San Mateo, Calif. and Research Triangle Park, N.C. — October 25, 2007 — ChannelAdvisor, the leading provider of e-commerce channel management solutions, today announced that it has become a partner of NetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program. ChannelAdvisor has extended NetSuite's One System Architecture with new capabilities to help meet the needs of the top Internet retailers. The SuiteFlex Development allows third party applications to integrate rich transaction data — orders, inventory, invoices and shipments — with their applications, and enable customers and third-party developers to build new workflows and applications that can look and operate as if NetSuite's own developers wrote them.
Because NetSuite holds critical business data of a company — orders, invoices, Web site transactions, shipping records, time tracking and payroll data — the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex provide key tools for managing the company's business. For example, with the ChannelAdvisor Complete platform, inventory data can be pulled from NetSuite and retailers are able to efficiently manage and market their inventory across the top e-commerce marketplaces such as eBay and comparison shopping engines such as Google Product Search. ChannelAdvisor Complete then feeds the orders back to NetSuite for fulfilment.
The ChannelAdvisor Complete platform provides technology and services that enables leading online retailers to improve profits across multiple e-commerce marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon.com and Overstock.com, comparison shopping engines such as Shopping.com, Shopzilla, Nextag and Google Product Search and search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN.
"ChannelAdvisor provides retailers with the best solutions to sell their products on multiple e-commerce marketplaces, comparison shopping engines and search engines," says Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor. "By working with NetSuite, we can provide joint customers reliable real-time connectivity and a robust on-demand fully integrated solution."

Жофре Ловерњ (; Милуз, 30. септембар 1991) француски је кошаркаш. Игра на позицији крилног центра, а тренутно наступа за Асвел.

Каријера
Сениорску каријеру је почео 2009. у екипи Елан Шалона, за који је наступао до 2012. Са њима је освојио шампионат Француске 2012. и два купа 2011. и 2012. године. У новембру 2012. потписао је једномесечни уговор са шпанском Валенсијом. Одиграо је пет утакмица у АЦБ лиги просечно постижући 5,8 поена и 3,8 скока, и две у Еврокупу где је просечно постизао 11 поена и имао 3 скока.

Дана 27. децембра 2012. потписао је двоипогодишњи уговор са Партизаном. Са Партизаном је освојио шампионски прстен јадранске лиге 2013. године, а такође постао и првак Србије 2013. године.
У јануару 2014. после повреде капитена Партизана Драгана Милосављевића, Ловерњ је постао први странац капитен у историји КК Партизан. Са црно-белима је носећи капитенску траку освојио и домаће првенство у сезони 2013/14.

У јуну 2014. године, Ловерњ је потписао двогодишњи уговор са Химкијем. Ипак почетком фебруара 2015. раскида уговор са њима. За руски клуб је одиграо 27 утакмица на којима је бележио просечно 9,4 поена и 4,4 скока по мечу.

Дана 19. фебруара 2015. године, Ловерњ је потписао двогодишњи уговор са Денвер нагетсима. За Денвер је одиграо 83 утакмице (16 као стартер) и бележио просечно 6,7 поена и 4,4 скока за 15,8 минута по утакмици. Крајем августа 2016. мењан је у Оклахома Сити тандер. Није се дуго задржао у Оклахоми па је 23. фебруара 2017. године, последњег дана прелазног рока "трејдован" у Чикаго булсе. У редовима Булса је остао до краја сезоне да би током лета уследила нова промена средине. Ловерњ је 18. јула 2017. године потписао уговор са Сан Антонио спарсима и тако се придружио свом бившем саиграчу из Партизана Давису Бертансу који од лета 2016. наступа за "мамузе". За Сан Антонио је у сезони 2017/18. на 55 одиграних утакмица у регуларном делу сезоне бележио просечно 4,1 поен и 3,1 скок по мечу. Одиграо је и један меч у плејофу на којем је за 6 минута постигао 2 поена.

У јулу 2018. се вратио у европску кошарку и потписао уговор са турским Фенербахчеом. У екипи Фенербахчеа је провео наредне две сезоне у којима је освојио два турска Купа. У јулу 2020. је потписао за Жалгирис. У литванском клубу је провео наредне две сезоне у којима је био једном првак државе и два пута освајач националног Купа.

Репрезентација
Наступао је за све млађе селекције репрезентације Француске. Са репрезентацијом до 20 година освојио је бронзану медаљу на Европском првенству 2011.

Са сениорском репрезентацијом Француске је освојио златну медаљу на Европском првенству 2013. у Словенији и бронзане медаље на Светском првенству 2014. у Шпанији и на Европском првенству 2015. године.

Carlton Reeves, U.S. Department of Energy, said big data is the key.
Someday, a busy city intersection could be void of traffic signals and signs. No one will be directing traffic, either.
Vehicles wirelessly interconnected with one another and with the intersection will communicate back and forth. Cars and trucks will slow down and speed up as needed to glide through what otherwise could be a traffic jam.
With the merger of big data analytics, connectivity, changing driving habits, and bold thinking, vehicle transportation as we know it is changing—and rapidly. Ride sharing, car sharing, electric cars, connected and autonomous vehicles, real-time traffic information, multi-modal transportation solutions, and smart parking are either here or on the horizon.
That was the theme at the Innovations in Transportation Conference, August 16 in Ames. About 200 transportation professionals attended the meeting sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation and the Iowa State University Institute for Transportation (InTrans).
Emerging technologies will make driving safer, more economically efficient, and more environmentally friendly and will increase mobility for more people, speakers explained.
Driverless cars may someday allow a lone occupant to sit back and read a book during the morning commute, relying on a range of high-tech sensing, orienting, and processing systems to keep the car safely on the road to its intended destination. The cars could even park themselves after dropping occupants off at the door.
Keynote speaker Jack Uldrich, left, visits with Neal Hawkins, ISU Institute for Transportation associate director.
Ford Motor Company's Kevin Cooper told conference participants his company is "aggressively pursuing emerging opportunities." Cooper, Ford's Smart Mobility Analytics Manager, said Ford plans to be a leader in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience, and data and analytics.
A major key to the evolution is the availability and analysis of big data. Carlton Reeves of the U.S. Department of Energy said big data and technology are helping to "reimagine how we move people and goods." Reeves, technology-to-market advisor for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, said a U.S. DOT report indicated the amount of global data generated is expected to grow by 40 percent annually.
The Federal Highway Administration is working on the emerging technologies that impact safety, mobility, and the environment, said speaker Taylor Lochrane, a researcher for the FHWA's Office of Operations Research and Development. He said congestion and system inefficiency are reaching critical levels on America's roads.
Lochrane cited three challenging statistics for the FHWA: 32,675 highway deaths in 2014, and 6.9 billion hours of traffic delay and 3.1 billion gallons of wasted fuel (adding 56 billion pounds of additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere) annually.
"Technology convergence will revolutionize transportation dramatically, improving safety and mobility while reducing costs and environmental impacts," he said.
He referenced the U.S. DOT's Smart City Challenge grant, which was awarded to Columbus, Ohio, this year. The goal is to define a "Smart City" that integrates innovative technologies, including connected and self-driving cars and smart sensors, into its transportation system.
"We really have to join with partners we haven't partnered with in the past," said Terri Johnson, who manages government sector projects for the Traffic and Connected Driving division of HERE, a transportation data supplier. She explained transportation's next generation will see collaborations of, for example, car makers, DOTs, cities, insurance companies, data suppliers, manufacturers, university researchers, and software developers.
ISU"s Institute for Transportation administers 15 centers and programs that are leaders in transportation research, outreach, education, and workforce development.

National Union Of Journalists Concerned Over Denis O'Brien Silencing Media
Date: Fri, 2015-05-29 12:00
The National Union Of Journalists (NUJ) has expressed concern over Denis O'Brien silencing of media and the role his control over much of the media plays in the lack of media opposition.
The NUJ are concerned that the media failure to defend Dáil privilege may shatter public trust. Then more cynical amongst us might think that would be a good thing, for too long media outlets in Ireland have been spoon feeding the population with one side of the news in the service of those with wealth and power. O'Brien is at least doing us the 'favour' of making the control those with power over what can and cannot be reported very obvious.
NUJ Irish secretary Séamus Dooley has warned that faith in the media would be shattered if proprietors and editors did not challenge threats to parliamentary democracy and freedom of expression.
"It is gravely concerning that media organisations felt constrained from publishing the comments, made under Dáil privilege, by Deputy Catherine Murphy concerning financial matters relating to Denis O'Brien and his alleged relationship with Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC).
"The fact that the national public service broadcaster was constrained from broadcasting material freely available on the website of the Houses of the Oireachtas, and that other print and broadcasting organisations felt similarly constrained, raises fundamental questions about our parliamentary democracy and the right of the media to report freely on parliamentary proceedings. A courageous stand in defence of the right to report parliamentary proceedings would have served the public interest. Faith in the media's ability to do its job will be shattered if this challenge is not faced head on. This is a defining moment for the media in Ireland.
"In normal circumstances one would expect a united media campaign to defend freedom of expression. I am calling on all media organisations and their representative organisations to seek urgent High Court clarification of the implications of the current injunction secured by Denis O'Brien against RTÉ on the freedom of print, broadcasting and online media to report on parliament. The fact that Denis O'Brien exercises a controlling interest in so many newspapers and radio stations in Ireland limits the possibility of a united front in defence of freedom of expression. That in itself underlines the need for urgent action to limit concentration of media ownership in Ireland."
It's notable however that rather than publishing Catherine Murphy's comments the NUJ like almost all other online sources have chosen the safe path of just linking to the comments on the Oireachtas website. The chilling effect that the fear of O'Brien has had even on online publications is a quite extraordinary measure of the deeply anti-democratic nature of the society we live in.
The mainstream media are part of the problem in that regard, its positive that the NUJ and the better journalists do what they can to resist the reality they find themselves in. But 'he who pays the piper calls the tune' is why Solidarity Times - Free the Media, Be the Media needs to exist.

Submitted on Motions to Reopen the Appeal Pursuant to 3 Cir. LAR Misc. 107.2 and for Leave to Appeal In Forma Pauperis Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 October 25, 2007.
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, (D.C. Civil No. 05-cv-01697), District Judge: Honorable Donetta W. Ambrose.
Imanuel Bassil Ali, Greene SCI, Waynesburg, PA, pro se.
Kemal A. Mericli, Office of Attorney General of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, PA, for Correctional Officer CO. Suchocki, et al.
Before BARRY, CHAGARES AND VAN ANTWERPEN, Circuit Judges.
Appellant Imanuel Bassil Ali filed an in forma pauperis civil rights complaint in United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against numerous defendants, alleging a violation of his constitutional rights in connection with his food and right to petition the court to seek redress of grievances. After Ali's deposition was taken, the defendants moved for summary judgment, contending, in pertinent part, that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing suit with respect to all but two of his grievances, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), and those that he did exhaust did not rise to the level of constitutional violations. The Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation, addressing that motion, and Ali filed Objections to it. In an order entered on November 27, 2006, the District Court granted summary judgment to the defendants.
The District Court denied as moot Ali's post-judgment motion to voluntarily dismiss some of the defendants from the action.
Ali appealed, but his appeal was procedurally terminated by our Clerk for failure to pay the appellate fees. He has submitted motions to reopen the appeal pursuant to 3rd Cir. LAR Misc. 107.2 and for leave to appeal in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, which we will grant.
We will dismiss the appeal as frivolous. An appellant may prosecute his appeal without prepayment of the fees, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), but the in forma pauperis statute provides that the Court shall dismiss the appeal at any time if the Court determines that it is frivolous, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). An appeal is frivolous when it lacks an arguable basis either in law or fact. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989). Our review of the District Court's grant of summary judgment is plenary and we must affirm summary judgment if there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). We conclude that there is no arguable basis in fact or law for disagreeing with the District Court's summary judgment determination. Neitzke, 490 U.S. at 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827; Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 322-23, 106 S.Ct. 2548.
A prisoner must exhaust administrative remedies pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) prior to bringing suit. See Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 121 S.Ct. 1819, 149 L.Ed.2d 958 (2001). As explained by the Magistrate Judge in a Report and Recommendation adopted by the District Court, Ali is barred from relief because of the procedural defaults he committed during the grievance process with respect to all but two of his grievances, see Spruill v. Gillis, 372 F.3d 218, 230 (3d Cir. 2004) (Prison Litigation Reform Act contains a procedural default component). In his deposition he could not recall completing the three levels of review, see DC-ADM-804, except as to grievance nos. 121278 and 115857. The defendants established by the affidavit of Kristen Reisinger that the only fully exhausted grievances are nos. 121278 and 115857.
Although many of Ali's grievances were rejected prior to the final appeal stage on the ground that he would not use the name that appears on his judgment of commitment, Emanuel Lester, we agree with the Magistrate Judge that the grievance process was not thereby rendered unavailable to him. We held in Ali v. Horn, C.A. No. 98-7214, that prison officials could, consistent with the First Amendment, require Ali to use the name on his judgment of commitment.
Turning to the constitutional merit of these grievances, Ali claimed in one that his package of pop tarts had been opened, which indicated to him that someone had tampered with his food. He contended in the other that, after eating allegedly tainted food on June 6, 2005, he developed a headache and nausea. In order to state a constitutional claim of cruel and unusual punishment, a plaintiff's complaint must satisfy both the objective and subjective requirements for an Eighth Amendment action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 298-99, 111 S.Ct. 2321, 115 L.Ed.2d 271 (1991). Preliminarily, a plaintiff must show that the deprivation was sufficiently serious. Id. at 298, 111 S.Ct. 2321. The incidents about which Ali complained do not rise to this level. There is no evidentiary support for Ali's assertion of adulterated food and thus no reason for a trial. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 249-50, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). The allegation that the food tampering was in retaliation for his previous litigation in 2002 also has no evidentiary support, id.; see also Rauser v. Horn, 241 F.3d 330, 333 (3d Cir. 2001).
This grievance was rejected as frivolous. The grievance officer who investigated the complaint reasoned that, because Ali did not immediately complain about his tray as he usually did when something was genuinely wrong, it was likely that the complaint was a ploy to obtain extra food, something Ali had tried on other occasions.
Because Ali's claims have no constitutional significance, we need not reach the question of whether the doctrines of respondeat superior and/or qualified immunity shield the defendants from this action.
We will grant the motions to reopen the appeal and for leave to appeal in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). The Clerk is directed to do an assessment order under section 1915(b).

People often say very nice things about my services and I'm proud to be carrying a 5* rating on both Facebook and Google (at the moment!). Here are a few reviews that people have left. I you want to read more, you can read a wide variety on my Facebook page.
"A trail ultra has been on my bucket list for a few years, so decided to sign up for the Race to the Stones 100km. Having only ever run as far as 21km on roads, I knew I was going to need some professional help. I wanted someone who had 'been there done that' on the ultra scene so I could not only get an appropriate training plan, but also lots of help with the hundreds of questions I had about ultras too. Matt from Running Adventures ticked all those boxes for me, coming with a wealth of experience under his belt too.
6 months later, not only did I finish my 100km race, but also in a time I could only ever have dreamed of, all thanks to Matt. He's taken me from 21 to 100km in 6 months and taught me so much every step of the way. I know I wouldn't have been able to achieve this without him and will be ever grateful for his advice, motivation and training and for making my first ultra such a success!
"New to trail running this was a brilliant experience. Fantastic routes, perfect accommodation, the pool helped to ease the legs and tasty food! Matt really accommodated for all abilities throughout the weekend! Can't wait to be back on the trails! Thank you"
"As an elite marathon runner I always thought 26.2 miles was the ultimate challenge. Matt showed me that a new world opens up when you take that extra step. Through his advice on nutrition, pacing and mental preparation I gained the confidence to approach ultra distances that previously I had deemed the realm of the madman. I took on a 50 mile overnight run and finished in 10 hours. Now I want to do more!
Matt gave me the practicality to take on the insanity. I urge you to do the same."
Ben Evans - 2:37 marathon runner who decided to try his hand at ultra running.
"I had always wanted to do an ultra marathon but just didn't know where to start. With Matt's help and guidance I stuck to a great training programme and not only did I complete the Race to the Stones 62miles ultra but I got the time I was hoping for – 12hours 11minutes. Matt has the knowledge and experience and I would always rely on him for advice."
"Matt coached me on my final big run before Race To The King Ultra. He planned a stunning route along the North Downs Way which was all trail and it was lovely to turn up to explore new trails without having to think about the route. I found Matt to be extremely knowledgeable, supportive and great company to run with. He immediately puts you at your ease and adapts everything according to your goals and needs. It was a great confidence boost running my last 24 mile run with Matt and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sound and experienced running coach. Thank you Matt!"
"I approached Matt in January 2017 having been recommended by a local friend as I'd had a wobble with my "Google" training plan for my first 50 mile Ultra (April 8th 2017 - SDW 50 miles).
Matt was able to quickly work a plan for me that fit around my existing life and work commitments, get me fit and ready to tackle the distance and inclines of the South Downs Way in less than 9 weeks!
Hydration, food, mental preparation and race strategy all came together under Matts guidance which got me to a superb time (beat my expected by almost 1.5hrs) and 117 / 363 with a strong finish!
Matt was always on hand to answer questions and help me through some of the tough times. I can highly recommend Matt for his coaching skills, time and knowledge. Results prove it - thank you Matt!!"
Paul Reynolds - Completed the South Downs Way 50 and is now training for the Marathon Des Sables.
"Matt coached me from running 6 miles max to running my first ever marathon (a trail marathon in Nepal). He understands that work and family have to come first and is excellent at flexing a training programme around you. He's also very friendly and relaxed so it's easy to ask him plenty of 'silly' questions and get you get loads of support."
"As a recreational runner who wanted to dabble in the world of ultra marathons, I knew I needed some expert advice from an experienced coach. Matt Buck is a tremendous coach, full of enthusiasm for running, racing and coaching. in 2013, Matt coached me to my first full ironman finish. He focused on strengthening my legs for running off the bike and I was delighted to completed the marathon in 4 hours (after having been on the bike for 7.5 hours).
Having Matt's personalised coaching and training plan tailored to my specific needs made all the difference. He actually joined me on my first Ultra marathon which I really appreciated, obviously running is his life so I got the feeling that he enjoyed every moment of helping me. Thanks again Mr Buck!"
Tom Langdown - Went from marathon runner to ironman and ultra runner in just 12 months.

You need to be a member of Topbar hive users. to add comments!
Jeannie, It's hard to tell for sure without seeing the hive, but that sounds like a pretty typical mite kill. The winter bees are sick and have a shortened lifespan and don't make it until spring. Did you do an alcohol wash or sugar shake to get an accurate mite count? If you are just looking for mites visually, you rarely see them until you have a pretty sever infestation. Take a look at the tops of the brood cells, you will probably see white crystals. That's mite feces and is a sure sign of a mite kill.
Sadly, I cleaned out my hive this morning. I suspected the girls had died or absconded so my disappointed wasn't huge. Late summer I had to requeen. The new queen was laying a great brood pattern. When I winterized the hive, the population had increased and their temperament was gentle and busy.
On inspection today, I found maybe 200-300 dead bees. Most on the floor - a few clustered with heads into the cell. Pounds of honey, nectar and colorful pollen in the combs. No sign of brood cells. No glaring signs of mites or other pests. A very tidy hive. Some of the capped honey near the center entrance is darker then the combs toward the ends.
This is my first colony of bees.
The hive is at 7,000 ft.
I'm not certain what conditions I should attribute the low bee count or what my next steps should be. I would like to start another colony, but don't want to repeat my mistakes.
Your ideas will be appreciated.
My bees did not over winter and I am looking for a swarm. I used to be on the swarm list but somehow i am not on it anymore. I would really like to get a new swarm soon. I have been keeping my eye out but have not seen many bees at all!! Please let me know if you see a swarm or have one you are willing to give me.
I would either leave it alone or move it closer to the rest of the combs.
During a hive inspection today I discovered the gals have built a full size comb on the last follower board. Do I take that off and harvest the honey or leave it on?
I am interested in purchasing a T.J. Carr /Jason Fink topbar hive. If you have one you would like to sell please contact me. Thanks.
Need a queen and some brood for a queenless hive. Thanks in advance to anyone who has advice for me.
thank you Jeremy. I will report back on how it is going.
That would probably be fine. Make sure it is a frame with eggs or less then 2 day old larva. If the queen is gone they can make a new one, if she isn't it will just give them a boost in numbers.
hello. I received a new topbar hive this year, and some carniolan bees in April. I was pretty much leaving them alone after making sure their queen had been released. something seemed amiss this week and I went into the hive, and I think the queen was lost, I don't see any brood.. (not skilled in ID'ing the queen by sight either) I have another top bar with Italian bees, doing well,... so I was wondering what would happen if I put some brood comb from the Italian bees into the hive with the carniolan bees? anyone know??

Joshua & Maria - Center for Loss in Multiple Birth (CLIMB), Inc.
After four months of trying, we found out I was pregnant on January 4, 1997. The morning sickness and general tiredness was much longer than my previous pregnancy, but things were going well. It was at our routine sonogram, 19 weeks and 1 day, that we found out we were having twins. That was April 19, 1997. The technician looked at the display and said 'There's two in here!' It was a wonderful shock. Paul's first reaction was to make sure everything was fine with both babies, then he relaxed. We were both ecstatic and had a lot of fun telling our family the news. One boy, Joshua Matthew, and one girl, Maria Nicole.
At 27 weeks I started to have contractions, so my doctor limited my activity. I was no longer allowed out of the house. Approximately 5 days later I was in the hospital with more contractions and had started to dilate. This prompted bed rest, medication to stop the contractions, and uterine monitoring four times a day. My mother came up from California to help us out with our 1-year-old son, Tony. It was going to be a long 8 weeks, but only a minor inconvenience to make sure my babies were born healthy. I kept having contractions and continued to dilate. But we hit the 35-week mark and I was taken off the bed rest, medicine and monitoring. At that point I was 3 cm. dilated and was sure that the babies would be coming at any time. The next night I went into labor but after about 6 hours it stopped. I was at the hospital a couple more times with false labor and the babies were still doing just fine.
My doctor and I decided that if I was still pregnant at 38 weeks then I would be induced. It was scheduled for Wednesday, August 27, 1997. That Monday my doctor appointment went just fine and I waited anxiously. We went in to the hospital on Wednesday around 12:30 p.m., fully expecting to be bringing two beautiful babies home with us. My doctor broke my water, where Joshua was, and the nurses hooked me up to the fetal monitor. They could find Maria's heartbeat just fine, but were having trouble finding Joshua's. They brought in an old ultrasound machine, which was kept on the floor, to help locate where his heart was and thought they found it. Still the fetal monitor wasn't picking up a heartbeat. They then hooked up a sensor to his head and the readings were jumping all over the place. My doctor had the nurse get a newer ultrasound machine from the radiology department to help us out. I was sure that I had felt Joshua move that morning, so I was sure that this was just a problem with the equipment. My husband was standing back behind the doctor looking at the image from the ultrasound. It wasn't until I saw the look on his face that I knew something was wrong. Then my doctor looked at me and told me there was no heartbeat. I never thought I could feel that much pain. To make sure that Maria was delivered safely and quickly, I was given a spinal and then rushed in for an emergency c-section. I knew when they delivered Joshua because someone said, '2:48' and then it was quiet. Maria came a minute later, her cry being the most wonderful thing I have ever heard and also the most painful. Joshua was 6 lb. 13 oz and 19+ inches long. Maria was 5 lb. 11 oz. and 17+ inches long.
That Saturday we had a memorial service for him and he was buried in the Garden of Angels. The amount of support we got from our family and friends was amazing, you'd think they all knew Joshua personally.
Well, now we are concentrating on trying to keep things good for Tony and Maria. We got through the holidays and I am very glad they are over. We did decide that since Joshua actually died on the 26th of August, we would remember him on that day, and the 27th would be to celebrate Maria's birth. I guess we'll just have to take things as they come. Garth Brooks sings a song called 'The Dance'. It is about a relationship that ended painfully, but they did have a beautiful dance together. He sings that if he had known it would have ended badly he could have done things differently and avoided all the pain. He thinks things are better left to chance because he wouldn't have wanted to miss the dance, regardless of the pain. The song reminds me of Joshua and I think of my pregnancy as our dance together. It was a very special time we had together where we did get to know him and be with him. I am very thankful for that.

Roe sent Clara Bull to the Salvation Army Home in 1902 he told her it was a 'chance to be a better woman'.

Like her father, Trinity attended Lafayette High School, where she was a promising track competitor.
"Our hearts are broken," the school district said in a statement.
Gay, 34, who was born in Lexington, won three gold medals at the World Championships in 2007 in Osaka, Japan, taking titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4x100m relay. He set the U.S. record in the 100-meter sprint two years later.
Gay, who made his Olympic debut in 2008, won a silver medal with the 4x100 meters relay team at the 2012 Games in London. But he lost the medal after testing positive for a banned substance in 2013.
He has since competed in multiple Summer Olympics, most recently in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In an interview with the sports editor of NBC-affiliate Lex 18 television early on Monday, Gay appeared to be in shock.
"She didn't make it. I'm so confused," Gay said. "She was just here last week for fall break. It's so crazy."

I never take things for granted in this world and will always be grateful for your Kindness, Advice and Guidance.
Hey Darlene, I just wanted to thank you and Lloyd for all your hard work and dilligence in helping us to finally close on the house! We are so excited to finally be the proud homeowners and settled in. If you are ever in the area and want to stop in just give us a call! Thanks again so much!

Darlene & Lloyd, Thank you so much for showing Matt & I around. You have a great feel for the area & you showed us some great homes. I will be in touch.
Fran and I cannot thank you and Lloyd enough for your professionalism and the amount time and effort you spent introducing us to Lake Norman; I/we have an excellent feel for it. Despite the other house being perfect, I/we would probable choose a house in the Harbour or The Point because, as you know, I want to be surrounded by only upscale homes.
Thank you, Darlene. We enjoyed working with you and Lloyd and will refer any friends to you who may be purchasing homes in the future. Thank you again and speak to you soon.
We arrived into Houston late last night. You both had so much great info to share with us. Thank you sooooo much! You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"We have been working with Lloyd and Darlene Radeschi for the past 6 months to help us find our first home together. They have been wonderful to work with! They are both extremely knowledgeable about the Lake Norman area and real estate in general. Eventhough we are "picky" and haven't been able to decide on a house as of yet, we can count on them daily to send us new listings in the areas we are interested in. They always go the extra mile and make themselves available, which makes it easy and convenient with our hecktic schedules to view houses we want to see. They are more than willing to help us get the job done and we highly recommend them to future clients!"
Lloyd and Darlene have been amazingly attentive and professional. Although we have no immediate plans to relocate, they have been providing us with listings for several years and when we actually visited the Lake Norman area, they gave us an informative tour of homes for sale and area towns. If we do decide on Lake Norman in the future, Lloyd and Darlene will definitely be our agents.
Darlene and Lloyd have been marvelous since the first day. They helped us with everything we needed and even exceeded our expectations. We just recently moved here from Europe and it was a great relief to have them by our side because they did more than just help us. They showed us the area, since everything was new to us, and they gave us the best advice. We could have not met better people than them. Even from across the ocean they provided us with the best service possible. They kept us up-to-date with the progress of our house right until we set foot here in America. We highly recommend them to anybody who is looking to purchase a home in the Lake Norman area.
Darlene and Lloyd Radeschi are fantastic to work with! I have know them both for 40 years. When we got an offer on our house in NY and wanted a three week closing, I called Darlene, said we were on our way and they got busy in our price point and offered their home to us for the week while we searched for our home. Belive it or not, we closed in NY in three weeks and closed here two days later. That was fast! I reccommed them highly!!
Darlene and Lloyd Radeschi have been working with us for the last year to assist us in finding our retirement dream home in the Lake Norman area. Here we sit, in cold, blustery, snowy Ohio warmly perusing our weekly property report from Darlene and Lloyd. They respond immediately to our questions, requests for more information, or changes in our desires. Though we're a couple of years away from retirement, they treat us as valuable clients and don't hesitate to spend time assisting us. We're sure we will find exactly what we hope for at the appropriate time frame with their help! Can't wait!!!
Lloyd & Darlene exceeded our expectations~ Living in New York and trying to find and purchase the right home in Denver NC is not an easy task, however with Lloyd and Darlene's expertise and great people skills, made it happen! We had full trust in working remotely with them and taking their advice. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to purchase property/home.
Lloyd and Darlene Radeschi have gone out of their way to help us, and have done a great job showing us a huge number of homes in a short period of time!
Thanks ever so much for your time and sharing with me the most beautiful and life giving community that is Cornelius and the surrounding areas. I am uplifted and very hopeful now to have found the place , the people & the church that will be part of my life. I am so appreciative to you both. Thanks again and many blessings!
We are so appreciative of the time that you took in showing us the Lake Norman area. It truly is a beautiful site. The following days we drove all around the city & visited with our friends, who do live in a picturesque part of town. On our way home we visited the suburbs surrounding Raleigh. We decided that, if we retire in North Carolina we will live in Charlotte verses Cary/Raleigh. You can bet you've certainly influenced our decision. We still have some time before we commit, but we know that we can contact you once we've made that choice. Again thank you for all the time you've spent with us. We've truly enjoyed your company.
Thank you for all the time you spent with me an my family showing us around North Carolina. We already love it here!
A simple thank you may not be enough to express our gratitude and show how much we appreciate you patience and professionalism over the past few years. We are very grateful to you both for everything and expect a great many years enjoying our Lake Norman Home.
Thank you both for all you've done for us. It was a great pleasure working with you!
Lloyd & Darlene, Thank you so much for all your hard work and kindness in helping us find the perfect lake condo for our family. We are looking forward to many happy time at Lake Norman. We will be in touch if we have any future needs in real estate!
We drew a great "pair" You guys are terrific..... Thanks for everything!
Been around a ton of people in life. Never around any quite like you two. Its been a pleasure getting to know you both. You've made us feel like the Lake Norman are is already "home". Our house is great. Can not thank you both enough for going above and beyond. Warmest thanks from both of us.


Posted: Tue May 02, 2017 6:33 pm Post subject: Beginner's problem - what to do?
I need advice from someone more experienced.
I bought two families of bees each on 6 12-10 frames. On the advice of a friendly beekeeper with TBH I installed the frames in my TBH hives in the lengthwise direction - making sure to maintain the same ordering.
I gave each hive an additional 3 bars across (in the usual direction) for the colony to expand.
However, we are at the moment experiencing strong winds, and one hive is not completely sealed.
Due to the way the frames are hanging in the "wrong" direction, the top of the hive is not completely closed off. I feel that this is somewhat of a problem.
Please advise! Should I try to seal it up with cardboard over the frames and bars or is my best chance to shake off the bees, and hope that they will build afresh?
Finding someone to help you with the chop and crop will make the whole process go a lot smoother and faster and whilst it is better done sooner than later, waiting for a warm fine still day to carry it out is best. In the mean time, place some insulating material over the bars to stop the wind blowing in if there is a large gap.
I will follow your advice. I have already ordered a queen clip and secured the hive against the wind.
In the meantime, I'll be devouring every youtube video on the subject and re-reading everything I can find.
The bait box had been placed near my hive for a few days and allowed to come and go about their business.
Matey chose one comb which he thought would work the best which was wired onto a top bar plus all the bees from the bait box and framed foundation (shaken in) matey kept the remaining frames minus any bees.
I restricted their movement to half the hive (mine has centre holes in the sloping sides) with a follower board and added prepared triangular profile top bars either side of the comb and a syrup feeder (not the one I designed in my thread) with a little syrup now and then.
Very quickly they accepted their new home and have been very busy bees ever since.
I gave them a little fondant now and then over the winter.
I don't interfere with them very often by choice only adding extra bars and the hive is now ¾ full.
They have been a little naughty by cross combing but as it's their home, I'm not unduly concerned and my camper is slowly changing colour because it is in their flight path (toilet joke).
Yesterday there was a swarm in my garden only the 2nd I have ever seen anywhere and expect it was from my hive, but I didn't see it happen. They are now in mateys National bait box settling in with framed comb waiting to go to a new home in a couple of days time.
Here is a link to my thread on biobees there is a photo of a type of rescue bar on there.
Posted: Fri May 05, 2017 7:44 pm Post subject: What to do with the queen?
Tomorrow's the big day, and I have prepared as best as I can by watching several youtube videos, re-reading Phil's chapter and generally scouring the Internet for information.
Today I received the queen clip in the mail, and while I have watched a few very instructive videos on how to catch the queen, none tell me what to do with her after she is caught!
Now, I already installed the frames in my TBH, so I'll begin by looking them over to find and catch the queen, and then what? I will need to put her somewhere, but seeing as I cannot immediately replace the converted frames in the TBH, where do I then put her?
Should I simply put the clip on top of the top bars?
I didn't capture the queen, but because the length of the hive will be filled with bars and a roof over the whole hive then the clip will need to be below the bars maybe suspended I would have thought.
Good luck. I hope it all goes smoothly for you and there isn't too much brace comb to deal with..... the bees may have been busy building comb in the gaps since you installed them in that perpendicular arrangement. Have you done an inspection since then? Don't be frightened to put the lid on and walk away if things are not as you expected or not going to plan, have a cup of tea, rethink it and then go back. Better to be composed and have a plan than do stuff in a panic. Planning and preparation is key and it sounds like you have done plenty of that but they can still surprise you with something you hadn't considered.
I hope you have someone to help you as it really is so much easier with two pairs of hands and two sets of eyes and particularly two minds to bounce ideas off.
Please update us with how it goes and if you can find someone to take photos of the process, I'm sure that would be really helpful for others who have to tackle this task in the future.
I had good help from my husband, and we had a clear plan going in.
And luckily, it all went pretty much according to our plan.
We only managed to do the one hive today, and will do the other one tomorrow.
The queen clip was then suspended from a top bar with thin wire. That worked really well.
Then on to the cutting and cropping. We started with the least busy comb, thinking it was best not to p1ss them too much off right away.
We first cut through the wires at the bottom of the frame. Then we made one cut to one side of the frame, and could then simply fold the bottom and sides up and away.
We had made templates of the hive shape for cutting the comb as the follower boards were already in use. However, the hive we worked on is so deep and wide that we hardly needed to cut away any comb.
Last step was fastening the remaining top bar of the frame to a top bar. We did so with wire, and it works really well.
So we worked through comb after comb in this way, taking the least busy combs first and keeping track of their order.
Once the frames were converted, we placed them in the hive, moving the follower board behind them.
When all frames were done, they were placed roughly in the center of the hive with 4 empty top bars and closed in by the follower boards.
The queen could then be reintroduced to comb, and we gently shook off the cluster of bees sitting on the clip, and let her walk onto a comb.
Since the weather has been quite terrible the last week and the forecasts say bad weather again with temperatures ranging below 10 degrees Celsius by day and around 0 degrees at night, we also added a feeder at the bottom of the hive (the DIY milk carton, walk-on bridge).
Then we closed it up and walked away.
The bees acted overall calm. Of course being shook off the frame made them somewhat agitated, but we then gave them a puff of water with peppermint oil.
We took forever about it (just about 1 hour), and I'm hoping that we will be able to work a little faster tomorrow. But again, finding the queen and indeed [/i]catching[/i] her is tricky.
Well done you and your able assistant! I can understand the feeling of euphoria. I hope it all goes to plan tomorrow and you feel equally ecstatic. It is surprising how well the bees tolerate such apparent disruption and I know many people shy away from doing it because they fear it will cause the bees major problems, but it's amazing how quickly they recover.
I look forward to reading your report on the second hive tomorrow and will be keeping my fingers crossed that it also goes smoothly.
So, day two of the conversion went almost equally well. We managed to find the queen quite easily as she was marked - what a relief!
Trapping her also went a little smoother.
This familiy is stronger than the other one, and the bees were more vigilant than yesterday. They also had quite a lot of honey stored already and lot were being brought in! Most likely due to fantastic summery weather this weekend.
We managed to capture some video, but I don't know if I can post that here.
I didn't see any queen cells in any of the hives, so I'm hoping they have accepted their new homes and will forgive their keeper for being a clumsy beginner.
I will post one or more pics tomorrow.
Thanks for all your help and support. It has been invaluable!
So pleased it went well apart from the one comb collapse but I think your husband deserves a little reward for his help, so maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. I hope you both enjoy it.
As regards photos and/or video, I believe they need to be hosted on another site like Flicker or You Tube and then a link posted here. I hope you are able to do that as I would love to see whatever footage you got.
I hope your bees are now able to thrive in relative peace. Your work this weekend will definitely make inspections easier for you in the future and also enable the bees to expand their brood nest more effectively now that all the combs are going in the same direction.
Once again, well done to you both.
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 12:01 pm Post subject: Re: Beginner's problem - what to do?
it´s me doing swap from classical hive to TBH. Everything went smothlie and bees were fine afterwards.
Wow! Looks good! We did the same conversion and the bees are fine.
Looks like a really nice farm you have there. I don't understand much Polish(?), so is it farm project or is it a family business?
well....it´s Slovak language nevermind, our languages are very similar. It was meant as farm project but unsuccesful.
I'm sorry to hear that. Oldschool farming is basically just a lot of hard work for little or no money, so getting a manual-labour farm running and turning a profit is difficult.
I agree about the Q in her clip.
When I did some transfers from frames to tbh I found it worked best with a large colony (double brood) to just hang the Q in her cage about half way down beside a divider board or hive end giving her as much shade as you can and shake the bees off the frames into the bottom of the tbh as you go.
Put some bars over the top too whilst you are working to create as much shade as you can over her.
They cluster in the bottom of the hive and up the board with fewer flyers making it easier to handle the frames whilst chopping.
The tetrapak feeder didn't really work very well. The sugar didn't dissolve properly, though we used ordinary refined white sugar and shook it vigorously.
When opening up the hive again, we found 2 dead bees in the syrup and three well on their way to drowning - along with a great deal of dead ants!
As soon as the readily available sugar was gone, the ants vacated the hive, though.
I need to experiment with the sugar water. Maybe dissolving the sugar first in hot water before pouring it into the tetrapak will work better.

'Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight
Where ignorant armies clash by night'
'… you hear the grating roar / Of pebbles which the waves draw back' … on the shore at Bray, Co Wicklow, this evening (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2016)
If I were to take the temperature of Ireland this evening, I would say the overwhelming majority of us are in a state of shock, if not disbelief, after the result of yesterday's referendum on British membership of the European Union.
Our nearest neighbour and best friend has decided to walk away.
Of course, I accept democracy and I cannot say that the majority of British voters who voted for a Brexit are racists. But when I look at who is happy – Marine Le Pen in France, Gert Wilders in the Netherlands, Donald Trump who is now in Scotland, and smug Nigel Farage in London – I fear the rise of the far right who smugly widen their voter base on the evils of racism and nationalism.
I fear a land border been created between Ireland and the UK, running from Derry to Newry. Imagine replicating the razor-wire border that runs the northern border of Greece, separating it from its non-EU neighbours in the Balkans, and think of the faces of those desperate refugees that Farage abused in his racist poster last week.
The young generation, the future of Britain and the future of Europe has been sacrificed on the altar of political ambition where the high priests are Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson.
Nigel Farage has a German wife who can help him to find safety in the EU if he ever needs to in the future. Boris Johnson is never going to give up his US passport. But the next generation of promising young British citizens will find that these middle aged politicians, in their smug ambitions, have sold their birthright for a mess of pottage.
Europe has guaranteed a minimum wage, health care rights for travelling Europeans, workers' rights, women's rights … the future seems dismal this evening.
New border controls may mean Irish business travellers each having to queue for an extra half hour each morning on landing at Stansted, Heathrow and Birmingham, and repeating the same exercise before they catch the last flight back in the evening.
I fly on one of these routes at least once a month on average. The corridor between Dublin and London is the second busiest international air route, following closely behind the air corridor between Taipei and Hong Kong. Consolidate and quantify these waiting half-hours and we can only imagine how much this exercise alone is going to cost business.
Now why should the French bother spending French taxes on stopping refugees at Calais making their way to Dover. Unwittingly, Farage and Johnson may find they have brought upon themselves the one problem they do not want to face.
I tried to clear my head this evening by taking a walk before dinner along the pebble-strewn shoreline at Bray, Co Wicklow. And I found that in my head I was going over and over again the words of Matthew Arnold's poem Dover Beach first published almost 150 years ago in 1867 in his collection New Poems.
Matthew Arnold was the godson of John Keble, and his father was the headmaster of Rugby.
In Dover Beach, Arnold is on the shore at Dover, facing the Strait of Dover, the narrowest part of the Channel across to Calais. Arnold sees in the retreat of the tide a metaphor for the loss of religious and faith values in Victorian England. But he could be reflecting on the loss of social and political values in England today and the way that this may end in a bloody conflict in which people slay not their feared enemies but their own friends, neighbours and colleagues.
The beach at Dover is bare, with only a hint of humanity in a light that "gleams and is gone." He hears the sound of the sea as "the eternal note of sadness." The Greek tragic playwright Sophocles also heard this sound as he stood on Aegean shores.
The final stanza begins with an appeal to love, then moves on to the famous ending metaphor. This is an allusion to a passage in Thucydides' Peloponnesian War (Book 7, 44), in which he describes a battle at night on a beach in Sicily during the Athenian invasion.
In the battle, the attacking army became disoriented while fighting in the dark and in their fear many of these soldiers inadvertently killed each other.
On this sun-filled evening, I fear so much that in the last 48 hours we have unleashed too many dark forces.

Celebrating ordination anniversaries and
remembering a summer evening in 1971
The John Piper window in the Chapel of Saint John's Hospital, Lichfield (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2016)
Today is the Feast of the Birth of Saint John the Baptist. I was ordained priest 15 years ago on this day [24 June 2001], and ordained deacon 16 years ago tomorrow [25 June 2000].
Last year, it was a particular pleasure to have been invited by the then Master of Saint John's Hospital, Lichfield, Canon Andrew Gorham, to preach at the Festal Eucharist in the Chapel of Saint John's on this day [24 June 2015].
I recalled that evening how my path to ordination began in that chapel when I was a 19-year-old, 45 years ago, back in the summer of 1971.
I was a young, budding freelance journalist at the time, contributing features to the Lichfield Mercury. Late one sunny Thursday afternoon that summer, after a few days traipsing along Wenlock Edge and through Shropshire, I had returned to Lichfield. I was walking from Birmingham Road into the centre of Lichfield.
Frankly, I was more interested in an evening's entertainment when I stumbled in tat chapel out of curiosity. Not because I wanted to see the inside of the chapel, but because I was attracted by the architectural curiosity of the outside of the building facing onto the street.
I still remember lifting the latch, and stepping down into the chapel. It was 13 years before John Piper's window had been installed in 1984. But as I turned towards the lectern, I was filled in one rush with the sensation of the light and the love of God.
This is not a normal experience for a 19-year-old … certainly not for one who was focussing on an active social night later on, or on rugby and cricket in the weekend ahead.
But it is was – still is – a real and gripping moment. I have talked about this as my "self-defining moment in life." It still remains as a lived, living moment.
How was I to respond?
I could go for psychiatric assessment.
I could walk away dismissively, asking: "So what? God loves me, but so what?"
Inside Lichfield Cathedral (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2016)
But my first reaction was to make my way from here down John Street, up Bird Street and Beacon Street and into the Cathedral. There I slipped into the choir stalls, just in time for Choral Evensong.
It was a tranquil and an exhilarating experience, all at once. But as I was leaving, a residentiary canon shook my hand. I think it was Canon John Yates (1925-1980), then the Principal of Lichfield Theological College (1966-1972). He amusingly asked me whether a young man like me had decided to start going back to church because I was thinking of ordination.
All that in one day, in one summer afternoon.
However, I took the scenic route to ordination. I was inspired by the story of Gonville ffrench-Beytagh (1912-1991), which was beginning to unfold at the time. He was then Dean of Saint Mary's, Johannesburg, and facing trial when he opened his doors to black protesters who were being rhino-whipped by South African apartheid police on the steps of his cathedral.
My new-found faith led me to a path of social activism, campaigning on human rights, apartheid, the arms race, and issues of war and peace. Meanwhile, I moved on in journalism, first to the Wexford People and eventually becoming Foreign Desk Editor of The Irish Times.
While I was working as a journalist, I also completed my degrees in theology. In the back of my mind, that startling choice I was confronted with after evensong in Lichfield Cathedral was gnawing away in the back of my mind.
Of course, I was on the scenic route to ordination. A long and scenic route, from the age of 19 to the age of 48 … almost 30 years: I was ordained deacon on 25 June 2000 and priest on 24 June 2001, the Feast of the Birth of Saint John the Baptist.
I return regularly to Lichfield throughout the year – most recently on 5-6 June – and I slip into that chapel quietly when I get off the train. The chapel has remained my spiritual home. I had started coming to Lichfield as a teenager because of family connections with the area. But now I claim it for myself.
The traditions of the chapel subtly grew on me and became my own personal form of Anglicanism; the liturgical traditions of the cathedral nurtured my own liturgical spirituality.
I now know that the evening sun does not fill this chapel with light. That Thursday evening was many years before the John Piper window was installed. But there is no West Window, look around you, this chapel is not filled with evening light, even on summer evenings. Yet that moment is a lived and living moment … not only in my memory but in my every day, all through my life.
