Today, Friday, 16th August, is our National Poetry Day. We are encouraged to write poems, read poems and spend our day enjoying and promoting poetry. Writing poetry is difficult for me. And I find poetry difficult to read and understand, as well.
Nevertheless, I am warming to poetry thanks to reading poetry blogs and a wonderful book which I read every day called "Poem for the Day" ,edited by Nicholas Albery. Today's poem is from "Thoughts in a Garden" by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678). Here is the beginning of the excerpt:
I walked back down the pathway,
The evening light lay gently on the orchard;
Then I saw a redness on the peach boughs,
And bulb-spears pushing upwards,
And heard the old blackbird whistle
'Get ready. Get ready. Get ready.
Quick. Quick. Spring.'
I cannot find words to equal either poet but, if I take a very broad interpretation of the origins of the word poem, that is something composed or created, I can pretend that these photos of my magnolia tree are a poem…. a sweetly scented, floral, poetical arrangement from my garden to honour National Poetry Day.
For those of you who would like to know more about Ursula Bethell and her poetry follow these links
http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/authors/bethell/ and http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Literature/People/B/Bethell_Mary_Ursula/.
Her poetry is of my land, my knowing, and it speaks to me more easily than Marvell's words do. Yet, like, me she was not born here, and other places pull on her heartstrings. Her garden gives her a sense of belonging but does not dispel the longing for other times and places.

Farukkhabad: In a shameful rerun of last month's Gorakhpur tragedy that claimed 63 lives, 49 children died in a government hospital in Farukkhabad, allegedly due to shortage of oxygen.
The deaths were reported over a period of one month at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Farrukhabad. While the District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar ordered a probe into the incident, according to latest reports, he has been transferred by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Apart from registering an FIR against the Chief Medical officer and Chief Medical Superintendent for negligence, the two have also been transferred by the government.
A press note from the government said that a high-level team from the government level would look into the factual and technical aspect of the incident to ascertain the reason behind the deaths of the children.
The 49 deaths took place over a month's time between July 21 and August 20 in the Sick Newborn Care Unit of the hospital. In the investigation, it was revealed that the reason behind the deaths was 'Perinatal Asphyxia' which means lack of oxygen.
It has also been said in the FIR that the doctors should have the knowledge that an absence of adequate oxygen supply can result in deaths and that there is a clear negligence on their part.
Dayanand Mishra, SP Farrukhabad said, "A case has been registered against the CMO, CMS and some other doctors. Further action will be taken as the investigation proceeds."
This comes just days after the Gorakhpur tragedy rattled Uttar Pradesh government with allegations of medical negligence. It was alleged that the hospital was running short of oxygen and neither the authorities nor the government did anything to prevent the deaths.
The Gorakhpur hospital authorities, along with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had claimed that the children at the BRD Medical College and Hospital had claimed that the deaths were due to Japanese Encephalitis and other ailments.
However, according to reports, the oxygen supplier at BRD Hospital had repeatedly raised the issue of pending dues for a period of six months. They had even warned the hospital authorities of snapping the supply if the dues are not cleared, which they did on August 7, soon after which the ailing children started dying one after the other.

|Ant 2.0
|Sun, 08 Feb 2004 20:39:37 GMT
I know Ant2.0-the-rewrite is essentially dead (and essentially obsolete through evolution in the codebase), but I still think we ought to consider using the name as and when the time is appropriate. If we add enough interesting stuff to 1.7, it could be the time. One thing that was voted on (positively, I recall), way way back in time, was for Ant2.0 to fail on undefined properties. Having just struggled with a build file refactor that introduced the problem, a problem I only dealt with by resorting to IntelliJ's property-aware ant file editor, I am starting to think the fail-on-undefined property mechanism is good. But at the same time, those echo statements with undefined properties are ubiquitous, and they need to stay in. And we need the option of turning strict property evaluation off or on. My preferred way to do this would be to 1. either or both of a new command line option, a new property to set. to turn strict property evaluation on. The nice thing about these two is that they can be applied to existing files. The property set tactic would let you use build.properties to set the flag, and enable inline in projects that will still work in ant 1.6, but get complex w/ <ant> and <antcall> 2. in strict mode, any expansion of a unknown property into a string would throw a BuildException 3. But there would be a non-throwing expansion method for code that explicitly wanted to not fail on missing strings in their . 4. <echo>, <fail> and a few others would be modified to use the new non throwing expansion mechanism. The problem with this is that while <echo>${undefined}</echo> would work as intended, <echo message="${undefined}" /> would always throw an exception. The only fix there would be a new datatype NonvalidatingString() that would expand properties but not bail. Would that be enough? Would it work and be usable? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Executive Function Disorder
Does your child's difficulties in school lead to any of these?
- stress and anxiety
- trouble developing strategies
- difficulty caring out plans
- misplaced items
- disorganization
If so, they may be suffering from executive function disorder. If your child is having any of these difficulties, please call me today at 919-401-8261. I am an expert at developing therapies for this issue. Don't delay your child's progress.
It is time once again for children and parents to consider their hopes and concerns for the new school year. As parents and students prepare for this school year they may also be thinking about the student's performance during the last year and wonder how this year can be as or more productive. For those who do well in school, the coming year may lead to some concerns but overall they may feel positive about school. On the other hand, there are those students who think of school and only feel an overwhelming sensation of stress and anxiety.
There are several reasons a student may feel stress and anxiety in relation to school. There are pressures coming from themselves and others to do well. But what happens if you feel as much as you would like to do well, it just seems extremely difficult to accomplish.
Most individuals have heard of learning difficulties, ADD/ADHD, and other special needs that many children experience which make succeeding in school very difficult. As a professional working with children and their families I have learned over time that children do not go to school with the intention of failing. There is usually some struggle or another that a child faces which leads to difficulties at school.
Searching for answers regarding the challenges some children face at school led me to learn about something that is a very important factor in facilitating learning. That factor is called executive function. Executive function is a set of mental skills that help you get things done. It acts to manage various parts of the brain. Executive function allows us to analyze a situation, plan how to address the situation, organize the steps needed to carry out an activity, develop timelines for completing the activity, adjust the steps, if needed, to complete the activity, and complete the activity in a timely way. Having difficulties with executive function, executive function disorder, has to do more with the rate at which this part of the brain is maturing and not with a person's intelligence. In working with children and adults, I have found that learning about executive function in the brain allows a greater understanding for parents, teachers and other professionals of an individual's development.
Children and adults with executive function disorder may have problems organizing materials and setting schedules. They often misplace items, reports, and other school materials. They might have problems keeping their personal items and bedroom organized. Individuals with executive function disorder may also have difficulties in planning ahead, initiating tasks, problems with short term memory and managing their emotions.
You are able to help your child at home by working with them and assisting them in making checklists and setting time limits for tasks, including using timers. You can help them by getting them into the habit of using planners and calendars. Communicate concerns and expectations with your child and listen to their concerns. It is also important to find out more about the areas of difficulty you are noticing or your child has noticed in him/herself. Seek professional help from a professional who is knowledgeable about this area of development. Contact the school and work with the school to have a support plan for your child.
Studies have shown that executive functioning skills continue to develop through the teen years normally reaching maturity around the age of 25. Helping with executive function difficulties at a young age allows that child to learn strategies to decrease negative effects and help them reach their full potential. In addition, receiving support to manage difficulties with executive function at any age may lead to a more positive outcome in an individual's life.
You do not have to suffer or let your child suffer from executive function disorder. Begin on the path to a better future for you or your child by calling me today at 919-401-8261.

Last year TheatreNOW presented the stage adaptation of Clyde Edgerton's novel "Raney." This year they are offering Catherine Bush's adaptation of another of Edgerton's novels, "Walking Across Egypt."
Theatre-goers meet Mattie Rigsbee (Kitty Fitzgibbon), taker in of stray dogs, thwarted potential grandmother and possessor of the best corn bread recipe in the South. Mattie has decided she is "slowing down" and has her neighbors worried: She actually called the dog catcher to come pick up her latest stray. If she hadn't called Lamar Benfield (KenWin Halls), she wouldn't have gotten her rocking chair repaired and found herself visiting Lamar's nephew, Wesley (Kegan Dubar) in the juvenile detention—which, as far as her son Robert (Ron Hasson) and her neighbors Alora (Lynette O'Callaghan) and Finner (Jef Pollock), are concerned that would probably be for the best. They are very unnerved by this turn of events.
Finner—a Hostess Twinkie delivery driver concerned with defending his neighborhood (to a degree that includes crawling on his belly through tall grass with his night-vision binoculars and pistol)—is convinced he needs to rescue Mattie from a hostage situation. Pollock is having almost as much fun onstage attempting to secure the perimeter as the audience is watching his antics. Never shy about physical comedy, Pollock combines his joie de vivre with a sincere love for and need to protect the women in his life.
O'Callaghan is his perfect match in so many ways. She seems flighty and a bit of a busybody. But, like Finner, she genuinely loves Mattie and cares about her. When she delivers the bombshell of analysis for what is driving Finner's behavior, it isn't done with gravitas or great import. It is dropped into conversation with the same bubbly, loquacious speed as everything else receives. Perhaps the least understood character is not actually Wesley or Mattie—but Robert.
Mattie can't bring herself to understand why Robert is 53-years-old and still single (in spite of all her hopes for grandchildren). Poor Robert is watching himself get slowly displaced in his mother's life and home: Wesley slept in Robert's bed and has been given Robert's old shirt and tie to wear to church (one of Mattie's conditions for Wesley spending the night under her roof). I could almost feel Hasson's panic leaping out of his chest as the full understanding of what is happening dawns on him.
Lamar, who has lived a life of broken dreams and accepted the reality of what the world is, still finds kindness and sympathy for people around him—even people who are more prosperous and lucky than he. Halls gives us the younger, male version of Mattie: trying to bring a little goodness and light into the world. But the chips are stacked against him and audiences can see it on his face: dismay, despair, concern, worry. Yet, he gets up and tries to do what he can for those around him. Somehow, in the midst of everything, he is saddled with an angry, ungovernable, destructive teenager—just what every struggling young adult needs in their life, right?
Dubar surprised me; I expected him to be much more manipulative. But his emotions were pretty straightforward: anger at Lamar, desirous of all he saw in Mattie's life. Wesley clearly cannot plan beyond five minutes in front of him and Dubar doesn't undermine that with a larger plan brewing in his head. He is purely reactive and, like many teenagers, explosive. Mattie must be a saint; I couldn't put up with him for 10 minutes.
Opera House Theater Co. produced a stage version of "Walking Across Egypt" n the late 1980s. A film was released in 1999 with Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Mark Hamill. Clearly, there is something within the story that resonates with people. Something emanates from it for it to be revisited, as to remind us to somehow settle into ourselves. Partly, of course, there is Edgerton's wonderful sense of humor, which doesn't laugh at the South so much as laugh with his characters inhabiting it. In addition, Edgerton likes to show us people who—though they are flawed and sometimes tripped up by unforeseen and unpredictable parts of life—are still essentially good people, trying to make the world better.
I think the crux of its draw can best be summed up during a moment of complete naturalness and conviction as shown from Fitzgibbon. Toward the end of the show Mattie is arguing with her minister, trying to get him not to press charges against Wesley for theft. As her plans for Wesley begin to dawn on him, the minister declares that Mattie doesn't even know if this boy is a Christian—to which she responds it doesn't mean she can't be one. She doesn't scream it, and she doesn't slam her fist on the table. It's just the most obvious statement of how she goes through the world.
Fitzgibbon is simply wonderful in this role. Everyone onstage is fun to watch. Skip Maloney's sheriff, who has the strangest house call ever to make, and Tim Rizor's minister, grappling with a colorful but well-intentioned flock, are equally endearing. Fitzgibbon's Mattie is just what I came looking for: She's my grandma in every respect. I swear if I walked into Mattie's house right now she would offer me a piece of corn bread, and in every bite, I would taste the genuine love she pours into the world.
Speaking of food, Chef Denise Gordon clearly had a lot of fun with the menu for this show. Mattie is saving the world one slice of corn bread at a time. Of course, it figures into the menu, starting with corn bread crostini and Carolina caviar: a savory chilled veggie and black-eyed pea salad. For the main course, a sumptuous spaghetti squash layered with creamy cheese and tomato sauce—and of course a piece of corn bread on the side—hit all my tastebuds in the right manner. Dessert showcases another Southern staple: peanuts. Peanut butter cookies accompany a caramel peanut butter and chocolate mousse (for which I am still craving one more bite from … sigh).
I was pretty ill of both body and spirit last week, but between a hefty dose of prednisone and this show, I was back on my feet filled with nourishment and revitalized for life. There is so much love in the book, script and performances to remind me about the basic goodness and love in the world. Sometimes it comes in a simple package, like a slice of homemade corn bread and a smile.

This was my first trip to OR & I had a blast. Sunriver is set in beautiful central Oregon with a great view of Mt. Bachelor from the property. Tons of fun things to outside on the property or close by. Food & wine at Sunriver was delicious. The spa is exceptional. Besides the retreat activities, I just really wanted to relax, decompress & do whatever I wanted to do. And that's exactly what I did. I definitely recommend spending some time in Bend, which is about 10 miles north of Sunriver. It's a clean, beautiful town with lots great people and cool places to explore.

All the stats, quotes, notes, and more to get you ready for Ravens-Falcons, in our weekly Crab Bag!
LB C.J. Mosley on if anything has changed in the last three weeks with the Ravens:
"Nope, [we have the] same mentality. [It was a] great game [on Sunday vs. Oakland], but Atlanta is a great challenge, and that's just the way we're looking at it. Week-to-week, game-by-game, we just move on to the next opponent. We know what they bring: great quarterback, great receivers, great offense. We've got a lot of work to do."
The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec on QB Lamar Jackson:
"Obviously, Jackson's athleticism is off the charts, and it makes him so much fun to watch, but the quality that still impresses me most about him is just his presence. You could tell from the first day of rookie minicamp that teammates gravitated toward him and wanted to be around him. He has swagger, but there's also a humbleness about him that I think teammates, veterans and rookies alike, respect. As Marlon Humphrey noted, you would never know that Jackson won the Heisman Trophy with how he acts. Jackson doesn't appear overwhelmed by the moment at all, and he competes like heck."
OLB Matthew Judon on the Ravens' emotions after notching two-straight wins:
"We just have to keep winning. We just have to keep going out there and preparing for the team and keep executing and keep going out there and having fun. We can't ever get discouraged. It's a tough league to win in, and we've played some good teams. Those teams [we lost to] weren't slouches, and we're still playing good teams. We're just coming up with those plays that win games."
DT Brandon Williams on the Ravens' Week 13 mindset:
"We're really thankful for these [past] two wins, but when I tell you this, I really mean it: We're taking it just one game at a time. We have a lot of big games ahead of us, but we're ready for it and can't wait for Atlanta. … For us, it's really do or die. At the same time, we're taking it one game at a time, one play at a time, one practice at a time. We only worry about us, not about them."
G Marshal Yanda on the Ravens' run attack the past two weeks, totaling over 225 yards each game:
"Obviously, we want to win the game any way possible, but getting to run the football and getting those carries, yeah, it's awesome. We really enjoyed it. It's fun. I enjoyed running the football, but I understand, too, that we're going to have to pass a certain amount to get that done. But yeah, O-linemen love pounding the rock."
GETTING TO KNOW YOU ~ Q&A with Matt Skura
Who is the toughest opponent you've had to block?
"In college, it was definitely Aaron Donald from Pitt. He was really good for obvious reasons. When I came into the league, it's been guys like Cameron Heyward, Geno Atkins and Mike Daniels. You find out what real strength and power and speed is from those guys."
What's the most difficult part of defending the pass rush?
"With the defensive linemen, it's trying to react to where they're going to go. A lot of defenses do a really good job of disguising where guys are going to go before the snap. You try to have some anticipation of that. Also, just trying to defend guys who are really fast and powerful – that's tough."
You came into the league as an undrafted free agent. Do you think being undrafted has motivated you as you progress in your career?
"It's humbling. Every guy who is in the draft process feels like they deserve to be drafted. I was All-ACC, All-American and had started for two to three years. I knew I might not be a first-round pick, but maybe a later-day pick. I think when [you're not drafted], you have something to prove. You have to work twice as hard to get to the same level as the guys who were drafted. You have to work harder and do the little things even more right than everyone else. There are a lot of people that doubt you and ask, 'Why were you undrafted?' It makes you mentally tougher."
Along those lines, the Baltimore coaching staff constantly reiterates, "The more you can do." How has that mantra influenced you?
"At Duke, I only played center. I didn't do special teams, and I played guard for half a game my redshirt freshman year. It changed my mindset, because in my rookie year, I was on kickoff return for a little bit – so that was brand new to me. Last year, starting at right guard for 12 games, that was different but a huge learning experience for me. It really helped my career. I always tell guys who are in college and have questions that if you're a guard, you're going to have to play at both guard positions, and you're going to have to be able to snap. If you play tackle, you might have to play guard. If you're a bigger guard, you might have to kick out and play tackle. But it helps you be a better football player."
You and your wife welcomed a baby girl, Emerson, in the offseason. How has being a father changed you?
"It's definitely changed my whole life and perspective. Before [children], you're able to do everything on your terms. You have your own time to do whatever you want. Having a baby completely changes that. It's all about the baby, because you're taking care of another life. You're their lifeline. It's been an amazing experience so far. I wouldn't trade it for anything. If there's a bad day or a bad game, her smile when I come home makes everything better."
Have you gotten advice from any other dads on the team?
"A little bit. A lot of the guys have older kids. It's funny telling them about my teething daughter, and they laugh because it's like, 'Ah, I remember those days!' They're great to talk to about that kind of stuff, because they've been through it before."
What's one thing that fans don't know about you?
"I took a fly fishing class at Duke that was really cool. I love fly fishing. I learned how to tie the flies and all the different fish and insects. My dad is from Canada, so we would go ice fishing, and he would tell us about fly fishing, but always said it was too hard to try to teach us."
Is it true you gave yourself a black eye playing lacrosse once?
"It was in fifth grade, when I was really in to lacrosse. It was before school, and we had a concrete wall above our garage. I was just bouncing the ball. With lacrosse balls, usually the second bounce is when it goes a lot a faster. So it bounced – and I wasn't very good at lacrosse – and I just whiffed. It hit me right in the eye. I had a huge black eye right before school. I was so embarrassed."

In this anthology, the editors want to review the first 12 years of European emissions trading, clarify its significance today and finally look ahead. To this end, they addressed renowned experts from science, business, politics, associations and organizations and asked for their views on the European emissions trading system (EU ETS). In this book there are articles with a retrospective focus, some of which are very personal but extremely colourful, depicting the exciting phase of the beginning from the direct perspective of the players involved – like e.g. the present contribution of Joachim Hein (BDI). The articles in the book show broad agreement in the analysis and description of the deficits of the EU ETS. When it comes to the question of suitable solutions, however, the picture is more heterogeneous and quite controversial. At its core, the debate here centers on the need for minimum prices and/or more ambitious quantity control. In the context of an optimized quantity control, several authors point out in particular the necessity of a well coordinated instrument mix. This collection also contains references to the need to take a closer look at industry.
With all its contributions, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the establishment, impact and further development of the European Emissions Trading System from the various perspectives of those involved. Many articles take up the negotiations on the reform of the EU ETS for the fourth trading period and the emerging results. The authors have well anticipated the main features of this decision, which is now available. In addition, individual contributions have been updated after 22 November 2017. The book has thus escaped a possible "topicality trap", which reassures the editors very much.

Best Uses
Coo-Var W138 Acrylic Floor Paint is best used on Workshop Floors, although can be used internally and externally to provide fast drying decoration.
All surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from contaminants.Concrete, power floated, granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good "key" for the paint. This can be done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically, using Coo-Var Acid Etch. These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance. New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months.
Other surfaces have to be prepared and primed with the suitable primer for that substrate. Existing painted surfaces - Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate "key" is produced.

San Francisco Auxiliary Bishop, Seminary Rector, Dies Age 70
Bishop Robert Christian was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the San Francisco archdiocese in 2018, and was consecrated June 5 of that year.
SAN FRANCISCO - Bishop Robert Christian, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco and rector of St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, died in his sleep Thursday at his residence at the seminary.
"I was deeply saddened to learn this morning of his passing. The Archdiocese was greatly blessed to have his wisdom and leadership even if for so brief a time as auxiliary bishop and even briefer time as rector of the Seminary," Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco said July 11.
"We join with the Dominican community in praying for the repose of his soul and for peace and comfort for his wonderful family in their time of mourning."
Born in San Francisco in 1948, Christian graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in literature in 1970.
He entered the Dominican novitiate in Oakland the same year, studying at Saint Albert College and the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology.
He made his solemn vows in 1974 and began attending courses at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas in Rome. He was ordained a Dominican priest in 1976, and began his teaching career at Dominican College in San Rafael.
After later receiving his doctorate in theology from the Angelicum, Christian began what would be a long teaching career at the university, lasting from 1985-1997.
In California, he served as vicar and administrator of the Western Dominican Province, university professor at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, and as a member of the Clergy Education Board for the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
Christian then held the role of deputy dean of the Angelicum from 1999-2014. After a sabbatical, he became master of students for the Western Dominican Province at St. Albert Priory in 2015.
He was a peritus at the Synod of Bishops on Priestly Formation in 1990, and was a consultor to the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity and a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission.
Christian was appointed an auxiliary bishop of the San Francisco archdiocese in 2018, and was consecrated June 5 of that year.
He was appointed rector of St. Patrick's Seminary Jan. 14.
A visitation and vigil will be held for Christian July 22 at St. Dominic parish in San Francisco, and his funeral Mass will be said the following day at the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption.
His body will be buried at St. Dominic Cemetery in Benicia, about 60 miles southwest of Sacramento, July 24.
The Western Dominican Province said that "Bishop Christian has tirelessly served the Church and faithful for nearly 50 years. We are deeply saddened to hear of his death and entrust his soul to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. We ask for your prayers for the repose of his soul, as well as for his grieving family, friends and Dominican brothers around the world."

Bird Poo Mimic & Privet Hawk Moth
Privet Hawk Moth - Gedling 19th June 2013
My Year 10 lads did me proud once more, last week they put me onto a Puss Moth in the school grounds, this week even more excitement with a Privet Hawk Moth on my lab window. I get one of these each year hanging around but there's little privet or lilac about.
Platyrhinus resinosus
- East Bridgford Notts 19th June 2013
Went for a walk along the Trent again this evening. Not alot about, but I did find a nice beetle,
this beetle is considered to be uncommon, but along the Trent they are pretty common. It's also thought to resemble a bit of bird faeces. White at both ends with a grey black rippling onthe body. It's not to bothered about hiding itself either and can quite often be found just sitting around on fallen ash Logs. The larvae are thought to feed on
Daldinia concentrica
, better known as the black fungus "King Alfreds Cakes" which is to be found on Ash. If you pick them up they without fail give you a slow firm nip.

Over the past four to five years, the company has grown steadily, especially on the pet side of the business with sales increasingly rising among general and big box retailers as well as distributors worldwide. As a result, the fabricator decided to accommodate this ongoing growth and invest in its future by transitioning to the new Epicor enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, and is now actively working to update the system to the next level.
Epicor - the ideal ERP partner
"We really didn't look beyond Epicor for our needs since we knew they were such a good fit," says Chip Rolfsen, ERP administrator, Mid-West Metal Products. "We made the move to Epicor ERP based on the desire to retrieve and review more information company wide through dashboards and reports. Our new goal is to leverage the technology platform to allow us to provide a better way of doing business."
Another objective was the establishment of metrics and benchmarks that could not be produced with the previous system. This included a wider variety of sales information and periodic volume reports providing greater sales, historic, and statistical details related to the company's line of pet products and manufacturing and production capabilities.
Facilitating operations company wide
"Since going online with the Epicor ERP system in April 2014, we've identified several production inefficiencies, which enabled us to reduce labor costs by 20 percent, while increasing sales by 30 percent," explains Rolfsen. "This was achieved through the ability to slice and dice information and gain better insights into who is doing what and when. The solution revealed product lines that just weren't profitable in addition to items that not only sold well, but increased the bottom line."
"We make heavy use of the advanced materials module for automation of our shipping, processing, packing, and picking activities. In addition, general ledger reporting functions are more easily customized."
Mid-West Metal Products is in the process of creating a web store to integrate with the existing portal for their distributors and customers. This would offer a more streamlined alternative for those customers currently submitting orders using fax, phone, or e-mail.
Partners in growth
"The support from Epicor has really improved over the last two years," adds Rolfsen. "We've really counted on their conversion team to get us to the next growth stage. I would certainly recommend Epicor to any company considering the implementation of an ERP system. They have not only been customer-focused, but also actively worked with us to ease the transition to our new programs and maximize the enhanced benefits."

Consciously or not, attorneys hold informal expectations of the experts they work with; these expectations concern both the expert witness' professional approach and personality. Although informal expectations are not included in retainer agreements, they can significantly impact both the quality of the relationship attorneys develop with their experts as well as the outcome of the case.
Neuropsychologist and expert witness Dr. Glenn Hammel offers the following five expectations, which fall outside of an expert witness' standard responsibilities, but are critical to helping you decide if this is a person you can and should work with and who will be an asset to your case:
- Expect an Expert to Be an Expert, Not an Attorney. As an attorney, you are an advocate whose goal is to win; the expert's job, on the other hand, is to arrive at an objective opinion—regardless of the consequences it may have on your case. An expert should not embrace your agenda; when experts lose sight of the professional boundaries that separate them from attorneys, they become less effective and may jeopardize the case outcome. Explicitly state, from the outset, that you seek an unprejudiced, unvarnished opinion. Assure your experts that they will not risk your continuing professional relationship if they reach conclusions different from the ones you have been advocating.
- Expect an Expert to Be Able To Recognize His or Her Own Weaknesses. Even the most prestigious expert has deficits of knowledge, skill, or personality, which, if unacknowledged, can create blind spots that lead to vulnerable testimony. The expert's own failure to temper confidence with recognition of her weaknesses may do more damage to her testimony than the cross-examination itself. In evaluating an expert, watch for signs of genuine humility and be very sensitive to arrogance, which can imply an unwillingness to learn.
- Expect an Expert to Educate You. Concerning their own testimony, experts should offer constructive tips about how that testimony may be vulnerable. And they should suggest ways that you can go about reclarifying opinions if their meaning gets lost in the courtroom fog. Experts should also educate you about possible ethical concerns or conflicts in their own background or their participation in the case that may diminish their effectiveness.
- Expect an Expert to Be a Good Listener. The ability to listen is vitally important — you don't want an expert who will make a quick assumption about what you—or opposing counsel—is asking. Further, good listening projects a positive image in the courtroom; an expert observed listening demonstrates deliberative objectivity.
- Expect an Expert to Bring a Sober Passion to His or Her Work. Expect an expert to perform her role with a sense of grounded enthusiasm and vitality. For an expert to withstand the stressful nature of litigation, an element of passion is critical; it provides her with a focused emotional vitality and reserves of strength. If an expert brings excitement to the experience, be aware of possible risks: you may have to caution her that a passionate approach to forensic work should be subtle, not displayed in hyperbolic theatrics or loss of objectivity. If, on the other hand, you are dealing with an expert for whom professional passion does not come as naturally, you must cultivate an adaptive quality of passion. Try, for example, telling the expert the general or specific importance of the case you are working on.
Because they can influence the progress and outcome of your case, it is essential to acknowledge and critically examine your own informal expectations before hiring an expert.
On locating and retaining the best expert, check out CEB's California Expert Witness Guide, chap 7 (2d ed Cal CEB 1991).

So you've found a house you love. Great backyard, gleaming hardwood, and the kitchen of your dreams. But what about the furnace? The wiring? Leaks in the basement? Before you buy, have the home inspected; no matter how experienced you are as a homeowner, it's the best way to make sure you really know what you're getting into.
A home inspection will give you the information you need to make an informed decision. The inspector will determine the condition of the house you're thinking about buying, and let you know if there are any problems. (And the great thing is, the inspector doesn't care if you buy the house or not, so you can be sure he or she is being objective, even if you're not.) If you have to make an offer before having a home inspection, make it conditional on a satisfactory inspection.
If there are any problems, you have three options:
1. Walk away.
2. Use the results to negotiate a better price.
3. Give the seller a chance to fix the problem.
The inspector meets you at the home you're thinking of buying, and takes about 3-4 hours to carefully inspect the entire house for structural, mechanical or other issues. He or she examines everything from the roof to the foundation and everything in between, including heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, insulation, roof, windows and doors, walls, ceilings, attic and basement. You can accompany the inspector as he or she goes through the home – it's a good way to get to know the home quickly, and will give you a head-start in your home care "learning curve."
The inspector then prepares an inspection report that outlines problems (breaking them down into major repairs that need to be done right away and areas that will need attention in the future, with accurate cost estimates for each), highlights good points, and gives you an idea what kind of maintenance you'll need to do to keep the place in good shape. Make sure you ask for a detailed report that's written in a narrative style. Never accept a verbal report or one that's just a checklist.
Most inspections cost between $250 and $500. Think of it this way: a few hundred bucks could save you thousands in home repairs. It's a pretty small price to pay for significant peace of mind.
Look for a reputable, qualified company that has been in business for a while, can provide references from previous customers, is fully insured and offers guaranteed inspections. Inspectors should be licensed in building-related fields such as contracting, architecture or structural engineering. Your REALTOR® can recommend a reputable, objective inspector at your request, or you can find one by asking friends or by looking in the phone book.
When you've fallen in love with a house, it's hard to see any faults on your own. Make sure the decision is a good one, and get it inspected so you can be sure you stay in love – for years to come.

We're at that time of year when people think about their summer getaways. While a cottage can provide a retreat, it can also raise issues that don't apply within city limits.
For example, what is your water source and sanitation infrastructure? What form of heating does your dream property use? Cottages often present costs and concerns that go well beyond where to buy seasoned firewood for your wood stove.
When scouting out a cottage, it's best to hire a real-estate representative who has experience in that part of the market and understands its unique characteristics. It's also a good idea to find someone who has knowledge about the area where you want to buy.
In addition, I strongly recommend a professional home inspection from an individual with knowledge of recreational properties. They'll be able to identify underlying issues with the cottage's major systems, including heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical.
Also, consider the two big-ticket systems you don't usually have to worry about in the city: the water source and the septic system. Ask for a water quality test. It's also a good idea to hire a water inspector to ensure you'll have sufficient water for your use and that the system installation meets provincial standards.
The health of a septic system is harder to determine. Your agent can ask for its service records, or find the records at the local health unit. It's also important to remember that septic systems are not typically included in a regular home inspection. You may need a specialized inspector to ensure the system is functioning properly and that it has been installed in compliance with provincial standards.
Access and easements are other matters that your real-estate rep should look into. If you don't have year-round access directly by a municipal road, how do you get to your property in the winter? Do you have to go through a neighbour's property? If so, is there a formal agreement in place? Informal agreements may not be extended to you as a new owner.
Also consider beach or water access. Do you have direct access, or do you have access rights through a nearby property? How formal and secure are those rights? Ask your representative to confirm whether you will own the shoreline, or if not, whether you have the right to use it.
It's always a good idea to ask if there's an existing survey of the property. If there isn't one, it may be worth the expense to have one done.
If the property is zoned "seasonal," does the municipality provide emergency services or road plowing in the winter? Are you allowed to be there year-round? How are neighbouring properties zoned? Could new development intrude on your view? These are key questions that should be answered before you put in an offer.
You should also consider the carrying costs for the property. Even if you're only there six months of the year, the mortgage payments, insurance and property taxes continue year-round.
The cost of utilities can be particularly tricky, because they vary according to how the property is used. Even travel time and costs should be taken into account.
Relaxing in the country can be a dream come true, but it's important to take the proper steps before you dive into a purchase.Joseph Richer is Registrar of the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).

● Cornstarch– Just mix 3:1 ratio of cornstarch to vinegar to form a paste. Then apply it to the affected areas for almost 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water with a washcloth.
● Yogurt– Stirring 3 tablespoons plain yogurt to 2 tablespoons oatmeal, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to form a mixture to apply to the affected areas for 5 minutes helps a lot. Rinse the paste with cold water.
● Oatmeal or almond– Combine almond powder or oatmeal with rose water into a paste. Apply it to the trouble areas and then whole face with fingertips for 15 minutes before rinsing face with cold water.
● Rice– Soak some rice in milk for 6 hours to grind them in a blender to form a paste or scrub like variation to apply on the affected facial areas.
● Potatoes– Grate few raw potatoes to apply on affected areas before washing it off after 10 minutes.
● Fenugreek leaves– Crush them and mix water to make a paste to apply on face for almost 15 minutes each night to keep the face free from whiteheads and blackheads.
● Coriander leaves– Mix few coriander leaves, pinch of turmeric powder along with water to make a paste to use it as a face mask for getting rid of blackheads.
● Oatmeal- Grind little amount of oatmeal to make its powder and add rose water to apply it on the affected areas for about 15 minutes before washing it off with slightly cold water.
● Baking soda– Make a mixture of same parts water and baking soda to rub it on the blackheads area for almost 15 minutes before rinsing it with warm water.
● Honey- Simply spread a little amount of honey on affected area for about 15 minutes before removing it.Constantly remember to be gentle with your skin: never ever thrust, squeeze, pinch, push, or rub the facial skin hard!

Ways To Give
Your gift may be made in many forms. CELT routinely accepts gifts of cash and securities, as well as a number of other common lifetime and estate gifts. Planned gifts such as charitable remainder trusts, retirement and life insurance policy designations and bequests are among the options you may wish to consider. CELT's gift acceptance policy provides details related to these and other gifts, or you may contact CELT Executive Director, Cindy Krum, if you have any questions about the various planned giving vehicles that you and your professional advisors might consider.
Your gift may be given in support of our general operations, or may be dedicated toward one particular aspect of our work. If you are considering a restricted gift, please arrange to meet with us to discuss the available options.
Bequest Through Your Will or Living Trust
The following suggested language for consideration by you and your legal advisor would provide unrestricted support for CELT's three-fold mission to preserve land, provide responsible stewardship, and deliver educational programs that foster appreciation of natural areas:
"I give (_____ dollars) (or a specific asset) or (_____percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) to the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust, a charitable, tax-exempt organization located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, for its general purposes." And there are many other planned giving alternatives.
Is CELT already included in your estate plans? If so, please let us know. Our knowledge of your estate plans helps CELT to plan more effectively for the future. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you may, of course, do so, and you may choose not to receive future invitations to Oak Society events.
General Endowment Fund
CELT's board has established a General Endowment Fund to assure that CELT will be able to meet its commitments now and in the future. With your support, income generated by this endowment fund will provide CELT with a perpetual source of annual revenue that will play a critical role in achieving CELT's mission and foster its ability to fulfill its obligations to care for the lands that it has protected in perpetuity.

"I moved back to Maine in 2007 after many years of living in large urban cities. I was looking for a place that offered easy access to the outdoors for activities that are important to me–walking, cycling and kayaking. Cape Elizabeth has provided all of this and much more. The Cape Elizabeth Land Trust's stewardship of the land is one of the many reasons I love living here. I am committed to finding ways to ensure that land conservation continues and have included CELT in my will."
Dr. Joseph Schenkel
"On a fine autumnal evening, some twenty odd years ago, I wandered into an annual meeting, being held in the Grange Hall, of the newly emergent Cape Elizabeth Land Trust. A warm welcome coupled with an explanation of their goals and I was hooked. I still am. Now in CELT's maturity, it gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to continue playing a part in this effort to save so much of Cape's beautiful and bountiful land for future generations. I hope that my bequest will contribute to CELT's ability to fulfill its mission for years to come."

Gibson Les Paul Case – Canada 1990s
by Gibson$275.00 19049
This is a nice Les Paul case made for Gibson by TKL sometime in the mid 1990s we think. Oh …. by the way it's empty.
It has been lightly used some time ago, but has been empty and surplus to requirements for a while. Is shows a few blemishes on the vinyl here and there, but no tears or deep scratches. There is some light tarnishing on the hinges, but everything works as it should. Basically this looks like a case that's been in a cupboard for years – because that's what it is.
Structurally perfect, all hinges & latches working perfectly, everything lines up and you can even lock it.
All angles of our photos show a nice black Canadian made Gibson case in very good order.

Long term test results
-A&K M249 SAW PARA - Going strong with nary a whiff of trouble. The electric box mag is FLAWLESS! It has fed easily 10,000 bbs since we got it and is still on the first set of 2 AA batteries. We have put a TSD tightbore barrel in it and this has helped the accuracy even more. This is my favorite piece and is my skirmish weapon in woodland games.
-CA G36C - The selector switch has come loose and is now non functioning on the right side. The battery compartment wiring also got pulled apart. This may have been user error, but it has not happened with any other gun we have tested. Also, we had its mag break so that the nub that keeps the bbs from spilling out has no tension on it. (The spring broke the plastic mount that kept it in place). This has rendered the mag less useful. The fit and finish of the gun remain intact and when it does fire, it remains steady at about 300 fps with ROF higher than some at around 16 -18 bps (Estimate).
- E1 G36C - This is one of our first airsoft guns and it has not let us down yet. Its accuracy, velocity and reliability have made it a favorite on the field.
-E1 M14 Socom - This offering definitely provides some "Intimidation" on the field as it looks ready to rumble. For the most part this seems deserved, as our test model has gone through many hands in many skirmishes and continues to provide reliable and accurate performance.
-JG AK Spetz - The comeback kid of the test arsenal. Our test model suffered from some quirks early on in the testing and died at the end of one of our videos. A disassembly, cleaning and reassembly have brought the slick gun back from the dead and it is now functioning great!
-JG Steyr AUG - Our second AUG has been nothing but good to us until our last skirmish. It started to misfeed and jam on us. It is possibel that the magazine is worn out (As we have used it A LOT) but as of right now the cause of the malfunction is unknown.
-TSD M4 RIS - The gun has performed well during the games that we have used it in. However, through no fault of its own, it is currently in drydock for upgrades. Will update when the upgrades are done.
- TSD UMP - An unknown problem has struck our UMP and it fires sporadically. It has not been abused, but it has been unused for some time. We will be inspecting it internally to determine the cause of the problem.
-TSD M9 GBB - Our test model has seen better days. Partly this is due to the fine florida sand in which our test model has been dropped. Due to the open slide design that Beretta utilizes, the fine sand granules have fouled up the works. Luckily a thorough cleaning helped, but the gun is still not functioning perfectly. More cleaning is necessary and I am considering disassembling the entire gun and soaking each part in a lubricant bath.
- TSD SD87 3-Burst Shotgun - We havn't had these testers for too long, but we have skirmished with them several times now. The tri-burst function on the 87 is fun to use and funcitonal in CQB situations. It shoots a little lower than advertised, (225 FPS) is what we clocked, but that doesnt concern us given that the shots are consistently at the 225 fps mark and bc it is a cqb type gun, it should not have high velocity anyway for saftey reasons.
TSD SD88 - This compact shotgun surprised us with its accuracy and power. It isn't the prettiest belle at the ball, but it performs well for the money. It has turned into our favorite plinker because of its accuracy and its power gives most AEGs a run for its money. As a shotgun, it may not be the most effective at spreading bbs, but you can rack the slide several times and create a "Shot" pattern of 3-6 bbs. They won't be traveling all that fast, but in close quarters, you won't need them too. Also, the gun has withstood a decent amount of "Slam firing" without complaint. Only time will tell how much the gun will take this treatment, but after all, thats what we want to know.

It was high time someone reminded us Thrust deserved far more recognition than they actually had.
Thrust were one of a number of bands who featured on Metal Blade's famous 1980's compilations 'Metal Massacre' (the series that shed light on the early recordings of bands like Metallica, Metal Church and Slayer) and their 1984 debut album 'Fist Held High' is an album that is nowadays regarded as a cult classic. However, Thrust never really made it to the true Pantheon Of Metal; their 1988 album 'Reincarnation' was shelved for almost thirty years and the group itself fell into obscurity. A tepid reception to their 2002 comeback album 'Invitation To Insanity' didn't help matters either.
Now, with the arrival of the band's 35th Anniversary, Metal Blade have decided to unleash the ultimate treat for everyone who's ever pumped their fist and screamed along to Thrust; a double album that includes '...High', the long-lost 1988 unreleased album as well as some live and demo rarities. The main attraction is obviously the re-released classic album '...High' that is, simply put, all things Metal – almost an encyclopaedic definition of the genre. From the title through to the raw, rough sound with distinctive influences of NWOBHM and classically clichéd lyrics, it's the early Traditional/Power Metal at its best.
The riffs are heavy and muscular, juxtaposed with pounding rhythm section work with the band's lead singer (at the time – John Bonata) screaming his head off. Just take a quick look over the track listing – from the title track to 'Metallic Attack', 'Heavier Than Hell' and 'Posers Will Die' – and you'll find it urgent to check if that bleached denim vest with patches and pins from 1984 still fits! Apart from eight songs that were included on the original release, this new version also includes five live recordings. Four of them were released in 1982 on the 'Solidarnosc - Rock For Poland' compilation in support of the Solidarity (Solidarnosc) movement during and right after the Martial Law period in Poland. A bit of relatively recent history of my homeland – but first and foremost, Thrust's raw energy captured on record. The final track is the live rendition of 'Destructer' from the 'Metal Massacre IV' compilation (1983).
The inclusion of both the five earlier, pre-'...High' live recordings, the cult album itself and then the previously unreleased 'Reincarnation' (and assorted demos) on the second disc really shows the band's evolution. The juxtaposition of 1984's '...High' and 'Reincarnation' is particularly interesting – on the latter, the group's sound is not as raw and rough due to slicker production (by Bob Kulick).
'Reincarnation' also features a few more catchy songs ('Wasted' and 'Get Crazy') which could be claimed to even be a bit Skid Row-ish. However, it's still the same Thrust we knew from their debut album, always ready to deliver a handful of fist-pumping anthems driven by the Judas Priest-esque twin guitar attack and pounding rhythm. The album's slow moments are the proverbial fly in the ointment – the vocals during 'God Only Knows' and the ballad-esque parts of 'The Fool' are, for the lack of a courteous euphemism, simply terrible. As for the handful of demo recordings that are also included, the quality is good and the songs are an interesting insight into the sphere of band's unpolished, unfinished creative ideas. Some of these might have been developed to perfection and contribute to Thrust's big breakthrough, but – for some reason or another – it never happened.
There are certain reasons why Thrust's 'Fist Held High' remains a cult classic more than thirty years after it was released and why the band's logo made it to so many Metalheads' vests and jackets. It was due to the excellent music itself but also because of their sound captured all the things each of us knows from our own youth – angst, rebellion, alienation... all the things true Metal music was always about. That's why it was high time someone reminded us Thrust deserved far more recognition than they actually had.

Covering Community Forestry in Oaxaca
Washington, D.C. - From April 3 to April 6, 20 Mexican journalists met in Oaxaca and toured villages of the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca to learn about communal forest management.
From a furniture showroom in Oaxaca City the group's bus climbed serpentine tarmac into the mountains to reach three villages, a sawmill and furniture factory, an ecotourism lodge and a cloud forest in Oaxaca's Sierra Norte. Journalists heard from more than a score of managers, technicians and community members. They conducted dozens of interviews. And on their return to Oaxaca City, they exchanged ideas on how to cover aspects of this sprawling topic.
The workshop was sponsored by the Ford Foundation-Mexico and administered by the International Center for Journalists.
Due to the Mexican Revolution's distribution of land to peasant communities, as much as 80 percent of Mexican forests are owned communally.
David Bray, an anthropology professor from Florida University, who is perhaps the leading international authority on community forestry in Mexico, maintains that community forestry in Mexico is a potential model for sustainable development of tropical forests in other lands.
This workshop spent the most time on Ixtlán de Juárez, the most sophisticated and technically advanced of the Sierra Norte's forest-owning communities. The journalists stayed in Ixtlán's ecotourism lodge, heard about its tourist programs, dined with a group of WWF biologists who were helping Ixtlán develop standards for maintenance of healthy, sustainable forests, and toured the community's pine nursery, furniture factory and sawmill. Tracing the product to market, they even visited the Oaxaca City showroom of TIP Muebles, the marketing joint venture of Ixtlán together with two nearby communities: Santiago Textitlán and Pueblos Mancomunados.
Rounding out the community visits were lunches and talks in Calpulalpam, near Ixtlán, and La Esperanza, a part of Santiago Comaltepec in the cloud forests near the apex of the Sierra Norte. In the three communities journalists heard about and witnessed some of the prosperity that local communities derive from sustainable timber cutting, wood working, or providing ecosystem services from clean water to carbon sequestration to maintaining biological diversity. The group hiked into the protected area near La Esperanza and ate lunch at a trout restaurant at Calpulalpam.
"You don't know how much I enjoyed the workshop, and would like to attend others," said Olga Rosario Avendaño, a Oaxaca reporter for the Spanish news service EFE.
In addition to the journalists, we allowed a total of seven extra persons to travel with our group in Oaxaca; they came from Reforestamos, CONAFOR and the Consejo Civil Mexicano para la Silvicultura Sostenible (CMSS).
Logistically, this was the most ambitious of ICFJ's three Mexican forestry field trips. Previous ICFJ forestry workshops visited communities in the pine-cloaked mountains of Michoacán and the tropical lowlands of Quintana Roo.

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's… Stan Lee. Fans of comic books and the cinema know that part of the fun of watching a movie featuring a Marvel comic book hero — such as The Avengers, Spiderman, The Fantastic Four — is to spot Stan Lee. What character does he play? Is it a speaking part? How many seconds is he on screen?
Stan Lee, born Stanley Martin Lieber, is legendary in the comic book industry. In 1939 he began his career at Timely Comics, in New York, filling inkwells for the artists and doing proofreading. Lee wrote and introduced his first comic hero, Captain America, in May 1941 using his newly adopted pseudonym, Stan Lee. Over the years Timely Comics evolved to Marvel Comics.
The comic book industry was revolutionized in the 1950s when Stan Lee, urged by his wife to tell the type of stories he wanted to tell, reinvented the comic book superheroes by making them imperfect — giving them human flaws like weaknesses, temper tantrums, illness, and so forth. In collaboration with talented artists like Jack Kirby, Bill Everett, and Steve Ditko, Lee introduced his iconic superheros to the world: The Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, X-Men, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and of course, Spider-Man. In the early 1980s, Lee moved west to California to develop movie and TV projects for Marvel. The rest is movie history — the Marvel movies are some of the most successful action films in history.
As the former president and CEO of Marvel Comics, Lee is entitled to a few perks, of course. One of those perks is to appear in every Marvel film, if only for a few seconds. In an interview, Lee sees them more as supporting roles rather than cameos. Starting in 2000, Lee has had a cameo in the following films (name of film, year, and Stan Lee's role in the movie):
X-Men (2000): hot dog vendor
Spider-Man 1 (2002): man who saves a girl from falling debris
Daredevil (2003): man who is saved from walking in front of truck
Hulk (2003): man walking out of a building with security guard
Spider-Man 2 (2004): man who saves woman from falling debris
Fantastic Four (2005): Willie Lumpkin, a postal worker
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006): neighbor of Jean Grey
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007): as himself, attending a wedding on a rooftop
Spider-Man 3 (2007): a man interviewed in Time Square in NYC
Iron Man 1 (2008): a man attending event mistaken for Hugh Hefner
The Incredible Hulk (2008): a man who opens a refrigerator and is killed when he drinks a soda containing the Hulk's blood
Iron Man 2 (2010): a man mistake for Larry King
Thor (2011): a man who attempts to pull Thor's hammer using a pickup truck
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): a general
The Avengers (2012): a man who is interviewed after a big battle scene
The Amazing Spider-Man 1 (2012): a librarian wearing headphones
Iron Man 3 (2013): a beauty pageant judge
Thor: The Dark World (2013): a bus driver
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014): a member of the audience at Peter and Gwen's graduation
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): WWII veteran attending a party drinking Asgardian liquor
Ant-Man (2015): a bartender

November 2019
Due to some big changes in my life like looking after my grandson 2/3 days a week, getting married and moving, work on my next book has recently slowed down. However, now things have settled down, things are progressing slowly but surely.
January 2019 My Next Book
I properly started my next book slowly in November 2018. I now have the first section almost completed, in draught that is, I am yet to type it up. I have just started the second section of my next book. The book will be different to my other two books, but it will still consist of poems and thoughts, and there will be 3 sections to it. That is all I am going to give away for now.

I received an email from my publisher telling me that my next book, "Pembrokeshire In Rhyme" should be listed firstly on Amazon by approximately 9th July, then on other major retailers sites very soon after. So keep watching my website and social media for more details. My next book is Pembrokeshire In Rhyme ISBN 978-1-78623-294-6.
1st June 2018 My Next Book is in the hands of The Publisher!
On 29th May 2018, I completed the process of sending my book to Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd. so my next book is now in the hands of the publisher. I had received 2 donations that helped make this second book possible. Thank you again to those of you who gave me the donations.

All being well, my book should be ready before the school summer holidays, and as soon as I get a confirmed publishing/release date I will let you know. Thank you to all my supporters.
10th April 2018 Book Progress Report So Far
I have been busy working on the finishing touches for my next book and I've added another poem to the book. I am typing it all up and am hoping to have it ready to send to the publishers by end of May. I need to make the final decisions about what photographs of mine I am going to have in the book too.
I have received a donation towards the cost of publishing my next book and there is another donation on the way. So I'm not far away from having enough funds to have my next book published. I will reveal the title and subject of my next book when I send it to the publishers. A special thank you to those of you who gave me donations and to those of you who have been a constant source of encouragement.
30th August 2017 Book Progress Report So Far
I have finished writing my poems for my next book, but they are still in the hand written in a note book stage. Next, I will sort out which of my photos are going to go with which of my poems. Then I will write another short article that will be included in my book and the other pieces I need to write. When all this is done, I will then type it all up, get it proof read and then upload it all to my publishers, after I've raised enough funds to do so that is. I will reveal the title of my next book when I send it to the publishers.
If you would like to help me raise funds or my next book then please shop for gifts and books through my affiliate links in my articles, and of course you can buy my book too.
