The Everett Turnpike is a 44-mile highway that runs from the New Hampshire/Massachusetts border to Nashua, carrying well over 100,000 vehicles per day.* In 2005, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) added the EZ-Pass system to speed toll collection and help reduce the risk of accidents. While that was a good step, in 2016 they decided to take the Turnpike to "smart road" status with an Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) that includes Intelligent Transportation System field devices connected to the state's Transportation Management Center (and "Data Fusion Hub").
The sheer scale as well as the breadth of skills required to build smart roads make them complex design build projects. Hundreds of sensors, cameras, microwave motor vehicle detection systems and transmitters need to collect and move huge amounts of data. The whole system hinges on the fiber optic and wireless networks that need to perform flawlessly, around the clock.
The challenges, however, go beyond the concrete, steel and electronics. ATMS projects are subject to unique standards for interoperability and security, and to anticipate autonomous vehicle communication and control. Certifications and performance bonding are critical; these are multi-million dollar, taxpayer funded projects that impact millions of people, and providers need to guarantee on-time completion and competent execution.
Tilson was awarded the project after submitting a proposal that defined a three-party team: Tilson, the IBI Group and MobilityTech. IBI and MobilityTech provided transportation engineering and project management services. Tilson oversaw project execution, performed network engineering, and took the lead on civil construction, and testing and acceptance.
Tilson's network engineering and network deployment teams took on the RF engineering and network design, and deployed the wireless network. In fact, Tilson started pre-project planning prior to hearing the State's decision, just so they could hit the ground running if they landed the project.
The Everett Turnpike represents New Hampshire's commitment to providing its citizens and visitors safe, enjoyable transportation experiences. With superior vehicle surveillance, police and first responders can be more effective. Intelligent transportation reduces the risks to construction and maintenance crews. Portable and permanent signs convey weather and road conditions. With all these advantages, the future of transportation looks bright indeed.

Courgette Frittata
- Serves: 2
- Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
- Refrigeration time: 2 hours
- Total time: 45 minutes
- 2 courgettes, cut into thin round slices
- 2-4 tsp. Sacla' Classic Basil Pesto or Organic Green Pesto
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 6 eggs
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. water
- Salt and pepper
A fritatta is an Italian dish made with eggs, and is most similar to a quiche. The word frittata comes from the Italian word for fried, and a fritatta usually contains a mixture of meats, cheeses, vegetables and sometimes even pasta. This classic frittata recipe makes use of a pesto sauce to save some time, and some cougettes (zucchini) to add flavour and texture.
This recipe was kindly provided by Sacla, who produce a wonderful range of authentic Italian foods.
- Melt one knob of butter in a frying pan on a medium heat and add the garlic and courgettes. Fry gently until the courgettes are cooked through.
- Place the courgettes in a fine sieve. Cover with a small plate and add a weight.
- Leave to drain for 30 minutes.
- Whilst draining the courgettes; whisk the eggs with the water until light and fluffy. Add the Sacla' Pesto and to the mixture and then season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the last knob of butter in the frying pan and turn to a medium heat. Arrange the courgettes evenly across the base of the frying pan and pour over the beaten egg. Leave to cook gently for a few minutes. Keep the heat on medium to low (so it does not burn the bottom of the frittata) and start to ease the frittata away from the edge of the pan.
- When the base looks set but the frittata is still uncooked on the top, place it under a hot grill until it is cooked through.
- Allow to rest for a minimum of 2 hours in the fridge.
- When ready to serve, flip onto a chopping board and cut into 2in/5cm circles with a pastry cutter, or cut into thin slices. Serve cold or warmed through (approximately one minute in a microwave). The frittata can be made 24hours in advance and refrigerated.
One courgette has just 25 calories (compared to a baked potato, for example, which has 130 calories).

Grazing Horses WIP
I've been adding to the daily painting from a couple days ago. I wanted to have a grouping of 3 horses, keeping it loose and allowing it to evolve. I am trying to get to the point where less is more in these types of paintings– to not overwork it and to do 'just enough' to get the point across. I intend to further develop some of these daily paintings into more detailed works but am finding some can stand alone as is. Some I am done with. 🙂 Meaning it was an 'exercise' and I got that day's exercise finished. So I am learning to take the good with the bad and continuing on. I am actually quite excited about his project as a whole because I am seeing the value in giving myself this time to paint for me. I have spent a fair bit of time painting for others, which is fine but I think of this time as my time to let my artistic spirit grow and do what it wants to do.
As many of you may know, trying to corral anything it is more easily done by persuading and opening up the right places to enter than it is by forcibly pushing something into a desired space. Reminds me of our farming days when I had to help my husband bring in the cattle. He liked to do it with the ATV, racing around, revving the motor and getting the cattle all riled up. That is probably because my husband is a 'go-getter', a first born who sets a goal and than just goes after it. This approach has done him well in most areas but cattle herding! 🙂 I am a meander er (If that's a word!!). I meander and wander and chase the butterflies but I also became a good cattle herder because I approached herding cattle by giving them a place to move into. My job was to think ahead and let the open space be where I wanted them to go. Horses are alot like this too. I am beginning to see this exercise in the same light. I am showing up each day to say, 'what place is opening up today? What am I envisioning and where can this go?' And then I just have to let it happen. thanks for following along!
happy trails! 🙂

Roasted Salmon with Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Delicious, easy to make, and packed with eye-healthy nutrients? Meet your new go-to fish dish
Fess up: You know you don't eat enough fish. Popcorn shrimp and fried fish tacos don't count! We're talking about the kind of cold-water fish like salmon that can help keep your eyes (and the rest of you) healthy.
One serving of salmon provides plenty of vitamin D, a nutrient that has been shown to ward off dry eye syndrome. This dish also delivers those inflammation-slaying omega-3 fatty acids you've heard so much about. Research suggests that eating fish at least twice a week can lower your chances of developing age-related macular degeneration by more than a third.
When you put it that way, salmon has never looked so good.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Serving Size: 1 filet
Servings: 4
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and arrange in a baking dish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Roast in the oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily when pierced with a fork, about 8 to 12 minutes.
- While the salmon is cooking, make the salad: Combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, oregano leaves, white wine vinegar and remaining olive oil in a mixing bowl, and toss. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Arrange the salmon fillets on a serving platter, top with the salad, and serve immediately.

Happy Friday everyone!! The return of reality is here. What I am trying to say is my vacation is about over. Yes, I am little sad its about over however I am quite happy to be getting back into the swing of things. Structure is key for many people who struggle with mental illness. That what my job does for me; it gives me structure even though I do not like my current employment. I am not a big fan of my schedule next week. I only get 13.5 hours next week and am not scheduled for Sunday. I normally work 20 hours a week so I'm a little frustrated that I get so few hours. Since I have Sunday off that means I don't get Sunday pay. If you work Sunday you get time and a third. It sucks that I don't work Sunday but at least I work on Friday which happens to the 4th of July. I get holiday pay for work the 4th of July. For me that means I get double time. I guess the silver lining in my schedule is that I get holiday pay and extra day off. I am hoping that they ask me to work longer on one of the days I work. I will take them up on it if they do.
Another reality is that I am going to be extremely structured this week. More structured than I normally am. I am going to a three day training regarding co-occurring disorders. This training if for those already certified as peer counselors. Even though I am not employed as a peer counselor yet, I figure going to this training will look good on a job resume'. Plus when I do get a job as a peer counselor this training will help me better to help those who struggle with co-occurring disorders. I am looking forward to this training and hope that I have time to breathe this next week.
Yes, this next week will quite busy for me but am quite grateful to be getting back into the swing of things. Getting back to reality is how I like to say it because its true. When I have too much time on my hands like this week my reality is making sure I plan things to do or the lack of structure can lead to symptoms of my mental illness acting up. Thankfully, I had some structure to not have my symptoms act up.
I am grateful that my mental illness is stabilized. I am beyond grateful that I am recovery. I will continue to do the recovery thing no matter how difficult it may be. Recovery is a lifelong journey. My reality is strongly connected to my recovery. The reality of being in recovery means the world to me.
Speaking of reality, I need to get going. It's 10:00 pm (pacific time) and haven't had much to eat today. So, my boyfriend is reheating leftovers for the both of us to eat. The food is almost done being reheated and I should go and eat. I will end this blog entry for now. Enjoy the remaining 3 hours of Friday. Peace out and enjoy your weekend.

Beloved Fil-Am activist Joe Montano dies at 47
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hailed by Filipino American leaders, civil rights advocates and elected officials as a committed public servant and passionate Filipino community activist, Joe Montano passed away peacefully on July 25 in his home in Falls Church, Virginia. The cause of his death was not known at press time. He was 47.
Montano was the Northern Virginia regional director if US Senator Tim Kaine, who is Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's running mate.
Montano's boss, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in a statement that "Joe was an outstanding representative of this office, enthusiastic servant of the people of Northern Virginia, and admired colleague by all who worked with him. We will remember him by his positive energy, tireless work ethic, and infectious smile."
(Kaine offered a touching tribute to Montano shown on YouTube. See accompanying story by Nimfa Rueda, "US VP bet Sen. Kaine gets teary-eyed over Fil-Am staffer's death.")
"We are all saddened and overcome with grief," says NaFFAA National Chair JT Mallonga. "Joe personified NaFFAA's aspirations for community empowerment, which he demonstrated in ways that are admirable and inspiring. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones."
Montano served as NaFFAA's executive director from 2000-2002. During his tenure, he coordinated NaFFAA's FilAm Vote, a nationwide voter mobilization program that involved extensive outreach to Filipino American communities and student campuses across the country.
"Joe enjoyed organizing get-out-the-vote campaigns, especially among the youth, always reminding them to be engaged and let their voices be heard, loud and clear," recalls Gloria T. Caoile, NaFFAA's founding director of FilAm Vote.
"In the trenches, one could not help but feel his energy. He lived his life to empower the disenfranchised and marginalized and to create pathways for many!" Caoile adds.
Fought for Filipino veterans
Steven Raga, NaFFAA regional youth director, also recalls how Montano inspired him the first time he attended a Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue (FIND) conference.
"Joe patiently broke down the importance of the FilVets Full Equity campaign, how critical it is for students to take part in greater community advocacy, and the principle of fighting for those who fought for you. I've forgotten many of my FIND experiences, but I won't forget that. Joe gave me and countless others that initial clarity and motivation to put community before ourselves."
Proud of his father who served in the U.S. Navy, Montano took up the cause of Filipino World War II veterans "with dedication and zealous commitment," says NaFFAA National Chair Emeritus Loida Nicolas Lewis. "Joe's enthusiasm was infectious when he walked the halls of Congress or marched with our veterans on the streets. He always knew what was at stake."
At NaFFAA's founding conference in August 1997, Montano was among the youth leaders who rallied the community to march to the White House and support the Filipino veterans' demand for equity and justice. The Rescission Acts passed by Congress in 1946 stripped them of their rightful benefits.
Because he was "a tireless advocate for issues of concern to both the Filipino American and AAPI communities, we all feel the impact of his loss," points out Sonny Busa, chairman of the Philippine American Foundation for Charities (PAFC) and a regional director of the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project (FilVetREP).
Passion for politics
Charmaine Manansala, the 2008 Obama Campaign AAPI Vote Director, describes Montano as "a giant in the Filipino American community, a strong organizer in Virginia politics, and a mentor to many young Filipino American up and comers. Our community shines a little less bright today but let's continue the work that Joe loved so well."
As NaFFAA executive director, Montano represented the organization in Washington's policy-making circles, working in coalition with other AAPI leaders on such issues as comprehensive immigration reform, hate crimes, workers rights and other civil rights concerns.
"Joe was among the many young people – a new generation of eager activists – who responded in the early 1990s to a call to form Filipino Civil Rights Advocates (FilCRA), a national civil rights organization," recalls Lillian Galedo, executive director of Filipino Advocates for Justice.
"He shared his passion for political involvement through hard work and humor. (I loved how funny he could be.) He found his niche in electoral politics — fired up by the election of the first African American president; working tirelessly for liberal and progressive candidates. Joe embodied his generation's desire to bring the Filipino community to the national political stage," Galedo adds.
Cultural activist
During his college days at George Washington University, Montano pursued more than a passing interest in Philippine history, arts and culture. Like many of his contemporaries who were born in the U.S., he wanted to learn as much as he could about his roots and national heritage. The Philippine Cultural Society at GWU provided a venue for exploring cultural identity and sharing experiences with other students.
He later availed of further opportunities to learn more by performing in various cultural shows for Tanghalang Pilipino ng DC and taking on various dramatic roles in QBD Ink's theatrical productions.
QBD Ink director Reme Grefalda remembers Montano's auspicious start, and how he racked up a variety of roles: as a menacing military goon in "Hacienda the Musical," as a runaway teen mentored by Rizal in "Oyang Dapitana," as a member of the firing squad that killed Rizal, and as a member of the tribunal in "In the Matter of Willie Grayson." Joe the actor also extended to being stage manager, stagehand and assistant to the producer.
Montano also volunteered with Mabuhay, Inc.'s Camp Mabuhay Project, which endeared him with Filipino children adopted by American parents.
"Joe realized early on that the children need to have role models and to be anchored to their birth culture in their ongoing struggle to define who they are and what they bring to the table, especially in the context of being Filipino American," says Mencie Hairston, a founder of Mabuhay.
"At camp, you saw several kids hanging on to him and competing for his attention. Of course, he always managed to be the 'coolest' kuya (big brother) in the room," Hairston recalls.
Tribute from elected officials
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe commended his "passion and boundless enthusiasm."
US Rep. Don Beyer praised Montano as "a voice for the people of Northern Virginia" who was "committed to achieving progress through public service. We need more like him, and his death at such a young age fills me with sorrow."
Born in Norfolk, Virginia, Joe Montano is survived by his parents, Lori and Jose Montano, his sister, Amy Lopez, and brother, Ben.

Stirling Farmers Market - Selling only produce direct from the grower/maker - is a project of the Rotary Club of Karrinyup
NB: Although the market is allowed to trade there are some changes.
Due to still significant threat of Covid-19, farmers markets have had to pivot from being a lively morning out in our community to being a chance to shop for essential fresh food only. As such, for the immediate future, there will be no food vans or buskers, we will not have our raffle, there will be fewer stalls and more space. In addition, to allow more space per person and speedier shopping – FOR THE TIME BEING, DOGS ARE PROHIBITED.
Customers are encouraged to leave children at home where possible, shop alone and come and go without stopping for a catch-up and chat – ie leave when you're done.
Whilst we realise social distancing rules have been relaxed to allow for catch-ups and gatherings of up to ten people, the Stirling Farmers Market is NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS!
This Sunday, please come shop quickly and leave.

Today is the anti-celebration of the 105th anniversary of Ballard's forcible annexation to the City of Seattle. We mourn the loss of our great Scandinavian city to the insatiable hunger of those devious early Seattelittes, who rumor has it put a dead horse in Ballard's drinking water supply to "convince" us that we needed their help. It might have been a bloodless coup, but we still mourn the loss of our independence. Please join me in donning black and raising a glass in memory of the Ballard that could have been…
Our FREE BALLARD cheer is tongue-in-cheek, but it inspired the world of the Deadglass Trilogy. This is the Ballard that might have been…if the original founders were really megalomaniac Norse dragon shifters. In my alternate Seattle, two enemy races clash in the reimagined founding of a city at war. And you can read about it in HEARTS OF FIRE, which is a Romeo-and-Juliet retelling of the Great Seattle Fire set in the Deadglass world, in less than a month!! The novella is a prequel to the Deadglass Trilogy, but it isn't necessary to read it before starting HEARTS OF DARKNESS. It will be released only in eBook on July 26th for the low, low price of $0.99.
(I can't link to it because, unfortunately, it isn't available for preorder yet.)
UPDATE! It's available for preorder now! Click here for Amazon kindle. Will it be available at other ebook retailers? I think so? I'll update you as I know more.

This week we're looking at pricing strategies and how the best revenue managers maximise room revenue.
These articles cover supply and demand, how competition affects rates and how psychological pricing tricks can increase conversion. Check them out!
1. Yield Management Strategies: The Right Hotel Room Pricing
Yield management can be defined as selling a product or service to the right customer, at the right time, and at the right price. Yield management strategies can be applied to virtually any type of business even a small independent hotel.
2. 5 Clever Pricing Strategies for Small Hotels
The right pricing strategy can help you increase your market share against other properties in the area (or prevent new competitors from entering the market), while the wrong pricing strategy can do just the opposite.
3. Hotel Supply & Demand: How to Maximise Room Revenue
Have new hotel openings in your area affected your room supply? Are you seeing a wash down on group business coming into the summer months? Whatever your situation, every hotel should understand how supply and demand impacts on their rate strategy.
4. Pricing Does Not Equal Revenue Management for Hotels
Whether you are managing basic transient rates and controlling for complex length of stay interactions, negotiating contracts, or making overbooking decisions, understanding inventory value and setting appropriate availability controls in conjunction with optimizing rates adds significant value to these decisions.
5. How Hotels Can Determine The Right Pricing Strategy
In this article they explore both traditional market segments, newer, more dynamic models, and how to develop the best pricing strategies.

Disrupt or be disrupted. Corporations in Asia are now more aware of this, and they're more eager to work with startups to harness new technology. Tech in Asia wants to help.
In partnership with KPMG Digital Village in Singapore, we're announcing at Tech in Asia Singapore 2017 the launch of the Corporate Acceleration Program (TIACAP), which help corporations to create value for their business by sourcing, adopting, and integrating new technology.
TIACAP assists corporates to solve real business challenges by fostering co-innovation between corporates and startups. With KPMG Digital Village, we will work closely with corporates to define and validate their problem statements using a design thinking approach.
We will then scout Tech in Asia's network of over 32,000 startups – Asia's largest – to find those who can address the problem statements. Selected startups will join the program to prototype solutions in collaboration with corporates, which could lead to full-scale commercialization.
Previously, KPMG Digital Village brought together an insurer and Singapore-based startup Sqreem, which uses big data to derive behavioral insights, to collaboratively develop ways to better understand the insurer's customers. This gave the insurer confidence to offer tailored products to different types of customers.
TIACAP is an extension of Tech in Asia's partnership with KPMG, which was first announced at Tech in Asia Singapore 2016. There, KPMG launched Digital Village, a collaborative ecosystem of innovators, investors, and corporates who come together to drive the adoption and integration of innovative solutions, with a focus on fintech, healthtech, medtech, logtech and more.
Corporations who are interested in TIACAP can visit this website.

from 2 March - 2 April 2016

curated with Andi Potamkin
'One of the most compelling contemporary artists of our times'
Channel 4 News
'Niemi's playful images show the character at war and at peace with herself' The Sunday Times Magazine
'Watch out for Anja Niemi' The Independent
'She is the omnipotent ruler of the world she creates' Aesthetica Magazine
'One of Europe's most talked-about young artists' LeCool
This is Anja Niemi's first solo show in USA, a collaboration between The Little Black Gallery London, Andi Potamkin and Bethanie Brady. Niemi is considered 'one of the most compelling modern artists working today' and 'one of Europe's most talked-about young artists'.
The exhibition Photographing In Costume features works from Niemi's last three critically acclaimed series: Darlene & Me, Starlets, and Do Not Disturb. Niemi always works alone. She functions as photographer, director and stylist as well as appearing as the subject in all of her images. With her purposeful mise-en-scenes, Niemi invites us to consider the construction of the female both in society and in its mirror image - film. The excessive femininity of her women, with their coiffed hair and pristine dresses, pose as many questions as statements. Is she vulnerable or powerful? Real or illusory?
In Do Not Disturb she uses the anonymous location of the hotel room. The rooms are pristine but its former inhabitants remain. We understand the illusion. Niemi´s multiple roles, comic and abject by turns play out to perfection in such a space.
The most recent series, Darlene and Me, continues the doubling theme, which featured in some of the earlier Starlet images. The relationships portrayed between the character and her other self in this Lynchian California desert are complex. A brief sequence of images with a covetable convertible suggest a body-in-the-boot murder, before it returns to familiar filmic freezeframe of two women heading towards certain freedom. But, wait, one of them is slumped back in her seat. Who could survive a confrontation with oneself?
Born in Norway in 1976, Anja Niemi studied at London College of Printing and Parsons School of Design in Paris and New York.
The Little Black Gallery is one of London's top contemporary photography galleries owned by socialite Tamara Beckwith and former celebrity & photographic agent Ghislain Pascal.
Andi Potamkin is an independent curator and founder of Le Mise, a private art and design advisory firm.

Texas in 2004 executed an innocent man for murder of his three children because they died in a fire that he was accussed of setting. It has been discovered that the fire was not an arson, so it is expected that Texas will have to eventually acknowledge they convicted and executed an innocent man as a reward for losing his three children in an accidental fire. This is why the death penalty should be abolished. It is barbaric in a civilized world.

DIY Using Pegboard to Organize Your Home and Workshop
I don't know how you feel but one of my biggest frustrations is when I have to search for tools and supplies when I am in the middle of a DIY project, or worse yet buy a tool or hardware only to discover I already owned one but it wasn't where I could find it, so I forgot I had it.
At our last house I installed pegboard along one wall in my garage and it worked well but every time I removed a tool the peg hanger also fell off. My solution was to figure out what tools I want to hang, label the spot it hung from and glue the peg hanger to the board. I haven't gotten that far in this house but it's on my list.
In this house I have the pegboard hung and added some buckets hung from hooks so I can at least locate screw drivers and wrenches without wasting a lot of time.
I came across this Better Homes and Gardens post here BHG on using pegboard and some of the ideas are really good, not just for tools using pegboard for everyday organizing.
Here are a few of my favorites
Ginger Snap has a tutorial on how to hang pegboard!
Hope you get some ideas from it too!

Clinical expertise; comprehensive dentistry services; dentist training and mentoring services and state-of-the-art technology – for all of these reasons, the Devon Dental Centre of Excellence was every inch a centre of excellence before our involvement. It's just that the world was yet to realise it (and it was our job to ensure their branding and marketing drove this home).
Our team started with the centre's flourishing status as a leading south west referral centre spanning the full range of general and specialist treatments – around which we developed a new brand identity.
Next up, we created a marketing plan to attract both new patients and referring dentists – a plan that later served as a springboard to a long line-up of successful external marketing and a B2B campaign. Our marketing spanned PR, advertorials, adverts, direct mail, door drops, community publications and patient communications.
We also gave their multi-award-winning achievements the attention they deserved. They've scooped the team award two years in the running (2013 and 2014) at the Dental Awards, and were also a finalist at the Dentistry Awards 2013. A final impressive accolade is the principal's winning of 'National Dentist of the Year 2015'.
"I have worked with Smile Marketing for over 7 years as regards marketing all of my practices and the results have been that each of my practices' turnover has increased by over 10% each year"

In 1959 Black joined a group of musicians which became Bill Black's Combo. The lineup was Black (bass), Joe Lewis Hall (piano),Reggie Young (guitar), Martin Wills (saxophone), and Jerry Arnold (drums).
There were several personnel changes. While Young was in the army, his position was filled by Hank Hankins, Chips Moman and Tommy Cogbill. Ace Cannon replaced Wills on sax. Carl McVoy replaced Hall in the studio, while Bobby Emmons replaced him on tour.

Bill Black had two distinct phases of his career in which he made a notable mark on early rock & roll music: first as the rockabilly bass player for Elvis Presley and then as a bandleader of Bill Black's Combo, which scored numerous instrumental hits in the early '60s.
Such is the irony of the world that his most significant contributions, as a rockabilly pioneer in the trio that Elvis Presley fronted at the beginning of his career, brought him much less commercial reward ($$$) than the far less artistic hit records under his own name.
Black first recorded for Sun Records in early 1954 as a member of a country band, "Doug Poindexter and the Starlite Wranglers", who also included guitarist Scotty Moore. That group issued just one single for Sun, but that was enough to make the talents of Black and Moore known to Sun head Sam Phillips, who put the pair together with Elvis Presley.
Under the billing of "Elvis Presley, Scotty, and Bill", they put out five records on Sun in 1954 and 1955, which are usually acknowledged as some of the finest rockabilly records ever done and Presley at his most youthfully uninhibited. Black was an important part of the early Presley sound with his slap stand-up bass and ebullient onstage manner.
Black and Moore continued to work with Presley (later being billed as "Elvis Presley and the Blue Moon Boys") until 1958, leaving his band in large part due to disputes over financial terms. Black and Moore had started out receiving one-quarter of the royalties at the outset of Presley's career, but after Presley had rocketed to stardom with RCA starting in 1956, they were on a mere 200 dollars/week wage.
Although Moore would eventually work with Presley again, Black never did, joining a Memphis group that evolved into "Bill Black's Combo" in 1959. Their instrumental "Smokie," released late that year, made the Top Ten.
Bill Black's Combo stuck to the formula of "Smokie" for many of their subsequent singles: a basic shuffle beat, simple bluesy R&B riffs, and some rinky-dink organ and smoky saxophone lines on top. They weren't too imaginative, but they were quite successful, placing eight singles in the Top 40 between 1959 and 1962, including "White Silver Sands," "Josephine," "Don't Be Cruel," "Blue Tango," and "Hearts of Stone."
Their sales were greatly boosted by the suitability of their instrumental rock for background music at bars, clubs, and diners, with many of their discs placed in jukeboxes. They were still charting in the Top 100 as late as 1964, the year they also toured with the Beatles during the British stars' first nationwide American tour.
Black, sadly, developed a brain tumor and died in 1965, shortly before his 40th birthday and before rock historians had a chance to allow him to tell his side of the Elvis Presley story.

I must be the Springtime Scrooge because I'm just not feeling it. I guess when your kids grow up the bunny stuff loses its fun.
Besides not being into the Easter Bunny thing this year - I am also NOT into pastel colors. I rarely do purple and if I do pink it is probably with brown or black. Except for baby themes, I don't craft with pastel colors. I don't wear them. I don't decorate my house with them. Not my thing.
But in honor of Easter, I did make a bunny for you - please consider this an Ellenized Easter Bunny because it is the only bunny I'm "into" right now.
Ears - large ovals
Pink of ears - full heart trimmed
Eyes - small ovals (gray and white), word window
Cheeks - wide ovals
Chin - 1 inch circle
Mouth - 1/2 wide oval - trimmed to narrow on each side
teeth - scrap rectangle
above teeth - curly label hole punched with 3/4 inch circle (see yesterdays lips for photo)
Nose - tip of small oval
Drew two back lines above his nose and one line on his teeth.
You can get almost the same base from punches - see the photo below. Most of the "seams" and all the of the "missing parts" will be covered by other punches.
I was showing Kiddo this project and she made an addition. (I think she loves the bunny!)

Solidified: Blockchain boom makes smart contract security key
The huge boost of blockchain technology across many industries has made smart contract security a business-critical requirement. As value equaling billions of Euros is being stored in smart contracts, the threat of infiltration from hackers and fraudsters casts a shadow over the nascent technology. Since smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain are immutable and unsupervised after their release, their code has to be bug-free from the beginning.
innogy New Ventures LLC invests in Solidified
We are happy to announce that we invested in Solidified, a full-audit service for smart contract code. Solidified is a transparent auditing platform, which operates as a marketplace for smart contract audits with independent blockchain experts as well as quality certification. The platform offers access to a large pool of highly qualified smart contract auditors, multi-expert feedback and independent assessment of the quality of their work. Solidified brings standardised metrics for the Ethereum community as a whole, thereby significantly raising the quality-assurance bar that should lead to increased confidence in the adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem.
We are happy to announce the closing of a Seed round with innogy New Ventures. This validates our track record of delivering bulletproof audits and opens the road for an exciting new initiative – a security assurance system powered by Bug Prediction Markets.
Eduard Kotysh, Founder and CEO at Solidified
We describe the future energy world as a system of energy, mobility and human-machine-interaction and intelligent buildings. Our investment in Solidified fully supports our 'Machine Economy' strategy according to which in the near future a machine will be able to pay its assembly, maintenance and energy autonomously in exchange for other digital commodities such as compute power, data, bandwidth ect. In such a world, a bug free infrastructure is crucial to govern the right decisions, for example buy or sell contracts. With our strategic investment in Solidified, we identified another building block that fulfills the basic need for safety and fully audited smart contracts.
Kerstin Eichmann, Head of 'Machine Economy' of the innogy Innovation Hub
Solidified is introducing a SOLID token, which will power a new Bug Prediction Market
Rather than serving as a speculative asset, the SOLID token will serve as a means of collateralized reputation for auditors and bug hunters, as well as a medium of payment for the services they render. Generally, these actors would stake SOLID tokens when making security assurances, lose the tokens when such assurances are incorrect, and gain tokens when they help secure contracts through audits and bug reports.
Developers, bug hunters and contributors to the Ethereum ecosystem will be prioritized. For the first month, there will be a 20% discount on the SOLID token. Targeting the sale towards the technical experts promotes a functional use case and provides a strong foundation for the economics of the system.
Solidified is the premier smart contract audit platform in the crypto space. With this strategic investment, we are proud to be a partner of Solidified in its quest to improve the quality and transparency of the Ethereum ecosystem.

The trident was the main weapon of Mukuro Rokudo and Chrome Dokuro.
The trident was used for hand-to-hand combat and to aid them in their illusions. It can tear into others' illusions with its three spikes. During the Kokuyo Arc, Mukuro used his Trident to create a "pact" between whomever he wished to use his Second Realm on when he was under the influence of the Possession Bullet, but the blades on that one broke and was replaced. However, in the Future during the battle with Glo Xinia, he remembers the moment that Mukuro stabbed his Rain Owl, letting him possess it, which means that he had that replaced the blade.
Chrome uses Mukuro's trident as well. The trident does the same thing that Mukuro's does and can fit into a small bag by retracting the poles of the trident and the handle. Since Chrome met Mukuro and his illusions are keeping her alive, they are bound together by their tridents. If hers or Mukuro's trident breaks, Chrome's illusionary organs would fail; however, the trident can be reconstructed.

Ever feel like Stretch Armstrong – pulled in too many directions?
If you're like most sales, e-commerce, and marketing teams, you face an overwhelming daily task list that leaves too little time for the fun stuff – analyzing results, optimizing performance, and strategizing your next big sale or campaign.
We're lucky to have more opportunities than ever to engage our omni channel customers. Accenture reported that multi-channel customers (visiting a combination of our website, social networks, sales reps, and in-store) are 15% more profitable than digital-only customers and 25% more profitable than human-only experiences. The opportunity is huge, but means we're creating more campaigns, analyzing more data, and ultimately, juggling more balls.
Sales teams also struggle with carving out time for high value tasks. A Hubspot survey found salespeople spend just one-third of their day actually talking to prospects. They spend 21% of their day writing emails, 17% entering data, another 17% prospecting and researching leads, 12% going to internal meetings, and 12% scheduling calls.
If you're stuck on the execution hamster wheel, wishing there were more hours in the day, it's time to adopt tools that automate manual tasks and make your teams more efficient. Today, we're highlighting four areas technology delegates tedious day-to-day tasks, opening extra time and headspace to focus on the aspects of your business you enjoy – merchandising, business strategy, and strengthening your brand and customer relationships.
Business Intelligence
When your marketing or selling to an omni channel customer, cutting through the noise to reveal important data triggers, audience segments, or behaviors is hard. When you're manually pulling and combining reports from different tools and systems, your reports become the burden eating up hours of your day, instead of the window into valuable, strategic insights.
A Business Intelligence (BI) tool can transform hours of manual reporting into valuable insights in minutes. BI tools, like Domo, instantaneously combines data from different sources and displays it in easy-to-digest visualizations. You're no longer spending all your time compiling your report, you're learning from it.
Take a peek at our sample BI dashboard to see how basics are revealed at-a-glance:
Once the data is set up, the dashboards provide a single, "universal truth" for your business, making you more efficient and proactive. (See how Ferguson Enterprises simplified their reporting process to minutes.)
Marketing Automation
You want every email to your customers to be personal, relevant, and compelling. You want every touch to demonstrate you value their relationship and understand their unique interests and place in the sales lifecycle.
It isn't feasible to manually send a personal email to every customer after every interaction, but you can consistently touch your customers with relevant messaging and compelling offers using marketing automation. Some of our favorite automated emails include abandoned cart (of course!), browse or search abandonment, inventory close out, and welcome emails.
Marketing automation brings the aspirational task of being everything to everyone within reach. With marketing automation, you achieve consistent customer engagement, repeatable sales, and recaptured revenue, without adding to your daily workload. (Want to streamline your email process even more? Check out our responsive email template tool Code Perfect.)
Product Data
If you're in e-commerce, product data runs your world. Yet, many marketing and e-com teams still manage product data and images using USB drives and spreadsheets. Then, you have the formatting and data issues of managing different product specs for your website, digital catalogs, customer POS systems, and marketplaces, like Amazon. Even making a simple change becomes time intensive and error prone when you have hundreds or thousands of products and multiple channels to manage.
Automate your product data management process using a simple product information management (PIM) system, like Whereoware's Product FastLane. With a PIM system, you can update product data and imagery from a simple dashboard, and schedule automated exports to share updates with your website, catalogs, and marketplaces. Get a PIM system and get out of spreadsheet hell.
Sales Automation
Like you, your sales reps struggle to balance a full plate of day-to-day tasks with the fun stuff – selling!
A smart mobile sales application, like Whereoware's Pharos Sales App, helps B2B sales reps automate necessary, but mindless tasks. The rep gains easy access to customer profiles, past orders, inventory, and activity. Additionally, they automate follow up. No longer does the rep waste time entering data and setting reminders, but instead, they're offering valuable consultation and strategy.
B2B business rules built into the application improve logistics, like shipment address verification, order minimums, real-time inventory, order entry, and customer service. These automated efficiencies mean less calls to customer service, more transparent operations, and fewer frustrated customers.
Automation Sets You Free
Take back your day! Affordable technology exists to help busy sales, marketing, and e-commerce teams do more with less, and take a "set it and forget it" approach to the manual tasks eating away your day.
See how the Pharos Product Suite empowers sales, marketing, and e-commerce teams to be more efficient and effective, while increasing sales.

Duration: 5 Nights/6 Days
Places: Cochin → Kumarokom → Alleppey → Varkala → Kovalam
Day 1: Cochin
Cochin (Kochi) has one of the finest natural harbours in India around which is based an ancient history of maritime trade. The cosmopolitan city is fascinating in many ways – the beautiful sea front with Chinese fishing nets and stalls selling seafood; the traditional Fort Kochi area with its mix of Dutch, British, Muslim and Portuguese architecture; and the older city of Ernakulam steeped in Malayali culture. Built around a saltwater lagoon, the bustling seaport city on the southwest coast of India is actually a cluster of islands and peninsulas.
Day 2: Kumarakom
The quaint town is a cluster of little islands, located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake in the Kuttanad region of Kerala. Renowned for its natural beauty, Kumarakom is an ideal base to experience the famous Kerala backwaters, replete with meandering lagoons, coconut trees, endless rows of paddy fields interspersed by waterways and canals. Just 16 Km from Kottayam, Kumarakom is also home to a bird sanctuary.
Day 3: Alleppey
Alleppey (Alapuzzha), coined 'Venice of the East' is a mosaic of mirror-still lagoons, picture book lakes, palm fringed canals and a long sandy beach – all brimming with glimpses of daily life in the Kerala country side.
The town is famous for its boat races, houseboats, coir products, fish and lakes. Alleppey remains prominent on the tourist attractions of Kerela as one of the major centers for backwater cruises.
Day 4: Varkala
Varkala has also grown into a popular seaside resort over the years. It has a beautiful beach facing the Arabian Sea, but what is more unique are the steep cliffs rising from the beach with unique geological formations and natural springs, known as the Varkala Formation. The mineral rich waters are used for spa treatments and this small unexplored destination has been attracting many tourists, including foreigners, for a mix of beach relaxation and natural therapies.
Day 5: Kovalam
Once a fishing village and a favourite hippy haunt, Kovalam has transformed itself into a top beach destination of Kerala. It is 16 Km from Trivandrum and draws thousands of tourists from all over India and the world. Kovalam is spread with coconut trees and is a big draw for beach lovers, as it offers a variety of water sports, great seafood and Ayurvedic massages and treatments.
Day 6: Trivandrum
Transfer to Trivandrum and proceed to onward destination.

Do you have a favorite Fall piece?
Hats? Booties? Scarves?
Our top favorite piece to wear and style are jackets! A perfect layering piece and an easy way to add interest to your look.
Layer over dresses, sweaters, or even over basic tees like we did here.
Evereve has one of the best jacket collections. We styled 2 of our favorites here and then scroll down to see more jackets/blazers we are loving.
You really can't beat a cozy sherpa jacket. This one will work all Fall/Winter. And this olive green color is a perfect neutral to go with everything.
As mentioned above, one of the easiest ways to style a fun jacket is to throw it over your everyday tees. Voila! Instant chic!
My absolute favorite print is leopard so there was no way I could pass this up! I went with the x-small. Such a fun statement piece to wear!

Let's say that you have a product (application, software, games, food, etc) and you want that product to be well-known by media, what will you do? In the internet era, the fastest and the cheapest way to do marketing is via online marketting or social media marketing. Correct way in online marketing now play a vital role to advertise the products. But, how?
Well, this blog, TopRank, is a web which talk how to manage the online media marketing, so that the business not failing (who wants the business failing, anyway?). To be frank, this web handled by a digital marketing agency, so the suggestion here should not be taken lightly.
Point of Interest
Alright, there are two articles which has piqued my interest:
- Social Media Marketing talks about the failure of using social media when you can't meet the user expectation. Supposed you have a FB product fanpage or twitter, a lot of people will post their insight and their complain directly. Yep, complain, that's right buddy, complain. Social media means direct access, anytime, so should you respond it late, it'll be bad. Don't forget about the content. One page might be managed by several people, each with their own different degree of understanding to the product. Keep the information posted coherent, not contradictive.
- Search-engine optimization vs Content Marketing talks about two pivotal role in marketing the product, SEO in term of search engine visibility while content marketing in improving buying cycle. The problem arises here is when you have limited resource & time, you can only choose one. This article shows that each need require different approach. If you want to expose more, choose SEO. If you want to improve the customer relationship, choose content marketing.
The Verdict
Well, many good articles posted in here. However, I am not the type which loves to do marketing (I'm an engineer, what I do is creating). But I can say for sure that this web can give a lot of insight to do better online marketing. The webdesign somehow too colorful, but it's okay.

Continue with the old regime and pay tax at the existing rates, or
Move to the new tax regime. It contains seven slabs with lower tax rates up to the taxable income of ₹15,00,000 but the following deductions from gross income cannot be availed of -
- House Rent Allowance (HRA)
- Standard Deduction
- Exemption u/s 80C
- Exemption u/s 80D
- Tax rebate u/s 87A
- Deduction on Home Loan interest
- Additional deduction on Home Loan interest on affordable houses u/s 80EEA
- Deduction on Auto Loan interest for purchase of electric vehicle u/s 80EEB
An individual (not a senior citizen) earns a salary of ₹8,00,000. He does not earn any other income. He does not make investments in tax-saving instruments.
In the example below, the individual earns ₹ 16,00,000.
But if his total deductions are 3,00,000, then the tax payable under the old regime would be ₹ 2,10,600 which is the same as the tax under the new regime. On the other hand, if the deductions and exemptions availed are only ₹ 2,50,000, then the tax under the old regime would be ₹ 2,26,200 which is higher than the tax as per the new regime. But then the individual is foregoing investments and the returns on them. This negates the cash gains made.
Some points to remember while filing taxes this year -
- The new regime provides for concessional tax rates compared to tax rates in the old regime. Fewer exemptions and deductions means lesser documentation while filing taxes. Some people may not find the investments that allow for deductions as the most optimum. Others may not need to avail of the exemptions. The new tax regime gives flexibility in these cases.
- On the other hand, the old regime inculcates a savings culture. People can invest in products that allow for building wealth and earning returns on investments. With lower taxes and fewer mandatory investments, people will have more money in their hands under the new tax regime. This can lead to unnecessary spending.

World-Renowned Award-Winning Africa Umoja Coming to Houston
International Arts Foundation of New Orleans presents the Africa Umoja USA Tour
Style Magazine Newswire | 9/11/2018, 9:19 a.m.
The Spirit of Togetherness is a two-hour explosion of song and dance performed for Kings, Presidents and members of the public in over 50 countries worldwide.
The dates are Friday, September 14th – Saturday, September 15th, Sep 14, 2018 at 8:00pm, Sep 15, 2018 at 2:00pm, and Sep 15, 2018, at 8:00pm at The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby St, Houston, TX 77002.
Presented by the International Arts Foundation of New Orleans, the Africa Umoja USA Tour features over two months of shows that will display South Africa's history and cultural traditions, the passion and energy of its people, including tribal dances that go back hundreds of years, and a special tribute to Mandela. Uniting a massive ensemble of dancers, singers, and performers from South Africa, Africa Umoja was created by Todd Twala and Thembi Nyandeni with their dream of helping underprivileged youth in South Africa and keeping their country's traditions alive.
