GELID Silent Spirit CPU Cooler (Page 7)
Update - Retail Cooler Test Results
GELID had taken note of our review of their Silent Spirit CPU cooler and were disappointed with our audio testing results. As such, they had gotten in contact with us to have us retest using a new retail sample. With the previous sample being a pre-release version, certain things might be overlooked and improved upon before the product makes it to retail shelves. It's time now to test the replacement in the box and get some pictures and new sound results.
GELID assumed the cooler must have been damaged in shipping. I feel it was honestly more so an issue with the fan. This does happen and it's nobody's fault. With the amount of hardware I go through, I sort of expect a failure at some point, simply due to playing the averages. But there's no point in making a fuss over what the problem actually is; the main point here is that GELID saw something they didn't like and stepped up and replaced the cooler on the spot. I can only hope that this type of treatment goes on down the line to their everyday customer.
My first action was to mount the cooler to our rig and get the audio testing out of the way with the cooler in its "out of the box" condition. I will address this further into the review. I then took the fan off of the fins and took a few images of my findings.
Here we have a side by side comparison of the fans in question. To the left is the new replacement; to the right is the pre-released version. Other than a sticker switch, there was a tiny bit of plastic added to the retail version of the fan.
Here is the pre-release cooler with the bit of plastic I was speaking about earlier; the first "rib" of plastic on this fan doesn't quite make it all the way to the inner edge of the fan housing.
As you can see here on the retail sample, the same bit of plastic has been extended and also visible is a light indent of where the old piece stopped.
Now let's put it to the test and see if there's an improvement to be seen, or heard I should say.
Mounting the cooler and getting the testing done left me surprised to say the least. Our idle testing revealed that the fan was spinning, but slowly enough to be almost completely inaudible, as the chart shows.
Switching over to the load voltages is where I was stunned. This cooler revealed to me in no uncertain terms why it is called the Silent Spirit. With a loaded reading of 35dB, the Silent Spirit soars to the top of our list for quiet cooling solutions. GELID set the bar high on this one to beat out most of the competition by being almost 50% quieter. That's an impressive feat to achieve!

Fourteen hours into a 24-hour experiment with background imagery, Google's home page is once again stark white.
Design guru Marissa Mayer confirmed that Google was ending the experiment early due to what she called a "bug," which erased a link underneath the search bar on google.com that explained why Google's famously spartan home page had taken on a colorful look. Apparently many searchers on Google.com Thursday morning missed the company's blog post Wednesday night, and were confused and annoyed at the change, turning "remove google background" into the seventh-most-popular search on Google Thursday.
Last week Google announced that it would begin providing its users with the option of setting their own background image behind the home page, but last night it forced an image to appear for all users signed into a Google account to highlight the feature. That didn't sit well with many grown used to Google's clean white design, especially when Google's explanation of why it was forcing this look vanished from the home page.
It also gave fans of Microsoft's Bing search engine a chance to crow, given that one of Bing's most noticeable features is a striking background image behind Bing.com that contains links to searches about the image.

Intervention strategies – a student perspective
What do you do with the mountain of data that you collect at your school? For the past two years, our library services team at Anglican Church Grammar School (better known as Churchie), have captured data from our Reading Resilience Program, which sees students tested each fortnight during a scheduled reading lesson.
The tests – initially implemented to address reading deficiencies identified from evaluation of our NAPLAN data – assess students' literal, interpretative and applied comprehension skills via 10 multi-choice questions.
After a period of fine-tuning to optimise the test instruments' reliability and validity, we began to recognise patterns in the students' responses. As a result, broader questions emerged: What are we going to do with all of this data? And what are we going to do about supporting and improving our students' reading comprehension now that we have reliable insights?
Essentially, our action research team wanted to understand whether students perceive the benefits to their reading performance of a taught reading strategy and whether their perceptions correlate with fortnightly test scores pre and post the intervention.
What we did
To begin with, our methodology included a literature review of a number of journal articles, most significantly Reading Between the Lines: What the ACT Reveals About College Readiness in Reading (2006). This article found that the young adults who were the most 'college ready' were those who engage with challenging texts during high school and, more specifically, were supported in this engagement through a variety of taught reading strategies. When translated into our school context, it means having students read challenging texts across all their subjects and providing them with strategies that facilitate their comprehension.
So, how do we get our students reading and comprehending challenging texts? We selected reading strategies promoted by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA)'s Beyond NAPLAN Reading Challenging Texts workshops. This teaches readers to both 'fly over the text' and 'hunt through the text'. These strategies were first taught to our students and then deployed in their fortnightly Reading Resilience Tests.
Prior to this instruction, to establish a baseline understanding of our students' perceptions of their own reading competence, the research team surveyed nine classes of Year 10 students. The recognised Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, a Likert scale tool, was used (see Figure 1). After this, students were taught the reading strategy. Then, over the next six weeks, they completed two of their regular Reading Resilience Tests. In the first week, the strategy was taught via direct instruction but not tested. Two weeks later, the strategy was taught via teacher guided instruction and then students independently applied it to a Reading Resilience Test. In the third fortnight, students employed reading strategies independent of teacher intervention.
Collections of students' annotations on the reading material, and exit feedback provided qualitative evidence to correlate and further explain our understanding of the survey and test results. The final stage before analysis of the data was the post-intervention survey.
Figure 1. Questionnaire delivered pre- and post-intervention.
What we found
During the instruction and research period, students' Reading Resilience Test results improved; however, the post-intervention survey indicated that students themselves did not perceive an impact resulting from the reading strategy they were taught. In fact, when compared to their pre-intervention Reading Resilience Test results, 53 per cent of students improved their score by one or more correct answers, 20 per cent achieved no change, and 26 per cent decreased by one or more.
The survey responses suggest that students are aware of a suite of reading strategies (such as notetaking, re-reading and language analysis), they feel confident using these strategies, they value them and they reported limited anxiety when faced with a challenging text. Curiously, these outcomes were the same regardless of students' abilities and test scores. That is, students who performed poorly in Reading Resilience Tests reported the same level of competence and confidence as those who scored perfect results.
It was also interesting to note that when guided instruction ceased and scaffolding was removed, students applied reading strategies idiosyncratically. Indeed, during the instructional phase students were taught a rigorous method of text annotation to deepen their comprehension of challenging texts. However, when left to their own devices, our Year 10 students reverted to pre-instruction strategies. The most common of these were to highlight whole sentences and underline single words and phrases.
What we learned
What began as research into the impact of a taught reading strategy revealed a paradox. Regardless of how successful the reading strategy intervention might have been, students attributed no greater value to the strategy, nor did they change their perceptions of their reading aptitudes.
However, when viewed in the light of a subsequent literature review, our findings are not surprising. In particular, they correlate with Dembo and Seli's (2004) study concluding that students' resistance to changing their academic behaviours is linked to automaticity of behaviour and levels of self-efficacy being too high or too low. In our context, students reverted to habits and practices learnt via trial and error during lower secondary years.
As a result, a new question emerged. If our Year 10 students' reading practices are frozen, would we achieve more success with a younger cohort? A second study building on our new knowledge is looking into whether our students can accept, apply and retain taught reading strategies.
In preparation, we sought advice from The University of Queensland's Science for Learning Centre which helped us review and restructure our research process. As a result, we were advised to increase and repeat the explicit teaching of the strategy, using more scaffolding, and at regular intervals. In our school context, and many more, this can be summed up by the 'I do', 'we do', 'you do' cycle of teaching and learning.
What this study and implementation process brought to light is that an 'off the shelf' intervention strategy is a good place to initiate a solution to deficiencies you have identified in your data. However, over the period of testing and reflecting, new questions arise as to the efficacy of what appears to be a solution.
It is clear that a tool should be tried and shaped to suit a local context. Perhaps, older students require constant support in their reading of challenging texts via a cycle of learning activities, while younger students can be taught strategies for lifelong learning. Both are areas for further research.

Reading for Comprehension - and reading for Fluency.
I work in Grade 1 in a Brisbane North primary school (Low SES). At our school we teach Guided Reading Strategies to our students. We have had several discussions about how effective this is and what we will use as verbal prompts, graphic organisers and visual prompts. We are collecting regular data on our students and we are streamlining this for more effective results. We use a term by term outline of reading strategies that are targeted towards our English curriculum across each term. Obviously this is not all we do - we have a large literacy block as you would expect at this level that includes a synthetic phonics and grammar program (Jolly Phonics and Grammar), explicit teaching approach for vocabulary and writing as well as a solid block of Guided Reading. We have implemented Remedial Reading for students with learning disabilities e.g. dyslexia or similar with good results. We have looked at our Prep and Prep-prep programs to see how these can be improved for students with low levels of language learning in addition to our Phonics program. I am willing to discuss our methods if someone is interested. Diane Hildreth, Grade 1 Support Teacher.

Police Reports: Pizza delivery man robbed at knifepoint
July 3, 2003
A pizza delivery man was robbed at knifepoint late Monday, and the robbers also took his car for their getaway, police reported Wednesday.
The incident occurred just before midnight Monday in the 1700 block of 10th Street. The delivery driver told police he was taking pizzas to a location that was phoned in, but when he got to the door, no one answered. As he returned to his car, two men approached, and one was carrying a knife.
The men took all the cash from the pizza courier, then took off in his car.
The victim called police, and officers found the abandoned car in the 400 block of 16th Avenue Court.
The robbers were described as small men, both about 5 feet 4 inches tall; they wore black winter coats with hoods pulled around their faces, and each wore a blue bandanna to cover his face. The victim said he believes the two robbers were likely young teenagers.
A Greeley woman accused of beating her children with a belt, a coaxial cable and a brush was charged with two counts of child abuse Monday.

Police reports released Wednesday stated that Ceferina Resendiz-Orozco, 27, was seen by witnesses as she was hitting her children, who are 8 and 11 years old.
The children had marks on them that compared to the type of instruments used in punishing them, according to the reports.
When police were called to the home in the 1600 block of 6th Avenue, the mother admitted using the belt and said she may have used a cable, but she denied hitting her children with a brush.
After the mother was charged, the children were taken into custody and turned over to the Department of Social Services.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
Peter J started following US Spanish Campaign Medal-Army. 1898., Ich kenne keine Parteien mehr?, Saxon Bars, show yours! and and 1 other
I've found these two medals on the web (bronze and silver), both commemorating the so called "Balcony speach" made by Kaiser Wilhelm in conjunction with the outbreak of WW1. I did however not find any reference to the illustrated gold version, which is partly a mix in design compared to the other two. The sword pointing downwards also seems odd, as it normally signifies defeat. Question: is this an official strike? Feedback would be greatly appreciated 🙂
The WW1 War decorations from the various German states are often encountered in the 16mm version for wear on chain, but what about the 16mm version as a stickpin? Other than the common EK1, I only have the Anhalt Friedrich-Kreuz, which apparently is a non-official decoration.
A well worn Preussia/Saxony combo. Too bad about the rather amateurish attempt to restore the blue border.
Thanks Elmer, that's a little bit better. Nevertheless, I like this little creature.
Hi Elmer, Thanks for a most educational elaboration. Given the similar appearance, I assume this enamelled miniature (27,33x14,34mm) is also a post-45 piece?
US Spanish Campaign Medal-Army. 1898.
Peter J replied to muckaroon1960's topic in United States of AmericaMany thanks for a most illuminating thread. Here are two more with a slightly more pronounced bronze colour, the Philippine Insurrection No 19340 and the War with Spain No 7051. The Spanish War Service Medal (30594) unfortunately lacks the ribbon and is more shiny compared to the ones illustrated here. Although the details are fairly nice, the portion with stars above the eagle's head are merely dots. Perhaps a later minting?
Uwe, thanks for the info, greatly appreciated
Nice catch Lars! Is the mini silver or gilded, difficult to tell from the image. Here are a few more of the same type, the non-portable medal is Crownprince Karl (Karl XIV 1818). I also found one mini in my files dedicated specifically for him.
Peter J replied to Scowen's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Organisational Membership Badges & TinniesWow, thanks Don, that's a beautiful document!!
Peter J replied to Scowen's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Organisational Membership Badges & TinniesHi Joe, Long time no hear. Unfortunately there is no reference to a time-period. I think the protection/defence aspect seems plausible, the design resembles a house (bau), which is perfect for the above. With respect for the copyright I choose to illustrate the 2nd version with a rough drawing (Rembrandt would turn in his grave!).
Peter J replied to Scowen's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Organisational Membership Badges & TinniesHi Robert, Freely translated this pin reads Economygroup Buildingindustry of the Stategroup Industry (wow). The 2nd version is also illustrated in Hüsken's book "Abzeichen deutscher Organisationen".
Peter J replied to Scowen's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Organisational Membership Badges & TinniesAnother addition to this interesting thread: according to Hüsken a Wirtschaftsgruppe Bauindustrie in der Reichgruppe Industrie 1. model. Comments are appreciated
Hi Graf,
You've really opened up a can of questions, but I've contacted one of the authorities on the Royal Order Kansli and he gave me a quick heads up one the various models.
First of all, the categories referred to in Künke's catalogue is not correct i.e. the Order being instituted in 1772 and being the 2nd model. The presumption that this Order originates from the "Swordsknightorder" of Livland instituted 1197 is from a Swdish publication from the 15th century and this story has been cut and pasted through out the years. The Order of the Sword was instituted 1748 and the first type had a small crown between the cross arms (image#1, I had to use a Northstar for illustration). Around 1802 a larger crown was adopted and placed above the tips of the cross arms on a scharnier (image #2). I'll get additional info from my source, but apparently there were about 8 different designs between 1802 and 1832. The transformation to a different crown attached with a built in hinge on an ornamented "holder"?) occured in 1860 and the balls on the edges of the arms 1856 (image #3), although these balls have been found on earlier pieces as well. There were also tiny enamel dots on the crown.
So where does that leave your cross? If we look at the crown it's a dead-ringer for the crown found on the 1847 Olov Orden. Well, IMHO your conclusion seems to place it around 1850, but I'll forward the image and see what I can find out.

Description from Amazon.com:
Wicked intrigue unfolds as an unlikely marriage leads to a path of risky desire in the lush, green Scottish Highlands
Born into riches and groomed in English luxury, Margot Armstrong didn't belong in a Scottish chieftain's devil-may-care world. Three years ago she fled their marriage of convenience and hasn't looked back—except to relive the moments spent in wild, rugged Arran McKenzie's passionate embrace. But as their respective countries' fragile unity threatens to unravel, Margot must return to her husband to uncover his role in the treachery before her family can be accused of it.
Red-haired, green-eyed Margot was Arran's beautiful bride. Her loss has haunted him, but her return threatens everything he has gained. As the Highland mists carry whispers of an English plot to seize McKenzie territory, he must outmaneuver her in games of espionage…and seduction. But even as their secrets tangle together, there's nothing to prevent love from capturing them both and leading them straight into danger.
Margot was a spoiled daughter of an Earl, she was naïve but beautiful. When her father saw a chance to make a profitable alliance with a "barbaric" Scot he didn't even consider Margot's wishes. Married, this teenager was thrust into a culture she couldn't comprehend, a society that disapproved of her being English and a husband who wasn't prepared to cater to her insecurities or whims. After four months and yet another row with Arran, her husband, she left for her father's home where she stayed for 4 years. That is until her father insisted she return to her husband and find evidence of his treason.
This is the first book in Julia London's "Highland Grooms" series. A terrific start! The characterizations of all the characters is spot on and well developed. The story is filled with sizzling chemistry between Arran and Margot. There is a well-developed arc of Margot going from naïve teenager to a take charge strong woman. This book is elegantly written and very entertaining. It is a long book and it does slow down a bit in the middle but otherwise it is action packed and a hang on for the ride book. The sexual tension is what holds these two protagonists together until they learn to fall in love.

Good morning, lovely readers! Are you having a good week? We are… except for one tiny detail. Yesterday, I had my first really epic fail as a parent. Or, well, I'm sure I've had lots of epic parenting fails but this was the first time that my son was old enough to really notice my massive failure. So that's a new thing. And, let me tell you: It's not great.
Well, two weeks ago, this would not have been something my four-year-old wouldn't have even cared about. But today? He noticed. And he was MAD. And I felt like the worst parent in the world.
But then I told him I'm take him wherever he wanted to go for lunch. He chose Panera, and I never let him get a cookie, but I said if he'd forgive me he could pick out whatever cookie he wanted even the flip-flop one that was covered in green icing. It was not, as you can imagine, one of the gluten-conscious options. So he had a green mouth and a sugar buzz. And a wheat belly. But he loves me again!!! Small price to pay.
I'm going to have to start saving up because when he's sixteen I have a feeling these situations are going to get more expensive than the $0.99 cent add-on-to-your-meal cookie.
So, in short, we survived the first time my child realized how woefully inadequate I really am. (I'm still talking about that day that Mom forgot to pack my lunch. And it happened once in almost eighteen years. Needless to say, we're not really the "forgive and forget" kind in our family.)
Do you know what is NOT an epic fail?
Why, this fabulous Kips Bay Showhouse, of course. Is it us or does it get more amazing each year?
Clive Christian really outdid himself in this kitchen. We feel like we're getting a peek at what's next in the kitchen world. And we are very excited by what we see!
This Timothy Whealon bedroom is a testament to the power of fabric. The staid and neutral backdrop of this master feels calming and quiet. But the fabric is so abstract and fun that the entire room oozes personality. Love it all!
Don't even get us started on this closet. Can you even call this a closet? It's more like a small apartment.
Hubby and I are getting ready to build a house, and my requirements were literally a huge closet and all the lights on dimmer switches. That gives the architect enough to go on, right? (Well, and now we're going to have to build some sort of theme park for Will to make up for the next thing we do wrong, obviously. He didn't even like the cookie… Sheesh.)
There are twin beds and then there are twin beds. These are too gorgeous!
This bathroom is total perfection, but, for us, the mirror puts it over the top. It would be gorgeous and glamorous anywhere! What's your favorite room in this year's Kips Bay Show House? We couldn't possibly choose a favorite!
Wishing you a glorious day free of parenting fails and full of great design!

Our Favourite Question of November
Q. I've just started in major gifts at a new organisation, and they don't have a single case for support! Where do I start?
– Bamboozled
A. Ouch, this isn't uncommon sadly. You're expected to go out and speak to all those incredible donors about nothing, which will lead them to donate… nothing! The good news is that this is an opportunity for you to build invaluable relationships within the organisation, and deeply understand what you're fundraising for and why it matters. Start with one or two projects that are organisational priorities (with the tick from the CEO!) and find out how much you need and when you need it by. Can you offer naming rights or recognition, and for how long? How much should that be valued at? Last but not least, why should the donor give? Look for the why not the what and make that the focus in your case for support. For example, if you were fundraising for a new garden at a hospital you would focus on how giving patients ready access to a garden during their hospital stay provides a return to nature that eases pain and speeds up healing for patients. Of course showing the designs and naming rights opportunities is all a part of the case for support, but make sure you remember to weave into it why it's so important that your donor supports this cause.
Good luck!

Dead Marine's memory lives in Gold Star Dad
The recent holiday season was the ninth one that Carson George spent without his son at his side.
His son, Lance Cpl. Phillip C. George, 22, died on Aug. 18, 2005, during a pitched battle with Taliban forces in Afghanistan, making Carson George a Gold Star Father.
Unlike most fathers in his position, Carson George was able to escort his son's body home from overseas. But in other ways, their story reflects the experiences of hundreds of other Texas families who have lost loved ones in combat, a memory heightened during Christmastime. The George family of Houston is among more than 600 throughout Texas who have lost loved ones in combat operations in Iraq or Afghanistan, according to the National Gold Star Family Registry.
The last time the family was together was for Thanksgiving in 2004 when Phillip had come home on leave from his U.S. Marine Corps base in Hawaii.
"It's especially hard this time of year," Carson George said. "They say, 'Time heals all wounds,' because they have no other idea of what else to say."
He remembered his son as being a leader among other students at Grace Christian School in Houston who didn't get into trouble - except for his apparent loathing of homework. Although a whiz at tests who got good grades, Phillip did not want to bring assignments home from school.
"He'd say, 'Why should I have to do homework just because somebody else needs it to pass?' He didn't see any need for it," his father remembered with a laugh.
He played sports - mostly soccer and basketball because the school was too small for much of a football program - and was something of a mentor to his peers.
"Phillip was the person they would go to when they needed to talk to someone," George said. "As I look back, all that began to connect to his becoming a Marine."
Changed after 9/11
Like so many others, the young man's life was forever changed by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
He and his father were doing some flood damage work following Tropical Storm Allison when the homeowner rushed out to tell them what happened. They all went inside and watched the news.
"We saw the second plane hit" the World Trade Center, Carson George said. "It definitely made an impact."
Soon after, Phillip came home with startling news.
"He said, 'Dad. I joined the Marine Corps.' That was the end of it. It was done," George said.
The matter-of-fact announcement made him recall his own Army service in 1967-68 as a microwave radio repairman in a small outpost in the central highlands of Vietnam.
"I think being able to look at it from that perspective helped," George said.
A round struck Phillip while he was directing the Marines in his fire team to safety. Although he was wearing body armor, the round found an open space because he was raising his arms to signal them.
"Verbal commands just don't work" in combat, Carson George said.
Unlike other parents who have lost children in combat, Carson George was not thousands of miles away when it happened. He was in Iraq, working as a civilian carpenter for defense contractor KBR at an American base on the outskirts of Baghdad. He had been at Forward Operating Base Warhorse for more than a year when Phillip was killed. By coincidence, he called home the day his family back in Houston was officially notified.
"As soon as (his wife) answered the phone, I knew my son was gone," George said. "I found out that Phillip had been killed about five hours before the Red Cross notice made it to our operations at KBR."
He said two things kicked in when he heard the news - his deeply held Christian faith and his military training. He could mourn later, but right then, he had to bring his son home to Texas.
George quickly boarded an Air Force transport aircraft in Afghanistan and arrived at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany five hours before his son's body.
Part of official escort
"My 'valley of the shadow of death' was the flight from Iraq to Ramstein. But I wasn't alone. If God was there, then Phillip was there," he said.
George spent a few minutes with his son's casket before it was loaded onto a cavernous Air Force C-5 Galaxy jet for the trip to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware - the stateside arrival point for most military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I was the only civilian on board," George said.
He was to join his son's official escort back to Houston but only after his clothing problem was solved. He needed a suit, but the only clothes George had with him were the dirty jeans, boots and T-shirt he was wearing back in Afghanistan when he heard the news of Phillip's death. A sergeant in the Marine Corps detachment at Dover took George to several different stores so he could purchase suitable clothes.
After the funeral at Grace Community Church, George was asked if he ever considered talking his son out of joining the Marine Corps.
"Without hesitation, I said, 'No. Absolutely not,' " George said. "I lived my life. Joining the Marine Corps had to be his decision - and it was."
Although it has been nearly a decade since his funeral at the Houston National Cemetery, Carson George sometimes visits his son's namesake at the Houston Ship Channel - a tugboat called the Lance Cpl. Phillip C. George.

INVERNAVELO is the perfect frost cover blanket that will protect your vegetables from insects, maintain humidity, heat and allow you to harvest earlier than other growers.
It is a normal practice to shield tender plants. From the use of boxes and old baskets to curtains and bedsheets, shad-cloth, and burlap, plastic and vinyl. One product that is available commercially is frost blanket. This is a breathable and extremely light fabric, which is produced from spun-bonded polyethylene or polypropylene. The sun will take in heat on a sunny day. Overnight, as the air temperatures fall, the soil will lose warmness.
The reason behind the covering is to hold the heat in the soil and keep the warmer air bubble within the soil and the plant. This prevents the quick cooling of the surface to form frost. The second point behind this process is that the frost blanket befits the surface where the moisture freezes instead of the plant tissues. Row covers that have been recycled must be removed or folded back during the day, in order to give room for light to get in contact with the plant. This is also important in preventing overheating, which can occur easily under vinyl or plastics. The advantage of the frost blanket it can be used over the plants for a longer time when necessary. They also provide a form of insulating layer while giving room to the transmission of light unlike the plastic, which requires a higher degree of the porousness of both air and rain movement. It is important to confirm that the floating row cover is attached and closed securely in the position where it comes in contact with the ground. This will conserve the warmth of the soil around the plant and prevent the removal of the cover by the breeze. Irrespective of how the row cover is deployed, it is totally impermeable to the loss of heat.
In conclusion, the use of the INVERNAVELO blanket can reduce the influence of frost in different ways, including the physical preventing of ice from forming straight on plants or capturing warmer air. They don't damage the plants if they are used over the plants for an extended period because it provides a light-filled, warm and cushy microclimate for plants that are sensitive to flourish.
How to reduce cold damage using a frost blanket
- Insulate properly.
- Reduce the application of fertilizer during the end of the summer because new growth is more vulnerable than older leaves.
- Overcome the desire to prune scruffy or dead leaves, as they will help in protecting the core of the plant from cold.
- Change the location of pot plant from shelter to verandas or overhangs
- Harvesting should be carried out early.
- Before the watering process, ensure that the plants are not under stress. A soil that is moist will accommodate more heat when compared to a dry soil. Beware of excess water.
- A temporary cover over stationery and susceptible plants are effectively, especially if properly done

Cover story: Regardless of how U.S.-China trade talks play out, the global system of trade is being realigned as a decades-long drive toward free trade across borders begins to reverse and globalization increasingly becomes overwhelmed by populism, nationalism, and protectionism.
Features: 1) Positive on BA: Previous crashes involving the aerospace giant's planes have sent shares down, only for the market to see them rise again, precedents today's shareholders can look to as a reason not to panic about the recent Ethiopian Airlines Max jet crash—though they shouldn't count on a quick recovery; 2) Positive on NUE, STLD, X, CMC: Shares of the four leading U.S. steel producers trade well below historical averages, and given the industry's volatile history, investors should be cautious on the stocks—among potential catalysts is the fact the U.S. is short of steel production and needs imports to satisfy demand, making imports the price setters; 3) Members of Barron's 2019 energy roundtable say certain integrated oil-and-gas companies are poised to benefit as projects long in the planning finally come on-line, and they don't foresee a big surge this year in oil prices—though $60 crude shouldn't hamper well-managed companies.
Tech Trader: Cautious on SQ: Company was among the first to see an opportunity helping small businesses accept credit-card payments, but its move into lending, cryptocurrencies, and software raises the question of whether it should leave its roots behind and become part software provider, part bank.
Trader: Though much of the recent economic data has been weaker than expected, Torsten Sløk of DB says he sees very early signs of a possible recovery in both the economy and corporate earnings; Solar demand is back on the upswing, and solar stocks have already responded—TAN is up 30% this year, nearly erasing all of its 2018 drop; There are several factors working in favor of small-cap stocks, which still look cheap relative to large-caps, says Lori Calvasina of RBC Capital Markets.
Profile: Natasha Sibley, co-manager of the $250M AlphaGen Castor Fund at JHG believes that European stock dividends are trading too cheaply and that a surer way to make money amid the political uncertainty is to capitalize on the discrepancy between the price of European stock dividends.
European Trader: Positive on Phoenix Group Holdings: Brexit-weary investors in European stocks might want to take refuge in the firm—which acquires closed lines of pensions and life insurance and winds down the books of business—whose shares have limited downside and the potential for lasting income.
Emerging Markets: After a strong January, emerging market stocks are once again underperforming their U.S. peers, but conditions remain ripe for a further rally in the sector as macro risks that have frightened investors appear to recede.
Commodities: Oil is among the biggest commodity gainers in 2019, with prices up by more than 20%—but cuts may run head-on into the effects of increased U.S. shale production and more output from other sources.
Streetwise: Columnist Jack Hough comments on the recent college-admission scandal, noting that anyone with a reasonable shot of completing a college degree should do so—but the fact that so many kids will lose money on a product that ought to be cheap is the real scandal about which people should be concerned.

Dave Gorman quits Modern Life Is Goodish TV series
- Dave Gorman has said that he is ending his Modern Life Is Goodish TV format after five series
- He revealed that working over 100 hours a week on each episode was having an impact on his health
- Gorman - who will tour live in 2018 - thanked everyone who worked on the show, and the fans for watching it
Dave Gorman has announced that he has decided to bring an end to his hit TV series Modern Life Is Goodish.
Gorman revealed that the long hours and stress involved in producing it is having a negative impact on his health.
Launched on Dave in 2013, the format sees Gorman using stand-up and PowerPoint slides to take an illustrated look at various aspects of modern life. The show, which is one of UKTV's most popular comedy programmes, has run for five series, with the latest 8-part run set to finish tomorrow (Tuesday 19th).
Gorman explained why he was quitting the format in a detailed blog post on his website.
He revealed that, during the most intensive parts of the production, he was working "in excess of 100 hours a week", and revealed: "while it doesn't happen every time, there are plenty of occasions where I work through the night and into the next day without sleep because I won't meet the deadlines otherwise".
Explaining his decision further, he says: "It's simply not possible to keep doing that without making yourself ill. In Series 1 we didn't really know what we were letting ourselves in for when it was set up and as a result we only had two weeks between recordings. It's probably not a coincidence that I fainted on stage during the taping of Episode 6.
"Everyone involved - the channel and the production company and everyone working on the show - has been aware of quite how labour intensive the show is to make ever since we began. There isn't an executive involved who hasn't, at some point, been in a meeting with me when I've been awake for 48 hours and counting. And everyone has done everything they can to make it easier. But unfortunately, there isn't a short cut when it comes to building the PowerPoint [presentation]."
He thanked channel Dave for being "brilliantly supportive" and commissioning multiple series at a time, adding: "It's hard to let go of such a wonderful opportunity. I know that if I wanted to make more I could. But I don't want to do it half-cocked. And I don't want to make myself ill doing it either. And I want to do other things too. I want to do more live work."
Gorman announced in November that in 2018 he will tour new live show With Great Powerpoint Comes Great Responsibilitypoint. Writing on his website about the timing of deciding to finish his TV series now, he explained: "In a way, the decision to tour next year made my mind up for me. It would be impossible to create another series at the same time as creating and touring a new show. So Series 6 was never going to happen in 2018. And I can't help thinking that not-working-100-plus-hours-a-week is probably going to feel quite nice after five years of crazy. So it's probably best to leave it there.
"I know that, with ads, each show is less than an hour long... but creating 36 telly-hours in the space of five years is something I'm hugely proud of. There aren't many comics that will get that opportunity. And I like to think I respected the opportunity - and the audience - and always gave my all to it.
"In the meantime, I'm having a bit of time off over Christmas - and the channel and I are actively looking for ways of working together in the future."
He concluded: "It's rare for a series to end like this, with everyone involved feeling happy that it happened and nobody bearing any grudges. If you've enjoyed the shows - thanks for being a part of it. I'm pretty sure they'll be available on UKTV Play for some time to come. The final episode airs tomorrow, Tuesday at 10pm. I hope you can catch it."
For further insight into how the programme was made, and why a less intense schedule couldn't work, read his full blog post.
Long form stand-up on TV
Dave Gorman also used the announcement to discuss how his show is one of the few programmes on TV that gives space for stand-up to be broadcast in 'long-form'.
He blogged: "It seems odd to me that TV largely presents stand-up as something that happens in short sets of 7 or 8 minutes - or even as a quick minute, before 'we get on with the rest of the show'. I don't think that's what any of my favourite comics are best at.
"In terms of live work, the only times you really watch someone doing something that short is when they're a brand new act doing unpaid gigs as they learn or, maybe, somebody more established trying a new idea out somewhere. A standard set on the circuit is 20 minutes, a one-person show at a festival is expected to be 60 minutes and a tour show is longer. If you can get into the position of touring shows in your own name - you have to have worked out how to shape a longer show - and yet the people who have worked that out tend to be the ones being asked to do 7 or 8 minutes of stuff on telly.
"I don't think doing an hour is as simple as just doing three lots of twenty. Or at least it shouldn't be. Because the longer form affords you more opportunities to link things up, to draw out themes, to misdirect audiences in more interesting ways and to make things feel more complete. You have to change things up more or they get wise to your rhythm. A short set can be great - but it's the fast food version of stand-up. It's a dirty burger. But long-form stand-up, done well, can be a banquet."
Gorman, referring back to Modern Life Is Goodish, then said: "With that in mind; what a fantastic opportunity this series has been. When people say they think it's a shame the show hasn't been on a bigger channel, I always ask them to tell me any other channel that has given any other comic the opportunity to do this kind of show? Not stand-up and sketches. Not stand-up and anything else. Not a package of discreet bits that could be edited together in a different order and make just as much sense. Proper, long-form stand-up that actually represents what a touring comic does live? I can't think of many. I don't think I can think of any. Not just now... but for many years.
"In that sense it is a dream job. And I have always tried to go about my job without complaint. There's no point moaning about having-to-come-up-with-more-stuff when coming-up-with-stuff is one of the key parts of your job. That's what we're supposed to do for a living.
"And I'm not pretending that every last bit of it has been all my own work. I'm lucky enough to have worked with a fantastic bunch of collaborators - producers and writers - all of whom have contributed much.
"So please don't mistake [this blog post] for any kind of woe-is-me, moaning. That couldn't be further from the truth."

Kris & Greg
We know that there is a baby out there waiting to be born into our family and every day we hope that their mother will find us soon. Maybe that mother is you. We have a wonderful life together and we can't wait to raise a child. We hope that this will give you an idea of who we are and why we would be good fathers.
How We Met
From across the volleyball court in 2013, we sparked a friendship through an LGBT volleyball league in Chicago. Shortly after becoming friends, we found ourselves on the same side of the net for a volleyball tournament, and you could say it was love at first bump, set, and spike.
Shortly after we realized there was a connection worth pursuing, Greg confessed to Kris that he had signed up for an Iron Man and was going to be on a schedule that consisted of 2 workouts a day for the following 6 months. Kris took the opportunity to become a support system as Greg trained for the race, which would consist of 2.4 miles of swimming, 140 miles of biking, and 26.2 miles of running.
Over the course of the training months, Kris got to meet Greg's family and their relationship only deepened. Once the race was completed, it was a no-brainer to take the relationship to the next level, and we purchased a condo in Chicago's Ukrainian Village where we live today. The home was not complete without a best friend to come home to, and River, a rescued hound-mix, was adopted into the family shortly after moving in together. Since saying "I do" in 2016, life has been full of travel and adventure.
What Makes Us Unique
Greg has always been drawn to the arts, and considers himself an entrepreneur. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois and attending a small high school, he was allowed to dabble in a bit of everything from sports to choir, and musicals to cross-country running. He loves giving himself a challenge and persevering through the growing pains to see things through to the finish line. His determination has led him to start his own business where he helps small businesses and non-profit organizations with their technology.
Kris was born in the Philippines and came to the states by way of New Zealand at the age of 10. He and his younger brother, Jerico, grew up with the idea of the American Dream. Being able to say that his family persevered beyond poverty, allowing him to become a college graduate and self-sufficient adult, is one of his biggest life accomplishments. Kris is skilled at putting chaos into order and uses these skills as a meeting planner and resources to friends and family.
Our Hopes for an Open Adoption
We know that above all else, we will have an environment that is filled with love, support, and amazing people that come from diverse walks of life.
There will be days of exploring urban jungles, losing hours at the shores of Lake Michigan, and other days spent driving through the sprawling golden countryside on the way to get freshly baked apple cider doughnuts from a local orchard.
We know that you will be welcome to visit us as much as you are able to, and we would love for you to be one of those amazing people that make up our family.
We know that everything won't be easy, but we are also ready for the experience ahead and know that when the time is right, we will start the unforgettable journey into parenthood and begin the next chapter of our lives as fathers.
Our House and Neighborhood
Chicago has been home to us for over ten years, and we have been in our current condo for over four. Our building has six units and is the first place we have lived where we feel close to our neighbors. One couple in our building is in the process of starting their family as well, and the idea of having another family so close by is very appealing to us.
We have an eye for contemporary design that still feels warm and welcoming, and can't wait to convert our second bedroom into a nursery.
Ukrainian Village, the neighborhood where we live, is filled with tree-lined streets, playgrounds, and is just over a mile from The 606 (an elevated running path that was converted from an old train track). We can't wait to explore the neighborhood and go on runs with both child and pup in tow!
Thinking ahead, there are multiple well-rated elementary schools within walking distance of our condo (two of which are tri-lingual teaching Polish, Spanish, and English). We are over-the-moon about the diversity we are going to be able to include in raising a family.
Our Extended Families
As RuPaul once said in one of our favorite shows, RuPaul's Drag Race, "We as gay people get to choose our family and the people we are around." We have not only been blessed with loving parents who are still together, but also brothers, and an incredibly close-knit friend group that stood beside us on our wedding day (all of whom are beyond excited to be aunts and uncles when the baby arrives).
Greg's parents live just two hours outside of Chicago on a 40-acre ranch where Greg's dad boards, trains, and raises horses. We recently met our nephews there where we played for hours with some of Greg's childhood toys and explored nature and met horses.
Christmas always means a commute to New Jersey to visit Kris's family. This road trip becomes more special each year, providing a great opportunity to connect, listen to an audiobook, and spend time together uninterrupted. We can't wait to continue this tradition with a child.
Both sides of the family and close friends are excited to add a new member to the family and cannot wait for us to have a child! There will be endless amounts of love and care from both our biological and chosen family.
From Us to You
To an incredible woman,
Brave is an understatement for what you are considering, and we are humbled at the fact that we may be the chosen couple to be the fathers of your child. As two men, we are not going to pretend to know what it feels like to be going through this process as a mother. It must at sometimes feel like to have the weight of the world on your shoulders. It must feel like you are trying to make an almost impossible decision, and that is okay. We want you to know that we are not here to make the decision for you and there is no right or wrong answer. We want you to know that we are ready to be parents and that we are honored to even be considered.
We know some of the sacrifices you are making to consider adoption, and we are here to be an open support system for you during the time leading up and after having your baby. We are excited and ready to explore the opportunity to come up with a plan that will allow you to be a part of your child's life. We are open to sending letters and pictures on a regular basis, scheduling visits, face-timing, and making sure you are able to see the loving home and environment we will provide as fathers.
We started our adoption journey over two years ago after getting married. To say we are excited to start a family, would be an understatement. From babysitting when we were younger to seeing friends and relatives begin to grow their family, we have been able to hold and play with kids that seem to grow up before our eyes. We capitalize on every opportunity to play with matchbox cars and superheroes with Greg's nephews or Barbie's and make-believe with Kris' nieces. Having a kid in your lap, snuggled under a blanket, while you read a bedtime story can be one of the most simple, but amazing experiences life has to offer. Seeing a child's face light up as a dog passes on a morning stroll, having them call out in an undecipherable "woof woof" can just melt your heart. We can't wait to capture some of those same moments as we start our family, and will share those moments of joy with you as well.
We are nervous too, and we think that's OK. We know there are going to be moments when we have to trust our parental instincts, and times when we just have to do our best. But we know that we have an incredible support system of family and friends that will be here to help us through every step of the way. We know that when things get stressful we have a great relationship with each other that is built on communication and love that will help us through. We are committed to each other and will put our family before everything else.
It is impossible to know the future, and we too wish there was a crystal ball that would let us see how it would all work out in the end, but faith is defined as having trust and confidence in something that cannot be seen, and we are asking you to put your faith in us. We will do our absolute best to make sure that this child has an incredible life that is filled with love, filled with adventure, and filled with amazing moments with both us and with you. We know that we are ready to be parents, that we will be able to raise a child that is someone who is caring, kind, and compassionate. Someone who is going to love to tell their story, and who is excited to have two dads, and a mom.
We cannot wait to start this journey with you.
From loving fathers-to-be,
Kris & Greg

CCPA: Getting Past Stuck and Getting Started with Consumer Rights Requests
On the heels of the GDPR, The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is set to be one of the toughest privacy laws enacted in the US. Many organizations are expressing a feeling of "being stuck" when it comes to getting started with managing consumer rights requests under the CCPA.
Last week we were joined by Britanie Hall, Senior Associate at Hogan Lovells, Privacy and Cyber Security, and Alexys Carlton, Director, Information Security & Privacy at Otter Products & Blue Ocean Enterprises for a webinar on practical steps companies can take today to get ready for the CCPA.
Personal information under the CCPA.
One of the challenges with the CCPA is the broad definition of personal information. Up until now, personal information was generally interpreted to be limited to a set of specifically identifiable information; breach notification laws cover name plus certain other information. Section 1798.140(o) of the CCPA, however, defines information more broadly as any information associated with, relating to, or capable of being associated with, or that could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. The inclusion of household makes this section broader than how personal data is defined by the GDPR.
There is also some confusion on whether de-identified data or aggregate consumer information will be carved out of the definition of personal information. The CCPA is also not defining a consumer by the individual's relationship with a business. Rather, it applies to every resident of California whether they are a customer of a business and whether or not they are in the state, so long as they are a resident.
There remains some uncertainty on whether the natural person language extends to employees or to business to business contacts; would they be treated as a consumer? While the California state legislature or Attorney-General are expected to offer additional clarity around these definitions, businesses operating in California will want to consider how they would cover employee information as well as consumer information. We recently published a blog post on understanding individual rights.
Where companies are getting stuck
There are some key areas where we see companies getting stuck in their efforts to become CCPA compliant.
Reasonable verification.
One of the most common questions we see is what is considered reasonable verification?
The CCPA directs the California Attorney General to establish the rules and procedures related to reasonable verification with a goal to minimize the administrative burden on consumers while simultaneously taking into account available technology, security concerns and burden on the business to determine that a request for information is a verifiable consumer request.
A business should be able to identify the consumer and associate the information provided by that consumer in the request to personal information. When consumers don't have an account where they can log in, they do need to give your business some specific piece of information you can match so you can reasonably verify their identity.
While the CCPA discusses that it may be sufficient for someone to be logged into their account when they make the request, businesses may want to think about what types of information they will maintain in connection with that account. For example, if the information maintained is not sensitive (for example email address or mailing address) versus maintaining sensitive information such payment information or social security number, businesses will want to consider additional authentication (for example, requiring an answer to a security question, or two factor authentication).
Data structure and location.
Data access requests can cover data you have stored across multiple areas in your infrastructure. To fulfill the access request, organizations will need to prioritize available systems for searches. While structured data is easier to search in response to requests, unstructured data such as that contained in emails may also be subject to access requests. This could require policies to minimize sharing personal information through emails or give thought to where unstructured data that has personal information is stored and how to prioritize those systems for searches.
Deletion exceptions.
Deletion exceptions are another area causing organizations to get stuck in developing their CCPA compliance. If your company has implemented policies around deletion exceptions for GDPR, it is important to understand that the GDPR does not line up exactly to CCPA. While they both grant the right of the consumer to delete information, the two regulations are framed differently.
CCPA deletion exceptions do not focus on whether the data meets certain static characteristics (for example, is it subject to HIPPA), but rather, more on dynamic questions related to whether it is necessary to maintain data for a certain action. For example, if you get a deletion request, do you need to keep the data to complete a transaction? If so, then a deletion exception could apply. However, if that is not true at a later date, that data could be marked for deletion when it is no longer necessary.
Lessons learned from the early days of the GDPR.
With the GDPR approaching its one–year birthday, are there lessons we can learn as we approach compliance to CCPA? From a reasonable verification perspective, one of the main concerns emerging from Data Protection Authorities and organizations is related to the potential risk of over-collecting data just for the purpose of identification. When dealing with a request from an individual, DPAs are guiding organizations to ask questions based on the information that has already been provided. For example, Uber recently updated their access platform so that a consumer must log on to their account to do an access request.
European DPAs are also taking guidance from Canada where when authenticating an individual, organizations should focus on two to three elements that are known (e.g. password), something you have (e.g. date of birth), and something you are (e.g. biometric data – but only used in serious cases for sensitive data or higher threshold of access).
Finally, soon after the GDPR came into effect, there was a noticeable uptick in fake requests for access to data, from bad actors, and this will be a concern for the CCPA. About one in three complaints of non-compliance are directly tied to data subject rights and DPAs are starting to step up their enforcement. The first fines related to releasing data to the wrong persons have been levied in Germany.
Getting unstuck
Despite privacy professionals waiting for the confirmation and clarity from the courts and regulators on elements of the CCPA, implementing a compliance program can be a lengthy process so it is important to get started as soon as possible. Alexys Carlton, Director, Information Security & Privacy at Otter Products & Blue Ocean Enterprises offered some practical tips for getting started on CCPA compliance.
- Identify all of the goals of the business at it relates to privacy compliance. In the case of Blue Ocean, the most important goals were to meet consumer expectations maintaining their trust and demonstrate compliance to regulators quickly and efficiently.
- Identify the "data subjects" in your program. Blue Ocean established early on that they would offer the same data subject rights to everyone. By following one process, they can mitigate risk of human error.
- Know where consumer data stored. Due to complexity, time, and effort, conducting a full data inventory is not realistic for most organizations. Ms. Carlton recommends breaking this project into internal processing activities versus trying to tackle all processing activities into one data flow. For example, one can ask, "If I place an order on the website, where does my data go?" Data flow diagrams can be very helpful in this exercise.
- Develop a timeline for how to fulfill a data subject request. It is critical to document all the processes for dealing with requests with specific step by step instructions on how to do an access request or a deletion request. Blue Ocean defined the data that the company must retain and removed those data types from the deletion process.
- Understand how to demonstrate compliance. It is Important to track the evidence for each data access request to ensure the processes are followed and that compliance can be demonstrated to a regulator. Blue Ocean created a data subject log; once a request has been fulfilled including the communication that was provided back to the data subject, it is all stored in a secure electronic file. This enables the company to generate a report within an hour of a regulator request.
- Move your project to program for ongoing compliance. GDPR was often a treated as a project with an end date of May 25, 2018 – but that's really when it began and the same can be said for CCPA. The steps in data subject rights processes change every time a data flow process changes and there could be significant consequence organizations lack processes to address those changes in a sustainable manner. Blue Ocean uses Privacy Impact Assessments to maintain their program. The privacy office is informed of any changes to process, or any new system or process that involves personal data. If it is completely new process, then new records of processing documentation and a new data flow diagram are created.
Blue Ocean is one of many customers who leverage Nymity's Privacy Accountability Framework™ to identify the technical and organizational measures needed to build the process to be able to process data access requests under the CCPA. The Framework helps organizations with structuring their privacy program using a process-based approach and enables them to demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis.
Nymity has a number of resources available for helping companies build sustainable programs for demonstrating CCPA compliance.
