some of us are just more comfortable giving than receiving. Notice I didn't say "giving and taking", I said receiving. But, we've all been around others who took more than their fair share. Maybe it left us with an imprint that receiving can be selfish, when it's the taking out of turn that should get the bad rap. Could we view receiving as a way to humble ourselves in the eyes of others (evident when we accept a compliment with negativity).
Compliments can be seen as beautiful flowers. And if someone offered you a lightly fragranced blossom, would you turn it away saying, "No, I'm not good enough for it". Can you see how the offering of the blossom to you has as much beauty for the giver as the receiver?
And then there is the big one, the receiving of assistance. Do you feel weak, as though you shouldn't need anyone else? Think back to the last time you offered someone help. Didn't it feel good, that you were in a position to give a hand up (not a hand out) to someone who needed it? So, someone offering you help now, could it be just as much for them, helping them to feel good, as it is about you?
There is a difference between receiving and allowing in our lives. One definition of allowing is; to permit, to let it happen. For example, I allowed her to come in late. This designates some control in the situation, I'm placing some conditions on it. Is this how you're treating the abundance and prosperity in your life?
Receiving is to take in. An example; I have a client who owes me a fee yet has not paid it. And when I use her place of business, she always tries to give me a discount. The last time I told her stop, all I want is for her to pay the fee she owes. Boy, that's poor receiving. What I'm telling my abundance and prosperity is "I'll give you the conditions for coming into my life". Why not receive the discount and the possibility of her repaying me. And if she doesn't, I'll at least have the discount. But I was afraid that if I "allowed" her to give me the discount, she wouldn't need to feel the debt should be repaid. Why can't I be open to receiving both?
We get what we are open to. Are you open to your abundance and prosperity coming into your life without conditions, letting yourself just take it in as it comes. Or, do you place conditions on it, just as you do with compliments you receive? What areas of your life could you benefit from more receiving and less allowing. The choice is always yours. And, may I say, you look lovely today.
