Journal, Legends of Sword Coast
I just added the journals to the shop about a month or two ago so I think this is the first one I've made for a client. I wound up having to make the cover twice since it wound up warping too much the first time. If that continues being an issue I might try switching to a milled veg for the cover so it stays nice and flexible.

Buprestidae (Julodinae)
Taita Publishers, 2004
(price do not include 10% VAT, shipping and handling)
This monograph is (we hope) the first of a series, intended to collate our present knowledge of the family Buprestidae in the Afrotropical Region. The reasons for embarking on such a venture may be clothed into emotive issues like ecological planning and documenting the fauna before it disappears. The fact is, we simply like buprestids and we like the taxonomic excuse to study them.

Category: Volunteering
In a US study entitled Volunteering as a Pathway to Employment: Does Volunteering Increase Odds of Finding a Job for the Out of Work? (2013) found that volunteering is associated with a 27% higher odds of employment.
The results of this study suggest a statistically significant and stable association between volunteering and employment. The overall association remains consistent across each year of the study period and different unemployment rates, suggesting that irrespective of economic conditions volunteering may add an advantage to the out of work seeking employment
From a recent Recruit & Engage Young People Workshop, hosted by Volunteer Tasmania, young people volunteer for a range of reasons.
Some of these reasons are taken from the following YouTube video.
The reasons include: Have fun; meet new people; world awareness; try something new; learn something new; put a smile on someone else's face; a chance to try something risk free; to give hope and to expand outlook; changes the lives of others; leadership; something for the community and me; meaningful; drives change; has impact; is a want, it isn't mandatory Free choice; a lot of people working together for a cause; allows me to re-define myself; always something in it for you; emotions you read off people; unique Experience; gives you a new perspective/changes your outlook; creates a bigger picture; brings people together; one thing can make big change; changes your life; opens new doors and opportunities.

The weather for the vintage was very good, almost ideal. A rather cool and wet winter allowed the vines to rest and recover normally.
The vegetation cycle began around 14 April in dry and warm weather. May was generally cool, delaying flowering by one week.
Warm and sunny weather in June ensured that flowering took place evenly between 19 May and 12 June. July and August were hot and dry, relieved by rains at the beginning of September.Oenological sheet
The wine, still a rather deep red colour, opens on wild berry fruit, blackcurrant and black cherry aromas mingled with a subtle suggestion of mint.
Full and consistent on the palate, it reveals a fine tannic structure, dense and rich, firm but not aggressive, combined with lovely blackcurrant, vanilla and toast flavours and a hint of smoke.
Seductively complex, this is a very fine vintage.Descriptive sheet

The proposal was rejected by 55 per cent of Canfor shareholders
Billionaire Jim Pattison scraps Canfor bid after shareholders reject it
Billionaire Jim Pattison scrapped his bid to take Canfor Corp. private after minority shareholders in the Canadian lumber company rejected the offer as too low given the turnaround in the sector.
Investors voted 45 per cent in favor of the $16 a share offer, according to a tally of votes cast Monday, Canfor said in a statement. The buyout required a majority of the minority shareholders. Glen Clark, president of The Jim Pattison Group, said in an interview before the vote that the company had no plans to increase the bid.
The Pattison Group, through its subsidiary Great Pacific Capital Corp., launched a $981.6 million bid to take Canfor private in August, taking advantage of a tumbling share price to buy out the remaining shareholders. Great Pacific owns 51 per cent of the stock.
Investors including money manager Letko Brosseau & Associates Inc. had voiced their displeasure at the deal, calling it "opportunistic," and not reflecting the full value of the company.
The bid was launched when lumber futures were depressed and the sector's stocks had dropped due to forest fires, reduced U.S. demand and lower supplies from a pine beetle infestation. Pattison's offer was an 82 per cent premium to the closing price on Aug. 9, a day before the bid. The stock traded Monday at $15.56 in Toronto, below Pattison's offer.
The industry rebounded in the fall after lumber companies curtailed supplies and the U.S. housing market recovered. Lumber futures in Chicago have climbed 33 per cent from market lows in June to over $400 per 1,000 board feet.

Ian Begley, SNY.tv | Twitter |
Kadeem Allen has spent most of his offseason in North Carolina, working out in preparation for his second season with the Knicks. He's looking forward to making an impact in training camp.
"Just trying to show coach that I can compete at the highest level and I can play at the highest level," Allen said of his goals entering the season. "Just trying to get out there and earn a permanent roster spot."
Allen turned down several overseas offers with significant guaranteed money to remain with the Knicks because of his fit with the club. Allen will compete with Dennis Smith Jr., Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina and others for minutes in the Knicks' backcourt rotation.
He took some time to answer a few questions about his approach to this season, his teammates and his thoughts on the team.
Allen on Summer League:
"We got a lot of young guys so I tried to be as vocal as I could and just tried to lead in each way I could…. Guys went out there and wanted to show that they got better over the summer, they wanted to show that they were working over the summer. And we didn't really do it collectively in the beginning. We got into it, coaches got into it with the players in the locker room. We fought through and we stayed together and we just competed how we know how to compete."
In Summer League, Allen averaged 8 points, four assists and 1.6 steals per game for a Knicks team that went 2-3. Last season, Allen averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 21 games. He split time between the NBA and the G-League.
Allen on helping the Knicks prioritize defense:
"That's what I was drafted for - defense. Defense is my calling. I never question myself and I feel like I never really get questioned on that side of the floor. I'm just going to keep doing what I do. Play defense and just try to get my teammates better."
On the Knicks' free agent additions, which include Marcus Morris, Julius Randle and Bobby Portis:
"Those are the guys that have been in the league for a little while. We're still a young core but we've got a lot of guys that have been in the league and they're going to show us the ropes. We're still going to go out there and compete. It's always good to have guys like that to test your inner core and just keep bringing it to eachother every day. Playing hard. I'm sure there's going to be friction sometimes but with this group we have right here, we're going to put all that beside us and behind us and move on."
On playing with RJ Barrett in Summer League:
"He's going to be a good player in this league, great upside, can shoot the ball, pass the ball very well. And he has the ability to finish at the rim. He's going to be a good player in this league and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the league."
On his journey (JUCO to Arizona to the NBA):
"Matured a lot. I don't feel like a lot of people could have gone to JUCO at Hutchinson, Kansas, been player of the year, go to Arizona, have to sit out and red shirt. I don't think they could be mentally tough (enough) for that. I'm built for that. I just kept fighting. I've always been the underdog. I just kept fighting and clawed my way, almost to the top. I just have to keep going."
High price for Myles Turner suitors:
Teams inquired with Indiana about Myles Turner both before and after the NBA Draft, sources confirmed. It's unclear if their talks with the Pacers about Turner gained any significant traction. But multiple teams that had conversations with the Pacers about Turner came away with the impression that it would take an incredibly significant offer to land him, per SNY sources.
ESPN reported prior to the start of free agency that the Pacers flat-out rejected offers at the draft. The Indianapolis Star reported before the NBA Draft that Turner wouldn't be moved.
The Pacers are in a tricky position with two young big men in Turner and Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is eligible for an extension as he enters the final season of his rookie contract. Indiana signed Turner to a four-year, $80 million extension at the beginning of last season.
It will be interesting to see how the Pacers proceed. Turner led the NBA in blocked shots last season and shot 38.8 percent from beyond the arc, establishing himself as one of the top young big men in the league.

This brief overview describes a simple range of products that you will need to apply to prepare your skin for the products I will be describing later. It is the basis of all successful make-overs and is the essential first step in the process.
Trust me you only need to know a little about skincare and literally a 10 min daily routine is all it takes to get the effects you will want!!
YES!! Our skin does loose elasticity and has a tendency to become dry in some areas with declining Oestrogen levels, you may have a few fine lines around the eyes and around your Cupid's Bow, BUT please don't zoom in on my photographs or stress about such matters, we are 50 and proud, they define us!!
Tekky Talk: "Cupid's Bow" – your area between your upper lip and your nose. I do not make these names up, I promise!
The one thing, above all, with any routine is to make sure that you remove all traces of make up before bedtime, make-up residues can increase ageing, clog up your pores and lead to spots. Blocked pores often result in inflammation, which can be both unsightly and uncomfortable.
Make-up is best removed with a reputable cleansing product. Choose a cleanser that is kind to your skin, I find cleansing milk/lotion to be one of the best products, wash off cleansers can be a little harsh for maturing skin, I will cover this and go into more detail within my blogs and reviews.
After cleansing you may wish to apply a Night Cream, always an advantage BUT if your tucked up in bed and think you have forgotten this step it is really not worth getting up and stressing about 😉 Again, keep it light and my advice is to only apply a little to the cheeks. I am not a fan of excessive night cream usage as they can create or add oil to your "T Zone". And too much often ends up on your pillow!
Tekky Talk: "Your T-Zone":- the shape of a letter T formed between your forehead , nose & chin
When you rise in the morning repeat your cleansing regime as the first step in your daily routine.
Secondly, a toner is always a good thing to balance out the skin before moisturising but please don't stress, the use of a toner is really not necessary every day, so you can skip this if in a hurry. Again I would recommend that you choose a product that is gentle on your skin
Now then, moisturising, my preference is to use a Serum, they are usually less oily, plump out the lines a little and leave a smooth finish BUT again I will be covering day creams in more detail
I will be demonstrating How to perform a 10 min routine morning and night
At this stage don't start thinking that this is too much to remember. I promise you, there is nothing to worry about, as we go through each of the steps in detail I will take the stress out of and identifying your skin type, choosing the right skincare products and how to apply them quickly and reliably with lasting effects.

New Zealand Film Festival 2008
It is with great pleasure the New Zealand International Film Festivals announce that Vincent Ward's new feature film Rain of the Children will have its New Zealand premiere in the Auckland Film Festival at the glorious Civic Theatre in July.
The new feature will then screen at the Wellington Film Festival and the 14 other New Zealand film festivals around the country.
The screenings will follow the film's world premiere next month at the Sydney Film Festival where it is one of 12 films included in their first Official Competition. Sydney Film Festival director Clare Stewart has written that the film is "deeply personal and incredibly moving" with "magnificently re-created historical sequences featuring Rena Owen among a superb cast of Maori actors."
Rain of the Children uncovers the story of the Tuhoe woman who was the subject of Ward's In Spring One Plants Alone, which he made fresh out of art school at the age of 21.
"There could be no more appropriate occasion to welcome Vincent back to the Film Festivals", says festival director Bill Gosden. "The last film of Vincent's to premiere with us was in fact In Spring One Plants Alone in 1980."
In Spring One Plants Alone was about the day-to-day life of 80-year-old Puhi who lived in a remote part of T?hoe country in the Urewera Ranges looking after her 40-year-old son Niki, who had schizophrenia. Ward lived with Puhi for 18 months and during this time became her "mokopuna m?", her white grandson.
In Rain of the Children Ward sets out to unravel the mystery hidden at the heart of his earlier film: "People said that she [Puhi] walked in two worlds, the living and the dead. But gradually I began to understand that the personal dramas in her past were the key to understanding who she had become", says Ward.
Through Ward's eyes we learn the extraordinary details of Puhi's life. She was the daughter-in-law of the great Tuhoe prophet Rua Kenana who chose her at the age of 12 to marry his son Whatu. She escaped from a 1916 police raid and gave birth in the bush to the first of her 14 children. After many tragedies, she was left with only one of them.
Interviews with Tuhoe elders and Puhi's descendants are interspersed with striking archival photos and dramatised sequences filmed in Tuhoe locations (Maungapohatu, Waimana and Ruatahuna) with a largely Tuhoe cast – virtually all of them related to Puhi. Miriama Rangi, Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison also star. Ward narrates and features in the film which gives us insight into his unique relationship with the enigmatic character of Puhi.
Rain of the Children will be premiering at the 40th Auckland International Film Festival on July 12 and the Wellington Film Festival on July 19, with the 14 other New Zealand International Film Festivals to follow.
Stay tuned for more Film Festival news.

The CEO Chang Han Kim of the PUBG Corporation, the developers of popular battle royale game PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds has said in an interview that he wants eventually PUBG to be on every platform with his eyes set on the PS4 platform, he said "Early Access on Steam and Game Preview on Xbox One are like pre-release, so they don't have a restriction on quality. However, PlayStation is very strict about this," Kim added. "There were cases where a game took 6 months more to launch even when it was already completed. We are still in the stage of learning the console development environment and console gamers' taste. We need to think about other platforms after evaluating and completing the Xbox One version first."
SEE ALSO: 10 Stealthy Secrets You Need To Know About Metal Gear Solid
Finally, Kim spoke about his vision of what PUBG could become, "We want to take part in diverse industries including Esports, movies, drama, cartoons, animation, and more. In fact, we received a couple of love calls from a number of developers in Hollywood and Netflix." This will be very interesting and PUBG could potentially pull it off, however, I am personally a bit skeptical as PUBG has no actual story or lore and the characters are just aesthetics and it may be a bit hard, but the game is still very popular and whatever spin-offs they create will definitely still gain some hype.

Shoulder surgery tweets
For those of you unaware, I had shoulder surgery last week. I recall finding it incredibly amusing watching @ninjalikescheez tweeting immediately following surgery, so I decided to follow suit and risk public embarrassment and shame by doing likewise.

The Mighty Feroza
Pierre-em and I went 4WD'ing in his mighty Feroza on the weekend. And here's a short video clip from the end of our journey and back onto a real road!

Browsing through a magazine recently, I came across an advertisement of a famous international airline that had this as its caption "What I loved was the extra effort you took to make me comfortable." The accompanying picture was that of a passenger enjoying the warm hospitality of the airhostess who brought him all he needed to make his journey a comfortable one. Somewhere else, I read that, in Pretoria, there is a statue erected of President Kruger, South Africa's Boer leader. At his wife's request, the sculptor has left the statesman's top hat hollow, so that it can collect rainwater for the birds. This is true kindness, which manifests itself even when the person is dead.
In a dog-eat-dog world, where you find colleagues and bosses pulling each other apart, trying to do as little as possible whilst dumping the dirty work onto newcomers or subordinates, it is indeed refreshing to encounter a lone lily in the pond, doing his or her duty for the sheer pleasure of pleasing others. There is no ambition to outdo or impress, just a soul simply serving to satisfy. I recall a time when I was in hospital, having given birth to my fifth child -a premature baby boy. After the delivery, I was reeling from the aftermath and there was this nurse who brought me a cup of tea and my favourite jeera buns with a gentle smile of sympathy. I can never forget her face or her name –Maryrose!
For people such as these, there are no perks in salaries, no promotions to the top storey, none to appreciate their work except those who receive their benevolence. A mother once narrated to me this incident. She said, "My son was serving as a waiter in a hotel and he was called repeatedly to one particular table with constant demands. He served them with great patience and, at the end, one of the occupants came up to him, tipped him heavily and told him that he truly appreciated the prompt service. For my son, more than the tip, it was those words that he most treasures."
Going the extra mile is like adding sugar to a cup of coffee. One can easily drink coffee without sugar; in fact, diabetics are forced to do so for health reasons. But diabetics will tell you how miserable they feel to have to adapt to this kind of change. There is no joy in drinking that cup: they will readily embrace sugar-free versions. So too when we meet a person who is happy to serve us with a smile and who is working for our welfare, not hers or his, it makes us feel blessed and automatically, we want to bless that person either through words or deeds. It takes a selfish person not to respond to kindness with kindness.
Speaking of kindness, one of the outstanding poll personalities that fits the bill of going the extra mile, whether it's via his campaign jaunts on cycle or his magnificent manifesto on kindness is worthy of our vote for the simple reason that he has blessed us with his courage under fire. He has proven beyond doubt that his is not a personal or political propaganda. He, like the God he serves, has the people in mind. "Cast your burdens upon me, take my yoke" seems to be his clarion call and his promises ring true. Will Goa go the extra mile with him? That would indeed be a huge dollop of sugar in our collective coffee!

As Belfast's Therapy? tour their 15th album Getintothis' Howard Doupé headed out to prove that they still have something to say after near 30 years.
It's a fairly cool Friday night and this is one town that doesn't need reminding Friday nights are meant for music, beer and all-round good times.
Coming into Gorilla tonight there doesn't seem to be too much evidence that anything more than a regular student club night is on. There's plenty of room by the bar and not a single sight of a discarded plastic pint pot strewn across the floor.
It's fair to say there does feel an air of anticipation, which should be expected. After all Therapy?'s back catalogue is bulging. We're pretty sure you could bet there won't be many people these days who's initial venture out to their first gig will still find them gigging 24 years later. That's testament to Therapy? for still hammering away at the rock game.
Support King Creature on at early doors, certainly set about instilling the night as a metal one. Wearing uniform patches, black vest tops, chain laden jeans the Marshall stacks are squealing. It's a ferocious sound but with the acknowledgement that riffs and hooks make a tune.
There's so many metal reference points on show here, thunderous double kick-pedals a-plenty as the drummer gives his hair some air. It might be one guitar squeal too many for this set of ears but as a live experience it's not bad being a metal tourist for half an hour.
Yeah those fingers must be smouldering with all the fret board work but warming up the audience is perfectly executed by this Cornwall four-piece. By the time their set comes to an end, turning around to see what's going on reveals how the room has filled up immensely. Not long till the main event.
Known for its well air conditioned room, there's a surprising amount of stifling heat down the front that just adds to the increasing pre-set intensity of the tunes filtering through the PA. It's rammed by the time Andy Cairns, Michael McKeegan and Neil Cooper take to the stage.
The set starts with Wreck It Like Beckett the first track of their recently released Cleave. The pace rarely lets up. Tonight, in this cramp, sweaty room the love felt for the band is heart-warming. Ever the charismatic front man, Cairns is on fine form tonight, engaging with the faithful devotees in-between almost every song.
Deep Cuts Christmas Carnage comes to Jacaranda Records Phase One featuring RongoRongo
It's fair to say he's a man with something to say. Multiple times tonight he's on a politically-charged manifesto. Don't worry, it's not all Bono-insipid drivel. Instead Cairns repeatedly calls out music as a powerful tool that brings communities together, something that the current world climate seems hell-bent on pulling apart. Cairns is genuinely concerned about things and is so indebted to the fans for sticking with them all through the years.
As a reciprocal thank you, tonight was a far more career-spanning set compared to the last time we saw them opening up for The Stranglers earlier this year. Instead, those classic Therapy? tunes are only littered with a few cuts from the latest LP. Some real early tunes from Face The Strange and ShortSharpShock EP's really get the mosh-pit going.
It's exactly at this point a mere 25 minutes in that a full pint ricochets off our shoulder soaking at least three people around us. Yes, it's now officially a proper alternative metal, punk rock gig!
The passion for the music is as strong as ever for these three. It's quite inspiring to see. How many other bands can keep going after 28 years in the business and still be throwing tunes out like they're playing them with the eagerness of freshly written offerings.
Of course the hit singles get an airing but the sheer volume means there's an eight song encore in order to do so. Who can blame 'em? We don't think the crowd would have minded a few more hours of this.
It's been a right old trip down memory lane tonight. Spot on lads.

Defining moments in life - No.14
That's not totally true, it did cost me something - I had to go into our local barber's, and in front of a line of old men waiting to get their 'short back and sides', I had to ask for a packet of Durex (in the UK they weren't called condoms back then). In those days you couldn't just go and quietly hide them under the cornflakes packet in your supermarket shopping basket. I slinked in there and the guy said, 'So what do you want then?' I died a thousand deaths as I could feel all these old men thinking, 'Oi, you're too young to need those, and you're not married either, you dirty hippy!
After a while I sussed out that one of the local garages had a vending machine in their loo that sold condoms, albeit at twice the price, but I didn't care. Anything to be spared running the gauntlet of the local barber's, phew!!

Looks like you have a bit of work yet before you will be ready to put an improved suspension to good use from the pictures you posted. Remember the air box supports the back of the carbs on this bike so if you decide to go with Uni foam filters, you may want to switch to the shorter rubber manifolds or look at making a small support bracket for the back of the carbs. The original side covers were ABS and broke easily. They are no longer available from Suzuki but there are a couple of people offering reproductions these days. The PEI cover is available off ebay unless you got it with the bike?

These following breaking
methods outline the actual techniques
used once you have properly conditioned
your hands. Conditioning allows your
hands to withstand impact but these
techniques give you the ability to break
objects. These techniques are my
personal variations on the standard
methods. Use
these methods with caution
and proceed at your own
When beginning to
practice breaking or when
breaking extremely strong or
rough materials, you may
want to place a small folded
towel on the striking
surface as a safety
precaution. When practicing
extensive breaking, a wrist
brace is a also good idea.
Palm heel and straight
punch- The palm heel use
usually the first technique
learned because it is
powerful and has the least
chance of injury. The punch
is advanced due to the hard
bone contact and need for
superior conditioning. Both
of these weapons use the
same thrusting movement. The
only difference is the
contact surface and how you
hold your hand. Of course,
you must make contact with
only the first two knuckles
(next to the thumb) when
using the fist. People
untrained in karate tend to
make contact with either the
last two knuckles or the
entire hand. All you have to
do is look at the size of
the first two knuckles to
realize that they are better
for breaking. These two
knuckles are also in line
with the bones of the wrist
and arm, providing the
necessary support structure
to absorb impact.
Observe the standard
dictates of karate punching
for both the fist and palm
heel. Utilize hip movement
to add power to your strike.
Remember to keep your elbow
close to your side at all
times in order to preserve
linear movement. To help
with this, just keep your
arm so that it brushes
against your side as you
strike. The faster you move,
the better your chances are
of breaking.
Above all else, make sure
the movement you are making
feels powerful. Everyone's
structure is a little
different. Guidelines are
only there to help you find
what works best for you.
Tegatana (shuto or
knifehand)- This is the
classically recognized
"karate chop." See this
technique, and you know you
are watching martial arts in
action. For this reason, it
is the first technique that
I practiced for breaking and
is still my favorite
technique for breaking with
spacers. It is superb for
penetrating strikes. I
personally never preferred
the palm heel or hammerfist
because they do not seem
like classy techniques to me
(but hey, whatever works
best). I devoted my first
two years of breaking to
perfecting my knifehand. Its
combat applications are also
This are the outlines of my
techniques (hammerfist
may be substituted):
Traditional technique
1. Stand with your feet at a
45 degree angle to the break
with your body rotated away
at a 90 degree angle. The
lead leg is opposite to the
breaking hand.
2. Pull back across your
body to the hip with the
free hand.
3. Follow by turning your
body to face the break. Do
not rotate past the break.
4. Bring the elbow of the
breaking arm up above the
head, fully extending the
tricep an d pointing the
elbow tip to the ceiling.
5. Pull down forcefully with
the tricep and the muscles
running down the side of the
6. Direct the force out
towards the fingertips while
pulling the elbow down
towards your side. The
outward momentum plus the
pulling down and in with the
elbow will load the hand
with blood and energy,
translating to speed. The
large swinging motion
rapidly condenses into a
smaller, tighter pull of the
arm which will generate
Modified Technique
(the one I use)
Many of the previous steps
apply with two variations:
1. Face the break with the
lead leg on the same side as
the breaking hand.
2. Bring the arm around and
over your head,rotating into
the break. You may follow
through by striking past the
outside of the lead leg in
order to add speed.

McGregor – Some days, the dragon wins. On other days, the dragon only appears to have submitted to defeat.
So it goes.
Trella Hughes, director of the McGinley Memorial Public Library in McGregor, Texas, appears to have a bemused understanding of the concept a day after the reluctant application of public funds saved her library's state certification.
The library is housed in the town's old movie theater, a building located on the main street downtown on Highway 317, a bleak and nearly bee-line straight stretch of road that leads to a hook-up with Interstate 35 at Belton, thence to Georgetown and on to Austin.
The City of McGregor contributed $11,000; the County of McLennan $5,000. The library, which serves a population of 7,472 circulating 10,500 items each year using its collection of 14,196 volumes, will retain its certification.
What do the patrons of the library receive in return?
The result, according to Ms. Hughes, is nothing - so far. What, then, exactly, does a local library receive in return for this state library certification?
"We don't know. Until they come up with their new – well, I don't know what you would call it," said Ms. Hughes, recalling past days when state funding covered grants for books, computers, reading programs, and inter-library loans.
The State library Board will meet in September to form new plans with what to do about its non-existent budget following a legislative session that left the state library system virtually penniless.
Their formula for certification is based on a numerical formula that assigned the number 385 to the city's population of 7,472, the number of voumes in the collection, transactions thoughout the year, and other factors. Multiplying the number by the population set the formula for matching funds from local government at $16,000 in order to retain that all-important certification. What did that state certification guarantee in the past? Lone Star Grants.
Are there any Lone Star Grants to be had today?
Even the most basic services are up in the air. The Interlibrary Loan Service is a method whereby rare or out-of-print books may be loaned from other certified libraries located elsewhere in the state or the the nation to local patrons who would like to use them. They are sent through the U.S. Postal Service under the local parcel rate for books.
How will that service be provided now?
Ms. Trella said she believes patrons will be required to pay for it.
Then there is the Summer Reading Program. Kids who are out of school are encouraged to come to the library and check out books appropriate to their reading development, in order to both retain and sharpen their skills during the summer months.
Will the library be able to afford to do that in the future? No one knows.
A generous private patronage and corporate sponsorship helps with most needs, according to Ms. Trella.
What, exactly, does a vibrant and dynamic business community derive from such a program?
Well, for one thing, you've got to have people who are literate enough to read the laws and regulations and apply them, fill out the reports, do the calculations and keep abreast of developments in their field. It's too late to start learning how to read after high school graduation. That has taken place in the home throughout America's nearly monumental century-long drive to become universally literate.
What about the taxpayers? How do they benefit?
It helps to have public servants, shop clerks, salespersons, mechanics and investigators who have the basic literacy it takes to service your needs. There is no substitute.
It came down to a vote in McLennan County Commissioners' Court on Tuesday, August 23, to see if the library could get the $5,000 needed to retain the library's certification.
When Commissioner Ben Perry made a motion to bring the matter to a vote, County Judge Jim Lewis refused to do so. He said it should be addressed in a budget session, not in open Commissioners' Court on Tuesday morning.
Somehow, someone changed the judge's mind. How?
No one is talking.
Good. Sometimes, enough said is enough said.
As to the kids of McGregor and Moody - and all through that part of parched, sun-scorched McLennan County - The Legendary Jim Parks hopes like the devil that this time next year, they're all reading up a storm. I'd hate to look into the future and think otherwise.
There was a time when dark came early in this country. That's why they called those times the Dark Ages.

Leonardo Da Vinci's Famous FrescoIt may be hard to believe, but one of the most famous paintings in the world is found in a dark dining room of a church, and only thanks to the meticulous reconstruction and preservation work that restored the important work from the danger of total annihilation, you are about to observe the monumental piece of art.
Because in Milan you will get the precious and exciting opportunity to see one of the most well-known, and frequently quoted pieces of art in the world. This is the fresco of Leonardo da Vinci's Cenacolo Vinciano. There are not many influential works like this, and is rightly considered one of the most esteemed artistic achievements in the history of art. Not to mention the myriad of interpretations, debates, and discussions that revolve around it.
The painting, created in 1498 by the Renaissance man and one of the greatest artists of all time, describes Jesus's last meal, the Passover Seder, together with the twelve apostles who surround him. At that meal he would announce to his emissaries that one of them was to turn him over to the Romans.
Many believe this is the most famous mural in the world. Indeed, the painting of the dining room wall in the small Dominican convent of the Church of Santa Maria della Gracia has over the years been transformed into countless different cultural gestures, from the Simpsons to the Sopranos, the family crime series.
The church itself is very beautiful and unique. It was a Renaissance building severely damaged by the bombing of the city in World War II, in 1943, and was renovated after the war.
About the Painting - Courtesy of Eureka Encyclopedia"The Last Supper" is one of the most famous paintings in art history and one of the most important of Leonardo da Vinci's. It was completed at the end of the 15th century and has over the years won many cultural gestures, from artists who have created artistic gestures to TV shows such as the Simpsons and the Sopranos.
The painting probably describes what was the last Passover Seder of Jesus, with Jesus himself and his disciples. At this feast he declared that one of the twelve apostles would betray him and that he himself would die. By the way, the "Last Supper" was a subject many drew about during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
But Leonardo's "Last Supper" was a revolution – for the first time, Jesus and the twelve apostles were painted without halos of holiness. Leonardo tried (and succeeded) to present Jesus and his men as human beings rather than celestial saints, as was customary at the time.
The picture was drawn on the wall of a convent room in the city. The painting depicting Jesus and his friends was crumbling. The reconstructions of the work, the opening of a door on the wall on which it was painted, the attempt to move to another place, and even the bombing in World War II - all severely damaged it. Even a modern attempt to recreate the painting on the wall only obscured and spoiled what was without a doubt a glorious creation. Only in the last few decades the reconstruction has been more successful and completed, which restored some of the painting's dignity.
The painting uses a special perspective that creates a sense of depth. The diagonal lines seen in the windows and the ceiling give the picture a perspective by becoming narrower, just as the eye sees the deep, three-dimensional reality. This was Leonardo's specialty and he manages to attract the gaze of the beholder to the figure of Christ in the center of the painting.
The apostles' figures are divided into triads, a hint of the Holy Trinity that is so important to the Christians. There are six apostles on each side of Jesus. Pay attention to the depth of the characters and the movement embodied in each one. Especially of the traitor, Judas Iscariot, is clearly visible. There is a literary description in which Leonardo the artist is described as one who sought "the most corrupt man in the world" to be a model for Judas in the painting. In the book, he finally finds a German merchant who suits exactly what he is looking for.
TipsSince only 25 visitors are allowed to see the painting at any given time, visitors must buy an entry ticket in advance on the internet. It is also recommended to get in early in the morning, especially during high tourist season, and before the tourist groups arrive and noise levels are high.
The viewing slot for the painting is only fifteen minutes.

After having had a very good reception from our last talk that was held at The Launchpad, Cyberjaya, we have been invited to share our experiences again and this time, it would be happening at WORQ that is located in Glo Damansara.
This event is scheduled to happen between 11.30 am – 1.00 pm on the 29th of March, 2018. This time around, the topic shall be on Providing High-Quality Customer Service through Integrated Communication Strategy.
This case study is very relevant to today's SMEs due to the rise of newer customer support channels such as social media, email, website, instant messaging, and phone. You will learn how the company provides a personalized customer service using a complete view of the customer's cross-channel experience. This has also allowed the company to provide consistently high-quality service across all channels to their customers. The speaker, Deep, would be sharing his extensive experience on the above along with the importance of business automation to scale growth, improve overall customer experience and retain more customers in the long run.
Deep is the Founder and CEO of Soft Solvers Solutions, an MSC status company that provides a cloud-based suite of digital transformation solutions to businesses across Asia and beyond. He has more than 20 years of industry experience and has worked extensively in the Asia Pacific region. He would be bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to this session that would tremendously benefit these budding entrepreneurs.
Right after the knowledge sharing session, Deep would also be available to have one on one conversations on business automation and how to be more customer-centric. SME's should take advantage of this opportunity to learn from a successful entrepreneur.
You could register online by clicking here. Despite being an event that is designed for the SME community, there is no such restriction that prohibits medium to large corporations from joining this session. Please feel free to attend and kindly do disseminate the information to your friends whom you think would be keen to join as well.
With this, we shall be signing off for the week and Thank you for reading this blog of ours. Till we meet again with a new blog post, here's wishing all of you a blissful weekend and we look forward to meeting all of you at 11.30 am this coming Thursday, the 29th of March, 2018 at WORQ!

I have my solid list of recipes that I can whip up without consulting any cookbook or index card. These aren't many, but they are my staples. And perhaps because they are my staples, I quickly tire of them and am constantly looking up new recipes to experiment with. While I try to rip and file recipes from my magazines, I find that I usually just turn to the internet for some culinary inspiration. Now couple this with the facts that I have zero memory and am constantly referring to my computer during cooking with sticky fingers, and I had myself a light bulb moment. Andrea, you need a kitchen computer. Not just any computer, but one that is immune somehow to spills, flour, and sticky fingers.
Then the first iPad came out. Andrea, you need a kitchen tablet. I was pretty sure this was the most brilliant idea ever, at least for my kitchen. But those iPads don't come cheap, especially for the harm that I want to inflict on it via sauces, creams, and syrups.
Then I read 'Are Cookbooks Obsolete?' just last week in the New York Times. This was a fascinating read for someone who hadn't really explored all of the possibilities that tablets bring you via apps, tutorials, and graphics. All I had lusted after was my static recipe in front of me at the touch of my fingers…. but oh, there is so much more. Through swiping and clicking, you can access a true wealth of information. Ahhhh… this sounds amazing! Check out the paragraphs about what the students at the Culinary Institute of America are doing with their iPads. Insane, I tell you, simply wildly insane!
As of today, I don't have my kitchen tablet but am curious if you have one. The article mentions a women who says she won't go anywhere without her tablet. It's not to say that tablets aren't helpful in other facets of life, but I think a specific kitchen one, perhaps with some sort of special kitchen film protector, that lives fully charged and ready at a moment's notice, should have a permanent home on my/your kitchen counter right next to the toaster oven.
Do you have a tablet that you use for cooking? Do you have a kitchen exclusive tablet? Is this just a silly idea?

Anyway, the Liebergott thing made me LOL so much that I thought I'd republish a few choice sections for current Emersonians to enjoy — since the website for the Beakin' and Hyena (the student organisation responsible for it) seems to have become an ad for penis enlargement products. Either that or a really convincing but not in the slightest bit funny parody of one.
[On Friday night] President J. Slappy Liebergott lost the entire Emerson campus in an ill-fated poker wager. The "Dean of the Green" as she become known, was down several hundred thousand dollars when, in a desperate move, she bet the entire Emerson campus. […]Supplementary question: why is this so much more lucid than the papers of many of my freshmen?
Dean Ludman, Dean of Ludmania, said, "Not to worry, the administration has been preparing for this contingent for some years now. A second Emerson campus has been secured and will be in operation shortly. Our alumni association has pooled their resources to buy a 1968 Chevy Impala, which is the same type of car that Coolio rode to the beach for his video, 'Fantastic Voyage.' Emerson students will still be getting the same hands on approach to communications, media arts, and Coolio that they were before."

The benefits of diversification and pitfalls of over-diversification2 min read . Updated: 05 Mar 2018, 01:28 AM IST
Diversification mainly helps in smoothening out income, as you are able to earn from more than one type of asset
Diversification mainly helps in smoothening out income, as you are able to earn from more than one type of asset
Diversification is a very wide term. Applied to investing, diversification refers to adding more than one type of security or asset to your overall financial portfolio. Many average investors do this by default, when they buy small amounts of gold for the future, along with putting money in a fixed deposit and having a second apartment that they may have rented out. Add to this a mix of portion of equity investments and you have a diversified asset portfolio.
Diversification mainly helps in smoothening out income, as you are able to earn from more than one type of asset. Say, the equity markets are in a downturn, you can still rely on your other assets like real estate or gold to generate liquidity.
On the other hand, if your fixed deposits are giving you very little in a falling rate environment, you can maybe look towards growth assets like equity for a higher long-term return in the portfolio.
Diversification can be applied in other ways too.
Investors tend to buy into more than one mutual fund scheme in any one category and fund managers usually have more than one security in scheme portfolios.
Even in case of fixed deposits, very often people have fixed deposits in more than one bank. This can help because, in the worst-case scenario if there is trouble in one security, there would be the comfort that other securities would remain on track.
Portfolio managers—be they in debt, equity or real estate—spread their funds across entities, shares, bonds and projects. If one of the investments doesn't perform as expected, the others are there to rely on.
Another way of effectively diversifying your risk is to invest in assets that are located in more than one country. When you do this, you not only have a different entity within one asset class, you are also taking on exposure in a different currency. For example, if you buy an apartment in the UK, your exposure is in British pounds , not Indian rupees. Similarly, if you invest in a US-based equity fund, you will be exposed to the fortunes of equity investing in the US market and to the changes in US dollar. This is another way to reduce the risk of reliance asset growth cycles and patterns in one economy and get the benefit of trends which are occurring in regions beyond your own.
There is always the danger that in a bid to reduce risk of exposure to one type of asset, company, or market; you end up investing in too many companies across too many markets and asset classes.
What is the danger in doing so? diversifying too much can lead to lower-than-expected returns. The risk with adding too many companies or having every type of asset in your portfolio is that the positive performance of some will be negated by the lack of performance from the others.
The adequate level of diversification is a debatable topic and can also differ across assets and geographies.
In case of real estate, having four or five properties in different cities is adequate diversification. But even this level of diversification is hard to achieve for the retail investor, given the price of each purchase and limited availability of managed funds. On the other hand, in case of equity, owning four or five large-cap funds that have 40-50 shares each may be considered over-diversification.


text: Designed for 30 to 140Ω cable impedances, the iC-HD2, iC-HD7 and iC-HE from iC Haus are line drivers for 5 to 24V encoder applications. Due to the integrated wave impedance, reflected signals coming from the non-terminated line end at the receiver will be absorbed and not back reflected again, thus maintaining signal integrity. For differential signal transmission, the four output stages (iC-HE: three output stages) are designed as complementary drivers. The push-pull output stages are current limited and short circuit proof with thermal shutdown. They can drive typically 200 mA at 24 V supply. For bus applications, the outputs of the iC-HD2 and iC-HD7 can be switched to high impedance state. The iC-HE contains a current source to supply a common LED encoder illumination. Its output current can be set by an external resistor to be in the range of 1 to 50mA. The iC-HD2 is equipped with a 5V reference voltage, supporting up to 5mA output current. All devices feature an undervoltage/overtemperature monitor, shutting the outputs to high impedance in case of such an event. With iC-HD2, in addition, the open drain error output will be activated. All inputs are CMOS and TTL compatible and ESD protected. The operating temperature range is from -25 (optionally -40°C) up to 125°C. The devices iC-HD7 and iC-HE are available in SO16 resp. SO14 package. The iC-HD2 is available in a TSSOP20 package, optionally with Thermal Pad. As a special version of iC-HD2 with Thermal Pad, increased shutdown temperature, and high voltage inputs, the iC-HDH2 is recommended.


text: Will do. The good thing is it's only 200 yards or so away from my house. The bad thing is it's only 200 yards or so from my house. Been all over the net and found out I can partially disassemble it. Not sure yet how much that will help. I've heard the remaining will weigh 250 to urr maybe 500 lbs. We do have access to an engine hoist and I'm thinking of building a cradle for the table on wheels so I can at least move it a bit as things are pretty tight in my shop. Besides I still need to make room for more motorcycles!!!!! I cannot believe the stuff that comes with it. I'll try and get some photos tomorrow. Jack and Buck

Invasive disease caused by antibiotic resistant pneumococci is a worldwide problem. All invasive pneumococcal strains in an area of south-west Sweden with 1.7 million inhabitants were collected prospectively during 1998-2001. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by E-test and correlated to serotypes and clinical characteristics. Of 827 strains, 744 (90%) were susceptible (S) to all agents tested and 83 (10%) were indeterminate (I) or resistant (R) to at least 1 agent. 22 isolates (2.7%) were I to penicillin (MIC gt0.06 to ≤1.0 mg/l), but none were R (MIC gt1.0 mg/l). Numbers and proportions of decreased susceptibility against other agents tested were as follows: erythromycin R: 30 (3.6%), clindamycin R: 6 (0.7%), tetracycline R: 16 (1.9%), moxifloxacin R: 1 (0.1%), cotrimoxazole I: 17 (2%) and R: 31(4%). Non-susceptibility to at least 1 agent was not correlated with age, clinical manifestation, underlying diseases and outcome. The serotype distribution differed between non-susceptible and susceptible strains. The serotypes in the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine covered 42% of all infections and 73% of those caused by non-susceptible strains. In conclusion, the impact of antibiotic resistance in invasive pneumococcal disease remains limited in south-west Sweden.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the major contributors to mortality and morbidity around the world. It causes a wide variety of diseases ranging from uncomplicated respiratory infections to life-threatening invasive infections such as meningitis and septicemia. In recent years, the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy has been hampered by the increasing rates of resistant pneumococci. As antibiotic resistance increases, there is a growing need for interventions that minimize opportunities for development and spread of resistant pneumococci. The aim of this thesis was to learn more about emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant pneumococci using both theoretical and empirical methods. Since the increasing prevalence of resistant pneumococci is mainly due to the spread of strains belonging to few clones, interventions for controlling pneumococcal transmission in the community were studied. Model predictions suggested that interventions for efficiently control organism transmission should include reduction of group sizes in the day-care centers. Simulations also indicated that it appears extremely difficult to reduce the rates of penicillin non-susceptible pneumococci by simply decreasing the penicillin consumption assumed that reduced penicillin susceptibility does not imply a fitness cost for the organism. Managing the penicillin resistance rates in pneumococci then probably requires a more restrictive use of penicillin together with other control measures such as vaccine programs. Although clonal spread is the primary mechanism for the rapid emergence of resistance in pneumococci, natural competence for genetic transformation also seems to be involved. Further molecular understanding of competence regulation is important to be able to prevent horizontal spread of resistance genes. Studying the competence regulation by theoretical means led to the conclusion that down-regulation of competence is probably caused by a repressor acting on the comCDE operon at the level of transcription. Despite the globally emerging frequency of resistant pneumococci, we conclude in a prospective study that antimicrobial resistance in invasive pneumococci in south-west Sweden remains limited. Any correlations between resistance pattern and clinical parameters could not be revealed. However, the serotype distribution was observed to differ between strains with reduced susceptibility and fully susceptible strains as isolates with decreased susceptibility more frequently belonged to the serotypes included in the 7-valent vaccine.
