The change is possible through the use of heat pumps, wind power, heat storage and demand response.
Heating accounts for about half of the energy consumed by the Finnish homes. Some of the researchers from the Smart Energy Transition project have now created a model for a fossil fuel-free Finland that proposes new solutions for phasing out completely coal and other fossil fuels from district heating.
In a fossil fuel-free Finland, the quantity of wind power would increase ten-fold and there would be a six-fold increase in the quantity of heat produced by heat pumps that make use of excess heat, geothermal heat and other ambient heat. With these solutions, Finland could eliminate fossil fuels rapidly and in a cost-effective way.
'It is important for decision-makers and actors within the sector to understand that it is not possible to significantly increase further the use of biomass to generate energy. For this reason, the focus must shift to heat pumps, wind power, heat storage and demand response, explains Professor Armi Temmes of Aalto University, who is leading the project.
The proposed model shows that a clean district heating system is technically feasible even in large cities. For example, the fossil fuels used for producing district heating in Helsinki could be mostly replaced with heat pumps (1100 MW), which would amount to about ten Katri Vala power plants. Some of the heat pumps would be located in machinery halls, office buildings, shopping centres, schools, businesses and housing companies. In order to produce the electricity consumed by these heat pumps, about 170 wind turbines would be required (700 MW), and these could be built in areas with ideal wind conditions such as Ostrobothnia or Lapland.
Alongside heat pumps and wind power, heat storage technologies will be needed to even out the electricity supply from wind and solar power. In cold climates, heat storage is a significantly cheaper option than electricity storage. In fact, when heat storage is included in district heating networks, the costs can be as low as 1 % of those of electricity storage. Electricity storage and demand response in residential buildings are suitable solutions for variations of supply lasting from few seconds to several hours However, heat storage can be used to store energy for days, weeks or even months.
'Weekly heat storages would provide sufficient flexibility in Helsinki, for example, as periods of low wind normally last no longer than a few days. Periods of insufficient wind power can be dealt with in district heating networks in a cost efficient way through the use of heat storages and flexible, green Combined Heat and Power (CHP)', explains Samuli Rinne, one of the researchers involved in the Smart Energy Transition project at Aalto University.
'The system can shift between different energy sources depending on electricity market prices. When it's very windy and electricity is cheap, the heat pumps can use wind power and the heat storages can be filled up. When it's not windy and electricity is expensive, the heat pumps empty out the heat storages and the bio-CHP plants are turned on', Rinne explains.
'Instead of setting heat pumps and district heating networks against each other, models which combine the two should be developed. We have researched the business activities that are developing around clean energy solutions and have seen that in Finland there is already a lot of expertise in this area. Finland can benefit by being actively involved in the development of technology and markets which combine variable wind and solar power with district heating networks', Armi Temmes emphasises.

Q: Typescript how to pick and combine nested type as root type I have single type, I would like to reuse this type for concatenation data:
interface MetaData {
  user: {
    id: string;
    fullName: string;
  },
  stats: {
    following: number;
  },
  another: {
    any: any;
  }
}

I would like to combine some nested type by keys
(Ex: type Profile = PickAllNestedKey<MetaData, 'user' | 'stats'>
I have to try this code but it can be Pick only single key
type NestedPartial<T, K extends keyof T> = {
   [P in keyof T[K]]: T[K][P];
};
type Profile = NestedPartial<Metadata, 'user'>;

Expected type like:
interface Profile {
  id: string;
  fullName: string;
  following: number;
}

A: I'll approach this from two different angles.
The first one is to question the structure of the types. Why aren't the nested types explicitly defined? Maybe the type structure can be improved? Here is what I mean:
interface User {
  id: string;
  fullName: string;
}

interface Stats {
  following: number;
}

interface Another {
  any: any;
}

interface MetaData {
  user: User,
  stats: Stats,
  another: Another
}

type Profile = User & Stats

Defining smaller and atomic types which target one entity at a time greatly improves readability and code maintenance. You are then free to use the smaller types wherever you see fit, and don't need to create them from the large type. In other words, this switches the approach from a top-bottom approach (create a big type and then use Pick, Omit, etc. to build the smaller types) to a bottom-up approach (define the individual types which then are used as building blocks for more complex types).
That said, it is not always possible to be in control of the types we are working with. Therefore, here are a couple of places where you can find some guidance on how to work with nested Picks:

*

*https://gist.github.com/staltz/368866ea6b8a167fbdac58cddf79c1bf

*https://github.com/piotrwitek/utility-types

A: Based on your example, it looks like the desired behavior is to Pick the top-level properties of MetaData and then "flatten" the results.
The issue with your current attempt is the keyof T[K].  If K is a union like 'user' | 'stats' then T[K] is a union of two objects { id: string; fullName: string; } | { following: number; }.  There are no shared keys on that union.  Therefore there is no P assignable to P in keyof T[K].
If we just Pick the properties we want and index them by the keys then we get almost the desired type, except that it's a union and we want an intersection.  Pick<T, K>[K] resolves to:
{
    id: string;
    fullName: string;
} | {
    following: number;
}

We can make use of @jcalz's UnionToIntersection<T> utility type to solve that.
type UnionToIntersection<U> =
   (U extends any ? (k: U) => void : never) extends ((k: infer I) => void) ? I : never

type NestedPartial<T, K extends keyof T> = UnionToIntersection<Pick<T, K>[K]>;

type Profile = NestedPartial<MetaData, 'user' | 'stats'>;

resolves to:
type Profile = {
    id: string;
    fullName: string;
} & {
    following: number;
}

Hugo is a static site generator written in Go. It is designed to build a site based on markdown files with header information in YAML or TOML. It uses Go templates and compiles a full site very rapidly. No built-in IndieWeb support, but adding microformats to templates is relatively straightforward.
Daniel Goldsmith wrote the nanopub micropub-endpoint specifically for use with Hugo. Provides implementation for notes, articles, check-ins, bookmarks and replies.
There is a small nifty wordpress-to-hugo-exporter plugin for Wordpress, which exports Posts and Pages from a WordPress site into a files and directories hierarchy ready to be used with Hugo (one would still need to configure/create a theme, etc. before being able to actually compile the site).

Google and Facebook's grip on the digital advertising ecosystem also extends soundly into the realm of digital video, according to new research from Wyzowl.
The company, which creates animated explainer videos, conducted a worldwide survey of marketers in December 2017, finding that YouTube and Facebook were considered the first- and second-most effective video platforms for marketing—in that order.
Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter were middle-of-the-pack finishers when it came to effectiveness. But one interesting result was that Snapchat was in last place for usage. Nearly 90% of respondents said they'd never used Snapchat's video advertising features.
That might be due to the fact that Snapchat has long focused its efforts on mature markets in North America and Europe, where more money is spent on video advertising—and where consumers tend to have more advanced smartphones capable of handling the app's intense data and processor requirements.
But Wyzowl also found that even among those who had used Snapchat for video marketing, only 27% thought it was an effective channel, raising questions about the platform's ability to deliver return on investment.
In September 2017, eMarketer revised its worldwide ad revenue estimates for Snapchat downward, due in part to slower-than-expected user growth. We predict the platform will generate $1.47 billion in ad revenues this year, a figure that's still up 90% from 2017's tally.
Meanwhile, Wyzowl noted that LinkedIn was an often overlooked video advertising channel, and one respondents said delivered results. While just 38% of marketers polled posted video content on LinkedIn, 75% of them thought it to be a successful way of reaching target audiences.
While LinkedIn is most often thought of as a business-focused platform, it has also avoided many of the brand safety problems recently suffered by YouTube and Facebook, perhaps increasing its appeal among marketers.

Sometimes the best vacations are staying home and relaxing or just going to the new ride at your local amusement park. As some of you may know, I live in San Antonio, home of Fiesta Texas. They recently opened the new Batman Ride, so I had the opportunity of checking it out.
The Batman ride was crazy! It lasted only 30 seconds but they were the longest 30 seconds of my life! If you like excitement and getting super dizzy, this is your kind of ride. I was a little hesitant on going, but once I was there I had a blast!
I had so much fun getting on the rides and almost having a heart attack! A lot of my childhood memories came rushing back to me! Fiesta Texas never gets old, and it is always a great idea.

Citation: Husband G (2015) The impact of lecturers' initial teacher training on continuing professional development needs for teaching and learning in post-compulsory education, Research in Post Compulsory Education, 20 (2), pp. 227-244.
Abstract: This paper presents the initial findings of a research project that aims to investigate the impact of teacher training for lecturers in post-compulsory education on engagement with continuing professional development (CPD) for learning and teaching. The majority of colleges and universities operating in the UK now ensure that all teaching staff are given access to training in skills for learning and teaching. This training can take many different forms and this paper explores the potential differences in outcome and influence on engagement with CPD and lifelong learning of graduates from these programmes. For the study, 18 lecturers from different colleges (one large multi-campus college in Scotland and another in Wales) provided narrative accounts about their professional background, training and qualifications prior to initial lecturer training and their route into teaching in further education. Respondents then engaged in semi-structured interviews about their experiences in lecturer training and ongoing engagement with CPD and further learning post-training. The findings indicate that respondents feel insufficient emphasis is placed on vocational skills training, meeting special educational needs and classroom management techniques. Lecturers agree that CPD in learning and teaching is very important but the research data show lack of meaningful engagement with the training options currently available. Recommendations are made to colleges to increase the practical and vocational focus and content of teacher training for lecturers whilst acknowledging the importance of allowing novice practitioner status. The requirement for access to high-quality, valid and targeted CPD is highlighted, with lecturers acknowledging the importance of training and expressing the desire to engage with relevant courses in learning and teaching.

Dolau, Llandrindod Wells
A four bedroom, semi detached, converted woollen mill situated on the edge of the village of Dolau in mid - Wales. The property has been extended and renovated and is accessed via it's own driveway on the edge of a stream. With riverside views and bordering woodland and the added bonus of an additional detached pottery studio and good sized garden Cwm Arran Mill really is a must view property.
Superb semi detached, stone-built former 18th century woollen mill, situated just outside of the small hamlet of Dolau and eight miles from Llandrindod Wells. Set over three floors, Cwm Arran Mill is immaculately presented throughout, with original features and character wooden beams which have been beautifully preserved. The accommodation in brief comprises : Kitchen, living room, conservatory, boot room, four bedrooms and family bathroom. Ample parking, good sized garden plot and additional detached former pottery studio with electric plug points, lighting and water connected.
Enter through the porch covered front door directly into the good sized living room. With large open stone fireplace, dual aspect windows and high ceiling a typical feature of most mills. There is ample space for three piece suite and dining suite and additional storage in the form of an understairs cupboard.
The glorious 'country' kitchen can be accessed from both sides of the living area and has terracotta tiled flooring throughout. A large, light room excellently-equipped with island in the centre, Belfast sink, copious amounts of wall and base units and Stanley range cooker. Worktops and central island all have white quartz stone tops. This area has been extended by the addition of a good sized conservatory to the side complete with additional boot room. A wonderful area for admiring and accessing the garden beyond and creating a well thought out additional dining area.
The first floor houses three of the four bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both double bedrooms on this floor are of a generous size, bedroom one containing stunning original beams which simply ooze character and bedroom one's main feature being the beautiful views across the welsh countryside. Bedroom one also provides access to the roof space which contains the boiler. The third bedroom on this floor currently houses a single bed and desk, however would easily accommodate a small double bed if desired. The family bathroom contains WC, sink and good sized walk in shower. Cleverly added Louvre doors create a large, private shower area and mean that the bathroom can be accessed whilst the shower is in use if desired.
Garden and parking
Cwm Arran Mill sits on a good sized plot which currently provides parking for approximately six cars. There is also a good sized area newly covered in Cotswold stone and interspersed with bespoke flower beds, creating a garden which is low maintenance but extremely pleasing on the eye. The additional former pottery studio sits further up the garden area and is a solid, detached building with concrete floor and has the benefit of electric plug points, lighting and water connected with Belfast sink and lots of natural light.
The property is situated near the rural village of Dolau which has a primary school and an active train station on the Heart of Wales line (Swansea to Shrewsbury). Penybont is 3.5 miles away and has a pub with restaurant. The well known Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells (8.5 miles) is the nearest town. It offers local amenities which include supermarkets, pharmacy, hospital, post office, hotels, a number of restaurants, primary and secondary schools, leisure centre, golf course and the town lake offering children's play areas, lakeside restaurant and picnic areas. Other nearby towns include Knighton (10 miles) and Rhayader (13 miles).
Mains electricity and water are connected to the property. Oil fired central heating. Private drainage
Council Tax Band C. Freehold
From Knighton proceed along the A488, signposted to Llandindod Wells. Follow this road for approximately 10 miles passing through the villages of Bledffa and heading towards the village of Dolau. Continue along this road until you see the church on the left and the chapel on the right. Take the next right and follow the road to the bottom, at which point you will reach the gated driveway to Cwm Arran Mill

The start of earnings season always has an impact on Wall Street, and Friday was no different.
Even before they were published, the earnings of J P Morgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo were already estimated to be huge in the three months to the end of March.
And for the most part they didnt disappoint, ensuring earnings season got off to a flying start.
J P Morgan beat estimates with net income up 35% – compared with the same quarter a year earlier – to $8.7bn. Meanwhile, Citigroup reported a 13% rise in net income compared with the same quarter a year earlier, to $4.6bn. Wells Fargo was the only fly in the ointment reporting a 9% fall in net income in the first quarter to $7.7bn.
With tax cuts, rising interest rates and a general spirit of more robust economic growth, such stellar results are hardly surprising.
In just the past three months, analysts have more than doubled their forecasts for the financial sector as a whole, with banks leading the way.
So, are we back into rally territory? Has the market volatility of the past two months been put aside? Will Wall Street continue to reach ever higher?
Perhaps, but there is still the possibility of a trade war with China and, even if that doesnt occur, the imposition of tariffs in the recent weeks has yet to bite. There is also the potential for a real – not trade – war in the Middle East too.
Both things, oddly, have the potential to balance each other out: while Chinese tariffs might hurt the US economy, a contained conflict in the Middle East would probably boost economic growth.
But a war would also require borrowing, which the Trump Administration is already pushing to limits that are making Republican politicians particularly uncomfortable, thanks to the tax cuts passed by Congress at the end of last year.
What is certain is that if the banks are doing well, there should be few US businesses doing badly.
So the prospects for the first US earnings season of this year seem pretty good. If earnings are strong, then the first estimate of quarterly US GDP in two weeks time should also be strong.
All of which should see the Dow Jones rise, perhaps back as far as 26,000, perhaps well beyond. And therein lies the danger. Could Wall Street take a strong earnings season and run with it to the extent that the Dow races towards 30,000? But if it does, the danger will be, of course, that when it falls, it falls further than it did at the start of February.
Taken together with tariffs, the effect of which will only really begin to be felt in the second quarter, and there is an, admittedly small right now, danger that we could see a crash later in the year. No-one wants that.
But equally, strong earnings from the banks are only likely to convince America of its own economic invincibility and Wall Street has shown itself capable of getting carried away in recent months.

"Don't worry about your baby achieving developmental milestones as they are listed for a typical child. Your baby will do it!
Thank you for inviting me! I am a mother of four kids. Hugo is 11, Marlo and Sabine are eight-year-old twins, and our lovely Dashiel will be two this June. I am very fortunate to be a homemaker and have the opportunity to homeschool my three older children. We live in a brick house with our Standard Poodle, Fabio, and our cat, Evie, on the edge of the village of Saugerties, NY. Dashiel was a surprise pregnancy and was born on my 45th birthday. We had found out at my 20-week ultrasound appointment that our baby had a heart defect called Tetrology of Fallot, and a few weeks later were told there was a good chance that he would have Down syndrome. My husband, Cesar, and I made the choice to deliver our baby at NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital, as there was a chance that he would need heart surgery soon after birth. We were told to plan on a two-week hospital stay, but two weeks turned into four days short of six months.
What has the experience of raising Dashiel been like for you, from raising him for 6 months in the NICU to bring him home and integrating him with the rest of the family?
Raising Dash in the hospital was interesting. It took me longer than maybe it should have to see that the hospital was his home. Dash was born with a full head of red, spiky hair and weighed 8lbs, 1oz, which made him look like Goliath compared to most of his NICU neighbors! That head of hair was what pulled in the nurses, respiratory therapists, and even members of the cleaning staff. Everyone wanted to see the baby with the great hair. The nurses loved him. Watching how sweetly they cared for Dashiel gave me the strength to travel home to love on my older children every other day. If I could have ripped myself in two, I would have. It was very difficult to have my babes separated by such distance, for so very long. Dashiel's first morning at home was a dream come true for me. To have all my children snuggled onto the bed at once was a very healing experience for my mama soul. My big kids have been by my side learning along with me how to best encourage Dash to eat, move, learn American Sign Language and play. He has thrived at home and his brothers and sisters have played a major role in his growth and development.
How has Dashiel changed the lives of your Instagram followers?
Sharing Dashiel's journey has brought such love and encouragement to our family. I am constantly amazed when followers write how seeing a photo of his happy face on their feed each morning lifts their spirits. Other followers share that they have sent prayers to Dashiel and our family. This support comes from people around the globe. With news that prenatal testing and selective abortion are on the rise, I hope that Dashiel will continue to be a happy light on Instagram, and that our story may help other families to not have fear of his diagnosis. A follower from Australia, and longtime friend recently wrote, "You have made me re-examine my attitude to Down syndrome & also highlighted my lack of understanding of the condition." These words were huge for me.
A few of Dashiel's nurses began to follow my Instagram feed while he was still living in the hospital. It was wonderful to share more of our life with them. I wanted his daily caregivers to see photos of Dashiel in his hospital isolette next to portraits of his siblings in our home. I hoped this would help them to see Dash as more than a patient under their care. I wanted them to know he had a place in our family and that we were all anxiously waiting for Dashiel to be well enough to live with us. In mid-December 2016, Dashiel was finally discharged to our home. The nurses continued to follow Dashiel's journey as he adjusted to life at home and watched as our family adjusted to a medically fragile baby now in our daily care. Those first days and months of caring for Dash were precious, but at times, also tricky and stressful. Our favorite nurses read between the lines of my posts and sent me private DMs and text messages asking if I was okay and gave me their support. A nurse who developed a tight bond with our babe has offered to travel update and babysit the Dashiel and the kids so that Cesar and I could have a few undisturbed hours together. I love these men and women. When I imagine Dashiel's future, I see these people from the NICU and PICU playing an active role in his life. I was Dash to know where he lived for so long, and to know the hands and faces of those individuals who cared for him when I could not.
What made you choose to share your story via Instagram in the first place?
I've had an account on Instagram since 2012, before that I shared our daily life on a blog. Instagram fulfilled the desire in me to create memories through captured moments on my iPhone and journal parts of my everyday in a quick and easy format. I have formed real friendships with other mothers through this platform. These friends were excited about this new miracle of birth about to take place and shared in our collection of squares. Then Dash was born and taken straight away to the NICU and I had no newborn in my arms to photograph. No photo of our new family of six. We realized that Dashiel did indeed have Down syndrome and were gaining more information about the defect of his heart as we waited to hear the decision of when his first surgery would take place. The waiting was frightening. The day I first shared information about Dashiel on my public Instagram account was liberating for me. It forced me to own that we had real challenges to face and that our future was a bit uncertain. To tell the world, and our families, that Dashiel had Down syndrome was important, but what I really needed them to know was that I undeniably loved him and knew he was meant to be a part of our family.
2. It's okay to cry. It's okay to mourn the loss of the baby of your dreams who is not before you. Now hug and kiss the baby who is in your arms. He needs you. Your baby does have a bright future, so dream big!
3. Don't worry about your baby achieving developmental milestones as they are listed for a typical child. Your baby will do it! He will crawl. He will walk. He will talk one day. Enjoy your child in each of his stages of growth. Neither your child's diagnosis of Down syndrome, nor his congenital heart defects, defines him, or your life as a family.
4. You are the voice for your baby. Ask questions. Find a local Down syndrome group to connect with other families.
5. It is possible to breastfeed your baby with Down syndrome. Breastfeeding not only is the best form of nutrition for your infant, it is also a wonderful form of exercise and therapy for your child's mouth. The muscles used while breastfeeding will later help his ability to speak clearly.
I've noticed through Instagram that there are a few conferences held for families of children with Down syndrome. I feel like my legs are finally back under me, allowing for the kids and I to make progress in our new normal daily life. I think I'm ready to sign up for a conference to educate myself more on all the good that is before us with Dashiel in our lives. I would like to meet more families who are sharing this life journey with us. I can't wait for Dash to have a little buddy of his own one day. Three of my favorite Instagram accounts who share their daily lives with a young child who had Down syndrome are @sarahszu, @rightnao and @rafigrowsinbrooklyn. I've learned much from their examples of a teaching heart and finding joy in the everyday.


The UN donors' conference is an opportunity to help Haitians rebuild in a manner that respects their humanity and enables them to become more productive.
By Tope Folarin, March 15, 2010 .
The United Nations will host a Haiti donors' conference at the end of March.
This conference will be quite different from last year's event, of course, coming as it does on the heels of the worst earthquake to strike Haiti in two centuries. An agenda has already begun to take shape: It's already clear that a future Haiti must be populated with environmentally sustainable, earthquake-resistant buildings, for example, and it's also clear that the international community must do something to ease Haiti's massive debt burden.
Of course Clinton and Collier don't call them sweatshops. They talk about "garment factories" or "manufacturing centers" or simply "workshops," but they are sweatshops and nothing more.
Congress seems to agree. It has passed several bills that provide Haitian garment-makers preferential access to American consumers. According to conventional knowledge, Haiti was on the road to economic success — as a result of these legislative reforms — before the earthquake. Now, the logic goes, Haitians must rebuild their collapsed "workshops" and produce as many cheap T-shirts as possible.
All this ignores the most important point: sweatshop labor's inherent inhumanity. Sweatshop labor proponents have never worked in the conditions they so enthusiastically endorse for others. When advocating such solutions, they often offer compelling numbers as proof of their effectiveness. But what about the human costs: the extra hours workers spend away from their families, the risk of injury that accompanies repetitive movements, and the loss of morale as some boss demands that you produce even more?
In Haiti, there are a few plausible alternatives to sweatshop labor. In the lead-up to last year's donors' conference, progressive Haitian civil society organizations suggested a development program that focuses on local production and agriculture. They argued, convincingly, that the benefits from sweatshop labor often end up somewhere else, since the clothes are constructed on-site; the material for the clothes are shipped in, and the clothes are shipped out upon completion.
A focus on locally produced goods, however, would have the opposite effect. Haitian entrepreneurs would produce according to Haitian needs, and every part of the manufacturing process–from the development of materials to the production of goods–would take place in Haiti and benefit Haitians.
The upcoming donors' conference is an incredibly important forum. We have an opportunity to help Haitians rebuild in a manner that simultaneously respects their humanity and enables them to become more productive.
We have an opportunity to heed the voices of concerned and knowledgeable Haitians. Now isn't the time to subsidize foreign investors' sweatshops.

ART FORT LAUDERDALE
Leah Brown, Ben Morey, Renda Writer, Sri Prabha, Jenn Clay, Ivania Guererro, Laurence Gartel. While this might sound like a round up of exhibiting artists for an Art Basel event, these are just a few of the artists who will take part in what may become a new Broward tradition. ART FTL will take place mid-January and brings together South Florida artists, galleries, and businesses with aims to anchor and enrich Broward's growing artist community.
In just under six months, co-founders Andrew Martineau and Evan Snow have organized a multimedia art event with local artists who will exhibit at three separate residential locations accessible only by boat. They've nearly finished design of an accompanying app, and they've scored a several major sponsors.
Andrew Martineau and Evan Snow
It's not everyday that a first time event gains the support of the likes of Venice Magazine, Oak & Cane – American Craft Rum, Oceanland Investments, Barkin-Gilman, Greater Fort Lauderdale Conventions & Visitors Bureau and Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority. Yet, this is exactly what the organizers of Art Fort Lauderdale have done.
Martineau notes, "Fort Lauderdale is best known for its Intracoastal Waterways, and this fair highlights the uniqueness of the city in a deeply immersive and engaging way while allowing people to visit and view art in luxury properties only viewed from a distance by most."
Miami gets a lot of attention for more than one reason, but Martineau and Snow saw an opportunity to showcase all that makes Broward a desired community, from a vibrant arts community to a thriving real estate market. But it's not just about seeing an opening in the art fair market. Both organizers are long-time Broward residents and have an interest in revitalizing and furthering the cultural scene here.
Martineau has been involved at the cross-section of creative arts and marketing for nearly 20 years and is launching the UniteUS Group with the promising debut of Art Fort Lauderdale. Snow has been promoting Broward arts, music, and tech through his #Choose954 social media campaign.
Snow says, "I'm from Broward, lived in Broward my whole life, and we want to let people know Broward is a great place to live."
The ambitious fair will have attendees arriving at their destinations via boat with VIPs having the option of being transported by private yacht. Each location is organized around a theme, presenting three distinct exhibition experiences: artGALLERY, artINTERACTIVE, and artINDIE.
The first will feature masterpieces by well-known artists alongside artists represented by local galleries. Interpretative dance and high-tech installations will be the focus of artINTERACTIVE. Meanwhile, artINDIE promises to showcase the work of independent artists.
To help attendees navigate through the fair, Art Fort Lauderdale has partnered with Vivid Arts, a West Palm Beach-based app that promotes local arts by providing a platform for discovering local art galleries and public art installations along with learning about artists. Downloading the app will allow guests to access up-to-date schedule information as well as see artist interviews and more.
If you want to attend the fair in VIP style, purchase the VIP pass which includes access to the opening reception on January 11 along with exclusive updates and previews. The unlimited VIP pass is valid on all days which will allow you entry to rooftop experiences with beverages and hors d'oeuvres.
Martineau explains what makes this fair different from the others, "By combining the ultimate Open House at waterfront properties usually viewed from afar, this experience will showcase art in a more intimate setting with the city's famous intracoastal waterways as its backdrop – thereby providing a fun, and engaging option for people looking for an alternative to the hectic spectacle that is Art Basel Miami Beach."
As if planning a major art event weren't enough, the duo have been hosting a Live Art Pop Up series at YOLO in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The series will continue with a different artist each Wednesday leading up to Art Fort Lauderdale. You may still be able to catch a few.
Art Fort Lauderdale begins with a VIP opening reception on January 11. The exhibits are open to the public beginning January 12 from 4pm – 8pm and runs January 13 – 15 from 1pm – 8pm. Tickets range from $25 for a single day pass to $225 for a VIP pass with access to all events for the duration of the fair. Tickets can be bought online in advance or at the door.

Yamunotri is the origin point of the river Yamuna and seat of the Goddess Yamuna. The temple is a religious homage to Goddess Yamuna. One of the four shrines of Chardham Yatra, Yamunotri is a major spiritual destination in India. However, because of its high altitude of 10,000 feet, the temperature is usually cold. In order to reach the temple complex, one has to trek for 13 km. The temple opens up on Akshaya Tritiya( May) and closes on the second day of Diwali(November). The best time to visit Yamunotri is between May to June and September to October. The summer season is moderately cold with summer starting from the month of April. The temperature during summer ranges from 15-degree Celsius to 30 degree Celsius. The summer is followed by a heavy monsoon season starting from the month of mid-July. The temperature ranges between 15 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius. The area of Gangotri witnesses heavy rainfall during monsoon season which makes the temple inaccessible. The winter witnesses low temperature ranging around a minimum of -7 degree Celsius and a maximum of 10 degree Celsius.
Being a major pilgrimage site in the Hindu religion, every year devotees flock to the Yamunotri to pay homage to the Goddess Yamuna. The number of visitors has been on a constant increase every year.
Since Yamunotri is located at a high altitude in the Himalayan region, the temperature differs from that of low lying areas. The winters are harsh, summers are cooler than the rest of India and during monsoon, the area experiences heavy rainfall with the temperature being on the colder side.
April to June
10°C – 30°C
July to Sep
Oct to April
7°C – 10°C
Summers in Yamunotri offer the ideal weather condition for temple visit with bright sunny days and cold nights. The temperature ranges between 10 degree Celsius to 30 degree Celsius. The summer season starts from April and lasts till the end of June.
Monsoon season starts around the first week of July and is accompanied by heavy rainfall. Yamunotri witness heavy rainfall between the months of July and September. Due to heavy rainfall the risk of landslides increases in the area.
Owing to its high altitude, Yamunotri experiences harsh winter climate. The temperature falls down to minus 7 degree Celsius with heavy snowfall in the month of January and February. The maximum temperature during winters goes up till 10 degree Celsius. The winter season starts from October end and lasts till the end of March.

BIC Consumer Products Manufacturing Co. at 565 BIC Drive in Milford, Conn. on Tuesday, December 12, 2017.
Lighter and razor manufacturer BIC is suing a California-based company and its international affiliates for importing and selling what it said are knock-off products.
The Shelton-based company filed paperwork Wednesday with the United States Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York and with the International Trade Commission to stop the importation and sale of pocket lighters they allege are infringing on the company's trademarked product.
The civil lawsuit filed in New York alleges that specific types of pocket lighters imported by MK of City of Industry, Calif., and sold under the brand names MK, TuTu and Star, are damaging BIC's profits and the company's reputation.
MK has several affiliates in China.
BIC claimed that the alleged knock-offs, many of which appear to be Chinese-made, are deceiving consumers with false advertising while also risking their safety. The company seeks a jury trial.
BIC tested the MK lighters and found that they do not conform to safety standards, Burkhart said, adding that products from MK failed flame height and drop tests, among others.
The lawsuit alleges that MK had been involved in a 2009 lawsuit where a family of a Texas man alleged that one of the company's lighters caused his death.
BIC is seeking monetary compensation from MK for loss of business, damaged reputation and loss of profits.
BIC also is asking for attorney and court costs and unspecified punitive damages.
In its filing with the ITC, BIC asks the Commission to investigate and ban the importation and sale of MK's BIC look-alike products in the United States and have the California company destroy its inventory of the knockoffs.

Nuclear Energy Scientists Think They've Solved the Mystery of Building Efficient Fusion Power Plants
By Meghan Bartels On 3/9/18 at 10:18 AM EST
Nuclear fusion plants imitate the same processes happening on the sun. NASA/Trace
Tech & Science Nuclear fusion Nuclear Power Power plant
Every commercial nuclear power plant on the planet right now runs on fission, splitting giant atoms into smaller ones and harnessing the energy that break-down releases. But there's another way to make nuclear energy—fusion, smooshing two tiny atoms together. And scientists at MIT are launching a new fusion power initiative that they say means an efficient power plant is now only about 15 years away from reality.
Nuclear scientists have been interested in fusion for decades: It's the very same process happening in our sun. But scientists have struggled to mimic fusion here on Earth because without the incredibly hot temperatures on the sun, the process isn't very efficient—atoms don't want to merge together, and forcing them to do so at cooler temperatures requires more energy than the process produces.
That's the challenge that the MIT team thinks they can finally tackle, thanks to a new kind of tiny, super-powerful magnet that can trap hot plasma—the same charged particles that make up the sun—floating in air. That would means scientists don't need to build a container that can withstand the high temperatures that make fusion efficient.
The scheme relies on building magnets coated with a special compound called yttrium barium copper oxide. It's not a new compound, according to Fast Company, but until now the only form of it scientists could make was a powder that wasn't good for much.
Read more: What Is Kilopower? NASA's Mini Nuclear Reactor Could Power Life on Mars
The MIT team thinks they can use new procedures that turn it into a tape-like structure to create coated magnets within about three years. Then, they want to build a small fusion experiment using those magnets, which they would use to prove that the system can produce heat.
Other nuclear experts are skeptical that the team will actually be able to turn these experiments into a plant that could actually produce energy at a commercially meaningful rate within 15 years. They're dubious partially because fusion has a long history of being "just around the corner." But if the MIT team can make it a reality, it could be a key step in moving beyond carbon.

This week a leading QC predicted the demise of the jury system. Louis Blom-Cooper, QC, said that looked at by outcomes, the system worked well: there was little difference in conviction rates between lay juries and professional tribunals. Why, then, change it? "It works," he said.
the rest. Sir Louis was less successful.
Robert Brown, of Corker Binning, who defended Vicky Pryce, summed up the majority view: "People see judges as part of the elite and have the view that if you are tried by your peers, you are more likely to get a fair trial." If there were proposals to scrap it in ten years' time, he hoped that people "would stand up and demand to keep it".
But if the jury is seen as a key part of the democratic system that gives people a stake in how the courts work, is it in good health? This week new research found jurors are badly in need of guidance in their crucial role. It found widespread ignorance about use of the internet or how to deliberate their verdicts, creating a "perfect storm" for committing contempt of court.
Nearly one on four jurors is confused about what he or she is allowed to do, with some jurors researching the judge and lawyers online, others visiting the crime scene on Google Earth or Street View or looking up legal terms.
Some also blog or share their experiences on sites such as Twitter and Facebook, and two thirds were unaware of recent high-profile prosecutions of jurors for such behaviour. Jurors are also unclear about how to go about their deliberations and would like guidance on such things as choosing a foreman or what to do if things go wrong.
The findings, published in this week's Criminal Law Review, is the first in a four-part project on juries in England and Wales and come after several cases in which jurors have been discharged or trials abandoned because of internet use. Cheryl Thomas, professor of judicial studies at University College London's Faculty of Laws, who conducted the research, said that it showed "that the vast majority of jurors understand and follow the rules on how jurors can use new media during trial but the message is not getting through and is confusing to a significant minority of jurors".
Of 23 per cent who did not understand the rules on internet use, 16 per cent thought that they could not use the internet at all, even to check their e-mails. Five per cent thought there were no restrictions at all and a further 2 per cent believed they could research material on the case as long as it did not influence their judgment.
All this, Thomas said, puts them at risk of contempt. Those at greatest risk were the 1 per cent who looked up information about the cases, 6 per cent who looked up legal terms and the 1 per cent who visited the crime scene on Google Earth or similar. Looking up information about the lawyers and judge (7 per cent) would not necessarily result in contempt but might not "be completely desirable".
But the strongest finding was the need for more information: 82 per cent wanted help with conducting their deliberations, especially on what to do if confused about a legal issue or if something went wrong (a juror introducing material not before the court).They also wanted guidance on how to ensure no juror was pressured into a verdict; how to start deliberations, ensure everyone could express a view and how long to deliberate. When given, judges' written directions were helpful and all would have liked them. As for potential nobbling, jurors would report this; but 14 per cent would not report fellow jurors introducing material from the internet.
Most jurors know what they are doing, it seems. But a significant minority are confused. All, though, need to be given better tools to do their job — if Thomas's "perfect storm" is not to break.

The following is an extract from Cathy McCarthy's book, Not The Year You Had Planned, on the subject of gratitude.
I asked for Cathy's permission to share this particular extract here today as our loose theme this month on Happy Magazine has been gratitude. I could never have put my thoughts on gratitude and the gratitude that comes after a cancer experience together as well as Cathy has done here and I have no doubt you will enjoy this piece as much as I have.
It is very easy to feel grateful when our lives are going well. In fact, when our lives are going along fine we are very often not even aware that we should be grateful. We don't stop to reflect on what we have and what we should be thankful for. But when you get a serious illness and your life is under threat, you have time to stop and think of all the things that you have taken for granted, the most important one being your health. The serious illness I am talking about here is cancer.
So why should you be grateful if your life is suddenly under threat? Perhaps because you may appreciate for the first time what you have been neglecting. When you are ill gratitude is found in the most ordinary details of life. I believe that you are not going to be grateful for your big house or flash car, but instead will realise how blessed you are to have wonderful friends, family and people with whom to share important moments. You come to realise that the most valuable gift is not what you have in your life but who you have in your life. One friend I spoke to going through cancer told me she knew her friends were there but it was only when she became ill that she realised for the first time how strong their friendships were and how they stood by her.
I remember lying in bed on the days after my chemotherapy, not feeling very well, and getting text messages from friends. I may not have been able to reply, but in that moment, I knew that they were thinking of me and I felt grateful for their thoughtfulness. I know, too, how wonderful it was to feel good. When the bad days passed I had a heightened sense of wonder about life and living.
So how do you create an attitude of gratitude? Maybe each day think of just one thing you could be grateful for. It can be something really small. If you were to write all of these down, you would be amazed at how long the list would be.
Acknowledge moments of gratitude when you recall the people who have walked with you through your life – people who are now walking with you through your illness.
Awareness and gratitude stand side by side. To feel gratitude you have to have your eyes open to see what you possess. Even in the midst of pain we can experience gratitude. Our pain is still there but is does not have to exclude a feeling of gratefulness.
If you need help, accept it and be grateful to have people who wish to help you. It is not a weakness to ask for help. We all need people whether we like it or not. To believe that you can always be self sufficient is an illusion and sooner or later something will happen in your life that will shatter that illusion.
Life is full of surprises if only we are open to them. We often close our minds and do not see the wonders around us. E.E. Cummings says, 'The eyes of my eyes are opened'. What a beautiful thought. You are suddenly awake and alive.
Treasure all that you have.
Think about the positive things that have happened to you in the last week.
Open your eyes to see the good things in your life, especially the small things. They are often the most important.
I remember one day taking out all of the cards I had received from people when I was ill. They were so sincere and I felt a huge sense of gratitude, really blessed. In fact I did not realise I knew so many people.
Be around positive people. It is difficult to be grateful if you are around people who are negative. These people bring you down and it is impossible to feel grateful.
When I was ill, there were people thinking about me whom I didn't know. I had never met them and probably never will – they are friends of friends who genuinely wished me well. There was one girl in particular, who works with my sister and apparently she always asked about me. Through a strange coincidence, I met this girl, and she was so genuinely happy that I looked so well and wished me all the best for the future. How could you not be grateful for all those wonderful human beings?
I get up every day and I genuinely say thank you.
I love to spend time in nature, because it grounds me and makes me realise what is important.
I love to walk, particularly on a warm rainy day when I can feel the soft rain on my face.
Each time I go for a check up, I come out and just say thank you.
Maybe for the first time in my life, I truly value my health. I know this is difficult to understand, but because my life was under threat I believe I have been given a second chance. I have been given the opportunity to seriously re-evaluate my life and for that I am grateful. I no longer sweat the small things. Today I love my life, every day, every moment. I live those moments, because all we have are moments, the present moment. The following puts it into words so much better than I can.
This is an extract from Not The Year You Had Planned, by Cathy McCarthy and published by Ashfield Press. This book, along with Cathy's second book, are available to purchase on books.ie and Amazon and are €13 each. Proceeds go to various charities.
Happy Magazine would like to thank Cathy and her publisher for their gracious permission to re-publish this extract.

Though he's cultivated a grey beard since backing away from his desk at The Daily Show 16 months ago, Jon Stewart hasn't exactly adopted a hermit-like existence.
He's made memorable appearances on the programs of former colleagues Stephen Colbert and Larry Wilmore. He's been busy with his wife, Tracey, in establishing a new home for rescued farm animals. A new book titled "The Daily Show (The Book): An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests," has rekindled interest in his legacy. Oh, and he signed a four-year contract with HBO that had media observers salivating over the possibilities.
While Stewart's still-untitled HBO project is said to be readying for debut by March, a live audience on the Greater Red Bank Green is slated to get an advance taste Thursday night, when the Count Basie Theatre mounts a special Evening of Comedy spotlighting its writers and performers.
Hosted not on the Basie main stage but in the Performing Arts Center annex next door (the onetime WaWa store that formerly served as home to the Phoenix Productions theatrical troupe), the 8 p.m. event will showcase a group of unspecified contributors to the "multiplatform" Stewart project, described by Variety and other outlets as "an animated parody of a cable news network with an Onion-like portal," produced in a way that allows the creative team to respond and comment on breaking news as it occurs.
"Stewart is creating an animation studio to regularly produce animated shorts online throughout the day, almost immediately after news arises," Indiewire reported recently."There will also be a text component, and the shorts will be collected into a half-hour version that will also air on the linear HBO channel."
Although Stewart, who made the Red Bank riverfront his suburban home a few years back, could conceivably be among those "writers and performers," Stewart himself has not been mentioned as an in-person participant Thursday.
While there is no formal charge for attending, and no advance reservations taken, a suggested donation of $10 will be dedicated to to the Basie's arts education and outreach programs. Line-up for first-come/first-served seating begins at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 7:30, and the show set to begin promptly at 8. No one under 18 will be admitted without an adult.

Chapter 15: Creep
https://doi.org/10.31399/asm.tb.emea.t52240265
Creep occurs in any metal or alloy at a temperature where atoms become sufficiently mobile to allow the time-dependent rearrangement of structure. This chapter begins with a section on creep curves, covering the three distinct stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary. It then provides information on the stress-rupture test used to measure the time it takes for a metal to fail at a given stress at elevated temperature. The major classes of creep mechanism, namely Nabarro-Herring creep and Coble creep, are then covered. The chapter also provides information on three primary modes of elevated fracture, namely, rupture, transgranular fracture, and...

South Croxton (traditionally pronounced "crow-sun" [ˈkroʊsən]) is a village and civil parish in the Charnwood district of Leicestershire, England. It had a population of 261 in the 2011 census. Nearby villages include Beeby, Barsby and Twyford.

Governance and facilities
The Parish Council holds open meetings on the first Monday of each month in the Village Hall. The Village Hall Committee meets there on the second Thursday of the month. A programme of improvements to the hall begun in 2007 continues. The Golden Fleece reopened in 2008 as a pub/restaurant. The village also has riding stables in Three Turns Lane, a Women's Institute that meets monthly, and a Wednesday Luncheon Club meeting every other month.

The village is served on Monday to Saturday by the daytime bus service No. 100 between Syston and Melton Mowbray, both of which have railway stations. The local school closed about 1965. The nearest primary school today is at Gaddesby (2.5 miles/4 km). There have been no shops since 1995, but there is a playing field with a slide and a single football goal.

The highest point is the church, at 120 m above mean sea level. The lowest altitude is 85 m by the Queniborough Brook.

Heritage
The recorded population of South Croxton in the last two centuries varied between a high of 324 in 1851 and to a low of 153 in 1951. It was 234 at the time of the 2001 census and 261 ten years later. The moated area to the north of the church formed part of a medieval manor enclosure and has yielded Saxon remains. Signs of medieval ridge-and-furrow field patterns can be seen to the north of the moated area.

The Grade II* listed Church of St John's and four farmhouses in the parish (Bell Dip, Hill Top, North Manor, South Manor) are listed historic buildings. The village was designated as a Conservation Area in 1975 for its special architectural and historic interest. It has 90 houses, a 14th-century church, a pub (the Golden Fleece) and a village hall, formerly the local school. A considerable number of unlisted buildings are also of architectural interest, having "survived relatively unchanged over the last hundred years." Some are still roofed in slate quarried at nearby Swithland, some later ones in Welsh slate.

As a community South Croxton antedates Domesday (where it is referred to as Crochestone) and probably the coming of the Danes. It appears as "Sudcroxtun" in the Coroner's Rolls (county records) of 1212. There were two manors known as Nether End and Upper End, divided by the Queniborough brook. These were enclosed in 1757 and 1794 respectively. A frame-knitting industry had become established in the village by the first quarter of the 18th century. The group of older houses down School Lane once formed a separate hamlet called West Thorpe. Since the 1960s, the character of South Croxton has largely changed from a farming community into a dormitory suburb for Leicester.

In 2000, a grant was obtained to clean up the Queniborough Brook at the bridge and to provide seating there and at the top of the hill. Halfway up the hill, a little obelisk made of tiles produced by local children was placed to mark the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2002. There is a public footpath from Lowesby past the deserted medieval village of Baggrave to South Croxton. This passes the mid-18th century Baggrave Hall, which was badly damaged by developers in 1988–89 and then abandoned. There is also a public footpath following the brook to the village of Queniborough.

The Anglican church of St John the Baptist is the only place of worship in the village, although there was at one time a Methodist congregation. The Anglican parish is united with All Saints', Beeby. It forms part of the South West Framland Cluster of Parishes. The church is built in the late Decorated style, of local honey-coloured Waltham ironstone and dates mainly from the early 14th century, when it replaced an earlier stone building probably from the Saxon period. However, the Romanesque font of the earlier church remains. The south aisle and the roof were built a hundred years later. The bells, cast in 1636, remain in the tower, but unhung. Extensive repairs had to be made in 1925 due to subsidence. A 15th-century oak roof corbel from the church is displayed at the Charnwood Museum in Loughborough.

Notable people
Ambrose Lisle March Phillipps De Lisle (1809–1878), founder of Mount St. Bernard Abbey, attended a private school here in 1818.
Bob Gerard, the racing driver, died here in 1990.

Croxton of old
"CROXTON (South), a parish in Barrow-upon-Soar district, Leicester; on an affluent of the river Wreak, 4 miles SSE of Brooksby r. station, and 7 SW of Melton-Mowbray. It has a post office, of the name of Croxton, under Leicester. Acres, 1,760. Real property, £2,535. Pop., 311. Houses, 68. The property is subdivided. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Peterborough. Value, £130. Patron, the Duke of Rutland. The church is old but good; and comprises nave, aisles, chancel, and steeple. Charities, £32 and four cottages." [John Marius Wilson's "Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales." 1870-72]

A book of descriptive and oral history, South Croxton: The Village on the Hill by Philip Snelders, was published in 2007 and reprinted in 2008.

It is a 1/6 scale model Canon camera with"interchangable" lenses. Each lens has a lens hood, including the telephoto lens, but I forgot to take it out of the bag. It's a hoot!
We went on an adventure today, or a kind of a scavenger hunt if you will. It is said that John Belushi is burried here on The Vineyard. He had a home here and loved being here. Who wouldn't? It is beautiful here! Last year my husband and my son went looking for his grave and found it. So my friends and I went on a quest to Abel's Hill Cemetary in Chilmark. We found the plot right away (my son said it was surrounded by a split rail fence).
Quite gaudy and cheap considering his status as an actor. People come and leave all kinds of tokens all over it, on it, in front of it, behind it; an assortment of sea shells, beads, liquor bottles, beer bottles and someone actually left a medal they earned in a skiing competition.
Some say that his body was removed to another part of the cemetary and burried beneath an unmarked grave. The only way you can tell it is his is that it is always adorned with flowers. At any rate, we marked it off of our "to do" list for this week.
My sister Liz and my nephew Thomas hosted a bowling fundraiser last year for a program called Heeling Autism. It is a program that provides service dogs to families with children who have Autism, or have an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
On Friday night, my sister and my nephew hosted their second annual bowling fundraiser for Heeling Autism, and like last year, the turnout was incredible.
Friends and families came out in support of eachother for a fun evening and for this worthy cause.
My sister Pat lives in western Pennsylvania and was unable to join us on Friday night. She is a quilter and she donated a custom designed themed quilt for a raffle prize.
Is it not incredible? She used the official logo for the foundation and then created the remaining design.
The pictures do it no justice! It is a beautiful quilt, and I happened to sell the winning ticket!
It was such a great evening. Hats off to Liz, Thomas, my family, the merchants who donated food and prizes for the raffles, and everyone at the bowling alley who helped make this fundraiser a huge success for the second year in a row.
and that red dot means my photo is going to be on display in a public gallery(exclusive to the students chosen from the show) at Calumet Photo in Manhattan for 2 weeks this summer! I am totally stoked! This is a great way for many, many people to see your work and possibly buy it. Wow.....just wow. Someone pinch me, please!
I tried a new company for photo prints last week. I'm sure many of you have heard of mpix. I have too, but I had never thought of using them to print my personal 4"x6" or 5"x7" photos that I use for scrapping. My final project for class was a portfolio of portraits of the members of a pipe & drum band. Yep, bagpipes and kilts. As a thank you for posing for me I offered each of them an 8"x10" print of their choice that they can choose from a private gallery I have. I was extremely pleased with the trial run with mpix and will use them for portraits from now on.
I got away for a 12 hr crop a couple of Saturdays ago. It was a different group of people than my usual crew. I got a lot done, probably because I sat with 2 people I didn't know.
This is a Basic Grey kit. I modified it a little bit in the title. I believe it is a Kelly Goree design.
This is also a Basic Grey kit, also modified a bit to suit my needs.
The following 2 layouts are from Janine at The Scrapbook Diaries.
I love Janine's work. I modified these 2 layouts a little too. She had some odd dimensions for the photo mats, so I cut them to make it easier to add photos later.
I think I forgot to show this project I worked on at a weekend crop in January...or maybe it was March. I had a few used Starbucks gift cards in my wallet, and rather than reload them or throw them away, I decided to use them in some kind of craft. So I pulled out my Bind-it-all which hasn't seen the light of day in probably 2 years.
I had asked one of the girls at my favorite Starbucks store save me some used gift cards that customers gave up. Lily is a gem! She must have saved 20 cards for me in 2 days.
So I made a mini memo pad.
This was just a trial run to see how it looks. I have to use copy paper for them because the cardstock is just too thick and you wouldn't be able to tear it from the pad if you needed to. I used a gift card on both sides. This one has the same gift card on the front and the back.I'll be working on these from time to time and giving them to friends and family.
I am saving it for another crop, and that will be either in June or July. I'm looking forward to playing with it.
I am slowly gathering my supplies and clothes I need for my Tanzania trip in August. I sent off my visa application and got my seat assigned for the plane ride. I still have to get my second set of travel shots in June and a couple of prescriptions and I am all set to go. I am so looking forward to this trip!

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, says to deepen Nigeria's democracy, efforts must be made to build the nation's institutions.
Dogara said this on Friday during an inspection tour of the ongoing work at the permanent site of the National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILDS) along Airport Road, Abuja.
According to him, the truth that we have always said is that if democracy is based on the rule of law, it therefore means that for you to have a robust democracy, your laws must be robust.
"And in a situation where you don't have an institution like this (NILDS) that models parliamentarians and even some of our staff, you discover that the laws would be shallow and at the end of the day, democracy itself would be shallow.
"So, if we want to deepen democracy, we have to deepen institutions like this, and not only in terms of attracting students from other countries so that we can pass our own democratic experience to them, but timely analysis of bills, in getting legislative aides to actually know what they are supposed to do, not to come and be hangers-on in the National Assembly.
''If you go to the Institution of Parliament in the United States, you would see that on almost every topical issue that are discussed on the floor of the Congress, there are perhaps different researches that are captured from different professors within the U.S.
''So, it means we have to train and retrain our staff so that they are equipped with the right tools to help the parliamentarians in discharging their responsibilities," he said.
The speaker said when the project is completed, it would help in translating the country's laws into living laws.
''This is so because the laws can be applied to challenges that may arise, that may have not even been contemplated at the time the laws were crafted," he said.
Dogara, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done, however, blamed poor budget implementation for the slow pace of work.
He said it was disheartening that since 2011 the building had been under construction, and it had yet to be completed.
"Obviously as we all know, except we want to pretend, funding has been a very serious challenge.
''Even in the national budget, in most cases, only 30 per cent of capital projects are executed nationally and this is not an exemption.
''So, it is the issue of funding that is the problem. I remember that we had this sort of challenges with the EFCC Headquarters which was commissioned earlier this year.
''And until we put the right focus there to insist that for anyone who wants to visit Nigeria and see how we fight corruption, their first point of interface is the EFCC and the environment where the officials operate from, and where they were wasn't that befitting.
''So, our attention was on that building and by the Grace of God, the executive, working with the support of the National Assembly, was able to get the funds in good time," he said.
The speaker, however, called for the replication of same executive-legislative partnership that facilitated the completion of the EFCC complex in the NILDS'case.
''I call strongly on the executive to collaborate with us in order to deliver this institution that will not only bring prestige to Nigeria, but it will help the institution of democracy itself," he remarked.
