Scalability for Web applications
What is scalability?
In simple terms, the server should be able to meet the increased demand for HITS per SECOND/ Transactions per Second over a period of time in increasing user ratio, without failure.
If the Hits per second decreases at some point of time, then it is indicative of decreased performance. Typically a decrease in scalability can be traced to database indexing problem, a full data cache or a saturated network connection.
Therefore it becomes necessary to test the disk usage, memory, or network components while stress testing. Continue reading "Web Applications – Scalability"

The New Hall Art Collection is a collection of modern and contemporary art by women on display at Murray Edwards College.
The Collection, which was founded in 1986 with the acquisition of Mary Kelly's six-part work Extase, has evolved through gifts and loans from artists and alumnae. It now includes over 500 works by artists of international quality and renown – including Dame Paula Rego, Maggi Hambling CBE, Cornelia Parker RA, Sandra Blow RA, Lubaina Himid and Judy Chicago – and is considered to be one of the largest and most significant collections of contemporary art by women in the world.
On 7 March 2018, the New Hall Art Collection received accreditation from the Arts Council England. Accreditation recognises the quality of the Collection and the professionalism with which it is managed, putting it on a level with major galleries throughout the UK.
The Collection's home at Murray Edwards College is very fitting; the College is focused on women's learning and its 1960s modernist architecture lends itself well to a Collection of contemporary art. It aims, through the artworks which are displayed throughout the building, to inspire those who live and work in Murray Edwards College to consider the place of art in their every-day lived experience.
The Collection is open to visitors throughout the year and many of the works are on display to the public. A self-guided tour is available from the Porters' Lodge.
Exhibitions and Events
We have a series of talks, lectures and screenings – please see the Exhibitions and Events page for more information.

Jason Kidd spoke with reporters briefly before Tuesday night's home game against the Jazz. He confirmed that Andray Blatche and Brook Lopez are playing. Here is what else he had to say:
On playing Utah: "Utah is Utah. They play hard, they're well coached, disciplined, and young. They could easily be 3-0 too their game against Houston was especially close.
On winning at home: "When you talk about elite teams, they are always successful at home and find a way to win on the road. For us to be successful this year, we have to protect our home."
On Deron Williams: "For Deron this is preseason. He didn't do a lot in the preseason. We have to figure out a way to work him back into games and it's a process. We haven't played him over 30-something minutes, but there will be a point in the season when he'll be there. He's been good about it, but it's going to take some time. He'll get there."
On Richard Jefferson: "He's going left. I was just joking about him going left. He's a good teammate, a great teammate. He made it easy for me all those years and it's good to see that he's still playing at a high level. I'm sure he's a big help on that team with all of their young players."
On getting used to coaching: "Every day I'm getting a little bit better, feeling more comfortable, learning. It's no different tonight. I'm just trying to keep learning and getting guys involved. It's no different from being a player, you always have to keep learning."

When I was a kid, around nine or ten years old, I loved climbing to the very top of any high tree I could find. Thankfully, my mother never witnessed me clinging joyfully to the crown of an 80-foot cottonwood, swaying broadly on branches no thicker than my arms. Yikes. I was lucky.
It's those awesome memories that made me even more troubled when doing research for this blog and infographic. How many majestic trees like I perched in are cut down to support our bad paper habits? And what can we do?
Check out the Infographic "DOCU-MENTAL: It's crazy how much paper businesses still use."
Some more stats that would keep that tree-climbing boy worried.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, we use around 400 million tons of paper products a year globally; predicted to top 500 million by 2020. We're especially bad in the office. Look at this info from forestethics.org:
- The average document is copied 9 to 11 times.
- 45% of the paper printed in offices ends up trashed by the end of the day. That's about a trillion sheets of paper annually!
All that paper represents about a tree per employee per year. And with 57 million office workers in the US alone (KFF Research), you can appreciate the local and global impact.
No need to go out on a limb to help make a difference.
Read "Top 10 Uses for Electronic Signatures for Small Business."
I was that kid a long, long time ago, way before the advent of the internet and smart phones and tablets. "The cloud" was something in the sky and businesses had no alternative than paper for documenting activities and contracts. Luckily, this is no longer the case. There are more digital ways to create, distribute, and manage documents than ever before. And electronic signatures can just about completely eliminate paper and shipping hassles and costs.
Now grab your smartphone or tablet, download this whitepaper "Top 10 Uses for Electronic Signatures for Small Business," go outside, and climb a tree. It's a quick read while you sway in the wind.

A man has filed a personal injury suit against a plumbing and heating company, claiming that he was struck on the knee with a shovel by one of the workers.
According to the suit Aaron Bricker filed in Illinois' Madison County Circuit Court on March 1, he was working at a McDonald's in Bethalto on June 8, 2008. At that same time, Hubert Plumbing and Heating Company was working on the premises. One of Hubert's employees struck Bricker on the knee with a shovel.
Bricker claims the incident caused him to suffer injuries to his knees, experience pain and suffering and disability, incur medical expenses, and lose wages.
The suit alleges negligence on the part of Hubert Plumbing and Heating Company for failure to properly block off the work area, failure to provide proper supervision for its employees, and failure to warn by-standers of the use of shovels.
Bricker seeks unspecified damages.

Thanks so much to Tracy Fenton and Orion for the blog tour invite (and the ARC), I am delighted to share my review of 'Endgame' by Daniel Cole!
A locked room. A dead body. A secret that went to the grave.
When retired police officer Finlay Shaw is found dead in a locked room, everyone thinks it's suicide. But disgraced detective William 'Wolf' Fawkes isn't so sure.
Together with his former partner Detective Emily Baxter and private detective Edmunds, Wolf's team begin to dig into Shaw's early days on the beat. Was Shaw as innocent as he seemed? Or is there more to his past than he'd ever let on?
But not everyone wants Wolf back – and as his investigation draws him ever deeper into police corruption, it will not only be his career on the line – but the lives of those he holds closest as well…
What does TWG think?
If you aren't already aware, 'Endgame' is the third installment in the 'Ragdoll' series. The author does state at the beginning of this book that it would be highly advantageous if you read the books in order, however i did not do that despite having the previous books ready to read! Whoops! Having said that, I didn't find the story any less enjoyable not having the in depth backstory of each of the characters. In all honesty, I fluffing loved it!!!!
How amazing is Wolf!!! I was in hysterics at pretty much ALL of the things that came out of his mouth, and at times I felt a teeny bit guilty at laughing given the nature of the circumstances at the time.
'Endgame' is SO addictive! Retired police officer, Finlay, is found dead in his own home. Officers investigating the death class it as suicide, however Wolf isn't convinced that Finlay would go to such lengths. Given Wolf's unruly personality and ability to annoy everyone around him without even doing anything, Wolf's idea didn't go down well with his 'colleagues'. Would it be in their best interests to trust his instincts, or would they be better off agreeing with the verdict of 'suicide' where Finlay is concerned?
Wolf doesnt exactly make it easy for himself, does he? Even though I wasn't aware of what he had done to annoy his colleagues in the previous books, I got the jist after his personality shone through rather quickly.
As I said above, I fluffing love this book. I adored every single thing about it, from the flawed characters to the frayed relationships, to the thrilling events and the fast paced storline. Honestly, Daniel Cole is an incredible, incredible author – why I haven't delved into his books before now is beyond me!
I thought this was such a cleverly written novel with outstanding humour running throughout. I wouldn't expect a thriller to be laced with hilarity, yet Daniel Cole, and Wolf, made it work.
What a phenomenally twisted, thrilling, humourous and addictive read which, if reading this caused speeding tickets, I would be severely bankrupt now! What a book!!!!

UTS Library asked about
What is the future for publishing theses online?
2 answers
45781 views
Many Australian universities, including UTS, are exploring the idea of making it compulsory to submit a digital copy of all theses, and for authors to give the library the right to publish their thesis on the Web when they submit. It is likely that all universities will eventually require a digital copy of all theses to be submitted, and perhaps may not even require a print copy any longer, but this is still some way off at UTS.

Best feature: The ease of operation and simplicity to set up.
Tip: Wax all stainless and aluminium for ease of operation and to keep the mill clean. If you run out of fuel at the end of the day don't forget to turn off the key, otherwise the battery will drain and need recharging.

Iconic and impressive: Scarzella on Rome 2017 venue
Images courtesy of AndreaStaccioli/Insidefoto.
Journalists, local authorities, politicians, athletes and sports administrators were represnted at the opening press conference for the Rome 2017 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final, held on 22 June in CONI's 'Salone d'Onore', the Italian Olympic Committee's room of honour.
The season-ending event will be held in Rome on 2/3 September, in the Stadio dei Marmi 'Pietro Mennea', next to the Olympic Stadium in the Foro Italico.
President of the Italian Olympic Committee Giovanni Malagò, President of the Italian Paralympic Committee Luca Pancalli, Senator Cristina Chiavaroli, and World Archery Vice President and Fitarco President Mario Scarzella were among the speakers.
"When we proposed the Stadio dei Marmi as the venue for the Hyundai Archery World Cup Final, the President of World Archery Prof Dr Ugur Erdener and President Malagò were really excited about this choice," said Scarzella.
"Rome 2017 is one of the most important sport events in Italy in this season and this venue is one of the most iconic and impressive we have in our country. I'm sure that the audience who will come to Rome to follow this event will be fascinated by the challenges of the great champions who will be competing."
Ardingo Scarzella, General Manager of the Hyundai Archery World Cup Final, explained that the event would welcome the best 32 individual archers in the world.
"We are proud also to host the mixed team competition, not only because it will be held in Tokyo 2020 for the first time, but also because Italy has always loved this event that we shot officially for the first time in 2009, when it was not yet part of the World Championships," he added.
Archers can collect Hyundai Archery World Cup ranking points at the four stages of the season held in Shanghai, China (in May), Antalya, Turkey and Salt Lake City, USA (both in June), and Berlin, Germany (in August) in order to qualify for the circuit's grand finale.
The Hyundai Archery World Cup Final will be held at Stadio dei Marmi in Rome, Italy on 2/3 September 2017.

Is it that time of year already?!
The other day, I stumbled across a Starbucks sakura latte in a Family Mart convenience store. It's just one of the many exciting sakura-themed treats we'll be experiencing for the approaching cherry blossoms, the pink flowers that bloom for just a few weeks in early spring.
People go crazy for it; they lay out picnic sheets, prepare a huge amount of food and beer, and have a great time under the falling petals. It's enormous fun and I'll be sure to attend at least one of these events, "hanami" in Japanese, in March.
To celebrate, here are ten upcoming (and current) goodies that various companies release for one of Japan's most beloved seasons.
1. The Starbucks Sakura Latte
Starbucks is as well loved here as it is anywhere, and the huge American coffee chain has wasted no time in releasing its strawberry jelly treat. Served hot or cold, it's recommended you only buy this if you really like sweet drinks.
2. Lipton's Sakura Milk Tea
Don't like coffee? How about tea?! Lipton's is releasing a brand new Sakura-infused milk tea to celebrate the upcoming blossoms. You can read more about this on SoraNews.
3. Sakura Kit Kats
Kit Kats may have hailed from the town of York in England, but Japan has made them great. Gaining traction in Japan for their name, which sounds like "kitto katsu" (I'll surely win) in Japanese and thus giving schoolchildren a boost when they buy them in exam season, Kit Kats now come in an enormous amount of different flavors, ranging from green tea and pumpkin to strawberry and sake.
It's no surprise, then, that Kit Kats are bought by the bucketful when sakura season rolls around.
4. The Limited-Edition Sakura Pie at Lotteria
Lotteria is a fast-food place mostly selling burgers, similar to McDonald's. In 2017, they brought out a limited-edition sakura pie for just 180 yen (about $2 USD). It was really delicious, and fans of this sweet treat are praying for a re-release.
5. Sakuramochi
Sakuramochi have been around for decades; mochi is the word for rice cake, and this seasonal treat is soft rice filled with red bean paste and wrapped in a salted sakura leaf. It's insanely more-ish and you can find them in supermarkets all over the country come cherry blossom time.
6. Sakura Milk
Perfect for kids and those who aren't keen on coffee, this snack-sized treat adds a cherry blossom twist to normal milkshakes. I'll definitely be grabbing one next time I visit Kaldi Coffee.
7. McDonald's Sakura Teriyaki Egg Burger
Not keen on sweets? You won't miss out! Every spring, McDonald's comes up with a range of sakura-themed treats, determined not to be missed out. They have a whole menu of sakura stuff: drinks, burgers, and even fries sprinkled with special cherry blossom salt.
I'm hoping for a return of the sakura teriyaki egg burger. It sounds so bad it has to be good.
8. Lindt's Sakura Menu
Lindt has shops all over the place in Japan, the sales of their pricy but high-quality cacao-filled treats boosting in February and March anyway due to Valentine's Day and White Day, respectively. They continue to sell well by introducing their sakura-themed menu, imitating other cafes with blossom-infused drinks and selling their own sakura macarons.
9. Eitaro's Sakura Jelly
This sakura-themed jelly is a frequent yearly release by Eitaro that dessert-lovers should keep an eye out for. It's 300 yen for one piece, making it slightly pricier than some others on this list, but a great treat for fans of sakura-infused foods.
10. Sakura Coca Cola
Yet another international brand jumps on the cherry blossom bandwagon! With other Japan-exclusive flavours such as peach cola, it's not much of a surprise that sakura coke is a thing, too. The fizzy drink is already pretty sweet, so it remains to be seen whether the blossom infusion will improve it or not.
Seasons and related foods change fast, so grab these sakura goodies while you can! Before we know it, it'll be summer and we'll all be fainting under the humidity again.

I think I found gold in my stash of tourmaline rough years ago. The pastel golden tourmaline with just a touch of brown had been purchased in the quest to see all the nuances of light yellowish browns that I could get. It was fun, since this color is much rarer than you might think, but it is not really commercial and in demand. The leader of the group is Queen Ecru, who is review in another post. She is larger than all the rest of her subjects and wishes to challenge all the more brightly color gemstones in beauty.
This modest standard round brilliant is willing to go along for the ride.`He is not bother excessively by brown and has great transparency. he is very slightly included, but he hides it well. This bright flashy medium toned golden round with a touch of brown, weighs 1.40 carats and has already been mined by the droplets of color.

|Greg Denovo
|Lower Heyford AFB, UK
|United States Air Force
18th Reconnaissance Squadron
|Played by:
|Duncan Pow
|First episode:
|"Day 9: 12:00pm-1:00pm"
|Last episode:
|"Day 9: 2:00pm-3:00pm"
Captain Greg Denovo was a U.S. Air Force officer with the 18th Reconnaissance Squadron, stationed at Lower Heyford Air Force Base during Day 9.
Denovo questioned his subordinate, Chris Tanner, after the latter was arrested for his alleged drone attack on Major Shepherd's convoy in Afghanistan. The captain was unconvinced by Tanner's pleas that he was innocent, as he had found Tanner's postings on a military forum threatening violent action against the major. Furthermore, Denovo said that the logs on Tanner's flight key proved he had fired the drone's missile. Tanner maintained his innocence, swearing that he had been framed by someone else.
Before 1:00pm, Denovo left with Tanner in a military transport bound for London, where the Royal Military Police would interrogate him. ("Day 9: 12:00pm-1:00pm")
He was later guarding Tanner when Jack Bauer entered posing as a member of the Diplomatic Security Service and claimed that he was there to escort Denovo and Tanner to safety from a riot by anti-drone protestors. Suspisious, Denovo went to answer a call warning him about Bauer and was knocked out from behind by Bauer while he was distracted. While he knocked out, Bauer got Tanner to tell him where to find the flight key- on Denovo- and after retrieving it, he left. Denovo woke up as the Marines, Kate Morgan and Erik Ritter arrived and told them that Bauer had stolen the flight key when Tanner refused to. ("Day 9: 2:00pm-3:00pm")

Patriots Day (R)
Here it's the Boston Marathon bombing and the four-day manhunt that followed, with Wahlberg playing a sergeant who's close by when explosions bring the race to a tragic end. Much like its predecessors, Patriots Day boasts kinetic action sequences and an engrossing, you-are-there quality that almost makes you feel bad about being thrilled. The explosions are preceded by brief scenes of Berg's cross-section of mostly real-life characters getting ready for their day in blissful ignorance of what it holds in store for them.
It can seem cruel to watch people whose lives will soon end or be irrevocably altered smile over the breakfast table or flirt, but Berg opts for a respectful, first-do-no-harm approach that never delights in these men and women's suffering; he also resists the urge to demonize the two brothers responsible for three deaths and hundreds of injuries on that day in April of 2013.
Berg puts much of the emphasis on his characters' heroism, but ultimately more interesting is their workmanlike efficiency. The ways he blurs fact and fiction are often galvanizing, but at times might leave us wondering why he didn't just make a documentary.

US Foreign Policy
After an uncertain first year, the broad outlines of President Trump's foreign policy and the international issues on his agenda are somewhat clearer. China has come to be seen more as a threat than a partner; North Korea's nuclear program has escalated significantly; troop levels have increased in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria; the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital produced some outrage but little fundamental change in the Middle East; Europe's continued internal political and economic challenges remain unresolved; Russian cyber meddling in US elections continues to roil its relations with the West.
This Spring's busy foreign policy series will focus on these and other critical issues. We begin on February 1 with a lecture on cyber challenges in Asia by Jonathan Reiber, currently a Senior Fellow at Berkeley's Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and formerly Chief Strategy Officer for Cyber Policy in the Office of Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. Max Boot, a UC Berkeley alum and now a Senior Fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations in New York will join us on February 12 to discuss America's involvement in Vietnam and its lessons for current counterinsurgency policy, based on his history of Edward Lansdale, The Road Not Taken. On February 14, we will welcome Michèle Flournoy, former Defense Department Under Secretary for Policy under President Obama, for a conversation about US foreign and defense policy. Former Ambassador to South Korea, Kathleen Stephens will visit Berkeley on March 15 to discuss the prospects for war and peace on the Korean peninsula. We will end the semester with a lecture by the co-host of the USFP series, Professor Daniel Sargent, who on April 25 will offer his analysis of the American world order and its prospects.

Continuing the series of Euro Crime reviewers' favourite reads of 2012 here are Mark Bailey's favourite Euro Crime and/or translated titles:
Of the new releases in 2012 (either in paperback or hardback), I would strongly recommend (in alphabetical order by author as I don't want to choose an order):
Fowler, Christopher – BRYANT & MAY AND THE INVISIBLE CODE (10th novel about Arthur Bryant, John May and the Peculiar Crimes Unit - another strong Bryant & May novel with a very intricate plot with lots of twists and turns; some new characters (some of which are almost fantastical) are introduced to set up for the future which he has got a 2 book deal for starting with BRYANT & MAY AND THE BLEEDING HEART).
James, Peter - NOT DEAD YET (8th Detective Superintendent Roy Grace novel)
Nesbo, Jo – THE BAT tr. Don Bartlett (the 1st Harry Hole novel chronologically – it was nice to see the back plot to the later novels explored in more depth.
Rankin, Ian - STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN'S GRAVE (Rebus is back – I read it in a day and loved it)
Robinson, Peter – BEFORE THE POISON (not a DCI Banks book but it takes the well-used idea of somebody becoming obsessed with solving a decades-old murder and executes it very well)
Other 2012 releases that had good points were:
- McKinty, Adrian - THE COLD COLD GROUND (the 1st Sean Duffy novel set in 1980s Northern Ireland; yes I am biased as I go past most of the places in this novel on my train to work every day but this is an assured police procedural in the main - the next book (I HEAR THE SIRENS IN THE STREET) is just out as I write and if it is just a tad better then that is one of my 2013 best reads sorted)
- Staincliffe, Cath - DEAD TO ME (the 1st Scott and Bailey tie-in novel by Cath Staincliffe; yes this is a tv tie-on but it captures the characters and is compellingly written)
- Tursten, Helene - NIGHT ROUNDS tr. Laura A Wideburg (the 4th Irene Huss novel; this is a good novel but I have seen the first 6 Swedish TV movie adaptions so I spoilt it for myself).
- Wanner, Len - THE CRIME INTERVIEWS VOLUMES ONE AND TWO (These are available most easily for Kindles but if you like tartan noir, they are a good insight into how authors minds work as they have interviews with 19 crime writers between the two volumes)
'Blasts from the past' series reread or read for the first time in 2012 are:
- Crispin, Edmund - the Gervase Fen series (I re-read these in the Summer. They are whodunit novels with complex plots written in a humorous, literary style with references to English literature, poetry, and music; my favourites are THE MOVING TOYSHOP (1946) and FREQUENT HEARSES (1950) – it is a crying shame that Crispin went 25 years between the penultimate and the last novel in the series).
- Burley, W J – the Wycliffe series (I remember the tv series with Jack Shepherd well and recently bought them on DVD but had never read the books; yes they are dated and even the later ones read like those written in the 1970s (they were 22 written from 1968 to 2000) but they are also tightly plotted concisely written books with a great sense of place and a complex main character)
- Edwards, Martin – the Lake District Mystery series (these were a new read for me and as said elsewhere on the website these are very classy page turners with a good sense of history and the area it is set in – the English Lake District)
- Harvey. John – the Charlie Resnick series (I am just over halfway through re-reading this quality police procedural series set in Nottingham in the late 1980s and 1990s in the main – the last one was published a decade later in 2008)
Again, they reflect in the main my liking for police procedurals.

Google Running Feedback Experiment That's Similar To Human Quality Rater Test
Google has long asked searchers to provide feedback on the quality of its search results, and often runs a number of tests aimed at encouraging such feedback. The latest such experiment, which seems to have been live for at least a month or so, is a bit different because it asks searchers for feedback only on certain results.
Eli Schwartz recently shared with us a screenshot after doing a search for [product synonym]. As you can see below, Google is using the open space on the right of the results page to ask "Which result do you prefer?"
What's most interesting is that Google isn't asking for general feedback on the search results page as a whole; it's specifically pulling out two of the results — and not the top two. In this case, Google is specifying the third and fourth links and asking the searcher to "visit both pages before choosing."
That's similar to the "side-by-side" tasks that Google's army of human search quality raters often perform — a type of task that you can learn more about in these articles:
Interview With A Google Search Quality Rater
Google Search Quality Raters Instructions Gain New "Page Quality" Guidelines
In that second article, you'll find a screenshot of a "basic" side-by-side task that also asks the evaluator to view two specific pages and choose the better result.
The Street recently saw this same feedback form, and pointed out that the "Learn more" link at the bottom leads to a Google help page that says user feedback "will not directly influence the ranking of any single page," and refers to how the data is used in conjunction with its "professional search evaluators."
In a typical year, we experiment with tens of thousands of possible changes. These changes, whether minor or major, are tested extensively by professional search evaluators, who look at results and give us feedback, and "live traffic experiments" where we turn on a change for a portion of users. Testing helps us whittle down our list of changes to about 500 improvements per year.
Earlier this summer, Google was running a similar, but less specific, feedback test that asked searchers "How Satisfied Are You With These Results?" That survey asked for feedback on the full search results page.

Tourists from the United States, explore the areas across the world for knowing more, enjoying and exploring new cultures and new things that they want to know about various regions.
But when they are booking their Arctic Tours or are planning for the Antarctica Travel or Arctic Travel they have lot more different things in mind as compared to when they are visiting other usual places.
For better understanding, people usually take help from the travel agents and guides who can provide detailed information about the possible locations and options that include Luxury Arctic Cruises and Luxury Antarctica Cruise and other such activities that are a part of the Polar vacations.
The most unusual attractions a part from the Polar Cruises that includes the cruising experience in the arctic region and the Antarctica Cruise, the other things that are unique and are only attraction for the tourists that have planned to go to the poles are:
The silence at the poles. Despite the fact that people who are going to the Poles from the US may see that there are many tourist who avail this opportunity every year, they can see that the silence there is a thing that is never a part of other tourist spots and that they could only get such a mesmerizing touch at the poles.
The Icy Mountains and the glaciers can only be seen at the poles. Because of the fact, there are other mountains across the world with lots of cold and ice but you may have to climb it up to feel the difference whereas at the poles all the cold and ice is there underneath your feet.
Also, the unique set of animals that have little similarities with the other animals around the world may also attract visitors to see and enjoy how these animals live there.

One of the great things about being a writer is the research. Great for me because I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, from the esoteric to the scientific. I learned about mushrooms (fungi) and the study of them, called mycology, when I researched the subject for one of my earlier stories. I contacted a mycology student in the Pacific Northwest where my story takes place and she happily provided me with her published research papers. A decline in mushrooms would result in a decline in flying squirrels, which would ultimately result in a decline in the already threatened northern spotted owl. Who knew?
From that same story came my love of Procyon lotor, also known as the rascally raccoon. One of these hardy, adaptive animals figured prominently in the story, and every time he was on scene he entertained me. I also learned about other flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest, the dangers of deforestation and the wonders of our ecosystem.
Another story had me delving into the world of road rallies where, not speed is king, but perfect timing to various checkpoints. Normally, you have a driver and a navigator. Some rules will not allow the use of GPS. You're given a road book, and some directional instructions can be as basic as "go 10.56 miles and turn right onto the dirt road." In my story, I added the additional challenge of deciphering a riddle at each check point that, when solved, would reveal an artifact that each entrant would need to collect for extra points. Humor was key here, as some of the items were hilarious, often inappropriate.
When my interest turned to the paranormal, I knew I wanted something a bit different for my witches than what most people associate with that world of magic. In my work-in-progress series Charmed by a Witch, I have witches, both female and male, with differing levels of power, differing specialties and talents. My Internet search led me to all kinds of interesting and weird sites, including many self-proclaimed real witches who take their status very seriously. I learned about covens and spells and tools of the magic realm.
My witch in Charm'd, the first book of the series, makes charm bracelets using crystals and gemstones, then "charms" them with a spell so the wearer may achieve success, fall in love, overcome difficulties, gain better health, etc. Her spells enhance the already-mysterious properties inherent in the stone itself. For instance, a carnelian can aid creativity; coral will bring happiness; garnet, wealth. Most have healing of the physical as well. Are you looking for love while trying to get rid of wrinkles and a few pounds? Wear rose quartz. Are you seeking success in your endeavors while suffering from chronic constipation? Amber is the key.
In my paranormals I can make up a lot of stuff, but I still find myself constantly researching facts to lend authenticity to an imaginary world. The wacky and wild can then somehow make sense. And I can satisfy that thirst.

I have been sampling this wine over the last three nights, and it has got better each time. It's made by Nicola Ferrari (a bloke – in Italy, Nicola isn't a girl's name), who has been for 12 years the winemaker at Quintarelli, a job he took at the tender age of 26. He's now making wine from 3 hectares of his own vineyards, and this Ripasso is just supern. UK agent is Swig (www.swig.co.uk) and the retail price for this wine is £19.50.
Monte Santoccio Valpolicella Ripasso 2009 Veneto, Italy
Wonderfully aromatic, with note of cherries, herbs and spices, as well as some sweet liquer-like notes. The palate is fresh, elegant and a bit grippy with a savoury, spicy quality and some damson/bitter plum notes under the sweet cherry fruit. I love the complex sweet tea leaf and herb characters. Lovely precision her. 94/100

University of Cincinnati researchers are reporting two key findings as they examine neighborhoods where American children live and play - the 1990s were a pretty good decade for minority children, yet African-American, Hispanic and American Indian children "continue to be exposed to dramatically higher rates of neighborhood poverty than their white and Asian counterparts." The research paper, "Children's Exposure to Neighborhood Poverty and Affluence in the Unites States," by co-authors Jeffrey Timberlake, assistant professor of sociology, and Joseph Michael, a doctoral student in the UC Sociology Department, will be presented at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 14, at the 101st annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Montreal, Canada.
Timberlake and Michael used U.S. Census data from 1990-2000 to track changes in the distribution of children from five racial and ethnic groups in five neighborhood poverty types:
Affluent - Poverty rates of less than three percent
Low poverty - Poverty rates of three to ten percent
Moderate poverty - Poverty rates of 10 to 20 percent
High poverty - Poverty rates of 20 to 40 percent
Extreme poverty - Poverty rates greater than 40 percent
The racial groups studied were white, Asian, African-American, American Indian and Hispanic. The data collection focused on all U.S. Census tracts broken down by urban area type: metropolitan, central city, suburban, and non-metropolitan (small towns and rural areas). The research also compared all four Census regions: Northeast, Midwest, South and West.
"We discovered a couple of striking patterns," says Timberlake. "Overall, children's exposure to the poorest neighborhood type declined substantially, from five percent in 1990 to 3.2 percent in 2000. African-American children benefited the most, as families with black children living in the poorest of neighborhoods declined 44 percent, from 18.3 percent in 1990 to 10.3 percent in 2000.
"However, we also found that poor white children, on average, are more likely to live in non-poor neighborhoods than non-poor African American, Hispanic and American Indian children. Almost half of black children and over 40 percent of American Indian and Hispanic children reside in neighborhoods with poverty rates in excess of 20 percent in 2000, compared with only 11 percent of white children and 17 percent of Asian children."
Regionally, the researchers found the South held the largest percentage of high poverty (22.1 percent) and extreme poverty (4.4 percent) neighborhoods of the four Census regions. The authors write that the 1990s appeared to benefit the Midwest the most, as the percentage of low poverty neighborhoods increased about 19 percent and the percentage of extremely poor neighborhoods declined by more than 40 percent, relative to 1990 levels.
Previous research on social influences of impoverished neighborhoods and their effects on children have pointed out how those conditions affect school performance and lead to increased risk of behavioral problems and teen pregnancy. The paper points out that for at least three decades, African-Americans and Hispanics have been both residentially segregated and living in dramatically higher rates of poverty than their white counterparts.
Timberlake concludes that overall, the 1990s were a beneficial decade for children representing the three most disadvantaged racial and ethnic groups. As cities recovered from economic turbulence in the 70s and 80s, he says the economic growth of the 90s may have trickled down to the poorest of neighborhoods, yielding a big impact on the concentration of poverty.
The paper states that neighborhood conditions for children are "dramatically affected by the health of the national, regional, state and local economies," meaning significant and prolonged economic development is the key for improving the financial conditions of neighborhoods in the future.
The study was supported by funding from the University of Cincinnati Charles Phelps Taft Research Center.

Wishing you lots of smiles,

Hi Annie, what a lovely smiley post! The photos of the children are, as ever, a joy to see. The one of Lexie shows that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :) Milly is super cute - we need little buddies in our life. I have my fingers crossed that you get the big table you're hoping for but if that doesn't work then we just have to see a photo of you looking like the pedlar woman. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Ellie xx

I love the toothy grin (or rather the toothless grin), and nice to see a little boy who would rather be outside on a bike than glues to a screen indoors. Very well done to Lexi for her sewing. I bet her mum was thrilled with that. And who wouldn't love little Millie, with her cheeky pose, and little pink tongue. Lots to smile at Annie.
I wish I could pop into your craft fair. i love those sort of occasions. I hope you get your big table. It is frustrating when you can't display your work properly.I hope it is a successful day for you.
Hugs. Kate x

Big Changes for BCBS of IL
Unique ID: 66dd42db-6d8e-4d8a-8b4a-47491f97b483
Big changes have arrived for Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) of Illinois individual and group health plans. As expected, this is causing stress among some consumers. The state's largest health insurer eliminated its most popular individual plan, called Blue PPO, which has the largest network of doctors and hospitals of any plan the company offers, because it was too costly for the company. The plan is still be available for employer groups only this year.
173,000 members, who are currently enrolled in the Blue PPO, will have to find a new plan. It's a significant upheaval in the Illinois individual market. Two out of every five Blue Cross customers who buy individual or family plans on the exchange or direct from the company are covered by the broad PPO. It's popular despite being the most expensive single-state plan Blue Cross offered in 2015.
Blue Cross said the broad, open access plan was no longer sustainable at current premiums because the medical costs were too high. They noted that if the costs of one plan are high, it raises the premiums for all of the company's individual plans.
The decision to get rid of the broad PPO underscores the intense pressure insurers face to keep premiums low in the individual market. Networks that limit the number of providers help carriers reduce costs.
Last year, Blue Cross said it will automatically switch members enrolled in the broad PPO to the Blue Choice plan. The company said Blue Choice is similar to the broad PPO. The company even refers to Blue Choice as a PPO. But there is one big difference. The broad PPO included every hospital in Illinois — all 209. Blue Choice's network had 78 hospitals this year.
Blue Choice didn't include some prominent Chicago-area hospitals, like Northwestern Memorial, University of Chicago Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, the Advocate Health Care system and the North Shore University HealthSystem.
Carriers can also reduce costs by changing their prescription drug benefits. Blue Cross announced on its website last October that it will be moving its individual plans to a so-called preferred pharmacy network. Policyholders in the Chicago area will have to fill prescriptions at Walgreens or Jewel Osco to get the lowest copays and co-insurance. Pharmacies are often chosen to be in preferred networks because they give health plans larger discounts than other drugstores. The process by which individuals receive prescriptions is also changing to a "step" process where people will be required to use less expensive drugs when first beginning to be treated.
If you have additional questions on how this will continue impacting you throughout the year, chat with an Assurance 'A' Team member.

Gore Launches New Rugged, Low-Weight Tethered Drone Cables for Commercial & Military Applications at 2018 AUSA
LANDENBURG, Pa (October 4, 2018) — W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) is pleased to offer a new, game-changing cable option for tethered drones used in the military and commercial applications. GORE® Tethered Drone Cables strike a balance by combining power and fiber optic cables with durable, lighter weight materials in a hybrid solution that provides significant benefits. These high-performance cables maximize Tether Management System (TMS) availability, provide more design options and payload, and enable greater drone operational capability.
Do Not Let Your Tether Hold You Down!
GORE Tethered Drone cables have a unique design that significantly reduces size and weight without sacrificing mechanical durability and electrical performance. They have a dielectric that is 20 percent smaller than standard nylon cables, which means they take up less space inside the TMS system. Gore's cables are also proven to provide greater weight stability in harsh fluids compared to standard nylon cables, further increasing design/payload options and operating height.
Better Protection For Longer Life
Gore's rugged tethered drone cables deliver non-stop power, secure signals, and continuous data transmission over the drone's lifetime. These cables are engineered with high-strength and weather-proof materials that withstand crushing, abrasion, repeated reeling, extreme temperatures, humidity, rain, snow, and tough terrain.
The single-mode fiber optic cable meets ARINC 802-2 requirements and is proven to provide a high level of crush resistance with low insertion loss ensuring a secure data link from the drone to the ground support equipment (GSE). In addition, Gore's patent-pending fiber braid cable jacket is low friction and resists abrasion induced during operation or by the TMS. This low-friction jacket also makes it easier to handle Gore's tethered drone cables compared to standard nylon cables.
Typical applications include video streaming; news and events; commercial photography; search and rescue; industrial and land inspections; telecommunications; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR); electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) sensors; and signals intelligence.
Proven Track Record
For decades, Gore's products have been used successfully in many aerospace and defense applications — from the first moon landing to today's International Space Station, commercial airliners, fighter jets, combat vehicles, and naval platforms. Gore has been a trusted partner to the aerospace industry and many branches of the military, delivering cables and materials with an optimal blend of durability, reliability, and flexibility.
GORE Tethered Drone Cables, along with Gore's collection of high-performance cables, materials and fabrics will be on display at the AUSA (Association of US Army Meeting & Exposition) in Washington, DC on October 8-10, Booth 3115. Additional details can be found at gore.com/ausa2018.

No use fighting it. Colorful floral prints are in.
Most shop windows are blooming with florals weather it be large brightly colored prints, embroidery or patches. But flower prints are not that easy to wear, there is a huge possibility that the nice dress would look "granny-ish" once worn. That being said, I do not have florals in my closet. I do have floral inspired earrings though.
When you tell me floral, this is all I have. (unless you count chinoiserie toile as floral then, I have two florals) I tend to go safe when it comes to following the trend. -unless I really really dig the current trend.
But when I saw this picture. I know I need to get one. Hello to huge bright floral prints!
Quickly ordered one online and discovered that I lack the height. So, I will be taking the dress to the alteration shop to get it shortened to (my) knee length.
Because I have started with one floral dress, its going to have more for company. I got another floral dress, shorter this time and in a more tropical vibe.
I have also been contemplating on getting more floral pieces. Might as well join in the fray.
*I get to watch the first episode of Game of Thrones season 7 later! yey! -Will be posting about the new additions to my Funko Pop collection soon.

KidsPoint is all about creating engaging, fun, and safe environments that will lead kids into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. But we don't want it to end there. We want to partner with parents so kids are growing in their relationship with Jesus at home too. We've designed multiple, age-appropriate environments where this can happen.
The Nest is our weekly environment designed especially for infants and toddlers. Qualified and committed volunteers love on, pray and care for The Nest kids. You'll be greeted at a check-in kiosk where we'll help you get your child checked in. They'll also get you settled in the right environment for your child. Our goal is to ensure that your child is cared for and you are able to worship, distraction free.
The Hollow is our weekly environment designed for toddlers and pre-K kids. We believe in an active, hands-on approach to learning so you can plan on a lot of jumping, singing, dancing, and laughter in every experience. It's our hope that your child will learn:
In The Fort, we think the Bible should never be boring, worship can be really loud, and kids learn better in circles than they do in rows. We learn through stories, lessons, games, crafts and activities. We also begin to teach our kids the importance of a small group, that circles are better than rows. Before kids head off to 5th grade, we want to make sure these three things stick
In addition to our regular, weekly programming, we often provide opportunities for the kids to get together outside of our weekend programs in a fun, relaxed environment.
Take a look at the coming soon calendar or the KidsPoint Facebook page to find out what's going on so you and your kids can be involved.

45+ Why am I not being hired?
Is the problem the age or our value?
In the site we've already analyzed the tough situations that people past 40 are facing nowadays. It's still an existential question the reason/s why employers won't consider these workers even if they know the advantages that hiring someone over 45 have. Maybe it has something to do with age itself and the prejudices associated with it, or the expenses that a person with this much experience can bring to the company. If you'd like to know, we invite you to continue reading this article.
I don't get hired because I'm too expensive?
Generally a person is too expensive for a company when they've been in it for a long time and have had raises, due to the years worked or because of promotions. In this specific scenario, what could happen is that the worker gets fired (regardless the fact that it has other costs associated like the severance package and others) to be replaced for a worker that offers the required services for a lower price. There are companies that choose this, even if they end up losing the experience of the fired worker. Even though experience should be paid better, it's the employer who settles the final salary. So from this view, we can say that the value of someone over 45 can only be a problem if the worker is already hired in a company.
It is completely different for someone who is unemployed and job hunting. When a person needs a job, he/she won't be selective when it comes to determine the salary they want, they will most surely take whatever is being offered or otherwise wait until a better offer comes up. Companies usually say how much they are willing to pay for a service and it's up to the worker to take it or not. Unless that the question is asked during the job interview, but a person usually knows what the salary range that the job offers is and they will give the amount in accordance with the prices settled in the actual job market.
This makes us wonder, is the problem the age for someone over 45? Sadly enough, the answer to this is yes. Not because of the age itself, but for the preconceptions already established and even because of the ego some employers –that can be much younger- have:
- Work prejudges for someone older (+45): despite we're always talking about how brilliant workers over 45 can turn out to be, there are still many employers who chose to stick to old myths that refer to age as a problem to work. For example, that older people are extremely slow, that they don't perform as well, that they have many quirks, that they don't fit or adapt easily, etc.
- Egocentric Employers: For some people, there's nothing worse than someone correcting them or being wiser than them making decisions. Some workers with lots of experiences have a better notion about the way things should be done or how decisions should be made than the employers. Many employers feel offended if someone who's supposed to follow all the orders dares to give a better opinion, and for this reason they chose to not give older workers a chance and avoid awkward situations for them. Many times they just say that the worker doesn't meet the expectations of the company.
So, now that you know this, use it in your favor and don't let it get in the way of you fulfilling your professional objectives. You are capable, have plenty of experience and are irreplaceable! You can most definitely show this to the world and your potential employers.

- The Pros and Cons of Artificial Turf
Thinking of artificial turf for your Florida home? Are you trying to figure out the pros and cons of artificial turf before you make the switch? Let Southwest Greens of Florida help you.
There are a few categories we must consider when weighing the pros and cons of artificial turf. To really understand what is going to benefit your needs, you must consider the categories such as aesthetics, costs, water usage, maintenance, durability, and environmental impact.
Pro: Get a green lawn year-round when you install artificial turf. Turf no longer looks like the fake green replica you may be used to seeing, but now comes in more natural color schemes intended to look exactly like natural grass. There are plenty of styles to choose from, each manufactured to fit the tastes you have for your home. You'll never have brown spots or holes, and uneven growth will be a thing of the past.
Con: While methods have changed drastically since the early days of turf manufacturing, it still hasn't been able to replicate the aesthetic feel, smell or dynamic interaction of a natural lawn.
Pro: Over time, the upkeep of synthetic turf is much less expensive saving you a significant amount of money over the years in maintenance costs such as fertilizing, aerating, mowing, watering, and seeding.
Con: The initial cost of installing artificial turf can be high, and will depend entirely on the size of the area being installed and the kind of turf that is being used. Other costs may include the need for repairs, refilling and, finally, disposal fees when the turf has reached its life expectancy (anywhere up to 25 years).
Water Usage
Pro: Synthetic lawns do not require irrigation for growth. In larger areas, drainage systems can be used to harvest water runoff to be collected for reuse, reducing the amount of water used.
Con: Some systems may be required for specific styles of turf for maintenance and cleaning, and for any cooling systems to work effectively. Unfortunately, turf does not filter water in the same was a natural lawn would.
Pro: Synthetic grass is promoted as require little maintenance to maintain a great looking lawn for its long life. No mowing or fertilizer is required.
Con: Even though it does not have the same requirements as a natural lawn, there may be an extensive maintenance protocol if the lawn is used regularly such as in a field where sports are played. Maintenance will be critical if the surface is to reach its maximum lifespan. Maintenance may include cleaning of debris or moss and algae, disinfection or stain removal, and, although not common, weed removal.
Pro: You can depend on your artificial lawn to be tough and withstand more wear and tear than a natural grass lawn would. You won't have to experience bare, bladefree spots, and turf touts higher playability. Turf can be installed in places scarce with fields, and can be played on in any season. Turf will also drain faster, meaning play can happen sooner after rainfall. It may also be safer to play on turf since it's unlikely to be torn up by rough play, turn into patches of slippery mud, or risk uneven playing surfaces where ankles can be twisted, meaning fewer injuries.
Con: When it comes to durability, there are hardly any cons when it comes to turf. Using synthetic grass will yield higher usage and lifespan than natural grass.
Environmental Impact Pro: Artificial turf requires little to no water, no mowing, no pesticides and uses recycled material.
Con: Some of the materials used and emissions released during manufacturing may have a higher carbonfootprint. There is no organic biodiversity linked with artificial turf, and breakdown of turf after it has been disposed of will affect its environmental impact.
Artificial turf can be installed in home putting greens, on rooftop gardens that cannot support the weight of traditional lawns, in areas that do not have the conditions to grow real grass, easily cleanable areas for small pets, and anywhere you may want to reduce your carbon footprint.
There are many pros and cons of artificial turf to consider when deciding to choose artificial turf or a natural lawn. Synthetic grass could be the right option for your home. The pros and cons of artificial turf should be thought through. If you need any help, Southwest Greens is always here to answer your questions.
