The Decorated School: Essays on the Visual Culture of Schooling bookPosted: December 1, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: art, Asger Jorn, books, Decorated School, Edinburgh, Education, Henry Morris, Hertfordshire, Kenneth Rowntree, London County Council, Nan Youngman, Northern Ireland, Pictures for Schools, Scotland, United States 2 Comments
For the past couple of years I have been following the Decorated School, an interdisciplinary research network which has been considering the implications of embedding art in schools, often through the incorporation into buildings of site-specific work such as murals. Building on the ideas of twentieth century educator Henry Morris (Director of Education in Cambridgeshire, who in the 1940s employed Pictures for Schools founder Nan Youngman as his art advisor), the basic interest is in the idea of an educational environment which is itself part of the child's education. Having attended a couple of their events, a research seminar and a final conference in London, I was pleased to be able to buy a new collection of essays which has arisen from the project over its two-year life span.
Like the eventual reach of the project and the network of researchers which grew up around it, The Decorated School: Essays on the Visual Culture of Schooling is wide in its scope, ranging from interwar Scotland to post-war Britain to France, the United States, Japan, Denmark, Kyrgyzstan and Northern Ireland. Although some essays were familiar from being presented at Decorated School research events, others were new to me, with a particular highlight being Shona Kallestrup's essay on Danish artist and writer Asger Jorn's site-specific works for the Arhus Statsgymnasium, which highlights the difficulty of reconciling his vibrant, experimental murals with the academic formalism of the educational environment and building in which they were to be situated.
Early in the book, Annie Renonciat sets the scene really well for the following essays, detailing some of the goals outlined historically by those aiming to get art into schools. In the French context Reconciat focuses on, as elsewhere, these encompass the interrelated goals of educating an 'aesthetic sense' in children, enabling France to compete with other industrialised nations in the field of design, educating of the taste of the masses, and using art to uphold certain moral standards. Focusing on the period from 1880 to 1939, she provides an illuminating glimpse onto the efforts of bodies such as the L'Art a L'Ecole to create a visual environment in schools. Jeremy Howard's chapter on 1930s Edinburgh is also really good background context for considering art in schools, introducing some of the individuals and ideas which laid the ground for art in schools later in the twentieth century: the words of William McKechnie, Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Education Department, quoted here, reveal that access to art and design is a privilege of the citizen of modern, democratic Scotland, and something to be proud of, which will help the Scot to become a citizen of the world, explaining that the awakening of the 'aesthetic sense' will enable young people to practise critical discernment. Another highlight is Dawn Pereira's examination of the London County Council's post-war patronage scheme with regards to schools, with particular reference to what types of artworks were considered to be suitable for schools, and the tensions which arose between head teachers, governors, artists and committees in the choosing and siting of artworks for schools.
Featuring individual artworks which have been rediscovered and reevaluated in recent years, in Hertfordshire, Edinburgh and elsewhere, the book is beautifully designed and illustrated, with colour photos throughout of artwork in situ in schools as well as in close-up detail, which really brings home how vibrant an educational resource art can be in a school context (I absolutely LOVE the cover image, a detail of a mural in Barclay School in Stevenage, Hertfordshire by Kenneth Rowntree, who also contributed to Pictures for Schools, which combines abstract forms referencing mathematical concepts with elements suggestive of storytelling and landscape, in bold block colours). The visual imagery is backed up by an engaging overview of how art education, artwork in schools and the concept and aims of visual appreciation has developed over the past century and a half, and how it can continue to be a fruitful area for both educators and researchers in the future.

AD/CV Notices: Wood Flooring, Garment Hangers
Wood Flooring. In the final results of its administrative and new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood flooring from China for the period Dec. 1, 2012, through Nov. 30, 2013, the International Trade Administration has determined weighted average dumping margins of zero to 58.84 percent for dozens of companies. AD duties based on these rates will be assessed on entries of subject goods during the period of review, and AD cash deposits at these rates will be required for subject goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after July 15. The ITA also found that a number of companies had no qualifying shipments of subject goods to the U.S. during the period of review and rescinded this review with respect to two companies because they have been excluded from the order as a result of litigation.
Garment Hangers. In the preliminary results of its administrative review of the AD duty order on steel wire garment hangers from China for the period Oct. 1, 2013, through Sept. 30, 2014, the ITA has determined a weighted average dumping margin of 33.24 percent for exporter Shanghai Wells Hanger Co. Ltd.

Robert J. Kavlock, PhD, is the recipient of the 2018 Society of Toxicology (SOT) Merit Award. Dr. Kavlock has been selected as the recipient of the Merit Award in recognition of his distinguished contributions to toxicology throughout his career as a scientist and later as a leader in the field of computational toxicology.
For more than 40 years, Dr. Kavlock conducted research and led the science at the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). He began at the US EPA as a biological researcher and worked his way up through the agency, becoming branch chief and then director of the Reproductive Toxicology Division. In 2004, he began laying down the foundation with like-minded, computationally inclined colleagues for the creation of US EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology (NCCT) in 2005.
Under his leadership as founding director, NCCT became a major innovative force for change within the US EPA, operating under a mandate to utilize modern computational tools, technologies, and expertise to help transform toxicological research within the agency. Dr. Kavlock's leadership at the US EPA was visionary and he was instrumental in the launching of the US EPA Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast).
In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences reinforced the directions of the US EPA's computational toxicology program in its report Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy. Dr. Kavlock helped forge the creation of Toxicology in the 21st Century (Tox21), which brought together the US EPA, National Institutes of Health, and later the US Food and Drug Administration in a coordinated and complementary research consortium. Subsequently, the US EPA's computational toxicology program created publicly available databases, which provide easy access to toxicological information on more than 500,000 chemicals, representing findings from 30+ years of animal toxicity studies; high-throughput screening data on nearly 3,000 chemicals; and information on the use of more than 40,000 chemicals in consumer products.
Dr. Kavlock accepted the position of deputy assistant administrator for the US EPA Office of Research and Development in 2012 and became acting assistant administrator in 2017. In these roles, Dr. Kavlock was routinely faced with complex scientific issues, which required his ready knowledge and understanding of the subtle nuances in order to make decisions impacting his department, his agency, the United States, and beyond. More recently, Dr. Kavlock led a workshop of international regulators to understand the barriers to alternative methods in risk assessment and how to increase acceptance globally.
A highly-productive scientist, Dr. Kavlock has more than 200 peer-reviewed publications. His work has been cited more than 11,000 times; a testament to the extent his peers value his contributions. He has received numerous awards, including many high-level awards within and outside of the US EPA. A member since 1988, Dr. Kavlock also has been very active in SOT and has participated on many Society committees. He served as president of the North Carolina Regional Chapter, president of the Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology Specialty Section, and on the Editorial Board for Toxicological Sciences.

NYPD: Eric Garner's Killers Must Be Brought To Justice -- Charles Barron
Charles Barron
Following the choke-hold killing of Eric Garner by one of several NYPD police officers who confronted him on July 17 --and incident captured on video by a bystander-- former New York City Councilmember Charles Barron, who will join other elected officials, activist and community residents at 2pm on Staten Island, issued the following statement:
"This madness must stop! These low-life savages choked an unarmed Black man to death who was pleading with them to leave him alone. After getting Brother Eric Garner in their death grip, he told them over and over again that he couldn't breathe. These dogs kept attacking until there was no life left in his body. In 1978 our beloved Brother Arthur Miller was choked to death by NYPD. I was a part of a movement led by Rev. Herbert Daughtry, and the Black United Front that demonstrated and succeeded in getting the choke hold outlawed. This choke hold is illegal. They must be brought to Justice. Enough is Enough! Black life is precious! We must protect ourselves! R.I.P. Brother Eric Garne! My condolences to the family".

New Friend Found!
Hey! Look who I met this afternoon, my fellow comrade from the north. When North meets South!
I was riding my trishaw along the Jalan Merdeka area, Newton Culture Food Village when suddenly I saw this Penang trishaw on display at the side area of the Food Village. I told myself that I will have to make a stopover so that my trishaw could take photographs together with her new friend found.
That was the one and only Penang trishaw I ever seen in Malacca.
While taking photographs, a gentleman walkover and we began to chat. I told him about my charity event and guess what, he kindly made a donation for one of my charity organisations. Bravo! His name was Mr Wong from the Newton Culture Food Village (drink counter).
My trishaw was so happy today and I bet she will be pleased to meet more of her Northern comrade (Penang trishaw) when we arrived in Penang ….. Even though she will have to endure the long and tough distance ride. This blog is specially dedicated to my trishaw. He! He! He!
Best Wishes to all the sun chaser team

Last Friday, Dean and I had a date. You know it was a long week when you don't take a photo together but instead take a photo of your drinks...
We took a day trip in to the aquarium. It had been so long! I took a ton of photos and then realized I'd taken the same ones over and over the past 8 years since moving back. So....I deleted several but kept a few of my favorites...
The "look down" fish. These used to be housed in a giant column-like aquarium but it was destroyed in Katrina. Now it it a wall. It is still nice but I always liked being able to walk around the original...
the seahorses...I adore these interesting creatures.
they have a nursery set up for daddies who are about to POP like this poor fella! hahaha! What a nasty little trick mother nature played on these boys.
Game time! Had to make myself a cozy just for my main team.
The other day Osa "pipped" her ball over the fence. The people behind us have a maze of a veggie garden and don't speak English so I didn't even attempt to go get it. Instead I went to the store and just bought her 2 more because they won't be in stock much longer.
A week later, the blue ball appeared BACK on our side. Needless to say, she is thrilled at having 3 balls to chase!
I've started my annual pet bed making for the local shelter. Osa found them and rolled around in them like a big pig. She was SO happy!
If you want to make some for your own shelter, I have a pattern on my sidebar. Just click on free patterns and scroll through.
I crochet small ones using a giant hook and 3 skeins of yarns. I sew beds for large dogs. One thing I do which saves time is to keep all old pillows and make over sized pillow cases. The local shelter loves them and uses them for their really big or elderly dogs.
Please don't forget these babies this time of year.....concrete is tough anytime of year but very hard on old bones when cold.

text: derekcordova 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2013 It would be nice to have different size options in the pageline dashboard for quickslider. Right now I have quickslider on the main page and my customers are telling me it looks way too big. It does take up too much space so I do agree with them. I did live chat and was told I needed to put something beside it to make it smaller...and I needed to program it in...sorry but it would be much easier if you just made it an option to pick from....and if a widget needs to be put next to it then have that as a menu option too.

'Tis the season for jewellery shopping! We are here to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list, whether you are shopping for your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, mother, father, daughter, son, your grandparents, or even a dear friend.
Gold Jewellery
How to Choose Gold Jewellery
Gold is by far one of the most popular metal choices when it comes to jewellery. The biggest consideration to make while choosing gold jewellery is to ensure that it is real gold by checking for the karat mark. Karats 10 to 18 are the most typical, as pure gold is 24K, but is much to soft and malleable to be used in jewellery.
Gold jewellery is great because it is nontoxic, tarnish resistant, hypoallergenic, and retains its value over time. Since gold needs to be alloyed with another metal to make it stronger, yellow gold is typically a mix of gold with copper or silver, while white gold is a mix of gold with zinc, nickel, palladium, or copper.
Gold Jewellery Gifts for Her
Gold Jewellery Rings
In addition to beautiful engagement rings, we also have rings that make a great gift for her other fingers. Whether you prefer yellow or white gold, they make a perfect setting for diamonds or gemstones. A diamond ring is a great gift for your wife, girlfriend, or fiancé. If you are not in the market for an engagement ring this holiday season, we have rings that work well as promise rings, like this diamond heart ring. Looking for a gift for mom? We have a great option – a beautiful combination of sterling silver and yellow gold with two diamonds settings and the word MOM emblazoned in gold. Also, in the spirit of a traditional Christmas, we have elegant diamond cross rings that would make a great religious gift.
Gold Jewellery Earrings
Gold and diamond studs are the epitome of classic. These are truly a great gift for any woman on your list. Add a little sparkle to your special someone's life! We also have white gold and diamond cross earrings would make a very special religious gift. For ladies who would enjoy gold dangle earrings, we have a great selection of 10K gold earrings like the ones below. While the 10K gold hoop earrings would make a great gift for mom.
Gold Jewellery Bracelets
Surprise your wife or fiancé with a really special white gold and diamond tennis bracelet like this one. An elegant and simple yellow gold bangle would make a great gift for your girlfriend.
Another great gift idea for her is this Swarovski Gemstone and Canadian Diamond gold bangle. While a 10K white gold bangle would make a great addition to any jewellery collection.
Gold Jewellery Pendants and Necklaces
A great all around gift for her is of course a beautiful white gold and diamond solitaire necklace like the one pictured below. While an incredible mix of white and rose gold in the shape of an angel wing would make a lovely, meaningful pendant for mom or for grandma.
A gold necklace with diamond heart pendant would make a truly great gift for a girlfriend. While a simply beautiful yellow gold pendant and necklace like this one would make a great gift for any special woman on your list.
A 14K white gold cross would make a great pendant and religious gift.
Gold Jewellery Watches
A great rose gold watch makes a practical, yet stunning gift for any woman on your list.
Gold Jewellery Rings – Gifts for Him
A simple band of cobalt and 14K white gold makes a great statement ring for a man and a great gift!
Gold Jewellery Gifts for Kids
These great initial pendants come in either yellow or white gold, and make a great gift for a young girl.
A great Christmas gift for a young baby or child are these delicate gold earrings.

Why Does HighPoint Focus on Character?Some children's ministry experts question the implications of focusing primarily on character education as opposed to knowing God. HighPoint puts those concerns to rest with its two-fold discipleship philosophy that begins with the premise that godly character grows out of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.Then HighPoint helps children apply the Bible's teaching to their lives in tangible ways.
HighPoint takes what would otherwise be merely good character education and invites God's life-changing power to work in children's hearts, making them more like Him in every way.
Children discover that Christian character growth does not result from their own efforts but through their relationship with God. It is essential to note that each theme presents the gospel message. In addition, ample opportunity is given for God to work in children's hearts through HighPoint's interactive Bible stories and small group times, which include discussion and prayer.
HighPoint's emphasis on character growth is a proven method of drawing whole families into a saving relationship with Christ.
What parent doesn't want their child to become a moral person? As the child experiences HighPoint's God-focused sessions, it becomes clear that the only way to a moral character is through an ongoing personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Parents witness the gospel at work in their children's lives.
While HighPoint uses short, five-week-long themes to address specific topics, discipleship is an ongoing process.
God may continue to deal with children about a particular area in their lives long after the theme is completed. As you watch your children allow God to work in their lives through each HighPoint theme, keep your heart open to what God may want to do in a child's life, apart from the theme's emphasis. After all, HighPoint is simply a tool.

I just finished reading Stowaway by D. Ann Kelley and James G. Kelley (and I happen to know the authors). Most of it takes place in Michigan, it's kinda part of a series but it's by far the best one yet so I'd definitely recommend this one first. It might reveal a few details from the first few books but it's the most polished and fast read of any of the stories. The endings still end kinda quick though.
Jill Traynor returns as the main character (after the first book they started adding "A Jill Traynor Mystery" as the subtitle. One of the new characters chooses the Edumund Fitgerald as the ship to sneak onto, I think we all know how that's likely to end. But the whole mystery revolves around the message they managed to get off the ship that reveals where the ________ is/are located. It's got a bit of historical fact weaved in (and they clarify the details in the afterward). If you're from Michigan or the Great Lakes area and like mysteries it's a must read.
As a reminder I've mentioned their books before, the first two books they wrote were Lighthouse Paradox and Legacy.
I did have one big complaint about this book, I don't know who/what did their typesetting but in more than a few spots there are definitely some problems (mostly related to carriage returns and spacing) that I've got to assume it was added goofed up in at the final stage of the publishing process…

I've done some thinking about what I want to create, but I am still in the very early stages and will be really taking this challenge and crushing it out. I've had the thought so many times before, and have even had it on some of my goal lists (like yearly goals, things to do birthday my birthday etc) The 30 Day Challenge is literally the exact push I need to MAKE THIS FINALLY HAPPEN!

There is a high risk of rip currents at Panhandle beaches until Sunday, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
�Weather conditions may begin to improve this weekend, but beachgoers and boaters should still remember to use caution when enjoying the water,� said FDEM Deputy State Meteorologist Tiffany Hersey in a news release. �The high rip current risk is expected to continue through the weekend due to onshore winds combined with the recent disturbed weather pattern.�
Rip currents are strong currents that run perpendicular to shore and into the ocean.
Colored beach flags indicate the current conditions of the water, including whether rip currents are a threat.
Yellow flags flew on Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton County beaches on Thursday.

The national Society of Environmental Journalists has awarded OREGON FIELD GUIDE third place in the "Outstanding Beat/In-Depth Reporting, Television" category for a series of four stories that aired this past season.
Said the judges: "The OREGON FIELD GUIDE was like picking up a fishing pole, grabbing a bucket of worms and listening to beautiful stories told by my grandfather all day. To watch these stories was to be there in the moment, experiencing it as it happened. Simply beautiful storytelling. OREGON FIELD GUIDE showed us things this panel had never heard of. More important, this program did what documentaries do best. They made a point to stay after everybody else left. By doing that, they were able to report beyond the headlines and were able to prove everybody wrong."

Joins Supermajority of States Modernizing Alcohol Laws to Increase Revenue, Consumer Convenience
LITTLE ROCK, AR – Arkansas became the 36th state to repeal its Blue Law banning Sunday liquor sales at package stores, according to the Distilled Spirits Council, which called the state's decision a sign of things to come across the South as legislators continue looking for ways to raise revenue without raising taxes in this sour economy. The Council called Arkansas's repeal further evidence of a national trend of states modernizing alcohol laws, noting that Arkansas is the 14th state since 2002 to erase its Sunday sales ban.
Senate Bill 121, sponsored by Senator Robert Thompson and signed yesterday by Governor Mike Beebe, gives communities the option to vote on allowing package stores to open on Sundays. The new law also allows restaurants and other on premise establishments to serve alcohol on Sundays between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight – an extension of up to four more hours. The bill took effect upon signage.
"The ban on Sunday alcohol sales outlived its relevance long ago," said Distilled Spirits Council Vice President Dale Szyndrowski, whose organization has aggressively supported modernizing Blue Laws in states across the country. "Everything we know about modern consumer demand tells us that Blue Laws no longer make sense in today's economy. This law will give consumers added convenience, store owners more choices and the State Treasury extra revenue during a time when it's all much-needed."
Szyndrowski noted that Arkansas becomes the 36th state to allow Sunday liquor sales at package stores. Only 14 states continue to cling to Prohibition-era Sunday sales bans, he said. They are: Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. For more on current Blue Law states, visit prohibitionrepeal.com.
Sunday Sales Will Support Tourism and Hospitality Industry
Many out of state tourists are shocked to learn alcohol is unavailable on Sundays in Arkansas. Szyndrowski pointed out that Arkansas's repeal is significant because it sits on the border of several states that continue to ban Sunday sales, namely Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Oklahoma. He noted that Texas legislators, pressured by consumers and package store owners, have already filed three bills to repeal the state's Sunday sales restriction in 2009.
"Arkansas will now see more revenue from Sunday sales among Arkansas residents, but also from Sunday shoppers and tourists in border states who might want a cocktail or bottle of wine with supper," Szyndrowski added.
Other states with pending legislation to repeal Sunday Blue Laws include Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota and Texas.

Joint Force Requirements Generator II (JFRG II) is a Mission Support application that provides the Marine Corps the capability to conduct Force Deployment Planning and Execution (FPD&E) of force movement deployments and redeployments. JFRG II provides the ability to rapidly create and modify unit specific data and interfaces directly with Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES), Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Deployment Sustainment System II (MDSS II), and War Reserve System (WRS). JFRG II can receive inputs from the MDSS II, and WRS data for processing, verification and provision to JOPES.
The current JFRG II capability is a stand-alone application deployed on the Joint Tactical Common Operational Picture Workstation (JTCW). JFRG II was directed to modernize its application to be enterprise in a Letter of Clarification (LOC) dated 19 Mar 2012. The next generation JFRG II will access the JOPES database through the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) managed Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES) Framework (JFW) web services and protocols to develop, refine and tailor force deployment requirements based on their assigned mission and the concept of operations. The resulting tailored/refined force deployment requirements are exported and later imported to/from MDSS II for detailed, unit-level sourcing and WRS for the sourcing of sustainment requirements.
Operational Impact
The JFRG II operational mission is to conduct FDP&E as described in Marine Corps Order (MCO) 3000.18, Marine Corps Warfighting Publication 5 series, the JOPES Manual Volumes I, II, and III, and the JOPES Reporting Structure. It is primarily used by Marines with the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 0511, Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Planning Specialist and MOS 0502, FDP&E Officer.
The JFRG II application satisfies a critical Marine Corps capability requirement to conduct Force Deployment Planning and Execution (FDP&E) in support of Marine Corps Task 1 (Deploy/Conduct Maneuver) as described in Marine Corps Order (MCO) 3000.18. Specific capabilities include:
Create, modify and delete Joint Time Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD) in support of deliberate and contingency Operations Plans (OPlans)
Program Status
Post MS-B. Current program office efforts include the modernization of the legacy application to interoperability with the Joint Planning community. This effort will allow for enterprise force deployment planning and execution. MS-C and limited deployment of the modernized capability is planned for 3QFY18. JFRG II v2.0 Initial Operating Capability (IOC) is planned for 4QFY18. Developer/Manufacturer: SAIC, Stafford, VA

The value of distraction
Inebriated Press
December 7, 2007
Police in Southern Indiana are searching for an inmate who escaped from a work-release crew Wednesday after using an overflowing toilet as a distraction. And a disputed report called the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) says Iran stopped its formal nuclear program in 2003. In response to the NIE report Democrats said Wednesday that Iran is no longer a threat, while the same day Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech that the Islamic republic needs at least 50,000 uranium-enriching centrifuges. That's up from the 3,000 they have now. Some experts say we can't trust convicts or Islamofascists but Congressional leaders say there's nothing to worry about.
"We can trust Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he says that he has no plans to develop nuclear weapons, because he's a man of his word," said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, looking up from the letter he was writing to Santa. "The stuff he said about his plans to wipe Israel and the U.S. off the face of the earth, I think he was only joking about that." After pausing to contemplate the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, Reid continued by saying, "All the stuff Ahmadinejad said about the Jewish Holocaust not being true is just him kidding around too. He's quite a joker sometimes. Islamofascists are really just misunderstood. They're getting a bad rap."
The escaped convict was last seen at G&R Auto Sales, 10109 NE Ind. 62 near Charlestown, Indiana, where police said he stole a red 1995 Chevrolet Camaro convertible about 1 p.m. Wednesday. The surprise U.S. intelligence findings on Iran issued this week – which concluded that Tehran no longer has a formal nuclear weapons program – have sparked condemnation of the Bush administration from the left. But, there are still a few American's who don't completely trust the Indiana convict or Iranian president.
"Just because the program isn't 'formal' doesn't mean that Iran has suddenly forgotten all the knowledge that they have acquired or that growth in the number of uranium-enriching centrifuges is something they're doing because they're bored," said deputy director of National Intelligence, Donald Kerr, crossing himself and adjusting his bulletproof vest. "It's like saying I decided not to go deer hunting because I didn't buy a permit this year, meanwhile I'm buying crates of ammo at a sporting goods store. Most rational folks would conclude that I'm up to something."
Global Security reported that in a meeting with war veterans in Iran on Wednesday, Ahmadinejad said, "When we commissioned 164 series of centrifuges, the ill-wishers told us to stop there and that they would ignore it, but "we said we need 50,000 centrifuges." The president said Iran continued industrial production of nuclear fuel in spite of ill-wishers' will. On the possible issuance of a new resolution at the United Nations Security Council against Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, the president said, "Our nation does not fear such threats."
In other news, the NIE report also said that Count Dracula was a misunderstood management executive from Transylvania whose good looks often caused women to swoon and faint. Word on his undead blood sucking activities was left out because they wanted to create a tasteful report. "No need to be morose," a writer reportedly said. "People get uncomfortable with those kinds of facts."

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that the planned rehabilitation of the Magallanes Interchange will begin as soon as permits for the required road closures are acquired from the City of Makati.
A portion of the southbound land of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) coming from Manila headed towards the Magallanes Interchange will be closed for 10 days as part of the project under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with an expected completion date of December 2014.
"This southbound lane of SLEX will be closed as soon as the DPWH secures the appropriate permits from the city government of Makati," said MMDA Traffic Engineering Center (TEC) Director Neomi Recio.
Upon approval of the 10-day road closure, the wall separating the service road and the SLEX will be torn down to allow all the southbound and northbound traffic to be diverted to the service road.

When your PC or laptop is hacked?
This happened last Sat, 25 Jun 16 when I was reading TRE site. Shit! Then the screen went blank. I knew that I was hit. I turned on my anti virus for a full scan and no virus or malware was found! But when I logged on again, I could not access the internet. The indicator went swirling when I clicked on the Chrome icon but nothing happened. Tried several times to confirm what I did not want to know. My photo files were still ok. But my Word's files were unreadable. A window popped up when I tried to read a file with a Window Word initial and the following sentences. Your Word program needs a converter to read file correctly. This feature is not installed in your system. Please click to install program or something like that. And there were two buttons, Yes and No to click. I refused to click suspecting the worst. My files are held at ransom.
The only thing to do is to seek help. I also bought another PC for immediate use. My friends in mysingaporenews blog were very pessimistic. Big trouble, gone case. Spoke to a computer sales guy. He too said serious and costly.
I asked another guy who told me to reset laptop to factory setting would help. I nearly tried but hesitate as I would lose all the apps loaded. Thought of doing a full saving, lock, stock and barrel, but still hesitant.
Then I tried another way. Eureka, it works. I can now gain access to the net. And I also found a way to read my Word files. Alright, not to alarm the hackers or leak out the secret, I am not going to divulge what I did in this blog. But anyone who wants to know can email me for my solution if they have been hacked. It did not cost me a cent. But I don't guarantee that it would work in your case but very likely it will.

I tried my best not to use anti-virus or firewall software. These are simply very irritating, slows down PC immensely, and make engineering work painful and miserable as many ports are block.
The best way is to create a sand box PC where you always can reset to factory setting.
And a good way to be free of security breaches is not to use PC.

So that Sinkies like Low Thia Khiang, Chee Soon Juan, Mrs Chiam or even Goh Meng Seng can become PM?
Low Thia Khiang already said he doesn't want to be PM, you know. And WP Gerald Giam also said WP does not want to form govt with other opposition parties. Maybe WP only want to form coalition govt with PAP. If that is the case, perhaps that's why majority voters think it is better to vote PAP.

Low TK deserved to be praised for his life long contribution to opposition politics.
Low is the only person could expand a party with new members appeared more capable than him to take positions in office.
Low himself ruled out high position for himself but his party s new breeds of politicians appear to have the potential to advance opposition politics to higher level.
Singapore is at a stage of being seized by world highest rental. The economy will implode with the prolonged high rental imposed on tenants that reduce salary to lowest level, or forcing for more foreigners employment passes or employment passes.
Both high rental and depressed salary will drive Pap out of political power in coming 10 years. This will happen as high rental and low depressed salary are the hall mark of pap policy, with one more: high dependency on foreign labor.
The last will turn into another problem when foreigners become terrorists or become over whelming, out number the citizens.
Pap will be voted out due to diminishing support. currently at 61% only just after 12 months of GE at 70%.

What's wrong with Low Thia Khiang, Chee Soon Juan, Mrs Chiam or even Goh Meng Seng becoming Prime Minister?
Isn't it less scary than;

Not so simple as shut down and power up. I did that many times and it didn't work. But the attack is getting very widespread and furious. My redbeanforum just got hacked and now I could not even post.

It is unbelievable that the whole world could not kill this scourge. It will lead to a crippling of the internet. My new laptop came with so many layers of protection that it mays browsing such a pain.
When would Interpol and the nations of the world do something to stop these crooks? It can be done if there is a will and a coordinated effort.

26 March 2019
In celebration of International Women's Day, two of our planners - Annabel Le Lohé and Eleanor Gingell - sat down with us to discuss their involvement in, and the benefits of, Women in Planning, an independent and female-led UK network for promoting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive planning industry.
Q: How does the group benefit women in the planning sector?
Annabel Le Lohé, Senior Town Planner at WYG and regular attendee of Women in Planning events in the South Midlands:
The group provides a friendly atmosphere for both male and female attendees to discuss how women can be supported throughout their planning careers. One of the group's main strengths is getting strong female role models in senior planning positions to host Continuing Professional Development events and provide guidance to those just starting out in their career. When many event panels are male-dominated, it's refreshing to attend events where you can relate to the speakers and career journey stories more closely.
Outside the planning sector, the Women in Planning group is well respected and other networking/representative groups have been eager to collaborate and deliver events with a diversity focus, including ACE.
Eleanor Gingell, Principal Planner and Chair of the South Midlands Branch of Women in Planning:
The South Midlands branch appears to have filled a gap in networking opportunities for the sector, but has also provided an environment that is supportive of women in general. A number of women attending our recent breakfast seminar in Bedford commented that they had felt intimidated at larger networking events, not really enjoying the experience, whilst others had avoided previous events entirely, feeling that networking was only really aimed at the private sector. This is something we're trying to deconstruct.
The National group has run a number of different initiatives and has successfully influenced the RTPI's agenda to include diversity. In the South Midlands we have tried to keep the focus of our branch activities very simple: a platform and safe space to share ideas.
Q: Who else is part of the group?
Eleanor: Our committee includes planners, but also those that work alongside the profession, such as engineers and legal representatives. This has widened our reach drastically. Many of the issues that female planners raised include, for example, not feeling confident or represented at events, and these apply equally to related professionals.
Q: Why does the construction sector struggle with the retention of women?
Eleanor: I don't think the issue is unique to planning or construction. We still live in a society where women take on the share of caring responsibilities. be it children or relatives. Priorities change and it can be difficult to catch up. Flexibility in working practices is key, whether it involves working at home or allowing average hours over a longer period of time rather than daily fixed hours. This naturally has to be balanced against client demands in private practice. The same flexible working practices can also benefit men, enabling them to take on a more involved role and allow their partner the space and time to give to their career.
Similarly, schemes that bring individuals back to the business after a period of absence can encourage experienced professionals to return to work after a career break by providing support networks and appropriate mentoring (see for example: http://corp.womenreturners.com/uk-returnships/ with CBRE currently offering a programme for women in Real Estate/ Planning.
Annabel: I would echo Ellie's point that pressure upon staff to stick to a regimented time schedule conflicts with the desire of many to start a family. Those individuals would benefit from the flexibility to work longer hours on some days rather than others.
Career mentor schemes with female role models in senior leadership positions would inspire more women to not fear being held back because of their gender as their career progresses.
The Planner lists the Women of Influence in our sector each year, providing a great starting point for empowering those earlier in their career to strive for greater influence. However, I would like to see this taken further, with more in-depth profiles on these women and opportunities to meet with them through networking or career day events.
Q: How does diversity and inclusion benefit clients?
Eleanor: Diversity and inclusion brings new ideas and perspectives to a problem. Women, in particular, assess services and the built environment in a different way. In terms of travel for instance, women will make a greater number of 'connected' journeys than men, e.g. school drop off, work, grocery shopping, picking up the kids.
Annabel: Women also assess safety and security in planning and urban design differently from men because their perception of those concepts is typically very different. In terms of the social characteristics of a place, I have noticed that women place more focus upon creating more areas where social interactions may naturally unfold, even in small residential areas.
Q: How can others get involved?
Eleanor: You can sign up to the relevant Women in Planning Mailing lists via https://www.womeninplanning.org/ to hear about events. There are now over 18 branches across the UK so there is bound to be one close to you.
Annabel: You can follow the Women in Planning social media accounts which share information on their events across the UK, as well as relevant articles and initiatives:
Internally, WYG is also working to support women through their planning careers, starting with a day of open forums highlighting the core topics, and continuing by instigating initiatives in relation to ensuring a suitable work-life balance, for both male and female colleagues to benefit from.

In another week, the lenten season will begin. And with it are the quiet days of reflection and preparation for one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar. With that in mind, many people determine to give up their favorite foods as an expression of their devotion. And THAT, is why pre-lenten festivities, especially Mardi Gras is so very extravagant.
The wild and crazy days of Mardi Gras or Carnival are the last few days before the austerity of Lent. One of the most charming of the traditions associated with these days of fun is that of the King Cake, and conjoined is the Queen Cake. These cakes herald from centuries ago, when they would appear during Epiphany, and would be served until Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday). So, some folks with ancestry in Europe will associate this treat with Christmas and the Feast of the Three Kings. Thus, the name of the cake.
Each cake has a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, said to represent the Baby Jesus) inside. The person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations. Each family has it's own tradtion that is attached to the finding of the baby in the cake.
This is a simple sweet bread recipe. It's a ring of twisted bread dough similar to that used in brioche. It's typically topped with creamy icing and colored sugars. Typically purple, green and yellow – the colors of Mardi Gras. Most are baked, but some, especially smaller versions could be deep-fried. But, ALL have wonderful fillings. Some Louisiana favorites could be cream cheese, praline, cinnamon and or various fruits like strawberry. Some variations include chocolate frosting with coconut filling, called a Zulu King Cake.
The Queen Cake is exactly the same preparation, but is topped with fresh fruit instead of the sugars. Use the traditional colors. In the photo, there is kiwi, blueberries and bananas….but there could be pineapple or mango for the yellow, and tinted apple or pear slices for the purple. Use your imagination!
Recipe: Makes 1 cake
3 Cups White Flour, organic
2/3 Cup raw Turbinado Sugar
1 packet Yeast
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. Almond Extract
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 Cup virgin Coconut Oil, melted
1 tsp Salt
1 1/4 Cups Warm Water
1/4 Cup raw Nuts (try walnuts, almonds or pecans) chopped
3/4 tsp. Cinnamon
2Tbls. Maple Syrup
Pinch of Salt
1 Cup Powdered Sugar, organic
1/4 Cup Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Colored Sugars – Green, Yellow and Purple
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast until yeast is dissolved.
2. In another bowl, mix all dry ingredients together with a whisk. Add the dry ingredients to the yeast and mix until a ball forms. Add pinches of flour until the dough is easy to handle. Knead in the bowl for a few minutes until the ball is well formed.
3. Grease the sides of the bowl with liquid oil and cover with cloth towel. Allow to rise for an hour. Keep in a warm spot, away from drafts.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the filling by mixing all ingredients together. Mix the glaze and set aside covered.
5. Punch out the dough. Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto a cool surface. Place the dough on the floured surface and kneed slightly forming a long shape about 5″ wide and 12 – 14″ long. Flatten the long form and add the filling to the middle of the dough. Carefully roll the dough over the filling and pinch the dough to seal the edges. Loop the dough to form a crescent shape and place on a greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. The bread will have a slightly hollow sound when you thump the outside with your finger.
7. Cool the bread completely before attempting to addthe glaze.
8. Soften the glaze if needed with a few drops of water, mix again and pour over the cooled bread.
9. If decorating a King Cake, sprinkle with colored sugard. If decorating for a Queen Cake, arrange the fruit on the surface while the glaze is still soft.
Ready! Set! EAT!
No matter what the tradition, the King Cake is a great way to fill the last days before Lent with a Mardi Gras of your own. Here's a little hint, bake a cake, then take it to the office. The person who gets the baby, bakes one for the next day!
Be sure to remember your favs with a box of Easter cookies and brownies from WOW! Cookies! Happiest of Lenten Seasons to us all!

Earlier today the Denver Broncos fired their Head Coach, Mike Shanahan. This came as a surprise to many, myself included. After this development I listened to several ESPN analysts say that Shanahan hasn't been effective since John Elway retired. Then I read a couple message board threads about how no Rams fans should want Shanahan for the same reason. These comments kind of got me thinking, so I did a little research.
Elway retired after the 1998 Super Bowl win and the next year Denver went 6-10. Rarely mentioned is the fact that Terrell Davis, who rushed for 2,008 yards in '98 tore his ACL in the fourth game of the '99 season. So, add the loss of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game with the loss of a 2,000 yard rusher and you have the makings of a bad season.
That was Shanahan's worst season in his 14 years in Denver. After Elway's departure in 1998, Shanahan coached the Broncos to a 91-69 record and four playoff appearances. Yes, they only won one playoff game in those four appearances, but as we know, the playoffs are a crap shoot and anyone can win. Other than 1999, he never finished below 2nd in the division.

Hi Team,
Wow! I'm away from my keyboard for a few days and look what I come back to! Offers to send me bumper stickers! T-shirts! A tote bag!!!
I have to say, I'm flattered that you're all so eager to keep up our communication - but I should make clear that I was only away because I had some important family stuff to attend to. My absence was not in the least a sign of waning interest in our ongoing conversation. In fact, I'm a little embarrassed that you reacted this way. Yes, we have developed a certain rapport, but I think the offer of gifts was a bit excessive.
Still, in the spirit of reciprocation, I'd like to offer you all some bumper stickers to choose from - sorry, I'm fresh out of tote bags. These are some of my favorites:
First, from Scott Horton's collection over at LibertyStickers - and if you don't know Scott Horton, you should. He's one of the only genuine anti-war activists around. Bernie may not care about things like a consistent anti-war stance, but you guys seem like you might. You can check out Scott's show here or here.
Scott's not the only one making stickers at LibertyStickers. There are more:
OK, I lied. I do have some tote bags. Also t-shirts. Take a look at these, from LiberyManiacs:
I think this one makes an especially nice throw blanket!
Finally - maybe after this whole election thing is over I could interest you in one of these?
So just tell me which ones you'd like - I'm happy to send up to ten bumper stickers or a couple of t-shirts - maybe a tote bag if you really want one, but not the throw blanket, sorry - let me know where to send them, and they'll be on their way. At the risk of offending, I'll decline your offer for the varied Bernie paraphernalia. As you may recall, I am NOT a supporter - don't feel bad, I know it can be hard to keep track of these things.
Awaiting your response, I remain,
Bretigne Shaffer

'Grandmother's Diamonds'
My grandmother was born in 1881 in a mining family of north-eastern England. She wanted to be an artist, but times were hard, and against her wishes, when she was 13, she was apprenticed to a dressmaker. She ended up using this skill to support her two small children when her husband was killed in the last month of Great War and so spent a lifetime on creating and repairing garments.
By the time I knew her she had stopped sewing, and had no wish to ever sew again. Whenever any part of her garments failed, she mended them with safety pins. If they were in a visible place she wore them proudly, and when my own slightly embarrassed mother remonstrated simply replied,
"Yes, I'm wearing my diamonds today."

Call this one a case of mistaken identity. The Twitterverse went wild after a scanned old photo surfaced on Twitter with the caption "here is a photo of brooke shields smoking pot with h.r."
A screengrab of the image on Twitter that had people talking this week.
Find out why Brooke Shields was walking with a cane at the Met Gala
In the snap, that appears to have been taken years ago, a woman who bears a resemblance to Brooke Shields is sitting next to lead singer H.R. of seminal hardcore band Bad Brains and is smoking from a pipe.
Bad Brains' manager even went on to tell Gawker, "It's her. This would be from 1983. Hair length, and H.R. missing that tooth he knocked out hitting a huge stage divider pole at the Reggae Lounge. Brooke would have been around 18, maybe still a Ford model."
But, a rep for the former "Lipstick Jungle" star, denied that Shields is the woman in question puffing away, telling E! News, "That is definitely NOT her."
According to the Daily Mail, Shields told Nylon back in 2000 her mom turned her off to the idea of using drugs, saying, "I don't know if it's reverse psychology, but my mom would say, 'You wanna do drugs? Fine. Do them. Just do me a favor. Let me do 'em with you. I'll get you the best stuff. This way I know you're not going to die.' And the whole thing was so unappealing to me."

There are plenty of various courses that allow students, and people who want to learn more about their passions to learn to build and create new things with new techniques and materials they never used before.
In fact there are institutes like paint and sip Sydney, paint and sip Melbourne in Australia and other institutes offering sewing courses Sydney and painting classes and courses for those who want to learn to paint and create perfect portraits that they love.
Attending a workshop Sydney or a creative and arts workshop Brisbane does not mean that there will be a few hours of aimless lectures and a few drawings. Rather, workshops Melbourne as well as pottery classes Melbourne, photography courses Brisbane and cooking classes Melbourne are few of the best options that people can avail.
These classes not only give every student or learners a way to know about new ideas and new techniques but these options also give the students to build confidence and know things that they must have seen in a different ways.
These arts and crafts classes give you a new look and opportunities for hen party ideas and Christmas craft idea to make sure you always get the best things out of the ordinary things.
Self-confidence and reliance as well as nurturance for the creative thoughts help in keeping the learners away from getting bored and they always are in the process to learn different things in a new way.
People learn to collaborate and make sure to work out things as a team instead of doing it alone. Though self-confidence is the key to learning new things but fulfilling things in groups also allow people to learn how they can incorporate different ideas to get a unique thing quickly. Every arts and craft workshop assures better creativity within a short period of time.

Electron paramagnetic resonance and photoluminescence study of Er-impurity complexes in Si
Carey, JD, Barklie, RC, Donegan, JF, Priolo, F, Franzo, G and Coffa, S (1999) Electron paramagnetic resonance and photoluminescence study of Er-impurity complexes in Si PHYSICAL REVIEW B, 59 (4). pp. 2773-2782.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been used to examine the structure and optical properties of erbium-impurity complexes formed in float-zone Si by multiple-energy implants at 77 K of Er together with either O or F. After implantation a 2-μm-thick amorphous layer was formed containing an almost uniform concentration of Er (1019/cm3)and O (3×1019/cm3 or 1020/cm3) or F (1020/cm3). Samples were annealed in nitrogen at 450 °C for 30 min (treatment A), treatment A+620 °C for 3 h (treatment B), treatment B+900 °C for 30 s (treatment C) or treatment B+900 °C for 30 min (treatment D). Samples coimplanted to have 3×1019O/cm3 and subject to treatment C show a broad line anisotropic EPR spectrum. These samples have the most intense low-temperature PL spectrum containing several sharp peaks attributed to Er3+ in sites with predominantly cubic Td symmetry. Increasing the O concentration to 1020/cm3 produces sharp line EPR spectra the strongest of which are attributed to two Er3+ centers having monoclinic C1h and trigonal symmetry. The principal g values and tilt angle for the monoclinic centers are g1=0.80, g2=5.45, g3=12.60, τ=57.3°, g∥=0.69, and g⊥=3.24 for the trigonal centers. The low-temperature PL spectrum from this sample showed additional sharp lines but the total intensity is reduced when compared to the sample with 3×1019O/cm3. For the sample containing 1020O/cm3 at least four distinct centers are observed by EPR after treatment B but after treatment D no EPR spectrum is observed. The PL spectra are also observed to change depending on the specific anneal treatment but even after treatment D, Er-related PL is still observed. Samples containing 1020F/cm3 and annealed with either treatment B or C produced an EPR spectrum attributed to Er3+in a site of monoclinic C1h symmetry with g1=1.36, g2=9.65, g3=7.91, and τ=79.1°.Tentative models for the structures of Er-impurity complexes are presented and the relationship between the EPR-active and PL-active centers is discussed.

We were just about to hit the mall and see if we could pick up some chicks when we saw Gabby Martinez talking on her phone right across the street. My buddy Charlamagne came up with a hair brained scheme to feign injury and hopefully get her to come over and help. Surprisingly, it worked like a charm. She rushed over to see how she could be of assistance once she heard him wail in pain after supposedly tripping and crashing his knee into the asphalt. Gabby mentioned she had gone to nursing school for quite some time and could definitely help. I figured that was the perfect opportunity to get her into our house and mentioned how it would be best if he sat on the couch while she figured out how to best help him. From there we were able to convince her to show him some TLC and with a body like hers, all I could do was be totally envious from behind the camera.
