I am totally out of ideas for DS' birthday this year. He is turning 8. He has all of the usual (lego, a bike, a scooter) but the situation is made even tricker as we are moving in June and will only have what we can pack into suitcases. So it can't be anything too big or we will have to leave it behind!
I need some good ideas from the amazing BB collective. Please help!
Depending on your budget and how you feel about electronic games, a DS or Android version of Ipad or and Ipad mini. A mind game like Traffic Hour (packs up in a little bag), Rubiks Cube. Anything Minecraft, Skylanders (my DS loves to play with the Sklylanders charachters without the Xbox), just uses his imaginiation.
My ds turned 8 in January and we gave him some books, new school bag, minecraft figures, pokemon stuffed toy and a pokemon ds game. Plus little stuff, lunchbox etc. We do the want, need, wear, read philosophy here.
What about an IOU to use when you get to wherever you are going.
That way you don't have to take it with you and is something to look forward to when you get there.
DS has recently turned 8. He has an IOU party for June and is happy about that. He is awesome. An IOU can work.
Presents, books are good. I love Lego, he will play it with me. Hexbugs keep him amused for hours and there are some sets that pack up small. Pocket knife? Victorinox do a my first swiss army knife for this age group. Useful for when you move and need boxes opened!
Otherwise, I second the tablet idea. With case and car charger. Preload on some books and games. The ebook of Fortunately The Milk is read by Neil Gaiman, for example, and keeps DS occupied for quite a while and I can listen along too.
Hmmmm. You guys have given me some things to think about. I really like the want, need, read wear idea. He doesn't have his own ipad but is the main user of his Dad's so I don't think we will get another. But I could boost it with some things like some more games or ebooks. The pocket knife is an interesting idea. He might like that! I should note that we are having a trip away as a joint birthday present (as we are all around the same time) so we are going to Norway for a week next week (Vikings - yay!!). So that is part of his present but of course it's nice to open something on the day as well.
Thanks for all of your suggestions!!
I got my nephew a seedling planter for his birthday. Depending on when the birthday is, some tomatoes or strawberries might be fruited and finished in that time. The nephew loved it and they have since planted a garden, which is something you might be able to do when you move.
That's a nice idea Foss It won't work for us this year as we will be in limbo for at least a couple of months I expect (the pain of short term contracts!) but I will definitely keep it in mind for next year, or as a moving in present when we finally know what we are doing.
What about binoculars and a compass!! I gave them to a friends son for 8th birthday and he loved them!!
A camera so he can take his own photos of your trip.
Hi guys! Thanks for all your suggestions. I was beginning to think DS is a bit spoilt as he actually had a lot of those things either here or back in OZ. But he mentioned that he would really like a little guitar (aka ukelele). He has one back home but just a toy one. So I had a look around and found an silent electric one (that you can use with headphones or an amp), which is perfect! We live in a flat so definitely don't want to be making lots of noise, and my hubby would like to learn the uke as well so if DS gets bored there is someone else who is keen. Its not an expensive one but it is a proper one so should be a lot of fun to muck around on, plus it isn't too big (just over 30cm) so we should be able to get it home easily enough. Whew, one more birthday decision done!

Vincente Filisola: Evacuation of Texas....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Exceedingly rare account of the Evacuation of Texas by General Vincente Filisola; one of the most famous and sought after Texas itemsVincente Filisola: Evacuation of Texas. Translation of the Representation Addressed to the Supreme Government by Gen. Vincente Filisola, in Defence of His Honor, and Explanation of His Operations as Commander-in-Chief of the Army Against Texas. (Columbia: Printed by G. & T.H. Borden, Public Printers, 1837). First and only edition in English (first published in Mexico in 1836) of the account of the Mexican retreat following the Battle of San Jacinto, written by Santa Anna's second in command, Vincente Filisola. A masterly defense of his acts in ordering and conducting the retreat. It was the first book printed in Texas by the Republic of Texas. Filisola wrote this vindication only four months after San Jacinto and the 'documents' on pages 37-68 are as important as his account of Santa Anna's failure. Octavo (8" x 5"). Iv, [3]-68 pages (bound in front of approximately fifty additional leaves). Early twentieth-century half sheep over marbled boards, spine gilt with raised bands, red morocco label lettered in gilt. Housed in a custom full morocco clamshell case lettered on the spine.
The account was of great interest to all Texans, and there is an entry in the journal of the Texas House of Representatives for November 23, 1836, announcing a message from the President 'recommending the translation of a Spanish pamphlet in vindication of Filisola's conduct in the campaign of Texas.' The preface of the translator, George L. Hammeken, signed G.L.H. is dated Brazoria, January, 1837, and there is a notice in the Telegraph Register for January 27, 1837, reading in part, 'We are now engaged in printing the translation of Filisola's defence in a pamphlet which we hope to have completed in two weeks.'
Vincente Filisola (1789-1850). When Antonio López de Santa Anna organized his campaign against Texas, he commissioned Filisola as second in command of his army. Thus, with the capture of Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto, he was faced with the formidable task of withdrawing the Mexican forces from Texas. Despite considerable opposition from other officers, Filisola carried out Santa Anna's orders and began to retreat. By the time he received instructions from the Mexican government on May 28, he had already ordered the evacuation of San Antonio and had ratified the public treaty of Velasco, and his army had crossed the Nueces. Upon receiving the government's order to preserve conquests already made, he offered to countermarch, but because of the condition of the Mexican troops the retreat continued to Matamoros. On June 12, José de Urrea replaced Filisola in general command; Filisola resigned his own command to Juan José Andrade and retired to Saltillo. Upon his return to Mexico in 1836, Filisola published a defense of his conduct in Texas. It was translated into English and published by the Republic of Texas in 1837, as Evacuation of Texas. Filisola was accused of being a coward and a traitor in overseeing the withdrawal of the Mexican troops, and he faced formal charges upon his return to Mexico. The general successfully defended himself before the court-martial and was exonerated in June 1841.
George Louis Hammeken was a businessman, government official, and historian, probably a native of New York, who moved to Mexico around 1831. In 1833 he met Stephen F. Austin, who advised him to settle in Texas. He arrived as the representative of Manning and Marshall, agents for the British banking firm of Barings, in October 1835. When the Texas Revolution curtailed his activities, he went to New Orleans and Mexico City but returned to Texas in December 1836. At Brazoria in 1837 he translated Vincente Filisola's Evacuation of Texas. From the collection of Darrel Brown.

Foreclosures In Gravelbourg
Buying a house from foreclosure listings may be a great way to buy a home or investment property at a huge discount! Why don't more people take advantage of this untapped market of houses? Largely this is as a result of lack of know-how about the method or fear from untrue stories they may have heard about buying a foreclosure. Foreclosuresearch.ca is a excellent resource to learn all about the foreclosure market and how best to negotiate a deal that suits your unique needs. Click below for foreclosures, power of sale and bank owned homes in Gravelbourg.
How can I find foreclosures in Gravelbourg?
I use Foreclosuresearch.ca for my foreclosure needs because it is a one stop shop so to speak for education about the market and foreclosure process as well as lists of available properties with photos and descriptions.
This saves me a bunch of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for many hours looking at different Realtors websites combing through houses in Gravelbourg that are not really foreclosures or don't fit what I am looking for.
Other options for finding foreclosed houses is to speak to your local bank to see if they are carrying properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that specializes in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list whatever property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure purchasing process so you need to be enlightened before going in.
How to buy a foreclosed house in Gravelbourg with bad credit.
Let me start by saying that shopping for a foreclosed house in Gravelbourg with bad credit is conceivable!
You have the option to buy a home for cash at a real estate auction. Then your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not applying for a loan. Not everyone has this sort of money lying around though so lets consider other options.
Research federal home buying programs. There are many programs available again to support those with low incomes or poor credit to buy properties.
Search for residential or commercial properties in Gravelbourg and try to find loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a somewhat higher interest rate as a result of your lower credit score. You should be able to remortgage in a number of years after making on time payments to obtain a lower rate.
Tips on how to buy a foreclosed condo in Gravelbourg, SK.
The very first step is to get pre approved for a mortgage through a bank of your choosing or obtain enough money to buy a house through an auction for all cash.
Next, find condos in Gravelbourg, SK that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that is skilled in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the method of buying.
If you have questions about the process, I would consider consulting with a real estate or foreclosure attorney before purchasing to make sure you understand the process and the complexities of buying foreclosed properties.
One thing that ought to be considered before you buy is that some foreclosure properties are not open to having a home inspection done before buying and/or the bank that owns the property may not agree to make any repairs. This could end up costing you some money to ensure the repairs after purchasing. This is the only downfall in my opinion when buying foreclosed homes.
How long does it take to buy a foreclosure in Gravelbourg?
This relies on how you are buying the property. Properties that are bought in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to move to the bank and the title to be completed. Personally, I have had properties transfer to me within three days in most cases.
If you are buying a property through a mortgage then the closing process takes a small bit longer. My experience has been about thirty days to closing, which is pretty standard when purchasing a property.
Are there reasons not to buy a power of sale home?
Foreclosed houses are usually sold "as is," meaning the bank is not willing to make any repairs before selling the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to deal with. Sometimes the repairs are trivial and other times they are huge.
Often a foreclosed property in Gravelbourg SK has sat uninhabited for a while so maintenance has been ignored and will need to be dealt with immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has changed to a new owner doesn't mean that all difficulties have passed. This is the importance of having a title search done prior to buying a property due to the fact that liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could inherit them without knowing it.
How to negotiate for power of sale homes.
Patience is key here! The bank is in business to make money so they will be trying to get the greatest price for the house that they can.
Dealing with banks is a mechanical process and usually handled by computers and not actual people. This can be irritating for you the buyer but it is what it is. Ultimately if you are persistent the bank will very likely cave if they have no other offers because they understand they need to move the property quickly.
Are Gravelbourg repo homes good or bad?
This depends upon your goals and the risk level that you are willing to accept. If you agree to take on the potential repairs yourself and not expect the bank to pay for them then this is a great deal!
Remember to do your homework on foreclosures and on your property before buying to know exactly what you are getting into.

Notice provided to the debtor after fifteen days of default
Notification given to anybody who has an interest in the property

Once the period ends and the default is not remedied, the lending institution can sell the home
The property can be offered by auction, private agreement, or by tender. The residential or commercial property is usually listed with a realtor and placed on the marketplace for sale utilizing several listing service (MLS).
The ownership of the residential or commercial property will alter hands just if the residential or commercial property is offered.

How do you discover power of sale listings?

Twenty-five families affected by alleged defects in the drug Zoloft filed a multi-plaintiff case against Pfizer and other defendants. Two of the families were from the State of New York where Pfizer has its principal place of business and citizenship and the others were from West Virginia. Thereafter, the defendants attempted to remove the case from circuit court claiming that the West Virginia plaintiffs could be "selectively" removed from the matter as each family's filing constituted a separate case under Rule 3 of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure. That contention was rejected in federal court and the case was remanded. Thereafter, additional families filed Zoloft cases which were then consolidated and referred to the Mass Litigation Panel. The Mass Litigation Panel took a different approach to Rule 3(a) concluding that each case was in fact separate. The Mass Litigation Panel's decision was rendered sua sponde without briefing. Accordingly, the petitioners contend that the Mass Litigation Panel was unaware that its interpretation of Rule 3 would lead to the removal of most of the cases referred to the Mass Litigation Panel in the first place.
Does the requirement that each plaintiff family pay a separate filing fee under Rule 3 of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure create separate cases for each such family such that a defendant may selectively remove non-diverse plaintiffs from a mass litigation panel proceeding, to federal court?
The Petitioners prevailed here on the interpretation of Rule 3 and Rule 20 of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure. Chief Justice Davis, long a pre-eminent scholar in the area of civil procedure, wrote the opinion.
The Court analyzed the Rule 20 issue first and explained that under long-standing West Virginia and federal law, Rule 20 allows cases that arise from a sequence of related transactions or occurrences to be joined together in a single lawsuit. The test for relatedness is a logical one, and does not mean the transactions need to be "identical." Instead, the "sharing" of operative facts among the claims joined is enough to allow joinder. Op. at 13. This mass tort case, where all claims arose from issues related to the prescription of the drug Zoloft, satisfies the Rule 20 test, including part 2 of the test, the existence of common questions of law or fact.
The second rule at issue was Rule 3. The Zoloft defendants claimed that Rule 3, by requiring separate filing fees for each family made part of the case, was actually making each case a separate one. The objective was to individually remove cases that did not include a non-diverse plaintiff to federal court, splitting those cases off from the whole, which was concededly non-removable. The Court had previously allowed a fee to be charged per-family in mass tort cases to relieve the financial burden on clerk's offices that arise when a large litigation is filed under the aegis of a single complaint. See Cable v. Hatfield.
The Court completely rejected the Zoloft defendants' theory, that had been adopted by the mass litigation panel. In a fairly cut-and-dried fashion, the Court made it clear that the Court itself is the final arbiter of the Rules of Civil Procedure, and that the Zoloft defendants' citation to the Panel's conceptions of its purposes could not withstand the previous caselaw holding that joined cases are joined and cannot be treated as separate merely on the basis of the fees. Rule 3 is simply an administrative convenience, and does not overrule or modify Rule 20. As the Court put it:
"All that Rule 3(a) was intended to do was to attach a separate filing fee and record keeping docket number for multiple persons, not related by marriage, a derivative or fiduciary relationship, who are joined as plaintiffs in a complaint . . . if this Court had sought to achieve the Panel's interpretation of Rule 3(a), we necessarily would have had to abolish Rule 20(a)."
Op. at 25-27. The Court then went on to address one additional issue in its opinion.
The final issue related to the Panel's overstepping its bounds. While not the focus of the briefs of the parties, the Court was acutely aware that the two cases (not twenty-five cases, as Respondents alleged) were referred to the Panel by the Chief Justice. The motion practice out of which the referral order arose specifically addressed the Respondents' contention that there were twenty-five cases, by the referral order specifically referred just two. This implicit or explicit rejection of the Respondent's position should have counted for more with the Panel, as the Court's opinion pointed out. Op. at 34-36. The Court emphatically stated:
"The Mass Litigation Panel does not have authority to vacate an order of the Chief Justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Therefore, when an order of the Chief Justice transfers cases to the Panel, the Panel has no authority to separate the cases under Rule 3(a) of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure for the purpose of substantively increasing the number of cases that were transferred." Op. at 38.
This case came down rather resoundingly in favor of the Petitioners. They prevailed on each issue of Rule interpretation they had raised and the Court then added a substantial rebuke to the Mass Litigation Panel in terms of ignoring the Chief Justice's order of referral and, in effect, trying to nullify it. Litigants defending mass litigation have long looked to expand federal jurisdiction over such claims, believing that to be a friendlier forum for defendants. But the law of West Virginia and federal law on what constitutes a properly-joined case frustrated them in this case.

OVERNIGHT medical care in Stroud will next week become a thing of the past.
From Tuesday November 1, the town's Minor Injuries and Illness Unit (MIIU) will implement its new opening and closing hours.
The nurse-led unit at Stroud General Hospital on Trinity Road will now be open from 8am until 11pm, seven days a week.
The move puts an end to the 24/7 medical care in the district, meaning patients from Stroud will now have to travel to A&E in Gloucester or Cheltenham for out of hours medical attention.
Councillors are concerned this will pose serious problems for elderley people and those without access to transport.
The change follows a controversial public consultation through the summer months.
A community campaign saw hundreds attend meetings, rallies and protests to try and stop the overnight closure.
Despite their opposition, a final decision was made at a meeting of Gloucestershire Care Service's Trust Board in September 2016.
MIIUs provide care and treatment for urgent, but not life-threatening, healthcare needs such as sprains, cuts and wounds, skin problems.
The MIIU at Cirencester Hospital will also switch to an 8am-11pm, seven days a week system on Tuesday November 1.

Grateful Living
I'd sure like to learn to be a more grateful person if for no other reason than an obvious one: being grateful makes you happier; ingratitude diminishes happiness. Fortunately, many wonderful people have taught me lessons of gratitude.
A friend, Adrienne, when she was diagnosed with cancer, began keeping a "Gratitude Journal." Every morning she writes down 10 things that she was grateful for.
Brother David Steindl-Rast inspired a worldwide Network for Grateful Living. Check out its interactive web site: Gratefulness.org. I feel energized every time I visit it.
Thich Nhat Hanh has taught countless people to find joy in the present moment. He says, "Every morning we have 24 brand new hours to live. What a precious gift!"
In these days of such troubling daily headlines (in addition to our own personal struggles), we all easily are in touch with the dreadful part of life. At the same time, life if full of wonder. For our own happiness and to help us become more expansive and generous, may we always grow in gratitude.
We all know people who radiate gratefulness. What's their secret?

Legislation creating a competitive operating environment to attract data centers was approved by the Illinois General Assembly this weekend and heads to the Governor for signature, according to the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
Advocated by both business and labor leaders, the legislation creates tax incentives for the state's data center industry in order to bring high-paying jobs to Illinois and create greater economic opportunities and additional revenue streams for communities.
DCEDC has worked with technology companies, developers and community leaders together with the Illinois and Chicagoland Chambers of Commerce to inform legislators of benefits of data center development and the need for incentives to compete with other states.
Data centers employ highly skilled computer and information technology professionals, many of which are educated at Northern Illinois University and Kishwaukee College. Data center development would provide attractive jobs enabling students to settle and raise families locally, strengthening and diversifying the DeKalb County economy and contributing to the Illinois economy.
Research, Development and Information Technology has been identified as a target industry cluster in the DeKalb County Thriving! Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS Plan). Establishment of a viable research and technology cluster would strengthen Northern Illinois University, DeKalb County's largest employer and economic engine, by providing transformational student experiences connecting business innovation with university research.
Data centers are critical infrastructure facilities that store, process and distribute large amounts of data for a wide range of industries. Data center development would contribute to the local economy by providing high wage technology jobs and expanding the tax base to support schools, municipalities and other governmental services.
According to the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, "data centers generated approximately $321.7 million in state and local revenue in 2017. Additionally, Illinois boasted 31,500 high-paying jobs within this industry, as well as $54.1 million in construction labor income for 820 workers." With the addition of incentives, Illinois and DeKalb expect to see those investment and job numbers grow.
DeKalb County is distinctly equipped to support data center development due to the availability of high voltage electric power from ComEd, abundant municipal water supply from the City of DeKalb, and virtually unlimited broadband capacity through a high-speed fiber-optic network built by Northern Illinois University, with the support of the State of Illinois and DeKalb County.
The data center development industry has shown great interest in DeKalb County, selecting the ChicagoWest Business Center as the last Illinois finalist for an 80-acre, $350 million Fortune 50 data center campus in 2013. This prospect was positively inclined toward DeKalb and Illinois, but instead selected an Iowa location to due to more favorable sales tax treatment. Since that time, most major technology firms have visited and seriously considered DeKalb, but instead developed data center campuses just over the border in Iowa.
"A recent study published by Mangum Economics for the Illinois and Chicagoland Chamber Foundations found that tax incentives were an important factor in data center development and have been passed in 30 states, including neighboring states," according to Illinois Chamber of Commerce press release.
"The study found that from June 2017 to June 2018 Chicago's data center market lagged behind other states and only grew 7 percent. In contrast, states and cities with incentives experienced much higher growth rates, such as the Phoenix market, which grew 26 percent; the Northern Virginia market, which grew 16 percent; and the Atlanta market grew, which grew 12 percent," the Illinois Chamber press release further states.
We are particularly encouraged by the actions of the Illinois General Assembly because DeKalb is currently a finalist for another data center campus codenamed Project Apogee. DCEDC is confident that a competitive operating environment will generate significant new data center investment, job creation and tax revenue.

If we want to make the solar power inverter to achieve good performance, but also to make the inverter manufacturers to achieve a variety of conditions, then the inverter in their own performance above, is what kind of conditions? Conditions of the first is the quality of the solar inverter factory product, if a product is not very good quality, then the solar power inverter at the time of their own use, you can't let myself to good quality, so this is it an important part of the performance, the user at the time of buying their own, must first select a high quality product, if a product can't reach very high quality, will make it at the time of their own use, can't meet the requirements of good.
Another aspect, is to make inverter at the time of their installation, meet good requirements, and we all know, for this kind of product, it on their own installation, also have their own different performance, if a product is no good to install, also can't let yourself to achieve the requirements of the good. For a lot of users now, when they use a product, they do not install it well, but also let it in their own quality has a certain decline.
Another aspect, is must for inverter manufacturer of some special requirements, attention to good use, different products, it at the time of their own use, also have their own different environmental requirements, so it is in their use of time, also should pay attention to it in their own environment requirements above, the last one, is it in your own products with the above, attention should be paid to it in your performance overload, some users themselves at the time of use, often appear overload performance, also can affect its performance.

Really it blows my mind.
Isn't it possible to design a boss that's both hard with 20 people and 40? Why are you set with having it at 40 even though 90% of the community hates it.
Why does a boss need to take 40? @Design#1

The Group of Eight (G-8) developed nations should spearhead an urgent global action plan to resolve the world's growing water and sanitation crisis, which causes nearly two million child deaths every year and holds back countries' development, especially in Africa, according to the 2006 Human Development Report released today by the United Nations.
Across much of the developing world, unclean water is an immeasurably greater threat to human security than violent conflict, warns the UN Development Programme (UNDP) report, entitled Beyond scarcity: Power, poverty and the global water crisis.
"National governments need to draw up credible plans and strategies for tackling the crisis in water and sanitation. But we also need a Global Action Plan – with active buy-in from the G-8 countries – to focus fragmented international efforts to mobilize resources and galvanize political action by putting water and sanitation front and centre on the development agenda," says Kevin Watkins, lead author of the report.
"When it comes to water and sanitation, the world suffers from a surplus of conference activity and a deficit of credible action. The diversity of international actors has militated against the development of strong international champions for water and sanitation," adds Mr. Watkins, who is also the head of the UNDP's Human Development Report Office.
Each year, the authors report, 1.8 million children die from diarrhoea that could be prevented with access to clean water and a toilet; 443 million school days are lost to water-related illnesses; and almost 50 per cent of all people in developing countries are suffering at any given time from a health problem caused by a lack of water and sanitation.
To add to these human costs, the crisis in water and sanitation holds back economic growth, with sub-Saharan Africa losing 5 per cent of GDP annually – far more than the region receives in aid, the report states, adding however that unlike wars and natural disasters, this global crisis does not galvanize concerted international action.
"Like hunger, it is a silent emergency experienced by the poor and tolerated by those with the resources, the technology and the political power to end it," the report says, warning that with less than a decade left to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) this needs to change. The MDGs are a set of ambitious targets agreed by world leaders in 2000 that seek to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and other social ills all by 2015.
"I fully support the call for a Global Action Plan to tackle the growing water and sanitation crisis," said UNDP Administrator Kemal Dervis. "As the 2006 Human Development Report highlights, each one of the eight Millennium Development Goals is inextricably tied to the next, so if we fail on the water and sanitation goal, hope of reaching the other seven rapidly fades.
"Either we take concerted action now to bring clean water and sanitation to the world's poor, or we consign millions of people to lives of avoidable poverty, poor health and diminished opportunities, and perpetuate deep inequalities within and between countries. And we have a collective responsibility to succeed," he said.
As well as creating a Global Action Plan, the report also recommends the following as crucial to dealing with the crisis:
· Make water a human right – and mean it: "Everyone should have at least 20 litres of clean water per day and the poor should get it for free," says the report.
· Draw up national strategies for water and sanitation: Governments should aim to spend a minimum of one per cent GDP on water and sanitation, and enhance equity. Water and sanitation suffer from chronic under-funding, with public spending typically less than 0.5 per cent of GDP. Research for the report shows that this figure is dwarfed by military spending. For example, in Ethiopia, the military budget is 10 times the water and sanitation budget – in Pakistan, 47 times.
· Increase international aid: The report calls for an extra $3.4 billion to $4 billion annually: Development assistance has fallen in real terms over the past decade, but to bring the MDG on water and sanitation into reach, aid flows will have to double, it says.
The report estimates the total additional cost of achieving the MDG on access to water and sanitation – to be sourced domestically and internationally – at about $10 billion a year. "The $10 billion price tag for the MDG seems a large sum – but it has to be put in context. It represents less than five days' worth of global military spending and less than half what rich countries spend each year on mineral water," it says.

Home > Resources > Newsletters > Mercy LIFE Newsletter > Tips for helping caregivers grieve
Published on March 27, 2018
"All of us mourn in our own way," says Sister Rayleen Giannotti, RSM, Vice President of Mission Integration, Mercy LIFE – West Philadelphia.
You may feel shocked, really sad or even angry that your loved one has died. Or you might feel lost, especially if your life revolved around caregiving. On the other hand, you might also feel at least some relief now that the challenges of taking care of your loved one are over.
All these feelings are normal. "Whatever you feel, give yourself permission to feel it," says Sister Rayleen. "That can help you heal." These tips may help too:
Be patient. Mourning takes time. It's common to feel a roller coaster of emotions for a while.
Reach out. Don't hesitate to let caring friends and family know if you need to talk. But if it's too painful to talk about the changes you're going through, that's OK too. You might feel better doing something as simple as taking a walk or expressing your feelings in a journal.
Know when to get help. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in your grief, let your doctor know or consider professional help from a therapist.
Take care of yourself. Do your best to eat well, exercise and get enough sleep.

Weekly Robotics Newsletter Archive [11/23]
Weekly Robotics #48
This week I had a chance to present Weekly Robotics newsletter during a ROS Agriculture community meeting. It was nice to share the results of the project and learn something about open source agricultural robots. You can see the meeting recording on YouTube. Really looking forward to see the autonomous tractor!
1) Soft Robots - Computerphile.
INFO: In this episode of his vlog Computerphile visits Kirstin Petersen's Lab at Cornell where a Grad Student Steven Ceron showcases some projects the Researchers are working on.
2) Robotics Library.
INFO: Via website: "The Robotics Library (RL) is a self-contained C++ library for robot kinematics, motion planning and control. It covers mathematics, kinematics and dynamics, hardware abstraction, motion planning, collision detection, and visualization." The project is open sourced under a BSD licence and you can find it on GitHub.
3) ROS 2 - Is it Time to Switch?
Rover Robotics
INFO: In this article from Rover Robotics we can learn a good bit on advice whether to switch from ROS to ROS 2 aimed at 7 different user groups.
4) PythonRobotics.
INFO: PythonRobotics is a collection of robotics related algorithms with nice visualizations and source code. I covered this project in Weekly Robotics #2 but recently I visited the repository again and I was surprised how much it grew since August 2018. Big thanks to Atsushi Sakai and all the maintainers of the project!
5) NASA Climbing Robot Scales Cliffs and Looks for Life.
INFO: This 4 minute documentary from NASA JPL showcases the LEMUR (Limbed Excursion Mechanical Utility Robot) robot with micro-spine grippers in its feet allowing it to scale rock walls. The LiDAR setup looks quite interesting - it looks like a sensor is placed at the end of a rotating boom allowing the robot to createa a 3D map of the wall while it's climbing it.
6) Build Your Own Selfie Drone With Computer Vision.
INFO: This Hackaday post showcases a video tutorial by YouTube user geaxgx1 on enabling a DJI Ryze Tello to follow a person. The author is using openpose library for pose estimation from the video feed. You can find the geaxgx1 source code in his GitHub repository
7) Publication of the Week - A Field‐tested Robotic Harvesting System for Iceberg Lettuce (2019).
INFO: I found this paper through this article from the University of Cambridge. The system developed consists of an UR10 robot arm with custom end-effector, two cameras and a non-actuated mobile platform. The system is controlled using ROS and is using two convolutional neural networks (CNN): one for lettuce localization and the other for lettuce classification. I especially liked the notes about moving the system from the lab to the field and noticing a calibration is needed (it was achieved using Aruco markers). The average cycle time achieved by the team during trials was 31.7s, mainly due to the end-effector weight of 8 kg.
1) Locus Robotics (Wilmington, MA, US) - Software Engineer - Systems.
INFO: Locus Robotics' innovative autonomous mobile robots make it easy to optimize your warehouse operation, respond to e-commerce volume growth and seasonal peaks while giving you control over your labor costs.
2) Iron Ox (San Carlos, CA, US) - Software Architect.
INFO: Iron Ox is reimagining the modern farm, utilizing robotics and AI to grow fresh, consistent, and responsibly farmed produce for everyone. Our experienced team of growers, plant scientists, engineers, and innovators are passionate about deeply understanding and developing this new wave of technology to feed an ever-growing population.
Weekly Robotics #47
Last Sunday we've reached 1000 e-mail subscribers! This is a major milestone for Weekly Robotics and I'm really grateful for getting this far thanks to you! Starting in 2 weeks (after issue #49) I'll be heading out for a 3 week holiday, therefore Weekly Robotics will enter 'minimum support mode'. You will still get your weekly dose of interesting robotics news and projects but with minimal redaction. And if you happen to be in Norway and want to meet and talk robotics, feel free to contact me. Coffee is on me!
1) Reinforce Your 3D Prints with Steel.
INFO: This video by Brauns CNC explores a technique of reinforcing 3D prints with steel wire. After reinforcement the author performs a destructive tensile testing on 3 types of barts that were printed in pure plastic and reinforced with steel and observing an increase in strength in the range of 55.6% to 107.5%.
2) Jumping Space Robot 'Flies' Like a Spacecraft.
INFO: If you need to move around low gravity environment such as moon, why not try jumping? SpaceBok is the quadruped robot designed by a Swiss student team from ETH Zurich and Zhaw Zurich. The robot is using dynamic walking that allows gaits with full flight phases to get around low gravity environments. The robot is using a reaction wheel to stabilize itself in the air (you can see it in action in the video featured in the article). I really liked the test setup with a free floating platform and the robot mounted sideways to it!
3) Robot-ants that Can Jump, Communicate and Work Together.
INFO: Researchers at EPFL Professor Jamie Paik's Laboratory had created tiny robots that weigh only 10 grams and are based on PCBs that can be folded to form a 3D shape of the robot and can accommodate all the robot components. The robots can move using shape-memory alloy actuators. For more information about the folding robots you might want to check out this TED talk in which Jamie paik talks about the robots her group is working on (origami haptic feedback devices look interesting).
4) ROS 2 Command Line Interface.
INFO: This short post by Jeremie Deray goes into how the command line interface tools had changed between ROS and ROS2 and specifies some of the ones that were freshly contributed by Ubuntu engineers.
5) OpenPnP - Open Source SMT Pick and Place System.
INFO: OpenPnp is a ready to run software for pick and place machines. The software supports various designs and is in active development. I found this project on YouTube utilizing OpenPnP very satisfactory to watch.
6) Developing Semi-automatic Nuclear Decommissioning Robots.
Lancaster University
INFO: Engineers from Lancaster University are building a semi-autonomous robot for handling nuclear waste. The robot is a mobile platform with two manipulators capable of grasping and cutting metal parts. The semi-autonomy of the robot allows the operator to select parts the robot should perform tasks on. For more information about the system you can check the Open Access publication about it.
7) Publication of the Week - Dragonfly: A Rotorcraft Lander Concept for Scientific Exploration at Titan (2018).
INFO: As promised in the previous issue here is a publication that introduces Dragonfly multirotor destined for Titan. Interestingly the first aircraft suggested for similar mission was a helicopter, however the idea was dropped due to the mechanical complexity of single rotor aircrafts. Even though the aircraft would perform just fine in a 4-rotor setup the 80rotor in coaxial configuration was chosen for redundancy. I really enjoyed the insights about the energy required to send science data to earth: "Missions with high-gain antennas (HGAs) empiri-cally require about 5 mJ per bit per astronomical unit".
1) Humble Book Bundle: Programmable Boards by Make Community.
INFO: In this Humble Book Bundle you can grab various books related to single board computers, microcontrollers, sensors and even FPGAs. If you purchase this bundle through the above affiliated link you can choose to support Weekly Robotics.
1) Magazino (Munich, Germany) - Robot Deployment Engineer.
INFO: Magazino develops and builds intelligent, mobile robots for intralogistics.
2) ARM (Cambridge, UK) - Embedded Software Engineer - Automotive and Safety.
INFO: The Arm Open Source Software group enables partners to build software on Arm IP-based systems. We develop and contribute to open source software (OSS) projects, providing essential reference implementations and optimisations to key software system components, and also validated software stacks for Arm IP-based reference platforms used in intelligent devices.
Weekly Robotics #46
Weekly Robotics Q2 2019 report is available! The short story is the newsletter is growing and as I'm writing this we are at 993 e-mail subscribers. Enjoy the read!
1) NASA's Dragonfly Will Fly Around Titan Looking for Origins, Signs of Life .
INFO: In 2026 NASA will launch Dragonfly mission and it will take the mission 8 years to arrive on Titan. Dragonfly will be the first multirotor flown by NASA on an extraterrestrial body. The aircraft itself will be a coaxial octorotor (it has 4 arms, each hosting 2 propellers), will weigh 450 kg (990 lbs) and will be powered by RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator). The baseline mission is planned to last 2.7 years. We will cover Dragonfly in detail in the publication of the week section of the issue #47.
2) RoboCup 2019.
INFO: Today RoboCup 2019 is wrapping up (next time we will inform you way in advance!). RoboCup is an annual robotics competition with various leagues that's mostly known from the Robot Soccer League. The official goal of RoboCup project is: "By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup". Although the event is most likely finished now you can still view the official livestreams and as pointed out by Lutz the streams provided by Nao Devils seem to be particularly good.
3) 'Boaty McBoatface' shows promising future of AUVs.
The Robot Report
INFO: Boaty McBoatface (if you've missed the origin of it's name then Wikipedia has you covered) traversed more than 180 km (112 mi) autonomously at depths of up to 4 km (2.5 mi). During the mission Boaty measured the temperature, saltiness and turbulence of the water at the bottom of the ocean in order to map better the effects of global warming on the rise of sea levels. You can read about the mission on the University of Southampton website. We also recommend reading the article on Robot Report as it gives quite a nice overview of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle market.
4) Px4 Developers Summit Presentations.
INFO: The above YouTube playlist contains the presentations from Px4 (an open source flight control software) that took place on June 20-21st in Zurich, Switzerland.
5) First-ever Successful Mind-controlled Robotic Arm Without Brain Implants.
INFO: Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University managed to use a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) to allow humans to make a robot arm follow a cursor on a screen. The team plans to conduct clinical trials in the near future. You can see the video of the robot in action on YouTube.
6) Study: Social Robots Can Benefit Hospitalized Children.
INFO: Researchers from MIT Media Lab, Boston Children's Hospital and Northeastern University did a study on the effects of using Huggable, an animatronic teddy bear with hospitalized children. During the trials the robot was remotely operated by a specialist that could move Huggable's body actions, gaze and facial expressions as well as speak to the microphone to have their voice transformed into the bear's voice. In the future the researchers hope to make the robot autonomous.
7) Cutting the Power Cord For the First Untethered Flight.
Wyss Institute
Robobee, a 259 miligram flapping wing robot that uses 120 miliwatts of power, performed the first untethered flight. The robot is currently powered with solar cells (each weighting 10 mg).
8) Publication of the Week - Engineering a Safer World: Systems Thinking Applied to Safety (2011).
MIT Press
INFO: This Open Access book by Nancy G. Leveson is offers a view on new approaches to safety engineering. The book contains many examples of safety failures and although I still didn't finish it I can highly recommend it. Since the book is open access you can download it as a PDF or buy it from any source listed on the site.
Big thanks to Lutz for sending us the information about RoboCup! If you know of something that we should cover then feel free to contact Mat.
1) ROS Web Tutorial Part 2 - Working With Cameras.
INFO: In this intermediate tutorial I'm showing how to use ROS with UVC enabled USB cameras and a computer running Ubuntu. There will be one more tutorial in the series about using web video server.
1) University of Liverpool / Department of Computer Science (Daresbury, UK) - Robotics & AI Software Development Engineer.
INFO: The University of Liverpool is one of the UK's leading research universities with a reputation nationally and internationally for high quality research.
2) Veo Robotics (Waltham, MA, US) - Various Positions.
INFO: Veo Robotics is transforming manufacturing with products that incorporate advanced computer vision, 3D sensing, and AI. Our first product lets high-performance industrial robots work collaboratively with people to enable much more flexible, productive, and efficient manufacturing workcells.
Weekly Robotics Q2 2019 report
Summer is here! And, wow, we can really feel it in central Europe.
I decided to start doing quarterly updates with the newsletter statistics and future plans starting now! I hope that you will enjoy reading this report as much as I enjoyed making it.
Email Subscribers
We ended this quarter with 978 email subscribers (I was really hoping to reach 1k subscribers for this update, but you can't always get what you want). Here is how the number of subscribers changed since the beginning of the newsletter:
Weekly Robotics started this quarter with 664 email subscribers, meaning that we observed a 47% growth in subscribers in the past 3 months. I hope we can keep up this rate of growth for the foreseeable future.
Website Traffic
One of the goals I set for the Weekly Robotics was to make every issue of the newsletter available online and easily accessible to everyone, even if they are not subscribed via email. In some weeks I saw quite a big spikes in the number of users visiting the site, even though I kept using the same channels for sharing the information about the new issues and we didn't run any ad campaigns just yet.
According to Google Analytics we had 6.8k users and 9.3k sessions in the last quarter, increasing the traffic by 125% compared to the last quarter.
Time Spent on the Newsletter
This quarter I started logging time spent on the Newsletter. This includes all the research for every issue, development of tools, writing reports etc. Basically I logged every minute spent on the work related to the newsletter and the total time I spent these months came to 80:49:36 and there was only one week in which I spent under 4 hours working on Weekly Robotics:
Upgrades and future plans
There are 3 things we improved in the quarter and a day:
- Introducing the announcement section in WR #32 (the last day of Q1!)
- Adding header image starting with WR #37 (5th of May)
- Creating Awesome Weekly Robotics database and hosting it on WR and GitHub (9th of June)
The plan for Q3 2019
There is a single goal for me for Q3: to automate the newsletter workflow and look into self-hosted email delivery platform.
Long Term Goals
Here are some of the long term goals that I'm hoping to achieve this calendar year with Weekly Robotics:
- Website redesign - especially looking into the structure of the website menu and maybe adding a landing page (while keeping the newsletter archive intact)
- Finding the first sponsor/contributor for the newsletter
- Starting a discussion group - either some kind of forum or a Slack channel
Thanks a lot for being part of Weekly Robotics. I hope that you continue enjoying this newsletter! If you have any thoughts on this report don't hesitate to reach out.

ACS meets at 6pm the second Tuesday of the month, followed by the Club meeting at 7pm.
Net Controls Needed
Here's an update on the net control dates filled and not filled. As you
can see, many opportunities exist for those who have not yet taken
advantage of this experience. Our hope is to get everyone to do this
more than once, even regularly, not only to share the work, but to gain
experience and confidence on the air in a fairly low pressure
situation. Experienced operators are necessary to handle these nets
too, as they provide good examples of how others might handle the net.
And you never know when you might be in the position of having to be a
net control because no one else is around, licensed and trained.

Net Control Instructions
If you are scheduled to handle one of the ACS net control sessions please read over these documentation instructions.
1. If you have forgotten which day you are acting net control, you may always check the calendar at the ACS website. If you need someone to handle your scheduled night for any reason, just let me know.
2. We would like to start keeping electronic records of net participation. To that end, you may download an Excel file at www.lincolncountyacs.org at the "Documents" tab. The file is named "Net Roster Excel Format."
If you don't have Microsoft's Excel software, you can save the file, and open it using the OpenOffice software (available for free at www.openoffice.org).
3. You may enter check-ins directly onto the spreadsheet or transfer your handwritten notes to the spreadsheet if you prefer. Once completed, if you would then please convert the file to an Adobe PDF saving it using the naming convention of YYMMDD North Net (or South Net). For example the south net on March 27, 2012 would be named 120327 North Net.pdf or 120327 South Net.pdf. If you cannot convert the file, you can send the spreadsheet file to Doug Holbrook and he will happily convert it for the records.
In any event, once you have created the file, please send it to Doug, who will be archiving for the Lincoln County EOC records.
If you have any difficulties, questions, or need assistance with any of this, please let Doug know, and thank you in advance for your help and continued volunteer efforts.
