How to Set Up an Asset Tracking and Accountability Control System
Inventory and Asset Management - What's the Difference?
The basic component of any asset tracking and accountability control system is an inventory management system. Asset management is similar to inventory management, for inventory is also a party of assets.
A good inventory or asset management system:
- Details each item, assigns a code to it, and provides a comprehensive description of the same.
- Assigns bin locations for each item.
- Improves asset visibility and accountability to reduce unnecessary purchases or rentals and maximize asset utilization.
- Identifies assets physically retired, but not removed from inventory or records, to lower storage costs and insurance premiums, and dispose of them.
- Tracks sales or asset movements on a real-time basis to protect against theft, pilfering, and other losses.
- Calculates the holding value of the inventory and other assets at any given time, and analyze returns from assets vis-à-vis holding costs.
- Communicates with suppliers, security agencies, and other stakeholders in near real-time.
Types of Tracking Methods
The traditional alternative to manual counting and tracking of inventory and assets were bar codes. Newer technologies such as RFID tags, bokodes, and QR codes are now available, of which RFID tags have already gained widespread popularity.
- Bar Codes consist of a series of parallel black lines and numbers beneath each line, and contain information specific to the asset. It allows for a quick, easy, automated, and error free method of transferring asset related data to the computer.
- Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are microscopic programmable transponder tags that contain a microchip. The microchip activates when near a scanner containing an antenna that emits radio frequency signals, and transmits information related to the asset or inventory to the scanner. Most RFID tags require no batteries, using power from the initial radio signal to transmit their response. RFID scores over bar codes by its ability to transmit data from several yards away, thereby allowing asset tracking without actually going near the asset. It also allows incorporation of more in-depth information regarding the asset, and can tell if an item is out of its place, making it an effective anti-theft tool too. RFID signals however, may step on or collide with each other, making accurate readings difficult at times.
- GPS Tracking, especially for movable assets such as vehicles: [Attaching a GPS unit](/tools/Looking at the best GPS Devices for Asset Tracking Read more: http:/www.brighthub.com/electronics/gps/articles/117596.aspx#ixzz1RxcuocVd) serves the same purpose as a RFID tag, with the difference being GPS allows tracking the asset and movement located virtually anywhere in the world. Companies such as LoJack and DeWalt offer such GPS solutions.
- Bokode is a small 3-millimeter object consisting of a LED light placed behind a lens and a printed photomask. The photomask has the desired information, and is readable with a standard cell phone camera from up to 12 feet away. Bokodes hold several thousand times the information that a traditional bar code holds, and matches RFID's range without signals colliding. The major dampener however, is the high cost.
- Quick Response Code (QR Codes) is a square pixel based image, with information embedded in the pixels. A QR reader application loaded in a cell phone, or any other device, retrieves the embedded information.
Tracking Methods in Action
Regardless of the tracking methodology, include the following information in the asset:
A header "Property of," suffixed by the company name, to lend clarity on who the owner is.
- Name of the person or department responsible for the asset.
- A serial number. Use a serialized naming convention to provide a unique primary key for each piece.
- Asset Type, Model, Serial No., Branch, and any other relevant details that allow easy identification of the asset.
- Date of purchase, date of phasing out, date of next maintenance, date of upgrades, and other milestones.
Apps & Products to Consider
There are many asset management and tracking applications available in the market today. Some of the popular providers include:
- inLogic: inLogic's RFID Asset Tracking Solution allows taking stock and monitoring assets in real-time and ensures accountability of movable assets such as IT equipment, audio/video equipment, scientific and research equipment, medical devices, and other capital equipment. It integrates with existing accounting, asset management, and property control systems to provide a seamless system, eliminating duplicate entry and errors.
- RedBeam: A trusted provider of bar code and data collection software, RedBeam provides software modules for fixed asset tracking, inventory control, and check in-check out. These software help manufacturers, warehouses, distributors, the military, government departments, education institutions, and healthcare providers track fixed assets, inventory, parts, and supplies using barcode labels. All applications come in two versions, standard and mobile.
- InvoTech: InvoTech's Ultra-High Frequency Radio Frequency ID Uniform and Linen Systems (UHF-RFID tags) is an extremely flexible and durable RFID tag that withstands washing. It allows mass electronic scanning to track thousands of uniform, linen or any other fast-moving asset items, and protects such investment by maintaining a real-time record of where each piece is located, whether in storage, in transit, or in use.
There are several other choices as well. Each solution has its advantages and disadvantages, and the key to effective asset management is the ability to customize the software to one's special needs.

What a relief! The producers let Richard Blais and Mike Isabella cook without playing any childish sabotage games.
Well, almost. The kink of having them assemble potluck kitchen staffs from among the losers could have been disastrous. But neither of them got stuck with Marcel, and Mike caught Jamie on a day when she was in the mood to cook , so it worked out.
And Richard beat Mike fair and square, although there were moments I feared Mike's that pepperoni sauce would top Richard's grainy first batch of foie gras ice cream. Even though pepperoni sauce sounds more appealing to me than liver ice cream. Who in hell, besides cats, would want that? Especially as a dessert? Yeecchh!
As much as I've grown to loathe Tom and Padma, they did the right thing. Mike has had his moments, but Richard was obviously and more consistently superior in both innovation and execution.
In the after-show festivities, poor Fabio Viviani wasn't chosen "Fan Favorite." But if he had to lose to anybody, I'm glad it was Carla Hall. I can thank Fabio for my new Nutella addiction.
There's still a reunion show to come, complete with an uncomfortable Real Housewives-like exchange between Colicchio and what's-her-name, the first cheftestant out who told the press Colicchio's a sell-out.
And over at America's Next Great Restaurant, I'm still rooting for Joseph Galluzzi and his Saucy Balls, although his menu put him in the bottom 3 last week, and this week's promos indicate he may jump the shark going gangster. But if he goes, so do I. I'm meh on the other concepts and judge Steve Ells' nerdiness is starting to annoy me.

Hey, Burglars! Lay Off the Thrift Shops!April 7, 2009 at 8:18 pm | Posted in News | Leave a comment
Not again! The latest thrift-shop heist was last week in West Palm Beach, Florida. According to Channel 29: "Someone smashed the glass in the front door at the Adopt-A-Family Boutique and Thrift Store at 7637 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach about 4:30 Thursday morning. Once inside, they emptied the contents of two tip jars and then ran out the back door. The two jars contained a total of about $50 dollars that customers had donated to help low income families. The culprit didn't take any merchandise from the store. But it cost $250 dollars to repair the smashed glass in the front door. They do not have surveillance cameras, so there's no video of the crime."

Koh Lipe is one of Thailand's most beautiful little paradise hubs, home to amazing beaches, delicious food and friendly locals. Wander around the palm tree-studded island, soak up some rays and enjoy a sunset-Chang or two. Koh Lipe beach life is the ultimate way to chill, and each sandy haven is easy to reach by foot. This island is built for relaxation, so grab a book and hit the beach…
Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach is a tiny little bay, with around 200m of soft sand to relax on. One end of the beach has a few rocks and trees that provide shade, but this little strip of sand normally gets plenty of sunshine during the day. This beautiful bay is tucked just off a main road, and is well-signed all over the island.
Despite being known for its amazing sunset views, I actually preferred going in the afternoon when it was empty. This is the perfect Koh Lipe beach for you if you like quiet places where you're left to yourself. There are several routes you can take to get here, and half the fun is trekking through the overgrown paths and emerging on a hill looking over the turquoise waters. It's an incredible view, and you're in the perfect place to cool off. Expect clear water, fine sand and gentle waves.
Sunset Beach tends to get pretty busy in the evenings, try and head here around 5.30pm to enjoy the sunset and get ready for some incredible colours across the sky. There is a small bar selling cold Changs (Thai lager), so get settled in and make the most of nature's beauty. The beaches here are kept quite clean, so be responsible with your waste!
Sunrise Beach
Over in the east of the island, Sunrise Beach is a lovely, quiet area for anyone who wants to swim. This beach is around 800m long, so there is plenty of room to set up camp and enjoy the glorious weather. One end of this beach acts as a little dock, with quite a few boats coming in and out, and constant un-/ loading of goods here. Keep walking and you'll find a haven of stillness and sunshine.
The beach here is nice and clean, and the waters are perfect for swimming, floating around and snorkelling. You can rent a mask and fins if you like, or just enjoy the clear waters and explore on your own. This was my favourite Koh Lipe beach for its serenity – the waves here are calm and you can easily wander away from any beach-front resorts to find total peace.
The time of sunrise obviously varies with the season, but you should try and get here by around 5.45/6am. The colours of the sky are unreal, and you'll get hot surprisingly quickly, so take your bathers and enjoy a sunrise-dip. There's an amazing resort here, Castaway's, which has a beautiful sun terrace and delicious food. Relax here with a coffee after your morning excursion to catch the sunrise.
Pattaya Beach
Pattaya Beach is the main beach on the island and is the first one that visitors see, making it the busiest of the three. You can relax here while waiting for your boat, and the immigration office is here, too. It's really close to Walking Street – the 'main road' here that's crammed full of restaurants, bars and quirky souvenir stalls. Its perfect location means that you won't find a quiet spot to yourself, but you're sure to meet other travellers.
This beach is around 1km long and is lined with bars, resorts and little massage stalls. If you like your beaches on the lively side, head here for music and lots of fun. There are various places where you can hire sunbeds, which makes a change from the other two, much quieter beaches. This Koh Lipe beach has a real holiday feel and fun vibe to it. Make the most of the beach volleyball, football and loud music from some of the beach-front bars.
Getting to Koh Lipe
This island can be a bit of a hassle to get to, but it's so worth it as soon as you're enjoying the sunshine on a Koh Lipe beach! Many people come here from nearby Langkawi, with the ferry crossing taking around two hours.
If you're outside of Thailand, fly to Hat Yai airport (you can fly to Bangkok first, then here) and head to Satun pier. From there, a ferry will take you to Koh Lipe in around two hours. This is the best option for those on mainland Thailand, too. You can normally buy packages that include your flight, shuttle and ferry across.
There are regular ferries from Koh Lanta, Phi Phi and Phuket. A ferry from Koh Lanta will take around two and a half hours; from Phi Phi will take about seven hours and from Phuket will take about five hours. Bear in mind that ferry times and crossings may vary depending on the season and weather.
More info can be found here, though it's often best to book any ferries through a travel agent in person. This way, you may be able to get a cheaper rate and avoid the commission rates that website often charge. Check how online prices vary with travel agents and find the best deal.
Take note of what season you are travelling in – there is an immigration office in Koh Lipe for those coming from outside of Thailand, but it's only open during high season (October – May). If you're visiting outside of these dates, you may have to visit the main immigration office in Satun before heading to Koh Lipe.
Anyone already in Thailand is fine to visit whenever they like, bearing in mind that some accommodation and restaurants will close for low season. This island is best visited during the summer months – partially for the perfect weather, but also for ease of travel, organising visas and having regular ferry schedules.
Other Attractions
Koh Lipe beach life is definitely relaxing, but there are other things to do if you fancy something a bit more exciting than sunbathing.
Snorkelling here is pretty good, and the reef around Sunrise Beach has lots to offer. You can also rent out kayaks and paddle around in the sunshine, which is lovely. The ocean tends to be pretty calm here and is normally sheltered from the wind, making it perfect for swimming.
Head out on a Discover Dive or work towards your PADI while enjoying all that the ocean has to offer. Sunrise Beach really has something for everyone! Each Koh Lipe beach has something special to offer, but this one was my favourite.
Yoga is popular here, as it is on every tiny paradise island. Head to Keiritas Yoga studio and get bendy. These Ashtanga-based classes are tiny (expect around five other people, normally) and are really focused on giving you the best possible experience. They also offer mini retreats on the island if you fancy combining yoga and scuba diving!
Walking Street is really fun to wander around in the evening, and has lots of stalls offering tasty food, bespoke jewellery and handmade crafts to take home.This street is also home to a 7-Eleven (mini-mart) and medical centre. There's plenty of street-food to choose from, as well as restaurants and bars. Head to Bombay for incredible Indian food, Nee Papaya for local treats and vegan options, and Elephant for amazing brunches and Western comforts.

Morgan Freeman Issues Strong Statement: I Have Never Committed Sexual Assault!by Hilton Hater at .
No, Morgan Freeman, insists in a new statement:
NOT me too.
In a disturbing new CNN report that came out this week, the veteran actor was accused by eight different women of sexual misconduct and/or harassment.
The authors behind this report said they spoke to the eight women, along with eight separate witnesses, all of whom offered similar descriptions of Morgan's behavior over the years.
For example, one production assistant on the 2017 movie Going In Style told CNN that Morgan "kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear."
He did until a co-star told him to stop.
Then there was a senior production staff member on the set of the 2013 film Now You See Me who told CNN that Morgan made so many inappropriate comments about her attire that she stopped wearing tight articles of clothing around him.
A CNN reporter named Chloe Melas even went on record with the charge that Morgan frequently looked her up and down and referred to as "ripe" when she interviewed the star last year.
Oh, and she was six months pregnant at the time.
In response to these accusations, Morgan said the following on Thursday:
Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy.
I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected - that was never my intent.
Not exactly the most effective apology ever, right?
He's basically saying he did all this stuff, he just didn't mean to offend anyone via his actions.
Now, with his name being associated with others who have been brought down by the #MeToo movement, the 80-year old has issued a far more strongly-worded statement.
He wants to make a few things clear.
"I am devastated that 80 years of my life is at risk of being undermined, in the blink of an eye, by Thursday's media reports," he opened, adding:
"All victims of assault and harassment deserve to be heard. And we need to listen to them. But it is not right to equate horrific incidents of sexual assault with misplaced compliments or humor.
"I admit that I am someone who feels a need to try to make women - and men - feel appreciated and at ease around me.
"As a part of that, I would often try to joke with and compliment women, in what I thought was a light-hearted and humorous way."
In conclusion:
Clearly I was not always coming across the way I intended. And that is why I apologized Thursday and will continue to apologize to anyone I might have upset, however unintentionally.
But I also want to be clear: I did not create unsafe work environments. I did not assault women. I did not offer employment or advancement in exchange for sex.
Any suggestion that I did so is completely false.
This is all well and good and likely true.
But no one has accused Morgan of assault.
They've said he treated women on set with extreme disrespect, basically viewing them as nothing but sex objects.
Is this as bad as actually assaulting them? Of course not.
However, the behavior is still part of a significant issue in society that is thankfully being addressed more and more often these days. It's simply the issue of treating both men and women with equaly amounts of respect.
Morgan is an Oscar winner who is best known for a handful of iconic movie roles.
His most notable films include: Million Dollar Baby, The Shawshank Redemption and Batman Begins.
Let's hope he has learned some valuable lessons from the allegations leveled against him here.

A Look Back at 2017
Category: News and Updates
Date: December 20, 2017
2017 has brought a lot of changes for our firm. We've moved, completed projects and taken on new responsibilities. You'll find some of our favorite highlights below. This year, we:
Celebrated our move. We purchased a building in Downtown Olathe and spent months renovating it. The redesigned space is a reflection of where we are now and where we are going.
Added value to an office park. We worked with Cloverleaf Office Park to create outdoor spaces for their tenants that featured items like a kitchen, firepit and ping pong table.
Joined the board. Supporting licensure for our profession has been important to us for years. As a natural extension of that, Carisa McMullen was named as a member of the Committee on Nominations for the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Board this fall.
Continued traditions. Once again, we participated in Alley Rally, transforming a typical alley into a place where people would like to spend time during Johnson County's Old Settlers Event.
Charretted. A lot. This photo shows us working with Jefferson City Parks, Recreation and Forestry team on their master plan.
Photo by Michael Killeen
Connected with the community. Rachel participated in Explore Design with the Center for Architecture and Design this summer.
Made it into the news. Shannon's work on Hyde Park in St. Joseph, Missouri received some media coverage. You can read about the project here.
Gave back. This Christmas, we shopped for presents for two, middle school students in foster care supported through KVC. We found gifts for a girl age 10 and a boy age 12. Some of the items included a CD player, a soccer ball, a One Direction CD, Twilight movies and earbuds. We also included a couple of clothing items. For more information on this great organization, you can visit https://kansas.kvc.org/.
In addition to all the work we accomplished, we also had some fun! Rachel and Mitch took a ride in a fire truck bucket to see the view that will exist after the tower in McClung Park in Jefferson City, Missouri is complete.
We wrapped up some great projects in 2017 and are excited to share new ones with you as they finish up throughout the year. Next year, look for details on:
- Kansas City's Pet Shelter in Swope Park
- Community Park in Jefferson City, Missouri
- Meadowbrook Park with Johnson County Parks and Recreation
- Central Avenue in Dodge City
- Meadow Lane Trail in Olathe, Kansas
- Gillham Spray Park in Kansas City, MO
- Chouteau Heritage Fountain in Kansas City, MO

The Lure of the Déjà Vu
May 17, 2013, 12:54:33 pm »
Photography of standard sites.
I wonder what the attraction really is; why people do this. I realise that some seek to outdo the existing and definitive master shots from some great snapper of the past and that yet others say that the appeal is to achieve nothing more than their own record of been there - done that. T-shirt photography, then.
It seems a bit of a pointless effort, especially in the day of digital and the time that demands at the altar of the computer. Id have imagined that the thing to do would be to seek out something original, something never seen in a book or a magazine anywhere else. This comes to mind when I look at sites where there are so many alternative versions of Half Dome, El Capitan and that confounded waterfall tumbling down on the right side of the image. (Its almost always on the right cant these snappers change their stance?) Perhaps its part of the psychology running through another thread: the preservation unto posterity of the now anybodys and
now. Yet, if you ever had access to the old Image Bank and Tony Stone stock catalogues, youd have been surprised just how individual many stock shots of standard sites can be. The Image Bank claimed to hold 36,000 trannies of the Eiffel Tower; you can bet they were not identical.
I can certainly get the point of shooting pix of somebody one loves in front of a well-known scene; thats personal, and has every justification I can think of going for it. But remove the personal, and what you got, as they say?
Looking at the current series of images from cjogo, I can understand what
doing, especially now that hes explained that its been in pursuit of gallery material. But so far, I dont see any weak versions of another snappers existing ideas about a given place; I see personal points of view about design being expressed.
The same can be said of Michaels LuLa cover shots: being in a place like Mexico, the lure of cliché must entail a constant battle to avoid it I think he succeeds and comes up with non-clichéd images all his own. Perhaps thats due to the presence of people. Somehow, landscape shooters often fail to make images look personal, either because of the dreaded tripod holes, or a failure to be adventurous with the processing. Possibly, its even a problem associated with great DOF. Whatever the reason, it makes the occasional great shot stand out lonely in the crowd. There are not that many, Im afraid. I think city shooters have a greater chance of scoring a hit.

The obvious:
sites are visually spectacular
others prefer to admire and acquire photographs of places they recognize
easier than searching-out somewhere new and spectacular
Why do musicians play Jazz standards.
Having said that, I'm more likely to acquire an
Emerald Bay
Yosemite Valley
photograph from someone else; and make photographs when I see.

The ONLY time I ever set my sticks in someone else's tripod holes was in Wells Cathedral where I was compelled to pay homage to Frederich H Evans "Sea Of Steps" and much of the purpose was to see what the differences were in the passing of 100 or more years.
There was a time in my advertising days when working for a large food manufacturer (biscuits - or cookies) where the art director would sketch a layout, including placement of key elements) which I would have to trace onto acetate with a rapidograph and then attach to the ground-glass of the 8x10 cameras we used. I hated doing it then and nothing in the intervening 40 years has lessened my sense of displeasure with taking other people's pictures.

1. Many standard sites are visually spectacular.
Yes, I agree that they probably are, but if they are done to death, why not leave the dead in peace?
2. Why do musicians play jazz standards?
I think they do that for a variety of reasons, not least of all that the audience often recognizes them and that helps with the atmosphere (Greatest Hits Syndrome) where they play. Standards are well known by definition and the musicians will probably all be familiar with the structure of the pieces, allowing for a better, more contained combined effort. Where guest players sometimes join in, the well-known numbers are usually the ones that get the spin because of their easily recognized form to all the players.
Not all musicians are particularly creative not any more so than are all snappers; they do what they do according to the music sheet or, if far enough out of that, then play around melody and chord sequences that bring them back to a unified position just in time to go walkies again together.
At least, as a non-musician, thats how it has seemed to me over the years. It isnt as complicated as it looks, thats for sure! If you spend time over a season, going to all the gigs of a particular group of musos, you do realise that they repeat much of the same musical portfolio time after time; it makes their lives simple, the audiences seldom being the same each session. Too much familiarity can breed a certain contempt; well, not contempt, but it isnt difficult to become a little blasé after a while. Its like it must have been living with a Hollywood goddess: the reality must eventually leave you somewhat underwhelmed. So what chance mere mortals with instruments?
I sometimes found myself working to tight layouts too; not a stack of fun, but the nature of some parts of the game.
Much of my life in fashion was relatively free, apart from some Vogue-destined trips where I had to shoot twenty-year-old girls Id never seen before wearing clothes designed for middle-aged ladies-who-lunched. The girls were usually about size 10 and the clothes from the manufacturers were sizes 12 or 14. Farcical. At least the standard collections I used to shoot twice a year were made to suit the models we chose, and it was up to me to do my thing and come up with interesting pics that some unknown (to me) magazine somewhere would want to publish, and that sales reps could give to stores that stocked their range.
Had a giggle: we did a studio shot of my muse in a tank top and hot pants, about to stick a banana into her mouth; we had huge fun that afternoon and never really expected the client would go along with it. He did: it became one of some 60x40 colour prints for their stand, and made the front cover of a Helsinki newspaper reporting their show. Alas, cant scan it: newspaper lost (destroyed by self) along with all the magazines and my other fashion material. What the hell was I thinking when I flew the coop from Britain? Not a damned thing survives from all those years in the rag trade. Maybe self-destruction is built-in; perhaps a kind of safety valve that lets one seek out fresh pastures.
Did anyone see the tv show on the Beeb tonight about F. Scott Fitzgerald? Some fabulous shots of OOF car lights on city streets the programme was also rather interesting; he could have been living the life of a photographer, for all the differences between that and one of writing. On the subject of the car lights: it occurred to me that the images, shot on long lenses, were especially interesting because they werent stills but slowly moving

Why do musicians play Jazz standards.
Getting away from jazz, why would a magician like Perlman play a standard like Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen? Perhaps because no matter how many times you've heard it that music can reach in, grab your heart, and squeeze, especially when Perlman plays it.
I think it's always possible to do something original with a clichéd subject. It just takes a different head doing the something. Every head is unique, but it seems to me most photography of "standard" sites is done without the use of a head.
And yes, Rob, I'm convinced that man and/or the hand of man almost always improves landscape. Maybe you already knew that.

Why? Because it works. Nothing succeeds like success. Cliches are cliches for a reason.
Take a look at the Pantheon of good photography, National Geographic, and see how many Vatican spiral stairs and El Capitan shots won their contests over the years. Look at many other photographic venues, and you'll see even more Vatican spiral stairs and El Capitan among the prize-winners. Works every time. You would think that there is no way to shoot those stairs in an original fashion (and there isn't, or at least those prize winners aren't), but somehow there seems to be something in them, some mystique, perhaps even... The Holy Spirit itself?

I haven't seen NG in years; after all the tv programmes I'm surprised it exists in paper form.
Perhaps in paper format it's a little more sophisticated; on tv it's pure ass-fodder; rainy afternoon filler material because even the dog doesn't want to go out with you. IMO.

The paper version is still around, Rob, and although its editorial material is mostly by Greens bemoaning the demise of various species (according to my historical geology professors a process that's been going on since the first ooze of life) some of the photography is simply magnificent.
An aside: My granddad -- the one with the 5 x 7 view camera and flash powder -- had a shelf in his library with every issue of National Geographic from issue 1. After he died they gave the set to the local library.

Well. What can I say about this one?
A couple of years ago we found out that a professional we hired to do a job did it not only poorly, but WRONG. Badly wrong. Since then it feels like life has been consumed with sorting it out. The anger, the frustration, the worry – it may not seem like it from what you read here, but it has been …. awful. Last week we received word that there was a resolution in sight. Decision time. Choose one path, and things would basically be concluded in a not-great, but not the worst possible, way. Choose to carry on fighting and it could be two or more years before there was any sort of resolution, with no guarantee of a better (and always the possibility of a WORSE) outcome. I don't think either of us were totally HAPPY with the resolution but I know we were BOTH ready for it to be over. But I find myself second-guessing every decision, looking for the path that we might have taken for a better outcome. And I realized that it was time to let it go and just move on. Nothing is going to change where we are now, at this moment, but the future is still unwritten. Time to look ahead rather than back.
There is a fair amount of symbolic things used here – there is a bit of a base of some torn bits of security liners for business envelopes.
The letters were also stamped on that same paper. There is some washi tape and some shiny number tape too
Then, plenty of black and blue – my black mood, having the blues, feeling battered black and blue…take your pick.
Some thread stuck o the page as well, my unravelling, the snarl of emotions, you get the idea…
So do I feel better about it all? Not sure yet. I haven't written the journaling yet – I am rather thinking of using a white gel pen on the white background, maybe around the edges, maybe in the white areas, but I know I will have a LOT to say. Maybe that will mark the turning of the page.
One commenter said "Pretty is over-rated" – well this page isn't pretty, but then it wasn't a pretty situation to be in so I guess that fits symbolically too!
My first two-pages-treated-as-one.
and that rather means getting a good scan of two pages will be tricky. Oh well – something to keep in mind for the future…..

The Chinese conglomerate that owns Hainan Airlines will acquire 10 golf courses for $137.5 million, as part of its effort to boost its portfolio overseas and secure a gateway into the North American golf tourism market.
The seller, Oki Golf, is based in Bellevue, Wash., and all of the properties are in the Seattle region. The sale includes The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge, The Golf Club at Newcastle, Washington National Golf Club, Trophy Lake Golf & Casting, Harbour Pointe Golf Club, The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie, The Plateau Club, and Indian Summer Golf & Country Club.
Scott Oki, a former Microsoft vice president, founded Oki Golf two years after leaving Microsoft. He bought his first course, The Golf Club at Echo Falls in Snohomish, Wash., in 1994. During the next ten years, he added eight more facilities in Washington state.
"While we have been approached several times regarding acquisition, this is the first time, we felt that the vision and opportunity being presented was a strong fit and a natural next step for the evolution of the Oki brand," Oki said in a statement.
The buyer, HNA Holdings Group of Hong Kong, is based in Haikou, Hainan, China. It started as a local aviation transportation operator in 1993, and expanded into tourism, capital and logistics. It offers flights to and from several cities in China and the United States, including Seattle.
HNA Holdings already owns 13 golf facilities and 80 hotels. It owns 11 golf properties in China, including seven on Hainan Island, and two in the United States — Nicklaus Club Monterey in Monterey, California and Somers Pointe Golf Club in Somers, New York.
Xu Haohao, HNA Holding's executive director, said in a statement that the company is positive about global golf tourism due to "the continuing growth in the number and spending of high-net-worth outbound tourists from the PRC".
Nicklaus Design entered into a partnership with HNA in 2013 to redesign and rebrand HNA's courses in China. That followed the rebranding of Nicklaus Club Monterey.
Oki Golf will continue to manage the courses for the next five years under a lease agreement. Oki will pay HNA an annual rent of $7.1 million.
Oki sold Echo Falls to an international investment group last year.
HNA owns Hainan Airlines, China's fourth-largest carrier, which operates seven routes flying to five US cities, including from Beijing to Seattle. The flights could help guarantee the golf courses a certain number of visitors.

Three times in 18 months. That's how many times the residents of Raubsville, PA have lost everything. Everything. Lost to the raging confluence of the Delaware Canal and its big brother river.
"I don't know what to think. Is it global warming? Too much development?" said one resident, I'll call him Tom*, as he sat on the nearly washed out footbridge over the normally placid canal. He stared off at the muddy, oily-smelling water racing just inches below, reminscing about the newly seeded lawn he had planned to hold a July 4 party on. He was just about to move back into his home a year after the flood of April '05 devastated it and everything on Canal St. "We were about to say, 'We're back!'" he said, and shook his head.
Its the same up and down the river. Tom's neighbors spent much of today on the porch watching the water rise, and headed for dry land when it spilled into the first floor. Farther south in Upper Black Eddy, the brown rapids reached to the top of the Route 32 signs on River Rd and almost back to the canal. Yardley and Trenton waited tonight for the river to crest so residents could begin to estimate the damage. Over on the Schuylkill, in Pottstown and Phoenixville and Manayunk, it's more of the same. And we're in one of the lucky areas of Pennsylvania.
I went down to Raubsville today with Pastor Bill Rex and Linda Frey, two of the many Palisades Lutheran Cluster volunteers who've been helping people along the river put their lives back together since Hurricane Ivan "the terrible" baptized the area with a new sense of history in the fall of '04. It will be hard for them, and their fellow volunteers, to see the houses they've mucked and rebuilt once, if not twice, in ruins again. But that's nothing compared to the anguish riverside residents are feeling.
"I don't know what we're going to do," Tom says as he nurses the bandaged hand hurt while rushing to get belongings out of his house, again. His pain is obvious as he talks about the neighbors who have moved on in the wake of the first and second storms, and he wonders how many will stay after Number Three. But he offers a positive spin on his ongoing battle with old man river.
"When the church came down here," he says, nodding to Rex and Frey, "it was beautiful. Going through this is hard, and it was just so important to us to know we weren't going through this alone."
In the midst of an unprecedented series of storms, in low lying strips of land waiting for the Delaware to recede, conversation and construction has made for incarnational ministry -- and it will again. By next weekend volunteers will be mobilizing to once again fill dumpsters with soggy insulation and wallboard, and more priceless memories reduced to pulp. And in the booted feet and gloved hands and masked faces of the volunteers, Christ will again be with those in need. And it will, in Tom's words, be beautiful.
It's pouring again in Bucks County, and the National Weather Service has just added insult to injury, issuing another flash flood warning. Lord, have mercy!
* Not his real name.
P.S. -- My colleague Kay Braun wrote a great prayer that we've distributed to congregations for use this Sunday.
P.P.S. -- I'll try to find time to post some pictures tomorrow.

I have enjoyed the trips I've made to New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the past. It's a good getaway, stopping in the French Quarter for a few minutes before an easy drive up the road. However it's warm, and I can't ever get my wife or kids to come with me. For some reason, they don't seem to enjoy the warm, August Baton Rouge weather. I, however, am looking forward to a jog around University Lake.
This might be the best time to run, but I'll likely be going around when it's sunnier, and a touch warmer.
However if you want to get out of the heat, perhaps you'd like to come learn about Database Version Control with Ike Ellis and me? Redgate Software has partnered with Crafting Bytes to deliver our workshop in Baton Rouge. We've put the workshops on sale, and only $100 for a full day of training.
What will we cover?
We'll show you how to get your database in a Version Control System (VCS). We use Redgate's tools, but the idea of using version control can be done in other ways. I'm running the labs, and you'll see how you can keep track of all of your database DDL code, including Lookup data!
We are also covering some advanced features that the Redgate tools make easier. Things like branching, merging, and deployments. How many of you would love to know that development is done and we can deploy our changes like this:
I'll show you how you can deploy your changes right from inside SSMS.
This is an in-depth workshop, covering way more than I could ever do at a SQL Saturday or conference. What's more, we provide you with a VM and let you actually work through the skills we teach you. You will get real practice during the day to give you the confidence and practice for your own environment back at the office.
I hope to see you at either the workshop or SQL Saturday #423 in Baton Rouge.

Federal corruption trial begins for Steve Stockman, former GOP congressman
A jury was selected Monday in the federal corruption trial of former U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, accused of directing a scheme to divert charitable donations to pay campaign costs and personal expenses.
On Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal explained that the lawyers were looking for jurors who could remain unbiased and refrain from being swayed by sympathy rather than facts.
"This case grows out of politics, but I don't care about politics," the judge said. "I only care if your opinions about politics are so firmly entrenched... for example, you just don't like Republicans or you just don't like Democrats and that's going to reflect in your opinion in this case."
Twelve jurors and four alternates could hear testimony from about 75 witnesses and sift through thousands of pages of evidence in what prosecutors have characterized as a "white-collar crime spree," according to court documents.
The former Republican congressman has insisted he is innocent, and his defense attorney said he never intended to defraud anyone.
A joint team of prosecutors from Houston and the Justice Department's Public Integrity Division contend that with the help of two aides, Stockman syphoned off $1.25 million in donations meant for three U.S. charitable groups and then laundered the money to fund his own campaigns and pay personal expenses without paying taxes on the money.
"The evidence at trial will show that over a four-year period (Stockman) used a series of sham nonprofit entities to raise over $1 million in fraudulent donations," according to trial brief filed recently by Justice Department prosecutor Ryan Ellersick, who alleged the former congressman "funneled the fraud proceeds through a web of shell bank accounts before ultimately using the funds to pay for personal expenses and to illegally finance his campaign for federal office."
Stockman, 61, a resident of Clear Lake, faces 28 criminal counts, including allegations of mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, making false statements to the Federal Election Commission, making excessive campaign contributions, money laundering and filing a false tax return.
Stockman's lawyer, Sean Buckley, said he expects his client to be fully vindicated. He plans to argue that the upstart lawmaker, who opposed big government and failed to unseat Sen. John Cornyn in the 2014 Republican primary, did nothing intentionally wrong.
ACCUSED: Ex-Congressman Stockman accused of stealing $775,000 from foundations, federal courts say
"We are absolutely adamant that he didn't intend to defraud donors or anyone else," Buckley said. "There's no allegation of an extravagant lifestyle. He was always one step away from the poverty line."
Stockman is not currently employed, his lawyer said. His wife works at NASA, but he told a federal magistrate he couldn't afford his own lawyer. Buckley's legal fees are being covered by a friend of Stockman's, whom Buckley declined to name.
RELATED: How former Congressman Steve Stockman ended up with federal charges
Two aides have entered guilty pleas to criminal conduct, and could be called to testify against the former congressman.
Thomas Dodd, a former special assistant in Stockman's congressional office, pleaded guilty on March 20, 2017, to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and make false statements and conspiracy to make conduit contributions. And Jason Posey, pleaded guilty Oct. 11 to mail and wire fraud and money laundering.
IN NEED: Steve Stockman says he can't afford a lawyer, has $100 in bank
Federal investigators allege that between from May 2010 and October 2014, Stockman solicited about $1.25 million in donations based on false pretenses. Stockman allegedly diverted nearly $285,000 donated to charitable causes to pay for his and Dodd's personal expenses.
One example outlined in court documents was a pitch to the director of a charitable group by Stockman and Dodd to construct Freedom House, a project to remodel a house in Washington D.C. where congressional interns could live and be trained. A donor wrote a check for $350,000, and within 24 hours Stockman began using the funds to pay off campaign debts and $32,000 in credit card debt owed by Dodd.
Buckley said he expected the trial would hinge on the context in which the donations were solicited and the allocations were spent. The government will argue that Stockman solicited funds and used them in a self-serving manner, using it for his political campaign or to cover his day-to-day expenses.
The government is expected to present evidence to show that Stockman set out intentionally to commit fraud. Stockman's lawyer said he will argue that the expenditures were legal and handled correctly.
"You have to have the specific intent to defraud (someone)," Buckley said. "Our position is he never acted with an intent to defraud."
"If someone said he could have exercised better judgment about how to use resources or better judgment about how to allocate funds that's different," he said.

I LOVE eggs! My favorite breakfast, of all time, is Eggs Benedict but I will eat them any way I can get them. When I was pregnant with PJ my major craving in the second trimester was scrambled eggs. At first they were the only thing I could keep down as I emerged from the awful period that was the first trimester of my first pregnancy. I ate them every day, sometimes for both breakfast and lunch, until other foods began to sound appetizing again.
When we first came here the thing I looked forward to the most was getting our laying hens. Being able to walk outside and collect all the eggs we could eat, for only a fraction of the store bought price, was quite exciting. Not to mention, our eggs would be healthier and more nutritious than eggs sourced from conventional or even large organic conglomerate (and supposedly pastured) farms. The day we got our first egg (a brown one) I was excited. The day we got our first Americauna egg, well then, then I was ecstatic. Not only are they tasty and good for us but they are cheery to look at. I will never tire of all the different sizes, shapes, hues and speckles or the unexpected excitement of perusing the nest boxes, gently nudging the lazier hens out of the way, to find what they have to offer us both morning and night.
Unfortunately, we are having a similar problem to the Great Tomato Influx of 2012…instead this time we are drowning in eggs. Yes, I see a recurring theme of me, getting overly excited about each new venture, dreaming a smidgen too big, over extending us in the process and then having more of a yield then we can reasonably use. Humph! Thanks for passing that characteristic down to me Dad. Originally we had intended to sell eggs but have had a hard time finding a large enough outlet to sell all that the girls can lay, minus what we can use ourselves. Even though we have shut off the lights in the coop, and spring has most definitely not arrived around these parts, we still have dozens of eggs leftover and the girls continue to lay about a dozen every three days, even without their extended daylight conditions. So I have searched the internet for every egg using recipe I can find. We eat egg salad often. Inhale deviled eggs 2 dozen at a time. I make all forms of custard desserts on a fairly regular basis. I've become a pusher of scrambled eggs, eggs over easy and poached eggs for breakfast and try to throw in a Quiche or Strata for dinner at least once a week. I am not "egged out" yet (probably never will be) but the rest of the crew seems to be over them. If all else fails, and we don't get to them before they start to turn, they are destined for the pigs' slop bucket. Seems like a waste of good eggs to me!
I need inspiration. I need recipes. I need someone to buy all of these darn eggs!
What recipes can you share that would use a boatload of eggs? Because a boatload is most certainly what I've got.

I need both. Just like I need conversation and silence.
Today I am very grateful for:
- the rain! It has been so hot that I needed some cooling off. Actually now we have a little thunderstorm going on
- friendship and true and special friends
- the BEAUTIFUL moment I had with a special friend in her country, Norway
- and all of the presents I got from her: her time, conversation, sharing, caring and things she had made and prepared for me and that she afterwards sent for me via email (like this wonderful christian magazine)
- LOVELY emails
- that I am quite ok despite of falling down yesterday. I once wrote about these health issues. Due to those my steps are not always steady and yesterday it happened that I fell. I hurt my leg quite badly but it could have been so much worse.
- the recent family vacation we had in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. We had such a great time there together.
- new yarn and many ideas - too many actually :)
- new knitting patterns
- that my summer cotton knit ( kind of a t-shirt) is all done - hurray!! It is a simple little knit but still - hurray!!
- the chocolate cake that is waiting for our family in the kitchen - it is a dessert after dinner but I have difficulties to be patient :)
- some new finds:
- Jordyn's blog I found today
- Melisa's blog and DIY ideas like this leather journal and this dream keeper
1. Me wearing a cowl this beautiful lady kindly made for me! Cowl love! /Norway.
2. Hammars backar /Southern Sweden
3. A.C. Perchs tearoom /Aarhus, Denmark
4. Me on a beach crocheting in silence /Mossby Sweden
5. + 6. + 7. Waffles and tea with a true friend tasting the teas and admiring the tings we gave to each other and :) /Norway
I am wishing you a lovely day!!
I really enjoy my visits in inspirational blogs. One of my favourites is Vibeke's A Butterfly in my hair and it was there where I found this idea of a Gratitude Sunday last year. Vibeke wrote that she tries to join in on Gratitude Sunday with Taryn and all the others over at her blog Wooly Moss Roots. I am thankful for this lovely idea for Taryn and for Vibeke who brought this to my attention.
Almost exactly a year ago I started listing things I am grateful for here in english (In finnish I have done that on and off for years in my private diary). Those most important things I am grateful for in my life like my family and faith are the same as mentioned here. I have so much to be grateful for. We all do.

1955 Buick Super Riviera 2d Ht
Solid California survivor.
This is a fullsize Buick Super Riviera model 56R, a 6 passenger car with a stretched out 127 " wheel base, and 236 hp 322 cui Nailhead engine. The car only has 3 previous owners and has been in California it's whole life. The previous owner only used it a few times a year the past 10 years and the car has mainly been stored inside during that time.
It is all original and untouched with the exception of a minor damage repair on the rear of the passenger side quarter panel done many years ago. It still has the original interior. The plastic cover is actually still on the back seat and I recently peeled it off to take a picture The fabric is still intact and in good condition!! It has the original carpet, tough in a frail condition.
The front seat is worn, but is still usable and has cushion. The door panels and headliner is still stock, and in good shape. The chrome is in ok condition, with some pitting and surface rust. No rust holes in the bumpers, grille or other chrome pieces. It is a complete car, and is only missing some minor emblems. The glass is intact and I can not find any cracks, chips or other damage.
This is a low mileage car. The 322 cui engine runs very great and smooth, no leaks or rattles. I suspect it has been rebuilt recently. The Dynaflow transmission shifts very smooth and effortless. Old receipts show it was rebuilt around 2006. The car has Power steering and Power breaks that works and the Buick really is a pleasure to drive.
The body appears rust free, and is really straight. No rust in the floor pans, or trunk area. Minor rust in one of the hood corners. The hood has minor cracks on a few places by the hinges, but is repairable. The doors shut and close with ease, and all windows roll up and down.
The dash is unmolested, and the gauges work. Most of the lights work, but the wiring should be gone thru. Nothing has been cut or modified as far as I can tell. The car runs great on the streets, but I would recommend checking the brakes and all other safety aspects on the car since it has been sitting for a while, before driving it daily. It has new shock absorbers and exhaustsystem.
This 1955 Buick Riviera has the attractive big body and is the very beautiful sought after HT version. A great car to restore, customize or just simply use the way it is with it's attractive California patina. It has of course the original California black plates.
I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if a local offer is presented to me.
Please call or email me if you have any questions or would like to see more pictures.

The Analytics of the Wage Effect of Immigration
NBER Working Paper No. 14796
The theory of factor demand has important implications for the study of the impact of immigration on wages. This paper derives the theoretical implications in the context of a general equilibrium model where the wage impact depends on the elasticity of product demand, the rate at which the consumer base expands as immigrants enter the receiving country, the elasticity of supply of capital, and the elasticity of substitution among inputs of production. The constraints imposed by the theory can be used to check the plausibility of the many contradictory claims that appear throughout the immigration literature.

text: Santa Barbara Modern Quilt Guild- Charity Quilt Posted on July 12, 2011 NOTE TO VISITORS: my camera is in the shop 😦 until who knows when. the following photos, were taken with my iPhone!! The quality is not great but it works in a pinch. A few months back I volunteered to baste and quilt a charity quilt that our guild members created last year. Two of our members came up with a block challenge- come up with a 12.5 inch block with a star theme. We had so many blocks, we were able to turn them into two pretty good size lap quilts; thanks to our amazing Irelle!!! Now we are deciding where they will be most needed and loved. I was thrilled to be able to contribute to this project and get some free motion quilting practice. As I was basting and quilting this I kept marveling at all the precision and really top notch piecing that went into each block. Excuse the pins still in there, I was trying to get a shot before the light went away. And here they are all together. Now to find a good home for this quilt. Thanks members, you are all so talented!! And of course, special thanks to Irelle, our prolific and energized quilt top sewer , and hopefully binder on this quilt. Great job! BTW- my block ended up in the other quilt top- in case you were wondering.

Union claims pics from prison 'strip show' were manipulated
The Public Servants Association of SA (PSA) has claimed that viral photos of female dancers entertaining inmates at a Johannesburg prison on Youth Day were manipulated.
We are in possession of the correct photographs and we disagree with the photos placed on social media.Monica Venter, Provincial Manager at the Public Servants Association
Thirteen officials were investigated and four have so far been suspended after the pictures emerged.
Read: Strippers 'entertain' inmates at Johannesburg Prison
The PSA represents the majority of the suspended Correctional Services officials and claims the images are not an accurate representation of what happened at the event.
PSA provincial manager Monica Venter says the union is in possession of the correct images which depict a professional dance group that is "fully clad in the appropriate, suitable dancing attire [like tights] and not half naked as was alleged."
When asked if the PSA could provide the evidence, Venter said the photographs are sub judice and will not be revealed to avoid jeopardising the pending disciplinary cases.
The photos were taken inside the prison while the show was taking place.Monica Venter, Provincial Manager at the Public Servants Association
According to Venter, the PSA does not intend providing the images to the Correctional Services Department.

A very special Ed xxx
27 comments:
So sad for you. Eddie has the same head markings as our one, such an affectionate breed.ReplyDelete
Oh, how sad. Our dog's sister lives just over the road and often pops round for a playdate by herself - she whines at the door until we let her in. I can't imagine how sad you must be feeling xxxReplyDelete
Sad news... but good memories Kerry. XXXXReplyDelete
I'm so sorry for your loss Kerry!ReplyDelete
Touch my heart...my daughters first Cavie, Tristan, who looked remarkably like Eddie, passed away from cardiomyopathy in 2011, we lost his son, Will Turner, a tricolor, to the same disease about a year later. Tris' was born in Kent and was shipped to Midwestern US, then found by my daughter and shipped here to Idaho. We always joked that he barked with a British accent :-) Now only his daughter Belle is left, for how long we don't know as she had developed a heart murmur as well, and so begins the long road of medications once again. If only this loving little breed who steals our hearts didn't so quickly break them as well, but they leave us with so many precious memories...ReplyDelete
Eddie looks very sweet indeed.ReplyDelete
I feel for/with you!

I'm so sorry. My pets are such an important part of our family too. We lost our little basset girl just in January. I think of her every day. Peace to you sweet Eddie.ReplyDelete
What a sweet, sad post. My dogs are such a huge part of my family. Losing one so young is heart-wrenching.ReplyDelete

I'm so sorry, I fully and recently understand the sudden loss of a much to young pet. I didn't know our hearts were so tangled in our fur babies but quickly found out just how much... My husband and I both were heartbroken. Please extend a hug to your friend, tell them love and prayers from Abbeville, Alabama. I told our sweet Lucy to find her a friend in Heaven so I hope she was standing at the gate waiting for your little Eddie!ReplyDelete
I´m sorry to read about Eddie, receive a hug from Santiago, Chile.ReplyDelete
Hi Kerry, so very sad :-( Eddie looked adorable. Our tri cav Dylan is now 13 & 1/2, when he was 3 we were told he wouldn't live very long as he has syringomyelia, but he proved everyone one wrong,now sadly he is stumbling much more, though he is as fiesty as ever. So each day is precious. They are such adorable, kind and gentle souls, who just love to be snuggled up next to you. xReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time out to leave your thoughts, I do very much appreciate you stopping by! Blogger is not sending comments through by email at the moment so I'll reply in the comments.

Florida (-3) over South Carolina
It's hard to bet against what South Carolina has going right now, especially after watching Florida piss down their leg against Wisconsin before Chris Chiozza bailed everybody out. However, this is the first time in the tournament the Gamecocks are playing someone that's really equipped to handle their pressure defense AND can match it on the other end. Obviously, these two teams have met before. They played a home-and-home this year. USC scraped one out at home, while Florida rolled in Gainesville. The Gators just have more guys who can make individual plays offensively. I remember that game in Columbia very fondly because I was on the Gators. Florida went 0-17 from three and 15-28 from the free throw line and lost by a whopping four points. It's been a nice run for the Gamecocks, but I think it's over.
Kentucky (+2.5) over North Carolina
I went back and forth on this, but I guess I'll just stick with who I picked before the tournament started. It's not the greatest matchup for Kentucky, but they still have the better guards and it's not by a particularly small margin, if you ask me.

Was a UFO Spotted Over East Texas?
It's not a bird, it's not a plane and it's definitely not Superman -- it's a UFO. What was that in the sky yesterday in Jacksonville? This image appeared on Google Maps when when someone Googled Jacksonville, Texas.
The UFO was discovered when Andrea Dove of Houston was getting directions to visit her aunt in Jacksonville. If you select street view and pan around you'll see an unusual floating object with a familiar shape.
You don't even have to put in a street -- just Jacksonville, TX. and go to street view, then pan around, and there it is.
The object was shot right by the Landmark building at the Highway 69 and 79 intersection, Home of Sadler's Restaurant. And across the street there's a Taco Bell.
When folks tried it for themselves, they found the reddish spot near the clouds. No one in Jacksonville however, has reported seeing a UFO.
Makes ya go "hum, what could it be?" Some say it could be a flare from a camera lens.
What do you think?

The Taliban in Afghanistan issues a new code of conduct aimed at centralizing control of the mujahideen under the leadership of Mullah Omar and winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the local population by limiting civilian casualties.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Middle East envoy George Mitchell visit the Middle East this week in an attempt to revive the peace process there. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak tells Gates that "no option should be removed from the table" regarding Israel's response to Iran's nuclear program, while Barak and Mitchell near an agreement on West Bank settlement activity.
North Korea says it is open to engaging in bilateral talks with the U.S. regarding its nuclear weapons program, but is not interested in reviving the six-party talks that included China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea.
