The Seed
What we commonly refer to as a sunflower seed, the black-and-white hard-shelled item we often snack on, is referred to as the achene (fruit). The fruit wall is the shell, and the softer inner piece is the real seed.
The seed contains more nutrients than its small size might indicate. From fiber and protein, to unsaturated fats, zinc, iron and Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex, all can be found in the unassuming sunflower seed.
To start your seed on its path to full-grown sunflower, the seed needs to be planted in a sunny spot where it will receive full sun all day. It will tolerate many types of soil conditions, but it will not do well in shade or even partial shade. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Once it begins to grow, dry conditions will cause it to wither and die.
The Sprout
Once the growing conditions have been met and maintained, the seed will germinate and begin to grow into its next stage, the sprout. This stage is short as it quickly matures into a seedling.
Note: Many people soak their sunflower seeds in water just until they sprout. This in itself is an edible food known as "sprouts." Similar to alfalfa sprouts, they are eaten as is, or added to salads, sandwiches and meat dishes. Referred to as a living food, the sunflower sprouts are highly nutritious and have fewer calories than the seeds themselves, but more of the vitamins and supplements of the dry seed.
The Seedling
The seedling has a long way to go to be recognized as a sunflower. Started in a full sun location, it will need to be watched carefully so it does not dry out. This may require daily watering, if there is no rain. As it reaches the young sunflower stage, its stem will become sturdier and thicker. At that point, watering can decrease to every other day or so.
The Young Sunflower
Once the plant reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet, it starts to be recognized as a sunflower. It reaches for the sky growing ever taller, while at the top of the stem the bud starts to form. Unless the area is experiencing a drought, at this stage the sunflower can rely on regular rainfalls to get its needed moisture. If you were to watch sunflowers during this bud stage, you would see the flowers follow the sun. They start the day facing the east as the sun rises. In a process known as heliotropism, the developing bud will follow the sun from east to west. By morning, it is again facing east, awaiting the sunrise.
The Adult Sunflower
Once the plant begins to bloom, it has reached its adult stage. The bright yellow top of the common sunflower is not a flower, but a head. It is made up of many flowers tightly packed together. The flowers that make up the head are divided into two groups. The outer flowers are called ray florets, while the inner flowers of the circular center are known as disc (disk) florets. These disc florets will mature into what we commonly call the sunflower seed. This part, however, is the fruit and the true seed is found inside.
At this adult stage, the blooming sunflower does not follow the sun's path. The stem will have stiffened and the majority of sunflowers will face east, each day awaiting the sunrise. Once the seeds fully develop, they must be harvested or protected quickly from the birds that will swoop in to remove and eat all the seeds.
All the parts of a sunflower have a further use. The leaves and stems are used as animal fodder. The yellow flowers are used to make dye, while the seeds can be compressed for their oil, which is comparative to olive or almond oil. The oil sees further uses as a lubricant, and in soaps and paints. The seeds, as we all know, make a great snack.

How do you get some things to show up on screen when one an event occurs and another thing to show up if something else occurs? I have not put all the logic in place for the following code because I can't get this first one to compile with just one if statement. All the classes that return the data to this screen work fine now (thanks to everyone!). And, I continue to learn lots from this forum (thanks even more for that). I have a class that connects to a DB. Next, I have a class that queries the DB for the info I am looking for. That returns a vector object which is instantiated in another class which creates a panel with a combo box in the panel (the combo box's data comes from the query class). Now I want to have this final class display that panel, (the PatientAdd panel) if the "Add Patient" button is pressed.
The way that I tried to do that was to create my action listener and then put some flow control in that listener. If Add Patient is pressed, then the panel is created and placed on the frame. If some other button is pressed, then some other panel will show up and so on. How do I go about doing this? Right now I am told that I can not use a non-static method (add) in a static context. How does one go about making screens dynamically present other screens on the same frame and am I even close in what I have tried to do here?
Thanks so much.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class WorkScreen extends JFrame{ public static void main (String [] args) { new WorkScreen(); } private JButton addPatient; private JButton addEquipment; private JButton lookUpFacil; public WorkScreen(){ this.setSize(800, 500); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); addPatient= new JButton("Add Patient"); addEquipment= new JButton("Add Equipment"); lookUpFacil= new JButton("Find Facility"); ButtonListener bl = new ButtonListener(); addPatient.addActionListener(bl); addEquipment.addActionListener(bl); lookUpFacil.addActionListener(bl); JPanel menuPanel = new JPanel(); menuPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(menuPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS)); menuPanel.add(lookUpFacil); menuPanel.add(addPatient); menuPanel.add(addEquipment); this.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.WEST, menuPanel); this.setVisible(true); }//close constructor private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener { //where I am trying to get the other panel to show up if //button is pressed! public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { if(e.getSource() == addPatient){ //PatientAdd is the class which has the //panel object which instantiates //another object which returns //a query and vector PatientAdd tpa = new PatientAdd(); //I want to add this panel to the screen //if the button is pressed... WorkScreen.add(tpa); WorkScreen.setVisible(true); //can't do this, what do I do? }//close if }//close method }//close inner }//close class

"WorkScreen.add()" is trying to call the add() method as if it were a static method -- which it's not, of course. All the methods of the enclosing class are available in an inner class, so you can actually just say (for example) "add()" instead of "WorkScreen.add()"!
Sometimes, there may be an ambiguity between an inner class method and an enclosing class method. The way to deal with this is to say "WorkSpace.this.add()" -- which refers directly to the enclosing object.
There's one more piece of magic voodoo you need: when you make a change to the layout of a container that's actually visible on screen, as here, you need to call validate() on the container which tells the LayoutManager to fix things up.

What you need is an instance of WorkScreen's contentPane or main panel of sorts. Then you need to add your PatientAdd panel (assuming PatientAdd extends JPanel) to that panel. Sooo, something like...
JPanel mainPanel; public WorkScreen(){ ... mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout()); setContentPane(mainPanel); ... mainPanel.add(menuPanel, BorderLayout.WEST); ... } ... if (e.getSource() == addPatient){ ... PatientAdd pa = new PatientAdd(); mainPanel.add(pa, BorderLayout.CENTER); ... } ...
FYI - PatientAdd would be better named something like PatientPanel. Makes more sense when you are looking at your code 6 months from now wondering what the hell you were doing 6 months ago.

Maintaining zeal Godward
Such issues came to mind as I read J.I. Packer's little book, Finishing Our Course With Joy, which is a book about getting older. Packer intends this book for older people, 75 and older. His encouragement is that older people should shun the worldly notion that aging and retirement is a time of inactivity. He suggests that being older is a time to stay active, to keep running the race set before us. He points out that seniors have things that younger people don't always have: opportunity, maturity, humility, and intensity. And by intensity, he means focus and concentration insofar as one is physically able. Packer, himself, at the age of 88 is still very sharp.
Packer encourages the older crowd to embrace zeal. He admits that the word isn't popular any more, but zeal is something Christians ought to live with. Packer gives his rationale for this:
Zeal for his kingdom is a character quality of God himself, as he has revealed himself (Isa. 9:7). So zeal for God's cause, his kingdom, and his glory, all of which the temple symbolized, is one element of the image of God in his incarnate Son -- the image in which, so we are told, Christians are to be renewed, and actually are being renewed, by the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:20-24; Col. 3:10). Nowhere does Scripture suggest that this divine renewing process is programmed to go on hold as we age, however true it is that we can clog it up at any point with our own follies and wrong attitudes.
Maintaining zeal Godward as our bodies wear out is the special discipline to which we aging Christians are called.Living zeal
I am fortunate in that I know quite a few older women who are maintaining zeal Godward. There is a group of older woman at my church who gather twice a month to sew, making clothing for mission projects, or items for the crisis pregnancy centre. My mother-in-law, who is over 70, is still involved every summer with the youth day camps, as well as working with the women's ministry committee. Another woman, also about to move into her 70's, regularly serves in musical ministry as well as helping her husband with his ministry to the Caribbean farm workers who come here every year. Another senior woman organizes a dinner four times a year for singles who may not otherwise have someone to share a meal with on a Sunday. Singles of all ages attend, but most of them are older. Every month, the seniors have a gathering where they share fellowship for the morning followed by a meal. These people are not slowing down. They are zealous for God. These seniors encourage each other to press on. But I don't think they are the only ones who should be doing the encouraging.
Encourage zeal
Those of us who are younger also need to encourage the older people in our congregations. We need to build relationships with them beyond a handshake on a Sunday morning. We need to include them in areas of service where they can add their wisdom to the mix. We shouldn't always go to the young and eager teacher to lead that class or fill that need. We need to extend the invitation to the older generation as well. Perhaps they think they are expected to be inactive. Perhaps we should encourage them not to think that. It may be that all they need is to be asked to contribute. Older people have the benefit of life experience to go along with their theory. We talk a lot about the diversity in the church as it relates to race and gender; diversity should include older people, too. And insofar as they can be active, I think we should encourage them as much as we can.

President's Installation 2015
Peter Tasker starts his Presidential Year with a spledid evening at King's Lynn Town Hall
This was a memorable evening for several reasons. The setting of the Town Hall is always special and the young musicians added atmosphere to the pre-dinner drinks and Martin Hinchcliffe a Close Up Magician completely amazed us all. Peter, in his speech paid tribute to John Harrison's excellent year and set out his ideas for the coming year, for which his theme is "Time, talents, and giving for the benefit of others". He also probably broke a record with the induction of a new member - Robert Jones - within 5 minutes of taking office! The Priory choir performed their now traditional tribute to the outgoing president to the tune of Amazing Grace. The extraordinary number of verses showed just how much has gone on in the last year.
A further highlight was Margaret Tasker's "ditty" in the style of Pam Ayres:
I quite fancy having a title, would it impact on everyday life?
something a bit mor exciting that the boys' mum or the doctor's wife!
If hubby had got himself knighted, Lady Tasker would give me more fame
The Rt Hon would sound pretty good though I'd settle just simply for Dame
But at last our status has risen-dizzy heights before us appear
If Peter's become your new President, I'm First Lady for the whole of his year.

KARAH – Faux Fur Hat – Ted Baker
White Oversized Shirt – Miss Selfridge
Long Line Leather Look Biker Jacket – BANK – Ribbon
Harems – Eu Nao Sei (literally have no idea!)
Clare Lace Up Boots – BANK – Blonde & Blonde
Aztec Embossed Weave Satchel – ASOS
So a few days ago I received a much awaited parcel from BANK in the mail and and due to my impulsive nature and lack of patience I all but ripped it open to reveal the faux leather jacket and the amazing heeled boots I'm wearing in the pictures above.
The faux leather biker jacket is from one of BANK's in-house brands; Ribbon and I honestly do wish I had gotten it a lot sooner! It's length is longer than the norm for most leather jackets so it ends just above mid-thigh for me, a factor that had increased my adoration for it. The outer material of the jacket is smooth to touch and quite soft whereas the inner material is more so sleek and even softer! The jacket doesn't showcase a skin tight silhouette when zipped up but that's because it allows one to wear layers with it if they so wished to without making the person look like they're bursting at the seams. It's been quite a chilly week and this jacket has definitely helped to protect me from the cold front so overall I think it would be a great investment to ones autumn/winter wardrobe! Also have I mentioned it looks great? (My mother wants one too now!)
Now for the boots, eurgh I love, love, love these shoes so much already. I've never been one to wear boots and if I were to purchase some they'd always be wedge boots or a sort with a really high heel. This was not the case for these ones. Originally I had wanted a really high pair of wedged sneaker like shoes from BANK but they weren't in stock and I settled for the ones I now have. I am honestly so glad the others weren't in stock! These boots are not only incredibly comfortable but they also look amazing with everything I own! Seriously speaking I could pair these with a maxi dress and add some dark coloured accessories/makeup and it would work (I have tried this, you have my word.)
I got the Clare Lace Up Boots – complements of another of BANK's in-house brands; Blonde&Blonde, in a size up (so a size 6) because I aimed to wear really furry socks with them (and also because I saw that size 5 was out of stock on the website – I'm sneaky I know!) They legit fit like a charm, ever so slightly bigger than usual because of the increased sizing but when I wear them with socks I can hardly even tell. The block heel on the boots has won over my heart from all other past heels and I've worn these boots every day since I've gotten them! THAT should be saying a lot about their quality, comfort and endurance!
They keep your feet warm all whilst looking stylishly ultra retro grunge… Why haven't you got your own pair yet?
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

As I sat waiting for the sun to peek over the trees, the day held nothing but promise. The world is still gray, just shadows of what is to come, but the promise of color rests just beyond the tree-line. Colors will pop up that are so vibrant our eyes will open to possibilities we hardly dare believe in. Everything is possible to believe in just as I believe that any moment the sun will appear just as it does every day. This day is ripe with promise and kissed with joy.
This is the description of the life lived in the Son. It is life with the potential to be the greatest, brightest, most beautiful life imaginable. This delirious, delicious life isn't available just in our imagination, but is a promise from God. Psalm 37 says: "Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart" (Verse 4) And in Psalm 27 God tells us to hold on to Him as we wait for the day of promise to dawn: "I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." (Verse 13) Jesus is our abundance, the over-the-top blessing from our Father. 1 Timothy 1:14 proclaims: "And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Jesus Christ." It is hard to wrap our minds around the magnitude of blessing God has for us who believe in Him as Lord of our lives.
As the Holy Spirit calls us out of the world, we begin to anticipate the Son, just as I am anticipating the arrival of the sun this morning. I can't yet see the glow of the sun, but the color change in the sky promises the sun won't be far behind. So, it is as we get our first glimpse of the Son who calls us back to a relationship with our Father. We don't yet know how our world will be changed, but we can see light beginning to erase the dark and our anticipation builds within us.
The red-yellow glow of the sun has begun to crest the trees now. The blue of the sky is becoming visible and the warmth of the sun begins to be felt as the chill of the night is chased away. As Jesus becomes real to us, we begin to feel the warmth of His love penetrating our cold, night-weary flesh, and a thawing begins in our hearts. The night has ended and the promised new day has begun. As the sun allows us to see the real, not just shadows, Jesus opens our eyes to the invisible that then becomes real. The darkness of life fades as His Light shines into all the corners. The hidden things are exposed so He can heal them, taking them into the light of His love. Forever removing their shadow from our lives.
If you haven't yet had the Son light up your life, I invite you to sit one morning before the dawn, and watch for the sun to arrive. As you do, begin asking the Son, Jesus, to come too. Ask Him to light up your life by removing the darkness that has so burdened you. You will never see the 'son-rise' the same way again, I promise.

I've had to do a fair bit of thinking about trust over the past couple of weeks. It's an issue that constantly raises its head quite a few times, but one that I have not really grappled with, or only in passing. It's obviously something incredibly important to successful relationships, working and social.
I like Dave Snowden's view that trust is an emergent property of relationships – it develops through the actions and behaviours we observe of each other. It is also an expectation that one can believe that another will be competent or hold their end of the bargain, etc. So as an expectation it has a future dimension, and as an emergent property it has a historical dimension.
But how do we build trust? What are its elements? Trust is like building a house, or more precisely, an A-frame house. In the interests of alliteration (it's easier sometimes to remember things that way), and along with a fellow co-designer (Ann whose name just happens to start with "A" as well!), we came up with the five items that make up the A-frame of Trust.
Adventure – trust requires someone to be vulnerable in some way, of being open to something that might affect them and of the possibility of being hurt or embarrassed.
Agreement – trust requires an agreement between two or more people. Trust can be lost when that agreement is broken.
Authenticity – trust develops when people act with integrity, are true to their word, and are authentic in their dealings.
Accountability – trust further develops when people understand that they will be held to account for their actions or inactions.
Apology – in order to restore trust, there needs to be understanding that trust has been broken, that there could either be fault or at a minimum a serious difference of perspective, that a conflict has arisen which is best overcome through an apology.
The arrangement of the five items in the A-Frame is intended. Apology is the bridging device, Adventure and Accountability are the key supports, and agreement and authenticity help balance each other.
Thanks for Shawn at Anecdote for his interesting note on Trust which served as some inspiration.

A man, Eric Aniva, is paid to have sex with girls in remote southern regions of Malawi as a form of "ritual cleansing", the BBC has reported.
It forms part of tradition in remote southern villages of Malawi for girls to be made to sleep with a paid sex worker known as "hyena" once they reach puberty to mark their transition to womanhood.
It is believed that if the girls do not undertake the ritual, a disease or some fatal misfortune could befall them, their families or the village.
Once the girls experience their first menstruation, their parents pay Aniva from $4 to $7 and he sleeps with them over a period of three days as part of the "ritual cleansing".

Aniva who is in his 40s, according to the report, said he had slept with over 100 girls.
"Most of those I have slept with are girls, school-going girls.
"Some girls are just 12 or 13 years old, but I prefer them older. All these girls find pleasure in having me as their hyena. They actually are proud and tell other people that this man is a real man, he knows how to please a woman," he was quoted as saying.
READ ALSO: Amazing! Watch how an old woman "disciplined" a young man in table tennis (video)
But many girls were reportedly not happy to have gone through the ordeal.
One girl said she did it out of fear that her family members could be afflicted with diseases if she refused.
"We are forced to sleep with the hyenas. It's not out of our choice and that I think is so sad for us as women," a woman who experienced "cleansing" as a teenager said.

When Aniva was asked if he would allow his two-year-old daughter to undergo "cleansing" when she was of age, he said:
"Not my daughter. I cannot allow this. Now I am fighting for the end of this malpractice."

Kate Ryan is working with a swedish producer on new material who will be ready next year and will be fill with songs written by her but also and few covers, Kate said in a interview about the last material: "French Connection" is the end of an era". The album "French connection" was awarded in Spain with a Multi-Platinum for selling more than 300.000 digital songs, right now Kate is on tour in Canada.
Ace Of Base Jenny Berggren ( lead singer ) announced on her Facebook account why was left outside from this project :
" I have not been contacted about AOB until some days ago and since I am still a member and important deals aorund the band (who doesn't involve me) are not settled yet, I am confused. Twitter and Facebook has been my voice. My wish was to stay in the band to make music in the future. Someone told me fans think I quit and left the boys alone, but the story is not at all this.
"To say that I didn't agree to a fourth member is wrong. I even gave names if I would have gotten a green light of the things I needed. For instence some control over the issues regarding the band. Once I was told not to meet up with a manager that would work with us 'because I didn't have the full picture of what we had been sold in as'." said Jenny

Welcome to the Cedar Falls Authors Festival Website
Did you know that Cedar Falls has produced five nationally-known and best-selling writers—more nationally-known
authors than any other town in Iowa? Four of them taught at the University of Northern Iowa and several were students there as well.
Three were born here.
June 2018 -- The Final Program of the CFAF is in the books!
The Ruth Suckow Memorial Association (RSMA) returned to the Cedar Falls Public Library for our Annual Meeting. Then, at 1 pm we welcomed the public to a brief address by Kenneth Lyftogt. Ken did the first program of 2018 back in January, and it is fitting that he presented the final program in our Cedar Falls Authors Festival series.
Saturday, June 9, 1 p.m., Cedar Falls Public Library (Second Floor Meeting Room), "Going to the Woods: Ruth Suckow and the Early 20th Century Midwest," Kenneth Lyftogt
Wrapping up the Cedar Falls Authors Festival: A few Reflections
Shortly after I retired from Hawkeye Community College, Barbara Lounsberry invited me to join a committee exploring ways to honor five best-selling authors with Cedar Falls ties: Bess Streeter Aldrich, Ruth Suckow, James Hearst, Nancy Price, and Robert James Waller. Other committee members included: Rosemary Beach, Jan Andersen, Kim Manning, Mary Taylor, Mary Brammer, and Scott Cawelti. Together, we created the Cedar Falls Authors Festival.
We began planning in the fall of 2016. We applied for a grant from the Cedar Falls Community Foundation (The Saul and Joan Diamond Community Enhancement Grant) and received $5,000 for our budget. We enlisted the help of a number of organizations around the community: The Cedar Falls Public Library, the Cedar Falls Tourism & Visitors Bureau, The Hearst Center for the Arts, The Rod Library, The Cedar Falls Historical Society, The Western Home Communities, and many others. Since we had a small budget, we used our brochures, the Gary Kelley posters, and media partners to promote our events, as well as our website and Facebook.
Early on, I discovered a wonderful website created by the students of Dr. Tom Connors at UNI in 2012: https://sites.google.com/site/historicalcedarfalls/. The literature page mentioned all five of our authors and was a wonderful resource. I created our website, www.cfauthorsfestival.org: the only expense was buying the domain name.
Programs began in May 2017 and go through June 9, when we wrap with the Ruth Suckow Memorial Association's Annual Meeting, and a presentation by Ken Lyftogt, open to the public. We spent a month focusing on each of the five authors, had an August birthday party readathon, invited local authors to participate in a book fair, and launched the second part of our festival in January —celebrating local authors, many of them writing about history or history-based fiction.
We had a finale at the Hearst Center several weeks ago to thank participants, partnering organizations, our steering committee and the larger collaborative committee. Here are a few highlights from the program.
As we wind down, we feel a sense of accomplishment. We showcased our five best-selling, nationally known authors and created a greater awareness of Cedar Falls' historic, literary legacy. We gave an opportunity for local writers to give presentations, serve on panels, participate in a book fair, and attend a free workshop on blogging. We packed the house at many events.
What are my takeaways from this project?
Cedar Falls is an extraordinary community that cares about literature and literacy, values its public library and museums, and shows up for events.
Our partners were wonderful: we could not have succeeded without their participation. The Cedar Falls Public Library, Hearst Center for the Arts, and the Rod Library hosted most of our programs, and staff members were helpful.
Most of the committee members were retired; however, two were hard-working women with a day job. A big thanks to Mary Taylor of Western Home Communities and Kim Manning of the Cedar Falls Tourism and Visitors Bureau.
Creating Facebook events proved useful: when my husband began using his iPhone to do Facebook Live at events, it was a wonderful experiment. Presenters with relatives in other towns got feedback: "I watched your event!"
Thanks, Cedar Falls! I cannot imagine a better way to start retirement than getting involved with the Cedar Falls Authors Festival: and thank you to our co-chairs, Rosemary Beach and Barbara Lounsberry.
The success of the Cedar Falls Authors Festival has surpassed our fondest hopes. We have broad community and university support, our financial partners, media partners and many interested guests to thank for those successes.
We've reintroduced our five nationally-recognized authors, provided forums for new or less well-known authors to share their expertise on many interesting topics and helped create renewed interest in local and Iowa history.
We're sure the festival events would have particularly pleased librarian Joan Diamond, who devoted her life to books. (Funding for events came from The Saul and Joan Diamond Community Enhancement Grant)
By the numbers:
· More than 60 events were held from May 2017 to May 2018
· More than 3,200 guests attended
· Nearly 40 speakers presented
· A dozen festival presentations were made to clubs and service groups
· A dozen permanent projects have created a lasting legacy
A Permanent Legacy
Gary Kelley's original artwork for the festival's poster was given to Cedar Falls Public Library for permanent display.
"Amongst" by UNI student-sculptor Hanna Seggerman honoring Ruth Suckow and Ferner Nuhn is on temporary display in the Hearst Sculpture Garden.
A commemorative plaque in Seerley Park honors Nancy Price and other writers who lived and wrote there.
Screening "Sleeping with the Enemy" in Seerley Park prompted the upgrade of its electrical capacity, allowing for new events to be hosted there.
Additional illustrations by Nancy Price have been added to the Hearst Center's permanent collection.
"Red Geraniums" features new James Hearst poems discovered and published by Jim O'Loughlin.
A commemorative reissue of North American Review magazine from 1974 features James Hearst.
An updated Bess Streeter Aldrich driving tour featuring sites important to her life and work was produced.
The plaque honoring Bess Streeter Aldrich in her namesake park in North Cedar has been refurbished and reset.
A Cedar Falls authors directory will be created and preserved on the CFAF website, as well as the Cedar Falls Public Library website.
Cedar Falls Cable Television Channel 15 has an archive of interviews and footage of festival events.
The Cedar Falls Authors Festival website, www.cfauthorsfestival.org, will remain active and continue to be vital source of information on our local authors.

Do we actually have SEVEN famous authors?
Gary Kelley's Art work Commemorates the Cedar Falls Authors Festival
Local artist Gary Kelley designed a piece of art featuring quotes from our five authors. The poster was used to promote the Festival, and signed copies were available for sale at our events.
Festival Purpose:
1. To inspire young and old through the knowledge that Cedar Falls has produced writers from pioneer times to now.
2. To convey that writing is a valuable and rewarding form of expression that members of the Cedar Falls community regularly engage in—like breathing.
3. To enhance civic pride and our sense of community identity by recognizing that Cedar Falls can boast of five nationally known, best-selling writers—more than any other town in Iowa.
4. To celebrate all of our Cedar Falls authors, past and present, by creating a Directory of Cedar Falls Authors.
Are you a Cedar Falls author?
We define a "Cedar Falls Author" as a person either born in Cedar Falls or who has spent a substantial amount of time living and writing in the city.
We are gathering information to create a Directory of Cedar Falls Authors, which will be posted on the Cedar Falls Library website, as well as here.
Please complete our authors' survey to become part of the Directory of Cedar Falls Authors--or to share the name of a Cedar Falls author (living or dead).

Warringah is the electorate home to Tony Abbott and this 2016 election has seen it become pretty much a basket case.
The new labour candidate Andrew Woodward is a millionaire calling for crowd funding to take on Tony Abbott. He deleted all of my twitter posts on his account asking why his party is protecting Abbott yet he is gunning for him. I mentioned TWATTS Timmy Watts article in The Age where I was basically called a birther. You cant have it both ways Andy, either protect Abbott or sink him. Your party chose protect him because Gary Gray and Tony Ripoli were also dual nationals. Curiously they chickened out of the election once they saw the social media campaign to put all dual nationals who don't show they comply with the constitution into the High Court of Disputed Returns. A newspaper story about Andy.
Another candidate Marie Rowland is a dual national, she assured me she would show her renunciation papers but her party boss Nick Xenophon silenced her. A mate of his from South Australia Senator Bob Day is also born in England and has refused to show his renunciation papers. Maybe Bobby is a dual national too?
David Barrow was born in Australia and is famous for winning against Andrew Bolt. David is running to promote gay marriage. His blog is interesting reading and brings up a bit of a problem. He applied for British citizenship because his dad was Welsh and that might have wiped out his Australian citizenship. So he is running for Warringah as a pom, cant even do the dual national thing just a straight out pom. His calling himself the andrewbolyparty may also be in contravention of the Australian Electoral Commission code of nice way to do things.
And then Jimmy from telly, James Mathison from Australian Idol is running to throw out Tony Abbott. He is running to get the youth vote and using social media to garner support. His campaign will be a social media one he proclaims. Few problems, firstly he is 38 and not really the right age to chase the youth vote, the youth think he is part of the problem. Secondly his proclamation of being social media savvy and using social media doesn't really stand up. What is his farcebook address? I couldn't find it. And then he knows nothing of the major social media sites chasing Abbott for the last 3 years or so. Biggest is the facebook pages, 350,000 people registered, one of them https://www.facebook.com/Tony-Abbott-Worst-PM-in-Australian-History-151576228341304/?fref=ts has 204,000 likes and in a good week has a million hits. The Change page, the one set up during the social media campaign to get signatures for a petition to parliament to get Abbott to show he has renounced his British citizenship, that got 32,000 signatures https://www.facebook.com/changesysau/?fref=ts and was totally ignored by politicians. The petition was given to Bill Shorten, Tanya Plibersek and Adam Bandt and promptly ignored. The duplicity of politicians no longer shocks me.
The other bit of social media Jimmy from telly has ignored is this little blog. On a good day up to 600,000 tweets and retweets would shock the twitterverse and get the message out that social media is a lot pissed off about criminals in parliament. Signing a false declaration for the AEC is fraud and a criminal act.
So Warringah is currently held by a criminal fraud who ignores our constitution, Labour have put up a millionaire candidate looking to get crowd funding to throw out Abbott who is also protected by the labour party. The Xenophon party is putting up a dual national to run against another dual national, an independent has gone the full monty and running as a pommie. And then social media star Jimmy from telly who hasn't bothered to look at, let alone contact, the pages supporting hundreds of thousands of pissed off voters who want Abbott out of parliament and probably in jail.
Basket weaving will become a national sport after the basket case of Warringah is sorted.
The bit down the bottom that paid for the printing,the photocopying,the envelopes and stamps and phone calls. The trips to Brisbane and caffeine top ups from 5am until home time. The trips to Brisbane are a 6 hour round trip public transport adventure. AND the birth certificates, National Archives files, searches in the UK etc etc etc Thanks to everyone who has clicked on this in the last year or so.
For those of you who do go to the High court with your foreign born MP have fun, this is all about fun and the law. I can't take names of people wanting to do this, maybe in the comments below or on the farcebook pages about your electorate or candidate. Off in a few weeks to the High Court to try and get Abbott to front up before the voting starts.

I'm putting it out there; there are few better combinations than fat, potato and cheese. The dish pictured isn't mine, it's probably French and I don't know what it's called, but who cares! When it's as easy to prepare as slicing potato thinly (but please, please use the guard on your mandolins!), and layering that alternately with sliced onion and cheese before dabbing with thick cream and a healthy sprinkle of seasoning you're on a winner. Provided each component is kept in a respectful proportion, 45 minutes later your moderate oven will yield up a tantalizing result, which in this case I served with green beans, a baked field mushroom and some grain fed porterhouse. Graaaaaavy (that means good, by the way!)
Not to be outdone, and because I really should include some drinks banter, our accompanying wine almost stole the show and made me look bad...damn you Ten Minutes by Tractor! We had their Northerly facing Mcutcheon single vinyard '07 pinot, and boom -what a stunning wine! I really know very little about wines, but this magnificent drop was beautifully structured, with perfect red berries, a bordering-on-minty herbaceous lift and gorgeously fine tannins. Go find some right now. Really...right now.
At some stage I really should make some desserts lest the Gnomes of Zurich strip me of my pastry cooking veil, but until then, have a great weekend all!

Being the peculiar person I am, I have been following with alternate amusement and distress the furore about weekly/fortnightly bin collections. (Yes. The processes at work in the evolution of French vocabulary are really that dull.) And, apparently*, ASDA have now decided to allow shoppers to leave their excess packaging at the shops, and then pass it on to the suppliers.
Ohhhh. So it's the suppliers' fault is it. Never mind that supermarkets insist on farmers using a certain type of packaging and making them pay for it themselves. Never mind that most fruit and veg is pre-packaged because it makes it easier for the person on the checkout to scan a barcode than to weigh loose apricots in a paper bag, and because it encourages the consumers to buy more.
Nope, must be those pesky suppliers, who, as we all know, have for years been exploiting those poor supermarkets and forcing them to comply with their ridiculous demands…
I think I might go and live on an island somewhere and keep goats.
*Though I can't actually find a more reliable source than the Mail or the Evening Standard.

By now, most book lovers will have faced the great question of our age, "To Kindle or not to Kindle?" (or "To e-booker reader or not…" if we're to be brand neutral.) I was firmly in the 'not' camp until I got one as a present, which I suspect is a familiar tale. Do I feel compromised? Have I let books down? Am I killing the thing I love? Well, I hope not. You see, the darn device is just so alluring. And portable. And easy to use. And you get to look smug on trains. In short, reader, I love it.
So, what have I read on it so far? The usual assortment for eBook beginners, I imagine. A few murder mysteries – Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, some Jane Austen, Dickens. In other words, lots of out-of-copyright and therefore free, content. I'm already a big fan of the classics, although I readily admit I've a lot more ground to cover, so the Kindle is a perfect way to explore lots of titles at the click of a button. I also love the sample feature and have used it to check out some bestsellers before taking the plunge.
For me, it's all about usage. I like having my favourite titles with me wherever I go, but I won't be throwing away the originals. It's more like a handy, back-up library. I can try daunting classics on a whim and for newer titles it's a 'try before you buy' thing. I'm sticking with the basic model for now. I fear the glitzy distractions of the Kindle Fire and other tablets would prove too much. As for ownership issues and whether a download should give you more rights than a mere licence, it's all a bit murky and a debate I'll leave for another day.

PROCESS – Mark Laban's Rustic Stool is his interpretation of a Japanese teahouse, but the manufacturing process is less traditional and more cutting edge innovation — literally.
Drawing inspiration from the concept of wabi-sabi, which champions a worldview focused on the acceptance of transience and imperfection, Laban took his design cues from the rusticity found in traditional teahouse architecture.
However, Laban created his stool using contemporary digital manufacturing processes and computer aided manufacture software. 'I discovered that by manipulating variables within the parameters of the CAM software I could produce interesting distortions that are conventionally imperfect or incomplete, like the "rough" patterned textures,' explains Laban.
Experimenting with the artificially generated rough textures led Laban to draw a comparison with tree bark, which in turn led to design iterations influenced by the original stool archetype — rustic seats constructed from log slabs and incorporating simple wedged construction techniques.
To translate the digital to the physical, Laban 3D-modelled the final components of the stool as simple solid forms and calibrated the cutting tool to produce the desired geometric cuts, giving the components a texture like tree bark. Finally, once the milling was completed, the parts were sanded, the joint details completed manually and the piece assembled.

Blogs. Just another place for people to vent thoughts, serve their egotistical desires of longevity and the like. Instead of being only between friends and family the entire world gets to view your petty ramblings. And yet I add to the disease by making yet another "blog." My goal, however, is to keep this one more professional than the ones I've kept in the past, whining about guys who didn't like me, crying about hard my life was and the like. Essentially, boring shit. And as a note, by professional, I don't mean that it will be necessarily clean, or devoid of subjects that ears dont' want to hear. I'm not one to piss around the bush. If I don't like something or if I don't like you, I'll let you know.
Anyway, I happen to your average female young "adult." I use the term loosely as I'm still in University and I've only recently been introduced to the world of responsibility (it was a sad day when I realized I couldn't rely on mommy and daddy any longer). I happen to be 21 years of age, and I reside in Northern Canada where it does get rather frigid. Currently it's minus 26 Celsius.
However I'm going to go enjoy some time in meatspace.

We see here Stars of David on a photo of Herzl in the first Zionist congress with a Digitally Processed portrait of Arafat. Caption is a quote from Herzl's saying: "the Jews who want a state will achieve it". The idea is to show that Israelis need to show determination if they don't want to lose their land.

Therapeutic Effect
Content First Appeared on on Beliefnet
Photo copyright: © David J. Bookbinder 2008
I already heard from a few people that the Star of David has a Therapeutic Effect, but this is the first time I write about it.
From David J. Bookbinder's blog:
My choice of the hexagram (the Star of David, "beloved" in Hebrew) as the organizing shape for these mandalas was subconscious, but I believe this choice was no accident. In many traditions, the Star of David, composed of two overlapping triangles, represents the reconciliation of opposites — male/female, fire/water, and so on. Their combination symbolizes unity and harmony. Listening to what the mandalas were telling me led me out of a dark place and, indirectly, to my decision to become a psychotherapist.

Much Needed Air Superiority
The opening to the Space Wolf 7th Edition revamp is starting strong with an exceedingly powerful couple of flyers. In one fell swoop Games Workshop immediately fix one of the biggest issues with the current Space Wolf 40k codex - the lack of anti-air. The models look like the Forgeworld Caestus Assault Ram. It's great to see GW continuing the design ID rather than making up some crazy flying wolf. I love it.
The Rules
Not only have they fixed this problem they may have thrown Wolves right out in the front in terms of air power. The Stormfang Gunship and Stormwolf transport both looking like superior versions of the standard Space Marine Stormtalon Gunship and Stormraven respectively.
I new frost cannon weapon profile has been introduced with some fairly scary stats. The Helfrost rule means that any unsaved wounds cause a strength test, with a fail leading to the complete removal of the model.
As far as I know, the gunship version drops some transport capacity for a more potent frost cannon with large blast capabilities. Very potent.
Lets take a look at what the designs are like. Personally, the rumor leak images made them look a bit average. Now I have had a look at the full 360 view I am very impressed personally. Have some shots of the sprue as well, always good to look at the raw plastic too.
Ice Blaster Issues
Whilst I love the overall design the Frost Cannons irks with me slightly. We all know the Space Wolves come from somewhere cold, somewhere with wolves. Do we really need a cannon that fires cold too? It's such a lazy idea and far too comic book like. At least it's not a wolf catapult that fires wolves. Wolves that breath ICE and upon death explode into smaller wolves. Wolves made of ICE.
On the other side of the argument - I am glad Space Wolves are getting some unique weaponry, especially as it looks quite competitive. In addition, the beauty of the hobby we play is that you can model it however you want. You can paint it red hot and call it a wolf variant on plasma technology if you want. This isn't some computer game with fixed skins and animations, we can do whatever we want.
A strong start to the Space Wolf line up. The frost cannons, if cartoony seem to be a strong weapon and it will be interesting to see where else it turns up in their new codex. I am looking forward to seeing how the update will change the way list building works for wolves.
What are your thoughts?

March Madness is enveloping our college campuses and office cubicles once again. But imagine if, for each two-point basket your team scores, the opponent counters with three. That gap, small at first, would inevitably lead to a significant loss.
When it comes to jobs, America has fallen into a "growth gap" of its own. The current recovery is falling further behind its contemporaries — and many economists now fear our nation has fallen into a new substandard economic norm.
While the recent jobs report contained positive news — 246,000 new private-sector jobs and a slight decline in the unemployment rate — the current recovery led by President Obama actually has fallen further behind other recoveries that have taken place since World War II.
Today's recovery is half the strength of the average recovery of the past 70 years. The White House likes to boast of 6.4 million private jobs created since the low point of February 2010 — a gain of 5.9 percent. However, over the same period for all previous post-WWII recoveries lasting more than a year, America's average job gain was 9.8 percent, equivalent to 10.4 million private jobs.
That's a growth gap of 4.1 million private jobs and $1.3 trillion in real gross domestic product missing from America's struggling economy. This growth gap, according to blue chip forecasters, is projected to grow larger next year.
Even more troubling, in its most recent Budget and Economic Outlook, the Congressional Budget Office cut its estimate of the potential real GDP growth rate to 2.2 percent, more than a full percentage point below America's average since 1950. This might not sound like much, but it has a huge impact on jobs, our economy and our ability to pay the future bills of the federal government.
At America's traditional 3.3 percent economic growth rate of the past half-century, the real economy doubles every 22 years. At the new lower rate of 2.2 percent, it takes almost 32 years to double in size — a decade longer.
A permanent growth gap of 1 percent translates into a slower growth by one-third for young Americans seeking their first job and families hoping to reach their American dream.
A permanent growth gap of 1 percent means our economy will be $20 trillion smaller in 2052. That's an annual gap larger than our entire economy today.
It will also be harder to balance the federal budget because the 1 percent growth gap means the loss of $93 trillion from our federal coffers through 2052. For perspective, the entire unfunded liability of the U.S. government, including Social Security, Medicare and federal pensions, is less than that — $87 trillion.
This prospect of a "new normal" with permanently slower growth for America's economy should be a red flag for all Americans.
Washington cannot be content to allow the United States to falter from the ranks of the world's strongest economies. Together we must focus on reversing this growth gap and creating a second American century in which we remain the world's most dominant nation for economic freedom, opportunity and prosperity.
To achieve it, the White House must choose another course. Instead of expanding the government as a size of the economy, it should shrink it as witnessed in the pro-growth policies of the Reagan and Clinton administrations.
Those administrations' economic policies contributed to the two greatest periods of economic growth in American history, separated only by a short, shallow Gulf War recession. At this point in the Reagan recovery, for instance, the economy had grown 20.1 percent and added the equivalent of 7 million more private jobs than the Obama recovery.
To close the growth gap, Congress and the White House should come together in at least four key areas:
First, we must return non-interest federal spending to its historical post-WWII percentage of GDP within the decade to spur business investment and job creation.
Second, we should apply an objective, peer-reviewed cost-benefit analysis to existing regulations as well as expanding it to new ones. Of the 3,500 new federal regulations each year, only 13 are subject to a full analysis as to their economic impact. Better analysis means better regulations, and more jobs.
Third, tax reform should pursue the lowest rates for individuals and businesses while also lowering the cost of capital for new business investment. We must differentiate between loopholes and incentives that universally spur growth — such as accelerated depreciation for job-creating business investment.
Lastly, the president and Congress should act now to make Social Security and Medicare solvent over the long haul.
Follow these steps and America's growth gap, as well as fear of a dimmer economic future, will disappear.
Brady is the chairman of the Joint Economic Committee.

Morning Musume leader Takahashi Ai (24) will graduate from the group and Hello! Project at the end of Morning Musume's fall tour, it has been announced. The news was delivered during the Hello! Project winter concert at Nakano Sun Plaza on Sunday.
Takahashi joined Morning Musume in August 2001 as a 5th generation member, which means that she has the most seniority out of the current members. She has also served as the group's sixth leader since June 2007.
Morning Musume just added four members a week ago with its 9th generation, following the graduation of Kamei Eri, Junjun, and Linlin on December 15. Last summer, at the time it was decided that the three members would graduate, producer Tsunku told Takahashi that she should also think about the timing of her own graduation. As a result, she will continue her duties as leader while the new recruits ease into the group. At the end of Morning Musume's fall tour, she will pass on the role of leader to Niigaki Risa (22).
Takahashi said that she plans to continue her music career, including stage shows and live performances.

A little way outside MudgeeDelete
Well these last two shots have certainly made my heart sing .... sitting here in 45*c heat I need all the water pics I can find. Lake Windermere is a real treasure and for captures on the run they are superb.ReplyDelete
When I hear the temperatures down south is makes me glad I live in the mountains. We think anything over 30 is hotReplyDelete
Cool and calm. What the local wildlife would give for a slice of that now. Poor birds are zonked out, beaks open, waiting for the cool change expected tomorrow.ReplyDeleteReplies
We were out that today. It was 38 and I notice the dams are beginning to dry up. I hope you got your cool change. I think ours is still a few days away.Delete

Oh my word I feel like the white rabbit almost every week at the moment…"I'm late, I'm late!" 😂
It's not as if I forget, it's more that it gets pushed out of my brain by the day to day life of being a parent 😂
Anyway I am going to get right to it, before something happens to distract me.
As you know I am joining in with kate and her linkup of lovely writers, for five minutes of free writing. Without going over it and editing..Eek!
This week's prompt
This is an interesting word for me.
Certain aspects of my life I have used as a form of control.
Because sometimes when things go wrong we try to adjust by changing other areas of our lives – in order to try to gain control.
When I was younger I controlled my eating.
If you were to ask me if there was any trigger, I couldn't give you an answer. Because I don't really know myself.
One thing I do know is that I was so afraid of being sick that I just stopped eating. Which in turn spiralled out of control.
But the whole thing behind it I guess, is that of control.
Nobody likes to feel as though they have no control. It is one if the worst feelings.
As an example my husband hates rollercoasters – because he has no control over the speed etc.
I wouldn't say I am a control freak, by any stretch of the imagination.
But I am a major stresser. I stress about little things, big things, things that haven't even happened.
But we can't control everything. Sometimes we just have to let it be.
Take a deep breath. Have faith. And let go.

Stella Luna - A Petfinder Happy Tail
Stella Luna - posted 11/25/2013
From Victoria of Hanover , MA
I was searching the web for a kitty for my mom about a year and a half ago, when I came across a picture of "Blackie." I instantly fell in love. She was the sweetest little kitty I ever saw. Even though black cats have an awful reputation and people have all sorts of superstitious misconceptions about them, I knew I had to meet her in person.
I went down to the shelter almost immediately, thinking she's be swept up in a second. However, when I arrived, I found out that she'd been sitting in the shelter waiting for someone to adopt her for awhile (even though she was still a kitten at 9 months old), but the volunteer told me black cats spend more time in shelters than any other color of cat and it wasn't unusual.
When the volunteer brought her to me in the visitation room, she ran right over and gave me hugs and cuddles. She sat on my lap and played with the strings on my purse for the next half hour, purring away.

The Role of ICT.
Extracts from this document...
The Role of ICT 1: Two types of IT system for which failure would be catastrophic would be, for example, an IT system at a power station. If a power station IT system went down this could cause power cuts in certain areas monitored by the system and all kinds of disruption. Another example could be in industry where IT systems are used to monitor certain stages of production. If they failed this would be catastrophic for the organisation, as it would waste time and money. 2: A social impact of introducing computerised information systems into business organisations may be that some employees would feel threatened by the new system. ...read more.
Another organisational impact would be that communication with suppliers/distributors/advertisement agencies etc would be much quicker by the use of the Internet and e-mail. This saves time and money (assuming the system was efficient). 3: During the last few years more and more people have begun to work from home. These people are called teleworkers. The advantages to individuals are that they can work flexible hours, meaning they can arrange their working hours as is suitable for their needs. Some people may be able to concentrate more efficiently in a quiet area rather than surrounded by distractions. Working from home means that time and money is saved from not having to travel. ...read more.
The disadvantages to the organisation are that management may have difficulties controlling a workforce that are not in the office. Also there is a problem ensuring that remote staff understand goals and remain loyal to the organisation. The advantages to society are workers don?t commute so congestion and traffic is greatly reduced. 4: Three other necessary qualities, apart from technical skills, needed to progress in the ICT profession are communication, management and problem-solving skills. Communication skills are needed because ICT is dependent on communication; this is one of the main uses of ICT. Management skills are needed because people need to be organised, efficient and independent when working with ICT. Problem-solving skills are necessary because with ICT systems, problems are bound to occur so having these skills is necessary to progress professionally in ICT. ...read more.

Following the citation "One does not really know a science until one knows its history", I've decided to provide such information for my area of interest: RTC Enterprise Extensions.
The story started in 2009 and I felt like providing such a recap could help both customers (and potentially business partners/colleagues from the field) when questioning a particular features "introduced at some point of time…. but when actually ?"
It shall be noted that the following information borrows a lot to a previous blog post from Robin Yehle Bobbitt. Robin covered versions 18.104.22.168 to 3.0.1. I'm extending to versions starting from 4.0 up to 4.0.4 versions.
The following picture is somewhat interactive: you could click any circle in it, consult a specific version and then click back on your browser, etc. Hope you enjoy it !
Version 18.104.22.168 (Q4 2009)
- z/OS file agent : made it possible to extract files from the SCM to PDS/Es.
- The mass import tool allowed you to import existing source from data sets into the SCM.
- Rational Build Agent allowed you to create build definitions that call out to existing host build facilities, or submit JCL.
- New build type, Antz build, provided full capabilities to build any z/OS related artifacts (via Apache Ant extensions for the z/OS environment).
- Support for RDz remote projects.
- Collaborative debugging with RDz and the IBM Debug Tool.

- ISPF client for "green screen" access to common SCM and build functions.
- Dependency build capability (for only building programs as necessary, i.e. based on change).
- Component promotion to move source and build outputs together through the development hierarchy (e.g. Dev->Test->QA->Prod).
- Shiplist-based packaging and deployment to gather your build outputs and deploy them to another runtime location.
(more details) / Back to the "evolution path"
Version 3.0.1 (Q2 2011)
