We're spending a leisurely afternoon at the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
While we love taking a turn around World Showcase to try all the great eats, it's always fun to take in a few of the Festival's Special Events each year as well. And you can always count on a terrific experience when you book events in Epcot's France Pavilion.
Join us today as we head up the spiral staircase for a special Parisian Afternoon at Monsieur Paul.
Monsieur Paul is a hidden gem in Epcot's France Pavilion. Nope — I'm not speaking figuratively. I mean, it's actually hidden. To find it, head back through France as though you're going to visit Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. It's a little easier to find than it used to be, though, thanks to the awning that bears the restaurant's name.

MoHi AfterProm, to be held on Saturday, April 16, is an event designed to give our Mo-Hi Prom-goers a safe, fun place to go after attending Prom.
We need about 300 volunteers to organize entertainment, games, food, and prizes designed to entice the kids to stay all night. The event is hosted from midnight until 4 a.m., so that our students and their dates have a safe, alcohol free environment to hang out in after the Prom. This year's theme is "Star Wars"! So that our underclass students can enjoy this event too, we will also host an Open House from 8-10 p.m. right before our guests arrive, so that all of our all students and our community can view the finished work!
Your student need not attend Prom to help! It is a community effort, and we are looking for talent to build props, donate food, and much more. See the full list here. Do you like to decorate? We need your help! To sign up to decorate visit here or email our committee at afterpromevent@gmail.com.


Solved! That's it! This movie is not in color, but all descriptions I've read and the parts that I've seen on YouTube all match what I remember! Thanks so much!
Thank you. This is one of my favorite 'bad' movies!
Ha ha! Wow, I haven't seen it in almost 54 years!

Q: Can we show that the determinant of this matrix is non-zero? Consider the following symmetric matrix
$M=
  \begin{bmatrix}
    f(x) & f(2x) & \dots & f(nx)\\
    f(2x) & f(4x) & \dots & f(2nx)\\
    \vdots & \vdots & \dots & \vdots\\
    f(nx) & f(2nx) & \dots & f(n^2x)
  \end{bmatrix}$,
where $f(x): \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous, nonlinear, and strictly increasing that satisfies the following properties:

*

*$f(0) = 0$ and $f(x \neq 0) \neq 0$

*If $a,b,c,d \neq 0$ and $ab = cd$ and $a+b > c+d \Rightarrow f(a)f(b) < f(c)f(d)$.
Can we show that there exists an $x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the determinant of $M$ is non-zero?
Proof for $n=1$ is trivial. For $n=2$ we have
$det(M) = f(x)f(4x) - f(2x)f(2x)$,
which is less than 0 for $x > 0$ and greater than 0 for $x < 0$ based on assumption 2. Can we prove this for a general $n$?
EDIT:
I simulated matrix $M$ for different values of $n$ and the determinant is non-zero for almost every $x$. Is it possible to perhaps prove this by contradiction?
EDIT2:
Another way to look at this problem is to show that $f(mx)$ are linearly independent functions. In other words, if
$k_1 f(x) + k_2 f(2x) + \dots k_n f(nx) = 0$,
for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, then $k_1 = k_2 = \dots = k_n = 0$. Under what conditions on $f$, $f(mx)$ are linearly independent?

A: $\newcommand{\R}{{\mathbb R}}$
This is a partial answer to the question. We show

*

*for any real analytic function $f:[0,\delta[\to\R$, $\delta>0$ that is
not a polynomial and any positive integer $n$, the determinant of
$$M_n(f)=
  \begin{bmatrix}
    f(x) & f(2x) & \dots & f(nx)\\
    f(2x) & f(4x) & \dots & f(2nx)\\
    \vdots & \vdots & \dots & \vdots\\
    f(nx) & f(2nx) & \dots & f(n^2x)
  \end{bmatrix}$$
does not vanish for sufficiently small $x>0$.

*A polynomial $f$ with $f(0)=0$ that is strictly increasing does not satisfy condition 2
of the question in the case of positive quadruples $a,b,c,d>0$.

Thus the answer to the question is yes for real analytic functions.
Observe that the function of my comment is a polynomial on $]-\infty,0]$
with two non-vanishing terms ($f(x)=x-x^2$ for $x\leq0$) and hence,
as will be shown, $\det M_n(f)=0$ for all $n\geq3$ and $x<0$.
Remark: It is an interesting problem to characterize the set of functions satisfying the
conditions of the question, i.e. the set of all continuous, strictly increasing functions
$f:\R\to\R$ with $f(0)=0$ such that
for all $a,b,c,d\neq0$ with $ab=cd$ and $a+b>c+d$ we have $f(a)f(b)<f(c)f(d)$.
Proof of the first item: For $n=1$ there is nothing to show. For $n=2$,
it has been shown in the question without using real analyticity.
So consider any integer $n\geq 3$ and a non-polynomial real analytic function $f:[0,\delta[\to\R$.
Write the first $n$ non-vanishing terms in the
Taylor expansion of $f$ at the origin. There are infinitely many non-vanishing terms
because otherwise, $f$ would be a polynomial.
$$f(x)=a_1x^{m_1}+...+a_nx^{m_n}+ O(|x|^{m_n+1})$$
with $a_1,...,a_n\neq0$ and integers $1\leq m_1<m_2<\cdots<m_n$, where $O(|x|^{m_n+1})$
contains the remainder of the Taylor series of $f$ and can be estimated by a constant times
$|x|^{m_n+1}$.
With $g(x)=a_1x^{m_1}+...+a_nx^{m_n}$ we can write
$M_n(f)=M_n(g)+O(|x|^{m_n+1})$ where $O(...)$ denotes a certain $n$ by $n$ matrix
whose entries are power series divisible by $x^{m_n+1}$.
Now we factor
\begin{eqnarray*}M_n(g)&=&\begin{bmatrix}
    1^{m_1}& 1^{m_2} & \dots & 1^{m_n}\\
    2^{m_1} & 2^{m_2} & \dots & 2^{m_n}\\
    \vdots & \vdots & \dots & \vdots\\
    n^{m_1} & n^{m_2} & \dots & n^{m_n}
  \end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}a_1x^{m_1}&0&\dots&0\\
        0&a_2x^{m_2}&\dots&0\\
        \vdots& &\ddots&\vdots\\
         0&\dots&0&a_nx^{m_n}
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
    1^{m_1}& 2^{m_1} & \dots & n^{m_1}\\
    1^{m_2} & 2^{m_2} & \dots & n^{m_2}\\
    \vdots & \vdots & \dots & \vdots\\
    1^{m_n} & 2^{m_n} & \dots & n^{m_n}
  \end{bmatrix}\\
&=&V_n ^T\, \mbox{diag}(a_1x^{m_1},\dots,a_nx^{m_n})\,V_n
\end{eqnarray*}
with a generalized Vandermonde matrix
$$V_n=V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)=\begin{bmatrix}
    1^{m_1}& 2^{m_1} & \dots & n^{m_1}\\
    1^{m_2} & 2^{m_2} & \dots & n^{m_2}\\
    \vdots & \vdots & \dots & \vdots\\
    1^{m_n} & 2^{m_n} & \dots & n^{m_n}
  \end{bmatrix}.$$
We will show later that this matrix is invertible for all $n$, $1\leq m_1<m_2<\dots<m_n$.
As $V_n$ is a constant invertible matrix, we have
$$M_n(f)=V_n^T\left(\mbox{diag}(a_1x^{m_1},\dots,a_nx^{m_n})+O(|x|^{m_n+1})\right)V_n.$$
Here again $O(...)$ denotes a certain $n$ by $n$ matrix
whose entries are power series divisible by $x^{m_n+1}$, not necessarily the same one as above.
This implies that
\begin{eqnarray*}\det M_n(f)&=&(\det V_n)^2
         \det\left(\mbox{diag}(a_1x^{m_1},\dots,a_nx^{m_n})+O(|x|^{m_n+1})\right)\\
&=&(\det V_n)^2a_1\cdot\dots\cdot a_n x^{m_1+\cdots+m_n}+O(|x|^{m_1+\cdots+m_n+1}).
\end{eqnarray*}
Here we used that every product in the expansion formula of the last determinant
except that of the diagonal elements is divisible by $x^{m_1+\cdots+m_n+1}$.
This implies that $\det M_n(f)$ does not vanish for sufficiently small $x>0$.
Observe that the above formulas remain valid if $f$ is a polynomial with less than
$n$ nonvanishing terms, if we allow $a_n=...=a_j=0$ for an appropriate $j\leq n$
and replace all $O(...)$ terms by $0$.
In this case, we obviously have $\det M_n(f)\equiv0$.
It remains to show that $\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)$ does not vanish. We show
Claim 1: $\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)>0$ for all integers $n>0$ and $0\leq m_1<...<m_n$.
In the case $m_i=i-1$, we have a Vandermonde determinant well known to be positive.
The quotient
$$\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)/\det V_n(0,\dots,n-1)=s_{(m_n-n+1,m_{n-1}-n+2,\dots,m_1)}(1,2,\dots,n)$$
actually is a Schur polynomial
evaluated at $x_i=i, i=1,\dots,n$ and Schur polynomials have non-negative
coefficients, so our Claim follows.
For completeness, we give here a proof by induction. For $n=1$, there is nothing to
show, for $n=2$, the Claim follows from the determinant formula.
Now suppose the Claim is true for all $\det V_{n-1}(m_1,\dots,m_{n-1})$, $0\leq m_1<...<m_{n-1}$.
We have to show the Claim for determinants of size $n$ by $n$.
First we modify $\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)$ in the following way:
Substract $n^{m_{i+1}-m_i}$ times row $i$ from row $i+1$ in the order $i=n-1,n-2,\dots,1$.
As only the first entry of the last row in the resulting determinant is not zero, we obtain
$\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)=(-1)^{n+1}n^{m_1}\det W$, where
$$W=\begin{bmatrix}
1^{m_2}-n^{m_2-m_1}1^{m_1} &2^{m_2}-n^{m_2-m_1}2^{m_1}&\dots&
                 (n-1)^{m_2}-n^{m_2-m_1}(n-1)^{m_1}\\
1^{m_3}-n^{m_3-m_2}1^{m_2} &2^{m_3}-n^{m_3-m_2}2^{m_2}&\dots&
                 (n-1)^{m_3}-n^{m_3-m_2}(n-1)^{m_2}\\
\vdots&&&\vdots\\
1^{m_n}-n^{m_n-m_{n-1}}1^{m_{n-1}} &2^{m_n}-n^{m_n-m_{n-1}}2^{m_{n-1}}&\dots&
                 (n-1)^{m_n}-n^{m_n-m_{n-1}}(n-1)^{m_{n-1}}
\end{bmatrix}
$$
As every entry of column $j$ of $W$ can be divided by $n-j$, we obtain
$\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)=n^{m_1}(n-1)!\det Z,\ Z=[ z_{i,j}]_{i,j=1}^{n-1}$ where
$$z_{i,j}=\sum_{k=m_i}^{m_{i+1}-1} j^k n^{m_{i+1}-k-1}.$$
Seeing this as writing row $i$ of $Z$ as a linear combination
of the rows $(1^k,\dots,(n-1)^k)$ present in certain matrices $V_{n-1}$, we find that
$$\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)=n^{m_1}(n-1)!\sum_{k_1=m_1}^{m_2-1}n^{m_2-k_1-1}\cdots
     \sum_{k_{n-1}=m_{n-1}}^{m_n-1}n^{m_n-k_{n-1}-1}
     \det V_{n-1}(k_1,\dots,k_{n-1}).$$
Observe that $0\leq k_1<\dots<k_{n-1}$ in all cases. This proves that
$\det V_n(m_1,\dots,m_n)>0$ using the induction hypothesis
and the proof of the first item is complete.
Proof of the second item. Consider first any
continuously differentiable function $f:[0,\infty[\to\R$
that is strictly increasing and satisfies $f(0)=0$.
We will use the auxiliary function
$q(x)=x\,f'(x)/f(x)$. Note that it has only non-negative values and is positive
on a dense subset of $\R\setminus\{0\}$.
Claim 2: If $f$ satisfies condition 2 of the question
for positive $a,b,c,d$ then $q$
is strictly decreasing on $]0,\infty[$.
Proof: Choose any positive $p$. Then the function
$S:]0,\sqrt p]\to\R$, $S(t)=t+p/t$ is strictly decreasing. Therefore for all $a,c$
with $0<a<c\leq\sqrt p$ we have $a+p/a>c+p/c$.
By condition 2, we therefore have
$$F(a)<F(c)\mbox{ for the function }F(t)=\log f(t)+\log f(p/t)\mbox{ and all }0<a<c\leq\sqrt p.$$
This means that $F$ is strictly increasing.
Hence its derivative satisfies $F'(t)>0$ on a dense subset of $]0,\sqrt p]$.
Now
$$t\ F'(t)=\frac{t\,f'(t)}{f(t)}-\frac{f'(p/t)}{f(p/t)}\frac{p}{t}$$
Thus $q(p/t)<q(t)$
for all positive $p$ and $t$ in a dense subset of $]0,\sqrt p]$.
This implies that for all positive $p$, there exist arbitarily close
$t<\sqrt p<s$ such that $q(t)>q(s)$.
This implies that $q(x)=x\,f'(x)/f(x)$ is strictly decreasing on $]0,\infty[$
and the proof of the Claim is complete.
Suppose now additionally that $f$ is a polynomial. Write the nonvanishing terms
of $f$
$$f(x)=a_1x^{m_1}+...+a_nx^{m_n}$$
with $a_1,...,a_n\neq0$ and integers $1\leq m_1<\cdots<m_n$.
In the case $n=1$, there is only $m_1$. Then
$$\lim_{x\to0}\frac{x\,f'(x)}{f(x)}=m_1\mbox{ and }
\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x\,f'(x)}{f(x)}=m_n.$$
Now $m_1\leq m_n$ and therefore $q(x)=\frac{x\,f'(x)}{f(x)}$
cannot be strictly decreasing on $]0,\infty[$. Hence
by Claim 2,
no polynomial $f$ with $f(0)=0$ that is strictly increasing
can satisfy condition 2 of the question for positive $a,b,c,d$.
This completes the proof of item 2.

CAMPUS ISSUES: If an investigation into sexual assault mishandling takes place at UC Berkeley, the administration will need to revise its Student Code of Conduct.
It shouldn't be hard for college students who are sexually assaulted on campus to file complaints with their campus administrations. But recently, reports from across the country have shown that these administrations might not be doing all they need to do to promote a safe campus environment.
We hope this isn't the case at UC Berkeley.
Last Wednesday, nine UC Berkeley students filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education alleging that the campus discouraged them from reporting incidents of sexual assault to local authorities, underreporting instances of sexual violence and failing to notify remaining campus community members of these threats.
Following a review of the complaint, the U.S. Department of Education will decide whether to investigate the campus's policies to review whether it is appropriately responding to sexual assault crimes. If it is found in violation of the allegations, UC Berkeley could be fined $35,000 for each offense.
A college campus like UC Berkeley is a home away from home and a place where students should feel safe and protected. The campus has a system in place to try and promote this type of atmosphere. UC Berkeley provides a number of resources — such as the Gender Equity Resource Center and counseling at the Tang Center — that are dedicated to preventing sexual assault and promoting violence prevention education.
What is worrisome is the ASUC Senate's April vote expressing no confidence in the campus's handling of sexual assault cases. A bill passed at the April 3 meeting drew issue with the campus's code of conduct policies stripping sexual assault victims' rights in reporting the incident.
A number of problems raised by the victims are also concerning.
One of the victims who filed the complaint said she received an email informing her that an investigation had taken place seven months after she reported a sexual assault incident to the campus. She said she was told the situation was resolved through an "early resolution" process but was not told whether her assailant received disciplinary action. Her assailant then graduated, making him or her exempt from any further action at the hands of the campus.
If the investigation finds problems with the campus's response, UC Berkeley needs to take immediate action to revise its policies and work to improve its environment and communication with students. If the investigation does not find the campus in violation, we can still use this moment to reflect on the code of conduct and work to ensure open and transparent communication with the students who filed the complaint.
We should applaud the victims for coming forward and make sure they know their allegations are being handled with respect and diligence.


Our first interview with Ada Mama!
So glad we got the chance to be interviewed by China Daily, as they needed a story of family with gay members – and now our family has two!
It was my mother's first interview with the media and I was worried that she might not feel comfortable to do it, but she said if we could help some people out by doing this, then go ahead! I was so moved when she told me this since she was rather closeted like I was before whenever in public.
The reporter was shocked when she found out my mother is already at her late 60s! She was so friendly and truly happy for our relationship when we told her our story. Mom was then relaxed and talked to her like a good friend.
Hopefully more people will be aware of the need of family support to their gay children.

LAtlètic Catalunya Club de Futbol fou un club de futbol català de la ciutat de Barcelona. El club disputava els seus partits al Camp de la Fabra i Coats, situat a la Rambla de Fabra i Puig del barri de Sant Andreu de Barcelona, on avui dia hi ha les instal·lacions del Club Natació Sant Andreu. Tenia unes dimensions de 93 x 54 metres i una capacitat de 4.700 espectadors, 800 asseguts i 3.900 dempeus.

Història

L'any 1922 es creà un club anomenat CD Filatures al barri de Sant Andreu, com a club esportiu de l'empresa Companyia Anònima de Filatures Fabra i Coats. El club practicà el futbol, el tennis i el basquetbol en el terreny amateur. Durant les temporades 1927-1930 i 1940-1943, la secció de basquetbol visqué actuacions destacades. L'equip de futbol visqué els millors anys les temporades 1933-1935 i 1944-1947. El club lluïa samarreta a franges blanques i negres i pantaló negre.

L'any 1953 adoptà el nom de CD Fabra i Coats i inicià una època de creixement esportiu. El 1953-54 fou campió del Campionat Comarcal d'Aficionats. El 1954-55 fou campió de Segona Categoria Regional i el 1955-56 campió de Primera Categoria Regional, disputant la fase d'ascens a Tercera Divisió, categoria que assolí. Des del 1956 jugà a Tercera Divisió, destacant la temporada 1959-1960, en què disputà la lliga d'ascens a Segona Divisió. També destacà les temporades 1960-61 i 1961-62 en les quals es classificà 5è i 4t respectivament, i la 1962-63 en què tornà a disputar la fase d'ascens a segona.

El 1965 nasqué l'Atlètic Catalunya Club de Futbol, després d'estrènyer llaços amb el FC Barcelona. L'equip canvià l'uniforme per un de blau-grana, amb les franges més estretes que les del Barça i pantaló blau.

Liniar fabricator, TruFrame, and Rapierstar celebrated seven years of 'trouble free' supply earlier in May.
Since moving onto Rapierstar's StarPVCU range of fabrication fasteners in 2011, both companies are said to have enjoyed a close working relationship that has helped to ensure that all the hand finished windows and doors leaving the TruFrame factory are using the correct screw for every application.
Nick Monger, TruFrame's purchasing director, said: "It is important that our suppliers are able to ensure stable supply of quality products as we realise our ambitious growth plans. However, we also need a partner we can work with collaboratively on new product development.
"Rapierstar has shown over the last seven years that it is not just a company that supplies us with generic fabrication screws. It is a true supply chain partner able to provide added value solutions, such as its effective stock management programme and specialist faster design-and-supply service for unique applications.

Humaria sells eggs as a street vendor to help her family survive. As with many families in Afghanistan, years of war have left them very poor. Only half of all Afghan children ages 7 to 13 attend school and typically boys are chosen over girls. When the Taliban came to power, education for girls came to an end. In 2003 the Out-of-School Girls Project began a program designed to help girls ages 9 to 14 catch up on the education they lost and rejoin the mainstream education system.

Winter break: 1.FC Kaiserslautern
16th place:
Grade: D+
FCK has a great tradition, and won two titles in the 1990s. But more recently, it's been a club beset with financial difficulties that has challenged their vocal supporters. After bouncing back from the 2.Liga, the Devils have had some minor success, but as players have developed, they've left for greener pastures (greener as in money). As a result, FCK is relying on a mix of untested youth and so-so veterans.
Youngster Kevin Trapp (21) has been barely passable as GK. Not terrible, not bad, but not at the level expected from German keepers. Maybe he's looked worse than he is, because the defense has been terrible. Veterans Florian Dick and Martin Amedick have been poor, and Brazilian Rodnei has also been weak, missing a month with injury.
The midfield has also been bad. Veteran captain Christian Tiffert (29) has battled admirably, but none of the other 8 players tried have been even close to his form. A couple of young Greek players, Thanos Petsos (20) and Konstantinos Foutonis (19) have seen lots of playing time, but not impressed. Veteran Oliver Kirch (29) has also been weak.
The attack is just like the other areas: struggling. Israeli Itay Schechter leads the line with 3 goals, pretty meager output for 17 matches. Slovak Adam Nemec was out injured for 4 months and has recently come back into the lineup, showing some promise. German-Congan Richard Sukata-Pasu (21) has perhaps been the worst forward in the league, 14 matches, 0 goals. He probably needs some seasoning in the 2.Liga.
Coach Marco Kurz has his work cut out, but is doing a reasonable job. Like many teams in his predicament, the collective is better than the sum of the parts. FCK is known for their fighting spirit, and that along with the fanatical home support will have to be enough to carry them through. That should probably be enough to keep them up, because I can't see this squad losing a relegation playoff with a 2.Liga contender, and I don't see them falling below Augsburg (basically a discount version of FCK) or Freiburg.

paint colors might not be as easy as you think. As a thing owner from the world of professional auto detailing, I am commonly asked what the best car paint color is. I don't know roughly you, but I always have to laugh whenever I acquire a question roughly speaking the "best" of anything.
In order to to even begin answering this question it is critical to clarify the ask more precisely.
as far and wide as care and allowance goes; which is usually what the question is really nearly bearing in mind I dig a little deeper into the "real" question beast asked.
Not all automotive paint colors are created equal; some have a greater emotional response, some have greater demands of care and maintenance. If you are looking to get the most out of car ownership and desire lasting satisfaction, next get into along and become portion of the elite organization of help called the informed! Knowledge alone is not power, but knowledge applied is power!
After all, it's generally in style that black cars are hotter in the sun and white cars save cooler in the summer, but is it in reality true? Our latest video puts that theory to the test. … The black car's cabin measured a scorching 130 degrees Fahrenheit, though the white car's interior registered without help 113 degrees.
like a color (colored fabric) absorbs light, it turns the buoyant into thermal computer graphics (heat). The more blithe a color absorbs, the more thermal activity it produces. Black fabric absorbs every colors of light and is hence warmer than white fabric which reflects all colors.
syndrome of that adore or hater relationship. People all love bearing in mind black or dark colored cars are clean and shiny, but despise the pretension dust shows in the works shortly and it seems they are dirty more than they are ever clean!

So this week we have finally moved on to our Living Room which for us is the Main Room of this little cabin which also serves as the Dining Room, Home School Area, and temporarily holds a bunk bed set for now. A lot goes on in this room so just thinking about tackling it was a bit daunting. I broke it down into sections and decided to take it one wall/partial wall at a time.
The FlyLady missions for the week were to do a Hot Spot Drill, to get rid of anything that doesn't belong in this area, do a detailed vacuuming session which includes the baseboards and under the furniture, a detailed dusting of pictures and decorative items, and then on Friday it was for a multi room mission to tackle Hot Spots in the Dining Room, Entrance, and Porch Areas. I planned to a do a more detailed cleaning but these would have been a good starting point if I was just doing my regular housecleaning.
I did measure again to see if there was any way to get the end tables in here but not yet. Currently they are pushed together and being used as the coffee table while the coffee table is out in the storage area on the porch. I really do miss my coffee table as it has storage where we have always previously stored all of our board games. I will be so happy when we can finally get everything situated to bring it into this room. Small steps will make it happen.
I used the vacuum cleaner to clean the cobwebs and such from the corners and the wall. The walls are made of rough cut lumber so it can be a bit tricky to clean and I wasn't really sure how to go about it.
I ended up using my new wood cleaner from Grove and a couple of damp rags. I was able to clean off most of the dry wall mud and paint that had splattered down from the ceiling too. I wiped the walls from ceiling to base board and everything in between. It made a big difference! You may remember that I used a wood floor cleaner on my cabinets in the kitchen but this is a spray and it has that same wonderful almond scent to it.
There was one small portion of wall that I attempted to clean with the wet rags before using the vacuum. Big mistake! It is much easier to remove the cobwebs and dust with the vacuum first and then go over it with the cleaner and damp rag. The girls worked on wiping down the lamps and tables as I cleaned.
We then used the steam mop to clean the floor under the couch before moving it back into place. Then came time to clean out the couch. I showed the girls how to use the attachments on the vacuum to clean the cushions and then we lifted the bottom cushion so they could clean out the storage area underneath. We removed everything and relocated a few items that really didn't belong in this area.
After cleaning it out the kids folded the blankets neatly and placed them back into the storage area. They then fixed the couch up nicely and put the throw pillows back on it. This made me aware that I desperately need to make some new covers for these pillows as they have definitely seen better days.
Yes, the arm rests are on the wrong sides. The couch had some defects when it arrived and this is the only way to keep the sides tight. I got a discount for keeping it and it serves its purpose for now so we can live with a little bit of backwardness.
That was enough for the day as I was pretty wore out from all of the other work I had done earlier. I had the kids do a quick pick up through the main room and they straightened up a few toys and such before dinner so everything would be nice and tidy before bed.
OK, the second day in the living room. Where to start? To the left of where we started yesterday or to the right? Or should I attempt to clean the fans and the center beam? So many decisions. I finally decided to go to the left so I could finish the other side of the wall I had started on. I had to bring the step ladder back into the house and get my supplies ready but first we tackled our daily chores and got some laundry started.
We stripped the beds and got the sheets put in the washer. The girls swapped them out in between rain showers. Then we set to work on the next area.
This little corner had the DVD shelf, the chalkboard, a couple of extra chairs, and a slew of other items like a light table that we haven't had room to set out and some small pop up tents the kids like to play in. We also went through the closet we had in the corner.
This closet holds most of the kids' square dance outfits and such. Plus it was home to extra sheets and other random things.
After emptying the closet and sorting everything out here is what it looks like. Wow! There's actually an empty basket down there too! What oh what shall put in it? Nothing for now. I'm really liking having empty spaces.
Then it was time to move this thing so I could clean behind and under it.
So that's where all the missing puzzle pieces and bean bags have been hiding! That's a stack of molding there too for a future project. We are hoping to get a storage shed cleaned out so we can move some of this molding and stuff out of the house.
Next I grabbed the vacuum and cleaned the walls. (Notice how dirty and dingy that threshold is?) After sucking up most of the cobwebs I wiped the walls down and scrubbed off any paint/mud and boy do these walls look better!
Here's a picture from above of the rest of the work in progress while I was doing this.
I worked my way around to the big window which meant we had to move the bunk bed and the chalkboard.
That's the girls trying to pick up before I could get a picture of the mess they had.
I cleaned this wall and the window frame. I also cleaned the window which didn't do a whole lot of good because the outside is really dirty. I can't get to it because of the water level being up but eventually it'll get washed.
Can you see the difference? Now I'm sure if I had used a little more elbow grease it would've made a bigger impact but I don't want to get the wood too wet.
The girls made their beds with the freshly laundered sheets and wiped down the bunk bed and chalkboard while I cleaned. I would have had them help with the wall but I have gotten a couple of nasty splinters already so I let them handle some of the other cleaning. Then we did a quick mop.
Once this was cleaned it was time to put it all back. The girls sorted through the mess they had picked up from behind the bed. They also cleaned the puzzle pieces and put them where they belonged.
I put the chalkboard behind the bed for now as I just wanted it out of the way. We sorted the DVDs and culled out a few after making sure everything was in the correct case. I also fixed the shelf as it was kind of falling apart. Now the shelf has some empty space too and I'm loving it! Hopefully I can gather up a few stray DVDs from my room and give them a home here tomorrow.
I emptied the homeschool/art supplies that had been hidden in the pretty storage boxes on top of the cabinet. (I did such a good job hiding them I completely forgot they were there!) They are now in one of the homeschool cabinets. The empty boxes went back on top of the closet for now.
The extra sheets all got rehomed in the couch storage area with the ones from yesterday. I also took all the flat sheets and put them in a giveaway bag as the kids never seem to use them anyway. I get tired of washing them over and over just because I find them in the floor.
The extra chairs actually fit into the closet so I put that empty basket in my room for now along with the sleeping bags. I will put these away tomorrow in a tote that I keep in William's room.
I also used the extra screen in the corner between the DVD shelf and the bunk bed.
Then I set to work scrubbing that dirty threshold between the main room and the bedroom. I ended up using a stiff bristle brush and the wood cleaner to get it clean. I also had to take off the front piece of trim to get all of the dirt out. (Oops, I should've shook out the rug before the pic.) The difference is amazing and I am wondering how the walls would've looked if I'd been using that brush to start with. I think I'm gonna need to invest in a long handled brush and a sturdy bucket for this task in the future.
Mr. Awesome was a bit concerned as to why exactly I have been cleaning like a crazy lady when he saw me scrubbing the threshold here. He thought maybe we had some company coming or something. I told him we weren't expecting any company and that the house just really needed a good cleaning.
I had intended to clean the walls and all before moving in but things just didn't work out that way. It's better late than never right? He did comment on how nice the house smells since using that new cleaner.
The boys really like this corner as they have a hiding spot now.
A couple of months ago I took apart a room divider screen to make a temporary door for this bedroom and it has worked out pretty well for this small space. The original door is actually out in the shed but it needs some work to fit in here after the drywall and door molding was put up in the bedroom. I would really like to put some kind of sliding door or pocket door here if we can.
After putting everything back together it was time for dinner. We had a gourmet meal of Sloppy Joes, Boxed Mac N Cheese, and potato chips. Not the most nutritious meal but it sure was good.
After dinner everyone had showers and did a quick pick up before bed. I also took the two board puzzles that had all the pieces to the kitchen. I saran wrapped them before placing them in the giveaway bag.
What area will we tackle next? I'm not really sure yet but it might be the TV wall or maybe my desk area? I really want to tackle the fan and center beam on this side of the room but I'm not sure that I can reach them with my ladder.
I think our strategy of breaking it down into sections and our top to bottom cleaning method is working out pretty well so far. Everything gets emptied, sorted, and wiped down before being put back. Once the cleaning is finished I may do some rearranging but I'm not sure about that yet as we will be doing a major rearranging soon.
I've also informed Mr. Awesome that once we get our upcoming project completed and all the furniture is where we want it that I'm gonna need a nailer and some molding. I plan to tack some molding along the bottoms of the cabinets and such to keep from having so much stuff getting lost underneath.
All in all we are making a lot of progress. Over half of the house, maybe three fourths, has been decluttered and cleaned. That leaves the main closet and about half of the Main Room to go through. As we've cleaned we have been getting rid of things we don't need or use. We have also been gathering like things into one area, today I pulled that storage basket of office supplies out from under my bed and put it on my desk, which will help me to decide what needs to go and what needs to stay.
I know I will be able to continue to deep clean some areas I missed the first time around as well as finding more items to get rid of or repurpose elsewhere. In the bathroom I will look back through some of the supplies I kept in a month or so. If they haven't been touched then I need to pass them along or get rid of them.
The porch storage area will come along soon enough. Hopefully when the rain stops we will be able to work out there. The rain has put quite a few projects on hold but I have faith that we will get to them.

Savings Guru are proud to be a sponsor of Billericay Town FC, who play in the National League South. This season, the firm are a sponsor of talented young manager, Harry Wheeler, who at just 23 became one of the youngest coaches to hold the UEFA A licence.
Savings Guru have agreed to support Billericay based charity BOSP in 2018-19.
As part of their sponsorship of Billericay Town FC, striker Jake Robinson was sponsored by the firm for the 2018-19 season with Savings Guru agreeing to donate £10 to BOSP for every goal the forward scores in all competitions for the club. Robinson joined Billericay for a (then) club record fee in 2017 with the former Brighton striker scoring a phenomenal 57 goals last season including the goal of the season from inside his own half away at Dulwich Hamlet.
Sadly, Robinson was sold at the end of 2018 by Billericay to Maidstone United with the forward on an incredible 17 goals for the season, despite a month out with injury! A cheque for £170 was presented to BOSP to mark this.
Savings Guru also held a raffle at the 2018 Billericay Christmas Market, raising a further £100 for the charity who look after over 600 children and young people with very serious disabilities all over Essex and rely 100% on donations.
It is hoped that further initiatives will be announced shortly, once discussions with Billericay Town FC have concluded on the sponsorship arrangements in light of Robinson's departure.
Savings Guru FC is a team of industry professionals who predominantly work in savings within the banking sector. They play a regular fixture against the Financial Scribblers FC, a team of personal financial journalists from the national media.
Their inaugural game against The Scribblers was played at Norwich City's Carrow Road Stadium in May 2015. In a close match, The Scribblers ran out 3-2 winners.
In 2017, they played at Southend United's Root's Hall Stadium and, in another close game, ran out 4-1 winners against The Scribblers with Savings Guru founder, James Blower, winning and converting a 90th minute penalty to seal victory. James is pictured with the match officials and Scribblers captain, Simon Read.
Plans are already underway for the 2019 fixture!
We are proud to make a monthly donation to this scholarship fund. The fund supports undergraduates from the UK, who live in households with an income of under £30,000 per annum, with financial support towards the costs of their study.


Heard its a great cleaner. Use on fabric, metals and plastics. Great in the bathroom as well.
Solvent free. Removes grease and oil from fabric and porous materials, for removing grease from kitchen surfaces and for cleaning oily surfaces such as engines and machinery.
I have been using this cleaner for a couple of years now,(purchased from Poundworld). It is a great cleaner, I found it to be better than any of the brands on the market, I don't use anything else.

Girl Without Guitar
The first guitar was not a gift. It belonged to my father. Apparently, he let me use it, although I don't remember asking. I do remember my junior year — lugging the heavy, awkwardly-shaped Johnny Cash special to high school for guitar class.
Participation in the band program at our school met the requirement for a physical education elective. And I was among that portion of the high school population for whom avoidance of phys. ed was its own unofficial pass-or-fail course. Since my parents had already experienced the joys of band instrument rental to the point of expiration through my older brother and sister, if I were going to take up a band class, it was going to be Beginning Guitar.
High School Band Room – The Recluse Club
The class itself was not at all terrible. It was liberatingly unstructured with only about five of us in the class. Five who showed up, anyway.There was Renee, a sweet stoner girl who sometimes played her instrument, but spent most of her time exploring the acoustical benefits of the band room by belting out numbers from West Side Story. Beneath flickering tube lights, she spent most classes roaming the rows of shabby desks, waving her arms expressively while singing all the parts to "A Boy Like That."
There were a few boys who mostly kept to themselves, doing whatever it is high school boys who didn't hate guitars and also probably wanted to avoid phys ed do. (I was not interested in such things at the time. I was a late bloomer when it came to boys.)
The instructor was there from once in a while, teaching a lesson or giving a test from a glossy guitar primer containing an occasional Beatles cover. But like the rest of us, he seemed to enjoy the informal groove we established in Beginning Guitar, so none of us complained about our casual, independent learning.
Suspended 7th
That class is my fondest memory of playing guitar. It was clear I never really wanted to play the instrument. I learned the basics easily enough, but I didn't have a passion for it. After high school, I thought the guitar and I parted ways on good terms. We'd have signed each others' yearbooks if either one of us had gotten one. It was all good.But guitar after guitar kept showing up in my life for many years. And each one seemed to have a 7th string attached to a man.
A shiny red Peavey knock-off under a Christmas tree one year led me to guitar lessons in a townhouse with my boyfriend's friend, a respected jazz guitar player and instructor in our area. I practiced diligently and grew very adept at scales and exercises. I could hammer-on and pull-off like lightning up and down that slick, narrow neck, but that was about it. The teacher was patient enough, but the instrument meant nothing to me and neither of us was disappointed when my lessons stopped.
A glittery silver Les Paul knock-off was next, but I never made it sing — never really wanted to.
I went furthest with a narrow-bodied Telecoustic. I wanted to please the gift giver, so I learned enough to rhythmically strum a few songs to accompany my vocals in public. But each apparent triumph was as hollow to me as that thin wooden body strapped against my front. It just wasn't for me. And I guess that's why we never became friends, guitars and me.
The gifts were well-meant, I'm sure, but I felt like a bird in a cage being given a hamster toy. And birds don't want to spin on wheels. They want to fly.

Olmert: Israel not alarmed
(VIDEO) Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert presents Kadima list of candidates for Knesset; says, 'People sitting here will be tasked with shaping Israel's permanent borders as a state with a clear, solid Jewish majority'
Ronny Sofer|Last update: 01.31.06 , 19:47
(VIDEO) Four weeks after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon fell into unconsciousness, the party he founded, Kadima, presented its list of candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections.
The names of the first 50 candidates were read out, as the Kadima members took their place on the stage in Jerusalem to the sounds of applause from the audience.

Haim Ramon, who could not attend due to a recent heart attack, received especially warm applause, as did Tzipi Livni and Shimon Peres.
Elections Looming
Likud: Olmert will bring Hamastan to capital

Likud entourage tours security fence, slams new route; 'We must not bring Hamastan so close to Jerusalem,' says former foreign minister Silvan Shalom; Netanyahu: Olmert's decision endangers thousands of Israelis, acting prime minister does not understand security
The atmosphere in the conference hall in Jerusalem was warm and pleasant as polls continue to smile on the new party, which is projected to win between 40 and 50 mandates.
Acting Prime Minister and party head Ehud Olmert addressed the conference, saying, "I am grateful, and I am moved to the bottom of my soul, as I am sure all of the important and impressive people who make up the Kadima list for the 17th Knesset are as well," he said.
"Life in the State of Israel presents to us daily challenges and difficult and complex experiences. Israel is a strong country, we are not alarmed by external events, nor by events in recent developments," he added.
"The people sitting here in this hall will have to lead the State of Israel to two central destinations," continued Olmert.
"First – the shaping of Israel's permanent borders as a state with a clear and solid Jewish majority; Second – an in depth, seriously, responsible treatment of the social gaps in this country," said Olmert.
'Kadima represents the majority'
The acting prime minister addressed the circumstances of the creation of his new party. "Kadima was born out of a need for a large, central and significant Israeli movement to express the position of most of the citizens. It was born out a feeling of responsibility by its founders, and out of full faith in the future of Israel as a country, state, and national home. But above all, Kadima was born from the determination, bravery, and leadership of its founder, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon," Olmert told the audience.
'Kadima the voice of every Israeli who desires calm and peace.' Olmert (Photo: Gil Yochanan)
"Here, today in Jerusalem, our united capital, we commit ourselves to be deserving of public faith, to lead from a sense of mission and faith, and to ensure the future for the State of Israel, us, and our children after us. Kadima is the political and public expression of the feeling of the majority of Israeli citizens. It is a national, centrist movement, searching for a partner in Israeli society, and working towards establishing a bridge of understanding and compromise among all segments of society. Kadima is the expression of the need to create a new national agreement." Olmert said.
"It is the voice of every Israeli who desires calm and peace, but always prioritizes the security of Israel and her citizens above all else. Kadima will respect the rights of minorities and ensure their ability to run their lives as equal citizens in this country. Kadima is committed to reforms in the education system and in the government. There is no list like this in any other party, nor can there be, because Kadima represents a new hope for Israel. We will ensure that Israel is the one which shapes its future, we will ensure that Israel goes forward responsibly and with good judgment," he added.
Speaking about Prime Minister Sharon, Olmert said, "The man who shaped the face of the State of Israel in recent years, the man who established and founded the Kadima movement, is continuing to bravely fight his illness, and all our hearts are with him. We will continue together in the mission Sharon has placed on our shoulders. I, together with you, will continue to fill the place of Ariel Sharon with pride, with a feeling of responsibility, and a deep commitment to complete what Sharon hoped and planned to carry out in the coming years."
These are Kadima's top 10 spots on the list:
1. Ehud Olmert
2. Shimon Peres
3. Tzipi Livni
4. Meir Sheetrit
5. Avi Dichter
6. Marina Solodkin
7. Haim Ramon
8. Shaul Mofaz

The dock in trouble PHOTO: Bente Poder - Nordjyske
Danish cantilever dock collapses leaving fishing boat trapped
Adrian Nyhammer Olsen and Marie Misund Bringslid, Sysla
A floating dock at a shipyard in Denmark, has dramatically tilted with a fishing boat inside.
The dock in Hirtshals Harbour canted this morning with a Norwegian fishing ship inside, reported Danish media.
Norwegian news site Sysla confirmed that it was the fishing boat the "Hardhaus" originally from Austevoll, Norway, in the float dock.
"Yes, we're down there now. We do not have so much details yet, but realise that the dock has slackened. We have no feedback as to whether things are under control, so we are afraid of the consequences, "said the "Hardhauss'" shipowner Inge Møgster.

The Norwegian fishing boat was in for a paint job and had been in the 82 meter long dock for a week and a half. It should be done next Wednesday.
"It's a sad situation, of course, but now with uncertain consequences. We'll see what's happening throughout the day, but we're worried, says Møgster.
According to the newspaper Nordjyske, there were no people inside when the accident occurred. Danish TV2 reported that it had taken in water and rolled to one side.
"We are trying to get to grips with the situation. We are working on getting the boat out now, "said Rasmus Brohus, CEO of Hirtshals Yard to the publication.
The Hardhaus pictured in the dock on Tuesday:


I love knitting with double-pointed needles. They're so compact, so efficient, so perfect for socks. I like to use them for hats, mitts, and sleeves, too. Though I know how to knit small things in the round on one long or two circular needles, I would rather use my beautiful DPN's.
I love the way they feel in my hands. Some of my DPN's have developed a sweet curve over time, a slight bend that seems to fit me. I have metal, plastic, bamboo, rosewood, and birch DPN's, but my favorites are Crystal Palace bamboo and Brittany birch.
Working with DPN's is one of my favorite things about knitting, especially when I'm knitting socks. I like to use five needles, and I love the little collapsible square that forms. It's so symmetrical and precise, and it's as if I'm building a little dwelling as I knit around. With practice I've learned how not to make ladders, or drop a needle, or lose stitches off the end. My DPN's and I are in sync.
Whenever I am in a yarn store, I look for my favorite sizes of DPN's. I can never have too many!
Delightful, Jane! I do love DPNs too!
Oh, I am like that about addi turbo's in small sizes; 1, 2, and 3's. I just buy them all the time. I almost have enough. I love having lots of favorite needles.
Good "D"! I like knitting with DPNs too.
I love bamboo double points and try to knit most projects on them, apart from sweaters of course!
Great post! I'm a dpn fan myself.
DPNs are the only way to go! I'm actually becoming more and more partial to the Knit Picks Harmony dpns, though.
I am also fond of CP dpns. I want to try the options set, but thinking about the multi colored dpn on a multi colored sock makes me feel a bit carsick. I will also someday learn magic loop and 2 socks 2 circs just for the learning, but can't imagine either replacing my need for the dpns.Brava!
You know the best thing about socks on DPNs? When you turn the heel and just start working through the foot, you have a temporary Catfish sock puppet to play with. I can't count the number of kids I've used that on.

Adam Pascal, James Snyder, Lilli Cooper, Jaygee Macapugay and More Set for Virtual Readings of Mark Governor's New Musical shAme
Art Lab and ShowTown Productions have announced two virtual, invitation-only readings of the new musical shAme, to be streamed Wednesday, November 18 and Thursday, November 19.
Jaygee Macapugay
shAme is written by Mark Governor, based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter, and directed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall. The cast is led by Adam Pascal, James Snyder, and Lilli Cooper, with Jessica Jaunich, Jaygee Macapugay, Kevin McAllister, Kevyn Morrow, Andrew Polec, Aurelia Williams, and Samantha Williams.
Kathleen Marshall said, "I'm so thrilled that we have found a way to continue our development of Mark Governor's new musical shAme with its beautiful and timely message of tolerance and compassion. Creating an all-virtual reading with our awesome cast has been both challenging and invigorating!"
The presentations of shAme feature music direction by Cynthia Meng; editing by Mindy Elliot, Kevin Tent, and Angela Latimer; photography direction by Howie Michael Smith; and orchestrations by David O. ShowTown Theatricals provides general management. Additional creative team members and a production schedule will be announced at a later date.
This original and evocative sung-through adaptation of The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic tale of Hester Pryne and the aftermath of her public punishment for sin, features an eclectic mix of contemporary music styles including rock, pop, folk, roots and soul. Although shAme remains true to the novel and takes place in the same time and Puritanical New England setting, the edgy costume and production design, inventive staging and diverse casting combined with the contemporary score connects the story to our current times, and the resonance to current events and the "Me Too" movement is strong and profoundly moving.

VS #1123 Mepal
A cache by MarcusMaximi Send Message to Owner Message this owner
Village signs is a series of caches based on the ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (normally on the village green!).
This cache is a camo 60ml tub
Mepal is a village in Cambridgeshire, England. Mepal is part of the East Cambridgeshire district, and is located just north of the A142 road between Ely and Chatteris.
First recorded at the start of the 13th century Mepal's history has always been tied up with that of The Fens and the village is less than ten metres above sea level. One of the smaller villages of the Isle of Ely, Mepal lies at the western end of the Isle on what was once the shore between the fenland and the higher ground of the Isle.
The Old Bedford River and the New Bedford River (also known as the Hundred Foot Drain) run very close on the northwestern side of the village, and the only important bridges of the rivers are found in Mepal. The old and new rivers, originally modified by the Victorians, offer the main drainage route for the Fens and retain a major flood plain between the two river beds. The flood plain typically floods between November and March of each year.
A major fire devastated the village in the 19th century, leading to a drop in population from 510 to 397 between 1861 and 1871. There are thus very few remaining buildings dating from before the 19th century.
Listed as Mepahala at the start of the 13th century, the village's name means "Nook of land of a man called Meapa."
The cache is a short walk from the village sign so please do not go climbing all over it!
If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you let SmokeyPugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication..

If you've never saddled up with a few Vanessa Vale cowboys, now is your chance! Welcome to Steele Ranch, where the men are hot, dominant and know what they want. Sam and Ashe didn't believe in love at first sight. They didn't understand how the men who'd been spurred, wrangled, tangled and even hitched to the other Steele heiresses fell so hard, so fast. Until now. One look at Natalie and Sam and Ashe are ruined for all other women. But she's not easy to tame. They'll need to lasso more than just her heart in order to make her theirs once and for all. But a final twist puts all five of the Steele sisters in danger. With the help of their men, can Natalie, Kady, Penny, Cricket and Sarah finally find peace and bring the one thing back to the ranch that's always been missing? Family. **** A standalone read, this is MFM—it's all about the heroine.
Vanessa Vale's "Lassoed" is the fifth and final tale in the Steele Ranch series. You can read it as a standalone, but you'll want to start at the beginning and read them all! This one has a twist to it - one that I won't spoil - but, trust me, it's very twisty! Sam and Ashe are two big sexies! There have to be two more hotties out there for me - I swear I'm the sixth Steele heiress! Is it wrong to daydream all day every day about moving out to Montana?

A tropical storm watch remains in effect for Saint Lucia (SLU). It was located 1,140 miles (1,830 kilometers) east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles on Friday morning.
Forecasters said Beryl was expected to strengthen some more in the next few days but predicted it would begin weakening after entering the Caribbean late Sunday or early Monday. Hurricane Beryl, now southeast of the Lesser Antilles in the southern Caribbean, is considered a small storm, creating some uncertainty about the analysis, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
While Chris isn't expected to make landfall in the USA, rough seas churned up by the storm could cause deadly rip currents along the North Carolina and Mid-Atlantic coasts this week.
Tropical Storm Beryl formed as a tropical depression on Thursday, July 5.
Outside scattered showers and storms and rough seas for the Carolina coast this system is not expected to have much of an impact on the United States.
Saturday morning NOAA satellite photo shows Beryl, now a tropical storm, moving towards the Lesser Antilles. Maximum sustained winds were at 75 miles per hour with a minimum central pressure of 995 mb.
"Beryl is moving toward the west-northwest near 18 miles per hour (30 km/h) and this motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next couple of days".
By Monday the hurricane may hit Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as a weakened system.
The storm is expected to become a tropical storm Saturday, the NHC said Friday night, with a "gradual strengthening expected through Monday".
By Tuesday, the storm is forecast to degenerate but could still produce some gusty winds and heavy rain over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola.
Tropical Storm Beryl is moving rapidly westward toward the Lesser Antilles at the eastern entrance of the Caribbean Sea. The system is forecast to move slowly northwestward and could meander or stall near the North Carolina coast over the weekend.

HeidelbergCement Headquarters
The Covid-19 pandemic has blocked many plans for 2020 – but not the completion of the works on our new headquarters. After three years of construction, the building was ready for us to move in, just as we had planned. The current situation did not allow us to host a big opening celebration.
Instead, we moved in rather quietly, although we would have had every reason to celebrate: the new headquarters is a spectacular replacement for the old building, which had been standing at the exact same place since 1963. The building marks a new era for the company, not just visually but also technically: it is a sample project for sustainability and demonstrates what concrete is capable of nowadays, technically and aesthetically.
'Platinum' by the DGNB for the new building aimed
From the outset, we aimed at the highest standard awarded by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) – the 'Platinum' standard. And in fact, the new headquarters have a lot to offer when it comes to climate friendliness: about 1,000 square metres of the roof's surface are equipped with photovoltaic panels. The base load of heating and cooling is provided by renewable energies – which, in this case, means that heat and cold are drawn from the groundwater via a specially drilled well. Moreover, there are 28 charging units for electric cars and 190 covered parking spots for bicycles, of which about 100 have an electric charging connection.
Steffen Fuchs
With the interior construction, a major challenge was the measurement and control technology since the building is equipped with the newest systems. The systems not only comprise heating and cooling/air conditioning, but also shading and light control, which depend on the position of the sun and the time of day. Coordinating the construction works was far from easy as well: the building stands in the heart of Heidelberg on a busy street near the Neckar River. Up to 450 construction workers from different professions worked here simultaneously.
The white outer frame made of precast concrete is an architectural highlight that catches the eye and shows the great versatility of concrete. The curved lines not only dominate the building but also its surroundings. For the white frame elements, the photocatalytic cement TioCem was used – a product that contains titanium dioxide to filter pollutants from the air. The aim is to significantly reduce the NOx content in the air around the new building, which stands on a busy street. The concrete paving outside the building is also made of TioCem and was supplied by our subsidiary Lithonplus.
Raphael Neff
The new headquarters consists of three separate building sections with different heights, which are connected to each other and have a landscaped inner courtyard each. The 200.000 cubic metres of enclosed space in total enable flexible floor plans for different requirements. At ground level, the building offers a large conference zone with numerous conference rooms, social rooms, the cafeteria with a commercial kitchen, and a modern staff area with a parent-child office as well as a multifunctional sports facility. Fully equipped tea kitchens and different meeting areas on every level top off the facilities. Besides open-plan workstations, there are classical office rooms for one or two people.
Employees helped shape their workstations
Prior to construction, employees had the possibility to take part in planning the design of their future workstations. Modern furniture with height adjustable desks is a standard in every office. All interiors are light-filled and transparent. Windows can be opened in every room and employees can adjust the room temperatures individually. Another major feature in times of Covid-19: every office has separate ventilation to the outside.
The main entrance leads to a three-storey atrium with various exposed concrete features. For the atrium, a self-compacting fine concrete with the highest class SB4 was used for the partly filigree and highly reinforced elements like columns, walls and the three spectacular "tree columns" located freely in the room.
Thilo Ross
These columns get their name from their tree-like design and their static function as "roots". Along with their colouring, they have another special technical feature: the formwork was filled from below and the concrete was pressed up to a height of 11 m.
It is apparent that this building is not just any office building but the headquarters of a globally leading building materials company. The only solid load-bearing surfaces inside are the columns and stairwells. The building opens up to its surroundings thanks to the transparent glass façade. Certain areas like the spacious atrium, the cafeteria and the "Magistralen" – recreation areas connecting the different sections – are visually accessible from the outside. This special transparency creates a vivid appearance, establishes relationships with the surrounding public spaces and fosters the interaction with the urban environment.

Here are some pictures of routers from a variety of manufacturers. The key feature is one or more antennas.
Most routers have a small wall power supply that is plugged into a standard wall outlet. It looks a lot like the one you've used for a cell phone. When you unplug the power supply, the router and Wi-Fi will be powered down. This will result in the loss of connection to the Internet for all of your devices that rely on a router. Most cell phones will automatically switch over to the data plan of your cell phone service. But sure to pay attention to your use of social media and web browsing to avoid higher than normal charges for data usage.
Where Can I Find the Router?


Well, as mentioned in a earlier post I switched from MAMP to AMPPS.
Of course, how good anything might be, nothing works out of the box. Luckily, Ampps is fairly easy to set up.
