When I have a few moments to mosey around and see what people are making or doing or saying in their corner of the blog world, my interest is often stirred by those that offer up details of their life, spilling their feelings and stories like the pages of an open book.
I find myself drawn into their daily happenings through the funny things their kids did, the places they visited, the happy moments that they share and the sad ones too.
I might talk about a recipe that I made or a place that I visited or tell you how I grew cosmos this year and then go on to say that this is the first year I planted them and probably not the last since they did so well…spouting tall, looking all pretty and wispy and such.
And of course, I would show you some pictures, because that's what we do, but for me, that's the best part. It's how I tell my story.
Hi everyone! Well, here it is May already. Can you believe it? After our long winter, I've been eagerly awaiting this time of year and the warmer weather and sunny skies that it brings.For what seems like months now, there's been thoughts dancing around in my head about how wonderful it will be to get outdoors…wondering what flowers I should plant…if I should make a little garden. I try to block any notion of pulling weeds, painting the fence or of voles that have completely ruined my yard. Sadly though, I haven't gotten much of anything done, since nice days have been few and far between.
I'm thinking that instead of saying "April showers bring May flowers," the more appropriate phrase around here would be "April snow brings May flowers." Let's hope anyway, since there's not a whole lot of bloomin' going on in these parts.
A few weeks back the florist called to tell me that they had finally received one of my flower favorites…ranunculus. I needed a little slice of spring so I rushed right over. I can't wait for my yard to start sprouting some others that I love like lilacs, peonies and hydrangeas. Do you have a favorite flower that you plant every year or one that you can't wait for it to bloom?
As I was snapping away, I remembered that I had this pretty round box…it's covered in vintage wallpaper. Isn't it a cute little prop? I wish I didn't love little odds and ends like this so much, I never know what to do with them other than use them for photos. I tell myself that that's a good enough reason to have them around.
Well, that's all for today…just a few flower photos.
Thanks for visiting. Hope you have a happy weekend!

Lakers Hire Dr. Karida Brown As Director Of Racial Equity & Action
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
NBA Rumors: Video Games, Ping Pong, DJ Sets & 24-Hour Concierge Among Amenities Available For Players Inside Walt Disney World Bubble
The Los Angeles Lakers announced the hiring of Dr. Karida Brown as the Director of Racial Equity & Action to help the team in their efforts to promote change within the community.
Brown is an assistant professor of African American Studies and Sociology at UCLA and also serves on the boards of The Obama Presidency Oral History Project and the Du Boisian Scholar Network.
Brown has a master's and a doctorate in sociology from Brown University and a master's in government administration from the University of Pennsylvania.
In addition to her status as a Fulbright Scholar, she has also written two books detailing instances of racial injustice in the United States and is currently working on a third book titled "Separate and Unequal," that will center on the history of segregated school systems and the impact it continues to have today.
It is safe to say that Brown is well-equipped to provide the Lakers with a sense of direction when it comes to tackling the issues of systemic racism. As a result, she will be taking on an integral role within the franchise in order to help it come to fruition.
"We are very happy to have Dr. Brown join the team," Lakers COO & president of business operations Tim Harris said.
"She will play a key role in implementing educational programming on race and racism for our employees and helping us focus on racial equity in our day-to-day functions, as well as empowering the organization to identify ways to be more active participants in affecting real change."
Lakers teammates active in seeking change
Avery Bradley and Dwight Howard have played a central role in voicing the concerns over restarting the 2019-20 NBA season amid the efforts being made to combat racial injustice and usher in police reform. They are hoping players and owners alike will continue to put an emphasis on the real issues at hand in order to spark true change.
Danny Green recently joined peaceful protestors in downtown L.A., and LeBron James is spearheading a voting rights organization that is focused on using the voices of professional athletes and entertainers to combat voter suppression and support African-American voters in their communities.
Among the notable topics Bradley has touched on is his desire for the league to improve the representation in front offices to better reflect that of the players. Fortunately, the Lakers have since put the onus on themselves to answer the call by doing just that with the hiring of Brown.

I just came back from France and Germany. Had a fantastic premiere of 2 pieces by the LINEA Ensemble of Strasbourg, a phenomenal New Music Ensemble! The pieces presented in the program were for flute(s), guitar and electronics ("Elastics II" ) and for viola played 'alla chitarra' and electronics; ("Percussion Study V" ). They were played by the incredible flutist Mario Caroli and the amazing guitarist Pablo Marquez (he played both). It was truly powerful and very symbiotic the mix between live and prerecorded sounds!! It happened at the Museum of Modern Art of Strasbourg June 1st. It's a very beautiful and modern space in the midst of a medieval town... After the concert I had a show of pop-hybrid 'avantgardish' music with my bass player at another theater, called 'Hall des Chars...' Check these links below and you'll see some photos of my performance , the museum, some ensemble personnel, and at the end an interview in English with me.
Below is the link to a web radio talk/music show I recently did. I showed some recordings of my music like 'avant garde' Bossas-Novas and some new music pieces: "Percussion Study 1" for guitar, "Exoskeleton" for orchestral viola played 'alla chitarra' and "Nosturnos" for piano solo recently released by Koch records and played by the amazing pianist Jenny Lin (available everywhere).
I also had some pieces from my old album: "Tesão" ( kind of a rock a la Bartok were i sing both voices man and woman) and the Popera "Elevator Man, Onestaldo" (a music theater piece i did back in the days). There you'll find too some live Bossas ( the last 2 pieces in the program -- it's a little improvised but I guess it gives an idea of the pieces' intention. "Copacabana" is the first one and after you'll hear "Mirrors"). Unfortunately I wasn't able to show my recent piece "Antropofagia" for electric guitar and ensemble that premiered this past July at the ISCM 2006 (World New Music Days) in Germany played by the KNM of Berlin and Wiek Hijmans el. guitar. I don't have the CD yet, but it was a TOTAL BLAST, AMAZING REALLY!! Tell more some other time... Well, the Noizepunk boy and Das Krooner were great interviewers and put new music through the blender of contemporaneity with the necessary "crazyness..." Hope you enjoy the show!
Kampela had the premiere of two of his pieces by the virtuosi chamber ensemble LINEA, from Strasbourg. The Ensemble LINEA is presenting the series "Champs Libres" focusing on works of the contemporary music repertoire. (<?color><?param 115D,115D,115D>http://www.champs-libres.fr/concert-champs-libres.php)
 <?/color>This concert featured besides Kampela the renowned composers Maurício Kagel and Vinko Globokar. The concert took place June 23rd at the "Hall des Chars" in Strasbourg. See below the excellent review of the works of Kampela. For more detailed info on program and to read the review scroll down.

Dans les éruptions de Layers....(1991), la corniste Delphine Gauthier-Guiche, ange ailé sur trapèze déroula de virtuoses cobminaisons du son de l'instrument et de la voix, comme en une Sequenza de Berio saisie d'affolement.
I would like to invite ALL OF YOU for my next show, this SATURDAY June 3rd at 10 PM at Sugar Bar.

Advisors & Experts
"Companies have a huge potential to open their innovation up to the outside world"
What is ecosystem innovation? And what's the difference between "open innovation" and "ecosystem innovation"? In this interview, Prof. Oliver Gassmann from University of St. Gallen, answers questions by Christoph Birkholz, Co-Founder Impact Hub Zurich and Kickstart Co-Lead, in order to illustrate the concept of ecosystem innovation, that lies at the heart of Kickstart.
This interview can be found in our book "Ecosystem Innovation". Free download here.
Christoph Birkholz: Prof. Gassmann, what is ecosystem innovation?
Prof. Oliver Gassmann: An ecosystem consists of a configuration of partners which formed alliances along a customer journey in order to deliver superior or radically new value propositions. Typically the partners bring modular products or services with complementary assets and competencies into the game. Ecosystems bridge today's industry borders. Ecosystem innovations are new configurations of these multi-lateral alliances.
Why is ecosystem innovation important today and in the future?
Let me answer by two perspectives: first, from a technology standpoint, then from a market view.
(1) Due to the technological trends in digitalization, we can observe four effects: dramatically reduced transaction costs, ubiquitous computing and connected products, immense increase of data, and immense improved algorithms. Lower costs, connectivity and intelligence made it possible that superior value propositions have been created by alliances. Now, this is only technology which enables ecosystems.
(2) The real pull for ecosystems comes from customer behaviour: customers are no longer willing to accept fragmented deliveries and high personal transaction costs. The point of sales has been shifted, customer journeys such as home, mobility, travelling, finance embrace more and more value chain activities.
How has ecosystem innovation developed in the past 10-15 years?
Ecosystems have been always around. But due to digitalization, they became more efficient and effective. Data and connectivity are huge drivers for many ecosystems. Most successful ecosystems develop sooner or later towards clear platforms where a dominant player sets the rules of the game. Amazon, which has already between 42 and 49 % of the whole eCommerce business in Europe, is a typical example. The complementary players have been marginalized, while the platform becomes more and more dominant.
Which trends or key topics do you see emerging with regards to ecosystem innovation?
It becomes more important to build emotional ties to the customer and to become more relevant for the customer journey. The set up in ecosystems offers great opportunities for partners to specialize. At the same time, specialization in most industries drives the need towards partnerships with complementary companies.
Which players or concrete cases have you seen with regards to successful ecosystem innovation?
One of the best players is Amazon, but Google is also building up ecosystems. All automotive players want to build up ecosystems in order to stay competitive when more and more value is created with connectivity and data-based services
What are the do's and don'ts for an organization that wants to successfully activate ecosystem innovation
Companies will need strong capabilities in partnering, not just in production and marketing but also in the core of differentiation: innovation will be done more collaboratively. We observed the trend towards open innovation now for nearly 20 years, there is progress there, but most companies still have huge potential to open their innovation up to the outside world.
In future, it will be more difficult to distinguish between competitors and opportunities. Without partnering it will become more difficult to survive. It makes also sense to build up more technological capabilities on all levels in companies, up to the management board. It is all about the business model around the data, how to translate relevant data into a valuable business model. That stays important in ecosystems. On a metalevel, companies need to learn how to balance their interests and relationships. Stakeholder management, which is known for many years, becomes a new and more important role.
Which role, if any, do startups play?
Startups are underestimated in complementing ecosystems. Often startups are built around a knot of the ecosystem in order to be a neutral place for
mature companies to cooperate.

Emily Tabatabai Discusses Google's Agreement with Italian Regulators
Daily Journal | March.02.2015
Orrick privacy attorney Emily Tabatabai recently spoke with Daily Journal regarding Google's precedent-setting agreement to allow Italian regulators to visit its U.S. headquarters under a wide-ranging enforcement order. This could be the beginning of similar requests from foreign regulators relating to the privacy practices of U.S. companies with large user bases in the European Union.
According to Ms. Tabatabai, >the agreement "indicates the Garante's desire to exert influence over the mechanisms Google will adopt to comply with the order." While she noted that this may seem like a burden to Google initially, it could lead to a more productive relationship with regulators in the long term.
Ms. Tabatabai noted European privacy regulators seem to be competing for position as far as who can exercise the most influence over big data companies, pointing out that five countries have already weighed in since Google combined the privacy policies for many of its offerings in 2012. "It will be interesting to see whether the other jurisdictions try to raise the ante further," she concluded.

'Firewatch' To Be Released February 2016 For Windows, Mac, Linux, and PS4
By Liezl Dunuan, Christian Post Contributor | Friday, October 16, 2015
A screen capture of the Firewatch trailer. | YouTube/PlayStation
Wilderness adventure video game "Firewatch" finally gets a release date. It is arriving for Windows, Mac, Linux and the PlayStation 4 on February 9, 2016, according to a report in Wired. The first-person adventure game features the Wyoming wilderness and is being developed by independent game developer Campo Santo. As the name suggests, players take on the role of a fire lookout that is stationed in the middle of the wilderness and reports to a supervisor reachable only through a handheld radio.
According to the report, the game comes at a time when the game industry does not offer much when it comes to games that features the great American outdoors or "exploring the frontier" or even "living in a dead-end town." "Firewatch" is a first in this regard. Players get to be the main character, Henry, who is from Colorado. He takes on the job primarily as an escape from his problems in life, and although it may seem like a simple job, it is not. As the game trailer shows, he is poised to encounter a man lurking in the shadows of the forest, who may possibly bring danger and harm.
Another report in PC Advisor gives a further description of the job. The setting is the hot and dry summer of 1989 and the player must keep an eye out for anything that can trigger a forest fire. Different situations however will take the player out of his lookout tower and will force him to explore and investigate his surroundings.
Both reports noted the game's "amazing dialogue," which seems to go to "excellent voice acting" as well as well-thought out dialogue between Henry and his never-seen supervisor Delilah. The Wired report also praised the game for an "arresting visual style," giving the player a good sense that one is hiking alone in the woods.
Development of the game started in 2014 and was supposed to have been released within 2015.

Timeless Seas in Tavira
Dozens of Calouste Gulbenkian Museum works are on display in the Palace Gallery of the Municipal Museum of Tavira from 23 November and 23 February 2020.
António Costa Pinheiro (1932-2015) Os Óculos do Poeta Álvaro de Campos - Heterónimo de Fernando Pessoa, 1980 Óleo s/ tela 80 x 110 cm Museu Calouste Gulbenkian - Coleção Moderna, inv. 83P429
This exhibition has three sections with works mainly from the Modern Collection of the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum but some works from the collection of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian are also on display .
The first – 'Between the earth and the sea (and the sky)' – takes on particular symbolic importance in a region so shaped by travel and the site of diverse cultures and creeds. Here, there are works in which the natural features propose reflections on the world, life and the sacred.
The second exhibition section – 'Mediterranean' –, includes works that symbolically depict the Mediterranean universe reflected through its cities, ports, maritime ambiences, mythological representations of classical antiquity and the monotheist legacies, interpretations of a beautiful and eternal space but also one of great conflict.
The third and final section – and 'The discovery of the world/journey's end' – evokes the memory of the exotic, far distant destinations as well as the unknown forms, ideas and objects to Europeans but that became accessible following the contribution made by the Portuguese explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries. This reveals the new latitudes, landscapes and species encountered in Africa, America and the Far East, exposing the influences and fascinations for the culturally distinct expressions of other peoples. Five centuries later, Tavira, one of the leading Portuguese port cities of that period, again guards and evokes these expressions of far distant influences.

There is an economic theory why Africa lags behind in development, and it is called 'the Brain Drain factor', in this theory it is said that the Western World fishes the best from Africa and take them to the west, offer them fat salaries and other incentives and thus making coming back to their home land impossible.
This seems to be the case with the 'Ghetto kids'; after their "world class" dance with Eddy Kenzo, things became brighter for these poor kids, invites to shows swell, and their prospects totally changed.
Now Rafiki has learnt that, the kids have signed a contract with 'Impact Records in California and one of the clauses categorically states that they have to dwell in American.
Now for Uganda and their fans its bye bye, and another 'Talent drain' if there is anything like that………………………..

Q: How can I run a C++ program on windows that was compiled in Linux? I just compiled a simple "Hello World!" program on Linux. For reference, here it is:
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello World!";
    return 0;
}

This program runs perfectly on Linux. The same code compiled on Windows can be run on Windows as well,  but I can't seem to compile it on Linux with g++ myprog.cpp -o prog.exe and then run it on Windows.
Shouldn't the machine code should be the same on Linux and Windows, because the program is the same?

Top 6 US Cities with the Most Gang Influence
(CU) - Although gangs aren't often talked about in many cities in which they aren't prevalent, in those where the groups run around town and cause violence, they are a real concern. While one dangerous person is something to fear, a group of them is even scarier, with gangs posing a threat to anyone who might cross their path or upset them. With a few towns hoping to decrease gang violence, here are the ones that are having trouble, as they're the U.S. cities overtaken by gangs.
For those outside of the south, Birmingham, Alabama might be perceived as a place with old history and deep roots. Unfortunately, it's still a city divided by racism, rampant poverty and separation of classes, which is evidence by the gang violence and high drug usage. With historic crime rates over the years, Birmingham continues to see itself on lists mentioning the most unsafe cities in the country—which isn't something residents prefer to see.
With the reputation as the heroin capital of the United States, Baltimore, Maryland has proven that the former TV show The Wire wasn't too far off in its plot, as murder and gang-related violence continues to take place. With a crime rate of 65 per 1,000 residents, Baltimore deals with high murder rates, aggravated assaults and armed robberies.
Like others on this list, the southern city of Memphis, Tennessee continues to struggle with racial boundaries and prejudice, causing a separation between many of the residents. One major factor in that has been the influx of gangs in the city, with violent crimes continuing to occur at a record pace. Beale Street might be known for blues music and barbecue, but it can get a bit sketchy when wondering around at night, especially if intoxicated and alone.
While the No. 1 violent crime in Oakland, California is robbery and not murder, the city by the bay is still one bad place for gangs to migrate to. Rather than flock to its more wealthy neighbor, San Francisco, gangs see an opportunity in Oakland to get what they want to thanks, in part, to a depressed economy and high drug usage, making it a magnet for crime.
Home to one of the notorious street gangs in the country, MS-13, Atlanta, Georgia has seen an influx of gang-related violence in recent years. The aforementioned gang has even spread to other parts of the world, leaving an impact that is traced back to the southern state that those in the city want no part of. From robberies, assault and murder, each increased over the past few years, with the cause often being drug-related between gangs.
There's a reason why Detroit, Michigan continues to be ranked among the most dangers cities in the United States, and a lot of it has to do with the prevalent gangs that occupy the city. The economic situation in the city is well-known—Detroit filed for bankruptcy and is still trying to recover—and the violent crime-rate is about five times what the national average in other cities is. With people on the street and gangs roaming, Detroit continues to try and overcome.

Faces of Mennonite Disaster Service in Grand Forks, B.C.
Founded in 1950, Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) is a volunteer network of the North American Mennonite churches that responds to those affected by disasters in Canada and the U.S. In 2018, 5,203 volunteers from across the U.S. and Canada donated 48,041 days of volunteer labour to do 676 jobs at 15 projects in six states and one province worth over $12.6 million. This included repairing 272 homes, building 74 new ones, and 300 clean-ups.
In 2019, MDS is involved in two projects in Canada; Grand Forks, B.C. and Brantford, Ont.
Below are some of the volunteers who were in Grand Forks in early June—the faces of MDS.
MDS Like a Military Operation
For Jan Joyce, serving as a volunteer with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) is like being part of a military operation. And Joyce, 62, should know—she spent 20 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Zachary Bartel wants to be a communicator one day—he wants to tell stories. But first, there are some potatoes to peel for hungry Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) volunteers in Grand Forks, B.C. Bartel, 19, is a second-year student at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) in Winnipeg, studying theology and taking communications courses.
"What Neighbours Do."
Unlike other Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) volunteers who came to Grand Forks, B.C. in early June, Sheila and Mike Davis didn't have to travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometres to be of service. The retired couple live in nearby Trail, just about an hour away from the city.
"Never Thought God Cared About Me."
"I never thought God cared about me, but then MDS showed up." That's what a homeowner in Grand Forks, B.C. told Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) volunteer Eli Klassen. The comment was moving for the 20-year-old Steinbach, Man. Bible College student.
Couple Enjoying "MDS Retirement Plan"
Retirees Susan and Peter Thiessen call it their "Mennonite Disaster Service retirement plan." "Being retired and doing MDS is wonderful," says Peter, 65, who is co-coordinator of the project in Grand Forks, B.C. with Susan, 64.
MDS "Feeds My Soul"
"You'd make a great MDSer." That's what a long-time Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) volunteer told Robert Prinse, a self-employed carpenter from Chilliwack, B.C.
Good to Make a Difference
Brian Marten of Pincher Creek, Alberta, wasn't planning on doing service in Grand Forks, B.C. with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS). But his friend Jim Dyck was going, and he invited him to come along. So he did.
MDS Road Trip!
What do you get when you put four retired in teachers in a pick-up truck and head out to do service with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) A road trip! That's what Peter Bartel, 81, Frank Reimer, 79, Ernie Ewert, 70, and Peter Andres, 74, did in early June.
Hooked on MDS
Roman Heuft went to Williams Lake, B.C. last year to serve for just a week with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS)—it was a way to use his career skills in construction management to help people whose houses were destroyed by wildfires.
From Mexico to MDS
People who serve with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) come from all over North America—and that includes Mexico, too. That's where Dietrich Reimer, 25, and Rosa Quintana, 26 are from.


I have found a serious security vulnerability in Nuxeo. How do I report it privately?
Answer: Take a look at this KB article to set rights on non-folder documents.
Identifiant ou mot de passe invalide ???
If the Administrator can "manage everything", why are MS Word or MS PowerPoint documents always opened in "read-only" mode. How do we change this?
Answer: As most of the time, Nuxeo instances use directories to authenticate the users (LDAP, Active Directory, …), there is no such feature in Nuxeo yet.
Is there an encryption capability in Nuxeo or would it be better to work with filesystem encryption features?
Can Nuxeo create a one time link such that once a file is downloaded the link becomes invalid (or it could be time limited as well perhaps as an alternative solution) ?
Answer: There is no feature implementing this behaviour in Nuxeo at the moment, but the URL service makes it possible to define REST URLs to access data, and implement the related specific logic, see the documentation at http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/hwFu .

Translations of the Qur'án and Introductory Books on the Bahá'í Faith, Recommendations Concerning
by / on behalf of Universal House of Justice
The Research Department has studied the questions on the above-mentioned subjects raised by Mr. ___ in his email message of 8 June 2002 to the Universal House of Justice. We provide the following comments.
Translations of the Qur'án
Mr. ___ explains that he is aware of Shoghi Effendi's statements concerning the positive features of the early English translations of the Qur'án by Rodwell and Sale. He indicates that, since the Sale translation has long been out of print, he has contemplated typing the Sale translation of the text and the accompanying notes to make them available online. Before embarking on such a project, Mr. ___ seeks guidance as to whether the Rodwell and Sale translations may have been superseded by more recent translations of the Qur'án.
The Research Department has not been able to locate any specific guidance of the Universal House of Justice concerning the use of more recent translations of the Qur'án. It is interesting to note that in relation to the use of more recent renderings of the Bible1 the Universal House of Justice, in the letter written on its behalf to a National Spiritual Assembly on 2 December 1987, affirms that "there is nothing in statements made by Shoghi Effendi to indicate that the friends may not use other translations of the Bible", and in response to an inquiry from the National Spiritual Assembly of Australia concerning the permissibility of using other versions of the Bible for readings in the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, the letter written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice stated:
...there do not appear to be any grounds for limiting selected readings from the Bible to the Authorized Version only [and] the decision is left entirely to your discretion. (13 November 1974)
In the light of the guidance from the Universal House of Justice concerning the Bible, and in the absence of specific authoritative statements concerning new translations of the Qur'án, it seems reasonable to assume that individuals are free to exercise their discretion when choosing which translation of the Qur'án to use.
As to translations of the Qur'án, it is the view of the Research Department that there are a number of very good translations, in addition to those done by Sale and Rodwell. To some extent, the choice of a particular translation is dictated by the specific needs and purpose of the reader–some translations have helpful notes, others number each verse, others include both the
1 In the case of the Bible, a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi dated 28 October 1949 states, "Shoghi Effendi himself uses the King James version of the Bible, both because it is an authoritative one and in beautiful English".

Qur'án and Introductory Books on the Bahá'í Faith Page 2
Arabic and English texts, some project the approach of the particular sect of Islám they support, some are literary, etc.
Introductory Books on the Bahá'í Faith
Aware of the Guardian's praise of J. E. Esslemont's "Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era", Mr. ___ enquires whether the Universal House of Justice "would recommend any more recent introductions to the Bahá'í Faith". As suggested by Mr. ___, in the years since Esslemont's book was first published, the range and scope of Bahá'í literature has been greatly enhanced. While "Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era" continues to be an invaluable textbook on the Faith, it is now possible to select Bahá'í literature appropriate to the needs and interests of specific audiences. We provide below the short list of "Introductory Works", prepared by the Bahá'í Office of Public Information, which appears in "The Bahá'í World, 2000-2001":

Grevillea 'Pink Surprise' is a hybrid whose parents are said to be Grevillea whiteana and Grevillea banksii (red form). The original seedling was found in a garden in a Brisbane suburb.
Grevillea 'Pink Surprise' is a tall shrub that has reached a height of four metres with spread exceeding two metres in our garden. The leaves have multiple, narrow lobes, shiny on the upper surface and up to 30 centimetres long.
The large, eye-catching flower spikes are about 15 centimetres long, 5 centimetres wide, pink with long cream styles and attractive to honeyeaters.
Blooms are carried for many months.
Occasional light pruning is appreciated.
Grevillea 'Pink Surprise' is a beautiful shrub with spectacular flowers.
This is one of severalf beautiful hybrid grevilleas whose parents are sub-tropical species. Both hybrids and parents would be frost sensitive and usually not considered for cultivation in frosty, cold climate gardens.
We succeed with Grevillea 'Pink Surprise' and other sub-tropical hybrids and species by growing them close to the northern walls of buildings and surround them with our usual dense shrubberies. Warmth radiated from the buildings and shelter from other plants has allowed these beautiful plants to survive, thrive and bloom bounteously in our garden.
Our Eastern Spinebills enjoy our Grevillea 'Pink Surprise' as much as we do.

After the successful launch of Sixties Iconic Collection in 2015, German watch manufacture Glashütte Original takes its tribute to iconic '60s design to a new level by introducing a special collection of five square chronographs featuring distinctive dials made by the Saxon manufactory's own dialmakers in Pforzheim, Germany. The stunning colours and fascinating dial visuals take up iconic design elements first presented in a range of "Spezimatic" models produced in the 1960s.
In the mid-sixties, Glashütte's watchmakers launched the Spezimatic in a series of versions destined to become lasting icons of style. Popular design elements of the time – the square cushion shape, domed dials, curved hands, idiosyncratic Arabic numerals – inspired the Sixties Iconic Square Collection. Five stunning colours give the models their names: Sixties Iconic Forest, Sixties Iconic Ocean, Sixties Iconic Graphite, Sixties Iconic Tangerine and Sixties Iconic Fire. All are powered by the manufactory automatic Calibre 39-34, featuring characteristic attributes of fine watchmaking in the Glashütte tradition.
The five new models feature exceptional coloured dials crafted in Glashütte Original's own dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany. Made using original tools and authentic methods from the 1960s, they are the result of an extremely complex and time-consuming process. Glashütte Original's expert dial makers pay obsessive attention to each of the labour intensive steps, in particular to the application of coloured lacquers to achieve the precise hues and shading, from light centres to dark perimeters, known as the "dégradé effect" – a lavish finish found on all of the five pieces.
To begin with, the dials are given a galvanic base coat; layers of coloured lacquer are then added by hand in a series of subsequent steps – a shimmering green (Sixties Iconic Forest), deep blue (Sixties Iconic Ocean), dark grey (Sixties Iconic Graphite) or intense, glowing red (Sixties Iconic Fire). In a final step, black lacquer is carefully applied to this ''canvas'' using a special spray gun — this technique produces, depending on the angle at which the gun is held, an individual colour gradient, known as the dégradé effect, which renders each watch unique. The unusual colour of the Tangerine dial results from an additional lacquer colour: The initial galvanic coating in gold is not only combined with a layer of black, but also red lacquer.
The lacquered dials are then fired in an oven to burn in the colours. With four of the five models in the Sixties Iconic Square Collection these uniquely shaded hues are combined with the sophistication of a refined sunburst finish, which enhances the dégradé effect.
The fifth model, the Sixties Iconic Graphite, features an elaborate imprint instead – achieved in a particularly interesting manner. Prior to galvanic nickel plating the dial blank is imprinted, with the help of a 60-tonne press, with the intricate filigree pattern of a guilloche stamp. Known as "dies", stamps such as these, held in the archives of the Glashütte Original dial manufactory, are a further example of extreme authenticity.
The economic and political challenges that the watchmaking industry in Glashütte had to face back in the 1960s, led to remarkably innovative solutions, and exceptional creations such as the "Spezimatic" series of watches whose iconic designs served as a source and inspiration for today's Sixties Collection from Glashütte Original. First Introduced in 1964, a number of Spezimatic models made use of dials manufactured by dedicated dialmakers in Pforzheim (West Germany at the time). The relationship with Pforzheim, which began more than 50 years ago, was reinforced in 2006 with the purchase of the dialmaker by Swatch Group, and strengthened again when Glashütte Original assumed direct ownership. Today, full integration of the dialmaker's expertise allows Glashütte Original to develop exclusive, contemporary dial designs that meet the watchmaker's extremely high standards of quality.
The five models in the Sixties Iconic Square Collection feature the distinctive square cushion shaped stainless steel case, measuring 41.35 x 41.35 mm, and the manufactory automatic Calibre 39-34 chronograph.
All are fitted with a matching Louisiana Alligator leather strap: brown for the models featuring forest green or tangerine coloured dials, black to complement the models with graphite grey, ocean blue or fiery red dials.
Production of the five models in the Sixties Iconic Square Collection is limited to 25 pieces each, available in Glashütte Original Boutiques and selected retailers worldwide.

Le veau fermier du Limousin est une production bouchère française de veau élevé sous la mère certifiée par un Label rouge puis par une IGP. Elle est localisée sur le territoire de plusieurs départements du centre-ouest de la France, autour du Limousin, célèbre pour sa race bovine à laquelle appartiennent les veaux concernés par l'indication géographique.

Historique
Selon divers sites promotionnels, ce serait au début du  que le petit de la vache aurait pris le nom de « veau », qui serait issu de vitellus (jaune d'œuf en latin) puisqu'alors les œufs complétaient les têtées des jeunes bovidés ; en réalité le mot veau dérive du latin vitellus signifiant « petit veau » et date au moins du début du .  La baisse de la qualité, jointe à des adjuvants alimentaires comme les hormones, ce type de production a été décrié pour revenir à des méthodes plus traditionnelles

Le veau

Situation géographique
Les carcasses labellisées IGP doivent provenir de la zone comprenant en totalité les cinq départements de Charente, Corrèze, Creuse, Dordogne et Haute-Vienne, ainsi que des cantons limitrophes des départements voisins que sont l'Allier, le Cantal, le Cher, l'Indre, le Lot, le Puy-de-Dôme et la Vienne.

Cahier des charges
L'indication géographique concerne des carcasses de veaux abattus entre l'âge de 3 et 5 mois, et dont le poids doit être compris entre 85 et 150 kilos.

Si  % des veaux fermiers commercialisés en 2011 sont de race limousine, ils peuvent être issus de croisements d'allaitants limousins et charolais ou limousins et Salers. Ils sont allaités par la mère.

Le veau et son terroir
Le lien au terroir valorisé par l'IGP repose sur deux éléments principaux :
 la carence naturelle du sol en fer, à l'origine de la blancheur de la viande ;
 la réputation historique du cheptel limousin, depuis le .

Production

Pour bénéficier du label rouge et de l'IGP, les veaux sont élevés avec le lait maternel entre 3 mois et 5 mois et demi. Ils se nourrissent deux fois par jour directement au pis de la mère et n'ont n'a pas accès à l'auge. C'est ce type d'élevage qui, seul, permet d'obtenir des veaux avec une viande haut de gamme. Ce type de production, lié à un savoir-faire ancestral, se retrouve sur les trois départements du Limousin, (Corrèze, Haute-Vienne et Creuse), le département de la Dordogne et de la Charente. Dans cette zone d'élevage, c'est la Corrèze qui est le premier département producteur. En 2012, ce sont plus de  veaux qui ont été labellisés.

Commercialisation
Le cahier des charges oblige que pour être labellisé l'abattage des veaux soit réalisé sur place. . Ces carcasses sont distribuées dans « 543 points de vente engagés en contrat sous la marque Blason Prestige en boucheries artisanales et en restaurants et sous la marque Qualité Limousine en GMS. ».

While I love any latke that someone else makes (when I make them, I feel like I'm cleaning the oil splatters for weeks), my favorites are sweet potato latkes.
It has taken me a while to find the perfect latke recipe – I originally tried to make them with only sweet potatoes, but that didn't taste quite right. I tried adding in other veggies, but that also was missing something. Then, I happened on this Food Network latke recipe and was in love.
I like to go a little high brow sometimes and eat these with an aioli (garlic mayo), but any of your traditional toppings will work as well.
Adapted from the Food Network recipe here. Among other things, I doubled their recipe to serve 4.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F to keep latkes warm in between batches.
Grate both potatoes and sweet potatoes into the same bowl, grating down the length of the potato to get long strands. This is truly the key to the whole thing. It's such a genius idea!
Toss the potatoes with the onions to prevent them from discoloring.
Place potato/sweet potato mixture in a clean dish towel (I use the "bar mops" – they are huge and thin, and I got them for $1/package at Walmart) and wring out excess liquid.
Toss mixture with flour, salt, and cayenne. Stir in the egg.
Heat a 1/4-inch oil in a large cast iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat.
Spoon 1/4 cup of mixture into the skillet and flatten with the spatula.
Turn only once and cook until gold brown on both sides.
Place on an oven-safe dish and keep warm in the oven. Food Network recommends placing on a cooling rack to keep them crispier.
I like to serve the latkes sprinkled with chives, alongside a delicate aioli for dipping. But you can definitely eat these however you prefer your latkes – sour cream, apple sauce, etc.
Okay, guys: Now it's your turn! I cannot wait to learn about all the inventive or tried-and-true methods you use for making your favorite latkes. Please share your recipes in the comments section, or feel free to link up to a latke post on your blog if you have one!
When I was living in the UK, a friend and I had an annual fry-up, creating wild and wonderful fried food, from onions rings to battered and fried Mars Bars. This year I've been thinking of healthier alternatives and plan to try to bake, not fry, a parsnip latke. If it turns out well, I will share the link! Thanks for starting to think about chanuka so early, you've put me in a good mood.
So, I get that the point of latkes is to be fried in oil, miracle of oil, etc. But…I like to be healthy. And also, lazy. So my latke "recipe" is pathetic: Buy a box (or several, different flavors, etc) of Manischewitz or other latke mix. Also buy a canister of mashed potatoes flakes. Prepare the latke mix according to the directions, but add in 1/2 c to 1 c of mashed potato flakes per box of latke mix, for extra potato-y flavor (even if it's a sweet potato or vegetable latke mix). Let the mixture set for a lot longer than it says on the box. Like, an hour or two.
Line a baking sheet with a silpat and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Scoop batter by 1/4 cups (or use a serving spoon) onto the prepared baking sheet, and flatten with the back of a spoon or with your fingers. Spray with oil spray, if desired. Bake about 10 min, then flip with a spatula and bake another 5-7 min.
I also get cups of flavored applesauces – berry, mango, whatever I can find. Also sour cream, caviar (my kosher store sells small jars of caviar for like $3.95), etc.
Yes, it's totally cheating and defeats the purpose of fried food. But I feel less guilty eating them!
mara, i'm with you — if someone else makes latkes, i always prefer a less labor intensive gastronomic experience; that said, IF you DO decide to take the oily plunge this year, there are 2 suggestions to make it slightly easier; One, use "simply potatoes" shredded potatoes (with the current coupons and sales, of course) making an easy shortcut to quick latkes (not as tasty as from scratch, but definitely worth a try); Two, line your oven surfaces with foil to protect from splatters and make clean up a snap.

Darwin man's sentence for fatal hit and run condemned

Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social justice commissioner has criticised the sentence handed down to a Darwin hit-and-run driver, and says there appears to be two sets of laws for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Territorians.
Danny Teece-Johnson
NITV News
22 Jul 2015 - 5:31 PM UPDATED 22 Jul 2015 - 6:56 PM
There has been a public outcry over an 18-month suspended sentence and six months of home detention for Matthew Alexander who ran over an 8-year-old boy who later died in hospital in November 2014.
Jack Sultan-Page was hit by a car while riding his BMX bike in Palmerston near Darwin. He was taken to hospital but later died.
The court heard that Mr Alexander appeared to be "heavily affected" by methamphetamine when he left his home. The judge said the role drugs played in the accident was not known because Alexander had fled the scene.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda said he was bewildered by the sentence and could understand the community outrage.
"We look at our mob going to jail for the simple thing of not paying fines, yet someone can be involved in the death of a child and there is no sanction whatsoever," Mr Gooda said.
"And I just find it hard to comprehend and I think that any reasonable person, it doesn't matter where they come from or whether they are Aboriginal or not, would have difficulty in understanding this decision."
"We look at our mob going to jail for the simple thing of not paying fines, yet someone can be involved in the death of a child and there is no sanction whatsoever"
When NITV News asked if there were two sets of laws in the NT, one for Indigenous and another for non-Indigenous peoples, he said: "Well it's hard to get away from making that conclusion when you look at the facts."
"And the facts are that our people are locked up more and more than anyone else up there and they certainly, a lot of those people, I'd say the great majority of those people have not been involved in the death of a child.
"We've had people put in jail for things like these paperless arrests and we've had deaths in custody around that sort of stuff, so not only are people going to jail, they are dying in jail.
"Well it's hard to get away from making that conclusion when you look at the facts"
"I can understand the judge looking at jail as the last option, well I think they should start applying that to Aboriginal people as well."
In his sentencing remarks, Justice Southwood read a statement from Jack Sultan-Page's mother.
"Jack was always thoughtful, he always brought something home for me," she said.
"He was a little man but with a big heart, he would protect other kids from bullies."
A generation lost if Indigenous youth incarceration rate continues: Amnesty
Amnesty International says an entire generation will be lost if Indigenous youth continue to be incarcerated at 24 times the rate than non-Indigenous youth.
Michael Page, the father of a young boy killed in the hit and run said he was devastated and that the system had failed, after the man driving the car avoided a jail sentence.
"[Alexander] hasn't got the full hilt of it. He got a slap on the wrist is what he got."
There is a belief in the Northern Territory Aboriginal community that there are two laws, one for Aboriginal people and one for the rest.
Mick Gooda said Aboriginal people needed to feel that the justice system was fair and equal for all, and that cases such as this eroded that confidence.
Matthew Alexander was given an 18-month suspended sentence and six months in home detention for failing to stop and render assistance to the victim. He was fined $2,090 for possession and the use of drugs, and driving dangerously.

Watch James Gang Pays Tribute To Taylor Hawkins
via Ross McAllister / Youtube
Last March, the music world was shocked by the tragic news that the Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had passed away at the age of 50. Hawkins was reportedly found dead in his hotel room in Bogotá, Colombia. The band was set to perform in the city as part of Foo Fighters' South American tour. Many tribute messages have surfaced on the internet from fans, friends, and colleagues, from icons Liam Gallagher to Paul McCartney.
The tribute for Hawkins did not end on the internet because the surviving Foo Fighters members organized two bumper tribute concerts for their late drummer, one at Los Angeles' Kia Forum and the other at London's Wembley Stadium. Both shows carried a mouth-watering ensemble of rock legends and pop stars, which are mostly close friends and admirers of the late drummer.
One of the most exciting and unforgettable acts on the lineup for both concerts was the newly reformed James Gang. The Ohio-based band broke up after the course of six years of their career. Although the trio has reunited for various isolated reunion shows, their comeback was only confirmed during the VetsAid 2022.
Recalling the previous events prior to VetsAid, the band was asked to play a few tracks at Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts. Since James Gang was one of Hawkins' favorite bands of all time, Walsh and the band took up the opportunity to say goodbye and pay their respects to their late friend and admirer. Walsh said in a statement:
"Taylor Hawkins, his favourite band in the whole world was the James Gang. He told me that many times.
"And when Dave Grohl decided to do some concerts in memory of Taylor, I thought about it and said, 'What if I get the James Gang together to be part of this?' And he thought that was the best idea he'd heard in a long time."
James Gang was one of the star-studded lists of performers. Walsh continued:
"It was a beautiful thing. The greenroom backstage was just full of everybody. A lot of us had known each other for years and years and years, and the whole community got together in remembrance of Taylor."
Watch their tribute performances below.

Book of Mormon Central / Archive / Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States
Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States
Title Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States
Authors Jackson, Kent P.
Journal BYU Studies Quarterly
Keywords Holy Bible; United States History
In his introduction to Bible Culture and Authority in the Early United States, author Seth Perry of Princeton University writes of "a shared set of symbols, types, behaviors, and vocabulary" that derive from or were influenced by the King James Bible (2). The book discusses the interaction of this shared set with early American society, asserting that the Bible and biblical language were resources that individuals in the nineteenth century used to create legitimacy—that is, authority in their relationships with others. Scripturalization is the term Perry employs to describe how people, language, rhetoric, and other aspects of society obtained this authority by drawing from the stories and texts of the Bible.
That the Bible played a major role in the early history of the United States is well known. Margaret Hills documented over fourteen hundred editions of the Bible that were printed in the United States between 1776 and 1850, the vast majority of which were Protestant editions. Perry sees the proliferation of Bibles not only as a reflection of America's unique culture but also, rightly, as a contributor to that culture.

Harmful substances in textiles endanger the health of workers as well as that of buyers. FISCHER offers reliable testing devices that precisely determine the presence in textiles of residues from harmful substances in processing aids or dyes. This makes it possible to tell – quickly and easily –whether articles of clothing comply with the international Oeko-Tex-Standard 100.
In the textile industry, consumer protection plays an important role. Product labels, such as the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, are an important mark of quality and often a decisive purchasing factor. But to qualify for this desirable certification, manufacturers must produce all components of their products according to the required criteria and ensure compliance with the prescribed limits.
When purchasing clothing many consumers look for textiles that have been tested for evidence of harmful substances. The product label "Confidence in Textiles - Tested for harmful substances according to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100" is an independent, globally uniform certification system for textiles of all kinds (more information: www.oeko-tex.com).
To be certified according to the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, all parts of the article must meet the required criteria: for example, in clothing, besides the outer fabric, also sewing threads, zippers, buttons, rivets and other notions and appliqués. For precise analysis of pollutants such as Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni etc., the non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method is ideal. Using this method, it is possible to detect even the smallest concentrations of prohibited or restricted substances in a sample.
The FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDV®-SDD provides an extremely precise measuring system for determining even the slightest traces of banned substances. Fibres and fabrics, whole bobbins of thread or yarn, and even appliqués made of plastic, glass or metal can be checked quickly and easily.
Using the FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDV®-SDD, it is easy to test textiles and related components for minute traces of harmful substances in order to verify compliance with the international Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. For further information please contact your local FISCHER representative.
