Recently on Think Tech Radio, Dr. Keli'i Akina, Grassroot Institute president, asks former Honolulu mayor Mufi Hannemann about his controversial decision to empty sewage from a failed pump directly into the Ala Wai Canal bordering Waikiki, resulting in years of unsightly repair and recovery work. Hannemann tells how this was an example of leaders needing courage to take unpopular but necessary stands despite the political fallout. The conversation continues with a focus on what it takes to be a leader of influence in Hawaii, regardless of political party, and Hannemann's work in building leaders through professional mentoring programs.

New PE Centre demonstrates efficient and minimalist structural solutions
When Cox Richardson architects won a design competition for a new project at Shore School in Sydney, they immediately came to TTW for structural and civil advice. Currently in its initial design phase, the new Physical Education Centre will demonstrate efficient and minimalist structural solutions, with focus on costs, buildability, and site restrictions paramount.
The 4-storey building will feature 35m spanning portal frames; 35m spanning floor to floor steel trusses; curved/vaulted roof profile with ETFE in places; and deep excavation within close proximity to existing structures and public areas, which are to remain in use throughout the construction.
This is a high profile endeavour that marks the largest building project in the history of the school. TTW engineers achieved major modifications to the existing structure (such as new intermediate mezzanine floors, raised roofs, and a number of structural post removals) while paying close attention to cost, simplicity, weight minimisation, and ease of buildability.
Client: Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore)
Architect: Cox Richardson
Value: $75M
Completion: 2019
Sector: School & Colleges
Services: Structural, Civil, Traffic

Sunshine at Dafen Pond
Over the last couple of weeks the pond area has really been looking lovely. The swans are enjoying the sun and lounging around on the water. The ducks however are spending a lot of the time in the shade and just going on the water now and again to have a stretch.
There are many beautiful butterfly and damselflies all along side the river. Buds are opening on the wildflowers giving a lovely splash of colour. The moorhens have been very lively and have made me laugh with their bickering and antics. I am concerned though as a few weeks back I had seen a very young moorhen but have not seen it since!!!
We have such a beautiful place on our doorstep which many people do visit but I am sure many more would benefit from going to see it. Please don't forget to use the bins provided.

The Tech Secrets Behind a Remote First Impression
It is important to know that it will not take one a second to decide whether he can trust you or not. Unfortunately, this is something that your brain cannot do due to the fact that it does not take a conscious decision to reason your way out of the first impression. Therefore, it is necessary that you show your best part when you are meeting someone for the first time be it happens at professional level or personal circumstances. One thing with first impressions is that they will decide your first score for the people you meet with. But one of the hardest things is knowing how you can change the negative things that some people think about you. Assuming you are in business they will depict your success and the professionalism that you display with your outfit. Here are some of how you can remotely create a good first impression.
One way of doing this is through visio-meeting. When you decide to join a visio-conference with your interlocutor you will need to create a good impression. This should start by choosing a quiet room which can probably be your home or you can rent an office. This should be followed by decluttering the room to make it have a neat background. Another thing that you should do is to inform your friends that you will have meeting to prevent them from bursting into the room accidentally. In addition to that, you should also make sure that you put your best outfit. In case of an accident you should find a better way of covering it.
Another way of doing this is through phone call. One thing with most people is that they don't take phone calls seriously and they need to. You should also make sure you dress professionally as this will help in boosting your confidence even though it is not important. It is also important that you find a quiet room to minimize background noises and interruptions. You can as well use powerful microphones that block all background noises and amplifies the sound of your voice. This is important in improving the quality of your voice which aims at making a clear conversation. Another important thing is to smile as this will show that you are friendly.
One thing with remote first impression is that it will be determined by the tech you use. For instance, when you work with a high quality webcam you are likely to be praised for that and vice versa when you are using a low quality webcam.

Massachusetts Pistol Permit/Firearms Safety Class For MA or out of State Residents
This course is approved by The MA State Police for the application of obtaining a MA Pistol Permit.
Upon completion of this course you will be able to apply to your local municipality (if you are a MA resident) or the MA Department of Public Safety (if you are an out of state resident).
This is approximately 3 hrs of classroom followed by a live fire at the range. MA does not require live fire however, we believe that in order to truly understand and respect firearms we have every student shoot a revolver and a semi-automatic firearm.
In the class we discuss MA laws pertaining to carry, transportation, use of force and a host of other topics that will give you the confidence you need when you leave.
- $60 - Per student
- $30 - If you have previously attended the CT class with NETT Academy
Visit our Calendar for MA Class Dates. Some of our dates include both certificates. If you are only looking to for one state you may sign up for the class and take the test specific for the state you are seeking a certificate from. If you already have a CT permit and are seeking a MA certificate than there is no live fore portion to complete.

|Gerbes, Alexander L.; Wernze, Heinrich; Arendt, Rainer M.; Riedel, Angelika; Sauerbruch, Tilman; Paumgartner, Gustav (1989): Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis. In: Hepatology, Vol. 9: pp. 417-422
The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated. Central volume stimulation was achieved in 21 patients with cirrhosis, 11 without and 10 with ascites, and 25 healthy controls by 1-hr head-out water immersion. Immersion prompted a highly significant (p<0.001) increase of atrial natriuretic factor plasma concentrations in cirrhotic patients without ascites from 8.5 ± 1.3 fmoles per ml to 16.5 ± 2.6 fmoles per ml, comparable to the stimulation in control subjects (6.0 ± 0.6 fmoles per ml to 13.6 ± 2.6 fmoles per ml). In cirrhotic patients with ascites, atrial natriuretic factor increase (from 7.7 ± 1.3 fmoles per ml to 11.4 ± 2.3 fmoles per ml) was blunted (p<0.05). Plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration were elevated in cirrhotic patients, especially in the presence of ascites. Following immersion, plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration were reduced similarly in all groups. Water immersion induced a more pronounced natriuresis and diuresis in control subjects than in cirrhotic patients. Neither atrial natriuretic factor nor plasma renin activity nor plasma aldosterone concentration alone correlated to sodium excretion. However, atrial natriuretic factor to plasma aldosterone concentration ratios were closely correlated to basal and stimulated natriuresis in cirrhotic patients, particularly in those with ascites. These data suggest that atrial natriuretic factor and the renin-aldosterone system influence volume regulation in patients with cirrhosis.

Albert Einstein compared life to riding a bicycle:
Stand still and you'll fall.
Making sure that we did't stand still has been a key focus since we started telling travel stories more than 20 years ago. What began as a personal travel blog, gradually broadened into a magazine-type website, supported by e-mail and a presence across social media.
However, in the past year, we started moving in a slightly different direction again – and all because of one word:
An astonishing change
It became glaringly obvious that our presence on Instragram was substantially changing how we delivered content about travel, destinations, attractions, hotels and tourism.
And it wasn't only us.
Story-tellers everywhere – whether writers, photographers, artists, photo-journalists or musicians – were moving to Instagram and producing some astonishing and unprecedented material.
We could see that Instagram had very quickly evolved into the world's most successful magazine – and probably the most engaging media ever.
The ability to transport people to the point of a story has always been the aim – to make you feel as if you're right there.
Instagram does this amazingly well – blending words, photos, video, GIFs and images like never before, to tell the story in many dimensions.
A no-brainer
Progressive travel and tourism brands also quickly recognised the potential – and for us it soon became a no-brainer.
We began planning changes early last year – firstly focused on promoting and cementing the 'Memorable' tag that has long linked our travel storytelling.
Then, a few months ago, we expanded our Instagram presence to three sites:
From now on, much more of our travel storytelling will focus on these sites – backed by this site and our existing presence on Twitter, at LinkedIn and at Facebook
We can also be found on Pinterest – and in our home city of Newcastle, Australia, we have a monthly newspaper column.
Many of you have been following us since we started – and it would be great to share this exciting move with you.
And if you are not on Instagram yet, here's how to do it. Once you have your account, it's easy to Follow us — and we'll Follow you.

To be greeted by name by your pilot, given information on the area during the flight, and to be treated as a person instead of a seat number takes some getting used to! Beyond that, the massive time savings over the ferry system gave us hours on each end of our trip that would have been lost in transit. The islands were beautiful and a wonderful getaway.

We all know that businesses have to be concerned about money, but what makes a business a good business is that they look beyond the money, and take care of people.

Once again, your staff has provided excellent service for me. On January 14, I flew from Orcas to Bellingham, and Grady was my pilot. He was exactly on time, courteous, and very pleasant. My afternoon flight back to Orcas was cancelled due to weather, and because time was quite short, Holly made a reservation with the Bellair shuttle service and even drove me to the main terminal of the airport to meet the Bellair driver. This was very considerate of her and saved me a much longer wait. I arrived back on Orcas via the ferry early in the evening. What Grady and Holly did for me on Monday reinforces how much I admire the way Northwest Sky Ferry is managed and reconfirms how much you care for your customers. You provide a much-needed service for Orcas Island residents, and I, for one, am ever so grateful. With thanks to you, Grady, and Holly.

After leaving the FIX conference, I couldn't help but feel inspired, energized and quite frankly, a bit intimidated (despite an empowered talk on imposter syndrome).
Hearing women share their leadership stories, entrepreneurial endeavors and academic achievements, I was left in awe of this accomplished group of providers.
But as I often feel after big conferences, the voice I didn't hear loud enough was that of the providers in the trenches . . . the stories from our community EM providers.
Having trained in an ivory tower of medicine beneath the skyscrapers of a major metropolis, I was conditioned to believe there is nothing harder than the rigors of academic EM. Success resided in the grant application, the grand rounds lecture, the journal submission. These academic EDs are stroke and cardiac institutes of excellence, level one trauma centers, social nets for large urban communities. Graduates of these programs have encountered both "bread and butter" EM as well as the complications of a transplant and LVAD patient. When I finished residency, I felt that I had trained in the best environment possible and couldn't perceive of a setting as challenging and rewarding as where I'd been.
But now that I've spent some time in the trenches of community EM, I realize how naive I was as a young graduate.
What tests your pace more than a full waiting room in a demanding university ED? Being single coverage in a busy community one . . . on an overnight 12-hour shift. No resident, no mid-level, no scribe. Perhaps there is a lac or two waiting to be seen, a Colles that needs reduction/splinting and a run of the mill abdominal pain . . . that you'll get to . . . right after you see the higher triaged chest pain and syncope. And you know full well that when you finish up the evaluation on those first few patients, no one will have scooped up those lower triaged, time-intensive procedures or met the two ambulances that arrived in the meantime, because IT'S. JUST. YOU.
It's not that you don't have some help, some consult services, you do . . . but mostly by phone. That friendly surgeon may be thirty minutes away when that dialysis fistula won't stop bleeding (and it's bleeding fast). A STEMI isn't whisked upstairs in five minutes because the nearest cath lab is a thirty-minute life flight away (if the weather is good enough to fly) and that level 1 trauma center . . . well that's you in a critical access hospital. TPA is your call on your assessment alone; not the stroke team, not the neurointerventionalist. There is no turf of procedures; no med student to shakily sew that lac, no Ortho or EM resident to reduce/splint that Colles, no surgical or EM senior to place that chest tube. And that's the bread and butter EM.
What's much harder in community medicine are the things that don't roll in the door every day but will arrive in your career now and then just to take your breath away, to push your skills and challenge your clinical judgement.
A pediatric epiglottitis at 4 am, audible stridor. You promptly start antibiotics and steroids, but ultimately this child requires the PICU which will necessitate transfer an hour away. There is no ENT or anesthesia provider to back up your intubation. Stridor improves, he is protecting his airway at the moment, but is he stable for transfer without a tube? Tough call and no shared responsibility on this one. It is all you.
A traumatic eye injury arrives with the rare but dreaded retrobulbar hematoma. You've never even observed a lateral canthotomy; there is no ophthalmologist to guide you. It's time to scan that Roberts and Hedges and get it done.
Angioedema with airway compromise, no ENT or anesthesia back up on the night shift. You've tried direct laryngoscopy, glidescope and bougie without success. Now, that cricothyrotomy kit that's been beckoning from the sidelines gets opened, when you finally, shakenly and gratefully pass a 5.5 ET with a size 4 miller.
And then there are those cases that sting for years and nearly break you — the pediatric arrests. When you are alone in that ED, no colleagues to co-manage, no PICU to assist, no chaplain or social worker at night to help mitigate the pain when all of your efforts fail and voice cracking, you tell that mother, their child is gone.
And somewhere in those years since residency you became a mother too, and it hurts that much worse because you now know what it means to be a mom and love that deeply.
These are the challenges in community and rural EMs. But there are also amazing rewards. You have exceptional skills, because you do every line, intubation, lumbar puncture, cardioversion and reduction that walks through that door. I have seen EM community docs deftly float pacers, perform cardiocenteses, place suprapubic catheters, all without the back up of a specialist. You have mastered the multitask, the solo coverage, rushing to the floor for a code or delivery while still caring for those in your own department. You have survived those twelve-hour days that became fifteen because that critical care patient arrived twenty minutes before your relief did. You have incredible experience, because you work a full clinical schedule. You do not have a buy down or shift reduction to teach residents, conduct research, chair committees or prepare podcasts.
Your niche is clinical emergency medicine and your domain isn't the lab or lecture hall, it is the frontline of the ED. You provide exceptional care in resource limited settings to those that matter most — your patients, your community.
You are leadership in your field. You are excellence in emergency medicine.

Children & Youth Ministry 2019-2020 Calendar
Worship is a place for families. Your children are an important part of the church and are always welcome to worship. Children can build their own busy bag with materials outside the rear sanctuary doors. Activity tables in front of the side pews have coloring sheets, puzzles, and paper. Parents can site nearby and assist as needed. A staffed nursery, for ages 0 - 3 years is located in the education wing. Faith offers two Sunday school sessions: 9am and 10:30am.
Wednesday nights you can eat as a family from 5:30-6:30 and then participate in programs for all ages (including adults!) from 6:30-7:30 pm.
Activity Tables: For young children, to help on the days where there may be an extra wiggle or two (everyone has those days), there are activity tables in the front of the sanctuary to keep children busy with space for parents to sit nearby and assist as needed.
Busy Bags: Located right outside the sanctuary doors, your child can fill bags with different activities of their choice to use during worship.
Large Screen Worship Alternative: A large screen outside the sanctuary (with extra toys) is an alternative place for families to participate in worship.
Nursery: Our staffed nursery provides a safe and nurturing environment during worship services for ages 0-3.
Sunday School: Children 3 year old - 6th grade start in worship with parents and leave after the children's message for Sunday morning church school. Through songs, crafts and activities, children dig deeper into the gospel message.
Music: 3 year old - 2nd grade children's choir and handbells, 10-10:30.
Faith seeks to provide a safe and secure environment for children who participate in programs and activities. All persons who desire to work with the children participating in our programs and activities will be screened.

Naomi Ehrich Leonard (Princeton University, USA)
On the Nonlinear Dynamics of Collective Decision-Making in Nature and Design
The successful deployment of complex multi-agent systems requires agent-level control strategies that guarantee system-level dynamics that are robust and adaptive. Animal groups provide enormous inspiration given their observed robust and adaptive dynamics. I will describe a realization of collective decision-making that allows for rigorous study of mechanisms of collective animal behavior and design of distributed strategies for collective dynamics.
Bio: Naomi Ehrich Leonard is a control theorist whose work involves design and analysis of feedback and interconnection in complex, dynamical systems. Her recent focus is on mechanisms of collective motion and collective decision-making for multi-agent systems in nature (analysis of animal and human groups) and in engineering (design of robotic teams). She has applied her work to study collective dynamics of killifish, starlings, honeybees, and caribou, and has explored what happens when dancers use structured improvisation modeled after flocking. She led a multidisciplinary ocean sensing project with a month-long deployment of an automated, adaptive network of underwater robotic vehicles in Monterey Bay, CA. Leonard is the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and an associated faculty member of the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. She is a MacArthur Fellow and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
John H. Conway (Princeton University, USA)
Bio: John H. Conway is a British mathematician active in the theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory and coding theory. He has also contributed to many branches of recreational mathematics, notably the invention of the cellular automaton called the Game of Life. He is currently Professor of Mathematics and John Von Neumann Professor in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. He has also begun lecturing at CUNY's Queens College. He studied at Cambridge, where he started research under Harold Davenport. He received the Berwick Prize (1971), was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (1981), was the first recipient of the Pólya Prize (LMS) (1987), won the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics (1998) and received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition (2000) of the American Mathematical Society. He has an Erdős number of one.
Karl Sims (Digital Media Artist)
Bio: Karl Sims is a digital media artist, computer graphics research scientist, and software entrepreneur. He is the founder of GenArts, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, which creates special effects software for the motion picture industry. He previously held positions at Thinking Machines Corporation, Optomystic, and Whitney/Demos Productions. Karl studied computer graphics at the MIT Media Lab, and Life Sciences as an undergraduate at MIT. He is the recipient of various awards including two ARS Electronica Golden Nicas and a MacArthur Fellowship Award.
Lee Cronin (University of Glasgow, UK)
Hybrid Chemo-Robotic Systems for Embodied Chemical Evolution
How did chemistry turn into biology and what is the role of evolution in the emergence of life and the design of ALIFE? I will discuss how the fields of chemistry, robotics, computer science are coming together to explore this problem viewing the assembly of life as a chemical-computational problem embodied in a non-conventional 'hetrotic' computing architecture, and using this idea to search for, and design new, artificial life systems.
Bio: The focus of Cronin's work is understanding and controlling self-assembly and self-organisation in Chemistry to develop functional molecular and nano-molecular chemical systems; linking architectural design with function and recently engineering system-level functions (e.g. coupled catalytic self-assembly, emergence of inorganic materials and fabrication of inorganic cells that allow complex cooperative behaviours). Much of this work is converging on exploring the assembly and engineering of emergent chemical systems. One target is the development of 'inorganic biology' i.e. a biological system beyond the naturally occurring 'organic biology' found on planet earth. Not only does this have ramifications for the origin of life on earth, elsewhere in the universe, the realisation of a living system assembled from the bottom up would also lead to a range of new technologies. To achieve his aims, Cronin and his group regularly collaborate with Physical, Theoretical, Organic, Materials, and Biological Chemists as well as Scientists in Chemical and Electrical Engineering, Physics and Medicine. It is also worth pointing out that the expertise in the Cronin group is unique bringing together chemists, chemical engineers, reaction modelling, complex system modelling, evolutionary theory, synthetic biology, robotics and AI.
Jesse Louis-Rosenberg (Nervous System)
Growing Objects
Through the creation of consumer products, we explore origins of complex form and pattern. How does employing natural simulation for design give us a unique prospective on complex systems and emergent structures? We'll discuss our work with various systems including Laplacian growth, reaction diffusion, auxin flux canalization, and differential growth.
Bio: Jesse Louis-Rosenberg is the co-founder of Nervous System, a generative design studio that works at the intersection of art, science, and technology. His work focuses on the application of methods in numerical simulation and computational geometry to design. Nervous System creates affordable, customizable and one-of-a-kind products based on natural systems. However, instead of merely mimicking the natural world, the work poses the question what happens when co-opt these methods for design. He attended MIT, studying Mathematics and previously worked as a consultant for Gehry Technologies in building modeling and design automation.

Since there is no thumb-turn style lock on the interior side of the deadbolt, intruders cannot unlock the door by breaking a window and reaching inside. While a double cylinder does provide enhanced security, it also poses a safety hazard as residents could be locked inside in an event of a fire.

Girl has crush on guy.
After days of silence, they finally talk and names are known.
Waves and hellos and how- dos become routine thanks to the fact that the guy invariably is exiting his house to go somewhere or the other while the girl is trying to put one foot in front of the other in the never ending battle to lose weight.
Guy going to Supermarket, malls… wherever… take your pick.
Guy says to girl that she be welcome to come along with him.
Girl tags along and it could be the start of something bootiful… no?
What actually happens in my world:
Girl has crush on guy.
Girl spends evenings walking under the premise of losing weight, in reality day dreaming of opportunity to say hi and stun him with scintillating conversation should he step out of the house and yet the minute he does, head snaps forward with military precision and girl proceeds to forward march double time proverbially smacking her forehead for the rest of the night.
Finally, she gets the courage to say hello and some conversation gets under way progressing to occasional waves and howdy-doos as she walks and he heads to his car. And even a toot of a horn as he drives past…
One evening, as the girl walks, guy comes out of the house, dressed in black and discloses that he be heading out to Jinnah Super
States very nicely that girl be welcome to come along with him if she wants.
Over the loud beating of her heart, girl smiles, and manages to tell the guy, no thanks, have a good time and then stands there waving him off and actually grins when he toots the horn at her…
Okay, this is bad. Tooting horns usually piss me off, and here I actually grin and wave. Oh well, I guess there are toots and then there are toots…
But seriously… Where in God's name am I getting off here? And what am I doing? Actually, I'm okay. Life's a little interesting and a little fun. And it's fun playing with mental scenarios that probably would never come to be and store away a tidbit to smile about when I'm in class.
Regretably though, I'm not much on action. I broke that rule a teensy bit when I sent him the cake (but I was actually just being neighborly and thanking him for his help the other day) and have bended it further to actually talk to him a little (hey, he's a neighbor and I've never been one not to talk anyway) but it won't go beyond that. Visions of candle-light dinners or even walking together in the street are going to stay well behing my eyes where I can clap them closed when they get weird.
Despite my bleeding heart envisioning him out for a night on the town, being the ogler or the oglee, there is no way I would have accepted the invite anyhow and it's enough to leave me cheerful that he asked. Besides, where is the charm of the crush and the thrill of forbidden amore if it gets real?
And for my concerned friends, why do you think I haven't mentioned the name? He probably already thinks I'm insane for walking in this weather and if he thinks I'm stalking him, that will be the end of that… Although, seeing him running back inside and hiding behind curtains or his mom would be pretty darn amusing but it is more fun this way. And I just might get enough exercise to lose weight… So let's hope that this remains here and he remains unaware of it. Don't want to give the game away, now do we?

When it comes to bond investing, most people are only familiar with one type of bond. That type being savings bonds. Savings bonds are often given to younger individuals to help pay for future educational expenses like college. While savings bonds are great, there are other types of bonds that are far more attractive. You can make money investing in bonds. Let's take a look at two types of bonds that are popular with long term investors.
Treasury Bonds
First up are Treasury bonds. Treasury bonds were designed for serious investors. They are long term government securities that have a maturity date of at least 10 years. The longest Treasury security has 30 years until maturity. They pay interest every six months and are sold in lots of $1,000. These bonds are most attractive when interest rates are very high. Treasury bonds are great for locking in a high rate of interest for an extended time. You can currently purchase a 30-year treasury bond yielding 4.5%.
Here's how it works.
Let's say you purchased a 10-year bond for $1,000 with a 5 percent interest rate. You will receive an interest payment of $25 every six months. These payments will continue for 10 years. After the 10th year, you would redeem the bonds and receive your full $1,000 investment back.
The great thing about bonds is that they allow you to have a fixed income stream. Every six months, you know that you will be receiving a payment. An added bonus is that you can always sell the bond to another investor if you choose to.
Corporate Bonds
My favorite types of bonds are corporate bonds. Corporate bonds are debt securities that are issued by an individual company. Companies like Coca Cola and Pepsi issue corporate bonds for a variety of reasons. They can be used to finance expansion, raise cash, or retire higher interest debt. Corporate bonds can be purchased in blocks of $1,000 and pay interest semiannually. The maturity date of corporate bonds can vary greatly. Some bonds mature in as little as a year, while others can be held as long as 30 years.
Corporate bonds are known for their higher interest rates. They are rated from AAA to F. A bond with a higher rating pays a lower interest rate than a bond with a higher interest rate. They are priced and listed on major exchanges. Bond prices rise as market interest rates fall, and bond prices fall as interest rates rise.
Corporate bonds have a greater risk than many types of bonds because the individual company backs the bonds. Therefore the interest rates offered on corporate bonds are much higher than other bonds. Corporate bonds are rated based upon the financial strength of the company. Bonds are rated by Moody's and Standard and Poor's. Bonds of the highest quality will receive an AAA rating, whereas bonds of lower quality will receive a CCC or D rating. Corporate bonds can be purchased through a stockbroker or simply by visiting the company's website.
In my opinion, bonds are great for both young and old investors. The dividend payments provide a consistent income stream, and the asset class itself provides diversification outside of equities.

My betrothed and I wanted to run away and get married but her Mom said we cantaloupe ..

Cantaloupes—or muskmelons—are a delicious, heat-loving fruit with a relatively long growing season, making them especially well-suited for southern gardeners. Here's how to grow cantaloupes in your garden!
What is commonly referred to as a 'cantaloupe' is not actually a true cantaloupe—rather, a type of muskmelon. (True cantaloupe has a rough, warty rind and is not widely grown or commercially available in the US.) Their cultural and growing requirements are very similar to other melons and they have a net-like, tan rind, with sweet orange flesh. The names muskmelon and cantaloupe are used interchangeably. We will use the name cantaloupe on this page to avoid confusion.
Cantaloupe was named for Cantalupo, a former papal villa near Rome.
If your muskmelons taste flat, the trouble could be a lack of magnesium in sandy soil. Sweeten the fruit by spraying the vines with this solution: Dissolve 6 ½ tablespoons of Epsom salts and 3 ⅓ tablespoons of borax in 5 gallons of water. Spray the foliage when the vines begin to "run" and again when the fruit is about two inches in diameter.
My betrothed and I wanted to run away and get married but her Mom said we cantaloupe ..
My vines were off to a great start and I even had 3 fruits set. Then pickleworm infested my vines rapidly. They wiped out all the fruits and most of the leaves, and it took weeks to get them under control. I do have new vines sprouting off the main stem, and even a couple male flowers now. Being so late in the season is there still hope for any yield? I'm bordering zone 9b/10a.
I wonder if it is due to very high day heat and then much cooler (sometimes 50 degrees) at night. Also, have had downey/powdery mildew wipe out most of my curcubits. AND curly top has been a problem, too, though I'm not sure the bugs that cause it like melons. Any ideas? Thanks...

Should I put something under the fruit, like cardboard while fruit is still growing, like watermelon?
Hi David,
Yes, putting cardboard or a towel or tarp under the fruit while it's growing can help to protect the underside, but it's not necessary.
I love in Texas it's not hear all the time we have a farmer's market and one gentleman has the sweetest cantaloupe I've ever eaten and his watermelon is excellent the hot sun he is from Pecos Tx!!! I am going to use his seeds thanks for sharing your information!!!!
I bought a delicious cantaloupe (musk melon) from Fairway. It was so good I decided to try to grow my own and gathered the seeds, dried them, stored them in a dark space and planted last year in peat pots and then to small garden. Unbelievable - I got a 14 lb for the first one. The rest were 6 & 7 lbr's. All amazingly delicious. This year I went to my same seeds stored in the same place and planted the same way in pots and out of sunlight to no avail. After 4 weeks I broke open peat pot(s) and none spouted. Can seeds go bad? Any ideas? Thanks
That sounds like it was quite a yield last year! Too bad about this year's seeds. Seeds do go bad eventually (unless frozen and stored professionally), but cantaloupe seeds typically last longer than one or two years if stored properly.
This year, did you plant seeds from last year's fruit or from the year before? If you planted seeds from last year's fruit, it's possible that the plants cross-pollinated with another member of the cucurbit family, producing unviable seeds. However, if you planted that same seeds this year that you have previously had success with, perhaps they were not stored properly or were simply bad seeds. After drying the seeds completely, store them in an air-tight container in a fridge or cool cellar.
We have a melon vine which has produced a few melons, however the melons are cracking open from the base of the fruit before ripening. What causes this? Can we prevent cracking on future melons?
Hi Debbie,
Melons crack due to stress, usually from soil that holds too much water or from inconsistent watering. In the fall, add compost to where you will grow melons next year to make for a well-draining mix. Also, melons enjoy pH of 6.0 to 6.5, so testing the soil never hurts. Plant next year's melons in mounds 6 to 8 inches high to help with drainage as well. For watering, try to water 1 to 2 inches a week when there is no rain.
thank u for the good and point by point information. i am living in south India, Karnataka state. whether it is advisable to grow snap melon in dry hilly area with little water ? which month is suitable to plant seeds? here rain starts at the beginning of june. pl advise me which verity is good . mulching is necessary in dry hill area? watering once in a week is sufficient?
Is there a temperature at which muskmelons will no longer ripen? We are having highs in the 70's this October, with lows in the 50's. But a low of 37 is predicted for one evening later this week, followed by a return to the 50's lows/70's highs. Will temps in the mid/upper 30's stop the ripening process (in which case I'll pick my melons and hope for the best) or will they continue ripening up until frost?
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, and for the first time have planted cantaloupe in my raised gardens. I have two plants and 5 lovely green cantaloupes. However, we will soon be experiencing frost, and I am wondering how susceptible cantaloupes are to frost. I look forward to receiving an email with an answer. Thank you very much.
Hi, Holly: Like all melons and "water-heavy" fruit, cantaloupes are indeed susceptible to frost. You will want to cover them with blankets or towels at night to help retain the earth's warmth and then remove same during the day so that they continue to ripen in the sun. Labor-intensive, but it can be done! Good luck and thanks for asking!
Cantaloupe sprinkled with fresh ground black pepper is great!
Where did the Rocky Ford cantaloupe seeds originally come from 120 years ago? Cantaloupe were not native plants.
The modern melon we know today was not imported but was created by the Burpee company who introduced this cultivar in the early 1880s. This was a different kind of melon with a net-like skin covering. It became known as the Rocky Ford melon (named for the region of Colorado). It was landowner, politician, and entrepreneur George Washington Swink who helped built the melon industry; he transformed the region by developing a canal-based irrigation system; he also introduced honeybees to the region and invented the cantaloupe crate. Later, California and other states built up their melon business and surpassed Colorado.

I grew cantalopes from seed. I never did this before. I didn't know when to pick it. I picked it and cut it open but is was not ripe yet. Is there anything I can do to make it ripe after already cutting it open and taking seeds out.
Once a cantaloupe is harvested off the vine, it will no longer sweeten. There are a few ways to ripen a whole cantaloupe if it was picked to soon, but not when it has been cut into. For melons already cut, you can try to get it to soften a bit by placing it in a container with a little lemon juice or orange juice. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve (storing at room temperature can encourage bacteria). Use within a day or two.
I am growing muskmelons for the first time. I got one round melon and the rest have been flat on the bottom when ripe. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
The most common causes of misshapen melons are poor pollination and/or dry soil or high temperatures. Either one of those extreme weather conditions could have affected your fruit. And the weather could have influenced pollination: it can be (and has been) too hot to achieve effective pollination. In future, try row covers to help to shelter the plant from extreme heat without sacrificing sunlight. The cover also helps to retain moisture—but note that the cover is not a replacement for mulch.
We hope this helps.
I want to work on adaptability of muskmelon on ecological zones. pls kindly help me with relevant materials and guide me on how to be successful in planting to have bumper harvest
My cantaloupe was doing really well and all of a sudden the blooms dropped of and the stems started drooping over instead of standing tall as they had previously. Any ideas about what could be causing the issue?
this sounds like what we call squash bore I bore that enters the vines close to the heart. We had this a year or so ago and everything squash related died. The bore digs into the vine and kills it. it can also harbor overwinter in your garden so if you are suspicious of this pest take all the vines off the garden and destroy them. Look it up on the internet to learn more. Hopefully I am wrong! :)
I live in So. Cal. My biggest problem is earwigs.
What is the best way to keep them from eating my plants?
Earwigs like to hide so set out some traps such as a tuna fish can with ½ inch of oil in the bottom; set near shrubbery and ground cover plantings or against fences. Sink the can into the ground so the top of the can is at soil level. Dump captured earwigs and refill cans with oil.
Also, you need to remove any leaves or weeds or areas where earwigs hide. Never have heavy ground cover such as ivy to grow near vegetable gardens. Watch out for mulches; they often harbor earwigs. Birds (chickens and wild birds) love to eat earwigs so invite them to your garden!
I love using horse manure in my garden, and I'm reading these comments, which say cantaloupe love manure. But I also read the plants like an acidic soil. So what I did was use half of acidic soil and half of manure, planted a few seeds in a pot, covered it with a plastic dome to retain the sun so the seeds germinate. I know I have to wait about a week to see if this worked, but did I use too much manure? And will the manure lower the ph level or raise it? Would really love to have a healthy productive plant this year.

Gloucester Road is so quintessentially Bristolian, it's no surprise it wins the award for having the most independent shops, bars and cafe's than anywhere else in the UK. But whilst so many businesses come and go, the charmingly inviting Cafe Ronak seems to go from strength to strength. I caught up with business owner and manager, Kia, to talk about his labour of love and what he has in the pipeline.
The journey to get to where they are now has been a long and arduous one, packed with learning curves and fuelled with an endless passion. It took just 2 months for Cafe Ronak to transform from an idea into a thriving cafe in one of the most popular shopping streets in Bristol and since first opening, it has maintained it's ethos to evolve with the changing markets. From menu changes to staff changes, to a complete renovation of the building itself, Kia tells me Cafe Ronak is unrecognisable from how it was 7 years ago.
Aged 19, working in Subway, Kia was saving to go travelling to India when his Dad posed the question "how about investing your money in a business?"and like most teenagers at the time, parting with such a large sum of money wasn't an easy decision. At first I just wanted to go to India, but Dad insisted that I went to India but kept some money behind to invest. Every couple of weeks I'd get £100. I still had plenty of money to keep me going over there."
Like any business, the first few months are the hardest and Kia soon realised how tough it would be to set up a successful, popular cafe.
"After three months of opening this place without having a day off, I went to India for four months. When I came back I had so much energy and inspiration, but also guilt. I'd spent the last few months on beaches carving coconuts enjoying the sun, whilst everyone else had been here working hard, so when I finally returned, I had a reserve of energy and was ready to throw myself into the job."
Like all things in life, there isn't a better way to learn than through experience and with no prior background in running a cafe, Kia was free to be imaginative in his approach. Kia absorbed ideas from other local businesses and combining his favourite things from the best places he visited, he was able to build a formula that to this day continues to execute outstanding customer service, wholesome, health conscious food and an ambience that will keep you coming back.
"The changes have been vast, from the manner of service, to the quality of food and the items that we sell. The one thing that has been the same is the love and energy in which we operate with, and that family-friendly all inclusive vibe."
In a city that is so aware of its eating habits and with certified vegan and vegetarian eateries popping up left, right and centre, it was important for the development of Cafe Ronak to keep up with this growing awareness and amend its menu accordingly. Kia spoke to me about his initial reason for creating a menu that can be enjoyed by all, and what he plans to do next.
"We started addressing our menu options three or four years ago when our staff were requesting more vegan and gluten free options. They have always been a key part of our growth and evolution, and with each staff member that comes and goes they leave a bit of themselves and their experience with us. Conscious eating seems to have reached a plateau and we've got some exciting changes coming up over the next few months that will focus on improving it."
But vegans and vegetarians aren't the only groups Ronak have been trying to target; their menu includes sugar free options, gluten free and dairy free options as well. As Kia said, "becoming more health conscious as a whole is the direction we're moving towards but we're also very environmentally conscious. A big part of the business is to retain our ecological stance by reducing our waste, making sure our packaging is biodegradable, and where we can, we source from local producers."
Ronak's menu is heavily influenced by Middle Eastern cuisine but don't worry, all your cafe favourites are on there too, just with a little Ronak twist. Kia recommends the Persian breakfast, the Ronak stack which he describes as "peng a leng" or one of the "fingerlicking good" smoothies. I opted for a home made vegetarian sausage roll with a flavour packed, herby salad with quinoa and puy lentils, accompanied by a much needed iced latte made using our Ethiopian Organic Fairtrade Amharic beans from Wogan Coffee, lots of ice and topped with cold milk, yummy!
If you're in the area, Cafe Ronak is a sure fire way to get a wholesome, healthy meal without breaking the bank. The staff are friendly and welcoming, there is a relaxed atmosphere, and then garden is wonderfully tranquil. Cafe Ronak has been one of the few constants on Gloucester Road over the last few years and I can only imagine that as Kia and his team drive the business forward, it's success will stand for many more years to come.

The Quarter Horse
The lady who commissioned me to draw her quarter horse has just been and collected her drawing so I can now post it on here for all to see. This was an A3 sized portrait of the horse but in a the more unusual format of landscape to get his neck into the picture!
I am going to be starting a triptych of a Spanish horse and rider next for the London exhibition of The Society of Equestrian Artists. Will keep you posted on how it's going, hopefully with some progress pictures if I remember to photograph them!

Beautiful! Can't wait to see the triptych, sounds really interesting. I am so excited about the SEA exhibition this year, can't wait to see it regardless of whether I manage to get anything in or not!ReplyDelete
I am actually going to do a quick different drawing before the triptych I have decided. I am going to teach at Lyme Regis art group tomorrow morning so will need to have one as a demo, not sure which one to do yet but will sort that out later!ReplyDelete
I always look forward to the SEA exhibition - partly because I enjoy handing in day where I get to see some friends I have made over the years within the SEA. Must get some drawings done for it though!!

New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
November 19, 2012
Recent news affecting co-op / condo buyers, sellers, boards and residents. This week, there's no bigger news for boards than of the legislative mess in Albany that will send co-op and condo property taxes sky-high unless Gov. Cuomo and company take action. On the Upper East Side, a co-op board sues a sponsor that won't let go even after 24 years, a doorman charges a management company with allowing racist rants, there's power from the sun in Sunset Park and much more.
Written by Bill Morris on July 02, 2013

But in the roughhouse world of New York real estate, the sponsor — the party who creates a co-op or condo either by converting a rental building or erecting a new structure — is often seen as a villain. Sponsor, in the eyes of many co-op shareholders and condo unit-owners, is one very dirty little word. in part two of our three-part special report on sponsors retaining control past the deadlines set by law, we look at how owning even less than one-third of a co-op's apparent can thwart progress and change.

After a heated set of opening-round matchups (thank you to everyone who voted!), the Most Annoying College Basketball Fanbase Bracket moves on to round two: The Egotistical Eight. We'll all cherish the thrills, the chills, the unnerving fans who stake entirely too much on the fatherly energy of a head basketball coach. But as March Madness moves on, so must our tournament. There can be only one winner.
Our second round has some truly scintillating matchups, dramatic clashes between fanbases who have devoted their all to bugging their opponents, their families, and you, the normal sports fan. Dig in to the matchups below and scroll to the bottom to vote for the "winners."
Blue Bloods Region Championship:
1 Duke vs. 2 Kentucky
Ah, echoes of the 1992 Elite Eight matchup are partly responsible for Duke fans being so annoying. The Blue Devils emerge from a first round matchup with hated rival UNC, the marquee battle of the tournament's first round. The Cameron Crazies stomped the—what are UNC fans even called, anyway?—78% to 22%.
To even a totally impartial journalist, it's hard to believe that any other team is going to stand a chance against the Cameron Crazies. We're talking about the fan base that popularized the AIR BALL taunt, here, people. The whole cheering section is devoted to the craft of public mockery, producing "dirt sheets" before games to really square in on their opponents' insecurities and belittling them within an inch of their life.
On the other side of the group, Kentucky crushed Kansas, 70% to 30% and with good reason: they're simply insufferable. It's honestly tragic that they have to face Duke in this round, because it's possible that we're seeing generational talent get wiped in the early rounds (much like their team, most years). Kentucky fans fancy themselves as worldly and honorable, as if they were ancient Romans who listened to bluegrass. Goose Givens, who played for the Wildcats in the 70's, luxuriated in claiming that Kentucky fans were better informed than any NBA fan. They'll take their overinflated sense of self-worth out on anyone, even championship-winning coaches.
Scroll to the bottom to vote.
Nouveau Riche Region Championship:
1 Florida vs. 3 Connecticut
Alas, poor Oregon, we hardly knew ye. There simply isn't enough loathable tradition to glom onto for the poor Ducks, who basically only got sports teams a few years ago, if we're being honest. Florida stomped them 83% to 17% for a decisive entry into the second round. For their part, the Gators are the Nouveau Richest imaginable: a football school that lucked into one phenomenal recruiting class and back-to-back titles. The fans have feasted on that glory ever since.
The Gators' second round opponent UConn tagged Villanova with 71% of the vote, somewhat of a surprise, considering how skilled Philadelphians are at getting under the skin of their opponents. But then again, Philly has a rowdy, hardscrabble energy that may be irritating, but remains respectable. Husky fans have an entitled haughtiness, the Connecticut blue blood infected by the high of a disgustingly dominant women's program and a pretty good men's team. They're a new age Duke, entering into every matchup with the belief that it simply BELONGS to them. Can a fanbase whose team didn't even make the NCAA Tournament this year win the title of Most Annoying Fanbase? Well, yeah, that would make perfect sense.
Scroll to the bottom to vote.
Reveling in Past Glory Region Championship:
2 Indiana vs. 4 Louisville
UCLA, with their Daddy Wooden complex, felt like a winner here. But the Bruins have just been too dysfunctional over the past decade (plus "LA sports fan" is the consummate oxymoron) for their enemies to spill the Haterade. Lousiville dominated, winning 70% of the vote. It makes sense, really: Louisville fans have a couple titles to wave in your face, and the one doing the waving is likely to be wearing a giant rubber Rick Pitino mask. Louisville hosts the NCAA Tournament South Regional this weekend, so get ready for lots of red shirts to fill the seats with their delusion about how the world is out to get them.
On the other side of the bracket, it's an Indiana 91% to 9% absolute pummeling over Marquette. Thinking you invented basketball and getting all weird and weepy about it will do that for you. Thinking your team is still a premier program while you wear clown pants will make you a title contender. Keep your eye on the the Hoosiers, poised to be a dark horse competitor in the latter rounds, still complaining that they should've gotten into the NCAA Tournament even though their team lost in the NIT quarterfinals.
Scroll to the bottom to vote.
Ain't Won Nuthin' Region Championship:
2 Virginia vs. 4 Gonzaga
Gonzaga earned a comfortable victory over Butler, 64%-36%, which makes sense, seeing as they've been Butler for 20 years long than Butler. Every year, they succeed against whatever regular season competition you can imagine, then their perfectly oiled Mark Few-mobile gets crushed, and every year, their fans come back for more, comfortable in the presumption that this time, it will be different.
Meanwhile, is there a fanbase that generates more ire off of fewer accomplishments than Virginia? The Cavaliers dusted Notre Dame (more of an irritating football school, really) in their first round matchup. Rooting for Virginia isn't so much being a fan of a school, a team, or a player. It's more like subscribing to a series of arcane principles meant to guarantee success, but that mostly just produce hideous outcomes and miserable failure. It's like being a fan of brutalist architecture, or pining for the return of the Soviet Union.
Who will take home the championship? Vote away. We'll reveal our Foul Four next week.
