Job hunting can be a stressful endeavor, but when a posting comes along that seems like a perfect fit, it is important to jump on the opportunity as quickly as possible. For animal lovers, veterinarian offices and zoos might seem like the obvious choice for a job, but one company is turning that idea upside down with their new job posting. Dog lovers looking for a new job in Fort Worth, Texas may be able to get a dream job thanks to Mutts Cantina. The dog-friendly cafe and pet park took to Instagram on October 29 to share the news that they were hiring for a position they are calling a "puptern."
The puptern position pays $100 per hour and for dog lovers it may just be a dream job. As a Mutts Cantina puptern, the job is simple: pet puppies. It really is as simple as that. The job requires people to be good at petting puppies, and generally loving dogs.
In their post on Instagram, Mutts Cantina asked people to "Show us your puppy petting skills!" They asked interested parties to send in videos of their puppy petting skills via the social media platform. In order to get their attention and show the company that the video was in fact being submitted for the job, they asked people to not only tag them using @muttscantina, but they also needed to add #MUTTSpuptern.
The best way to grab the attention of Mutts Cantina was to make the video creative, while still showing off those puppy petting skills. Beyond the obvious skills being shown in the video submission, people were also asked to explain why they believed they would be the perfect fit for the position of puptern.
View this post on Instagram
Show us your puppy petting skills! Do you have what it takes to be the first-ever MUTTS Puptern at our brand new location in Fort Worth? Post a photo or video by 11/12 that shows us your puppy petting skills and use #MUTTSpuptern and tag @muttscantina for a chance to be hired as our Puptern and get PAID $100 per hour to pet puppies at our new location! Creativity is encouraged– tell us why you're the best fit for the position in your caption! #MUTTSFortWorth #MUTTSpuptern
Since posting their puptern position, the Instagram post has been viewed more than 25,000 times and has been picked up by a number of news outlets in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In fact, the news of this dog-friendly job opening has spread near and wide, bringing in more than 1,500 video submissions under #MUTTSpuptern.
From videos to pictures, Instagram users seem excited by the idea of being paid to pet puppies. With so many submissions having already been submitted to the dog-friendly restaurant and park, it is likely that the puptern position will be filled easily.
Mutts Cantina already operates a location in the Dallas area, and this new position is for their second location, which was recently opened in the Fort Worth area. At $100 per hour, plus getting to spend those working hours with puppies, it may just be a dream job.

Retailers have a number of ways they can improve or increase their sales or revenue. This blog will focus on two ways to increase this revenue through improved reporting and smart replenishment.
If you use these methods what can you expect as a return, improvements will vary but our customers have seen increased revenue ranging from 2% to 3% and decreased inventory stock levels of 1% to 2% while still fulfilling the needs of their customers and reducing stock outs of products.
Reporting and Analysis
One major area to improve sales revenue is to perform more in-depth analysis of your sales data across your stores, over periods of time; even down to the time of day. This task can be cumbersome but if you have the right products you can produce reports quickly and easily to monitor this information daily.
Professional Advantage Retail Analytics offers tools to allow our customers to create reports that will allow them to drill deep into their data and generate ad-hoc reports on the fly when they see any trends or anomalies.
Here are some examples of reports that will allow you the analysis your data:
Sales Information by Location and Products
This report includes information around sales revenue, sales margins, quantity sold and more. It will allow you to see the information by each location at a glance and drill down to the item level if needed.
Sales by Time
This report will help show how your goods are selling by time of day. This report will help you analyze your labor needs and when your peak sales times are throughout the day.
The types as well as numbers of reports possible to analyze your data are endless. A few additional types could be:
- Sales to Stock Ratio Report
- Gross Margin Return on Investment Report
- Sales versus Inventory Levels or Value
Smart Stock Replenishment and Forecasting
Keeping your stock at optimal levels in a store can be a very time consuming process and generate the potential for overstock or out of stock situations.
To help reduce your carrying costs and make sure you have the right product, at the right store, at the right time, you can lean on tools like smart replenishment tools and demand forecasting.
Inventory replenishment tools can help you do things like stock leveling, moving goods from stores with over stock to stores with out of stock or under stock. These tools can make decisions for you that would take hours upon hours of your time to analyze.
Another method is to forecast your inventory needs based on current sales trends or past sales history. This will allow you to project or forecast your inventory needs into the future and assist you in making better buying decisions along with gaining a better price on the products you need.

A Look at Steel Fabrication
Over 1.8 million tons of steel, a durable yet malleable alloy of iron and carbon, are made and used around the world every year. Steel fabrication is a complex process that uses both man and machine to create everything from intricate works of iron artwork to massive structures that loom in the sky. Steel is synonymous with strength, perseverance, fortitude, and durability thanks to its place in the worlds of construction and manufacturing. You can take advantage of its capabilities to create customized structures in a fraction of that time through modern steel fabrication.
What Are the Uses of Steel Fabrication?
Steel can be manipulated into anything from paper-thin plates or long and thin beams to foot-thick support structures that extend over a hundred feet. As such, a skilled fabrication shop can take a raw supply of the metal and turn it into a variety of products for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Prefabricated structures made from carbon and stainless steel can be stored and shipped to create houses, offices, and workshops that can be assembled and disassembled rapidly to meet operational needs. In the hands of a capable fabrication shop, it can do everything from serving as a core structural component inside the walls of a building, fulfilling auxiliary functions like guiding gas and liquids as piping, as a durable covering for exterior surfaces or as a beautiful decoration to lend a special touch to a room.If you are trying to build a large structure, be it a skyscraper, a stadium, a bridge or just about any other major architectural project a steel skeleton is a commonly utilized, and highly recommended, place to start.
Why Use Steel for Fabrication?
Steel possesses a broad suite of traits that have made it ideal for fabrication and construction in the past century: high durability, ample availability, and diverse applicability being the primary three. For construction, steel is typically less expensive and easier to manipulate while offering the most structural integrity per pound when compared to other commonly used materials.
It can even be injected with other elements to tweak traits like the hardness or resistance to shock, heat, and corrosion as needed for specific uses. Adding chromium to the mix will generate stainless steel, a variety that is frequently used for rust-proof and low maintenance exteriors. Tool steel has more durability and heat resistance than basic carbon steel through the addition of metals like tungsten, creating a brand of steel that can withstand heavy strain. Other alloy selections can change the steel from solid and rigid to easily bendable. The strength and versatility of steel push it to the forefront of materials used for construction projects.
Steel is also one of the most highly recyclable materials, capable of being reprocessed multiple times without losing any strength or integrity. Almost every steel product has some recycled elements inside of it given that 69% of all North American steel is repurposed every year.
How Does the Steel Fabrication Shop Take the Raw Material to Final Product?
The Design and Conceptualization Stage
Before a single piece of steel is cut, the fabrication shop works together with the client to create a blueprint that will guide the rest of the process. The primary goal of the shop in this stage is to help mesh the needs and wants of the client with the physical capabilities of fabricated steel structures. Because steel's versatility allows its applications to range from surgical needles to pieces that span the length of a football field and weigh a hundred tons, the primary limitations are load-bearing and durability calculations.
Shops today have a tool of remarkable value in Computer Assisted Design (CAD) programs that move the blueprint drawing stage from pencil and paper to a digitally-controlled screen. Beyond the convenience of being able to rapidly share and copy the blueprints, CAD software is more efficient at creating three-dimensional blueprints, a handy thing to have when building three-dimensional structures. With the input of the client, their knowledge of steel, and the aid of tools like CAD programs, steel fabrication shops draw up detailed plans and pass them to their team of metalworkers efficiently.
The Processing Stage
After all of the planning is done, it is time to get to work. The shop has a variety of tools and techniques that can be used to take the steel from one shape to another. The equipment makes use of heat, pressure, and force at levels that are powerful enough to bend solid steel, requiring precision and care even from experienced metalworkers. When the CAD calibrations mentioned above are combined with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment, impeccably precise cuts and bends can be made at speeds that allow for the quick production of high-quality steel components.
The Final Touches: Assembling and Finishing the Processed Steel Structure
After the steel has been shaped into the necessary forms, the shop can begin to turn the concept into a reality. Some pieces will be sanded, blasted, and painted to provide resistance to the elements or just for the sake of aesthetic appeal. For construction projects, pieces of steel will be welded and riveted together at the shop and on-site before being placed in their new location. In the end, the client will be left with a gorgeous steel structure that could be a new home for their company or a shed for their own workshop projects.
Once put into place, a building made through steel fabrication can last for multiple decades of use and abuse by the elements and those who work inside the space. The durability will not stop you from adding improvements, making small modifications or repairs, or even completely disassembling the structure and moving it to a new location. The one thing you can count on is that your fabricated steel structure will be with you for years to come.

i came up with a couple of wide leather high waist belts.... inspired by the jetsons, namely rosie, the robot maid. these belts are made with all the special leathers i don't get to use nearly enough, perforated, metallic, suede, printed, patent, vintage... they have an adjustable snap closures at the back, and leather covered elastic... so they fit between a 26"-34" wiast comfortably... i can make them bigger or smaller if needed.
i'm only making one in each color combination, so they will be one of a kind... i have a couple of them listed in my etsy shop. thanks to yana for modelling! (dress by groggy, necklace by miju, lace tights by supayana, vintage hat)

Last week, I saw a post on social media from a mom asking what had bitten her (I think young teen) son. She also posted some pictures of all the bites.
Poor kid.
Folks offered their opinions: go to the doctor, it's spiders, 'skeeters and — gulp — bedbugs. I do not know the outcome of that post, what came of it. I bugged out quickly and never looked back. But, it got me thinking: "Damnit, Don, we have written about these critters before."
Committed to educating you, dear readers, I searched and found this gem from September, 2010. (And, yes, I think I did receive some flack for it.)
* * *
For a while now I've been reading about the increase of "undesirables" in the states south of us. And, since it really didn't pertain to us in Michigan, I figured, "what the heck, it's their problem."
But the more I read of the invasion of these darker, reddish-brown skinned unwanteds, the more I thought we needed to beef up protection of our southern border. I wanted all vehicles inspected. I wanted all people and pets crossing the border, north, checked to make sure they were not harboring these undesirables. Alas, they were only thoughts; I didn't share them.
Now it is too late. They are already here. Even in Michigan bedbugs are back. (What? Did you think I was talking about illegal aliens. No, I wanted the border between Michigan and Ohio put on high-alert. And, as far as I am concerned, I blame Ohio for our current bedbug problems.)
The Detroit Free Press reported "around the metro area, bedbugs are biting . . . calls for help rise 180 percent over a year."
Hot damn, and pass the DDT, please.
Have you seen a picture of a bedbug? They are disgusting little blood suckers and they give me the heebie-jeebies — which by the way, is an American slang term coined by comic-strip cartoonist W. DeBeck around 1905, meaning a condition of extreme nervousness caused by fear, worry or strain. Thought you might like to know that.
Whilst I have never had an experience to meet a bedbug, I still rank them right up the "Gives Don the Willies" list with headlice (Bailey Lake Elementary outbreak of 1972) and Rahm Emannual (his eyes ook me out). Yep, like most folks, to me bedbugs were something I heard about when as a kid, and is what I say to my kids at bedtime, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite — and if they do, bite 'em back."
Not anymore.
Let me quote the Freep article: "A bedbug outbreak this month (August) at the Riverfront apartments in Detroit and a federal conference Wednesday (August 18) on bedbug problems in the state of Ohio are symptom of something bigger — a worsening nationwide bedbug explosion . . . bedbug calls rose 180 percent in Metro Detroit . . . officials in Ohio, dubbed the nation's worst bedbug state (see I told you it was their fault) . . ."
Get this — in three months, an infestation of two adult bedbugs can grow into an infestation of 302 bedbugs. And, by exercising some multiplication skills (or finger dexterity on the calculator) in another three months that infestation would explode to 45,300 bedbugs. And in another three months — 6,908,250 of apple seed-sized blood suckers could be scurrying over you while you sleep.
Is there something crawling up my back?
The State of Michigan has a 118-page pamphlet about the bedbug, which you can read and or download on-line. here are some more fun facts about your friendly Cimex lectularius — the bedbug.
1. Bedbugs are thought to have evolved from cave-dwelling insects in the Middle East that fed on bats and eventually started feeding on humans instead (great). Human bedbugs were noted in Greek and Latin literature. The the insects rapidly spread throughout Europe with human populations.
2. They have piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed.
3. Bedbugs go through five nymphal (immature) stages after hatching from the egg and before molting one final time to an adult. They require at least one blood meal at each stage.
4. Adults may live for more than a year!
5. Females must mate to lay eggs. Mated females lay eggs singly, cementing them to surfaces in crevices and protected areas away from but near a host sleeping area. (So they not only suck your blood while you sleep they are doing the horizontal bop, too. That is just so wrong.)
6. They feed for 3-15 minutes and then leave the host. It is rare to actually find bed bugs feeding. Once in their protected hiding spots, the blood meal is digested. During this process, they will defecate, leaving reddish brown spots that are characteristic of bed bug infestations.
7. They have a wide humidity tolerance range but tolerate dry climates better than humid, and have been known to survive without blood meals for up to a year
8. At present, because of the stealthy habits of the bugs and their remarkable abilities to tolerate environmental fluctuations and host availability, it can be difficult to eradicate them once established. (Simply wonderful.)
Don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel itchy.
And, damn Ohio, damn their bedbugs, too!

Diary of Thomas Burton Esq: Volume 2, April 1657 - February 1658. Originally published by H Colburn, London, 1828.
This free content was digitised by double rekeying. All rights reserved.
Saturday, May 30, 1657.
Colonel Fitz-James reported amendments to Captain John Arthur's Bill; which passed, and were ordered to be ingrossed.
Colonel Gorges reported amendments to the Bill for Mrs. Bastwick, (fn. 1) which passed, and were ordered to be engrossed.
Sir William Strickland and I, (fn. 2) moved that the Report for the Bill for York River might be now made.
Mr. Speaker. It is not seasonable to move it against the heir.
He said he would hear it on Monday.
Mr. Bodurda. I move to recal your order for naming of the Committee for the Bill for Buildings. The members were so solicited that it would beget confusion. I therefore move that his Highness may name them, and appoint salaries as he thinks fit.
Major Beake. I second that motion, for I was so solicited that I have forborne to attend the Committee. It would breed confusion. So I move that his Highness may appoint them.
Dr. Clarges. Adhere to your orders. If the King could ever have got that advantage of a Parliament, to name Committees for a business of monies, we had not arrived at that reformation. As the best of kings have been deceived in their grants, so the best of protectors may be deceived in the characters of men. The Committee may debate every man apart as to integrity, &c.
Colonel Shapcott. I move that his Highness may appoint Committees. It will take up much time to debate every man, first here and then at the Committee.
Mr. Fowell. I move that his Highness name them, and the House approve of them, to save debate.
Sir Richard Onslow. In the case of Subsidies and Assessments, the Parliament gives directions about the names; but this differs from Assessments or Subsidies. Again, if you transfer power to another, that still preserves your power of naming, for if the power were not in you, you could not grant it.
Lord Whitlock. This case differs from that of Assessments and Subsidies, though there be monies at the bottom, and the granting of such power is a clear argument that you have the power. It will be best for his Highness to name them.
Sir Christopher Pack. I have been greatly solicited, and it will be hard for the Committee to agree of names. I therefore move, that his Highness may appoint them, for upon the faithfulness and skill of your Committees rests your whole business.
Mr. Highland. You are not uncapable to do this work yourselves. His Highness may be misled and misinformed in men. I have been also solicited; but, of all men, I should not speak for them that have solicited me. I would have only sufferers in your service, and not mercenary men.
Mr. Bond. In the Long Parliament, you, and every gentleman, can bear witness what contests, discontents, and high animosities there were about matters of this nature. I have been solicited by forty or fifty persons in this business. I am sorry, for that reason, I was named. It will not only ease your Committee, but prevent the clamour upon you. I have told many that they were not fit for that place; and therefore I would hot vote for them. If I present my friend to be one, and vote for him, I shall be suspected of partiality; if against him I shall lose my friend.
Dr. Clarges and Mr. Godfrey moved, that for the preservation of the privilege of Parliament, this House might approve Committees.
Colonel White. It will be no great felicity to put this upon his Highness. You may well trust his Highness with it. He will not be so much solicited as your members are, for the difficulty of access.
Mr. Pedley. I move, that other officers, as well as the committees, may be named by his Highness. The Committee has voted one treasurer and three registrars.
Resolved, that his Highness shall name the committees and other officers. (fn. 3)
Mr. Bampfield. I move, that pursuant to your votes, there may be a manifestation of your clear negative in it; that you do think yourselves tied up; that no members may be commissioners, nor any persons concerned or taxable for those buildings, nor that have other offices or salaries.
Mr. Highland. I second that motion. It is not fit that any of those persons named should be commissioners.
Dr. Clarges. I second that motion, that men may not have seven or eight offices. If so, instead of six months, you will be six years in doing of it.
Mr. Godfrey. It is not honourable for any persons interested, or that have other offices, or are members of this House. I hope none here will look for it.
Mr. Highland seconded this motion, that such qualifications might be annexed to the power.
Mr. Speaker. It is not fit to set my Lord Protector rules, to restrain his appointment.
Sir Christopher Pack. It is not proper to restrain his Highness in such cases.
Mr. Fowell moved, that it might only be recommended to his Highness, and no vote put.
Mr. Speaker hoped, that "the self-denying ordinance" (fn. 4) would hinder any member from seeking those places.
Lord Whitlock. I move that you would not pass any vote upon this, so as to limit his Highness, but rather that some honourable person about him would intimate your purposes herein.
Colonel Sankey. I move that it may be only recommended to his Highness, and not to restrain him by any vote. I would have your old Parliament servants looked upon herein.
Dr. Clarges moved, that the Committee might have power to fill up the blanks, as to penalties upon those that conceal their buildings. (fn. 5)
Mr. Trenchard. The nuisance of keeping pigs in a pound, one hundred together, and feeding them with garbage, is very noisome to the neighbours, and is much used in this town. I move that this Committee may take care of that nuisance.
Mr. Speaker and Sir Christopher Pack. The parties are indictable for this nuisance, and there needs no additional law for this.
The Bill for Assessments upon Ireland was called for, and the other debates fell.
Major Aston brought in the Bill, and said he came to it as to execution, for that he believed they would never be able to pay it, and he had rather drop off a finger. It was a short Bill.
Mr. Speaker. If the Assessments are as short as the Bill, it will fall short of expectation.
Captain Hatsel moved that the second time of reading of it might be appointed.
Mr. Highland. This Bill is not worth a second reading. It is a nose of wax, and nobody can make any levies upon it.
Colonel Clarke. The Bill will serve the turn. I desire a second reading, for though there is not a particular appointment of commissioners in every county, yet there are commissioners for the whole dominions. This is no otherwise than as to the commissioners for London, which consists of several divisions, yet those commissioners lay it thorough.
Major Aston. We could not be informed of the ability of this or that county, for all are so flitting that we have no certain abodes, here and there. That county which we left half planted, may now be all wasted, and the county that was half wasted may now be all planted. We could not possibly distribute it.
The Bill was appointed to be read a second time on Monday.
The Bill for the Assessments upon Scotland was read the second time, and committed.
Sir Edward Rhodes. As you have passed an order for England to make up the proportions as formerly they were, so I would have the same divisions and distribution for Scotland.
Lord Cochrane. The distribution of the sums upon every county in Scotland cannot be as the former Act of Parliament appointed.
Lord Tweedadle. I move that for filling up the blanks it may be committed, and, for saving your time, to the Committee for the Scotch affairs, which was resolved accordingly.
Colonel White arid Mr. Fowell moved, if time would admit it, that it might be in a Grand Committee, but. rather to refer it to the Private Committee, otherwise it will hinder the passing of six bills.
Mr. Speaker moved, that a note might be entered, that it shall not be drawn into precedent, to refer a Bill of Assessments to a Private Committee, but in respect of the pressure of affairs.
The Bill for the Customs was called for, read the second time, and committed too.
Mr. Fowell. The custom upon tin is too high; the profit that the poor people get is out of the jaws of death and danger.
Sir Christopher Pack. I move that it may be committed to a Grand Committee. I except against the largeness of the powers, to impose fines and imprisonment, or otherwise, upon misdemeanours. That may be hanging, for aught I know. Such clauses were never in any bill.
Mr. Bond. The powers were once debated at the Committee, and, as I take it, thrown out; they are such powers as never were brought into a Parliament. I move it may be referred to a Grand Committee.
It was referred, accordingly, to sit on Monday next at ten o'clock.
Mr. Fowell. The Bill for the Excise wants but two hours. I move that it may be done on Tuesday.
It was resolved accordingly.
Mr. Secretary. We shall be in some danger before we meet again, unless we take care as well for the constant revenue, as you have done for the 400,000l, and the 600,000l. You have left that 1300,000l. very much at loose. I shall move that you would see which way that shall rise; and that a Committee be appointed to inspect the treasuries of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and see, if it fall short, how it shall be supplied.
This was resolved accordingly, &c.
The House being informed that one Michael Beavor, an attorney, a prisoner for arresting Mr. Denn, (fn. 6) was at the door, moved that he might be called, and he was called in accordingly, and he being upon his knees at the bar, said he did not prosecute after he knew that Mr. Denn was a Parliamentman; and the party being withdrawn, Mr. Denn stood up and said the attorney had delivered him the writ, and he was satisfied, and thereupon the House passed a vote for his discharge on paying his fees.
Mr. Downing. There is a very short Bill ingrossed, touching exporting fish. I move that it may be read.
Mr. Speaker was unwilling to hear the motion; yet the question being put, that the Bill for poor-John (fn. 7) shall be now read, it was moved that the door might be shut.
Mr. Speaker moved and put the question, that the door should be shut while the Bill for poor-John was read.
It was resolved accordingly, and Mr. Secretary offering to go out, the Sergeant stayed him upon this vote. The Bill was read the third time, and passed without any debate. Only
Major Beake moved to know if this did not give a liberty to Flanders and our enemies, to fetch fish in their own bottoms.
Mr. Fowell explained. The design of the Bill is to furnish the people of Spain with fish, which were always our best chapmen for it. It will stink on our hands else. Besides, this Bill is but to continue till December 1659, and the fishing to the Newfoundland is the very nursery of our seamen, which, without this Bill, would infinitely fail and decay.
The House was adjourned after one o'clock.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce told reporters Wednesday that he regretted shoving offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the sideline Sunday night as the team was in the midst of suffering its first loss of the season.
"I mean, we're good," Kelce said.
"We've moved on as a team from last game. Me and Coach Bieniemy have a very close relationship. I love him. He's helped me out tremendously as a person, as a professional, and I'm sure he'll keep doing that throughout the rest of my career.
"Just what happened on the sideline, sometimes in football you get a little heated with your brothers or your coaches. Sometimes you've just got to rally the family together and let everybody know that we're in this together to win a game.
During the second quarter of the Chiefs' 19-13 loss to the visiting Indianapolis Colts, NBC cameras caught Kelce and Bieniemy talking before Kelce shoved the coach as he appeared to grow irritated.
The two were then separated, with offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif pulling Kelce away, and offensive tackle Cam Erving grabbing Bieniemy. Afterward, the cameras showed an image of the tight end and coach hugging.
"He's like a father figure, in terms of being there for me on the field," Kelce said, according to ESPN.
"We're wired a little bit the same when it comes to our competitive edge. ... It's something immediately I regretted and I just wanted to make it good and let him know that, 'You know what? I'm ready to rock and roll for you.'"

Jersey Central Power and Light donated $10,000 to Advancing Opportunities to help individuals with disabilities become more independent in a safe and nurturing environment.
Advancing Opportunities is a non-profit organization and "one of the leading disability service providers in the state of New Jersey," according to their website. With this donation from JCP&L, the two organizations worked together to create a home that will make living life easier, and more independent, for individuals with autism.
"It is a crossover from the consumer to the home," said Jack Mudge, CEO of Advancing Opportunities. Mudge said that the smart home transforms the way that staff has been helping those with disabilities become more independent by taking it from an individual consumer level, to a much larger scale.
The group home is equipped with push-buttons that operate the doors from both inside and out and has voice activation in the form of a Google Home that helps individuals turn the television or the lights on or off from wherever they are. Accented with carpet on the lower half of the walls, the home protects itself from damage in the event that a wheelchair or other device bumps into it. The inside of the house has no floor moldings so that the floor is perfectly flat; this helps people avoid tripping, falling, or not being able to ride over the moldings in a wheelchair. The back and front of the house are outfitted with wheelchair ramps that travel directly to the doors. The bathroom is also enhanced by a new kind of shower system that allows a staff member to set the temperature of the water, so one need only push a button to take a shower at the desired temperature. For extra safety, there are supportive handicap bars installed in the bathroom as well as an overhead lift installed throughout the hallways and bedrooms to help the residents get around without worry.
Sensors in every door, window, and bed allow staff members to know when someone gets up or where they are going within the house. This feature is what helps Advancing Opportunities' trained staff stay aware of the status of the disabled individuals in the house. As Mudge noted, it takes a highly trained staff to keep watch and take care of the individuals in the group home before they adapt to being more independent.
The goal of the group home is to provide individuals with the opportunity to become more independent in a safe place, while also letting them control their environment, according to Mudge.
JCP&L helped host the open-house and vice president of external affairs, John Anderson, provided a few opening remarks before Advancing Opportunities personnel gave a short tour of the home.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Advancing Opportunities…It is very inspiring," said Anderson. Anderson also noted that what was so special about the event was the feeling that Advancing Opportunities provides of turning a house into a home.
Included in the $10,000 donation from JCP&L were holiday lights and decorations for the house, to provide a cheerful holiday atmosphere for those about to reside in this new home.
"JCP&L did a beautiful job lighting the house," said Mudge.
Anderson mentioned that this would not be JCP&L's last effort to work with Advancing Opportunities.
"This is an ongoing collaborative effort," said Anderson.
JCP&L plans to collaborate with Advancing Opportunities on more group home projects in the future and Advancing Opportunities is going to be completing another smart group home in Lincoln Park, come next week.
Part of the significance of this first ever smart group home is to be used as a test model for future endeavors, according to Mudge.

The day before I had arrived at Corrour station and did Benn Na Lap (see http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=47703). Today the weather was a lot more favourable, I could actually see the hills and stand up! A small group of us started off from the YHA on the edge of Loch Ossian.
The route was quite straight forward. We walked along the southern banks of the Loch which was a good track to take you to the farms on the eastern shore.
After about 5km we came to end of the track and took a right through a farm yard past a white-washed farmhouse. The farmers were jumping in their jeep to go stalking. We asked if we were ok, just to be on the safe side.
We headed up a track at the other end of the farmyard. there was a lot of track building going on building a new dam or hydro scheme.
We made use of this new mini dam that had just been built to cross over the river and head SE up the broad shoulder of Meall Nathrach Mor.
By the time we got to the top of Sgor Choinnich the cloud had come in and had a bit to eat.
We headed due south for an easy walk across moorland to the first Munro Sgor Gaibhre. The walk was easy going headed down to the bealach Mam Ban. We got intermittent views of Loch and surround hills.
After reaching Carn Dearg we headed NW down the shoulder and back towards Peter's Rock to follow the new track back to the YHA.
All-in-all this is a relatively easy circuit of hills as you start from around 400m already, so there isn't much climbing to do.
However it was very enjoyable and great to return back to the cozy YHA for a nights drinking *cough* entertainment!
The next day I spent enjoying the lovely conditions on the loch taking photos....
I'd highly recommend staying at this place. If you get the weather it truly is a wonderful spot!
Share your personal walking route experiences in Scotland, and comment on other peoples' reports.
Warning Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

Author: Deiric McCann
Over the last decade, I've been dedicated to training teams and leaders around the world on mindfulness. The vast majority of folks that go through my programs instantly see the value in mindfulness practices and begin incorporating a mix of them into their lives and work. Sometimes, even when the most of the individuals appreciate that their organisation has invested in such a program, I have experienced people that tell me "Mindfulness just isn't for me," or "I've tried, but I just can't seem to commit to meditation practices."
I've even experienced some folks that say "I just don't get it, it'll never be for me!"
In the courses I teach, attendees learn very practical ways to incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques into their daily lives. They discover that 'practicing mindfulness' does not necessarily mean sitting posed on a meditation cushion for hours a day.
So today, I've decided to share some insight into other techniques and programs individuals can use to achieve similar outcomes like those associated with a mindfulness program.
The goal here is building resilience and helping people respond better to stress and challenging work environments.
Resilience is defined as an individual's ability to adapt to stress and adversity. Your level of resilience is defined as your capacity to bounce back from a negative experience to your normal state of functioning. Resilience is not an ability or trait you either have or do not have, everyone is resilient and can improve their level of resilience. It is typically enhanced by engaging in activities or techniques that help facilitate good physical and mental health. Highly resilient people are able to effectively balance negative and positive emotions and make effective responses to them.
While people may love the work they do, so many today are suffering as they don't know how to deal with the associated stress of a demanding job and environment.
Traditionally, organisations have placed more emphasis on physical than mental health in the workplace. As our work environments transform, employees and leaders now face the most demanding environments and positions, which is resulting in a significant increase in mental health and work-related stress issues.
According to Mental Health Ireland, more than 30% of Irish employees will struggle with a mental health issue each year and work-related stress is costing Britain 10.4 million work days a year. According to an article in U.S. Health and Safety Magazine, mental health concerns are both common and long-lasting. About 18% of the U.S. adult population (44.7 million) has a mental illness in any given year.
"This is not limited to blue-collar jobs or white-collar jobs, depression and anxiety cross every industry and occupation, every socioeconomic status, every race and ethnicity."
Researchers from Stanford University and the Harvard Business School, found that less severe mental health concerns such as stress can trigger much larger problems.
Genos International, a leading provider of emotional intelligence assessments reacted to this by creating The Resilient Leader Program.
The Resilient Leader equips leaders and individuals with the tools and techniques to help build higher levels of resilience and well-being in the workplace for themselves and those around them.
The powerful 1-day program helps raise leaders' awareness of this new key corporate responsibility and gives them the tools and techniques to facilitate well-being in their teams. Participants explore and practise applying a 3-step model for positively influencing the way others feel around a distressing event and helping them find the best possible response to make to it.
Steps to becoming a more resilient leader:
Look at 'how you are seen to show up at work' – a review of your emotional intelligence leadership behaviours.
Every attendee completes a Genos Assessment. They complete a self-assessment of their EI behaviours, then they select individuals they'd like to receive feedback from. Instead of receiving a numerical or unactionable response like "You're EI/EQ level is 52," the Genos assessment is unique in that it measures how you are seen to show up at work and how important your raters deem these particular behaviours to be for your position. They gather input on six emotionally intelligent behaviours:
- Self-Awareness
- Awareness of Others
- Authenticity
- Emotional Reasoning
- Self-Management
- Inspiring Performance
Each attendee receives a customised workbook for the program that includes their assessment results, along with a development tips workbook to help them develop key EI behaviours.
Take part in a powerful 1-day program facilitated by a Genos Certified Practitioner.
The course dives into the neuroscience of emotions along with the effects of positive and negative emotions on us. Studying emotional intelligence and emotional intelligence in leadership helps participants understand and interpret their own EI Assessment results and how to hone in to key areas for development. The program then goes through techniques and strategies to develop higher levels of personal resilience.
Develop an action plan to boost resilience in multiple areas of your life
Attendees work through strategies for this in four areas: physiological, relationship, thinking, and environment. Then they dive into powerful models for developing resilience in each of these areas.
Developing the levels of resilience for leaders can be truly life changing or themselves and everyone around them. With the Genos facilitator or coach, each person documents insights and builds an action plan to take back to their lives and workplace so they can start having a more positive impact straight away. It's a comprehensive and enjoyable program to experience.
So if you're focused on developing the well-being and resilience of your teams or the teams of your clients, or you may have experienced the "I'm not interested in mindfulness" feedback, the Resilient Leader is a great way to do so.
If you're interested in hosting a Resilient Leader Program in your organisation or you'd like to learn more, feel free to let us know here.

02 May Meeting Law Enforcement Educators & Trainers at ILEETA 2018
Agency360 spends time learning from FTO experts
To stay up to date with the leading training trends, you have to go where the experts are. For law enforcement, one of those places is the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA) Conference & Expo in St. Louis. Over 800 attendees stay for a full week of learning, networking and exhibiting to listen as trainers from around the country share their insights. We got to talk with many of our friends, all who said that this conference is the single most important one of the year for them.
Training Topics, Old and New
ILEETA offers sessions across many different topics. One attendee told us his favorite session was about how the brain responds to stress. A few of the speakers focused on field training – right up our alley. While some sessions approached training at the 101 level, others dug deeper into the challenges that more seasoned trainers tend to experience.
One such session, The Transformational Trainer in Law Enforcement Training, reminded trainers to look beyond their subject matter expertise and dive into the actual science of learning. There are many common myths of adult learning, and speaker John Bostain exposed some of them. Like us, he says no "death by PowerPoint" presentations!
FTO Supervisor and Trainer Dan Green spoke on another topic near and dear to us – culture. Sgt. Green encourages others to be on the leading edge of culture changes as a field trainer. He talked about the new tactics, technology and techniques that are introduced to the law enforcement community daily. As law enforcement instructors, the responsibility to teach and train peers falls on the FTO's shoulders, so it is important to be on the leading edge of instruction. Dan spoke about adult learning philosophies, positive learning environments, 21st century expectations and the benefits of a defensible FTO program.
Agency360's own Rachael Ibbetson was lucky enough to attend Sgt. Green's session. Here are a few of her personal takeaways:
- Law enforcement officers did not get into this career to be a teacher. Therefore, we have to teach them how to be teachers.
- You can not teach with dictatorship.
- Millennials expect more, but you can get more from them if you cater to their learning styles.
- It's important to stay unbiased from one trainee to the next.
- Repetition is key. Expose them to the same thing in different ways multiple times.
We are also big fans of Thom Dworak's "Adaptive Decision-Making" workshops. He presented a research-based course to teach FTO's how to become adaptive, agile decisions makers. Attendees heard about a decision-making model that is flexible, universal and legally sound. Thom also introduced a feedback method that is "millennial proof" and nurtures the probationary officers' critical thinking skills.
One other session relevant to the FTO titled "Leadership and the FTO Unit" was led by Cmdr. Paul Hasselberger. Many administrators understand the importance of training new officers using a standardized training program. While this goal is certainly important, staffing the training unit with high quality trainers is universally critical. Paul's discussion was unique in exploring the role leadership skills play in developing the talents of the training officers, and the benefits the development of these leadership skills has to the department, training unit and trainee.
A few other random takeaways from the Agency360 team:
- We learned a ton from the ILEETA speakers and from talking to attendees in our booth. One common theme is that managing field training isn't easy without a software that's customizable.
- We saw several Agency360 customers and got to catch up, which is always great.
- Attendees were able to meet ILEETA authors and get an autographed copy of their books. Participating authors provide a donation to the ILEETA Scholarship Fund – very nice!
- We loved the Union Station and the overall vibe of St. Louis – and will definitely be back.
- Bonus: we also learned about policetraining.net which provides a listing of law enforcement classes and seminars. Check it out!
If you missed ILEETA 2018, don't let it happen again. Hope to see you there next year!

This is a delicious cheesy pasta bake with tomato soup added for a tasty variation. A great one for the kids; serve as a side or with salad or vegetables as a main.
This was AWESOME! Definitely a keeper The only thing is the next time I make this, I will 1/2 the recipe. It makes ALOT! But oh so good! - 31 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I added a can of well drained diced tomatoes... Helped to make it a bit more juicy - 25 Oct 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
We all (toddlers and parents) really loved this. It was more like a "baked ziti" with less cheese. We like it creamy on the bottom and a tad crispy on top, so this is a keeper. Based on reviews we made our additions... ADDED 2 CLOVES CRUSHED GARLIC, 1 TBSP ITALIAN SEASONING, 1 tsp ONION POWDER. We used 2-3 slices of (GF) bread grated with the large holes of the cheese grater for the topping. Perfect. We love the dairy free, gluten free version: brown rice macaroni, rice milk, cheddar-like goat cheese, can tomato sauce, and for the butter: coconut oil. - 28 Jun 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Rupert Murdoch Calls Fox News Viewers Morons & White Trash
New York, New York - In a conversation with Fox News celebrities, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, that was picked up by an open microphone, Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO of News Corp., repeatedly referred to Fox News viewers as morons and white trash. The incident took place as the three men were sitting together at a benefit dinner for the Ann Coulter defense fund. Apparently, they had been drinking heavily which may account for their lack of restraint and obliviousness to the open microphone that was positioned directly in front of them.
At one point, while addressing O'Reilly and Hannity, Murdoch said, "Can you believe the shit we get away with? Good thing our viewers are dumb as doorknobs or else we would be in trouble." To which, Hannity laughed and then replied, "Yeah, I heard that people who watch Fox News have to wear bibs to catch their drool so their sofas won't be stained by the tobacco juice, and that's just the women." O'Reilly, also laughing, then joined in by saying, "Hey, how many Fox viewers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they all refuse to change the bulb because they prefer living in the dark."
However, the unkindest cut of all that is sure to enrage Fox viewers came at the end of the conversation when Murdoch raised his glass in a toast and said, "God bless trailer park trash and idiots everywhere. Without them Fox News would be nothing and I would not be a billionaire."
After news of the recorded conversation became public, Fox News released the following brief statement, "We encourage our viewers to reject anything they hear or see that does not come directly from Fox News. Fox News is the only source of information you need for Fair and Balanced™ coverage."

What can you say about the NFL? Nothing is more popular on the landscape of American sports. This translates to the world of video games very nicely, as Madden football is the biggest selling game most every year. Things were moving along well for both the league and the game. Sure, there was competition from other sports and other games but the NFL and Madden just kept sailing along until 2 years ago. That was about the time when the NFL made the decision to go with exclusive licensing for their product in the world of gaming. That was the time that the gaming community turned a cautious eye towards the league and EA. What was going on? No other NFL games!?!? No competition to push Madden next year? Sports gamers around the world were both shocked and angered at this turn of events. Even the most hardened Madden fan would at least like to see their game being pushed by another company. The NFL sold its video game soul to EA a few years ago and now, the second helping of the only NFL show in town is available for every console known to man. We can all assume that the league and EA have gotten their money
It seems like we

Coffee table styling is one of my favorite things to do -- the coffee table or ottoman in a room can be a focal point. It can be a reflection of your likes, travels and collections. They can also be the perfect spot to prop your feet, stack your favorite books or sit down with a drink. I get questions all of the time from clients and friends about what makes the perfect coffee table and how to make it beautiful and functional. Here are just a few of my favorites from recent project... take a look!
This ottoman is layered with a throw, books and pretty objects.I love the colors in this tufted top. With a tray, it functions as a coffee table too.
Lucite or acrylic tables allow the rug to shine and don't take up visual space so they can make an area seem bigger.
Always, always do fresh REAL flowers in pretty small vases (or group small bud vases together) for a pop of color.
Trays add color and compartmentalize the surface. Trays allows you to break up the space. You can find them at art stores (spray paint wooden trays in a fun color and line with a pretty paper or wallpaper). You can also use a framed mirror as a tray and remove the hanging hardware from the back.
I love to add candles with great scents in pretty jars.
This is my personal coffee table. I love to flip through coffee table books (these can reflect interests: travel, interior design, gardening, cooking....). There are tons of beautiful books. Stack them and add sculptural elements on top to ground them.
We have so many great accessories at The Coop right now.... just looking for a coffee table of their own. We are open by appointment and by chance....
What is on your coffee table?

Building the TokShow app gave us another great opportunity to test our API in a real-world app. And, sure enough, we discovered some additions for the OpenTok API.
Not all clients using the app and participating in the session have the same audio-video capabilities. Some clients use older versions of Flash Player or hardware that does not support acoustic echo cancellation. The acoustic echo cancellation feature was added in OpenTok v0.91.18 (in June), and it works great. It pretty much eliminates acoustic audio feedback. We wanted to build an app that allowed the administrator to see if a potential participant (fan) had acoustic echo cancellation supported on their machine. However, the OpenTok API did not provide that information … so we added it. And the new API includes other information on the quality of each stream in the session. In addition to acoustic echo cancellation support, the API provides other information about the publisher of a stream, including the upstream bandwidth, whether the microphone and camera are enabled, and whether H.264 video is supported. These enhancements were added in the November 10 release of the OpenTok API (v0.91.35).
The app consists of three separate views: one for the artist, one for fans, and one for the administrator. We managed each of these in corresponding JavaScript files. Adding OpenTok audio-video streams to the page was simple, as you simply need to specify the HTML element that a stream replaces. This means that you can easily integrate OpenTok with jQuery or other frameworks. We used Backbone.js to manage views and associated data models.
The administrator page is used by the director or producer of the live event. In addition to the audio-video streams of the artist and the current fan talking to the artist, the administrator page includes a list of fans waiting to chat with the artist. The administrator can then queue up the next fan to chat with the artist, and then put that fan "on-stage" (while removing the current fan). This administration page included information on each fan's capabilities, including their acoustic echo cancellation capabilities (as mentioned above), providing the administrator with information on which fans had the requirements needed for a good connection.
As we were in the process of development, we became aware of the need to maintain states for each view. For example, a fan's page could be in one of the following states: (a) just watching the artist chat with other fans, (b) in line waiting to chat with the artist, and (c) "onstage," chatting with the artist live. As states change, we published or subscribed to OpenTok streams, depending on the needs of the current state.
We needed to build an app that would support thousands of simultaneous connections to the OpenTok session, without burdening any client with unneeded events or audio-video data. OpenTok supports the numbers our app requires, but we made sure that each view was only getting the data it needs. For example, the fan and artist pages would only subscribe to two audio-video streams: that of the artist and that of the fan talking to the artist. On the administrator page, we included controls for turning on and off audio and video for fans that were in line. (This is easy to do. In the OpenTok API, each Subscriber object has a subscribeToAudio() method and a subscribeToVideo() method, which you toggle audio and video on and off.) Also, we add "artist" as connection data when generating the artist's token; this way pages can identify the artist's stream by checking the connection.data property of the Stream object.
We used the OpenTok signaling API to have the administrator send information to other participants in the session. Basically, the administrator page would make an Ajax call to store information on the server. Then it would call the OpenTok Session.signal() method. Fan pages connected to the session (as well as the artist page) would then get a signalReceived event (defined by the OpenTok API) and use an Ajax call to look up the data. (See the blog post about the server-side code for the app.) For example, as a new fan went "on-stage", the administrator page would relay the ID for the fan's stream, using this signaling method, and other pages connected to the session (fans and the artist) then subscribed to the stream (using the Session.subscribe() method of the OpenTok API). Also, we add "administrator" as connection data when generating the administrator's token; pages check the fromConnection.data property of the signalReceived event to make sure that the signal event is from the administrator (and worth processing).
In an upcoming build of OpenTok, we will be adding an API to save and transmit state information about sessions. This will make it easier to relay information among participants without relying on storing data on the server.

Introduction: Bench Power Supply Using PC Power Supply
This comes in handy for testing most DC circuits that use 1.2 VDC up to 20 VDC. Total cost was less the $20. I know that this doesn't have the best looking wiring on the inside but I rushed placing components because I really needed it do for testing components at work.
Warning: In this project you wont be inside the PSU but if you do open it make sure to give a day or to unplugged for the capacitors to discharge. The wires coming out of the PSU only have 3 Amps so besides a quick shock there wont issues.
Step 1: Supply's
1. Tape
2. Screw Driver
3. Computer PSU
4. Cable
5. Soldering Iron
6. Drill & Bits
7. Wire cutters
8. Wire strippers
9. Volt Meter
10. Test leads with patch banana clips (red & Black)
superglue or epoxy
Step 2:
Step 3: Circuit Components
• Switch
• 2 LEDs of any color (Red and Green)
• 2 Resistors 330 OHM
• Heat Shrink Tubing
• External Enclosure
• Drill and Bits
• LM317, LM338K, or LM350T Voltage regulator
• 100nF Capacitors (ceramic or tantalum)
• 1uF Capacitors Electrolytic
• 1N4001 or 1N4002 Power Diode
• 120 Ohm resistor
• 5k Ohm variable resistor
• Binding Posts
ATX Power Supply Extension Cable ( comes included with most PSU)
Step 4: Circuit
I tested the circuit on a bread board first.
note: the voltage regulator can have different pins from what is shown. make sure to look up the stats sheet.
Step 5: Future Improvements.
Add a USB port to it by connecting it to the 5 DCV.
Add a cigarette lighter to the 12 DCV if I can get it to fit inside case.
a built in voltage meter.

where in the schematic is the diode supposed to go? I only see the location of the LEDs. I see the diode attached to one of the legs of the regulator chip in the picture but im having trouble following your wiring
Thanks for noticing that it goes in between the output leg and + 12 VDC I'll edit that when I get a chance.
Cool project. Question: I was told that when you combine the + and - 12V, yes you get a loss, but you should not sure any of the Outs (+5 or +3) at the same time because the phase difference the 12Vs are using simultaneously will mess up the Vout. Have you experienced any such problem? Note: it was an electrical engineer trying to explain that to me, but since I'm not an engineer I may have lost something in the translation so my understanding my be wrong.
thanks this is all DC voltage so the phase will be constant also you do get voltage loss because the regulator needs to use some of it to work. I hope that helps. I could also explain why I use a negative and a positive voltage to get double the voltage.
Ah sorry ignore my comment, I see you are using + and - 12V. :)
yeah I'm using +12 and -12 the and the most voltage I get out of it is about 20.1 VDC because of the loss.
You do know that you can't get higher Vout than Vin don't you? In fact you'll lose about 1.6V across the regulator so best you'll get is around 10.5V with a Vin of 12V

August 4 marks the centenary of the entry of Great Britain and her Empire into the First World War, and the Bishops of England and Wales have asked all their clergy to mark this and other anniversaries as they fall over the next four years. This effectively means that Mass will be offered for those who died on the nearest Sunday, and that there may well be a mention of the anniversary in the bidding prayers. This is being done so that the Church is shown to be playing its full part in the national celebrations of the centenary, if indeed celebrations is quite the word.
The centenary is by no means a single event, but rather a series of events spread over four years, culminating with the hundredth anniversary of the November 11 Armistice which falls in 2018. Along the way, we shall be commemorating, in particular, Gallipoli, the Somme, Jutland and Passchendaele, thus marking battles on land and sea, including one notable for the involvement of non-British Imperial troops.
It has been often observed that there has been a growth in interest in the First World War, even as it recedes in time and those who survived it pass from the scene. The Tommies are now all gone, but the fascination increases, and I am not quite sure why. Perhaps it is something to do with our understanding of the way we are now, and the way that the unmitigated disaster that was the First World War led to our present situation.
In the vast discussion of the War's significance, two things I have heard stand out for me. The first is this. Germany knew it faced industrial competition from Russia, and there was talk that by 1916 Russia would have overtaken Germany in industrial output, and thus the year 1914 was the year for war if Germany wanted to ensure its dominance, before it was overtaken. That is the usual narrative. But the Kaiser and his government were also told in no uncertain terms that Germany was destined to dominate Europe without war as well. In other words, the entire War was counter-productive; the Germans started it to dominate Europe, to grasp a prize that was already theirs. They lost the War, and thus ensured the prize was, at least for some time, snatched from their grasp. The moral of this is that war really is never worth it; you can get what you want by keeping the peace.
The second matter is the impact of the War on faith. An Anglican clergyman once told me that the War destroyed the credibility of the Church of England, because the experience of the trenches raised questions that the Tommies' chaplains were simply not able to answer. By contrast, the Catholic clergy were able to provide better answers – or maybe Catholic devotional practices were: thus Catholicism survived the War in better condition than Anglicanism. I am convinced by this thesis, which strikes me as analogous to the 'rampant omnibus' theory of Dr Trevor Wilson in his 1966 discussion of the cause of the decline of the Liberal party; though there is no space here to discuss this in depth. But it makes sense. The rampant omnibus of the First World War destroyed all forms of optimism; a rather gloomier Catholicism, with its focus on the undeserved sufferings of Christ, was better equipped than most to survive.
While on the topic of the religious impact of the War (which is surely still with us), the special permission given to priests to celebrate three Masses on this day dates from August 10 1915; this privilege was given to the whole world by Pope Benedict XV in his Apostolic Constitution Incruentum Altaris (it had previously been restricted to Spain and Portugal) because of the high casualties in the War. In the Bull the Pope speaks of those who are cut down in the flower of their youth thanks to the terrible war now raging in Europe. Thus every All Souls Day, in a sense, we mark the First World War still.
Another enduring impact of the War is devotion to the Little Flower, Saint Therese of Lisieux. Her cause was introduced in 1914 before the War began, but there is compelling evidence that the experience of the trenches, and the huge amount of holy pictures and medals given by French women to their combatant men, were instrumental in making this hitherto obscure nun such a hugely popular saint. It was to her that the soldiers turned in their hour of need. And they were right to do so, one feels!

text: As a Crayon Pop fan since day one… I don't know what i'm trying to say. Maybe i'm trying to brag about it and say i liked them before they were cool. Yes, before the weird, tracksuit and helmet-wearing, interchangeably Asian girls who broke through the youtube meme barrier became cool. Glad to be ahead of that curve. But really they've always been good, despite, just as much as because of, their gimmickness, and deserve to have life and popularity outside of this internet fifteen minutes. I'm so happy they're successful, i just hope this level of success isn't solely attributed to the gimmicks and they aren't swallowed in trying to recapture it. Their willingness to be fun and goofy was such a breathe of fresh air, and they've been so smart with it so far – the guerilla concerts, the social media reaching out, etc. – and the songs are there… … Don't screw it up.

Climate change spurs dengue early warning system for the Caribbean
Jamaica Gleaner News -"Very little is said about the role of climate change in the outbreak and spread of mosquito-borne diseases in the Caribbean. People usually blame poverty and poor vector control for mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and dengue. These diseases have killed thousands of people in the Caribbean since colonial times. With climate change now a serious concern worldwide, climatologists in the region are now making it clear that the phenomenon is deadlier to Caribbean peoples than previously thought. At a recent forum on biodiversity held in Kingston, Professor Anthony Chen of the Climate Studies Department at the University of the West Indies, Mona, spoke about the impact of climate change on the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the vector responsible for dengue fever."

I am a sport and media, ahem, "expert" with a wealth of experience in journalism, public relations and a particular interest in football and golf.
A former reporter, news editor and PR man, I now pursue my passion for sports and sport writing through my company Red Top Sports + Media.
Sport is a hugely important issue for millions of people and the passion it invokes among regular fans is incredible. Sadly the blazers, the powerbrokers, the money men and even the participants and players often make decisions that leaves the fans scratching their heads and reaching for the valium.
This blog will be my own small way of venting my spleen on the contentious sporting issues of the day and will hopefully provide at least some entertainment along the way.
It will also be an excuse to report the fortunes of Leith Athletic amateur football club, for whom I play in centre midfield, the attempts to lower my golf handicap and any other musings as we go.
As the saying goes, let's grip it and rip it………………

Kidgate Boys' Choir & Louth Male Voice Choir
On the evening of Friday 5th December, the Kidgate Boys' Choir joined the Louth Male Voice Choir at Louth Methodist Church for an incredible evening of musical celebration. Each of the groups sang their own pieces and then came together for a spine-tingling finale! There was a full house of proud parents, members of the community and well-wishers who enjoyed a truly memorable evening.
