The next blockbuster exhibition that’ll be taking over your social media feed looks likely to be Minimalism: Space. Light. Object. Taking place across both the National Gallery Singapore and the ArtScience Museum (a collaboration between the two), the five-month exhibition running till April 19 is reportedly the first survey of Minimalist art held in Southeast Asia — featuring 150 works from over 80 artists and 40 composers, across both venues. But first, you don’t want to walk into the exhibition without at least knowing the base premise of Minimalism. It was a significant movement with American roots that date back to the ’60s, cutting across various mediums such as art and music that partially arose as a reaction against the Abstract Expressionism of earlier decades. Defining characteristics include an emphasis on materials (usually utilitarian or industrial in nature), geometric or architectural structures/silhouettes and basically, cutting out superfluous, gestural details. Now that’s enough with the art blather (thanks Google) — above, the pieces that caught our eye. What Would You Gift Someone Who Has It All? Inspired by the famous rock gardens of Japan, Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum’s installation looks like a clock but it’s really quite existential. The arms simultaneously create and erase concentric circles in the sand, meant to signify existence and non-existence.

"This building was built in 1961 and was part of a national initiative, with grassroots support. It was built in anticipation of the National Park Service's 50th anniversary. In 1961 this facility was state-of-the-art and was dressed with the latest design and decor of the time. It was heralded for its use of modern material and geometric design elements. The building is Mid-Century Modern architecture and the philosophy behind this style of architecture is the desire to bring the outside, or nature, into the building - and the building out into nature. We did not want to lose that vision - although much of what made this building so amazing in 1962 had been lost through time over the years. We wanted to reclaim that early day vision - that connection with the outdoors, and especially with this historic place that we all know as Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve. To make the most of this structure and to do it justice would not be an easy task. As we all know, this is a very complex place. It is a National Park with a Historic Reserve and numerous partners. It is also a place with seemingly unlimited stories, spanning pre-contact to 20th century, and from indigenous American Indians to U.S. soldiers. I have never shied way from this complexity as distracting or confusing, but recognized that this place has a power which emanates from its many stakeholders and descendant communities. Unlike the many other special places that we Americans hold in our hearts, this urban National Park and Historic reserve is more than one historic building, or one history or the commemoration of one event. All of the histories - indigenous peoples, Lewis and Clark, fur trade, Oregon Trail, aviation,military history from the early 19th century up and through World War II - are interconnected and critical, essential elements of this place. It is our interconnected stories that lure many, many different people to this place and will always make us relevant. This newly rehabilitated historic building is the centerpiece of the National Park and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve. It is warm and welcoming. It is designed to be open and dynamic, with rotating exhibits and hands-on activities for visitors to explore. Our exhibits are inclusive and theme related. This is not a traditional Visitor Center, it will give voice to the many people and stores; those better known and those not well known. It is also here for the community, and will be host to many lectures, meaningful events, and important meeting opportunities. Ultimately, for those visiting this place of the first time, this Center is here to whet your appetite and provide you with a few 'ahas' and surprises, but then to entice you to get out and spend time in the venues of Fort Vancouver and the Historic Reserve. …It seems fitting that we are opening this Center as we begin celebrations for the Park's 100th anniversary. What a wonderful gift to give to our community, our region, and our nation!"

Germany's equivalent of the CIA, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), has been given a new set of tasks - three years too late. But whether or not they will have to counter Russian election hacking remains speculation. The BND's official new "task profile" (given the acronym APB) will come into force this week, according to anonymous security sources quoted in "Die Welt" newspaper on Wednesday. The directive is supposed to be issued by the government every four years to determine what areas its spies are to concentrate on. But since the last APB was issued in 2009, it seems that the latest one is three years overdue. And there is much media speculation that the fallout from Edward Snowden's revelations about the cooperation between the US National Security Agency and the BND led to the delay. Snowden's leaks showed that the BND had spied on European allies on the NSA's behalf, and in 2015, the German government announced that the BND's work would be overhauled - a measure that led to a new "BND law" being passed in parliament in November last year. Christian Flisek, Social Democrat Bundestag member and part of the parliamentary inquiry into NSA activities in Germany, was in no doubt that this led to the delay. "Through the parliamentary inquiry we uncovered significant wrongdoing, particularly violations of German law and against German interests," he told DW. "Measures were taken that were not covered in the task profile, which seems to have been the reason why [the government] took its time with the new profile, and revised it. They almost certainly waited for the BND reforms last year too." For some MPs on the parliamentary committee, it was vital to be able to view the APB, so as to see whether the BND had exceeded its remit by helping the NSA - which, it emerged, it had. "The NSA affair played a role in the delay because the key question was who can be a surveillance target for the BND. At first they didn't know whether to draw up a brand new task profile straight away," said Andre Hahn, Left party representative on the oversight committee. "The point was that the order profile was much too broad - which is why many people said the BND went beyond its competences, e.g. when it spied on European institutions and governments." "I always said it was unacceptable - we're supposed to check whether the BND acts properly according to its tasks, but we don't even know what its tasks are," Hahn told DW. "And meanwhile a CIA spy already has the document." The APB is put together by the government, and though individual ministries are allowed to suggest topics of interest, it remains a top secret document. But the four-year cycle, as well as the weight of national security, means that what is made public about the APB is necessarily vague. According to the BND's website, the current focuses of the BND include "proliferation, international terrorism, state failure or conflicts over resources" and that current priority regions include the Middle East, North Africa, as well as West and Central Asia. And yet, there is no reason to believe that this list is exclusive, and the document itself is not even given to the Bundestag's intelligence oversight committee. On top of this, the BND's instructions are obviously adapted during the course of the four years anyway, as Wolfgang Krieger, Marburg-based professor and member of an independent commission on the BND's history, explained. "If a conflict breaks out in Syria or Iraq or wherever, it is included in the BND's tasks," he said. "And there are additional instructions from the chancellery to the BND about what exactly they should do. The APB is just a general directive, so to speak." Nevertheless, it's importance can't be underestimated. "The APB contains the main thematic and regional informational targets of our foreign secret service," said Flisek. "To make it public in parliament would be unthinkable - it wouldn't be in our interests and by the way that isn't the case in any country in the world." The BND, which has only 6,500 officers, is a fraction of the size of the CIA and the NSA: "It can't even cover all crisis countries, which is why the APB defines the priorities," said Flisek. Krieger thinks the spectacular case of the informant Markus R. also played a part in causing the delay. Markus R. was a BND officer arrested in 2014 for selling over 200 secret documents to US intelligence agencies, and sentenced to eight years in prison in March last year - following a trial in which Krieger was an expert witness. "One of the documents he gave to the Americans was the task profile from 2009," Krieger told DW. "Because of that, the Bundestag said: if it's been revealed in a court, it's not justifiable that the parliamentary oversight committee is not allowed to see it." The government relented and gave the APB to the MPs, and though the document was never leaked, some of its details made it into the German press, which meant it was, in Krieger's word, "compromised." It remains unclear whether these leaks came from the Bundestag or from the CIA, but as things stand, the new APB will not be released to the parliamentary committee. Nevertheless, opposition politicians on the intelligence oversight committee are lobbying to be given access to the document - even if they're not allowed to actually get a copy. Following revelations that Russia may have intervened in the US presidential election and may have helped get Donald Trump elected, there has been speculation in the media that the Kremlin would seek similar influence over Germany's election this September. Krieger could only speculate whether countering that threat would be one of the BND's new tasks, but he argued that the whole issue was overblown anyway. "This whole circus that was made over in the US about intervention in the election campaign - that's always existed," he said. "States have always financially supported or provided information to certain interest groups or certain publications or press organizations in other states. I don't know what's new about that - the only new thing is that the internet has created new ways to influence politics, and that social media has made it impossible to tell who is actually spreading what news."

The Remarkables ski field near Queenstown got down to business yesterday, 48 hours early. Regular snow over the last few weeks and busy work with snow-making gear gave field managers confidence that most runs were ready for customers. Area manager Ross Lawrence said: "We have been grooming and preparing trails. It's great to see so many snow addicts up here getting back on the boards and boots, and loving it." Two other Central Otago fields have held pre-season open days after early winter snow and cold days created promising conditions on the slopes. Coronet Peak and Cardrona held one-off opening days ahead of scheduled June 16 openings. A warm front is expected to push northwards over the country during the day, WeatherWatch says, although another front coming through will keep temperatures down. Meanwhile the country can expect more settled but still cold weather in the weekend after gales and heavy rain. WeatherWatch's Aaron Wilkinson said a large high in the Tasman Sea was directing a southwesterly airflow over New Zealand. MetService said the front, which produced snow to low levels in the South Island was crossing the North Island. "Significant snow" was expected in parts of central North Island above 500m, with 5cm-8cm expected at the top of Desert Rd.

There’s something pretty great about kicking back with a cold, fresh margarita on a week night. I’ve recently been dabbling in mixing drinks and am having so much fun. On the day I made these, I did the unthinkable. I opened the windows and sliding door (to the deck) in our dining room area. It was finally over 40 degrees and I took advantage of it. I wanted some fresh air as I sipped my margarita and flipped through the latest issue of Food and Wine magazine. Katy Perry was playing in the background and I was just happy. Casa Noble ultra premium tequila begins with carefully selected mature Blue Agave plants, which have met strict requirements for water and sugar content. They employ only traditional methods and slow cook their rich agave piñas for 38 hours in stove ovens. Then, using only the core and heart of the agaves, they extract the sweet nectar. Their fermentation process is 100% natural, followed by triple distillation. The result is a tequila so pure and full of Agave flavor that it has elevated the concept of tequila to new levels around the world. I couldn’t wait to try this tequila. And I knew I had to mix up something special . . so I bought some navel oranges, blood oranges (gotta get them fast while they are still in season!) and fresh sage and went to work. I’m no tequila expert but the Casa Noble Tequila was so smooth and these Blood Orange Margaritas were so delicious! If you’re looking for a new margarita recipe. . you must try this! MAKE AHEAD: The margarita recipe can be prepared through Step 1 and refrigerated, covered, overnight. Using a large pitcher or large cocktail shaker, mix the fresh orange juice with the lime juice, Cointreau and Casa Noble silver tequila. Refrigerate until chilled, for at least 30 minutes. Spread a small mound of kosher salt on a plate. Moisten the outer rim of 2 martini glasses with the blood orange wedge, then dip the rims into the salt to lightly coat. Add ice to the pitcher or cocktail shaker and stir or shake well, then strain into the prepared glasses. Garnish each margarita with a blood orange slice and a sage sprig and serve. Disclosure: I was provided the Casa Noble Tequila for review purposes and a small stipend to purchase ingredients. I was not compensated for this post. As always, all opinions expressed here are 100% my own. Thanks so much, Allie! You have to try this margarita! delicious! Oh, this looks so refreshing! I’ve been really into blood orange cocktails lately especially after my friend’s distillery came out with the blood orange vodka. Will have to go back and look at your gin drink also! Thanks so much, Bee!!! How are you? Thank you so much!! Happy Earth Day! Wow – this is a gorgeous looking drink! Orange is my favorite color, so you know I’m totally digging this! Pinned! That is one gorgeous cocktail! Love your use of blood oranges here! Thanks so much, Carrie!! You have to try it! I so want one right now! It would definitely make my work day go by faster. I love blood orange. Wow sipping on cocktail on a lovely day, while listening to music and flipping through good reads sounds heavenly! Thank you, Aera! That was a rare day! Nice! That tequila sounds divine! Real margaritas are my drink of choice. Can’t wait for the warm weather to stick around so I can start making some. Try mixing sugar and salt for the rim….sweet and salty! Try mixing sugar and salt for the rim…sweet and salty!

Castor Gardens is a neighborhood in the lower Northeast section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Castor Gardens' borders are ill-defined, but it exists in the vicinity of Castor and Cottman Avenues. It is also near Roosevelt Boulevard. The neighborhood can either be entered from the south, by taking the Oxford Circle exit of Roosevelt Boulevard, or from the north, by taking the Cottman Avenue exit. Adjacent neighborhoods are Mayfair, Lawndale, Burholme, Oxford Circle, and Rhawnhurst. Castor Gardens uses the zip codes 19111 and 19149. The area is served by Roosevelt Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in Philadelphia, the Northeast Regional Library branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the District 10 Health Center of the city of Philadelphia. The brick colonial homes of Castor Gardens were considered more prestigious than the row homes located south of Magee Avenue, which were part of the neighborhood known as Oxford Circle (getting its name from the traffic circle located at the juncture of Oxford Avenue, Castor Avenue, and Roosevelt Boulevard, formerly known as Hunter's Circle). As the neighborhood developed, the area between Magee and Cottman Avenue, Whitaker Avenue and Castor Avenue was mostly semi-detached and detached homes. To differentiate this area from the row homes south of Magee and east of Castor Avenue, the use of the name Castor Gardens began in the 1950s. As people began to indicate a preference for Castor Gardens as opposed to Oxford Circle, the name was applied to a larger and larger area, first encompassing the newest row homes in the area (north of Tyson Avenue) and eventually encompassing the entire area formerly known as Oxford Circle, while that name was relegated to the homes located south of Oxford Avenue which were older and smaller homes mostly built in the 1920s and 1930s. The housing stock in Castor Gardens were built as early as the 1930s, with construction halted during the years of World War II. The housing boom after World War II fueled additional construction, with the last homes being built on streets located along Cottman Avenue in 1956. Some spot building (building completed on a lot by lot basis) continued to the present day. The Woodrow Wilson Junior High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Historically, Castor Gardens was a primarily white, middle class Jewish community. Over the past decade, the area has experienced significant change with the integration of Koreans, Cambodians, Hispanics, Arabs, and African Americans. Political leaders of note who were residents of Castor Gardens at one time include former Councilman at Large Jack Kelly (politician), former Congressman Charles F. Dougherty, the late Congressman Joshua Eilberg, and the late leader of the Northeast Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center Anthony Iannerelli. Philadelphia Controller Alan Butkovitz currently resides there with his wife Theresa. Rep. Mark Cohen has long resided there with his wife Mona. A Democratic stronghold, the area is split into many political districts. It is represented in Congress by Bob Brady and Allyson Schwartz, in the Philadelphia City Council by Maria Quiñones-Sanchez and Bobby Henon, in the Pennsylvania State Senate by Mike Stack and Christine Tartaglione, and in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by Jared Solomon and John Sabatina. The Woodrow Wilson Middle School, 1800 Cottman Avenue, is in Castor Gardens. ^ "Bushrod Branch." Free Library of Philadelphia. Retrieved on November 7, 2008.

At a time when the conservative upper-class Bengali society kept their women confined to ‘Andarmahal’ (inner chambers), Rabindranath Tagore was privileged to have grown up in a household that nurtured the most progressive strong-willed, independent, and talented women that India had seen. They had a profound influence in Tagore’s life as well as in his works. Every year, on Tagore’s birth anniversary or Rabindra Jayanti, India’s global poet, song-writer, and philosopher, is commemorated all over the world through his songs, poetry, and dramas. This year the Bengal Heritage Foundation (BHF) will celebrate Rabindra Jayanti through the women in Tagore’s life and his works. The hour and half long program will take place at Nehru Centre, the cultural wing of Indian High Commission in London, on 10thMay 2019 from 6.30 pm. The event is open to all. The evening will be celebrated through songs (Rabindra Sangeet), poetry, and dance all written and composed by Tagore. In addition to celebrating women in his dance-dramas such as Chitrangada and Chandalika, the members of BHF also bring a unique performance called ‘Sruti Kabya’ or visual poetry which will bring to life the important and influential women in Tagore’s life and inspiration for some of his best poetry and song-lyrics – his sister-in-law and confidante in his youth Kadambari Devi, his unsung and rarely mentioned wife Mrinalini Devi to his Argentenian muse Victoria Ocampo.

Alternative lending is one of the hottest FinTech segments that attracts attention from the corporate sector as a logical continuation and source of potential clients. It also serves the goal of democratizing financial services for those who don’t qualify for a bank loan. Terms and conditions of alternative lenders seem to be more attractive as they employ various models, bringing down the costs of service and ensuring the best offer. However, alternative lending has certain downsides that are often not mentioned. Some short-term advantages of alternative lending options may turn to long-term disadvantages. One of the details a regular consumer doesn’t often notice because of the sophisticated product presentation is an APR. While short-term interest rates offered by alternative lenders seem extremely attractive, the annualized rate often exceeds 100%. Since such APRs are illegal to pass onto the consumers of a loan, alternative lenders may use a loophole, which is avoiding classification of their product as a loan. In that case, the product and the interest rate can slip through the hands of the state and federal regulations. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has explored the matter and brought an example of the state of California, where the state lending law applies to installment loans but it does not apply to cash advances, which are technically a purchase of future revenue for a fee. The companies that don’t classify to be regulated, choose to disclose their rates in “the cents charged per dollar borrowed” instead of standard terms (APR). It covers the actual astronomical rate and makes it more difficult for individuals and businesses to estimate the potential expenses and make a fair comparison with other options. Getting on hook with tailored to be attractive numbers, in a long-term, businesses often face the necessity to take another cash advancement to finance the previous one. This practice is called “stacking.” Stacking is a sign that a particular business is facing cash flow challenges. The problem of stacking becomes clear when a small business has to make several “cash advancement” payments a day, which may result in a quarter of their daily cash at the end of the day. When the cash flow becomes overburdened with previous loans, an entrepreneur would logically look for another loan. At some point, the business wouldn’t be able to obtain a loan because upon assessment for approval, the cash flow problem will come up. In the most dramatic scenario, the business will have to be shut down due to insufficiency of cash flow and stacked loans. Another problem with alternative lending is that in some cases, these loans do not contribute positively to the credit score. Since “cash advancement” providers do not fall under the lens of a regulator, they are not obligated to report debts and repayments, which they sometimes don’t. WEF suggests an interesting reason to that – competition. Knowing that the list of borrowers can be purchased, alternative lenders do not wish to share their debt portfolio information because they know that the competitors may market their products to their customer base to stack the loans. Some alternative lenders simply can’t report the debt and repayment information because their products are not classified as loans at all. The lack of credit reporting is disadvantageous both for borrowers and for financial institutions. The first ones can’t contribute to the improvement of their credit history even if they repay the loan in a timely manner. The second ones don’t have access to the full information about the applicant that may have a good or bad credit history with an alternative lender. The problem is especially sharp when it comes to immigrants and their businesses. As they are often not qualified for a bank loan due to the lack of history with financial institutions in the country, they are forced to use the services of alternative lenders. And even if the experience is positive, they don’t get a chance to improve their situation with the corporate players.

QR code should contain a string like ?secret=X1A3C7... which is missing. atm there is only otpauth://totp/<custom-string>?issuer=<custom-string2> within the QR code. roundcubemail 1.4-0 is still beta. can you try with current stable v1.3.8 from upstream, pls? For TOTP a quick and dirty fix may be applied (at your own risk, of course). Find the following code in "lib/Kolab2FA/Driver/TOTP.php" // PHP gets a string, but we're comparing integers. This eliminates tons of warnings in the log. Needs to be verified by the developers. This also needs to be verified by the developers. It is a quick and dirty fix to get things running in my test environment. Please be aware that it works on MY machine with roundcube 4 beta on Ubuntu 18.04 with nginx and php 7.2. It might not work on your system or the original code may work as expected. So if you run into trouble with missing secret in the QR, the fix above might help. I didn't get it to work with the Google Authenticator - but FreeOTP works. Might have to do with my decision to use sha256. It is a fork which fixes some issues with deprecated dependencies and TOTP problems. Would love to receive feedback - works perfect for me. This isn't a Kolab bug, nor a bug in the master branch of kolab-plugins that provides kolab_2fa, that closely follows the roundcube upstream master branch. Please don't expect a DIY mix-and-match to end up in a supported environment.

The Dutch Soil Quality Decree (Besluit bodemkwaliteit) imposes conditions on the use of soil, dredging spoil and building materials on or in the ground or in surface water. In most cases, you must report the use of building materials, soil and dredging spoil. Where and when you must report this depends on the use. In many cases, you must report to the Soil Quality Reporting CentreExternal link (Meldpunt bodemkwaliteit, Rijkswaterstaat Environment). You must demonstrate the quality of building materials, soil and dredging spoil with an environmental health statement. For building materials, you must also have a delivery note. You keep these documents for five years.

This is a guest post by Miguel Pinto, the former CEO and CTO of Rocket Internet’s Porto Tech Center. As many of you know, finding quality tech talent is one of the most challenging tasks you will encounter when you start or want to grow your project. The demand is great and the supply is reasonably limited if you consider the buzz around the international startup scene. Now imagine you have to hire a high number of programmers in a very short time and create big scale projects with hundreds of thousands of visits a day, growing at a fast pace and under immense pressure. This is what I encountered when I was at the Porto Tech Center and was in charge of over 140 programmers within six months, handling big projects like Zalando, Jumia and Lazada, and foodpanda. This may look like a mission impossible but let me tell you, it is not. There are a couple of tricks and techniques you can use to speed up your hiring and onboarding processes, and to manage the performance of your team. Following ‘lean’ principles, you start by identifying the questions and seeking the answers, and defining your objectives and long and short term strategies using small iterations with clear objectives. Then you analyse the results to identify problems and adapt to solutions, testing them in short cycles and leveraging the lessons learned in each cycle. Let’s use a hypothetical startup called Hyper Speed Development Systems, or HSDS for short. The company has a CEO, a CTO, an HR professional, one team leader and two developers, and it needs to find 20 additional developers and four team leaders. How is the current team’s daily life? How do they interact with each other? What type of personality does each member have, and how does that define the personality of the team as a whole? How big is the ideal team? What is the role of a team lead? What are their daily functions? What technologies do they use? What can be improved in order to make the team’s working experience more pleasant? These kinds of questions will help you define the type of candidate you are looking for, aside from the technical expertise required – being very good technically does not necessarily mean that person will integrate well with the rest of the team, and you need a nice stable team. Having answered those questions, you now know the team’s personality and thus what type of person would be a good fit, and this will help you when evaluating a candidate. So you define an offer, and post it on job boards, the company’s website and social networks accounts. What next? There are a few other ways to spread the word. You can find groups on social networks dedicated to those technologies, join them and then share your offer. Or you can join a local or national group for those technologies. In our case, we are looking for PHP user groups, and UX/frontend related user groups, forums and meetings. Don’t just post job ads in these groups; connect with them, encourage your existing teams to participate in them, sponsor an event once in a while if you can – it’s usually not too expensive and the return on investment can be huge. Make sure your HR team knows the concepts behind the technologies you use and that they understand how things work (in theory they don’t need to know how to program, just the concept). This will help them better filter the candidates sent to technical interviews. Use the knowledge you gain about your own team to evaluate the candidates as well, and make sure you won’t create conflicts within the team. Ask if the candidate has any project online that you can check out, ask for code examples or collaborations with open source projects, and obtain links to the candidate profile on code sharing sites like github or bitbucket so the CTO can better evaluate the quality of the work before the technical interview. By reducing the amount of candidates you send for technical review, you are giving your CTO more time to focus on the system and guiding the teams rather than on interviews. After you have identified a promising candidate, don’t take weeks to make a decision – good candidates may well have found another job in the meantime, so be quick about it. Make sure to follow up with your team from time to time, checking how its personality changes and adapts with each new member. Each new addition will trigger changes in a team’s overall behavior, and you should track those changes from the beginning, regularly evaluating a new member’s integration over the first few months. This will help you better understand your team over time and make your connection with them stronger, which will in turn will provide you with more detailed information on the team’s performance and problems helping you modify your strategies accordingly. Avoid non-technical problems from affecting developers. Having a good CTO and a good overall plan will help you define goals and features for the team to develop in short cycles, providing you with the feedback you need to shape your product and company. It also avoids developers doing unnecessary work. They hate seeing hours of work thrown away without any logical reason. If you follow the plan you won’t change your mind in the middle of development, and if after testing a feature with clients you need to pivot (alter, add or remove functionality and/or characteristics) you have valid reasons for it, so let your team know, let them feel that is not their fault and that you appreciate the effort they put into building it. Try and be open and available for your team, and be vigilant of their state of mind. Even if it takes more time to open up or create a connection, IT people are like most other people in that they have highs and lows. By listening to your team members, you will know how they feel regarding themselves, their life and their work. This will help you see in advance possible problems or mood changes in the team. Productivity is directly related to the mood and state of mind of your team. Anticipate problems by knowing and cultivating a strong connection with your team. Bring every team member up to an equal standard, making sure that team leads, developers and any other team member are all at the same level in terms of importance. They may have different daily tasks and responsibilities, but they should all be treated in the same manner and have their opinions heard. Handle problems at an early stage. When you detect a small problem with your team don’t ignore it; tiny things have a way of growing into big problems. Sometimes the right word at the right time takes you a long way towards avoiding more serious situations. Hear everyone and measure the situation. If you need to intervene in some way never disclose how you received the information, nor make it obvious for the other person to find out; rather, try and find the root reason of the situation – people make mistakes, and it is much better to understand why and avoid repeating those mistakes, than it is to punish those involved. Talk openly with your team; knowing each of them personally will also help you know how to better reach out to them in order to achieve your goals. Miguel is holding an HR workshop called ‘IT Concepts for HR Professionals’ on November 21 and 22 in Berlin. Sign up on Eventbrite.

Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator uses a new German-engineered surfactant to restore microfiber's original softness and performance. This revolutionary new cleaner works on the sub-molecular level to remove built-up grease, oil, wax, and residues from deep within the micro-fine structure of microfiber. Washing your premium-quality microfiber with Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator will prolong its while helping them to maintain their original performance, use-after-use. Quality microfiber is a serious investment. Don't settle for run-of-the-mill laundry detergrants which can ruin the delicate fibers. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is engineered to maintain and prolong the useable life of the most delicate microfiber towels so you can use them to maintain your high-gloss paint finish. Your car deserves high-quality microfiber and your microfiber deserves Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is optimized to work in HE washing machines, although it will deliver substantial cleaning power when used in any washing machine. The powerful blend of German surfactants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and softeners allow Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator to penetrate deep into the millions of fibers, each many times thinner than a human hair, that make up your towel. Waxes, oils, dirt and residues are washed away with powerful sub-molecular cleaning action. Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator is extremely concentrated. Use 1 ounce for small loads or 2 ounces for large loads. This powerful cleaner works extremely well to clean leather chamois as well as polishing pads and wax applicators. Treat your towels to a deeper, cleaner clean with Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner and Rejuvenator. I have only used it twice and really can't tell a difference but I am thinking it is better for microfiber towels than Tide Pods. I have been using this product to clean my microfiber towels for the past two years and am very happy with its results. I highly recommend this product as it keeps my microfiber towels clean and looking new. I bought this brand of microfiber cleaner and was very impressed from the moment I used it. I had a many-years-old collection of various inexpensive middle-of-the-road quality microfiber rags and towels and had alway just washed them like any other towels. After ONE wash, as directed using no fabric softener, it was like I had just gone out and purchased a couple dozen brand new micro/towels! Even the old faded and irretrievably stained ones puffed up and were truly rejuvenated. What's more, it got out so many long set in stains, my jaw just dropped. But MORE importantly, when I ran out, I decided to try another reliable brand that said it was a microfiber AND pad cleaning proctuct. Long story short, it worked 1/4 as well as Wolfgang's which I have since used to clean my DA buffer pads as well as various natural and synthetic brushes with fantastic results. It even brings life back to non-microfiber towels and mats. Don't waist your time or money on the others, this stuff is the best! I use this often because I really like this product, which cleans well without making my towels hard. ProsThe measuring bottle. Name Brand. I've only used Micro Restore until now so I only have it to compare to. This seems just as effective and was designed for HE machines. It seems I can use less detergent per load compared to Micro Restore but it is also more expensive. Good cleaning power. HE washer friendly. I am now on my second bottle. ProsGood cleaning power HE washer friendly Easy to use container. Great microfiber cleaner. I love this stuff, it gets the microfibers much cleaner and softer than anything else I have used. At 1 oz per medium it also goes much further than any other rejuvenator I have used. I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants the best for their microfiber stash! This is a great cleaner for microfibers. Gets them clean and keeps them feeling soft longer than a traditional laundry detergent. This is the best cleaner I have ever used on my microfiber towels. I was especially glad to see it was indicated OK to use in HE machines as is mine. Use as directed and it really cleans your towels. Great at removing stubborn road grease/grime. My towels after washing seems to have a "squeaky" sound when rubbed together.. After they come out of the dryer they are much fuller than when using conventional washing detergent. Also, when using towels seem much more absorbent than before. Thanks Wolfgang and Autopia for a great product that performs as indicated...!!!

King Yeongjo aspires to become a perfect king due to his tarnished background. His mother is from a lower class and a rumor exists that he killed his older brother to become the king. King Yeongjo then has a son at a late age. He appoints the little prince as the Crown Prince. King Yeongjo has high expectations for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince cares more for martial arts and paintings rather than focusing on his studies. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince longs for a benevolent father rather than a strict King. The relationship between the King and Crown Prince becomes shattered. A detective hunts down a young and successful man who runs a crime syndicate. Based on a novel, this is a movie about a poor and rebellious Wandeugi, meeting an oddball teacher and growing up. "Punch" begins firmly rooted in the coming-of-age genre, but turns into a family drama and a social drama dealing with such crucial issues as the generation gap, education, disability, and multi-culturalism. It does all this and imparts some valuable lessons while providing entertainment and inspiration.

The Streets of San Francisco is a 1970s television crime drama TV series produced by Quinn Martin Productions. It starred Karl Malden and Michael Douglas as two detectives in San Francisco. The show ran for five seasons, between September 16, 1972, and June 9, 1977, on ABC. The font used for the TV title in the poster above is Helvetica Neue LT 95 Black. For the font used for the title card at the beginning of the show, it is very similar to Advertisers Gothic, a headline font originally designed by the accomplished German-American matrix engraver, Robert Wiebking, for the Western Type Foundry in 1917.

By John Hertz: (reprinted from Vanamonde 1286; January 31, 2017) Today is National Gorilla-Suit Day (Don Martin Bounces Back, 1963). I’ve just come to the passage in Scott Kelly’s Endurance (2017) where his twin brother Mark announces sending a gorilla suit to Scott at the International Space Station. “Of course you need a gorilla suit,” Mark says (p. 219, in the large-print edition, which is what I could get). Its launching rocket explodes, but – this is ahead of where I am in the book – another is sent, upon arrival captured with a robot arm (p. 498) by Kjell (pronounced “chell”) Lindgren, who also while at the Station 22 Jul – 11 Dec 15 was a long-distance Guest of Honor of Sasquan, the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention, presenting the Hugo Award for Best Novel by video. Indeed Scott Kelly gorillas up, as he puts it (p. 529), of which a video got onto the Internet 23 Feb 16. By John Hertz: Those words always remind me of Rod Serling and The Twilight Zone. Now in Electronicland it may be easier to find than when originally broadcast. Rod Serling was an Antioch boy, as am I. So was Rusty Hevelin who knew him there and dated Coretta Scott. I never knew any of them in college; they were far ahead of me. Lots of folks are far ahead of me. I submit for your consideration Scott Kelly and André Ceolin’s book My Journey to the Stars. I’m nominating it in the Hugos for Related Work. This is the aimed-at-children version of Kelly’s near-year on the International Space Station (we have a Space Station!), illustrated with both photographs and Ceolin’s pictures. Kelly’s aimed-at-adults version Endurance is good too, but Journey’s my nominee. Scott Kelly and his identical-twin brother Mark joined the U.S. Nat’l Aeronautics & Space Adm’n in the same year, the only twins in NASA history. One on Earth, one in Space, was part of this mission. Telling a story is an art. Telling a story to children is an art. What do you put in? Today is National Gorilla Suit Day (Don Martin Bounces Back, 1963). I’ve just come to the passage in Scott Kelly’s Endurance (2017) where his twin brother Mark announces sending a gorilla suit to Scott at the International Space Station. Its launching rocket explodes, but – this is ahead of where I am in the book – another is sent, upon arrival captured with a robot arm (p. 498) by Kjell (pronounced “chell”) Lindgren, who also while at the Station 22 Jul – 11 Dec 15 was a long-distance Guest of Honor of Sasquan the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention, presenting the Hugo Award for Best Novel by video. Indeed Scott gorillas up, as he puts it (p. 529), of which a video got onto the Internet 23 Feb 16. Endurance doesn’t mention the Hugo (to which Our Gracious Host commented “the noive!”, presumably not to express an opinion about the NERVA), but since it does include the gorilla suit a case could be made that it shows a sense of proportion. Neither book mentions Heinlein’s Time for the Stars. Endurance has six hundred pages. Journey has seventeen hundred words. Endurance had the help of Margaret Lazarus Dean; Journey, Emily Easton. Scott says he came home from the Station with 500,000 photographs. Journey has forty, with a dozen photo credits beside his. Scott calls Mark his perfect copy – on the 5th page of Journey (the pages aren’t numbered), under four photos of them at various ages dressed and acting – almost – identically. By the fourth photo they’re both adults; they both have shaved heads; Mark has a mustache; their insignia – and faces – are different. Some of the photos in Journey match Ceolin’s pictures. On the 12th page is a photo of the twins with their Grandma, an inset to Ceolin’s picture on the 12th and 13th of the twins with Grandma and Pop Pop. The twins are wearing almost the same shirts as in the photo. You can see how Ceolin shows Grandma and how the photo does. By the 16th page Mom has decided to become a police officer; the 17th shows Scott pretending to be hurt so she can practice dragging him to safety. On the 19th they’re doing that in a photo. Ceolin is very sparing in detail. I was about to say “like cartoons” but some cartoons spare almost nothing. What is realism? Journey starts at the end. It’s been 340 days since I set foot on Earth. I’ve spent almost a full year living and working on the International Space Station (ISS). It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I miss fresh air and the feel of rain on my face. I miss hugging my daughters and my girlfriend, Amiko. At last, it’s time to get into the spaceship that will take me home. Before this text is a photo of Scott in NASA uniform between his two daughters. Under the text is a photo of Scott in Navy uniform with Amiko. Maybe you can tell whether they’re in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, Cinderella Castle, Enchanted Storybook Castle, or Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant. We see these photos because a spacesuited hand is holding them. Why a suit? He wears it, not on the Station, but to and from. He’s on his way home. One-quarter of Journey has Scott on the Station. The four-twins-photos page takes us to their childhood. In one of the photos each boy is holding a fish; on the next page Ceolin shows them fishing. The water runs under the photos, and behind the text, on the previous page. Eighteen pages later they’re test pilots in the Navy. After that, and joining NASA, they each fly into Space four times. Scott’s long term on the Station is part of NASA planning for Mars. That trip will call for longer in Space than human beings have ever been. Scott tests his brain, blood, eyes, muscles, and bones. Mark on Earth does the same tests. Scott and his crew run four hundred experiments. Some are on the crew. Some are on mice. Some are flowers and lettuce. This is the first crew to eat fresh vegetables grown on the Station. When he does finally get home he walks straight to his swimming pool and jumps in with all his clothes on. I could have put in how he was a terrible student until he read The Right Stuff, how his parents fought but his Dad helped his Mom train for the police, and how Mark got hit by a car but when he came back from the hospital Scott thought Mark had the better deal. I could have put in a love poem from Amiko to Scott which is in Endurance along with chocolate and horse milk. In another story Polynesia the parrot asks Tommy Stubbins “Are you a good noticer?” I think Journey, by design or instinct or both, an immensely – can’t measure it – subtle book. Its parts complement, correspond, connect. Journey is amazing. That’s its second-to-last word. P.S. I have two more recommendations: Greg Benford’s novel The Berlin Project which I think extraordinary, and Larry Niven’s short story “By the Red Giant’s Light” (Nov-Dec Fantasy & Science Fiction) which I think a masterwork. Niven is a pointillist. He paints dots of bright color and leaves us to see the whole.

Bovine immunoglobulins are derived from bovine serum. The supplement contains high levels of a mixture of Immunoglobulin classes, including IgG1, IgG2, IgM and IgA shown to support healthy immune functions. Our supplement retains more biological activity through the digestive tract, therefore delivering more IgG to the small intestine where it is most effective. Our bovine immunoglobulins is harvested from grass fed, healthy cows, free of bacterial contamination, herbicide, pesticide, and antibiotic residues. As a dietary supplement to the body's naturally occurring antibodies and immunoglobulins, take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times daily on an empty stomach. I’ve been using this as part of my gut healing protocol, as I also work on healing from chronic Lyme and all that goes with it. It’s been great to have a quality product at a reasonable price. I have taken this product for about 4 days. My symptoms from interstitial cystitis seem better. I still have to stay on the diet at this point, but less frequency and urgency. Pleased with product, website and was shipped immediately. This product was recommended by my health practitioner and I've been pleased with results.

The Porsche 914 was one of the original intentions for the VW Type IV engine. These engines powered the vast amount of 914s from their beginning in 1970 till their end in 1976. The factory engine started out as a 1.7 and ended up as a much more advanced and stronger engine with 2.0 liters of displacement. The 2.0 cars were much more fun to drive and the extra 20 or so HP that they produced was welcomed in the driver’s seat and actually helped the handling of the 914, especially in hard corners. As you read the following pages, please do not think that we only build race engines for the 914, because that’s just not true. We do any type of engine for your 914 this includes a slightly more efficient stock engine using the stock injection system, (2056cc) or one of our Raby designed 914 specific performance engines with outputs of over 200HP possible. This is the “Aircooled Technology” “2270 Performer” base engine. Long ago this engine became our most powerful 2270 base engine for the 914 due to its super broad power band, RPM capability, monstrous torque and pure performance.Since the engine is only bored 2mm the longevity is superb and our stronger, lighter components that comprise it also help with longevity. The added 7.4mm of stroke adds super down low power and increases drivability enormously. A few years ago we decided to work harder to make the medium displacement engine the wave of the future through efficiency. The main focus of this program was built around the very engine that you see here that has been developed, redeveloped, tested and retested literally hundreds of times. Since we have built so many of these engines we have completed them for nearly every climate and elevation and I have dozens of graphs for this particular engine that we can provide to you via email by request. I can literally make this engine do things that are unbelievable by the six-cylinder enthusiasts, but when he gets passed by one he doesn’t question my abilities any further! The super strong point with this engine is that it thrives from high efficiency and nicely CNC ported LE 200 heads. Unlike our competitors, we do not base engines on used head castings but utilize brand new ones that are CNC ported and polished by Len Hoffman. The other keys to our recipe for this combination lie in the rod ratio, and piston design and the overall engine recipe. These aspects of this engine make it a reality to have very low oil consumption and quiet running while still making BIG HP AND TORQUE at pretty much any RPM level and at any load, power is available on demand at most any speed.. This engine, coupled with a set of RAT 44mm carburetors is a serious contender and has the capability of outperforming by leaps and bounds a stock 914/6, as well as many other six cylinders, converted cars while staying simple, easy to work on and much cheaper. Remember that the stock 914/6 only made 110HP@5800 and 116@4200 TQ. Yes, this was a small 2.0 engine, but even the 2.4 six cylinder which is a whopping 100+ccs larger than our mildly tuned 2270 only made 165hp@6200 151TQ@4500 in “E” trim! The six-cylinder is 100+ pounds heavier has two extra cylinders and higher static CR than our favorite 2270, yet the 2270SS outperforms that six cylinders. 2270 is not a conversion engine and bolts right into your car with no headaches. It also doesn’t cost as much as a 911 engine to rebuild even in stock form. A 4 cylinder engine belongs to your engine bay, and this is the one for many people. There is nothing better than a daily driver 4 that can drive to the track, beat the sixes and drive home without breaking. The 2270 SS is the definition of a true “Dual purpose” 914 engine that was designed to provide excellent power right up to 6,500 RPM with a rev capability of 7, 200 RPM. The engine has extreme low-end grunt with its 170+ lb/ft of torque and revs crisp and clear straight to redline. In third gear, this engine is a very powerful contender, but yet it is still capable of being driven by wives and girlfriends. This engine can be further outfitted with our newest developments and options and even more longevity than the 80,000 miles we normally see can be achieved. The engine burns normal pump gas, idles smooth and sounds incredible in the driver’s seat. With our moderate static compression ratio, we retain long life, cool temperatures and the need for a better cooling system, like our 914 “DTM” is not needed, however, if it is used the engine will produce more HP through better efficiency. For an exhaust system, stock heater boxes cannot be retained and coupled with a Bursch Muffler, like the 2270SR. This engine requires a full header system like one of our RAT Street Headers or the RAT Super Header. The HP difference will be noted and we can tune the engine with that system to ensure maximum engine optimization is being accomplished. With our dyno tuning, you can rest assured that the engine will arrive in the best state of tune possible and be producing its peak amount of power with its best settings for the desired RPM. Since we have done so many of these engines I have the tuning literally memorized for each version and most of the time can get this engine optimized in as few as 3 dyno power pulls. Please don’t think that this is a generic engine by my descriptions because it’s far from that. We simply have dozens of proven ways to build this engine and the tuning is very simple due to the engine’s efficiency! It’s not generic by any means, it still built for you and your car specifically. Just because the engine is making so much power don’t think that it is a gas guzzler. The average driver will see 25-28 MPG with this combo even with some spirited driving. This does vary a bit with engines specifically built for lower and higher elevations due to tuning. The engine doesn’t lose it’s life due to the extra power as well, but it does create so much power that it doesn’t need to be pushed hard at all on the street and many owners find themselves basically idling around with their foot only slightly on the throttle.

"She is my whole life" In the sequel to Sweet Lenora, Anton and Lenora sail away from trouble in Rio de Janeiro only to encounter new problems. With only half a crew and a first mate that is hated and feared, they venture to San Francisco plagued by threats, mutiny,and illness. As they arrive at their destination, the ghosts of the past come back to haunt them and may prove to be the greatest menace of all. At each turn, the love they have forged is tested. Will it prevail? To the Wind is the second in a series of historical novellas. The first, Sweet Lenora, came out of an interest in trying my hand at writing about a time other than my own and a few romantic ideas about tall ships. I wrote it as a novella, enough to dip my toe into the genre, though maybe not dive in headfirst. Anton and Lenora, the main characters in the series, had other ideas. Their story wasn't and couldn't be finished in the space of a novella. And so I did dive in, with a series of novellas about their love and their lives. To the Wind is told in Anton's voice and is a continuation of a journey. It can be read on it's own or as a compliment to Sweet Lenora. "Ute Carbone captures the reader's interest immediately with an adventurous, emotional tale of a sailor's life on the sea as they follow orders from bosses within the trade business of the California gold rush era. It also tells of incredible love, heartfelt compassion, and the pure admiration a young couple can have for one another. Ute Carbone's To the Wind has a bit of everything in it, making it appealing to many types of readers. It is a short story written so skillfully and descriptively it is as though you are watching a movie screen rather than reading a book." 5 stars from Michelle Robertson at Reader's Favorite. Break out the good chocolate! I'm writing a historical series! You may wonder how a comedy-and-contemporary author like me wound up writing a historical series. About a year and a half ago, the publisher at Champagne Books put out a call, or request, for novellas featuring dark heroes. I had wanted to write something historical and I liked the idea of trying it out as a novella, a short form that is quicker (though not necessarily easier) to write than a feature length novel. I wrote Sweet Lenora, the story of a ship builders daughter who stows away on a clipper ship to avoid an arranged marriage, and the captain of the ship she stows away on, who becomes her protector and later, her lover and husband. My editor and the publisher liked the story and it became part of the Dark Heroes series. There was only one problem. The story didn’t feel quite….finished. So I decided to write a sequel. To the Wind is the result. The characters still aren’t finished telling their tale, so Anton and Lenora became a series. Anton and Lenora are a departure from the contemporary fiction I usually write. But departures can be a good thing, and I’ve loved writing about another time, with characters larger than life, and adventures on the high seas. I hope readers will love Anton and Lenora, too.

We participated in a challenge from Sarah over at Little Bins for Little Hands. The challenge was to give your child a bin of rice, only rice, and allow them to play with it however they like. They could bring toys to it as they wished, but we weren't allowed to push them in any direction. Basically we were to leave it as child-led as possible. This was no problem with my opinionated bunch to be sure! They were happy to provide their own toys and stories! I provided each of my kids with their own bin filled with plain white rice. At first they enjoyed scooping it with their hands and letting it flow out of them. After a few minutes they ran off to find some other toys to add. Eli returned with cars; while the girls came back with ponies. I wasn't surprised by either choice of course! After playing alone for a while they all decided to play together with stuffed bears. The girls had a couple stories going on about the bears being buried in snow; while Eli was feeding his bears the rice. ....a floor covered in rice! Luckily for me the older two also know how to work brooms! It is amazing to me how much play they can get out of something so simple. They were playing at least an hour and requested to do it again while we were cleaning up! Like I said earlier this challenge came from the lovely Sarah over at Little Bins for Little Hands, and several other bloggers accepted the challenge as well! Be sure to stop by and see what their little ones did with something as simple as a bin of rice!

Several area restaurants have committed to offering anticancer-inspired meals to raise money to support Concord Hospital Payson Center for Cancer Care’s Anticancer Lifestyle Program. Participating restaurants have created delicious, plant-based menu items brimming with food high in cancer-fighting ingredients. A portion of proceeds of the sale of menu items will support Concord Hospital Payson Center for Cancer Care’s Anticancer Lifestyle Program - a lifestyle transformation plan for people diagnosed with cancer. The program educates participants about how to make improvements in their diet, physical activity, toxin exposure and stress levels and why these changes are important not only to feeling better, but also reduce the risk of recurrence. One primary goal of the program is to encourage cancer patients to be proactive participants in their own well-being and to restore a sense of control while living with this disease. Evidence exists that a healthy diet, adequate physical activity, lowered exposure to toxins, social support, and stress management all help to maximize the body’s natural defenses against cancer. “Giving back in this way is a great fit for us both through featuring healthy meals with locally-sourced produce and giving back to the community that we are so much a part of.” says Sue O’Donnell, general manager of The Centennial Hotel and Granite Restaurant and Bar. “What better way to build awareness and spread the word of the good work done every day at the Payson Center for Cancer Care,” she adds. Other participating restaurants include: Angelina’s Ristorante Italiano, 11 Depot Street, Concord; Café Indigo, 128 Hall Street, Concord; and Country Spirit Restaurant, Maple Street, Henniker. Consider visiting one of these restaurants to try their inspired menu items. For more information on the Anticancer Lifestyle Program or to learn how you can make a difference in a cancer survivor’s life, visit anticancerlifestyle.org or ch-trust.org.

Meet our team of dedicated staff and trustees, and our Patron. At Me2 Club we have a small team of dedicated staff responsible for the day to day activities of the charity, our team of volunteers, children/young people and families. Tess has over 25 years experience in project implementation, training and office management including business manager of a local preschool. She has volunteered in the charity sector for many years raising funds for local and national causes. Tess has a special interest in supporting young people with additional needs and helping ‘make a difference’ via the work done by Me2 Club. Jess joined the team in 2017 as maternity cover and became a permanent member of staff in May 2018. Prior to starting at Me2 Club she worked for 2 years in education and care of children with severe learning difficulties, autism and challenging behaviour. Before that she worked for a charity within a hospital providing support to vulnerable patients. Jess has a First Class Bachelor's degree in Psychology and has Safeguarding Level 2 training. She is also Team Teach Trained and has experience in designing and delivering training. Jess is passionate about including children and young people with additional needs so they can have the same opportunities as everyone else. Vicky joined the team in September 2018. Vicky has over 7 years’ experience working with children and adults with additional needs. Prior to starting at Me2 Club, Vicky worked at a charity organising volunteering opportunities for adults with disabilities and additional needs. Before that, she spent 5 years working as support staff at a special school, supporting pupils with a range of disabilities and complex needs. Vicky has a degree in special needs, inclusion and education studies. Vicky has a special interest in inclusion and wants to help create a fully inclusive society. Liz has over 17+ years’ experience of working in the local voluntary sector for various causes she is passionate about. She was really excited to join the team in November 2016 and enjoys using her skills to help the charity raise its profile and flourish. Having a nephew with additional needs, who would love Me2 Club to operate where he lives, she sees for herself the important link between inclusion and good mental health. Being a trustee is challenging and stimulating it allows you to use existing skills and can offer ways to develop new ones. It means making decisions that will impact on people’s lives and making a difference to the local community. Our Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall control, direction and development of the charity. As well as ensuring we comply with all relevant charity laws and regulations, we need to ensure we remain solvent and deliver the outcomes for which Me2 Club was set up. Our trustees come from all walks of life using their personal skills and experience to ensure that the charity is well run and efficient. Bernadette has 30 years experience in customer services and finance in the IT industry as an Administration Manager. She decided to become a Trustee after seeing first-hand the invaluable and crucial work that Me2 Club does with those who have little or no opportunity to socialise amongst their peers. Elfi has worked as a primary school teacher for 25 years. She first became involved at Me2 Club as a volunteer in 2012, supporting a young person with additional needs at a mainstream activity. In 2014 Elfie decided to become a Trustee as she was impressed by the charity and the valuable and unique service it provides in the local community. Sarah has been a primary school teacher for 19 years and was an Assistant Head Teacher for 4 years. She first became involved with Me2 Club in 2014 as her son was supported by a Me2 Club volunteer. In 2016 she decided to become a trustee to give something back to the Charity that has supported her family. Simon has over 25 years experience in finance from roles in the Manufacturing and Healthcare industries. He decided to become a Trustee in 2015 after responding to an advertisement in his son’s school newsletter and then connecting with existing trustees to see the amazing work that Me2 Club does and the positive impact it has. Lori has 30 years experience of working in the IT industry in a variety of roles, latterly working in sales and marketing. Upon retirement from there she then embarked on a second career within a charity as a freelance Horticultural Therapist. She initially decided on a volunteering role with Me2 Club, but also felt that her skills in the corporate world would enable her to become a trustee to help support the charity in the future.

The final rule has the potential to ensure that certain physical therapists are not excluded from providing services under Medicaid. In addition, it strengthens the consistency of standards across Medicare and Medicaid. APTA has worked since 2010 to eliminate the outdated qualifications. Specifically, APTA is hopeful that today's rule is a major victory for many foreign-trained physical therapists, in states such as New York, who were previously considered qualified to treat Medicaid patients but were told around 2010-2011 that they were no longer considered qualified to provide services under Medicaid. In response to comments received regarding certain states that have excluded PTs from treating Medicaid patients due to being trained in foreign countries, CMS states in the final rule, “If practices at the State level are prohibiting individuals from meeting Medicaid qualifications, we suggest addressing those concerns with the State Medicaid Agency." CMS' comments also stated that, although the Medicaid regulations are silent on the use of physical therapist assistants for Medicaid services, "States utilizing PT or OT assistants would be well served to follow the Medicare definition found at 42 CFR §484.4, to ensure consistency across programs." Under Medicare, physical therapists are licensed providers in all states and physical therapist assistants are licensed providers in the majority of states. As licensed providers, the state practice act governs supervision requirements. Some state practice acts mandate more stringent supervision standards than Medicare laws and regulations. In those cases, the physical therapist and physical therapist assistants must comply with their state practice act. More information can be found on APTA's Use of Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) Under Medicare webpage. Can PTA's treat Medicaid patients in the state of Delaware? So it is fine to use foreign trained therapists, but not PT graduates of an approved school for Medicare,who have not yet passed their exam due to the short schedule of tests available for some states, even though the graduate can obtain a temporary license. Does not seem right. CAN PTA 'S TREAT MEDICAID PATIENTS IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA?

The French don’t like to eat alone. It is simply too pleasurable an experience to keep to oneself. A solo French diner in a bistro here is more likely to start up a conversation with the waiter or the sommelier than to eat in stony silence. A meal should be “partagé”—shared—with others. “Partage,” that elusive concept that means “sharing,” is one of my favorite words in the French language. And in this time of political turmoil—in France, in Europe, in the United States—partage is more important than ever. What Recipe Shares a Story About Where You Come From? I learned the concept early on in life. In our basement kitchen, my Sicilian grandfather taught me how to pickle eggplant, simmer tripe in tomatoes, and grill lambs’ heads with lemon and rosemary. He introduced me at the age of five to the wine he made in our backyard every summer and kept in two oak barrels in the cellar, next to his tools. My father owned an Italian grocery store in Niagara Falls and sold provolone and prosciutto, homemade sausages and hand-cranked pasta-making machines, in the days when real Italians called it pasta, but everyone else still said macaroni. He communicated with his customers in a rough Sicilian dialect and taught me the art of delivering small pleasures through food and conversation. No matter how cold the winter, how deep the snow, how bad the economy, how serious the problem, he believed anyone could find comfort in a good family meal, even one as simple as penne with bacon, onions, and a can of Progresso cannellini beans. “Everybody has to eat!” he would say. I take this spirit with me to the rue des Martyrs, my food-shopping street in Paris. The rue des Martyrs has always been about commerce, especially about the sale of food. Bonding with food merchants here has become a way to tune out the hatred and division that infects so much of our political discourse today, and to concentrate on an essential question of everyday life: what do I make for dinner. Some mornings, I sit at a small, formica-topped sidewalk table at Le Dream Café. The television is always on, tuned to an all-news channel. The regulars stand at the zinc bar for a morning beer or a glass of house wine, an old workers’ custom. The butchers from across the street arrive holding half baguettes with ham for their first break at 10. If Sébastien Dominique, my favorite butcher, is with them, he’ll chew and swallow, wipe his mouth clean, and kiss me on both cheeks. Momo, the morning manager serves the best café crème on the street (his hot chocolate is even better) in heavy porcelain cups and saucers stamped “Cafés Richard.” The croissants and baguettes were made early this morning at the Levin family bakery next door. Yves Chataigner, the cheesemonger across the street, comes for four espressos (two each for him and his wife Annick), which he carries on a tray to his shop. He once gave me a basic lesson in French cheeses. We started with Camembert. He took a round from the shelf and removed its white plastic wrapping. “First, there is how the Camembert looks,” he said. “When there is white in the middle like this one, it is too young. There was that word again, partage. It signaled that you are not alone, especially when you’re communing with Camembert as if it is a living thing. I occasionally share my food discoveries with my neighbors. One spring I harvested white asparagus. A cold, wet winter in France meant the special white variety had come late to the rue des Martyrs. It was expensive at $11 a pound, and because it had been trucked a long way, it was dull and wrinkled. So I set out to harvest my own, in the deepest part of the Landes near the Spanish border. When I returned to Paris with two shopping bags of white asparagus, I gave some to my greengrocer friend Ezzidine. “I’ll cook them for my wife!” he exclaimed. But Ezzidine is a fruit and vegetable guy, not a chef. He overcooked them and they turned limp and stringy. One day, baskets of strange oval shapes with velvety skin the color of celadon turned up: fresh almonds. Ezzidine slammed an almond against a wooden pillar to crack the tough skin and fleshy covering. He removed them to reveal an almond kernel. When I put it to my mouth, he stopped me. “You have to peel it now,” he said. He pinched the skin with a fingernail and pulled it back. He did it again and again until he had a smooth, white almond. “Now you can eat it.” It tasted like almond, only crunchy and fresh like a water chestnut. “But it’s so much work,” I said. Over time, Ezzidine began to share his stories. He confessed that he was sad when he was alone at home on his day off. “I need my customers,” he said. He sounded like my father. The down-to-earth food merchants in my neighborhood are not the only ones who celebrate “partage”; many of France’s grand chefs do so as well, Michelin three-star chef Guy Savoy most of all. He treats his namesake restaurant in the Monnaie de Paris—the French mint—on the banks of the Seine as if it's a neighborhood bistro, perpetually out in the dining room schmoozing and hugging. In early December, Savoy’s restaurant was first place on La Liste, an ambitious algorithm-based ranking of what France’s Foreign Ministry claims are the 10,000 best “tables of exception” in the world. After a five-course dinner in the grand Salon de l'Horloge at the Quai d’Orsay that included Alain Ducasse’s “Vol-au-Vent de Grande Tradition” and a grapefruit sorbet with bitter citrus fruits of the Foreign Ministry’s own kitchen, Savoy asked Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault for a favor: could he personally thank the Foreign Ministry’s entire kitchen staff? Ayrault obliged, and a few minutes later the twenty or so chefs and their entire kitchen staff stepped on center stage. Savoy led the several hundred diners in a standing ovation. Partially excerpted from The Only Street in Paris: Life on the rue des Martyrs, Elaine's New York Times bestselling book. It was published in paperback and in a French edition last month.

The tendons are the connective tissue that joins the muscles to the bones. They are very tough, flexible and strong, but they can become injured, bruised and be torn under stress. They can become inflamed, and they can get tiny tears in various places, which is painful. Most often tendonitis occurs in shoulder, the wrist, elbow, wrist, knees, the achilles region, and sometimes in the back areas. Most of the time the condition is caused by a repetitive motion, such as in tennis, players get “tennis elbow” which is a strain from applying the same tennis stroke over and over again. Or in baseball, a pitcher will get tendonitis in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Tendonitis occurs most often with athletes, where different parts of the body is placed under undue strain while playing. It can occur with weekend warriors, where people participate in weekend athletics a little more enthusiastically than normal, and even when we get older with too much walking or gardening. Some prevention is in order here, as a little wisdom can help in warding off the symptoms of the condition. One thing you can always do, and you see athletes doing this before games, is to always warm up before you actually participate in the event. Stretching and loosing up the body by jogging a little and getting the muscles and tendons alike. During your warm up begin slowly, and gradually step up your routine until you break a little sweat. Stay away from work, for example that require stretching or staying in one position for extended periods of time, as that than unduly strain muscles and tendons. Wear the proper shoes, especially if you are jogging, playing golf or tennis, or other sports that require lots of physical activity. Seek the guidance of a trainer or a sports doctor for advice about the technique of playing your sport so you can avoid tendonitis. If you do find that you suddenly have sharp pain in the areas near the joints where the muscles join the bones, the quicker the treatment the more quickly you will recover. Place ice packs on the area as quickly as possible for 20 minute periods, for 3 or 4 times per day. If you have swelling or pain immediately after participating in a sport, go ahead and ice the area right then. For the reduction inflammation, pain and swelling such over the counter medications as ibuprofen and aspirin can be taken, and an antibiotic can be taken if it is determined by your doctor that an infection is the cause of the problem. If the tendonitis is particularly advanced, splinting or a sling may be appropriate, but it is important to gently keep moving the joint and the tendon to keep it from “freezing” or getting stiff. You want to keep the blood circulating because that is what will speed the healing of tears in the tendon. Since the tears in the tendon which causes tendonitis usually very small, surgery is rarely necessary, but depending upon where the injury is located recovery can take weeks or months.

All the children are busy doing Buddy Reading with Mr. O' Sullivan's class. They love to read with the older children and look forward to it every day. The Seniors read their own Special Book of stories which they have written during the year as part of the shared writing programme with their parents and they also read their graded library books. The First Class read their Class Book of stories which they have written and their library books.They also read the Class Irish Books which they have written during the year. The older children ask them questions about their books in order to develop their comprehension skills. This programme is really helping the younger children to become fluent, confident readers and the older children grow in confidence and self esteem and are well on their way to becoming the educators of the future !

Ever since I got my first a7s back in 2015 I have pondered what would make me switch from Canon. Now having owned an A7Rii for some time I was talking to someone quite recently and came up with a list of things I'd need in a Sony camera to make me ditch Canon altogether. This camera has EVERY SINGLE ONE!. Honestly, my things i'd like in a camera update were.. 1. Mini joystick to move the focus point around (so much faster than the current system). 2. Around 24MP as 44MP is great but if you are shooting a lot of images the processing power and space required is obscene. 3. Faster overall, write speeds, fps etc. This camera delivers that..20FPS..bloody hell that's 8k video! Sony have pulled it out of the bag. The new Sony A9 has all of the above and more. Things such as dual card slots, 2x the resolution in the viewfinder, better focusing coverage (you can now focus on 95% of the view you see through the screen which embarrasses SLRs). Dedicated autofocus type switch. All this in a tiny body with the usual Sony features like remote control from your phone. Now the release of a new crazy spec camera is always interesting but the main thing that got me hyped about this is the idea that I might be able to lug less gear around. If I could get away with it i'd carry my iphone around or something smaller but since the quality isn't there we are stuck with conventional cameras for a while. At the moment I carry around 3 camera bodies, a bit of a mix between the Sony and Canon gear as I prefer the Sony for static shots and video but the Canons were so much faster...up until now! The current weight of this setup on my back (not including laptop, spare batteries, lights etc etc) is 7kg. Switching to a Sony only setup would knock this down to 4.3kg..that's a 2.7kg reduction in the weight i have to carry around whilst improving quality and speed, that's insane. Nearly 40% less weight! I'm sold, I'm ordering one and I'll let you know how it is when I get it. I've included below the full press release from Sony for those that want to geek out. The new camera offers many impressive capabilities that are simply not possible with a modern digital SLR camera including high-speed, blackout-free continuous shooting3 at up to 20fps(4), 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per second(10), a maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32,000 second(8) and much more. These are made possible thanks to its 35mm full-frame stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor – the world’s first of its kind – which enables data speed processing at up to 20x faster than previous Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras(11). This unique sensor is paired with a brand new, upgraded BIONZ X processing engine and front end LSI that maximizes overall performance. This industry-leading speed and innovative silent shooting(7) is combined with a focusing system that features an incredible 693 phase detection AF points. Covering approximately 93% of the frame, the focusing system ensures that even the fasting moving subjects are reliably captured and tracked across the frame. The new α9 also features a vibration free, fully electronic, completely silent anti-distortion shutter(7) with absolutely no mechanical mirror or shutter noise, making it an extremely powerful photographic tool for any shooting situation that demands quiet operation. To ensure maximum usability and reliability, the camera features a new Z battery with approximately 2.2x the capacity of W batteries, as well as dual SD media card slots, including one that supports UHS-II cards. An Ethernet port (wired LAN terminal) is available as well, and there is a wide variety of new settings, controls and customizability options that are essential for working pros. Critical to the record-breaking speed of the new α9 is the combination of the new stacked 24.2 MP(2) Exmor RS image sensor, new BIONZ X processor and front end LSI. The immense processing power from these new components allows for faster AF/AE calculation while also reducing EVF display latency. The processor and front end LSI are also responsible for the larger continuous shooting buffer, enabling photographers to shoot at a blazing 20 fps(4) with continuous AF/AE tracking for up to 362 JPEG(6) or 241 RAW(5) images. The camera’s innovative AF system tracks complex, erratic motion with higher accuracy than ever before, with the ability to calculate AF/AE at up to 60 times per second(10), regardless of shutter release and frame capture. Further, when the shutter is released while shooting stills, the electronic viewfinder functions with absolutely no blackout, giving the user a seamless live view of their subject at all times(12). This feature truly combines all of the benefits of an electronic viewfinder with the immediacy and “in the moment” advantages that not even the finest optical viewfinders can match, and is available in all still image modes including high speed 20 fps(4) continuous shooting. This all adds up to a luminance that is 2x higher than the XGA OLED Tru-Finder from the α7R II, creating a viewfinder image with a brightness level that is nearly identical to the actual scene being framed, ensuring the most natural shooting experience. The frame rate of the Tru-Finder is even customizable, with options to set it for 60 fps or 120 fps(13) to best match the action. The α9 is equipped with an innovative 5-axis image stabilization system that provides a shutter speed advantage of 5.0 steps(9), ensuring the full resolving power of the new sensor can be realized, even in challenging lighting. Also, with a simple half press of the shutter button, the effect of the image stabilization can be monitored in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen, allowing framing and focus to be accurately checked and continually monitored. The unique design of the α9 image sensor represents the pinnacle of Sony device technology. The 24.2 MP 2 full-frame stacked CMOS sensor is back-illuminated, allowing to capture maximum light and produce outstanding, true-to-life image quality. The sensor also enables the diverse ISO range of 100 – 51,200, expandable to 50 – 204,800(14), ensuring optimum image quality with minimum noise at all settings. The new α9 is very capable as a video camera as well, as it offers 4K (3840x2160p) video recording across the full width of the full-frame image sensor (15,16). When shooting in this format, the camera uses full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect 6K of information, oversampling it to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth. Recording is also available in the popular Super 35mm size. Additionally, the camera can record Full HD at 120 fps at up to 100 Mbps, which allows footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow motion video files in Full HD resolution with AF tracking (17). -NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Battery – high-capacity battery with approximately 2.2x the capacity of the NP-FW50 W-series battery. It also supports InfoLITHIUM® technology, making it possible to view the remaining battery power as both a percentage display and five step icon on the camera’s LCD screen. -VG-C3EM Vertical Grip – provides same operation, handling and design as theα9 camera, doubles battery life and allows USB battery-charging via the camera body. -NPA-MQZ1K Multi-Battery Adaptor Kit – External multi-battery adaptor kit capable of functioning as an external power supply for four Z series batteries and as a quick charger. Kit comes with two packs of NP-FZ100 rechargeable batteries. -GP-X1EM Grip Extension – Grip extender with same look, feel and design as α9 body. Enables more solid hold on camera. -BC-QZ1 Battery Charger –quick-charging battery charger. Charges one new Z series battery in approximately 2.5 hours. A variety of exclusive stories and exciting new content shot with the new Α90 camera and other Sony α products can be found at www.alphauniverse.com, a site built to educate and inspire all fans and customers of the Sony α brand. 3. Electronic shutter mode. At apertures smaller than F11 (F-numbers higher than F11), focus will not track the subject and focus points will be fixed on the first frame. Display updating will be slower at slow shutter speeds. 4. “Hi” continuous shooting mode. The maximum frame rate will depend on the shooting mode and lens used. Visit Sony’s support web page for lens compatibility information. 5. “Hi” continuous shooting mode, compressed RAW, UHS-II memory card. Sony tests. 6. “Hi” continuous shooting mode, UHS-II memory card. Sony tests. 8. 1/32000 shutter speed is available only in the S and M modes. The highest shutter speed in all other modes is 1/16000. 9. CIPA standards. Pitch/yaw stabilization only. Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens. Long exposure NR off. 10. At shutter speeds higher than 1/125 sec, smooth and blackout-free live view images are shown in EVF. 11. Compared to the front-illuminated CMOS image sensor in the α7 II. 12. Display updating will be slower at slow shutter speeds. 13. When the auto or electronic shutter mode is selected the viewfinder frame rate is fixed at 60 fps during continuous shooting. 14. Still images, mechanical shutter: ISO 100 – 51,200 expandable to ISO 50 – 204,800. Still images, electronic shutter: ISO 100 – 25,600 expandable to ISO 50 – 25,600. Movie recording: ISO 100 – 51,200 expandable to ISO 100 – 102,400. 16. Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card required for XAVC S format movie recording. UHS Speed Class U3 required for 100Mbps or higher recording. 17. Sound not recorded. Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card required.

At St Olave’s, French is taught to all pupils from Reception to Year 6 as we believe children benefit from language learning from the earliest schooling age. Enjoyment and confidence are key and the emphasis is above all on oral skills. In the Lower School, French is taught through songs and games using authentic material in order to offer pupils a real insight into French culture and way of life. By the end of Year 2, pupils have acquired a good amount of vocabulary on topics such as numbers, colours, greetings, animals or food and their accent is remarkably good. They are ready to enter Upper School where French provision is increased from two 20 minutes sessions a week to two 40 minutes sessions a week. In the Upper School, more importance is gradually given to meeting the written element so that, by the end of Year 6, pupils have a good basic grounding in the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. This is demonstrated by Year 6 pupils passing the entry level of the Diplome d’Etudes en Langues Françaises, DELF A1.1 (with the most able pupils passing the DELF A1). ICT and yearly educational trips are used to strengthen and support French learning at St Olave’s and allow us to accommodate higher ability pupils on more challenging programs while simultaneously supporting weaker children. Finally, the introduction of Latin in Year 6 allows us to deepen pupils’ grammatical and linguistic understanding of both English and European languages and build a strong academic foundation for further foreign language studies at secondary school.

Finally finished reading past two days of dated newspapers and today's Sunday Times. Still getting used to the new look. Jennifer wrote: Finally finished reading past two days of dated newspapers and today's Sunday Times. Bought these at Watsons this evening. Quite comfortable to put on. Not sure how these will work out if wear for longer time duration. For this type of stocking like socks, I only bought once n it keeps slipping off while I walk. I will try these on Tuesday when I go for review at KKH. Btw, I was out for a few hours this late afternoon, from 5+ to 8+. Now my feet are so tired out, accompanying the boys on their sports shoes hunting. I notice I have more spider veins on my feet. Should spider veins be a health concern? I have some pairs that have those rubber non slip dots at the back. Doesn't slip off as easily. Not Watsons, can't rem which brand. Since u bought liao, might as well wear it and see if it's comfy for u. I guess ur spider veins muz be due to over walking and thus putting pressure on ur feet. Rest ur feet more for the next few days n see if it lightens. U r right manz!! Maybe tats the trick. Where did u buy urs? There's a shop at somerset station. You have to walk past it from the control station to get to the various malls. Jennifer can try bb_mon recommendation if ur recent buy is no good.

These gluten free stuffing muffins are filled with sweet Italian sausage, apples, cranberries, sage and pine nuts for a fun alternative to traditional stuffing! Stuffing or dressing? Please tell me you say the former. Dressing is something you put on salad, not the Thanksgiving table. It’s almost as bad as when people call pasta sauce “gravy” (cringe). Stuffing is hands down the best part of Thanksgiving to me. Nothing else comes even remotely close. If it was acceptable to just pile my mom’s stuffing and homemade cranberry sauce on my plate without any other sides or even the turkey, I’d be a happy camper. I have no idea where her recipe comes from, whether it’s been handed down or just something she made up but regardless, it’s epic. The bread takes a backseat and instead the sweet Italian sausage, cranberries, pine nuts, apples and herbs shine. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, super moist (dry stuffings are THE WORST) and the one thing that there’s usually no leftovers of when dinner is over (although if there are, these stuffing frittata bites are a hit the next day). I wanted to take a lot of the elements from my mom’s recipe and shove them into muffin molds to create these perfectly portioned stuffing muffins. Instead of buying those pre-made stuffing croutons, I made my own using Udi’s white sandwich bread, cutting slices into cubes and toasting them in the oven. I’ve never been a fan of seasoned croutons (or breadcrumbs for that matter) and would much rather add my own seasonings and spices. So if you’re like me and could easily gorge yourself on stuffing alone, these sausage cranberry apple stuffing muffins might just be the answer to your overflowing Thanksgiving plate. Or, you can just say heck with it, it’s Thanksgiving after all and eat half the muffin tin yourself. No shame in that game either. These gluten free stuffing muffins are filled with sweet Italian sausage, apples, cranberries, and sage for a fun alternative to traditional stuffing! Place cubed bread on a baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Bake for about 10 minutes until crispy and starting to brown on edges. Remove and set aside. Meanwhile, place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Once butter is melted, add the celery and onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the sausage, apple, sage and garlic and continue cooking until sausage is browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks with a spatula. Add the cranberries and pine nuts to the pan, toss to combine, cook another 2 minutes and remove from heat. Beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Add the toasted bread cubes and sausage mixture to the bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss well until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 5 minutes. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray and spoon stuffing mixture into the muffin tins, packing the mixture in tightly in each mold. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before using a sharp knife to loosen the edges and remove from the tins. Italian sausage? Apples? Cranberries? Sage? Pine nuts? All my thanksgiving faves in a cute little muffin! Thanksgiving in a muffin! No way I can wait until then to make these. Such a great idea! My brother-in-law always makes stuffin’ muffins Gina. Your version sounds delish! Need to try these! Love this combo of cranberries and sausage! Sooooo when so the pine nuts go in? Oops sorry about that – looks like I forgot to include that in the directions. Editing to add the pine nuts in, they should be added to the pan with the cranberries but really can be incorporated at any step.

Turn at My reproof; Surely I will pour out My Spirit on you; I will make My words known to you. Proverbs 1: 23, N.K.J.V. The wisdom that is from above (see James 3: 13-18) is given by the Holy Spirit. Its goal is to make the receiver wise in God’s ways and His revealed will for each one of us. Often these come by way of strong reproof to make us turn from our ways and return to Him.

Computers display the new website of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion. When the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) began with a strong vision and a small but enthusiastic group of members, we knew that bringing financial services to the world’s unbanked would be an invaluable tool in the quest to reduce poverty—and we had real examples of great success. What we needed was to effectively communicate our ideas, to other potential members and to the international community. Today, over eight years later, the AFI network and its members are respected contributors in the international development community, and financial inclusion is recognized as a fundamental pillar for the reduction of poverty. Our network has grown to cover more regions and more subject areas, and at the same time we have built partnerships beyond the network, with private sector leaders, research institutions and international organizations. The reach and complexity of our work has never been greater, and so, as we look toward 2017 and beyond, the need to communicate the goals and the impact of our work has never been stronger. Through these Reflections—a personal blog—I will share with you periodically my thoughts on AFI’s internal development, how our network continues to change the financial inclusion landscape, and highlight some of the impacts we are making on national levels in changing lives for the better. I will also examine some of upcoming financial inclusion trends, which could impact the direction of the AFI network. I look forward to engaging and sharing these ideas with our members and partners through our events and activities. And I look forward to feedback from our members on this blog in the AFI Member Zone. 2016 is the year of AFI’s independence. On 27 January this year AFI was registered as an International Organization under Malaysian Law, hosted by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur. We felt that this major step in the transition from a project to a member-owned organization would also be the best point in time to renew AFI’s public appearance through the website. Therefore, it will not come as a surprise that I am dedicating my first Reflections post to the introduction of the new web site. I am sure that many of you had a preview in the past weeks when the new site went online and I know you will be eager to explore it further at the 2016 Global Policy Forum (GPF) in Fiji. But let me first provide you with a short tour of some of the most important changes and why those changes have been made. We wanted the website to be as flexible and as forward looking as the members of our network. More and more viewers are using mobile devices to access the web and so our new site resizes to fit the device you are using automatically and seamlessly, while still looking impressive on the largest screens. It will now be easier to access and to read no matter where you are or whatever device you have in front of you. I invite you to visit our beautifully redesigned Members page and world map. This more user-friendly design gives you a snapshot of AFI’s global reach with details of our membership by country. AFI’s publication library has expanded dramatically over the last years. We have taken this opportunity reorganize while making searching easier. A single search box will bring you all material related to whatever term you are seeking. In addition, each publication now has its own preview text with a simple download link. Over the next 12 months we be converting key publications into full online formats, allowing users to read and share the content of publications without having to download large pdf files. We have seen how much the use of social media has grown by our members and partners. This is increasingly the gateway to information on the web and the first stop for finding and sharing information. The new site incorporates social media sharing links in every story and every blog to make it easier for you to let others know about AFI content. Of course we have not forgotten about the MZ as a means to share. Along with the most common social media links we will also have a MZ sharing icon. A dedicated section on the front page now highlights keynote speeches from across the membership and ensures that the AFI website remains an amplifier for your voice. We encourage members to take advantage of this section by continuing to share and provide AFI with high level speeches on your work in financial inclusion. Finally, AFI’s blog posts have been some of the most popular content over the last year. In recognition of this interest we have merged the blog into the main AFI website and given it more prominence. The blog contains fascinating insights on financial inclusion topics from our members, our partners and AFI staff. As with our stories and other information we have incorporated social media links and member links to encourage further discussion. These are just a few of the many changes to our site and we encourage you to visit and explore all that the AFI site has to offer. Our thanks for all the input that we have had from you both directly and through the member surveys that AFI regularly conducts. We welcome your feedback on the new site, and rest assured that AFI’s home on the web will continue to progress and evolve as a leading platform for promoting the benefits of smart financial inclusion policy.

Saturday morning marked the Bandits' first practice of the new season. When early-arriving fans reached their seats for Saturday’s open practice by the Buffalo Bandits at the KeyBank Center, they saw a lacrosse team working out. But it wasn’t the Bandits. It was the Philadelphia Wings. With many players coming from Ontario, it’s easier for the Wings to stage part of training camp in Buffalo than it is in Philadelphia. Therefore – trivia alert – the brand-new expansion team’s first-ever workout was held in Buffalo. At least for Vaughn Harris and Dave DiRuscio, taken off the Bandits’ roster in the expansion draft, the workout seemed like old times. Eventually on Saturday morning, the Wings left and the Bandits took over. There must have been a certain amount of glee about stepping on the slightly revised (some new color schemes on the carpet) playing surface. After all, the labor dispute the National Lacrosse League delayed the start of the season by a few weeks. This was supposed to be the day of the home opener for Buffalo; instead it’s the start of a brief training camp. “It was getting a little tight on time,” co-coach John Taveras said about the compressed schedule. The Bandits will be busy leading up to the season opener. Buffalo has some practices and scrimmages scheduled. That means players still may be introducing themselves to each other when the games start counting in the standings. Play could be a little sloppy at the start of the season, but it shouldn’t be that much of a problem. The centers of attention on Saturday were Buffalo’s two biggest acquisitions. Goalie Matt Vinc was signed as a free agent. He is the reigning goaltender of the year, and is considered one of the best to ever play in that position. Vinc is from St. Catharines, Ont., and he also said that Rochester’s pending move to Halifax in the summer of 2019 was part of his decision-making process. Meanwhile, Corey Small was acquired from Vancouver for Mitch Jones, with other draft considerations involved. That was a classic NLL deal in that outside factors led to the transaction. Small had moved back to St. Catharines, where he grew up as a Bandits fan. Jones wanted to return to Western Canada for personal reasons. It turned out to be a good fit. The Bandits had about 30 players turn up for the start of camp, well below the usual number. There isn’t time to give some young players long looks under the circumstances. Free agents Mark Steenhuis and Bill O’Brien have agreed to contracts, and were in the KeyBank Center on Saturday morning. Competition for roster spots will be fierce in these two weeks, since there’s not much time to make an impression on the coaches. The active player roster has been increased from 20 to 21, and there is a practice squad for young players, so only a handful of players will need to be cut before opening night. You can bet that the NLL’s new teams, Philadelphia and San Diego, will be watching the transactions wire closely to see if they can find players that can help them. The other order of business on Saturday was to check in on the status of Darris Kilgour, the former player, coach and general manager of the Bandits. Darris was involved in a Sept. accident that left him with two broken tibias, a broken femur and a dislocated knee. Rich reports that his brother is making good progress. Opening Day for the Bandits is on Saturday afternoon, December 15. The schedule will run through the end of April as the NLL had to cram to adjust its schedule to account for the two weeks lost to the labor dispute. But the teams still will play 18 games, and everyone is ready to turn the page and get to work. “It’s been a long summer, so I’m very excited to get back for sure,” Josh Byrne said.

Staff and students present at the HEA annual conference at the University of Manchester. BA (Hons) Graphic Design tutors Dr. Kirsten Hardie and Gabrielle Hass, and students Will Broomfield and Chris Kyte presented at the conference held on the 4th July. Alumni students Nicole Dujardin and Sophie Walker from BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design also contributed, exploring the importance of student engagement through partnership of students and staff working collaboratively. The presentation discussed a case study on ‘Be my Valentine’s’ exhibition and ‘Be my Partner’ AUB projects which examined students and staff working in partnership with the Priest’s House Museum and Garden in Wimborne, Dorset. The presentation considered the creative cross discipline work of undergraduates and staff from four distinct and different specialist courses working in partnership. The 2016/2017 Valentine’s live project created opportunities for students and staff from BA (Hons) Graphic Design, BA (Hons) Costume and Performance Design, BA (Hons) Creative Events Management and BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design to work in partnership to create a vibrant exhibition and supporting events and activities for and the Priest’s House museum.

A while back, I wrote a post about finding interesting free music posted on CDBaby now that they support lossless FLAC downloads. The ECM Jazz label is one of my favorite labels so I am always on the lookout for music in a similar vein. My current favorite download service is Bandcamp.com. It has always supported FLAC lossless downloads and even High Resolution Audio in the form of 96k/24b FLAC. Sometimes these are available for free or at a low price. I devised a google search that will find artists who have a "Name your price" and ecm and jazz on their Bandcamp page. Just use: "site:bandcamp.com "name your price" ecm jazz" There are some nice things out there to find!

60s hippie vintage drab green cotton bag, not marked or labeled that we could see. It has a sort of miltary surplus look, though the fabric is soft, not terribly heavy. It&apos;s 17 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 7 1/2" over the bag. This is worn and slightly dirty inside and out - we haven&apos;t touched it.

My experience with Canion hasn't been good, although I believe a proper manual would help (and yes I do know its unsupported yadda yadda yadda). It doesn't appear that the issues with Canion are consistent, although I would at least like to monitor charging rate (which I did once or twice) but lately that information is blank. Is there a way to force the app to show charging rate ? Note that I have a proper OBDLink dongle, not a crappy chinese one. I notice that at least some users are happy with Canion, but to date I haven't found any debugging clues. The app usually starts OK but what it shows varies with the day and there doesn't appear to be any way to control its whims. Maybe its just female ? I intend getting the OVSM board shortly, hopefully that will prove to be a more professional solution. anybody knows, why my my Trip Timer and my Trip Timer 2 is empty? Other menus working without problem. Canion is a bit touchy if you don't exit it by pressing "back" and confirming you want to exit the app. If you just shut down on cold blood, those two panels get reset to nothing. I use back and exit. I tried go some km, but trip timer all time empty. I dont know. Whot I need do to show data again? For me this problem was caused by one of the recent updates. I always exit the program cleanly with the back button so it wasn't that. To fix it I simply reconfigured the two screens - touch on the left hand side of each line and you choose what you want displayed there. My TripTimer and My TripTimer2 screens are fully customisable. I took the time to customise the screens, which I had not bothered with before. And question 2. If i have example power history and i select 24hour . It is possible zoom on specific area or not? dracekvo wrote: And question 2. If i have example power history and i select 24hour . It is possible zoom on specific area or not? Since Canion seems to be the app most affected by this issue I thought I would share the details in this thread. As we've suspected for a while, early OBDLink LX adaptors have a Bluetooth firmware bug that caused loss of pairing. This has now at last been officially acknowledged by Scantool and an RMA program is available to send the device back to have the Bluetooth firmware reprogrammed at the factory, then sent back to you. Unfortunately the Bluetooth firmware cannot be updated in the field - updating using the OBDLink Android app does NOT update the Bluetooth firmware, only the firmware for the main STN11xx chip. I was lucky enough to be sent an R9 adaptor last year as part of the troubleshooting process and can confirm that I don't have any Bluetooth pairing issues with the R9 revision. Although I was sent a new one without needing to send the old one back it looks like now they have openly acknowledged the problem and have a fix they asking for the devices to be RMA'ed in for a firmware update rather than sending out new adaptors, which is probably fair enough as it would probably be cripplingly expensive to just send out replacements to anyone affected!

The amendments also made updates to the notice filing requirements for issuers planning to make Regulation A, Tier 2 offerings in Iowa. An issuer who plans to make a Regulation A, Tier 2 offering must make a notice filing at least 21 days before the initial sale in Iowa is made. The notice filing must include either a completed Uniform Notice of Filing of Regulation A- Tier 2 Offering form or a Form U2. The issuer must also pay a filing fee of $400. To renew the notice filing each year, the issuer must file either a Uniform Notice of Filing of Regulation A- Tier 2 Offering form, a notice filing form stating “renewal,” or other document asking for renewal. The issuer must also pay a renewal fee of $400. The amendments also incorporated two NASAA policy statements. Under the amendments, the Iowa Administrator of Securities may deny a security’s registration if the Administrator finds that the registration does not sufficiently comport with the NASAA Statement of Policy Regarding Promoters’ Equity Investment. The Administrator of Securities may also deny a security’s registration if the Administrator finds that the registration does not sufficiently comport with the NASAA Statement of Policy Regarding Unequal Voting Rights. The amendments also added some procedures regarding use of electronic offering documents and electronic signatures. An issuer is permitted to distribute offering documents via the Internet or other electronic means by following certain procedures outlining the conditions under which an electronic document or electronic signature can be used. If an issuer wishes to allow the use of an electronic signature, the process that the issuer uses must comply with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and the Uniform Electronic Transfers Act.

Recruiters want to know how their future employees will juggle tasks and deal with tricky situations, so some of them test potential staff by using in-tray exercises and case studies that simulate working life. In-tray exercises test your ability to deal with a typical work situation: the full inbox. This is an individual exercise to see if you can deal with a pressure situation as quickly and efficiently as possible, and how you go about doing so. In-tray exercises are essentially role-plays. You'll be given a scenario, and must work through an in-tray (or inbox) full of typical paperwork within a time limit (often between 30 minutes to an hour). The items normally found in an in-tray include: phone messages, memos, letters, documents, reports, and e-mails, as well as a planner or calendar. The subject matter is usually related to the type of job you are going for, although sometimes, prospective employers may choose to throw in curveball topics to test your knack for prioritising. You have to read through the information, put it in order of priority for action, and then explain what type of action is required and how you will deal with each situation. You must be able to explain your decisions. Be prepared to justify your priorities, choices, and actions to your assessors. While you'll need to deal with every item before the time limit is up, don't panic, or you'll end up making mistakes. Take your time and read through everything carefully, but don't get overwhelmed by the details. Focus on making judgement calls based on the information you've been given. You are the marketing manager at Sangréal, a company that manufactures and sells cosmetics and female healthcare products. Sangréal's head office is in France, and Singapore is its APAC regional headquarters. Your boss is the marketing director, Jonathan Yong, and the managing director of the Singapore division is Christine Ang. You are a manager, so you can delegate to others. However, you are answerable to your directors, so keep them in mind when making important decisions. This e-mail is from your company's legal advisor. Legal action is a serious issue, so prioritise it as one of the immediate action tasks in the exercise. Your supervisors need to know about it, but you should also show that you can deal with problems efficiently. Check your in-tray for any relevant information you may need which could help this case, and compile all the facts you need. Remember – you're only a marketing manager, so you're not expected to solve this on your own! A good solution is to reply to Vanessa seeking her legal advice, and CC in your superiors, Jonathan and Christine. Fill them in on the facts you've dug up, and offer your input on how the company can resolve this issue. This is from one of your marketing staff. The informal tone gives you a hint of Alex's background – you've probably known him for some time now, or he wouldn't be writing to you so candidly. It's safe to assume that you can trust his recommendations as a long-time staff member. You'll have to make a judgement call here. Will you print at a lower cost for greater savings at the risk of compromising the quality of your billboard ads? Will you ask your supervisor to increase your marketing budget so you can maintain the quality of the materials? You'll have to decide, and be able to justify your response to your assessors. FYI: Aero France FR-365 delayed – plane malfunction. International marketing director only arriving on 5/10/2014 @ 4:30pm. So your company's international marketing director has just had his/her flight to Singapore delayed. Obviously, this is not high priority, but don't get caught out – you must still deal with this. As marketing manager, you'll probably have some meetings with this big-shot, so reschedule any appointments you may already have with him/her in your planner to match the new schedule. If your planner is already packed with other appointments, you'll have to shuffle those around as well to make the best use of your time. Hopefully by now, this gives you some idea of how to deal with such exercises: just think logically about the size and importance of the task, and about your position within the company. Case study exercises can be for individuals or groups. You will usually be given some information about a work-related scenario and asked to imagine that you’re part of a group of experts giving advice to a client/superior on the basis of the evidence. This will probably be carried out over a period of a few hours, and you are likely to have to make a presentation to the assessors at the end. You may also be drip-fed additional information to assess and respond to at specific intervals throughout the allocated time. Case studies are particularly popular in assessment centres for graduate jobs in banking, financial services, accountancy and management consulting, but they can also be part of assessments for other business sectors and industries. It's important to note that they are typically based on real-life business developments. A large publisher of magazines and books is looking to make a significant acquisition. It has identified a target company and approached a number of investment banks for their views on the merits of a potential deal and a target price. Based on these presentations, the publisher will decide whether to proceed with a bid and, if so, select one bank to act as their advisor. Your team is one of the investment banks bidding to win the mandate. You need to analyse the figures provided, to review the marketplace, your potential client (the publisher) and the target company. You must also prepare a five-minute presentation giving your recommendations (e.g. whether to go ahead, go ahead only under specific conditions, etc.). You may either be provided with a wealth of raw data alongside the scenario, or you and your group may have to dig up all the necessary information by yourselves somehow. Either way, you'll need to crystallise all these information into a workable action plan that you can present to your assessors. • Can I practise for these? Find out about the kind of business decisions the company you're applying with has to make, or has made recently. Remember – real-life situations may feature in the case study! You'll need a bird's-eye view of the current economic environment. Read the business pages of newspapers or magazines to get a feel for current business activity. Practise your mental arithmetic, as you may have to demonstrate your quantitative abilities without a calculator. Check with your university careers services. They may run workshops or relevant presentations on case studies. Join any practice sessions they host until you become familiar with the format. Though part of the aim of case studies is to help assessors see how you cope with the unfamiliar, research will still boost your confidence and help you tackle issues in a more informed way. You need to be clear about what you’re being asked to do. Start by reading through the information pack and assessing which parts of the information are relevant. Understand the problem, your role, and your objectives inside-out. Don't be afraid to ask for more information or clarification about something from your assessors if you’re unsure. This isn't an exam, and it's better to be clear about what's required than to take an educated stab... and miss. Some graduates actually give brilliant presentations, only to find out after it's all over that they completely missed the basic point of the exercise. Don't let this be you! If you’re working in a small group, you could divide up the tasks. You could, for instance, nominate someone to assess any new information passed to the group during the course of the exercise. Don’t dominate discussions, but do contribute to them – you should articulate what you’re thinking so your assessors can see how you approach problems. You'll need to manage your time, so ensure that your group has a timekeeper – whether you or someone else. Remember to allocate time to prepare for your final presentation, and be realistic about how much you can fit in to it. Lastly, don’t lose sight of your objectives! This may seem like common sense now, but after a few tiring hours of being immersed in the problem, you'll find that it's very easy to forget your original goal. Your final presentation should be relevant, clear and concise, and should include a summary of your conclusions and recommendations. Strengths-Based Interviews: They're All About You! Instead of just finding out what you are capable of, many employers are also interested in listening to what you like too. Here’s a quick guide to help you through such strengths-based interviews!

Riots or unlawful assemblies occur when crowds[?] of people have gathered and are committing crimes or acts of violence. Dispersing violent crowds is typically a task for the police, although widespread rioting may require military support. One reason unstable countries typically have paramilitary forces is because without them, rioting would be a daily occurrence. To control riots often non-lethal weapons are used, such as water cannons[?], rubber bullets, flexible baton rounds and riot control agent. Deadly force is used in some repressive countries to stop riots, particularly if martial law is declared or in a country at war. This is generally permissible under the laws of war so long as nonparticipating civilians are not intended targets. Collateral damage is a usual result.

On October 15, 2013, the Meeting of National Coordinators for China-CEEC Cooperation was held in Bucharest, capital of Romania. Song Tao, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Secretary-General of Secretariat for Cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries, and Dan Sova, Minister Delegate for Infrastructure Projects of National Interest and Foreign Investments and National Coordinator of Romania, co-chaired the meeting. The national coordinators or coordinator representatives from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia attended the meeting. The participants agreed that since the launch of the mechanism, China-CEEC cooperation has been developing with a good momentum and has achieved fruitful results. It has not only provided strong impetus to the development of bilateral relations between China and Central and Eastern European Countries, but also contributed to the development of China-EU relations. At present, China-CEEC Cooperation is showing strong vitalities and attractiveness and is moving forward with a more pragmatic, positive attitude. The participants focused their discussions on the next-phase cooperation and had an in-depth exchange of views particularly around high-level exchanges, trade and investment promotion, infrastructure development, scientific and technological exchanges, cultural and people-to-people exchanges.

Lammas - Time to harvest what you sowed - lindenherz1s Webseite! I just can’t believe how fast this year has just flown by that we’re already arrived at the first harvest of the year. But here we are at Lammas or Lughnasadh as the festival is also called and look at the result of our labours. Did we choose the right seeds? Did we nurture them enough with all of our strength? Was it worth it? And even if it was a failure, what did we learn from it? I love gardening, in my case gardening in small spaces which means getting the most out of a small balcony. But you would be amazed at what’s possible even in the smallest of spaces. My little balcony is home to a tomato plantation and all the plants that grow there I’ve nursed from seed to fruit. I never know with how many plants I’m ending up with when I put the seeds into the soil, but for some reason I was always quite lucky to have an abundant number of tomato plants that either find their home with me or I love to give them to friends and family. It is a very rewarding experience to witness the stages of growing your own food and it is sheer bliss when it’s finally time to harvest the first fruits and taste them. It never gets old to me. And isn’t it the same with projects and life plans in general? Maybe it started as a tiny idea months ago and you started to lay the ground for it. Then you tended it with all your good intentions, nurtured it with enthusiasm and all your heart’s love. You were able to see the first shoots and it encouraged you to continue, but there were eventually also times when you’ve felt that what you’ve planted didn’t grow as strong and fast as you’ve wanted it to do. I’ve been there myself, both in my life as a gardening witch and as the creatrix of something that hopefully becomes much more than just a tiny thought in my head. But it has evolved; it grew, even though there were seemingly no progress sometimes. It simply resulted in one simple realization: All that grows natural takes its time. The end of that process is portrayed in the tarot card Seven of Pentacles. I chose three different ways of depicting that theme. In the Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert a woman is about to plant a tiny cedar tree. She will probably never see that tree fully grown, but she lays the foundation for the future so that those who come after her have the possibility to marvel at the magnificence of a cedar tree. On the left side the Seven of Earth in the Vision Quest Tarot by Gayan S. Winter and Jo Dosé shows that this process sometimes can consume all of our energy and leaves us drained. This is the time, when we have to let go of what hasn’t worked out, question our goals, learn from our mistakes and make a fresh start. I finally feel like the content looking gardener in the Smith-Waite Centennial card. I’m now able to look at my first crop with a feeling of satisfaction. I know there is still a lot of work ahead of me, cause creative work like gardening or like in my case bringing a website into being means constant commitment. But for now I can lean on my hoe and be thankful for the first fruits of my labour. Amd oh my, do they taste sweet. Let me know what you've brought to fruition on this first harvest? Do you feel contented or drained? Did your plans work out or do you have to go back to the drawing board and what can you learn from it? What an excellent first article!!! I am very very glad, that you decided to open your own website and to let us (your readers) participate on your knowledge. Personally, I was able to learn that people are over-estimating what they can achieve in one year and underestimating what they can achieve in a decade. And so I am not satisfied with my personal reached goals, but I am happy with what I achieved anyway. Much love, sacred friend and dear fellow soul, and much success continues.

Cass County Electric Cooperative granted $5,000 to Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch to underwrite a portion of the purchase of a delivery truck to be used by Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch Thrift Stores across the state. All proceeds from Ranch Thrift Stores support the residential psychiatric and educational services the Ranch provides to children at three residential treatment facilities across the state. More and more children need the services provided by the Ranch, in part due to an increasing prevalence of parental mental illness and substance abuse. The costs of psychiatric treatment not covered by Medicaid or private insurance companies are underwritten by the Thrift Stores, as are the specialized education services not covered by state education dollars. Thanks to ongoing thrift store income, the Ranch can continue to provide the intensive wraparound programming necessary to provide hope and healing for our troubled, complicated, and amazing kids. Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is a Christian residential treatment and education center for children and their families. We help the most troubled, complicated, and amazing kids by providing best-in-class psychiatric therapy and trauma-informed care, where we look kids in the eye, walk with them, and help them become their best selves. In addition to Residential Treatment Facilities in Fargo, Bismarck, and Minot, the Ranch provides Outpatient Psychiatric and Psychological Services, and Spiritual Life Programs. Our on-campus school, Dakota Memorial School (DMS), provides a personalized education for kids who have psychiatric, behavioral, and trauma issues. Cass County Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit, member-owned electric distribution system, serving nearly 60,000 members in a 10-county area in southeastern North Dakota. The mission of Cass County Electric Cooperative is to serve their members' energy needs with affordable and reliable electricity.

I help clients see how we can change their business, not just their copy. I use my 15+ years of experience with words to help them see opportunities they may not have seen. And I make sure I’m here if they ever want to call me – whether that’s because someone’s not buying into the project, or because their cat’s really sick. More practically, I write copy. I support, cajole and inspire the team. I speak at conferences and events. And I read lots and lots about what really clever people know about language, communication and business. Because the best things happen when people understand each other, and I like helping people do that. I work on most Quietroom projects. Sometimes, my input might be no more than a quick chat with a writer after I’ve read their latest draft, or while they’re planning a workshop. Other times I’ll lead a project, write a strap line, run a workshop or direct a video. Over the last year or so, I’ve done lots of work with HSBC, Royal London, Channel 4, Vitality and The People’s Pension. Which project are you proudest of? I helped members of the Kodak Pension Plan understand the complicated and unwelcome choices they faced and gave them everything they needed to make the best decision for their future. And they did. I’m a dad, a trainee blacksmith and an actor. I played Stewart Pearson in The Thick Of It and Nick Jowett in Twenty Twelve. I’ve just finished filming Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for the BBC. What’s the most difficult thing you’ve ever written?

Last weekend I watched my adorable niece for my sister and brother-in-law. We snuck out of the house to have a little photoshoot in the fall colors. I'm a little biased, but seriously, T is the cutest little girl I know! I can't believe she's already over a year and half old! I had to wait to show you until I gave her mom and dad some early Christmas present prints! T does this all the time and it is usually accompanied by the sweetest little "ut oh!"

Stuck on increasing the number of unique visitors to your website? Still facing conversion ratios below 1 percent on your own website? You r website needs a serious makeover? Looking to integrate a social media strategy and a blog into your website? Think before you start. What is the goal of the site? Is the goal to generate revenue? Is it to maximize conversion? Is it to attract new customers, retain customers? Under ideal circumstances, what will the outcome be of your website? If your website has multiple goals, make sure you put them in the right order. Who are you trying to please? If it's the boss, what does he want? Is it a designer? Or maybe your representation company that wants all hotels within the chain to be equal, and therefore all fantastic brochures (yes offline, and therefore also online) should look the same? Is impressing a certain kind of person important? Which kind? How many people on your team have to be involved? The GM, Director of Marketing, Sales Managers, F&B managers, C&B managers, all department heads? Who are you trying to reach? Is it everyone? Potential customers? Returning customers? Other businesses? Leisure customers? Business customers? Groups? That group that you’re trying to reach, are there other sites that they already enjoy visiting? Maybe there is something you can learn from these sites. Are you trying to sell something online? How easy should it be to buy for your visitors? Make sure the buying functionality (i.e; booking engine) is simple to use. Is there a story that you’d like to tell? Are you providing your customers the right experience with that story? Do you gain permission to follow up with your client? Do you hope that your customers will watch you, and keep watching (following) you? Do you need people to talk about you using certain social media? Do you need to be marketed virally? Do people find the site via word of mouth? Is there ongoing news and updates that need to be presented to people? Is the site part of a larger suite of places online where people can find out about us, or is there this website only? Do you want people to call you? Keep in mind that offline conversion is and will always be much higher than online conversion. How often would you like people to come by? Who needs to update this site? How often? How often can you afford to (fully) revise this site? Google is continuously looking for fresh content, so you should be able to generate new content, easily, yourself, on your website. Does showing up in the search engines matter? Is it maybe more important then some of the previous points? Are you willing to sacrifice any? If showing up in the search engines matters, which keywords matter? Are you aiming for short tail keywords, mid tail, or long tail? How much do we want to spend to be found on all these keywords? Calculate this carefully, and just for fun, compare your website SEO cost to the commission that you pay your 3rd party websites. Will the site need to be universally accessible? Do languages or browsers play a role? How much money do you have to spend? How much time can we afford to spend? How much revenue do you want to generate? What if you don’t make target? What if you go over, far over? Latest Articles Get Expert Help!

Julie Kay Kelly has been chasing stories for as long as she can remember. Driven by a lifelong obsession with capturing the ephemeral, she trained at Stanford and the Columbia Journalism School before spending years as a radio, newspaper, and magazine journalist. Her storytelling has taken her from migrant worker centers to maximum security prisons, from the jungles of the Amazon to the heart of the luxury wedding world. In 2007 she launched her own storytelling and photography business. You can learn more about julie’s wedding work here. Julie has always found a deep magic in listening for and capturing stories. She believes that doing so helps us become present to the narrative arcs of our lives, more aware of the big picture, and increasingly attuned to the sacred in each moment. To listen for and capture a story is to honor deeply. It is to focus on what we love and cherish, and to create a way to celebrate it again and again. Julie believes our stories are all connected, and that love and celebration can be used as powerful assets. A percentage of proceeds from each storytelling project goes to people in need, many of whose stories Julie has had the privilege of capturing and sharing.

Cardiac rate is routinely assessed by the radial pulse. The examiner should stand in front of the patient and grasp both radial arteries. The second, third, and fourth fingers should overlie the radial artery, as shown in Figure 14-22. The examiner should count the pulse for 30 seconds and multiply the number of beats by 2 to obtain the beats per minute. This method is accurate for most regular rhythms. If the patient has an irregularly irregular rhythm, as is found in atrial fibrillation, a pulse deficit may be present. In atrial fibrillation, many impulses bombard the atrioventricular node and ventricles. Owing to the varying lengths of diastolic filling periods, some of the contractions may be very weak and unable to produce an adequate pulse wave despite ventricular contraction. A pulse deficit, which is the difference between the apical (precordial) and radial pulses, occurs. In such cases, only auscultation of the heart, not the radial pulse, provides an accurate assessment of the cardiac rate.

Paleologos over at DF has found another illustration by Jean Wells meant for B3 that was published in Polyhedron (issue #3, pg 10, "Plant Creature"). This one illustrates the Jupiter Blood Sucker, a new monster from the original orange covered B3 that didn't make it into the revised version. Paleologos suggests it is the precursor to the Vampire Rose in the revised version. A few days back I posted a picture of Greyhawk's Green Dragon Inn from the AD&D Coloring Album written by Gary Gygax (published by Troubadour Press, 1979 under license from TSR). This reminded me of a connection to the Blue Book: the map in the Coloring Album (by Greg Irons) is a redrawn version of the map in the Blue Book (possibly by David Sutherland based on a design from Holmes). This was originally brought to my attention in a review of the Album by Kent Kelly on the Acaeum. I've posted about this before on the DF and OD&D74 forums, so to justify revisiting the topic again I've made an improved visual (see above). I scanned the entire oversized map from the Coloring Album, which took three scans that then had to be stitched back together (if you look closely you can see the staples where the map overlaps the center of the book). I then juxtaposed this with the Blue Book map for a side-by-side comparison (click on the map above for a larger view). The Coloring Album is a strange chimera of two different activities. The first is the coloring book: an illustrated story of adventurers who meet at the Green Dragon Inn in Greyhawk City and begin a quest in "search of a fabulous treasure". The pages alternate telling the story with fantastic full-page scenes of the party encountering various AD&D monsters. The other activity is a board game entitled "Adventure in the Dungeon", also by Gygax. This game is somewhat like Dungeon!, features different characters from the coloring book story, and uses the map pictured above (found in the center of the coloring book). Some of the monsters in each are the same, some are different. The rules for the game are explained in short paragraphs at the bottom of each page that tells the coloring book story. Thus, a low level Basic dungeon is transformed into a high level dungeon for a simplified AD&D game. In a future post I'll review the rules for the board game. Maxwriter on the OD&D Discussion Forums alerted me to this a few weeks ago. The cover of Knights of the Dinner Table #177 (July 2011) pays tribute to David Sutherland's iconic cover of the Holmes Basic Set, with Brian as the wizard and Dave as the fighting man. It's by artist George Vrbanic. Coincidentally, I just read a KoDT compilation for the first time this past summer: Bundle of Trouble #23 (KoDT 77-80), which includes the "Dawgs of War" strip. I found it addictive & hope to read more, though the sheer number of issues is a bit overwhelming. As a follow up to last week's post on the Green Dragon Inn mentioned in the Blue Book, I spent a little time looking in to the publication history of the Green Dragon in Greyhawk, which I'd read was owned at one point by Robilar, PC of Rob Kuntz. "Here at the Green Dragon, a busy inn in a town on the shores of the Lake of Unknown Depths, a group of adventurers have met to plan a daring expedition in search of a fabulous treasure. They sit at an outside table, quaffing amber ale and charting their course to wealth beyond belief ... The innkeeper, his wife and the stableboy are all busy caring for the wants of the adventurers, for they known the party will soon set forth on their quest - possibly to return loaded with bright gold!" That's about it, other than the accompanying picture (see above) by Greg Irons, who illustrated the entire album in fantastic detail. See more pictures from it here. I found a "Green Dragon Tavern" in Dragon #37 (May 1980), but it's actually yet another one, found in a town in the module The Pit of the Oracle by Stephen Sullivan. What's ironic is that this same issue has a Sorcerer's Scroll column where Gygax states that "The City of Greyhawk might make a 1981 publication date, certainly 1982, and about the same time the series which will eventually represent the whole of the Dungeons of Castle Greyhawk will begin" and further provides information on Robilar (and other Greyhawk notables), but without mention of the Green Dragon. I also have Artifact of Evil (1986, TSR), which is a Gord the Rogue novel by Gygax, where the Green Dragon is the location of a brief meeting between Gord and his druid friend, Curly Greenleaf. The "Green Dragon Inn" is described as "a place frequented by foreigners, mercenaries, tough adventurers, and others of less savory aspect" (pg 35). There's another appearance in Night Arrant, a later Gord novel published after Gygax left TSR that I don't have a copy of. So it appears that most of what is now known about the original Greyhawk Green Dragon is from much more recent interviews and columns. Holmes' Green Dragon was first mentioned in the Blue Book, which was published in the Fall 1977. While it is possible he heard of the Greyhawk Green Dragon directly from Gygax or others at TSR, it is more likely a separate creation with a name inspired by Tolkien's Green Dragon in the Shire. Sacnoth's Scriptorium is a blog I follow, by John Rateliff, author of the excellent The History of the Hobbit (2007). See here for an interview with Rateliff about THotH. Besides having the original draft of the Hobbit (and a fascinating unfinished 1960 revision), the two volume THotH is crammed with detailed short essays on a wide variety of Tolkien topics related to the subject matter. Also of interest to gamers, Rateliff previously worked for TSR and WOTC. A long while back he wrote a great series of retrospective articles for free downloads of classic TSR modules available on the WOTC site, including one for the original orange-covered B3 Palace of the Silver Princess. And in relation to the legacy of Holmes Basic, he was the author of Return to the Keep on the Borderlands (1999), part of TSR's Silver Anniversary series. His blog covers a wide range of topics, personal and professional. Yesterday's post is a review of the Red Eye of Azathoth, a new scenario for The Call of Cthulhu. And so we come to the end of this year's Tolkien week. Here's a summary of Tolkien references in the Blue Book. - The 1st print (Lizard Logo, Fall 1977) uses "hobbits" throughout. The 2nd print (Lizard Logo, Jan 78) changes most to "halflings" but still uses "hobbits" in five locations. In the 2nd edition (Wizard Logo, Nov 78) and later printings a sole reference to "hobbits" remains, in the description of the spell "Cure Light Wounds". -Two references to Balrogs on page 14; discussed previously. -A reference to the "Nazgul of Tolkien" in the Monster List entry for Spectre (pg 32), and to "Barrow Wights (as per Tolkien)" in the entry for Wight (pg 33). These are straight from the original entries for Spectre and Wight in OD&D, Vol 2 (Monsters & Treasure), pg 9. It's clear from the above that Holmes edited the Blue Book from one of the earlier printings of the OD&D rulebooks (i.e., prior to the removal of the Tolkien references). While all of these references were removed from the OD&D booklets, only "hobbits" was removed from the Blue Book. -"lawful werebear" (pg 7); most likely a reference to Beorn in The Hobbit; discussed previously. -"Drego the thief" (pg 12). The name "Drego" is a very hobbit-sounding name; it is particularly close to Drogo, the name of Frodo's father in The Lord of the Rings. -"The imaginary universe of Dungeons & Dragons obviously lies not too far from the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's great Lord of the Rings trilogy" (pg 40); discussed previously. -"Green Dragon Inn" (pg 41); discussed previously. Tenfootpole has a new review of the Skull Mountain module, Jeff Sparks' take on the famous Blue Book cross section of levels, published in 2010 by Faster Monkey Games (and still available for purchase on their website) for the Labyrinth Lord system (a B/X retroclone). He's also posted the review in this review thread on Dragonsfoot, which has an earlier review by petespahn. See also last year's review by Grognardia. "The imaginary universe of Dungeons & Dragons obviously lies not too far from the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's great Lord of the Rings trilogy" (pg 40). This is one of the stronger statements in an early D&D rulebook associating the game with Tolkien's work. Gygax generally tried to distance the game from Tolkien. "[In the new Basic set] there is a page-long list of "inspirational source material" which is more complete than the one given in the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide. I didn't have such a list in the first edition; this is someone else's inspired idea. I wish I'd thought of it. Do you know there may be people out there playing a D&D game who have never read The Lord of the Rings?" "Literary inspiration for the worlds of the fantasy role-playing games comes from many sources. The fantasy worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and Chivalry & Sorcery are based on the myth and fairy tale. This field of literature is dominated by the work of one man in this century: J. R. R. Tolkien. Without the popularity of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, fantasy role playing would not have found the wide public it now enjoys. Despite this, most fantasy games are closer to the wild, blood-thirsty worlds of Fritz Leiber, Robert E. Howard, and L. Sprague de Camp ... As Dungeon Master, I have drawn extensively on the works of A. Merritt, Andre Norton, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, Edgard Rice Burroughs and H. Rider Haggard" (pg 46). "In the 1960's and 70's another phenomenon occurred which was to change the face of wargaming forever. J.R.R. Tolkien's wonderful book The Lord of the Rings was published in paperback and was discovered by an immense audience of young people. This epic adult fairy tale, without doubt the greatest work of fiction produced this century, inflamed the imagination of an entire generation. The story, as most readers now, involves the clash of great armies of men, elves, dwarves, goblins and magical creatures. The prelude to the epic, a children's classic, The Hobbit, is the tale of a quest to steal a dragon's hoard of gold. It wasn't long before wargamers were introducing armies of orcs and dwarves into their medieval battle plans" (pg 63). The comment regarding the "greatest work of fiction" is prescient in view of LOTR winning readers' polls for the best book of the 20th century. "The world of D&D is based on the legends, fairy tales and literature of Western Europe, with a scattering of items from other cultures. To some extent it resembles the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien's grand epic, The Lord of the Rings. The D&D world is filled with far more marvels than Tolkien's classic, however ... In many ways it is more like the ancient Hyperborean world of Robert E. Howard's Conan or the magic-ridden universe of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser than it is an imitation of Tolkien. The rules of D&D conform to Tolkien, however, and to a lesser extent to a common background of myth, fairy tale and literature" (pg 70-71). "At the Green Dragon Inn, the players of the game gather their characters for an assault on the fabulous passages beneath the ruined Wizards' tower" (pg 41). This name comes from the one in the Shire in The Lord of the Rings, which also independently inspired a Green Dragon in Greyhawk City owned by Robilar (PC of Rob Kuntz). According to Wikipedia, Green Dragon is "a popular name for public house in England and Wales". For example, see the screenshot above grabbed from Google Images. Dr. Holmes later used the Green Dragon in one of his Boinger and Zereth stories (The Sorceror's Jewel, Dragon #46, February 1981), where the inn is the residence of the heroes. Several events take place at the inn. In the beginning of the novel Maze of Peril (1986), a prequel to the earlier short stories, Boinger and Zereth meet for the first time at the Green Dragon. Boinger and companions hire Zereth to accompany them while exploring a newly discovered entrance to the ancient Underworld. The town in Maze of Peril, Caladan, is similar but not identical in detail to Portown. Finally, in his 1981 book on FRPGs, Dr. Holmes refers to a "player character sitting in the Green Dragon Inn or the Spaceport Cantina does not overlook a slighting remark from the cat-man at the next table. His hand drops to the hilt of his well-worn broadsword, or the handle of his laser pistol. "When you say that, stranger, smile so your whiskers stick out!"" Green Dragon Inn Part II, where I look into the history of the Green Dragon Inn in Greyhawk. As I noted, here the example of a Balrog PC has been changed to a centaur, werebear and Samurai. The most likely inspiration for "lawful werebear" in this list is Beorn from the Hobbit. Beorn travels with Bilbo and Gandalf twice, once to the edge of Mirkwood, and once on the return trip from the Lonely Mountain, a member of the "party". Thus, even though the reference to the Balrog has been changed the example retains a Tolkien influence. I consider this one of the Tolkien allusions added to the Blue Book by Dr. Holmes (there a few, which I will discuss further in another post). I started with D&D in 1982 at the tail end of the Holmes Basic era. My first set was Holmes Basic with B2 and chits. Two brothers who were neighbors had the same set, and the Monster Manual (which I found simply enchanting) and showed me how to play. My first character was a magic-user named Greedo (after one of my favorite Star Wars figures) who quickly ended up with a +10 dagger, +10 ring of protection and an artifact that could summon the creatures of the Zodiac. It was a blast, and I was hooked. These days I am a player in an AD&D group. I've been with my current group for over a year now, and we've been exploring T1-4 since last fall. We play twice a month, in person. I can be found at the Acaeum and OD&D Discussion forums as Zenopus, Dragonsfoot as Zenopus77, and Knights & Knaves Alehouse as Zenopus Archives. Yesterday I discussed the sources for the two references to Balrogs in the Blue Book. For the second day of Tolkien week, I'll discuss another instance where Holmes did not retain a reference to Balrogs. "There is no reason that players cannot be allowed to play as virtually anything, provided they begin relatively weak and work up to the top, i.e., a player wishing to be a Balrog would have to begin as let us say, a "young" one and progress upwards in the usual manner, steps being predetermined by the campaign referee" (pg 8). "Interestingly, I played a Balrog in Greyhawk. Yes, THE Greyhawk. Of course, I started as a 1 HD, very weak Balrog. THAT is the problem, and why Gary later changed his mind; there is virtually constant pressure from the player of an unusual character to power up her or his character, and only a referee of the judgement, skill, and determination of Gary, Rob, and Dave can juggle this without totally unbalancing the game." According to a post on Tome of Treasures (from the work of forum member harami), the reference to Balrog PCs persisted through the 5th printing of the OD&D set (~Spring 1976), finally being changed for the sixth printing (~late 1977) to replace "Balrog" with "Dragon". The other references to Balrogs (as well as Hobbits and other Tolkien references) were also removed from the 6th printing of OD&D. "At the Dungeon Master's discretion a character can be anything his or her player wants him to be. Characters must always start out inexperienced and relatively weak and build on their expedition. Thus, an expedition might include, in addition to the four basic classes and races (human, elven, dwarven, hobbitish), a centaur, a lawful werebear, and a Japanese Samurai fighting man" (pg 7). Thus, while Holmes retained several other references to Balrogs in the Blue Book, here he chose to replace the example of a Balrog PC with a centaur, werebear and Samurai, presumably because these are less extreme variants for a beginning DM to handle. The revised sentence is well remembered due to the evocative imagery of these non-standard types in conjunction with the wide distribution of the Basic Set. The idea of a Balrog PC might be more widely remembered if Holmes had retained the original example. SUBJECT: Fantasy role-playing rules are provided for an initial campaign. PLAYING TIME: This is discretionary; typically, four to six hours. KEY FEATURES: With the addition of a few new spells, this is straight Dungeons & Dragons— but only part of it. Essentially, this is a condensation and reorganization of material from the first three rule books plus the supplements that directly pertain to starting a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Only things appropriate to the first three character levels are included, so all the charts and tables are truncated. Also, included are a set of play aids useful for the beginner: polyhedral dice, a monster and treasure list for random encounters, and a set of “dungeon geomorphs”—uncoded modular sections that can be arranged in different ways to construct a dungeon setting quickly. COMMENTS: Basic Dungeons & Dragons is only a starter set and effectively obsolete a few weeks after you get a campaign going. It was written (“edited,” if you prefer) by someone outside the TSR establishment who knew a noun from a verb, and the difference shows. It’s still a long jump short of perfection, but you can read this and generally understand what’s going on. The playing aids are useful, if only as examples. It’s still preferable to participate in an ongoing campaign, but if you must venture into RPG country without a guide, this is the first place to visit. OVERALL EVALUATION: Good but incomplete. I've added a new section to the website that will cover contemporary reviews. This is a review of one of the earlier printings of the Basic Set. The Geomorphs and M&TA were gone by the second edition of Nov 1978, so this review was a bit out of date by the time book was published. By 1980, the Basic Set was already on to its second module (B2). The recognition of Holmes' editing skills is nice, though a bit harsh on the grammar of the LBBs, which I don't think are as poorly written as commonly perceived. Holmes, after all, in many places uses language directly from the LBBs. Today is the first day Tolkien Week, which is the week containing Hobbit Day (Sep 22, the birthday shared by Bilbo and Frodo). To kick it off I'll discuss the Balrogs in the Blue Book. The Blue Book contains two references to Balrogs, each on page 14. These refer to the original OD&D text rather than being additions by Holmes. The first mentions that they are highly resistant to magic, and is a reference to the original entry for Balrogs in Monsters & Treasure (pg 14). The second reference describes Balrogs as being able to shatter Hold Portal spells. This is from the original description of the Hold Portal spell in Men & Magic (pg 23), and was probably inspired by the Balrog who broke Gandalf's spell on the door when the Fellowship was in Moria. While the OD&D books were eventually revised to remove these references to Balrogs, they were never removed from the Blue Book. Paleologos continues his excellent art archaeology over at DF, this time turning up a Jean Wells illustration from Polyhedron #4 that shows Duchess and Candella from B3. See here. And Frank Mentzer popped in to confirm this. Tangentially, I'll add that B3 (and B4) has some notes on the using the module with the Holmes Basic Set. In a previous post on Rules Expansions, I mentioned a late 1980 Gateway to Adventure catalog that shows the Holmes Basic Set side-by-side with an unpictured but soon-to-be-released Expert Set. A screenshot of this is above, taken from a scan of a page posted by TheMilford at the Tome of Treasures in 2009. As you can see, it's actually just the booklets that are advertised rather the whole sets. (If anyone has this catalog, please let me know if there is another entry for the sets). While the listing shows the cover of the Blue Book, it is given the product code 2014, which was used for the Moldvay Basic Set rulebook. Most likely the new rulebooks were in production but not ready for photography at the time this catalog was prepared. The same page also shows the first print of B2 (written for Holmes) rather than the revised B/X version, and also has an unpictured listing for the module B3 (the first module for Moldvay), "the newest of the instructional settings for the D&D Basic Set". Still, if you saw this catalog in 1980 you would probably have assumed that the forthcoming Expert Set was going to be a companion to the existing Holmes Basic Set, rather than the significant revision with new cover artwork that eventually appeared in 1981. Earlier in the year (Dragon #35, March 1980), Gygax had revealed that "Design is now hard at work on the second boxed D&D game, the Expert Set. It will take players through at least 12th level of experience, tie in the best of the “Original” material, and actually add some new classes, spells, magic, monsters and so on." In context, this appeared to be an Expert Set that would complement the Holmes Basic Set. The above catalog entry is the closest TSR got to advertising this mythical Holmes Expert Set. Does anyone remember seeing this catalog at the time? Later copies of the Gateway to Adventure Catalog with the same cover, including the one I have from a Moldvay Set I found at a Goodwill in the mid-80s, replace the above entries with the B/X Sets. The copy from the Tome of Treasures site was found with a first print Cook/Marsh Expert Set. Traveller at the Acaeum reports a minor revision to the Gray Book, to fix "a problem with haste and slow spells not explaining how they affect the targets". I've updated the link on the Rules Expansions page on my website. Variable Weapon Damage for Holmes - What If? This table is derived from a similar table on page 15 of Greyhawk, which was the only published "complex system for advanced play" allowing for variable weapon damage available at the time Holmes edited the Blue Book. The Holmes equipment list is nearly identical to that from OD&D, so all of the Holmes weapons are found in the Greyhawk table, and are reproduced here. I included weapons referenced in the Holmes rules but not found in the equipment list: sling stone, javelin, club, war hammer and quarter staff. Of these, the war hammer and sling stone are found in the Greyhawk table. For javelin, club and quarter staff I used values from AD&D. The exception is javelin, which I changed to 1-4 (in line with Moldvay) to balance its far greater range versus the spear. The notation on two-handed weapons comes from Holmes, page 20, which refers to the "heavy two-handed sword, battle axe, halberd, flail, morning star, and most pole arm". All of these are also indicated in the Greyhawk table as needing 4' or more of space on each side of the wielder. I've also added the costs for each weapon for comparison purposes. One complaint regarding variable weapon damage is that the magic-user suffers, being reduced to doing only 1-4 points of damage. This can be offset by allowing the magic-user to use the quarter staff. The Rules Expansions section of the site is newly revised following discussion on OD&D74. 1. Extrapolate from the Holmes Basic rulebook. Internally consistent rules for 4th level characters, at the very least, can easily be generated by extending the tables in Holmes (although they will not necessarily match other versions of the game). Higher levels begin to require more work as magic-users would have the undescribed 3rd level spells, though some of these can be matched to magic items with similar effects. Hints for higher levels are sprinkled throughout the rulebook and the module B2. 2. Use OD&D. Dr. Holmes edited the Basic rulebook from the original D&D books and supplements, and thus the rules are in many ways closest to OD&D + some of Greyhawk. At the time of release of the Holmes Basic set in the fall of 1977, no AD&D rulebooks were available. Furthermore, the Holmes Basic set was originally packaged with the Monster & Treasure Assortment Levels 1-3, a product designed for OD&D. The M&TA assortment was eventually replaced by the module B1, which contained some further references to rules from Greyhawk. Thus, the OD&D rules are perhaps the most natural to use if expanding Holmes Basic. 3. Use AD&D. The Holmes Basic rules direct the player to AD&D for expanded play, including higher levels, in nine different locations. In Dragon #35 (March 1980), Gygax told us that the references to AD&D were added to Dr. Holmes' original draft by TSR. It's unclear whether or not they simply added the word "Advanced" where Holmes had written "Dungeons & Dragons". The rules themselves are closer to OD&D than AD&D. A few new M-U and Cleric Spells that later appeared in the Player's Handbook in 1978 were added to Holmes Basic. 4. Use the 1981 Expert Set rulebook (edited by Cook/Marsh). In Dragon #35, Gygax also revealed that "Design is now hard at work on the second boxed D&D game, the Expert Set. It will take players through at least 12th level of experience, tie in the best of the “Original” material, and actually add some new classes, spells, magic, monsters and so on." In context, this appeared to be an Expert Set that would complement the Holmes Basic Set. A late 1980 Gateway to Adventure catalog shows the Holmes Basic set side-by-side with an unpictured but soon-to-be-released Expert Set. However, when the Expert Set finally arrived in 1981 it was accompanied by an entirely new Basic Set that replaced the Holmes Basic set (although TSR continued to have the original in stock through the Mail Order Hobby Shop until at least 1986). To aid owners of the original Basic set who did not wish to buy a new set, the Cook/Marsh rulebook contained a section on page X4 titled "Using D&D Expert with an early edition of D&D Basic" which began "If your copy of the D&D Basic rules has a blue cover with a picture of a dragon on it, then this section is for you". This section then provides a summary of the "new material found in the 2nd edition of D&D Basic". Thanks for Falconer on OD&D74 for inspiring the above list. Swords & Wizardry is an OD&D retroclone. The Core Rules 4th printing (May 2011) includes an optional "Blue Book" order of events for combat. On the page "References in the rulebook that are not described" (which can be a tool for clarifying/expanding/integrating Holmes), revised Part B "REFERENCES TO WEAPONS NOT FOUND ON THE EQUIPMENT LIST" to include references to war hammers, clubs and cutlasses. The war hammer is missing from the Holmes equipment lists, despite the 1st print of Holmes mentioning a War Hammer +1 (pg 35, Armor and Weapons list), +2 (pg 35, explanation of Magical Weapons) and +3 (pg 6, Dwarves). This does not originate in Holmes, since the Men & Magic equipment list is also missing a war hammer while Monsters & Treasure has a War Hammer +1, +2 and +3 in the Miscellaneous Weapons magic item list (pg 24). Greyhawk includes only a "Dwarven Hammer" in the variable weapon damage table that does 1-6 damage (pg 15). Acaeum member dwarf has shown me evidence of a fifth printing of the UK rulebook with prices missing from the product list on the back cover. The text of this printing otherwise appears to correspond to the US "2nd Edition, Nov 1978". I'm calling this the fifth printing because TSR rulebooks without prices are generally later than the ones with prices. I'm going to start posting updates to the Zenopus Archives site here on the blog. Since ZA is a Google Site, it's easy to have a blog associated with it. If you follow this blog you can see when I've made an update without going to the site. 8/13 - Link to "Beneath The Ruined Tower of Zenopus" pod-play drama! "What lies in the (undiscovered) deeper levels where Zenopus met his doom?"
