Sustainable production
For Vandersanden Group, sustainable production is a reason to invest in clean energy. The installation of 15,000 solar panels on the roofs of the factories in Hedikhuizen and Spijk will begin this year.
15,000 solar panels
The Belgian factories in Spouwen and Lanklaar have been fitted with solar panels since 2011. This year we are starting work on some of our factories in the Netherlands. Nuon will supply 15,000 solar panels to our factories in Hedikhuizen and Spijk. They will be installed by Nuon's specialist subsidiary Feenstra. Work will begin at the end of the summer and will last until early 2018.
Sustainable strategy
The factory in Hedikhuizen already uses 100% green energy for production. The extra solar panels will enable us to produce more ourselves. The solar panels on the two factories will have a total installed capacity of over 4 MWp, which is equivalent to around 1000 households. So our bricks will get an extra sustainable side.
Jean-Pierre Wuytack, CEO of Vandersanden Group: "By installing the solar panels, a quarter of our electricity consumption will have been made sustainable. This fits in perfectly with our strategic vision of becoming the most sustainable company in the brick-making industry."

Fonts aren't quite as sparse as you think. http://iosfonts.com/ And as for Chinese, I would never play a game where the text is all questions marks! You may not play a game because you can spot the Tahoma font from 50 paces but I think you'll find most people can't notice or don't care or are more interested in the pretty graphics, the gameplay etc. Especially if it's only used in the instructions or the credits which nobody cares about anyway, they just scan it quickly so they know how to play the game.zorg wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 3:58 pmThen again, i'd probably not play a game that used some bog default font, ideographs or not, unless it used such a font for meta reasons (overused example being comic sans in undertale), but a game using arial or whatever to me seems like it's not even trying to have its own character; like what you'd expect from a prototype.
I think I'd be more bothered about download time time in China than having my credits page have a unique font that takes up 13 MB.
Its also about download time. The Apple store is pretty slow in China and so downloading a large app can be a dealbreaker. If it get's stuck then people just give up on it and try another one. There's so much competition.zorg wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 3:58 pmMS Mincho is probably similar in terms of one expecting just a bit less generic font in a game, and there are other fonts available with ideographs. (that are useable in games free/open/commercial/whatever AND can be redistributed)
As for the filesize, since phones nowadays do have a relatively large space, even if only with sd cards or whatever, it still comes down to a tradeoff between wanting less of a filesize to your game, or having a more unique font.
It's also the principle that your three Chinese fonts are literally 40 times bigger than the rest of the game. When people are clearing out apps because they're low on memory they tend to delete ones that are nearer 100MB and keep the ones that are 10-20 or less. But it depends on how much the care about the app/game of course too.
Also something that people seem to be missing even though it's the size of baseball pitch right now is that its's a choice...if you don't want to use it or whatever your reasons are then just use the built in font/attach your own fonts or whatever. For those who want to support Asian languages or use the system fonts in places where the size doesn't matter..or indeed when a system font just happens to look better.

Before you go for any international holidays or destinations you must choose the best time to travel in the particular part. And Climatic condition plays an important role to bring out the variation in the best time to travel. If you are planning for Everest then you must know the Best period to hike in Everest Region. You must be well conscious of the climatic condition there. You must know what are the minimum and the maximum temperature you will be facing during your journey. Otherwise, you may face lots of difficulties and also may lead to serious health problems. We recommend that you consider some of the factors before you decide when you want to trek in the Everest Region. Most important of these is undoubtedly the weather which sees huge swings in temperature and rainfall.
As Nepal is stationed in the Northern Hemisphere; its main variations in temperature coincide with the European seasons. You must know well the problems and difficulties you will be facing and the measure to control and solve them too. It would be easy for you if you are traveling through an agency if not you are traveling on your own then it's damn sure you will be facing lots of obstacles.
You may have read about how critical the timing is for the attempts to climb Everest. This is because there is a very short window when the winds from the North and South cancel each other out creating a period of calm. Affect of altitude on the temperature at base camp is an important factor to be remembered. Altitude is really an important factor to be conscious about. As you go higher the oxygen level gets decreased and you must be capable enough to face them. So, besides the main climatic factors, which drive the seasonal variations in weather. The other big factor affecting the weather at Everest Base Camp is the altitude. You can see the altitude profile of the classic Everest trek and the huge monthly difference in temperature compared to Lukla.
Our Recommended Best Period to Hike in Everest Region is classified below:
Taking into account all of the issues surrounding weather, these are our recommendations.
February – May
February to May is a suitable period to trek with clear, bright days and warmer conditions. Just coming out of winter, you can still expect the occasional short shower. But most days will be fairly stable and dry. And look out for the marvelous Rhododendrons on display during May!
This time is the busiest period or most occasional period for attempting Everest Region. Expect this period to be busy though, as this is the time of year when most Everest summit attempts occur. That being said, if you're into the mountaineering scene, this is a great time to actually meet people attempting the summit and to feel the activity and buzz surrounding the climbing expeditions. Bharal Adventure uniquely offer the chance to spend the night at base camp with a Bharal Adventure expedition team
September – October
September to October is the most popular time of the year for trekkers, as it provides the most stable and clear weather. This is a bonus as most treks offer stunning views which, on a clear day, are simply spectacular. Although not the warmest time of the year, this period provides a pleasant temperature for trekking and the nights do not get super-cold like they do in winter. You will have to contend with a fair amount of traffic. As the popular routes get very busy around this time. This a good time to consider the option of one of the routes that will get you off the beaten track and away from the crowds. Although usually clear, storms occasionally hit during this period and you should bring suitable gear in case of this.
November – January
November through to January is the coldest period on the Nepalese calendar. But hardy travelers, Everest can still trek. Although very cold, the weather is generally fairly stable and dry. The coolness of the weather will very much depend upon how high you want to trek. If you are going to Everest Base Camp for example, then expect overnight temperatures of around -20 to -30 degrees Celsius. However, if you stay down in the valleys the temperatures will remain fairly moderate and you will have no problem. Although far less crowded, please remember that routes over any high passes such as the Gokyo trail or Mera Peak trek are closed during this period and the days will be much shorter.
June – August
June through to August is the wettest period in the Himalaya because of the monsoon. The characterized monsoon period are short, sharp, torrential downpours. Even if you are trekking high you will get rain or very heavy snowfalls. Not many foreign trekkers hike during the monsoon period as mud, rain; leeches and lack of mountain views combine to make it a pretty miserable experience. If you are keen to trek in Nepal during this period we would strongly recommend you look at the Everest region which has much drier conditions during the summer months

The images have become too familiar.
With Katrina, it was the sight of thousands of our fellow citizens drifting down interstates suddenly become dead ends, or crying out for rescue, or simply gone into the stupor of dehydration and heat.
Now we see Rita, repeating the images of flood and destruction. There is less hopelessness, more property destruction.
Recurrent in these and every other hurricane: images of our commercial culture torn apart, with McDonald's arches overthrown and Exxon gasoline signs in tatters. Also the sailboats. The camera always finds more pathos in a sailboat cast onto land than the equivalent motorcraft. The sailboat has more of life to it - like a racehorse, it once was sensitive and powerful and willful. To see a sailboat, keel bared and masts in the dirt, is to have a sense of something powerful and beautiful brought to a helpless state.
The eye of the photographer seeks such images, ones that encapsulate an entire event in one moment. But because the images are powerful, they are often controversial as well.
Two events at North Carolina A&T next month will look at the power of the new media and the pervasiveness of image.
"Images of Katrine: Media and Politics," will be presented by the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication as part of the College of Arts & Sciences Colloquium Series. The panel discussion and town hall meeting will be 3 p.m. Oct. 4 in the New Classroom Building Auditorium.
Later that week, the ConvergeSouth conference will bring together bloggers from across the nation, academics and local folks, a creative class of all kinds.
The Oct. 7-8 event is the fourth such at least partially academic approach to the new media, blogging and citizen journalism, and the first in the South.

it's my friends birthday today, we've been friends since we were ten, which is rare nowadays.
i remember the first time he took me on a motorbike, up Bumpy Lane to home after Middle School 🙂
When he taught me how to ride a motorbike, man that was cool, the bike was a CZ175, it had a reverse gear which is rare on bikes, we found out by mistake 🙂
When we got caught skiving school in an electricity substation and blamed for nearly shorting three villages and an RAF camp. (it was cold outside). that got us an unnamed mention in the local paper.
when we learnt to make smoke rings.
sometimes we'd move away, girlfriends and what not, but we'd always end up nearby again.
i moved away to Wales when i was a teen, trying to find myself i guess, it was difficult being the only southerner or mockney, i got told someone was looking for me, it was my mate, 😀
we became known as The Bedford Boys, even in their newspaper hehehe.
when we took mushrooms for a season, he helped me when i nearly didn't 'come back' a few times.
i was lucky when i moved there, i saw what Heroin does to people pretty quickly, my friend didn't see until it was too late. by then i was back in Bedford, my mate came back with an addiction.
nobody knew. i kept getting told that he's back in the area but i wasn't sure.
one day i was walking about town, paying bills, i could hear someone calling Gary, Gary, Gary,
how many garys are there in a busy town, took me ages to think it might be me they're calling, it was my mate, he'd been trying to find me for a month 🙂
he was the dude that shared my bike ride to Felixtowe and back. i didn't trust anyone else and couldn't have done it without him.
We've shared a lot of adventures, getting arrested more often that not,
my mum thought i was following him into all sorts of trouble, it's just that he had some cool ideas hehehe, but she always liked him cos he's likable anyway, gift of the gab.
his parents hated me, seeing as we were always in trouble, but i've earnt their respect since my daughter was born 🙂
when i was taking my forklift licence, he foned me each day to remind me i was gonna pass with flying colours, which i did 🙂
he took his driving licence and passed last year, i've never been so proud of any friend! 🙂
Let's raise a glass to my main man, partner in crime, Gow.
anyway, this weed won't smoke itself you know, i'm off to share it with the Birthday Boy
Happy Birthday
it's my friends birthday today, we've been friends since we were ten, which is rare nowadays.

The six core infrastructure industries achieved a healthy growth of 7.2 per cent in March as compared to 3.3 per cent in March 2009, raising hopes of a robust overall industrial growth during the month.
The six sectors — crude, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished steel — having a combined weight of 26.7 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), not only improved upon its performance of 4.7 per cent growth in February but also led to a output increase of 5.5 per cent in April-March 2009-10 as against 3 per cent in the previous fiscal year.
Official data released here on Tuesday revealed that leading the core sector pack was finished steel with a production increase of 9.2 per cent as against a negative growth of 1.8 per cent in March 2009. Alongside, coal, electricity and cement posted identical growth of 7.8 per cent each during the month as compared to 5.3 per cent, 6.3 per cent and 10.1 per cent, respectively, last fiscal.
However, while crude oil production increased by 3.5 per cent from a negative growth of 2.3 per cent in March 2009, petroleum refinery products fared poorly with a 0.4 per cent contraction in output in March 2010 as compared to a 3.3 per cent rise witnessed a year ago.
Going the healthy performance of the core sector, analysts expect the overall industrial growth to be over 15 per cent in March also, after having maintained the robust trend for three months in a row till February.

To Get The Job Done
The Proper Way to Deal with a Rodent Problem in San FernandoDespite your best efforts, you may be surprised to find that rats or rodents and other rodents have found their way into your home one day. If left unattended, a single rodent problem can quickly turn in to an all-out infestation. Rodents carry a number of illnesses that are harmful to humans and pets. Further, they can damage property and ruin your food. Here are some steps you should take immediately upon suspecting a rodent problem in your home:
Secure Your Homerats or rodents are experts at finding ways to sneak into your house. Simply keeping doors and windows closed will not keep rodents from invading your home. In fact, rats or rodents are able to squeeze themselves through the smallest holes and cracks in your home that you may not even know exist. At the first sign of their presence, you will want to do a comprehensive inspection of your home to determine how they are getting in. Common points of entry include dryer vents and utility pipes. After you've determined how rats or rodents are getting in, it is vital that those areas are properly sealed off as soon as possible. You can try to do this yourself, but it's best if you consult a professional rodent exterminator to ensure the job is done correctly.
Protect Your KitchenMost homeowners know that leaving food out in the open is an invitation for pests, but if you have an active rodent infestation, you will need to take even more precautions. rats or rodents can easily chew through items like cardboard boxes and plastic bags. For that reason, it's important to place things like cereal and rice in tamper-proof plastic or glass containers, even if your package is unopened. If you suspect that a has already chewed through a package, throw the item away immediately. Even canned foods should receive some extra considerations during a rodent infestation. Rats or rodents will urinate and defecate around any area they inhabit. If rodents are present in your pantry there is a risk that any item in your cabinet could have been exposed. If possible, keep canned items in large storage tubs to avoid contamination. If there's a chance a canned product has already been subjected to rodents, be sure to wipe the lid down thoroughly with a disinfectant prior to opening it. Produce should also be stored in a refrigerator until you are sure there are no longer any rats or rodents in your home.
Utilize Bait and Traps the Right WayTraps may be a good way to catch rodents at home. A standard mistake people make when making use of traps is not using enough. You might not think you have got multiple rodents at home, but you should still set a large amount of traps in case. Underneath sinks, in pantries, and behind large appliances are popular places for rodents to cover. They are the very best areas to place traps and bait stations. If you're still unsure of where the rodents are congregating in your home, consult an expert rodent exterminator. When making use of virtually any bait station or trap, it's important to make sure to place them in places where children and pets can't access them.

TORONTO • The family of the late Joseph Rotman has made a $30 million gift to the University of Toronto school named after the business mogul, the Rotman School of Management.
The latest gift from the Rotman family makes them the biggest benefactors in U of T's history, capping off 20 years of endowments to the school totalling $71 million.
The university said Wednesday it will match the $30 million gift and use it to establish the $45 million Rotman Catalyst Fund.
Conceived by Rotman in collaboration with the school before his death last year at age 80, the fund will act as a "venture fund" for the Rotman School, used to fund new initiatives in management education and enrich student experience.
"The idea of a fund that is all about fostering excellence and fostering innovation is very true to Joe's vision," Tiff Macklem, dean of the Rotman School, said in an interview.
The fund will go towards initiatives in the school's three areas of academic emphasis, entrepreneurship and innovation, leadership in financial management and good governance.
"There has been, and we are increasing the emphasis on experiential and personalized learning," Macklem said, such as a finance lab that allows students to mimic trading a variety of financial instruments.
After earning an undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario, Rotman received a master's degree in commerce from the University of Toronto in 1960 and then studied at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.
He began his business career in the oil industry, founding several oil and gas exploration and distribution companies, including Tarragon Oil and Gas Ltd. In 1987 he founded the merchant bank and private equity management firm Clairvest Group Inc., and remained on its board of directors until his death.
Beyond his donations to the University of Toronto, Rotman was a known philanthropist and supporter of the arts, and served as Chair of the board of the Art Gallery of Ontario and Chair of the Canada Council for the Arts.
In 1993, Mr. Rotman and his family made a $3 million gift towards the construction of a business school at the University of Toronto, which was enriched by $15 million four years later and renamed the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management. In 2007 they donated $18 million.

BY Michael Block
The days are long, the nights are hot and clothing is minimal! With summer upon us, weekend getaways are a must. While you may be used to seeing her tear up the stage throughout New York City, Honey Davenport
will be spending her weekends at the beach. This summer, you can
"Get a Taste of Honey" in Asbury Park and see her "Spunk" on Fire Island.
I caught up with Honey as she gets ready for a summer of fun!
How are you?
What's new in the life of superstar Honey Davenport?
So many things. Two beach towns in one summer. I will be performing in Asbury Park and on Fire Island this summer.
We'll get to that in a second, but any pageants on the horizon?
No, I'm taking a break from pageants to prepare for a huge pageant. Eventually I would like to go back to a national pageant, and I want to take a break from smaller pageants for a year or so to prepare to go back to a big national.
The weather has finally gotten beautiful! The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the crop tops and booty shorts are in full bloom.
It means it's time for summer. Are you ready?
Yes, hello. I've got a sea full of crop tops. One of them, my favorite new one, was given to me by my assistant and good friend Lindsey. And it's a pineapple crop top.
Amazing! So with summer being right around the corner, you'll be venturing out to the beach. Tell us about your gigs over on Fire Island and Asbury Park.
I get two beach days in one weekend in two different very open and accepting towns. The first one is on Friday nights; I'm in Asbury Park for my show, A Taste of Honey. I'm the current reigning Miss Paradise there, which is kind of awesome, because … I get to be like the queen there, and they treat me like the only royalty. And the boys are sexy as hell. Asbury is like so cool, because Paradise was actually opened by Shep Pettibone, who, you know, worked with Madonna for years on "Vogue" and "Erotica" and you name it. He's also like a big, huge part of our LGBT history with the music he's created for various celebrities, and he opened up Paradise and the Empress afterwards. So it's cool to be working for somebody that's so much of a legend. He's created, kind of, the gay sound, you know. So yeah, that's always a wild adventure every Friday, and the music is incredible, because it's Pettibone's club. And then on Saturday night, I bring a party that I do in the West Village on Thursdays to Fire Island. It's called Spunk Party, but when we do Fire Island we up the game, and it's like more of a show. It's like "Magic Mike" meets Fire Island. So it's like completely different than we do in the city.
Why is Fire Island such a mecca for the LGBTQ community?
It's shut off. Like, it's like separate from America. You know, when we leave Fire Island, sometimes my friends are like, yeah I'm going back to America for a second. I'm like, it's separate. It's a beautiful, untouched, gay island—you know, like, all you need is suntan lotion. And if it can double as lube, then you don't need anything else.
Beach or pool?
What are the five beach essentials you need to bring?
Five beach essentials you need to bring? You need sunglasses, and I always forget mine. But you need sunglasses. You need oil, in my case, or sunscreen if you don't have a lot of melanin in your skin. Which is nothing wrong with that—I just like mine. You need a sarong, because wearing clothes on the beach is so wrong. Wait, how many is that? Glasses, oil, sarong. A joint, duh, because you should really embrace everything Mother Nature has to give you. You know, blunts on the beach are the best thing. And then, like, you know, a hot power bottom who's also going to get naked with you.
Go ahead, Gilda Wabbit.
And last, what's your all-time favorite summer jam?
My all-time favorite summer jam is "Summertime," Will Smith.
"Summer summer summertime!"

Music has been evolving as its creation. This advancement of music has contributed to a vast variety of music that all people can enjoy. Designers who make good music, are praised and adored for their talents, and recently this has business lead to many aspiring artists who want to acquire fame and fortune through their music. In the United States music in constantly evolving, and recent years this evolution of music has sped up to a very fast rate. Music has progressed for many reasons including, improved technology, and change in culture, and an aspire to create something new. mp3 download
Generally difference in music has recently been related to the culture. Throughout the Middle Ages music everyday music was positioned in two places, the cathedral and the tavern. This kind of was not a good atmosphere for good music to bloom. However during the Baroque period, 1600-1750, wealthy people commenced to hire musicians to construct music for them. These kinds of patrons would pay the musicians to compose and play music for the patrons enjoyment, and for entertainment at his or her parties. Music would not change very much in Europe for a long time. In America music was commenced to evolve in the own way. This new country had a culture of its and this was reflected in the music and dancing. Certainly one of the key styles of music started from Detroit, and it is called big group. It is called big band, because a huge music group was used to create snappy, catchy tunes. This kind of style of music soon became popular in The european union as well as America in the 1920s. Big band music was very positive for America as a means of entertainment and entertainment.
Adolf Rickenbacker invented the guitar in the later 1920s and in doing so this individual changed music forever. This kind of was initially that folks started out to use electricity to amplify their instruments. Furthermore with the invention of the electric guitar emerged the birth of Jazz music music. Ahead of the electric acoustic guitar came onto the field it was practically impossible to incorporate an any guitar into band music as it was not loud enough, nevertheless the electric guitar solved the volume issue. African People in america strongly hook up rhythm with their music. This is seen in the tribal music of Africa which involves drumming and singing. African-american Americans took hold of the electric guitar and used it to put poppy grooves within the man?uvres instruments and Jazz was born. Jazz was a kind of music that spoke away as somewhat of a rebellion against the culture. It was nothing can beat the music that was enjoyed in church, and it was exquisite for dancing to. African Americans took carry of Jazz to make it a part of their culture. However racism still ran deep in the American culture and many whites dislike punk music because it was generally performed by dark musicians. However white performers commenced to learn the tracks at first written and performed by African Americans, once this commenced to arise more whites commenced to appreciate Jazz. Somehow certain whites thought it was OK to become Jazz as long as it was performed by other white wines. Overall Jazz music was very positive for the American culture because it helped give pride to the African Americans.
Mainly because long as the culture continues to change their will be a representation of this in the music that is consisting. America in particular has a culture that is always changing and growing, and this will, and has, lead to an ongoing change in music. Ordinary n Roll came on the scene in the late 40s and from its start it included rebellion. The word "rock, " as used in Rock n Roll, means to shake some belief, and the word "roll" is slang for sex intercourse. Rolling Stone contended that Elvis Presley's strike "That's alright mama" 1954, was the first Ordinary n Roll song, but this is very controversial. In the year 1954s the youth were transferring from the post conflict era, and moving into a culture of fun loving freedom. Elvis Presley hit the scene wielding his electric guitar and rocking to catchy music. Although by today's criteria Presley's music is considered tame, in the 1955s he was on the cutting edge of teen rebellion. Presley was belittled for gyrating his pelvis during performances, this and his "dirty" lyrics added to a few of his songs being restricted from certain radio areas. Elvis could hardly be ended and his popularity continuing to grow wildly. The culture continued to alter with the introduction of delivery control throughout the 60s and this led to hippie era which was sincerely rooted in music, specifically folk and rock in roll. Hippies were all about having "free love" which resulted in you should be able to have sex with anyone who, wherever, and if you desired, as long as you were not hurting anyone else. The Hippie activity has had very negative effects on society, and it was fueled by rock n roll music.

Karachi: After spending decades in the trade, underworld don Dawood Ibrahim is finally starting to regret the career path he chose for himself. Speaking from his house in
Karachi an unknown location, the underworld don said he should have just opted for a loan from a PSU bank in India instead of entering the world of smuggling, extortion and contract killings. Dawood made these remarks after hearing about Nirav Modi and his dealings with Punjab National Bank.
The dreaded don said ,"Here I had to work my ass off to make thousands of Crores and these guys just apply for a loan and get it. What a waste of my life when I could have just walked into a bank and taken that amount in a loan. No bank officer would have dared to refuse me either. This is why education is important, educated people can get thousands of Crores in the blink of an eye while we have to threaten hundreds of people to get the same amount."
Furthermore, he added ,"Worst thing is, even after working hard to make my money, I have to escape to a country like
Pakistan the one I am in while these guys escape to places like London and New York. Such a difference in life even after escaping from India. I can't even be seen in public while these loan defaulters can attend luxury parties and run their businesses legitimately. I have to run even my legal business illegally."
Meanwhile, PSU bank employees union has said that their appointment letters never mentioned that they have to recover loans as well so they never bother to do it.

As I stated in my previous reading report within my February IWSG post, I read voraciously. It's part of my life. I love it, but I also don't really think about it. It's not something that's always good (I block out the world a little too much sometimes), but it does bring my joy, rest, comfort, inspiration, and a jumble of story ideas in the back of my mind.
My reading count this month was aided by snow days, mid-winter break, the flu, and my local library.
I think every writer starts as someone who enjoys stories - whether they are oral stories, books, movies, or musically told stories. I enjoy all kinds of stories. And given that I enjoy "all" kinds of stories, I'm including a bit about some of the movies and shows I watched this month, too, with small reviews.
SPEED-READING (Warning: Nerd Overshare)As a seventh grader, I was in a mandated school-wide speed-reading program. I enjoyed the challenge and loved the idea that it would help me read more books (so many books so little time). Part of the speed-reading challenge included questions after each reading session to determine how much we remembered.
Because of this, I do well with remembering trivial book details within days of reading books, but I forget the farther I get from my initial read and how much I remember depends on both my enjoyment and how much time I spend thinking over their details afterwards. Some books stick in my mind for a while. Some don't. Sometimes, I think about re-reading an old favorite and all I have to do is touch the cover and I can replay the book in my head in a fast-forward summary version with a fair number of details. It's kind of odd, but these favorites are usually books I've read more than a half dozen times or more.
So, unlike some people believe, speed-reading (especially speed-reading on repeat) does not mean I don't remember anything. I remember whatever struck me as the most important, and that means I remember the details that mattered to me the most at the moment I read the book.
Although it's not a super-power, reading fast is probably my favorite skill, which isn't something I have ever really figured out how to put onto a resume. I'm sure there's a place for it, somewhere. I probably should try to figure out if I could become a book editor (change of career).
Going back again to seventh grade for a moment: a guy at my school broke into the speed-reading teacher's desk and discovered the speed-reading scores of the top ten readers, then went out in search of those readers to befriend them. I was on that list. (The only girl in the top three.) Although I didn't agree with his reasoning exactly (he sounded a bit elitist at first), we did become friends. We talked books, shared books, and I really appreciated knowing people who loved to read like me. I miss that group of friends and when I went to prepare this post, I thought of them. Wherever they are, I wish them many books and enough time to read them.
And now for the:
A truly lovely and unexpected find at the library, The Forgotten Book was magical, mysterious, full of magical realism/urban fantasy and a tiny bit of romance - all set in and near a German castle which houses a school.
I really enjoyed the characters as well as the setting and as a lover of books, it was great to read of a book-based magic system I felt I could really dig into and enjoy on multiple levels even though I'm a "grown-up" and it's YA. I was really impressed by the author, Mechthild Glaser, and I plan to look up more books by her.

The Hills Have Spies by Mercedes Lackey - I enjoyed the way Lackey changed the "trope" of her own world-building in this book. For the first time in a long time, the two main characters are not in a love relationship, but instead are in a father-son relationship. In addition to that nice change, one of the characters isn't sure he wants to become a Herald.
Overall, it was a fun adventure in familiar territory with a few unexpected and welcome twists.
One of the reasons I don't usually write romance or read it is because the first romance books I stumbled upon as a kid were the kind where the heroine is either completely helpless or she gives up her dream/career/life to pursue the knight in shining armor/steamy dude. I never liked how powerless the women were in those books. Although Klassen does show her character, Mariah, in a tough situation and a tough time in history for women, Mariah always perseveres. She writes novels. She ghost-writes. She does what she needs to do to provide for herself and stays strong through her failures. I really appreciate that aspect of the book.
Man Overboard: An Ali Reynolds Novel by JA Jance – a thriller about a killer who cyber-bullies his victims into committing suicide. I liked the way Jance showed each character fully in characterization.
This book isn't in my usual wheelhouse, but I saw it at the library and thought I would give it a try. It was a satisfying read from start to finish, and although I didn't come away saying "wow" for any particular reason, I felt like Jance did a great job with characterization, action, and plot development. In fact, it was really seamless, and so when I think of that, I think "wow!" Not many books achieve seamlessness
Hunter by Mercedes Lackey is a SF-Fantasy-Post-Apocalypse mash-up with humans surviving after a massive disaster (or series of disasters) in small compounds and a few large cities, where they can protect themselves from all of the Otherland creatures who have crossed into the human realm. Out of all the nasty beasties (dragons, harpies, tommyknockers), the only friendly ones are hounds, which come in a variety of hound-like forms to work with Hunters - humans who hunt all the nasty beasties.
My only dislike (and it was a big one for me) - the prejudice that the MC has against "Christers" and the way Lackey blamed the past world disaster on Christians in a fairly obvious way. Even if the main character struggles to overcome her prejudice, I am just tired of seeing Christians or people of any other religious faith (Muslim, Jewish) getting blamed in life or fiction. This dislike made me really glad I got this book from the library.
There are crazies out there in the world, but they aren't limited to one worldview or faith background as far as I've noticed.
Corruption by Nick Wilford is the second book in his Black & White Trilogy. In this novel, Nick shows how hard it is for people to accept and embrace change. The people of Whiteopolis have difficulty in giving up their usual ways of thinking and doing things because there society has been extremely regimented and greed seemed to be a core value. The three main characters from the first novel - Welles, Mal, and Ez - are back to stirring things up, but Welles and Ez also struggle with some of the changes and how to handle them. Mal is faced with an issue that requires justice but also care-taking and kindness to the victims and he must make a tough choice in how he handles his emotions.
One way that Wilford's book stands out in the dystopian landscape is the emphasis on peaceful solutions his characters strive to find. Even when faced with setbacks and a villain who has committed atrocities, they search for a way to handle the situation as non-violently as possible.
Job: a Story of Unlikely Joy is a Bible Study by Lisa Harper. She has an in-depth, seminary-trained approach to scripture lightened by a wonderful sense of humor (I think I've heard her refer to spanks twice in two different studies now and we all laughed).
My Saturday Bible Study group chose this book for our current study, so we started (and it is really good so far), and we'll finish sometime next month or early April. I'm not a huge fan of Job (I've read it 11 times before this so I know how it goes), I like the study so far.
Every time I open this book, I run to my WIP and make changes or work through a problem. It's going to be another month before it finish it.
My older daughter recommended Dunkirk to our family after she'd seen it with friends, but it took us a while to get around to seeing it.
I highly this recommend this film portraying three different timelines which flow into one at the end. I really enjoyed the portrayal of the characters, the unique timeline, and the camera views of the beach and sea. It was heart-wrenching, but beautifully done. My husband did have a bit of trouble with how quickly the boats sank – he knows something about this (engineer brain + experiences with boating during his childhood and with the Navy) but he also acknowledges when ships go down, they take numerous lives with them.
I could definitely watch this again – not right away, but someday.
Kong: Skull Island is a fun romp in the jungle with the beloved Kong and a highly skilled cast portraying some interesting characters.
Only caveat: my hubs and I agree that not all military officers or soldiers are really that gung-ho on bombing and killing wildlife as they are portrayed to be in this movie.
However, again, we did enjoy the movie and the acting is excellent with Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson (finally, a strong woman in a Kong movie), John C. Reilly, and John Goodman. Plus, Kong is pretty awesome in this rendition.
Hanna (2011) – Since we watched the Amazon Prime preview for their upcoming Hana series, we decided to check out the primary source material. We were surprised by the Rotten Tomato rating. We would have given it a 40% not a 72% for dizzying (nauseating) cinematography, odd imagery that didn't quite come together, and an uneven pace.
the acting was really well-done – and that kept the film from being a total bomb. We thought it had an interesting premise, so we are still interested in seeing what Amazon Prime is going to do with some of the same material.
Does anyone else remember Babylon 5?
We started re-watching this award-winning SF series when my husband had a medical procedure last fall.
We've loved watching it again. It's one of my husband's favorite shows and I think if you're a SF nerd, this show is just something you have to watch from beginning to end to see some excellent character and plot arcs over the course of 5 seasons.
If you haven't seen Babylon 5, I recommend it, but I also recommend giving it several episodes before making a decision on it. The sound, video, and editing quality all move upward after a beginning episode that feels a bit like a play rehearsal. At the same time, don't skip those first episodes - they contain important bits of information that play into the entire series!
With the amount of cynicism in this show, I'm not sure they will actually win the day, which makes it a bit of a different superhero show.
I haven't finished watching the first season yet, but it's definitely keeping my attention. It has cynical moments, sweet moments, odd moments, and moments full of laughter. The actors are doing superb work.
I've been re-watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and taking some notes for an unnamed project (shh). I plan to watch the rest of the Indiana Jones series over the next few months, along with The Man in the Iron Mask, a few Star Trek movie re-runs and the two Tomb Raider movies.
Believe it or not, it's all in the name of research - so I'm not even watching these with my family. I'm watching and taking notes.
How do those all go together? Well, I might explain eventually if the project goes well.
I'm also a fan of non-fiction Ted Talks and I viewed this one this month: The Dark Side of Storytelling

If you read the title and immediately asked whether there is a cat in this giallo, I'm happy to inform you that yes, there is indeed a cat. Often times gialli have animals referenced in their titles but don't actually use them; that's not the case here. There's a cat walking around, and guess how … Continue reading Seven Deaths in the Cat's Eye (1973)

Curse of the Faceless Man (1958)
Do you like movies where a super helpful narrator tells you exactly what you're seeing on screen, despite you not actually needing any of his help to understand the ridiculous plot? No? Too bad, because you're getting it here. Italy, 2000 years after the destruction of Pompeii by the volcano Mount Vesuvius. A worker digs … Continue reading Curse of the Faceless Man (1958)
Gunan, King of the Barbarians (1982)
Cool poster. Terrible movie. First off, I don't think the main character actually ends up called Gunan. Instead, it sounds like everyone is talking about his name being Zukahn or Zhukan or something beginning with a 'Z'. Second, he doesn't end up the king of anything. He kills a guy that's a warlord, but there … Continue reading Gunan, King of the Barbarians (1982)
Lady Frankenstein (1971)
It surprises me both in what that movie poster gets wrong about this film as well as what it gets right. The creature does kind of look that way, except half his face is mangled. The dude in the foreground attacking a lady doesn't happen. And Joseph Cotton's name is on there, which is fantastic. … Continue reading Lady Frankenstein (1971)
Death Laid an Egg (1968)
Yeah, that title is unusual. Does it make you more or less interested in watching this late 1960s giallo? As awkward as it is, it does actually fit the plot. Italy, the late-1960s. Italians aren't eating enough chicken, so one clever agrarian who is a member of a consortium of the infamous chicken farming business … Continue reading Death Laid an Egg (1968)
The Church (1989)
Italian horror movies from the 1980s were often a clusterfuck of what-the-fuck plot points and nightmare-inducing hallucinations. The Church is a perfect example; it's not gory the way many of its contemporaries are, but it's freaking bizarre. Scenes feel out of place, connections in time are tenuous, and good luck figuring out what is real … Continue reading The Church (1989)
The Other Hell (1981)
I love a good nunsploitation movie. There's something sexy about the corruption of the most pious, most likely in sexy ways. However, The Other Hell shows this corruption and implies sexuality without ever going into the openly graphic nature of much of its extreme subgenre. It's not a good movie; this is a Bruno Mattei … Continue reading The Other Hell (1981)

Here is a typical situation when a leadership and organizational consultant goes into a new business to help them out. The consultant has a discussion with the client trying to get to the bottom of several issues in the front office. There are multiple paths that needed exploring, but the consultant's process tells him where to start. "Could I please see a copy of your organizational chart?" The client will often answer with something like: "We have four separate entities for business and tax purposes." Which prompts: "Do you have yourselves organized by an org chart?" "No."
So the consultant tries tried a different line, closely related to the first. "Can I see your staff meeting slides?"
"Yes, slides. Or whatever format you use to run your staff meetings."
"We don't have any."
"So how do your weekly staff meetings go?"
"Actually, terribly. Nobody is happy. The principals don't always even show up."
"So what do you think might happen if we offered you a very small deck of slides to guide your staff meetings?" the consultant asks. The CEO replies that his principles probably would object because they wouldn't want an outsider to dictate how they run their meetings and business.
Man, if there's one thing a strong and vocal segment of business and government leaders love to hate, its talk of process. They are the ones who rail against constraining processes and checklists that take away their creativity and initiative. They don't want someone who wrote procedures in a sterile room far away some months or years ago telling them how to perform a function in the heat of the operation.
I was one of those guys…30 years ago.
I was wrong then. Those guys are wrong now.
Nobody is taking away anyone's initiative and right to assess their situation and make the tactical decisions to fix their problems. I'm talking about the importance of developing and following transparent, required procedures for all recurring tasks in your organization from strategic decision-making to maintenance of your physical plant.
Any objective look at human endeavor will show that for the most important tasks, there is a checklist. Who would want to get on an airplane if you even suspected that your crew said "I've been flying for years. I don't need any checklist to tell me how to start and fly a plane."You would want your pilots and maintainers to have followed well-known and detailed checklists to ensure your safety.
Whether it is miners checking equipment one piece at a time before going down the shaft, to pilots reading off checklist items one at a time while performing the task, to pastry chefs following a precise recipe down to the gram of ingredients, to thoroughbred breeders following a specific hygiene protocol in the breeding shed, recurring tasks ought to be performed following best practices and procedures developed over time through a deliberate melding of experience and thinking.
Likewise, any reading of history in pretty much any endeavor will show that the greatest in their fields were process people at core. The genius comes in when the leader follows procedure and takes advantage of brilliance in the small situations. The Plantagenet King Henry II transformed kingship from arbitrary pillaging to promising to uphold his responsibility (rather than privilege) and commitment to legal procedure. When Nick Saban is asked about the key to his long-term success as head football coach at Alabama, he doesn't hesitate to say it is his process. From the pre-season camp to the weekly practice schedule to the pregame meal, everything the coaches, players, and staff do is driven by a consistent process.
The greatest chefs and restaurateurs know that there is far more to success than cooking a great sauce. There is a daily process of receiving the food early in the morning, the prep chef readying the meals prior to the main service, the manager constantly updating the inventory for orders and ensuring tables are full. Even in the world of high end strategic planning, there is a detailed process that melds art and science to achieve a product well worth the price.
When we go to visit clients and partners, I always ask for a written list of what the client thinks are the most important tasks they perform on a recurrent basis. No rush. Then I ask to see the checklists or procedures for each of those tasks. I don't look them over to critique the checklists. I'm initially only interested in whether they have them. If not, then we gather the experts and write them together.
If you are a banker, you produce your procedural paper trail when the auditors come. If you're a safety chief, you routinely check your confined spaces log and ensure proper training for those entering the space. No matter what your line of business, following established procedures protects you when someone questions your outcomes. Documenting your procedures and taking it a step farther by evaluating your people on the performance of their tasks on a regular basis puts you in the small category of serious players. these are the businesses or agencies that people want to work for and inspectors give the benefit of the doubt in the rare times of trouble.
As I mentioned above, following procedures does not remove your originality and opportunities for brilliance. Although Nick Saban diligently follows a weekly schedule, the game situations call for decisions in the minute. Likewise, if you run a large manufacturing plant, you're steeped in process. But you still have the leeway to decide when to have training and who to call in to conduct it. If you run a beverage company, you have specific processes to receive your raw materials and develop your product, but you still use your leadership skills in determining if and when to develop a new product.
Embrace the importance of process. It can only benefit you. If you need help, call us. We'd be happy to walk you through the process.

Magic Masters 2014 - A RECORD YEAR!! From Pres. Eric Lebenson, Briarcliff Rotary
Hello, all -
I will also give a quick review at the meeting on Friday, but for those of you who are wondering - the Harlem Magic Masters game was a tremendous success!! We had about 350 children and adults in the stands, and the Rotary PROFIT was approximately $5000 (depending on the final $$ amount we collect from the program). Bobby Maher has been doing this game for 21 years, and he doesn't remember EVER having hit this mark. An AMAZING accomplishment by the Briarcliff Rotary Club!!
More importantly...EVERYBODY there had an incredible time…I have received many calls and emails, and have seen many people "on the street" who thanked us and congratulated us on another wonderful event!! This is truly WONDERFUL for the community!! PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURES!! (Note: Matty Maher is 6'0'', to give you an idea of these guys' height!!)
I know I have had many Happy Thoughts during meetings leading up to the event, but the following people's help was and is SO appreciated...The event could not have been nearly as successful without:
Bobby Maher…For EVERYTHING he did!! He likes to give others kudos, but he is the true hero here!! There are a million little things that are needed to be arranged every year to make sure this event is successful.
Sean Santiago, Scott Lanoff and sons, Lou Fitzgerald, Linda Urban, Rachel and Tom Leihbacher, Beth Hussein, Anne Cargill, Kris Chittur, Jim Lupfer and Mark Johnson for helping out with the madness at the gate, selling food, and enjoying and supporting our wonderful fundraiser.
Amy & Mark Seiden…For making up the program sign-up sheet.
Jim Lupfer…For getting 300 programs printed for FREE! Helps with the profit!!
All those Rotarians who took ads out in the program including all the Past Presidents who chipped in (or who have promised to do so).
As you can see, as always, it was an amazing TEAM EFFORT...THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
Warmest Regards,

Speaker: Ilia Regini on Health Through Food.
Ilia prefers to buy at a Farmer's Market rather than in the food stores because most processed foods are not good for you. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is hidden under various other ingredients. She listed the following foods as preferred; Olive oil, garlic, serrano pepper, onions, celery, crimini mushrooms, lentils, turnips and parsley. Our Vijaya is a registered nutritionist (Ilia is not) and Vijaya somewhat disagreed with much of what Ilia said saying that Ilia's ideas are radical. Vijaya said that "we should take a balanced approach to our diet". Anne said something like "If you believe in something it will work for you".
Next FRIDAY AT THE BRIAR'S our speakers will be Eric Lebenson and Mark Seiden on Behavior Profile Analysis.

Some Snapshots from highlights of activities:
We all joined Rotary for Service Above Self. The second reason for Rotary's development is networking, which is OK. Rotary consists of a cross section of the community. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others. Membership in Rotary continues one's growth and education in human relations.
Next FRIDAY (tomorrow) AT THE BRIAR'S our speaker will be Illia Regina on Heal Through Food.
