Now the summer is pretty much over here in England and the World Cup no longer takes up most of my spare time, I can finally dedicate some much needed time to Inspect Element and it's been far too long.
If you're wondering, I have plenty of great blog post ideas lined up (my Evernote account is chock full of them) so hopefully it will be worth the wait!
Snippets are a way for me point out interesting links in the world of web design and even provide some of my own insight along the way. It's very similar to a technique that has been used by John Gruber on his superb blog, Daring Fireball. I'm seeing it more and more these days with the likes of Cameron Moll and Dan Cederholm using it via the tumblr blogging engine. As you can see it mixes the more traditional long-form method of blogging with a short-form style that is too much for micro-blogging services such as Twitter.
So why bring this approach to Inspect Element? Mainly because it brings more quality content to your attention. There are many very well written articles out there that I occasionally share via Twitter but that isn't always the best way to add what my own opinion or thoughts to the mix so it allows me to do that more effectively too.
As you can see above, a snippet is indicated by an icon of a pair of scissors along with smaller font size for the title text which links directly to the article or page itself. For those coming through via RSS will be taken to a page with the full snippet and a link to the source at the bottom.
Other Small Changes
The width of the sidebar has been reduced to focus more on the content. At the same time, a number of ads have been eliminated. I was never doing this to make money, all I need to do is cover the bills of hosting and even with the reduced number of ads I think this is still viable.
Tags have become part of the main navigation in the form of a mega drop-down. This allows the sidebar to become less cluttered but keeping them readily available and always within reach. Tags will become more and more useful as snippets, just like normal blog posts, are being tagged too.
Stick around, there's plenty of quality content on the way!

illustration friday - ripple
This weeks topic is a special one. Illustrator Kelly Light has asked IF participants to create small sketchcards, somehow relating to the gulf oil spill, in an effort to help all the creatures affected by it. The sketchcards can be bought for the bargain price of $10 and every single penny will go to one of two animal rescue charities. These wee birds are my contribution. If we all do a small act to help then we can hopefully cause a ripple...
Find out more and view all the great art here
Great news! my bird sketchcard has been sold and will be winging it's way to the USA in a matter of hours!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) A federal judge has denied a motion to suppress the confession made by a former prison guard charged with killing two postal workers in West Tennessee.
U.S. Senior District Judge Jon P. McCalla ruled Thursday that the confession Chastain Montgomery made to law enforcement agents after his arrest is admissible at his April trial.
Montgomery is charged with killing Paula Robinson and Judy Spray during a robbery of the Henning post office in October 2010. Prosecutors say Montgomery and his 18-year-old son shot the women multiple times.
Montgomery was arrested at the scene of a shootout between his son and police in Mason in February 2011.
Defense attorneys argued Montgomerys confession should be suppressed because he wasnt provided a lawyer during questioning and his statement was coerced by investigators.

Internet affiliate marketing, based on Wikipedia, is dependant on overall performance when a company benefits the actual initiatives associated with a number of fee salesperson or even affiliate marketers (as they're generally called) through promoting the actual merchant's services or products. That said, the machine demands 4 crucial gamers: the actual vendor or even store, the actual system (which offers the choices, items, affiliate marketer hyperlinks, banners, content articles and also the procedure to deal with the actual payments), the actual affiliate marketer, and also the client.
The job initiatives from the affiliate marketer is actually huge when it comes to subjecting the actual merchant's items to the blogosphere exactly where site visitors are looking for methods to difficulties or even searching for something which details their own feelings because of high quality info. For instance, for those who have produced the weblog, that consists of evaluations associated with items through retailers, the concept would be to connect a hyperlink at the conclusion from the post you have created.
Therefore, a person produce the standard info, include the hyperlink so when a person likes your data, she or he mouse clicks about the hyperlink and it is after that come to the actual retailers web site, that basically gets control the actual promoting from the item.
The important thing element in this entire promoting procedure would be to supply high quality info and a lot of this.

For instance, whilst you might be powerful within making high quality content articles as well as publishing all of them upon listing websites for example EzineArticles. com, you can advantage significantly through making eye-catching movies upon Youtube . com together with your affiliate marketer hyperlinks inlayed beneath the actual movie or perhaps a display chance of the affiliate marketer hyperlink hanging inside the movie marketing content material. This particular advertising ploy offers which may appeal to site visitors within their 1000's. In addition, it's additionally which may generate visitors in to your own landing page funnels.
Like a last evaluation, you're subjecting as well as spreading your own advertising initiatives within several areas upon the internet.
To conclude, this short article has had regarding forty five min's to create along with high quality info as well as wish it's 'whet your own appetite' within beginning or even ongoing this particular internet affiliate marketing trip.

Indian Deobandis Against Terrorism: Reiterating a Historical Tradition
by Yoginder Sikand
Following the massive anti-terrorism convention organized by the Dar ul-Ulum Deoband two months ago, literally dozens of such public meetings have been held by Muslim groups, particularly those led by Deobandi ulema, across India. Ulema who have addressed these rallies have insisted that terrorism has no room in Islam, some of them going so far as to issue fatwas to that effect, and also calling for inter-communal harmony. Which is all, of course, to the good, considering the fact that many non-Muslims continue to labour under the impression that there is an inherent link between Islam, particularly the Deobandi expression of it, and terrorism.
The sudden spate of conventions stressing inter-community harmony and denouncing terrorism organized by the Indian ulema have received considerable media attention. However, these conventions have been reported about in the media in such a manner as to suggest that they represent a sudden change of heart, due perhaps to political pressure, on the part of the Indian Deobandi ulema, who have, for years, especially since the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, received a very bad press. It is also being argued in some sections of the media that the anti-terrorism and pro-communal harmony rhetoric of the Indian Deobandis is not really sincere and is simply a means to stave off criticism or state control and that they are secretly wedded to an aggressively 'anti-national', 'communal' and 'pan-Islamic' agenda.
This argument, is, however, deeply flawed, as a reading of the history of the Deobandi ulema will suggest. Keeping in mind this historical context, it appears that the current campaign for communal harmony and against terrorism led by the Indian Deobandi ulema is actually a reiteration of a tradition that has deep roots in Deobandi history, rather than being a new invention meant simply for public consumption. The fact remains, although this, unfortunately, is strictly kept out of our history textbooks, that the majority of the Indian Deobandi ulema in pre-1947 India were strongly anti-imperialist, vehemently opposed communalism, championed Hindu-Muslim unity, and, while insisting on the protection of Muslim (and other minorities') rights, forcefully opposed the Partition of India. They stressed that there was no contradiction between being Muslim and Indian at the same time. Considerably before the Congress and the Muslim League began talking about full independence for India, leaders of the Deoband madrasa had already not just begun demanding it but also started taking practical measures for it. The then rector of the madrasa, Maulana Mahmud ul-Hasan, was imprisoned by the British in Malta for organizing an uprising that aimed at overthrowing British rule and replacing it by a government consisting of Hindus and Muslims.
Those who, ignorant, deliberately or otherwise, of the strongly patriotic traditions of the majority of the Indian Deobandi ulema, insist that the current campaign of the Indian Deobandis against terrorism and communalism is simply a pious ruse designed to conceal an 'anti-national' agenda, would do well to read a recently reprinted Urdu booklet, bearing the revealing title of 'Hamara Hindustan Aur Uske Fazail' ('Our India and Its Glories'), which brilliantly articulates this commitment of leading Deobandi ulema to the cause of composite Indian nationalism and inter-communal harmony.
One of the two essays in the booklet is penned by Maulana Husain Ahmad Madni, then rector of the Deoband madrasa and head of the Jamiat ul-Ulema-i Hind ('The Union of the Ulema of India'), a major Deobandi ulema organisation. The essay was first published sometime in the early 1940s, in response to the Muslim League's demand for a separate Muslim state and to counter the claim articulated by many 'upper' caste Hindu leaders that Indian nationalism was necessarily synonymous with 'Hindu nationalism', thus effectively excluding the Muslims from the Indian nationalist project.. The essay is based on the argument that India has a special, revered place in the Islamic tradition. Hence, it insists, the Muslims of the country should consider themselves particularly honoured to have been born in the country. Because India had been specially blessed by God, it argues, the Muslims must work for the welfare, including the unity of the country. Contrarily, to demand the partition of the country, it suggests, would be to defy the Divine Will itself. At the same time, using the motif of India being specially blessed by God, for which it draws upon resources within the larger Islamic tradition, it seeks to counter the assertion put forward so aggressively by 'upper' caste Hindu 'nationalists' of Islamic identity being necessarily contradictory to Indian nationalism.
Maulana Madni's essay, titled 'Hamara Hindustan' ('Our India'), draws upon narratives contained in the works of classical Islamic scholars to illustrate the 'glories' (fazail) of India. He writes that Islamic tradition has it that God directed Adam, the first man and the first prophet, to be sent down to earth to India. It was thus from India that the human race sprang from Adam's progeny. This implies, Maulana Madni argues, that the Indian Muslims must consider India as their 'ancient home' (watan al-qadim). In addition, Maulana Madni refers to the Quran as mentioning that God has sent prophets to every nation, and Maulana Madni takes this to mean that prophets must have also been sent to India as well. This, he says, is further suggested by the fact the numerous Muslim saints (awliya-i allah) have 'discovered', through 'spiritual encounters' (ruhi mulaqat), the graves of various prophets in India. Since, as the Quran says, the religion (din) taught by all the prophets of God, including those who were possibly sent to India, was one and the same—al-Islam ('The Surrender'), it is obvious that from ancient (i.e. pre-Muhammadan) times onwards Islam has been present in India. In fact, Maulana Madni argues, 'it is an unchallengeable fact that from the very beginning India has been the land of Islam (islam ka watan)'.
India, Maulana Madni insists, is as much the motherland of the Muslims as it is of other communities in the country. In a rhetorical statement that might appear as somewhat quixotic, Maulana Madni went so far as to claim that Muslims do, or at least should, display an even greater concern for India's welfare than other communities because while many Hindus burn their dead and throw their ashes into rivers, and the Parsis let vultures feed on their dead, the Muslims bury their dead in the bosom of the earth, in the very soil of their motherland. In contrast to the Hindus and the Parsis of the country, the mortal remains of the Muslims remain in India in their graves and shall remain so till the Day of Judgment. The Hindus believe in reincarnation of the dead, and there is no guarantee that their dead would be reborn in India, while the Muslims believe they shall remain in their graves till the Day of Judgment. Hence, Maulana Madni argues, it is only the Muslims who remain faithful to India even after their death. This itself means, he writes, that Muslims are, or should be, more attached to India and concerned about its welfare than people of other communities.
No community can, therefore, claim a monopoly of Indian patriotism, Maulana Madni insists, challenging Hindu assertions to the contrary. Just as the Aryans, the Huns and the Greeks came to India and settled here and made this their home, he writes, so did the early Muslims. The only difference between the Muslims and the others is that the former arrived in India earlier. In fact, Maulana Madni argues, the Muslims, as a whole, can be more legitimately said to be the original inhabitants of India, since the vast majority of the Indian Muslims are descendants of converts from India's pre-Aryan aboriginal people. Hence, he asserts, it is completely misleading to claim that India is not the land of the Muslims or that it belongs to the Hindus alone. The welfare of all the communities of India, including the Muslims, depends on the overall welfare of the country, and this is yet another reason why the Indian Muslims must love and serve their country. Maulana Madni insists that the Muslims cannot not leave India and depart for any other country, nor would any other country accept them. The Indian Muslims would have to live and flourish in India itself.
While recognising that the Indian Muslims have a spiritual bond with Muslims elsewhere owing to adherence to a common religion, Maulana Madni argues that this does not come in the way of their patriotism. Nor are the Indian Muslims alone in sharing such spiritual ties with their co-religionists elsewhere. The Indian Hindus, Maulana Madni notes, are linked through a common religion with Hindu communities outside India, such as in South Africa, Mauritius and Fiji. If that does not lead to their patriotic credentials being questioned, he asks, why should the Indian Muslims' spiritual links with Muslims elsewhere be regarded as suspect?
As head of the Deoband madrasa and of the Jamiat ul-Ulema-i Hind, Maulana Madni enjoyed the support of the majority of the Deobandi ulema, and his legacy continues long after his death. As his essay so brilliantly asserts, he, like most of his fellow Deobandis, was consistently and ardently anti-imperialist and passionately committed to Hindu-Muslim harmony and unity and to the cause of India as a whole. This, one cannot help remarking, was in stark contrast to Hindu extremist forces, such as the RSS and the Mahasabha, who vehemently opposed Hindu-Muslim unity and also played into the hands of British imperialism.
The Deobandi ulema who are now raising their voices against terrorism and for communal harmony are thus not engaging in anything novel. This has been the tradition of majority of the Indian Deobandis right from the late nineteenth century, and they thus seem only to be reiterating this tradition. Such initiatives should be warmly welcomed. If the state and secular non-Muslim forces are genuinely concerned about terrorism and communal conflict, they must explore ways of creatively cooperating with these and other such ulema groups. But then, since terrorism and communal conflict are not issues specific to any community, it is also for non-Muslim, particularly Hindu, religious organisations, to take a cue from the Deobandis and launch similar mass awareness campaigns against all forms of terrorism, including those engaged in by Hindu groups which have unleashed untold violence in recent decades. Sadly, there are little signs of any significant moves in that direction.

==> The Mash Eat What You Want Program
During the diet experiment that I did a couple weeks ago, the one where I lost 7 pounds in 7 days, (Link is here if you missed it: https://www.mashelite.com/losing-7-lbs-in-7-days-and-get-stronger-by-emily-drew-mash/) I used the opportunity to be creative with some new recipes using almost nothing besides a meat and vegetables. I am always, like you, looking for something that doesn't wreck my eating plan and is still delicious. This particular eating plan was pretty strict, so these recipes are super clean.
I prepped food at the beginning of the week including a spaghetti squash. Just cut it in half and roast, flesh side down, for about an hour. (Throw some sweet potatoes and chicken breast in the oven too and you've got yourself a no-work meal prep!) I finished the first squash in 2 days, so I ended up getting another one to finish out the week. I found it a very versatile and great to have on hand. Most of these recipes I threw together with food I had already prepped like chicken breast. None of them have more than 5 ingredients and can all be put together in just a few minutes, hence the skillet. Use these ideas as an inspiration and feel free to make these your own and modify them to meet your own diet needs and macros.
Also, if you make any of these or better versions, let me know! IG @emilydrewmash
Stir Fry:
Sautee ½ onion in skillet until soft.
Add in 2 cups of cooked spaghetti squash and ¼ cup frozen peas.
Add four large egg whites and mix around until the egg is cooked. (like fried rice)

Italian Skillet:
Brown lean ground beef in a skillet. When cooked, drain and rinse in a colander.
Sautee ½ onion and ½ cup diced mushrooms, and a clove of diced garlic in a skillet until soft. Season with Italian Seasoning.
Add ground beef back into skillet with vegetables and add about 1 cup crushed tomatoes.
Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in 1-2 cups of cooked spaghetti squash.
Chicken Pie Skillet:
Add 1 cup cooked spaghetti squash to a skillet with 4-6 oz. cooked diced chicken breast.
Add 2 Tbsp low fat, low sodium cream of chicken soup.
Add in ½ can of mixed vegetables. I used green beans, carrots, and corn.
Salt and Pepper to taste.

City confirms police chief's departure
NORTH LIBERTY– The City of North Liberty no longer has a police chief, but nobody is saying why, or how the vacancy occurred.
On Monday, Feb. 4, the North Liberty Leader received information that North Liberty Police Chief Jim Warkentin had resigned his position with the city. However officials in the city's administrative offices declined to say whether or not a resignation was tendered.
"He is no longer an employee with city, and (North Liberty Assistant Police Chief) Diane Venenga is acting as police chief. That is all I will say at this point," said North Liberty City Administrator Ryan Heiar. City Attorney Scott Peterson offered identical remarks.
Warkentin was North Liberty's first-ever police officer. Hired as a police sergeant in 1999, Warkentin had previously served as a patrol officer in Cedar Falls for nearly eight years before coming to North Liberty. Venega was hired four months later, and Warkentin and Venenga served as the city's two-officer police department until the department expanded to include part-time officer Tim Gavin in 2001.
The North Liberty Police Department currently has 17 officers on staff.
Warkentin could not be reached for comment prior to this publication's deadline.

Bunions Feet Problems
A bunion is a bony deformity of the joint at the base of the big toe. The medical name is hallux valgus. The main sign of a bunion is the big toe pointing towards the other toes on the same foot, which may force the foot bone attached to it (the first metatarsal) to stick outwards. Other symptoms may include a swollen, bony bump on the outside edge of your foot, pain and swelling over your big toe joint that's made worse by pressure from wearing shoes hard, callused and red skin caused by your big toe and second toe overlapping, sore skin over the top of the bunion, changes to the shape of your foot, making it difficult to find shoes that fit. These symptoms can sometimes get worse if the bunion is left untreated, so it's best to see a GP. They'll ask you about your symptoms and examine your foot. In some cases, an X-ray may be recommended to assess the severity of your bunion. Anyone can develop a bunion, but they're more common in women than men. This may be because of the style of footwear that women wear.
Shoes with narrow toes can trigger a bunion, but they?re not the underlying cause. Bunions run in families, because foot type (shape and structure) is hereditary, and some types are more prone to bunions than others. Low arches, flat feet, and loose joints and tendons all increase the risk. The shape of the metatarsal head (the top of the first metatarsal bone) also makes a difference: if it?s too round, the joint is less stable and more likely to deform when squeezed into shoes with narrow toes.
Movement of the big toe towards the smaller toes. Bulging bump on the outside of the base of the big toe. Restricted movement of the big toe. Swelling, inflammation, redness or soreness around your big toe joint. Persistent or sporadic dull, sharp or aching pain in or around the big toe. Corns, blisters and calluses which can develop when the first and second toes overlap. Over time, more severe symptoms can occur such as arthritis of the big toe, stress fractures and problems walking.
Your doctor will be able to diagnose a bunion by asking about your symptoms and examining your feet. You may also have blood tests to rule out any other medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout, although this is rare. Your doctor may refer you to a podiatrist or chiropodist (healthcare professionals who specialise in conditions that affect the feet).
Non Surgical Treatment
A bunion may only need to be treated if it's severe and causing significant pain and discomfort. The different treatments for bunions are described below. If possible, non-surgical treatment for bunions will be used, which your GP can discuss with you. Non-surgical treatments can ease the pain and discomfort caused by a bunion, but they can't change the shape of your foot or prevent a bunion from getting worse over time. Non-surgical treatments include painkillers, bunion pads, orthotics, wearing suitable footwear, These are discussed in more detail below. If your bunion is painful, over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may be recommended.Bunion pads may also ease the pain of a bunion. Reusable bunion pads, made of either gel or fleece, are available over the counter from pharmacies. Some are adhesive and stick over the bunion, while others are held against your foot by a small loop that fits over your big toe. Bunion pads stop your foot rubbing on your shoe and relieve the pressure over the enlarged joint at the base of your big toe. Orthotics are placed inside your shoes to help realign the bones of your foot. They may help relieve the pressure on your bunion, which can ease the pain. However, there's little evidence that orthotics are effective in the long term. It's important that the orthotic fits properly, so you may want to seek advice from your GP or podiatrist (a specialist in diagnosing and treating foot conditions), who can suggest the best ones for you.
Surgical Treatment
The surgical treatment will vary depending on x-ray analysis and severity of the deformity. Most bunion surgeries focus on realigning the bony deformities of the bunion/big toe joint. At Accent on Feet we practice Ambulatory foot surgery for bunion correction. This method allows for faster healing, lower risk and preferred cosmetic result over traditional hospital surgery. All surgical procedures are performed in the office using local anesthesia (freezing). All patients walk immediately.
A lot of bunion deformities are hereditary so there isn't much you can do to fully prevent them. Early detection and treatment will go a long way in preventing the growth of the bunion and foot pain. Often times, a good custom orthotic can be very effective in slowing the progression of a bunion, but a podiatrist provides that. Waiting with bunions will worsen the condition and could lead to further complications such as hammertoes or contracted toes. Besides causing deformity, these secondary conditions can eventually cause issues with walking and affect your knees, hip, lower back. There are no lotions over the counter that would be able to actually treat the problem. There are some bunion shields that you can place on the bump to ease symptoms and pressure from shoes. However because this condition is an actual bone deformity, the over the counter option solutions are more like a Band-aid approach.

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Brings Paul Newman's Grandson to Mystic Falls
If you've ever seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cool Hand Luke, or The Color of Money, then you are aware of legendary actor Paul Newman. Well, starting in Season 3, Episode 11, "Our Town," his grandson Daniel Newman (One Tree Hill, Heroes) will be joining the Mystic Falls crew on The Vampire Diaries. Newman will play Daniel Warren, a mysterious stranger.
We know how well mysterious strangers usually fare on TVD, and considering Newman has roles in The Great Gatsby and The Dark Knight Rises coming up, it seems unlikely that this newcomer will be cooling his heels at the Grill for long.

42nd Street's Inside Out service supports young people, aged 13-25 who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or questioning their gender identity and/or sexuality (LGBTQ+). People may describe their gender as non-binary or gender fluid or their sexuality as pansexual, asexual or a huge range of other identities across the gender and sexuality spectrums. The many ways in which we identify ourselves is as wonderfully diverse as we are!
We offer individual therapeutic support with an 'out' LGBTQ+ worker. Sessions will be arranged at a time and in a venue that works for you. Check out individual therapeutic support for more information about support available and if you have any worries or questions, take a look at some FAQs that young people often find helpful.
You might want to talk about the process of 'coming out' to friends and family, experiences at school or college, difficulties at home or want to explore your sexuality and/or gender identity. Many LGBTQ+ young people prefer to speak to an LGBTQ+ worker who is familiar with some of their difficulties, life experiences and culture. For others, accessing an LGBTQ+ service enables them to gain the confidence to connect with LGBTQ+ community services and meet other LGBTQ+ young people.
Inside Out delivers groups and projects throughout the year. Our biggest event is planning and getting involved in the Manchester PRIDE parade. Our groups and projects are a great way to get involved in the LGBTQ+ community, gain peer support, have fun and make new friends.
Q42 is our online LGBTQ+ project for young people aged 13-18 across Greater Manchester. The Q42 group meet weekly here at 42nd Street and young people are creating an online space for other LGBTQ+ young people. If you want to help shape how LGBTQ+ young people connect in the community, meet new people, have fun and learn some new creative skills, get involved!
Call us: 0161 228 7321 or email us: email@example.com and we'll give you all the info you need!
Check out our project page or the Q42 website and tell us what you think!

It was a comparatively big business for its day. Weatherhead�s Houma plant employed at least 300 men in the 1940s, fabricating thousands of butane cylinders from raw sheet steel.
Joseph Fazzio, then an overhead crane operator for Weatherhead, still has a promotional booklet it issued in 1948. He brought it to Courier offices last week, and let us borrow it.
In 12 pages of text and photographs, it reviewed the history of the company, showing the manufacturing process and scores of the men who worked at the west-Houma plant.
Details: I hope soon to discuss with Fazzio his reminiscences of Weatherhead, a significant post-war Houma employer before it closed abruptly just before Christmas 1948.
The recollections of other former Weatherhead employees, like Evans Thibodaux, are welcome. Thibodaux contacted me soon after an article back in April, reviewing 1948 news accounts of the company�s brief existence in Houma.
The "Project": This week, Terrebonne old-timers John Daigle and Mark Steib took me to visit Henry and Ada Olivier at their home in the part of Schriever popularly known as the "project."
The Oliviers were not original residents of the federal experiment in resettlement of vacant sugar-cane lands, but they have lived there since 1949, using their 72 acres to raise sugar cane and later, truck crops.
Olivier is now retired from farming and from his other job, driving a bus for the Terrebonne Parish School Board.
Another Schriever resident, Robert LeBlanc, reports that his father was among the local leaders of the original Terrebonne Association, the official name of the "project" which in the mid-1930s divided the acreage of Schriever area sugar plantations into single family farms intended to be self sustaining.
Complicated: Former Terrebonne Library Director Margaret Shaffer reports that she has documents related to the former Isle of Cuba plantation, one of those included in the "project."
In time, I hope to be able to collect information from Shaffer, the LeBlancs, the Oliviers and others with project connections, for fabrication into a feature story. The recollections of others are welcome, write or call.
By Chance: A notice from the Houma Regional Arts Council announces the upcoming showing of landscape paintings by Chance Cenac. The display, at the Waterlife Museum, 7910 Park Ave., Houma, runs Monday through June 8, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
Spiritual humor: A 98-year-old Irish mother superior was dying. Her nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They gave her some warm milk, but she refused. One took the milk back to the kitchen and added a generous amount of Irish whiskey.
Back at the reverend mother�s bed, she again held the glass to her lips.
Mother drank a little, then a little more, then drained the glass.
"Mother," the nuns pleaded, "please give us some wisdom before you die."
She raised herself up in bed and with a pious look on her face said, "Don�t sell that cow." Edited from an e-mail submission by Al Voisin.
Responding? Contact Bill Ellzey at (985) 381-6256, at (985) 876-5638, at email@example.com or c/o The Courier, P.O. Box 2717, Houma, LA 70361.
Anybody remember Weatherhead?
It was a comparatively big business for its day. Weatherhead�s Houma plant employed at least 300 men in the 1940s, fabricating thousands of butane cylinders from raw sheet steel.

Well this is the story of a popular writer by name Yandamuri Veerendranath losing to a popular lyricist named Seetarama Sastry. Well if you are wondering how this could be, you better read the entire story.
Going into the story, some 25yrs back when both Veerendranath and Sirivennela were out of station for some story discussion, they had a friendly game of cards. And the game that started off as a petty time passer, eventually turned into a serious betting. And in one such game, Veerendranath lost a bet to Seetarama Sastry. Surprisingly it is a bet of Rs. 25000/- (equivalent to lakhs today) that Veerendranath lost it to Sirivennela.
So, besides songs, Sirivennela apparently has a good hand at some tricky outdoor games too! Well, such a Rs. 25000 loss became a priceless memory after 25yrs which was shared by Veerendranath on the eve of Anaamika audio release. – Sweet isn't it?

Goodnight, Sadie (2002 - 2014)
15 comments:
I was so incredibly sad to read the news on Facebook. Sadie was a very special girl. Our hearts go out to you! We'll miss your beautiful pictures of her.ReplyDeleteReplies
thanks, carrie. her personality was so unlike our other three. she had no problem going up to strangers and sniffing them several times over. and definitely had no problem with resting her head on the backs of greyhounds that she had just met (and, who in turn, never snarked at her for doing so!). i hadn't been interested in fostering, much less adopting, a black grey — even when we saw her in a kennel off to the side: alone, wagging her tail, and whining for attention near the end of her retirement day. but the rest is history.Delete
it was because of her and her "crackerdog" antics that i named my photo business after her. i have much that i owe her that i cannot repay. she was my heart dog.
I still can't believe it, as I know you and your family are still in shock as well. These past couple of days, I have found myself thinking of your Sadie every time I call my own Sadie's name. I am so sorry for the loss of your Sadie. Hold on to your memories...ReplyDeleteReplies
i'm still looking at the places where she used to be; i'm still walking our evening walk; i'm still looking at her raised feeder; i'm still staring at our bed, expecting to see her sleeping on it. i will be doing this for a long, long time.Delete
Such sad news. We know what it's like to lose two girls so close to each other. Just not fair.ReplyDeleteReplies
i didn't think we'd have this happen to us: there was no reason to. perhaps i thought i was somehow untouchable. i could not fathom how others coped, although i figured they did the best they could. so within the span of a year we've had a taste of osteo, and now the passing of two greys. we were so touchable.Delete
My heart breaks every time. Sweet Sadie, you are going to be missed so terribly. My deepest sympathy to all who loved Sadie.ReplyDelete
Sweet Sadie, now together with Katie again. I have no words of comfort. So many lovely dogs have left in the past 12 months or so. It's like an epidemic. Every one hurts even though I don't know them personally. So I'm sharing your sadness but also looking forward to the arrival of Bean. We need some puppy photos and tales :)ReplyDeleteReplies
we were going to take sadie with us to get bean. she didn't like car rides all that much. she really could've used a companion, although i think she coped with not having katie around for the past six months better than i thought she would. i really wanted to see how she and the puppy would interact, as well as with our friend's three greys. i want to think they would've gotten along splendidly, and i was prepared to photograph it like nobody's business.Delete
Sleep softly dear Sadie. You've earned your rest.ReplyDelete
So very sorry for your loss. It is so heart wrenching when you have to say goodbye. She was a beautiful girl and I know you are so heart broken. You are in our thoughts.ReplyDelete
So very sorry to hear this...Such a beautiful girl.ReplyDelete
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing Sadie's beauty through your photographs.ReplyDelete

14 February, 2017 – 6 March, 2017: Mature Matrix: Library Services for Seniors
Mature Matrix: Library Services for Seniors was a 3-week course offered by ALIA in partnership with Sydney TAFE. It was provided completely online, through Moodle, a commonly used learning management system in educational institutions. The course aimed to help participants understand the characteristics and needs of older people, the services that are available to them in the community, and how to develop and implement targeted library programs, services and collections for older people. The course was aimed at people working in public libraries.
I don't work in a public library, so I thought that I might have some difficulty completing the course. I have recently completed a 2-week placement in a public library, however, which I found extremely beneficial to my ability to participate effectively in the course. The course content was more meaningful for me having had experiences of adult programming in my library placement; e.g. the home delivery service, the community technology classes, and the lively knitters. Having said that, the strength of the learning materials and resources with which we were provided was such that I am sure a person who was not working in a public library would still have been able to participate effectively.
The course content consisted of three topics, released weekly, and participants worked through the material and tasks at their own pace. There were frequent reassurances from the facilitators to let people know that the material would be accessible after the official end-date of the course, as many joined the course late. I found that I fell behind during the course because we had house guests for 2 consecutive weekends which took away my time to work on the course; so it was a relief to know that the materials would still be available post-end date. It was wonderful that the course was so flexible; important for adult learners with jobs, families and other commitments.
Course requirements were clear from the outset, and participants knew what was required of them to achieve a certificate upon completion. In order to ensure that participants were engaging with the learning materials, tasks were set and participant submissions were uploaded to the relevant forum on Moodle. It was made clear that submissions would not be graded; participation (as evidenced by submissions to Moodle) was the key requirement. The fact that the submissions were not graded was a great relief to me. I find it difficult to get started on something if I know it is going to be graded. I tend to procrastinate and spend too much time worrying if my submission is good enough. As a result, I found this experience quite liberating – I could just get in and start (which I did).
I thought this course was excellent, and I got a lot out of it. I feel like I learned a lot, and have come away with many practical ideas and resources to assist me in future work with older people in a public library. I will do more ALIA professional development activities in the future.

After Hershey we drove up to Niagara Falls. I had always wanted to go there and since Hershey was just a few (like 6 or so) hours away I thought it would be an awesome addition to our super road trip. We first explored on the US side then crossed over to Canada to play at a waterpark and stay in a beautiful hotel overlooking the falls.
Because I'm a traveler I wanted to continue our road trip home by continuing on through Canada, visiting a cute little Merry-Go-Round my sister told me about and passing through Detroit as our entrance back into the US. This was all fine and dandy because we had smart phones to guide our path and a Garmin GPS in the car.
When we got about 20 minutes into Canada it was time to turn off the highway and make our way to the Merry-Go-Round in St. Catherines. We were relying on our phones to lead the way. The map on our phone took us most of the way but it immediate stopped working. Realization hit that we didn't have international service on our phone and we were far enough in Canada to not reach our US signal anymore. I turned on the GPS in hopes of being rescued to find that we didn't have international maps installed on our Garmin. A lot of good that navigation system was.
Luckily the plan worked and we ended up in Detroit. Once we got near the US border again our phones kicked back on and I felt a huge sense of relief. It was quite the adventure during our two hours lost in Canada.

We're very excited about the upcoming release of web services standards with HR-XML 3.0! We've seen quite a few more companies who are able to support web services over the last year, which has made data integration so much smoother.
HR-XML is an organization who has been creating standards for data integrations for years. Adoption for companies, however, has been slower than hoped, I think because of the variety in which companies can implement xml.
The new standard will give more guidelines not just for the xml itself, but for how it should be integrated into a web service. We're excited about implementing this within myStaffingPro!

On Tuesday, June 14th approximately 80 pastors from across North Carolina traveled into Raleigh to hold a press conference and participate in a legislative day of action in support of the privacy and safety of all North Carolinians at the North Carolina General Assembly.
They started the day with a press conference in prayer. "We prayed for "our brothers and sisters who lost their lives and for those that are grieving due to the senseless violent shootings in Orlando." Family is very important aspect to the hispanic and latino culture—so today it was natural for these pastors to stand in prayer for our nation and our state.
They continued at the press conference to say, "We also stand collectively to say, 'we believe we have a duty to protect the privacy, dignity, and safety of all North Carolinians, especially our children.' The support of privacy and safety is so vast that it crosses party lines, race lines, nationality lines, faith lines, and more. This is clear: the great majority of North Carolinians believe our children deserve protection." Today's meeting shows this to be especially true within the hispanic and latino community.
After the press conference attendees were scheduled to meet with legislators.
Speakers Included:
Pastor Maudia Melendez— Pastor Maudia Melendez represents Jesus Ministry International. Maudia Melendez was born in Nicaragua and immigrated to the United States in 1987 and has since become an American citizen. In 2002 Melendez founded Jesus Ministry Inc. in order for the Latino community to assimilate the United States culture. She was the recipient of the 2007 "La Noticia Excelente Award" and listed by Charlotte Magazine as one of the top nine most powerful women in North Carolina.
Pastor Dan Rodriguez— Pastor Dan Rodriguez is Chaplain of Calvary Jail Ministries, Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Inclusion is a strong theme we will be focusing on during the year ahead.
Our core principles remain firmly focused on :
Fostering continued contact between Past Pupils and the College and between Past Pupils of the College.
Supporting the Traditional Ethos of the College.
Carrying out Charitable Works.
Supporting the College in its various activities, both academic and non-academic.
Fostering a Spirit of Support between Past Pupils for Each Other.
We have many events lined up over the next year so please keep note of the key dates in the Union Calendar, notably the Class Reunion Dinners, The Annual Dinner, Business Lunch, Annual Retreat and the Golf Outings.
Demand for these events has never been greater so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Our Global Reach continues to grow and we will host an Annual Dinner this November again in New York and a Business Lunch in London next February.
We have a busy year ahead so I would like to Thank the Union Committee and also Brigid O'Byrne, in the Union Office, for all their hard work and dedication in Supporting the Union Activities and all the Members.

5 habits of highly motivated novelists [INFOGRAPHIC results from our NaNoWriMo experiment]Posted: December 11, 2012 Filed under: Self Tracking 9 Comments
Last month, we ran an experiment with the help of over a hundred writers attempting National Novel Writer's Month. We wanted to understand what it takes to tackle a challenge like NaNoWriMo and actually stick with it. So we asked writers to use RescueTime to track their time for the month of November. The writers were able to use RescueTime's productivity tools to better understand their time, and we were able to take a look at the the broader data set and see if we could spot any patterns that would shine some light on how to stay motivated for a project like this. When it was all said and done, we recorded 3,097 hours of writing-related activities, which is pretty amazing. We've been analyzing the data for the past few days, and have been able to boil it down to a few of the more interesting observations.
Among other things, we found that:
- Authors that logged the most writing time seemed to take regular dinner breaks
- Basically no one wrote anything on Thanksgiving day
- In addition to traditional word processing programs, many people used websites such as Write or Die to stay motivated with their writing
For more insights, click below to enlarge the infographic. If you'd like to use RescueTime to better understand your own productive habits, click here to sign up.
Obviously, we couldn't have done this study without the help of all the writers that were nice enough to participate. Thanks so much!

Allar hopes to wrap up USA Crits title at Chris Thater Memorial
By Cycling News
Women's series ends Saturday
The next round of the USA Crits series will take place in Binghamton, New York this weekend, and for the women it will be the season finale as Erica Allar battles Tiffany Pezzulo for the overall title.
Allar, winner of the Best Young Rider classification last year is now 110 points ahead of Pezzulo with only this weekend's Chris Thater Memorial Criterium remaining.
"I am honoured to be in the lead heading into such a classic event as the Chris Thater Memorial," said Allar. "I was ecstatic to be able to follow all of the events on the series, and I am looking forward to finishing the series at Thater and defending my lead."
Her lead may sound expansive, but with 250 points on the line for a win, Pezzulo is still within striking distance, and will be motivated by having the final race just a few hours from her hometown of Rochester, NY.
"The series has been great for me," said Pezzulo. "The racing has been awesome and all the courses have offered something really unique and interesting. I am excited about being in second in the overall, and I'm looking forward to giving it everything at Thater.
"After a disappointing race in Charlotte, I'm especially motivated to come to Thater ready to fight as hard as I can to regain the leader's jersey."
For the men, the Chris Thater Memorial is the penultimate race in the series which ends at the Texas Tough Grand Prix in Dallas next month.
Clayton Barrows (AXA Equitable) has only a 4 point lead over Maxxis Best Young Rider Isaac Howe (Mountain Khakis), with teammate and reigning USA CRITS Champion Mark Hekman sitting in third.

ABGPS/IMU Data Collection
ABGPS/IMU Flight Data Collection
GPS(GNSS)/IMU Data Collection for Accurate Acquisition of Airborne Imagery
Collection of GPS/IMU data is the cornerstone of accurate and reliable airborne imagery or photography. That's why we use a tightly coupled GPS and IMU (inertial measurement unit) receiver for all of our projects and deliver this data along with the digital imagery to our clients and partners.
During the acquisition of aerial imagery, the onboard GPS (or GNSS) receiver accurately captures altitude, latitude and longitude coordinates so the absolute location of the camera is recorded as each image frame is collected. Simultaneously, the IMU is recording details on the attitude (pitch, yaw and roll) of the camera system at the instant of each image frame acquisition.
This combination of information from the GPS and IMU is critical for effecient photogrammetric processing, by our clients and partners, of geometrically accurate imagery. It not only results in higher quality imagery, the GPS/IMU system can dramatically reduce the number of ground control points that must be surveyed in concert with the flight – decreasing the overall cost of a mapping project or orthophoto project.
NovAtel SPAN-SE GPS(GNSS)/INS Receiver
Midwest Aerial takes pride in acquiring imagery over your area of interest when you need it. And we get it right the first time. That's one of the reasons we use tightly coupled GPS/IMU (inertial measurement unit) systems for accurate and reliable acquisition of digital imagery positional and orientation data.
Since 2009, we have relied on the NovAtel SPAN-SE dual frequency GPS(GNSS)/INS receiver. This receiver records both GNSS and INS data simultaneously along with the events created by the camera system for each image exposure. As the tightly coupled NovAtel SPAN-SE airborne receiver collects GPS coordinate position points during the acquisition process, the Novatel SPAN-SE records IMU velocity and attitude data so that the position solution is maintained even if GPS signals are blocked by the aircraft wing during steeper turns. This flexibility allows us to complete our flight lines faster than would be otherwise possible.
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
To ensure accuracy and reliability, it is imperative that the best quality equipment be used, both in accuracy and reliability. After careful consideration and inflight testing, since 2009, we have selected the iMAR F-SAS IMU for our Zeiss/Intergraph DMC II-140 digital camera systems. This system has proven to be extremely robust.
The SPAN technology tightly couples the GPS and IMU information from the iMAR F-SAS during the flight to provide unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Integrated post-processing of the GPS and IMU data by our clients and partners is completed in a single step resulting in a robust solution for precise positioning and orientation of each image frame.

So this isn't this ?
More seriously, it makes sense now that you're telling it.
-pl_ah used for accessories.
-pl_ba used for body paint.
-pl_bd used for normal outfits.
-pl_bp used for stickers/emblems.
-pl_bs used for basic skin textures.
-pl_ey used for eyes.
-pl_hb used for eyebrows.
-pl_hd used for head parts?
-pl_hr used for hair.
-pl_hs used for face paint.
-pl_lg used for leg parts.
-pl_mob random civilian textures?
-pl_rm used for arm parts.
-pl_tr used for torso parts.
Note that eyelashes are a bit odd... They seem to be under "pl_eb" as archives but the textures are "pl_hr". It's terribly confusing I know, I need to confirm this properly at some point.

Rapper Jay-Z walks down the aisle of a church with daughter Blue Ivy while his wife Beyonce dances in the pulpit in the video for his new single Family Feud.
The video also shows Jay-Z, real name Sean Carter, dressed in a dark suit and rapping from a confession box.
The star-studded video, directed by Selma filmmaker Ava DuVernay, also features Oscar winner Brie Larson, a heavily pregnant Mindy Kaling, Niecy Nash, Janet Mock, Rosario Dawson, Constance Wu, Rashida Jones and Susan Kelechi Watson as the Founding Mothers of the United States, rewriting the constitution.
The video also stars Jessica Chastain, Thandie Newton, David Oyelowo, Michael B Jordan and Moonlight star Trevante Rhodes.
DuVernay shared a series of behind the scenes photographs from the video shoot, including ones of Jordan, Newton and Rhodes.
She wrote: "The first scene focuses on errors. All families hurt each other. Mistakes are made. Expectations unmet. Jealousies fester."
Addressing the Founding Mothers, she wrote: "I loved the idea of their being Co-Presidents of the United States in the future.
"And that a Native American woman was one of them. One of the first ideas I shared with @S_C_. He was all in. We had fun dreaming this up.
"This country will not stay the same. #ChangeIsComing."
She added: "The Founding Mothers. What else is there to say? I believe in our power. And I appreciate these dynamic artists who came out on a Saturday to represent all kinds of women at the table. Not a seat. ALL THE SEATS!"
Writing about the scene in the church, she continued: "I'll let the final scene just stay where it is. In the film, with that family. Being their brilliant, black, brave, bold selves. May we all fortify our families. Our communities. Our society. In whatever ways we can."
Family Feud is available on Tidal.

Why does gcc give internal error messages?
If you see diagnostic messages like

If you see diagnostic messages like
../include/wx/ctrlsub.h:156: internal error: Segmentation fault
TODO: Reformat for MediaWiki formatting.
stdio.h: no such file or directory
(or another standard header)
This may be occur if you install GCC but not the w32api and mingw-runtime packages. The MinGW installer (e.g. MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe) includes all the basic packages you need: GCC, binutils, w32api, mingw-runtime and mingw32-make. See http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml.
gcc: no input files
When you first download and install the MinGW Java compiler (gcc-java), you may find that when you try to compile a Java program with gcj, you get an error saying "cannot find -liconv". This is because gcj automatically attempts to link your program with libiconv, which is not distributed with MinGW and must be downloaded and installed separately. To get your Java program to compile, download libiconv from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm. You want "Binaries" and "Developer files". Unzip both downloaded files to your MinGW directory.

HEBRON – College-bound high school students really should pay attention in class in order to succeed in higher education, agreed all seven members of a panel of recent Lakewood grads Tuesday. The grads described college life to several roomfuls of Lakewood High School students.
"I wished I would've looked into other areas (of study)," said Lakewood grad Brittany Lang, who is an electrical engineering major at Ohio Northern University. She's finding that electrical engineering may not be for her, but she said college students shouldn't fear changing majors if that's what they want to do. College counselors are supportive and helpful in these decisions.
"You have to have good time management skills or you won't get anything accomplished," Lang told the high schoolers. She said her typical day begins about 6:45 a.m. with classes that last until 1 or 3 p.m. Lang attends track practice for a few hours before studying in the evening.
"Don't sell yourself short," said Lakewood grad Brian Wright, an IT major at West Point. "Apply for the school of your choice and go for it." Wright, attending a military academy, has an atypical college experience. His day starts at 5:30 a.m. and, unlike most college students, his living quarters is required to be spotless at all times. "My room has to be perfect," he said. Wright has classes until noon or 3 p.m., then intramural sports, dinner, and study until bedtime. He said West Point professors each assign two hours of homework per class per day. "I have about five classes," said Wright. It's very difficult to keep up with the workload and he averages roughly five hours of sleep per night.
Lakewood grad Hannah Dixon, a track and field athlete at Otterbein College, advised high school students to enroll in college even if they haven't decided on a major. She's taking secondary education and biology, but leaving her options open. Her typical day begins later than Wright's, with classes beginning at 9:30 a.m. and generally lasting until 2 p.m., followed by track practice. "I never studied in high school, ever," Dixon admitted. As a result she said she had to learn strong study skills very quickly. It took some work, said Dixon, but she's adjusting. Another adjustment was accepting she could leave class when the professor said it's over, unlike high school classes where everyone is required to remain until a certain time each day.
Dixon suggests joining as many organized campus groups as possible to meet new friends. "Then you're not stuck hanging out with your roommate," she said.
"I'm learning strategies of learning," said Lakewood grad Josiah Olsen, a math and economics major at Kenyon College. He told the high school students he wished he spent a little less time "playing chess and wasting time" while he was a high school student but, then again, a liberal arts college like Kenyon provides four more years for a student to learn about him or her self.
Most days Olsen wakes up around 8 a.m., but can schedule afternoon classes if he likes. He can expect about four or five hours of homework per night-far more than he experienced in high school.
"The harder you work in high school the better," said Lakewood grad Andrew McKnight, who's taking aerospace engineering at The Ohio State University. Form his observations of college classmates so far, he's concluded, "Don't be a pothead; you'll fail." He regrets scheduling chemistry labs in the evening, because they continue late into night, then he has to wake up early the next day. McKnight definitely works harder in college than he did in high school. "Procrastination is a big no-no," he said. If a college student can be organized about class work, he or she can have plenty of free time, McKnight observes. "Take the hardest courses you can (in high school)," he said. "Push yourself."
"Don't be late to class," said Lakewood grad Miranda Gloyd, a nursing major at the Ohio State Newark campus. "You get points for going to class." The number of classmates who skip classes surprises her. They're not doing themselves any favors, said Gloyd. Time management is critical to her because she's working her way though school with a mall job. "I've pulled a couple of all nighters," said Gloyd. She advised the high schoolers not to worry about a job interfering with schoolwork. Most businesses that employ college students, she said, offer flexible scheduling.
Lakewood grad Kyle Weekly, a fire fighter and EMT, arrived later in the forum, but advised the high school students not to "take a break" their senior high school year, but rather to study hard and prepare for college's challenges.

So I known as my buddy and asked the question? Why am I much more confident than you when encountering other men and women? So my pal told me he couldn't believe I did that. I told him it beats staring, being intimidated, and letting worry of rejection overcome an opportunity.
At the age of 33, Serena regained the quantity one particular ranking in the world, a distinction that she very first accomplished back in 2002. Serena's game has definitely withstood the test of time and competitors. Her Grand Slam titles have come more than a 17-year period starting in 1999, with her newest victory coming at the 2016 Wimbledon Championship. Earlier in the day we stood waiting. Some glancing at watches, others settled on century old marble stairs, I located my spirit strangely at ease. Calm… present….the doors will open when the doors open.
They do not belong anyplace, and so they belong everywhere. Folks who hate Doc Martens just don't realize them. It's their loss. Neglect about the naysayers and appreciate your practical and intensely beautiful boots. I could do with a woman cave. My guy has so much of the property occupied that I actually ought to be cording off my own little section -> going to go uncover me a cave in the back yard probably. I passed this write-up on to the individual being targeted so she could see it really is not her fault. Haters gotta hate. But there are folks willing to stand against. LeanMan, I have a query for you: how dangerous is Saudi Arabia? And do you know anything about Taif? I'd genuinely appreciate your time. I paid 200 riyals a month for my inernet connection by means of mobily and that was sufficient for me.
I like to wear what I contact a waterfall jacket due to the fact the lack of horizontal lines is flattering to a fuller figure. Blouses which button can come undone, so steer clear of them. If you have a plus size but beautiful figure, business meetings are not the spot to show it off. You want consumers to listen, not invest all their time seeking. Do not generate an extra horizontal line by tucking your blouse into your pants, just make confident that the fabric of your blouse isn't see-by means of. You must not be capable to see the pants under the top.
To get about you will want to use either taxis or have a driver as you cannot drive oneself. There are several drivers who you can have arrangements with to drive you when you need them rather than have your own committed driver, nonetheless this is not strictly legal and could be a problem if you happen to be stopped and the police are in a undesirable mood.
