Born into Unitarianism – both parents were lifelong members of Wilton Street Chapel, Denton (now relocated and renamed New Chapel, Denton) so I was christened there.
Met husband, George, at Unitarian Young People's League Drama Festival in Leeds in 1968 and were married at Wilton Street Denton in 1971.
Qualified as nurse (SRN) in 1971 and Occupational Health Nurse Advisor (OHNC) in 1990 and worked for several large companies up to 2001, when I switched careers to become co-owner of a cleaning franchise.
Now live in Whitworth with George, having built our own house – yes, actually built it!
Very tiring but really satisfying. Hence, I enjoy watching housebuilding and renovating programmes for inspiration.
Came to Bury Unitarian Church about 1977 with the first of two daughters, until work and family interrupted attendance.
On returning to the Church after approximately 30 years, it was like we'd never left – we were made so welcome and were amazed that many people we knew before we left, were still there. Do Unitarians have staying power?
I am an insufferable pedant when it comes to grammar, punctuation and English language – ask George!! I would have liked to have been a proofreader.

CPA Marketing Business Finally Began!
You may think procrastination is not hurting your website and your online business, if any.
It actually is. So what you need to do is put an effort in keeping that from happening.
So how do you do that? Well, here are some tips you can do.


Do you love weddings and special events?
Do you love pretty paper?
Does the idea of helping clients capture their event perfectly through their invitations and stationery excite you? Are you able to offer a friendly word of encouragement when all the decisions become too much?
Do you enjoy working as part of a team while still thriving when working solo? Does being a part of something bigger than you give you sense of purpose and excite you? Do you value things like quality and kindness and honesty?
Are you willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in even if it's not in your job description because it needs done? Do you love that no two days look exactly the same?
If you have answered yes to these questions then you could be perfect to join our team.
Raspberry Creative is a small boutique stationery company that puts priority on providing a personal and friendly atmosphere for our clients and partners. Quality is priority from how we communicate with our clients to the products we lovingly create.
We are looking to grow our team, not with a long list of skills or experience, but based on a shared mindset of continuing to grow a company that we can all be proud to be a part of as a team, not a hierarchy of job titles.
Of course having an eye for design and a knowledge of trends is a huge plus. Having some design knowledge, social media and/or email marketing or even WordPress skills are even better, but we know that just about anyone with the right mindset and attitude can learn something new.
We are looking for both in-shop and virtual team members with flexible schedules.

Bible Book Number 19—Psalms
"All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial"
Introduction to Psalms
New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
Inspired Songs That Comfort and Teach
The Bible—What Is Its Message?
Why does the numbering in the book of Psalms differ in various Bible translations?
The first complete Bible to have the chapter and verse divisions is a French translation published by Robert Estienne in 1553. The book of Psalms, however, apparently had divisions long before that, since it was a compilation of individual psalms, or songs, composed by a number of people.
Evidently, Jehovah first directed David to put together a collection of psalms for use in public worship. (1 Chronicles 15:16-24) It is believed that Ezra, a priest and "a skilled copyist," was later responsible for compiling the entire book of Psalms into its final form. (Ezra 7:6) So it follows that the book of Psalms was made up of individual psalms when it was compiled.
In a speech that the apostle Paul gave in the synagogue in Antioch (Pisidia) on his first missionary journey, he quoted from the book of Psalms and said: "Even as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son, I have become your Father this day.'" (Acts 13:33) In Bibles today, those words still appear in the second psalm, Ps 2 verse 7. There are, however, differences in the numbering of many of the psalms in various Bible translations. This is because some translations are based on the Hebrew Masoretic text, whereas others are based on the Greek Septuagint, which is a translation of the Hebrew text completed in the second century B.C.E. For example, the Latin Vulgate, from which came many Catholic Bibles, uses the numeration of the psalms found in the Septuagint, while the New World Translation and others follow that of the Hebrew text.
What are the specific differences? The Hebrew text has a total of 150 psalms. The Septuagint, however, combines Psalms 9 and 10 into one and Psalms 114 and 115 into one. Furthermore, it divides Psalms 116 and 147 each into two psalms. While the total count remains the same, the numbering from Psalm 10 through Psalm 146 in the Septuagint is lower by one than that in the Hebrew text. Thus, the familiar 23rd Psalm 23 appears as Psalm 22 in the Douay Version, which follows the numbering of the Latin Vulgate, which, in turn, follows the Septuagint.
Finally, the verse numbers of some psalms may also differ from one translation to another. Why? This is because some translations adopt "the Jewish practice of reckoning the superscription as the first verse," says McClintock and Strong's Cyclopedia, but others do not. In fact, if the title or superscription is long, it is often counted as two verses, and the number of verses in the psalm increases accordingly.

Ahhhh, dessert! The treat at the end of a meal. An indulgence. Such a wide variety of desserts exist. I love dessert.
Though cakes, pies and cookies are desserts, I am dedicating specific sections to those classificationss. In this section, I am referring to things that are not specifically a pie, or a cake, or a cookie. Here you will find things like cobblers and crisps, puddings & bars.
I am one of those persons who believe a meal is not done until a dessert of some kind is presented. I recall as a child, loving the Spice Bars Dad brought home, or the Oatmeal Date cookies. Ice cream or ice milk in the summer, or watermelon and other fruits. During winter, peaches or other fruits, sweet from a can, and with the added indulgence of evaporated milk added in.
Some may say "eeeww!" to that last bit, but there was always a can of evaporated milk open in our house, growing up. Dad used it in his coffee, so it was always on the table. Mom used diluted evaporated milk to fill baby bottles. There were seven children in our family, and I am the oldest.
Most of the desserts mentioned so far were things store-bought, but Mom made plenty of desserts for us, and even Halloween treats were a production. We made popcorn balls, held together with a sugar syrup boiled to hard crack stage. I loved seeing Mom test it in cold water, and get to eat the ensuing "threads." We bagged a bunch of small treats together in cellophane baggies and actually stood over the ironing board to seal the baggies closed!
I have so many fun memories of all the treats Mom made. Herein are some of my special treats. I hope they cause many wonderful memories for you, too.
a variation on an old classic, no oatmeal in this topping!
simple to make; nothing simple about the taste!
If you like Bread Pudding, this one's for you!
the easiest, best tasting, show-stopping dessert!

China Is Done Biding Its Time: The End of Beijing's Foreign Policy Restraint?
Over the course of the novel coronavirus crisis, analysts have watched relations between the United States and China spiral to a historic nadir, with scant hope of recovery. There are many reasons for the slide, but Beijing, in a striking departure from its own diplomatic track record, has been taking a much harder line than usual on the international stage—so much so, that even the most seasoned observers are wondering whether China's foreign policy has fundamentally changed.
China's approach to the world was, of course, never ironclad. Many factors determine a country's diplomatic strategy, from its history, culture, and geography to the nature of its regime and its relative global power. If a government perceives one or more of these factors to have changed, so, too, may its diplomacy. But as COVID-19 has ravaged the globe, Chinese President Xi Jinping has appeared to defy many of his country's long-held foreign policy principles all at once. It is too early to tell with certainty, but China—imbued with crisis-stoked nationalism, confident in its continued rise, and willing to court far more risk than in the past—may well be in the middle of a foreign policy.

Google brings YouTube Premium and Music to a bunch of new European nations
Stephen Schenck
2019/05/14 3:25pm PDT May 14, 2019
Little by little, Google's been making YouTube Premium and YouTube Music available to more and more users. Sometimes that means making the services available on new devices, or offering discounts to lower the barrier to entry. But a lot of the time, it's just about rolling them out to new countries. So far this year we've seen expansion into India, South Africa, and Latin America, and today that trend continues with a push further into Europe.

Any maps app thrives on accuracy. Incorrect data should be removed, fixed quickly, or at least it should be marked as such. The Google Maps team keeps a list of its coverage details with markers for availability and data quality, and updates it every now and then to reflect the current state of affairs. Since the last change in July, some improvements have been made, but also some countries have had their data markers downgraded.

Google News Adds 7 New Languages: Romanian, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Bulgarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, And Thai
David Ruddock
Google has announced that Google News will soon be available in seven new languages - Romanian, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, and Thai.
The new languages will be available in "the next few days" according to Google. Google claims this will add a potential audience of over 260 million new readers to news, with the native language versions available on the web or the Android and iOS mobile apps.
The Google News & Weather app received a huge version 2.0 release last summer after languishing as a stock Android widget for years, and its popularity has boomed in the meantime, racking up between 100 million and 500 million installs on the Play Store.
Google Play Music Goes Live In Belarus, Bulgaria, Romania, And Ten Other European Countries
You know those orange headphones that come pre-installed on stock Android devices? They pump tracks through a service called Play Music. It's a downright dandy offering, but it's only available in certain countries. As of now, that list has just expanded to include thirteen more.
These new additions are spread predominantly throughout Eastern Europe. Here's what Play Music looks like if you're browsing the web in Bulgaria.
Here's what the Android app looks like in Romania.
But these are only two of the new places added. Here's the full list:

Diheteroarylethenes as thermally stable photoswitchable acceptors in photochromic fluorescence resonance energy transfer (pcFRET)
Jovin, T. M.
Department of Molecular Biology, MPI for biophysical chemistry, Max Planck Society;
Giordano, L., Jovin, T. M., Irie, M., & Jares-Erijman, E. A. (2002). Diheteroarylethenes as thermally stable photoswitchable acceptors in photochromic fluorescence resonance energy transfer (pcFRET). Journal of the American Chemical Society, 124(25), 7481-7489. Retrieved from http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1021/ja016969k.

We have employed diheteroarylethenes as acceptors for photochromic FRET (pcFRET), a technique introduced for the quantitative determination of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In pcFRET, the fluorescent emission of the donor is modulated by cyclical transformations of a photochromic acceptor, Light induces a reversible change in the structure and, concomitantly, in the absorption properties of the acceptor. Only the closed forms of the selected diheteroarylethenes 2a and 2b have an absorption band overlapping the emission band of the donor, 1. The corresponding variation in the overlap integral (and thus critical transfer distance R-o) between the two states provides the means for reversibly switching the process of FRET on and off, allowing direct and repeated evaluation of the relative changes in the donor fluorescence quantum yield. The diheteroarylethenes demonstrate excellent stability in aqueous media, an absence of thermal back reactions, and negligible fatigue. The equilibration of these systems after exposure to near-UV or visible light follows simple monoexponential kinetics. We developed a general conceptual scheme for such coupled photochromic-FRET reactions, allowing quantitative interpretations of the photostationary and kinetic data, from which the quantum yields for the cyclization and cycloreversion reactions of the photochromic acceptor were calculated.


Herzliya, Israel, February 16th, 2010 – Ever imagined a place where all your personal web content is centralized, after being automatically filtered according to your specific topics of interest, including your favorite news, blogs, videos, and even your Twitter and Facebook stream updates?
Genieo is a newspaper styled homepage, designed exclusively for you, and featuring personalized news and information specifically relevant to your interests. Offering a new informational experience for all Internet users, Genieo adapts to your online behavior, saves you time and helps discover items of interest to you, all in a process which requires zero management and in which your information remains completely private.
How does it work? Genieo is a desktop application employing a new technology called Micro-Behavioral-Targeting (MBT), pioneered by Genieo Innovation. MBT continuously studies the user's individual topics of interest from his browsing activity, follows them as they form and evolve, and accordingly forms connections with sources of information across the web which are most relevant to the user's interests. For example, a reader who has been recently following the latest news about baseball player Derek Jeter will be updated not with general sports stories, or all articles concerning baseball, or all news about the New York Yankees, but with news specifically relating to Jeter himself, ranging from news sites, blogs, tweets, and more.
Genieo automatically identifies and continuously adapts to any changes of the user's topics of interest – so that the user doesn't have to manually predefine his topics or set categories.
Additionally, Genieo discovers RSS feeds while the user browses the web, it ranks and then manages these sources, (automatically opting in/out from feeds) based on the individual changing interests.
1.	Top Headlines – Latest headlines from a user's most visited news portals, irrespective of topic.
2.	Hot Items – Topic-focused items, most read by other internet users. Genieo also deliver to the user the most read and popular news articles according to his/her topics of interest, in addition to the items from news portals and blogs he/she most frequently visits.
3.	Follow-up items on news articles the user has previously read, so that he/she doesn't miss any updates on stories he/she cares about.
4.	Up-to-the-minute updates on live events followed by the user (i.e. sports, technology conferences, presidential speeches, award shows, etc).
5.	Interesting Items – Topic focused items of the highest interest to the user, and from his most frequently visited sites.
6.	Facebook and Twitter updates filtered according to the user's most recent topics of interest.
Unlike other personalization solutions, Genieo does not collect any private information. As a desktop application, Genieo's entire mapping and profiling process is performed solely on the user's computer, and for the first time, you can enjoy a personalization engine that does not involve any server side interaction. This way the user's private information remains always with him/her, and none of it is shared in anyway with any third party, or anywhere on the web. Furthermore, Genieo respects secure content and automatically disables itself once the user navigates into secure sites, such as emails boxes or online calendars.
Genieo currently works on Microsoft Windows via Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers, with additional browser integration planned in the future. The application is currently compatible with the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Spanish and Hebrew.

January 22, 2021 by Amy Joseph Landon
Louisville Rites of Passage program to help Black youth become leaders of their communities
Source: The Courier-Journal
By Andre Toran
In the late summer of 2019, Claude Stephens, director of Bernheim's Children at Play Network, walked into the office of Play Cousins Family Network Collective, a family outreach organization in Louisville.
He was there to meet with Play Cousins' executive director Kristen Williams to discuss a possible collaboration. Williams wanted to create a Rites of Passage program for Black youth in the city and wanted to work with him and Stacy Bailey-Ndiaye, executive director of Bridge Kids International.
Rites of Passage is a ritual or experience that marks a major shift or milestone in someone's life, in this case, a transition from childhood into adulthood.
This program aims to provide Louisville's Black youth with space and resources to explore and discover who they are and how to actualize this as they move toward adulthood through connecting them to apprenticeships and honing whatever skills the students possess.
"I think the program itself is necessary because every teen needs to have the opportunity to see themselves as leaders in their community," Williams said. "Where people believe in them and anticipate their greatness and speak to that greatness."
Williams, Bailey-Ndiaye and Stephens said the Rites of Passage idea is an "ancient" concept with deep roots in African culture that is a means of preparing and grooming the next generation for life as an adult.
Without programs like Rites of Passage, children often enter the real world "blind," and can easily become products of their circumstances, they said, failing to see that they can be more than what their surroundings suggest.
The grandidea became reality when The Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence extended a $200,000 grant to the three organizations earlier this year to develop an immersive Rites of Passage program, which will include interactions with nature as part of its youth development.
The specific details and elements of the program, which will launch sometime in 2022, are still in the works, but its core components will focus on character development, self-discovery, understanding history and culture, developing a sense of responsibility for self and community and crafting a healthy support network.
The program will be offered to Black teens in Louisville ages 14-18. The goal is to learn from other Rites of Passage programs and create their own approach based upon the wants, needs and realities of the children they serve in Louisville, Bailey-Ndiaye said, with an emphasis on Black culture.
"Before anything else, it's culturally based," she said. "Because the notion is that there are systems in this society that often prevent young Black people from entering into adulthood."
The three organizations had their first meeting to design the program earlier this month and for the next six months, they will design the specifics of the initiative. They expect to create the program through participatory design by asking teens what they think they needto learn to become a productive adult.
The second phase will feature a six-month pilot program to test the curriculum, followed by the launch of the Rites of Passage program, which they hope will include apprenticeships and tech partnerships, in 2022.
Future tech partnerships do not reduce the role Bernheim will play, however. It's vital that Bernheim provide a space to help reconnect Rites of Passage students with its traditional roots in nature.
"We started talking about the importance of Black children having access to free-play and how that plays into growing up in a racist society. How their actions (within free-play) can be criminalized." Williams said.
So, the questions arose: How could they create spaces — especially those in nature — where Black children can be "free?"
The partnership with Bernheim partially answers this question, and according to Williams, Bernheim's space will help teach those in the program to express themselves and safely take up as much space as they need. She was quick to note, however, that interactions with nature won't just be reserved for spaces in Bernheim.
The organizations want children to take what they learn back to their neighborhoods and communities.
Community change — both physically and culturally — will begin with them, they say.
"We believe that young people are productive, capable of being very important members of the community, " Stephens said. "And mostly what we do is we get in their way — setting situations and systems that damage them.

I have been given a Hobie by my cousin. The only numbers I can find are stamped on the aluminium uprights sticking out of the hull. Th number is S05426. Any idea what this tells me?
Most hull numbers are engraved or stamped on the rear right hull above the drain hole bung, and below the two deck seal points. My '79 is engraved with an engraver. The last two digits are the year model.

WHAT IS WALK 'N' YOGA?
On the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, Wild Guanabana is inviting you to connect with nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Spend your weekend in the great outdoors enjoying a short hike and a relaxing yoga session. Walking, breathing and taking in your surroundings is a powerful way to keep you centred and recharging your energy for the start of the new week.
We will meet at the Wadi Degla Protectorate gate at 9:30 a.m and start the walk together so please make sure you're there on time!
The event is free. All you need to do is pay the entry fee to the protectorate and bring a yoga mat. If you don't have a mat, a kleem mat or any rug you find will do. Please also bring your water for the walk, wear comfortable attire and hiking or running shoes.
Wild Guanabana's signature event to bring the outdoor community together, celebrate nature and the people that work hard to preserve it. Stay tuned for the agenda and date.


We invite you to immerse yourself in the mysteries of the ocean. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is a world-class marine educational attraction nestled on beautiful Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. The Aquarium is a living classroom for all learning styles and ages. As one of Oregon's top tourist attractions, the Aquarium is a vital educational resource for the state, with over 40,000 students visiting the aquarium each year. The Aquarium strives to be a center of excellence for ocean literacy and plays an active role in conservation and animal rehabilitation efforts.
A high quality facility that has great exhibits and is very family friendly, but it always feels small to me, especially for the cost of admission. I've gone several times and finished seeing everything in about two hours. By contrast, in the aquariums in Long Beach, CA, and Camden, NJ, I ran out of time before I did exhibits.
A small but nice aquarium with a focus on local sea life. Would be great for kids.
We spent a couple of hours here. It was nice but we like the Aquarium in Salt Lake better. Being on the coast we expected more.
From shipwrecks and seabirds to seals and jellyfish, this aquarium is all about the wildlife unique to the Oregon Coast and beyond. Don't miss out on their otter exhibit-- it's the cutest thing ever.
For its size its a great aquarium. However If your not really into aquariums it doesn't offer to much more than any other one.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium is home to over 500 species of animals in both indoor and outdoor exhibits (it's also the former home of Keiko, the movie star Orca). Check out the Passages of the Deep, meet sea otters, jellyfish and more!
I don't live in Oregon, but I've been here quite a few times. I have to go every time I'm in Oregon, I love it! It's a really nice, family friendly aquarium.
Be the first to add a review to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

Assistantships & Residency
Your offer of admission to Washington State University and the Department of Chemistry may include financial support in the form of an assistantship valued at approximately $39,000 per year. When you are supported on an assistantship your gross salary will be about ~$2,206.00 per month (~$1,600 take home depending on taxes withheld), a waiver will cover your tuition up to $5,445 per semester, and health insurance (~$2,100 per year). All students on an assistantship are required to pay a residual fee (e.g. Health and Wellness Services, Pullman
Transit, the Student Recreation Center, the CUB (Student Union building), general building and operating funds) each semester of approximately $1,000. An additional tuition waiver for non-residents will also be paid ($6,713 per semester). Domestic non-residents of the State of Washington will be expected to become a resident of the State of Washington as soon as you are eligible (after one year). Follow this link for more details on residency requirements. An additional tuition waiver for non-residents will cover out-of-state tuition ($6,713 per semester) for one year. Domestic students who fail to gain residency after one year will be responsible for covering out-of-state tuition ($6,713 per semester) until residency is established. International applications must demonstrate high spoken English proficiency to be offered a teaching assistantship. You will also have financial support throughout the summers as long as you maintain satisfactory academic progress. During your first year, you will most likely be supported on a teaching assistantship that involves teaching two laboratory sections per week, class preparation and grading, and two hours of office time for student consultation. By the end of your first year, you will have settled into a research group and are often supported as a research assistant.

The band was founded in autumn 1994 by Caron (vocal and guitar) and Asmothy (guitar) under the moniker Apostasy. Lomion (bass) and Lycanthroph (drums) completed the line-up. In winter 1995/1996 Scarog (vocal) joined the band. In autumn 1996 the 6 tracks demo "Weltnacht Dunkel" was recorded. After the recordings Lycantroph left the band. Borisshk became the new drummer in autumn 1997. In winter 1997 Lomion left the band. He was replaced by Spirit. In spring 1999 the 4 tracks promo-CDR "Hifthorn 461" was recorded. At this time the band changed its name to "Akrival", because the name "Apostasy" is used by different other bands. The band also wanted to express new developments in music, lyrics and line-up. During the recordings Spirit left the Band. In autumn 1999 A.T. replaced him on bass. In Winter 2001/2002 the 7 track Rehearsal "Shadows" was recorded. A.T. left the band after the recordings. Asmothy also left the band in spring 2003. New bass player Gunner joined Akrival in spring 2003. New guitarist Acyd joined in spring 2003. Gunner left in winter 2003 and Rough replaced him on bass. The first album called "Enigmas Of The Contradictory Nature" containing 8 Tracks has been released on 18.08.2004. Acyd left the band in winter 2006/2007. In winter 07 akrival recorded a 4 track demo. This demo is not for release. The second album was recorded in spring 2007. The album is entitled "vitriolic" and contains 9 tracks. At this time Greifenor joined the band on guitar. Rough left the band in summer 2007. Naamah Ash replaced him in Winter 2007/2008. Greifenor left the band at the same time. Akrival signed to Pictonian Records for the release of Vitriolic in spring 2008. Vincent joined on guitar. Vitriolic was released on 21.06.2008 through Pictonian Records. Naahmah Ash left in the band in 2011.


TWIRL is a research project developed in the Knowledge Technology Research Group of the University of Hamburg as a collaboration with CONICYT between July 2013 and June 2017.
Associates: Francisco Cruz, Dr. Sven Magg, Dr. Cornelius Weber.
Nowadays, robotic research reaches progress in different fields using diverse learning algorithms. Varied tasks, such as navigation, grasping, vision, speech recognition, pattern recognition among others, can be tackled and represented with different machine learning paradigms, like supervised learning, unsupervised learning or reinforcement learning. Often these tasks are performed in domestic scenarios with active human participation, in order to complete them collaboratively.
Reinforcement Learning (RL) uses sequential decisions, where an agent interacts with its environment. The environment is defined as all that is out of the agent's control and not as out of the agent's boundary, in a physic sense. The agent, in each state, selects an action to be performed, and then, it receives either a reward or a punishment. The agent, over time, aims at getting the highest reward, or as high as possible. Therefore the problem is reduced to finding an appropriate policy, which allows to find associated actions to states getting maximal future reward.
Reinforcement Learning has been a very useful approach, but often works slowly, because of large-scale exploration. A variant of RL, that tries to improve speed of convergence, and that has been rarely used until now is Interactive Reinforcement Learning (IRL), that is, RL is supported by a human trainer who gives some directions on how to tackle the problem.


Hi all just thought i'd post my first thread on recent activities in the borough. Thus being the Tour of Britain.
Turned out to be a fantastic occasion and one which was embraced by young and old alike. The organisers were especially pleasedwith such a fantastic welcome.


Away from the bustle of the town is this quintessential hill station. Cross the bridge over gushing Manalsu River to gateway into another world known as the Old Manali !
With good vibes and exquisite company in addition, we'll begin our Manali trip from Delhi. Hop into comfy buses post office hours early evening. Meet co-travelers, say hi, and socialize/rejuvenate through the overnight journey.😁 We stop by for a quick dinner break and some scrumptious dhaba fashion dinner.
Let the beauty of mountain range mesmerise you as you have breakfast at hillside pit stop dhaba. Check-in and fuel up for a cafe crawl & guided walking tour at Old Manali. While enjoying live music at one of the cafes do try out the local trout while you sip your crafted beer by the river side.🤘 Later that evening join your co-travelers and indulge in some pub crawl madness. As the city-lights start twinkling we start the bonfire by the starry night.
Early risers can enjoy the mesmerizing sunrise while other can just have a lazy chilled out day. 😍 Experience a sun-kissed outdoor brunch, take leisurely strolls by the stream or even do absolutely nothing. In the noon we take you across a scenic walk across town to the fabled hot-water springs of Manali. Take a dip or just sit by the pine forests and wash away the stress of the city. You may come back to your comfy-accommodation as and when you want, this day is made for you.
Today, fresh breeze from the Indus and the chirping of the mountain bird will transport you to another world. Start your day with a breakfast walk down the streets of the old-manali dotted with hidden bakeries, after you grab a bite our walk around the town. By early evening relax in your comfy Volvo's for your ride back to the madness of the city.
Total Trip Nights 3 Nights – however this trip is designed in a way that it starts after office hours on day 1 (usually Friday) and you reach back before office hours on day 5 (usually Tuesday). So technically you need just 0/1 days office leave.
We would love to help you out with transit from anywhere across the world or any modifications that you may need, just call us on 1800-270-1447 (24 Hours | Toll Free) and a trip Patron will assist you.

Ancient Brown Dwarfs Discovered
by Paul Gilster on November 21, 2013
How many brown dwarfs should we expect in the Milky Way? I can recall estimates that there could be as many brown dwarfs as main sequence stars back when people started speculating about this, but we have to go by the data, and what we have so far tells another tale. The WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) mission can only come up with one brown dwarf for every six stars, leading Davy Kirkpatrick (Caltech), who is part of the WISE science team, to say "Now that we're finally seeing the solar neighborhood with keener, infrared vision, the little guys aren't as prevalent as we once thought" (see Brown Dwarfs Sparser than Expected).
Image: Brown dwarfs in relation to the Sun and planets. Credit: NASA/WISE mission.
This is true, at least, in the Sun's vicinity, where WISE identifies about 200 brown dwarfs, with 33 measured within 26 light years. In the latter volume, some 211 other stars can be found. If we extrapolated this to the entire galaxy, we would get about 33 billion brown dwarfs, assuming a galactic population of 200 billion stars, but extrapolating from our own backyard may be highly unreliable. We just need to keep accumulating data to get an accurate read on these 'failed stars,' which are too cool to ignite hydrogen burning in their cores. Extremely low temperature Y-dwarfs are hard to spot, and it's possible a few more will be teased out in WISE data.
I try to keep up with brown dwarf studies in the probably vain hope that we might find a Y-dwarf close enough to serve as a target for a future probe — by 'close,' I mean still undetected and within a few light years, though the hopes for such a find seem remote. Meanwhile, new work out of the University of Hertfordshire has uncovered two of the oldest brown dwarfs yet observed, thought to go back to the early days of the galaxy some ten billion years ago. Old brown dwarfs really up the ante for detection, for since they cannot ignite internal fusion, they fade with time. The new brown dwarfs have temperatures of 250-600 degrees Celsius. You can contrast that with the surface temperature of the Sun, about 5500 degrees Celsius.
A team working under David Pinfield found the objects in the Pisces and Hydra constellations using WISE data, with additional measurements from the Magellan, Gemini, VISTA and UKIRT instruments on the ground. WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052 are moving at speeds of between 100 and 200 kilometers per second, a good deal faster than normal stars, and a marker for their age, which is also flagged by ancient atmospheres made up almost entirely of hydrogen.
This Royal Astronomical Society news release goes on to speculate about the implications of the new work for brown dwarf proliferation. Almost all local stars — about 97 percent — are members of the galactic 'thin disk,' a grouping much younger than the 'thick disk' in which stars move up and down in relation to galactic center at higher velocities. With only 3 percent of stars in our local volume being from the 'thick disk' or the 'halo' containing remnants of the earliest stars, it's no surprise that these are the first brown dwarfs we've found from that population.
Image: A brown dwarf from the thick-disk or halo is shown. Although astronomers observe these objects as they pass near to the solar system, they spend much of their time away from the busiest part of the Galaxy. The Milky Way's disk can be seen in the background. Credit: John Pinfield.
Given that the thick disk and halo occupy much larger volumes than the thin disk, finding a small number of brown dwarfs in the local thick disk/halo population implies a high number of brown dwarfs in the galaxy. Says Pinfield: "These two brown dwarfs may be the tip of an iceberg and are an intriguing piece of astronomical archaeology." True enough, but we're still working the numbers as we try to find these faint objects against a background of infrared sources ranging from distant galaxies to clouds of gas and dust. More data, and more insight, lie ahead.
The paper is Pinfield et al., "A deep WISE search for very late type objects and the discovery of two halo/thick-disk T dwarfs: WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052," in press at Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (abstract / preprint).
Ron S November 21, 2013, 14:14
"WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052 are moving at speeds of between 100 and 200 kilometers per second, a good deal faster than normal stars…"
I wondered if the numbers might mean that some fraction of these objects are ejected from the galaxy, thus miss being included in the analysis. Then I read that the minimum Milky Way escape velocity may be at least 525 km/s.

The scale height of low mass objects should be greater than that of higher mass objects, and their average velocity in the z-axis should be higher. So is this result really unexpected ? Should there not be a higher proportion of BDs as you get further from the disk plane?
Rob Henry November 21, 2013, 16:19
I'm a little confused. From what little I know 100-200 km/s sounds unambiguously like a halo population, so what is the connection to the thick disk? Is every type of object found in one also found in the other ??
Michael November 22, 2013, 7:33
If brown dwarfs have high magnetic fields could they possibly be dragged into their parent Stars or into close orbits by interacting with the gas disc. This could be a mechanism for their reduced numbers around stars. Free floating BD's could possibly be reduced in number by the original temperature of the gas that they formed from. In essence there could be a mass tipping point which is highly sensitive to the starting gas/dust temperature and the efficiency of removing excess angular momentum that will allow these objects to form.
David Cummings November 22, 2013, 14:49
The bottom line is that there are no "stepping stone" BD's for breaking up the trip to AC or other nearby stars. There might be a higher number of BD's elsewhere in the galaxy, but near us. the quantity is unhelpful in terms of providing stepping stones to the stars.
Brett Bellmore November 24, 2013, 17:35
I'm not sure brown dwarves would make for good "stepping stones" anyway; Small enough to likely not have planetary systems, large enough that you can't really land and take off from them. You might establish a grazing orbit, and extract atmospheric gases, but you won't get much in the way of higher elements that way.
Larger comets might make for good "stepping stones", because you can actually step on them.
kzb November 26, 2013, 9:06
@David Cummings: the bottom line as I see it is that BD's are still being found in the WISE data. In the paper under discussion, (and to mix metaphors) they relaxed one of the large number of hurdles that an object has to clear before being detected as a BD candidate. I also note that a large area of the sky was excluded from the survey.
On the balance of current data you are correct about the stepping stones, but I am sure there are still lots of nearby BDs to discover, plus there should be lots of ejected (orphan) planets out there…
Sorry about the multiple posts, but having digested this paper a bit now, I feel there's an important point to be made.
This survey has found 158 BD candidates within 20pc, the majority of which are new. They were not found by Kirkpatrick et al. The main reason seems to be that candidates with signal-to-noise better than 8 are accepted, whereas Kirkpatrick et al required SNR>10.
But the other acceptance criteria are rigorous. I don't get the feeling from this paper that most of these new candidates will turn out to be spurious. Quite the reverse: source blending appears to be a problem in these searches, quite likely hiding a lot of BDs (this is me saying this, not the authors I hasten to add).
Then, we have to consider that 22% of the sky was excluded from the survey. I think it is fair to say that pushes up the total by 22%. Then we have the virial equilibrium issue: is the BD/star ratio higher at greater distance from the disk plane?
So, my conclusion is that the final word on the size of the BD population is probably a long way off.

Zoryan Institute, a non-profit organization, serves the cause of scholarship and public awareness relating to issues of universal human rights, genocide, and diaspora-homeland relations. This is done through the systematic continued efforts of scholars and specialists using a comparative and multidisciplinary approach and in accordance with the highest academic standards.
To these ends the Institute undertakes and supports multi-disciplinary research, documentation, lectures, seminars, colloquia, and publications.
As an academic and scholarly center we provide research assistance to scholars, writers, journalists, film-makers, government agencies, and other organizations.
years of service dedicated to scholarship
books by the most renowned scholars and researchers in the field
periodicals published by major university press
The Zoryan Institute for Contemporary Research and Documentation was established in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1982, followed by The Zoryan Institute of Canada, Inc., incorporated in Toronto in 1984.
recorded oral history interviews
webinars and many more lectures
Students have graduated from the GHRUP program
In the late 1970s, a small group of Armenians, absorbed with questions about their history, their identity, and their future as a nation, came to the conclusion that there was a crucial need for a place to think critically about their reality. These individuals, propelled by deeply felt intellectual concerns, and compelled by a strong desire for change, set about conceptualizing an institution which would provide a forum for free and critical thinking about contemporary issues affecting their people, through a process that is, scholarly, analytical and objective. Among its primary goals would be for them to express their history in their own voice and define themselves (and not let others define them).
In 1982, the Zoryan Institute for Contemporary Armenian Research and Documentation was established in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The co-founding members were Garbis Kortian, Gerard J. Libaridian, and K.M Greg Sarkissian. They were joined by Tatul Sonentz-Papazian and Levon Sarkissian to incorporate the institute as a registered non-for profit (501(c)3).
In 1984, The Zoryan Institute of Canada, Inc., was established by co-founders Varouj Aivazian, Gerard J. Libaridian, and K.M. Greg Sarkissian. They were joined by Albert Bakos and Zaven Sarkissian to incorporate the institute as a registered charity.
Zoryan also had offices in Los Angeles and Paris in the 1980s and 1990s.
Comparative analysis is essential in helping others understand and empathize with your experience. For example, when explaining the the history of Catalonia and Spain to a Canadian friend, the story is easily understood when parallels and differences are made to the history of Quebec and the rest of Canada.
To draw such comparisons, having a "Common Body of Knowledge" is essential, meaning people must have access to a shared collection of information about historic events to create a credible base of universal evidence to even begin to have productive conversations on disputed topics.
The Institute was started without financial support or pledge of support from any institution or organization, nor did it have an endowment. One of the early decisions taken was that, in order to preserve Zoryan's independence, it was necessary to avoid financial dependence on any single organization or individual. The co-founders operated on the assumption that there was within the Armenian community a sufficient number of individuals who would support a new kind of institution devoted to the critical study contemporary Armenian society within a global context through the development of long-term projects.
The Institute was organized with two separate but complementary boards of directors. The Academic Board would conceptualize and implement the activities and projects; the Corporate Board would be responsible for the legal, administrative and financial aspects of the Institute's operations. Many people served on these boards over the years, and it would be appropriate to mention at least the following, who served as Chairs of the Academic Boards in Canada or the U.S.: Rouben Adalian, Varouj Aivazian, Joyce Barsam, Ted Bogosian, Levon Charkoudian, Levon Chorbajian, Isabel Kaprielian, Carolann Najarian, Ed Safarian, George Shirinian, and Roger W. Smith.
There are other acknowledgements that should be made, as well. The Executive Directors and Managers of the various offices at various times led and coordinated operations and projects: Atken Armenian, Alvart Badalian, Susan Brewster, Salpi Ghazarian, Catherine Kessedjian, Gerard J. Libaridian, K.M. Greg Sarkissian, Lena Sarkissian, George Shirinian, Maria Titizian, Taline Voskeritchian and Laura Yardumian.
The work of the Institute caused it to grow far beyond its original expectations. The Genocide and Human Rights University Program, in partnership with University of Minnesota and thereafter the History Department at the University of Toronto, which was initiated in 2002, became so successful that it led to the creation of a new division, the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (IIGHRS), to run the GHRUP, focus on issues of genocide and universal human rights in a comparative manner, and deal with non-Armenian institutions and entities. The GHRUP has over 400 graduates from 40 countries as of 2016. The International Institute of Diaspora Studies was subsequently created, as well in 1991, with the launch of the academic journal, Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies, with Khachig Tölölyan as founding editor. Furthermore, the IIGHRS in 2005 launched Genocide Studies and Prevention, subsequently known as Genocide Studies International, by founders Israel Charny and Roger W. Smith and founding editors Alex Alveraz, Herb Hirsch, Eric Marksun and Sam Totten, Both Diaspora and GSI are currently published with the University of Toronto Press. Some fifty books have been published to date, many of them classics in their fields.
The Zoryan Institute and its divisions, during the last 35 years, have developed into a contemporary research and documentation center. It has become a place to think, research and analyze recent history and events that impact our lives today. The Institute recognizes that intellectual force in a community is crucial. It contributes to the knowledge base by explaining the forces and factors that shape the experience of Armenians and others through an engaged scholarship, body of publications as a means of establishing common knowledge, and to raise awareness through education surrounding the gross violation of human rights and genocide.
The Making of a National Institute
IIGHRS - International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies
Through comparative analysis of such cases as the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Cambodia and Rwanda, among others, IIGHRS engages in research, publication and education in the fields of genocide and human rights.
IIDS -The International Institute of Diaspora Studies
The study of 'diaspora' deals with dispersed populations scattered away from their homelands that maintain a sense of collective identity and can function as transnational networks between host states and homelands. In an era of rapid globalization, the study of diasporas is increasingly pertinent for policy-makers, business leaders, scholars and civil societies.

Live Sustainably | Protect Nature
The "No Mow May" Challenge is on!
Agnès Le Rouzic
13 May, 2021 • 3 Comments
Ah, the arrival of spring. The days are getting longer, the sap is beginning to flow, the flowers are coming back…and so are the lawn mowers. One might feel that spring lawn care is a must. But where does the urge to have perfectly mowed yards, gardens, parks and roadsides come from?

The awakening of the vegetation in spring and its faithful procession of dandelions is a necessity for pollinators – insects that are at the very heart of nature's reproductive system – to find shelter and food so that they don't starve before the summer season gets underway.
But with the ever-increasing use of pesticides, and the social pressures to maintain and mow our lawns as soon as the temperatures rise, the survival of honeybees and wild pollinators is under threat. And their struggle is only getting more real.
Well-mown lawn or flowering meadow: let's take stock
By compiling several European and American studies in a meta-analysis, the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières has revealed that lawns create manufactured ecosystems with low biodiversity, a condition that worsens as the intensity of mowing increases. Lawns that are mowed more frequently are linked to a decrease in the number of invertebrates and have less plant diversity, while the presence of pests and invasive species goes up. We have every reason to think twice about our obsession with perfectly manicured lawns.

Even a modest reduction in lawn mowing frequency can bring a host of environmental benefits: increased pollinators, increased plant diversity and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, a longer, healthier lawn makes it more resistant to pests, weeds, and drought events. Dr Chris Watson, lead author of the study
This is the idea behind the No Mow May movement challenge. Because each new patch of green left to itself is a small victory for biodiversity, citizens – and increasingly cities – are working to change attitudes around mowing, while advocating for systems change to the benefit of people and the planet.
As an example, Nina-Marie Lister, an ecology and urban planning professor at Ryerson University, is using her rewilded green space – rich with over 100 different species of plants, shrubs and trees – to challenge Toronto city bylaws that give manicured lawns preferential treatment, arguing that the current bylaw is unconstitutional and goes against the city's own pollinator protection and biodiversity strategies.
[The current bylaw] really stands in the way of individual citizens on a small patch of yard trying to do the right thing at a time of biodiversity collapse and climate crisis. Nina-Marie Lister, ecology and urban planning professor at Ryerson University
Similarly, this couple in the Outaouais region had a run-in with their neighbour and municipality because their flower and milkweed-filled prairie garden was over the 15 cm height limit allowed by the municipal bylaw. And a Moncton resident has also begun educating his neighbours not to mow in May to encourage more biodiversity.
Cities are also waking up to smell the unmowed flowers. Lyon in France has committed to leaving half of the 15 hectares of the Tête d'or park – one of its largest urban parks – in its natural state following the 2020 lock downs. Rotherham in the UK, which, thanks to a long campaign run by the UK-based organization Plantlife, has stopped mowing its roadsides and is saving nearly $37,000 (25,000 euros) every two years in mowing costs. Other British cities have also made this commitment.
Lawn and order: a class distinction
Placed in its historical context, we can see the manicured lawn is not a new fad. Representations of "brush cut" lawns have been found dating back to Antiquity (for the record, the Latin origin of the word lawn means "hairy"). Much later in the Middle Ages in Europe, we find them in the lordly residences or at the edges of castles.
But it is really at the end of the seventeenth century, still in Europe, that the short mowed lawn became a widespread instrument of social distinction that allowed people to show off their opulence, since having vast expanses of lawns maintained for little or no productive use was a sign of their owner's excess wealth. These are the roots of our present-day obsession with over-mowing, to the detriment of the butterflies and the bees.
Ending the reign of turf
Now, if the call of the lawnmower is strong for you, here are five reasons to resist and postpone this activity to later in the season – or not engage in it at all, and opt for wild cultivated green spaces instead:
1. Encourage biodiversity, wild plants and pollinators
The surest way to encourage biodiversity and let the benefits it brings run free is to let it all unfold naturally. Rewilding gardens and flowerbeds will allow the return of insects and foraging pollinators, but also garden helpers that will protect other plants from pests, until this little world finds its natural balance. You may also want to help things along and intentionally plant some native flowers that are particularly delicious for pollinators.
2. Reduce unwanted or invasive weeds
It may be counterintuitive, but the facts are in. When pressure is placed on a habitat, only those species best suited to the pressure will become established over time. Species such as dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis), white clover (Trifolium repens), or allergy-causing plants such as ragweed, for example, do not mind being cut regularly: their life cycle is rapid and they reproduce quickly. While beneficial when part of a diverse ecosystem, they will dominate highly manicured gardens, as they are the only ones that will succeed in such a stressed environment.
3. Saving money and conserving resources
Have you taken stock of the amount of time and money you spend on lawn care? Between the mower, the fertilizers, the seeds and the tools, the social pressure to maintain a controlled green lawn with not a blade of grass out of place has become a vast business worth nearly $3 billion in this country. This activity also consumes astronomical amounts of water, pesticides and more than 150 million litres of gasoline annually. And that's just in Canada.
4. Have more time for yourself
Based on the mowing season and how frequently you cut the grass, from mid-May to mid-October, it is likely that by the end of the season you will have spent an average of 20 hours maintaining your lawn. This is time you will be gifted back by a naturally balanced, rewilded green space.
5. Maintain your garden naturally without overdoing it
Wondering how to space out mowing and watering while still keeping your lawn looking green and pleasant? Tall grasses retain moisture better, so you might want to leave out some areas and mow only part of your lawn. Leave the clippings on the ground (mulch), which will fertilize it naturally. Planting or growing fabaceous plants, such as white clover, will provide the necessary nitrogen, while leaving dead leaves in the fall will make your soil rich with carbon. These are all essential elements for a healthy, living green space.
So, now you know almost everything you need to get started with No Mow May – you might even say you're a 'mow-it-all.' But after reading this, we hope you won't mow it all! And just to sow the seeds of a great challenge opportunity, no major Canadian city has yet successfully resisted the lawnmower for all of May, June and July. Maybe your city or town will be the first?
Enjoy your garden, parks and nature!

#NoMowMay I cut my grass 7" high so it preserves the pretty, low flowers all year. Not just in May. Short, sterile, manicured lawns are unnatural, boring and very costly. Long grass saves flowers, bees, time and 100s of $$$/year. No downside.

I have written a children's book (looking for a publisher) entitled Our Environment's Helpers. When I heard about your No Mow website I realized that my first page of the book is about not mowing down all the dandelions. An aunt tells her young nephew that he can't mow her grass - something that he and the grandfather came to do- because they will be destroying all of the bees early food. Do you ever post anything like that on your website? I even got a beautiful illustration to go with that page.

Thanks for reading, True Yooper. Just a note: There are two Grand Traverse Bays. The mining waste was originally piled in Gay, along Lake Superior's Grand Traverse Bay (more specifically 'Big' Traverse Bay). That's not to be confused with Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay.

Home Broadcast News Study says "TV Everywhere" only at 17% penetration
Study says "TV Everywhere" only at 17% penetration
Multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) subscribers are not rushing out to take advantage of TV Everywhere, says a study by GfK Media and reported by the Wall Street Journal. According to the study, only 17% of cable or satellite subscribers have watched programming from their MVPDs online using TV Everywhere, even though they have access to the service. This, four years after its launch and despite a serious push by MVPDs.
GfK says the entire effort has been plagued by delays in launch as a result of difficult rights negotiations between various entertainment companies and pay TV operators – cable, satellite and phone companies.
One major obstacle, the 1000-person study showed, is the requirement for people to sign in with their cable account details to prove that they are paying video subscribers. 70% of pay TV subscribers who have ever watched programming online said they would be deterred from watching Internet TV content if it required them to sign in with their cable account credentials.
TV Everywhere began as a joint push from Time Warner and Comcast as the industry's response to the threat of cord cutting posed by the rising tide of cheap online video alternatives. The availability of content varies with channel and pay TV provider. As a result of a deal struck between Comcast and Disney last year, for instance, Comcast customers can watch ESPN live outside the home on tablets or mobile phones over the Internet. But other deals have been far more limited in scope.
One of the main issues that has been separating entertainment companies and pay TV providers is the question of which will deal directly with consumers, traditionally the province of providers. While providers like Comcast have made a big push to make content available online through their own website or apps – in Comcast's case, Xfinity — channels like ESPN, Time Warner's HBO and CNN have their own individual apps and websites with TV programming content. Those give consumers a direct relationship with channels they haven't traditionally had.
The GfK study shows that 37% of folks who have ever viewed TV online watched the content through a TV network's app or website, while only 30% of those surveyed reported watching through a cable operator or other distributor's online portals. That could partly be because TV watchers associate what they're watching more with a TV channel than with their cable provider. But cable executives believe eventually customers will choose their portals so they can find everything in one place—without sifting through a number of apps.
One bright spot for distributors is that about a quarter of respondents said that they are more likely to keep their existing providers' services as a result of their TV everywhere products. For the vast majority of those surveyed, however, it still hasn't made a difference in how they view their cable, satellite or phone company.
See the WSJ story here
RBR-TVBR observation: It's all a matter of promotion. Some cable networks are pushing their online apps in almost every commercial break, and during programming in some cases. We know MVPDs are pushing them as well, but just not hard enough. Perhaps incentives like contests or sweepstakes. TV Everywhere does allow new advertising opportunities and helps keep subscribers, so it is in their best interest.

Décor trend takes books beyond the shelves

Books have become a decorating statement for their looks, not for their content.
By Jura Koncius
It used to be that your books said something about you.
Today, that may not always be the case. Books are evolving as a decorating statement for their looks, not for their content.
Some people adore having favorite books on shelves throughout their homes as totems of their literary life or their studies. But today, like it or not, many books are bought by the box, by the yard or by color. Sometimes a book is only bought for its cover, or even its spine or page-top hue. Books can add warmth and color to a room, and stacks of books can serve as end tables or nightstands.
Even in New York's prestigious 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House, shelves of books encased in identical white Brodart jackets served as a backdrop for an otherwise colorful living room by Los Angeles designer David Netto.

"It looks mysterious and abstract," says Netto, who procured the wrapped books from private-library curator Kinsey Marable.
Instagram and Pinterest continue to inspire DIYers with fresh ideas on decorating with books. We present a few here.
Book arch
If you do a search for #BookArch on Instagram, you'll see a charming variety of arcs in homes, book shops and libraries. They look good framing fireplaces or rounded doorways or creating interest along a wall.
Julie James, a floral artist and wedding designer in the Pittsburgh area, says book arches are in demand for weddings and are especially popular with English majors and teachers. For a photo shoot, James bought a used book arch made of two lengthy pieces of bendable steel (rebar). A variety of hardbacks and paperbacks had two holes drilled in them and were threaded onto the arches, which were then secured into heavy bases.
James says books turn up in many roles at nuptials. "I've hung book pages from trees and laid out book pages under flowers and moss on tables," she says. A popular centerpiece: little stacks of vintage books with a candle or small vase of flowers on top.

Book headboard
A popular online tutorial these days is how to make a stylish headboard out of books. In 2012, Kassandra Utzinger, a graphic designer and blogger in Vancouver, B.C., wrote a post on her website Design Every Day about her bed. She had arrived in Canada from Australia and needed a fast, affordable design idea for her new apartment.
"I was looking for some way to decorate in a personalized way," Utzinger says. "I was inspired by seeing how Banana Republic was using books to display jewelry in their stores back then."
She explored secondhand shops to collect books and nailed them onto plywood, leaving the top pages loose. She affixed those with two-sided tape and finessed them to make it look like the pages are about to flip. Haters posted negative comments on the blog post about damaging books. "They said 'Why would you stick nails in books?' But in reality, the books I found otherwise would not see the light of day."
Utzinger's blog has been reposted several times, and she has been delighted to see other versions of her idea.
"It's cool to see how people put up the books and then do some painting over the pages," she says. "I have seen various-size headboards using different-size books. In children's rooms, sometimes they use colorful and bright picture books. It's all really fun."

Color-coded books
Everything at the Wing, a chain of women-only co-working spaces and social clubs, is carefully coordinated — even the bookshelves.
According to Chiara de Rege, an interior designer with offices in New York and Los Angeles who decorates the clubs, books by female authors were carefully curated for club members to check out. One of the co-founders of the club, Audrey Gelman, was interested in creating a rainbow of color on the shelves.
"Audrey had been talking about a spectrum of color," de Rege says. "She is a total book nerd, and it was important to her that there be a library with relevant books that people would read, but that it also have a cool rainbow vibe." They organized books on shelves in the Wing-branded Pantone colors, which are pale pink, mint, navy, burnt orange, caramel and gray.
Some books are displayed with their covers out, and some with covers off and spines out. All the books and authors they wanted to include, from Danielle Steele to Hillary Clinton, found a home in the rainbow, de Rege says.
Organizing books by color continues to be a very popular look in design magazines, Pinterest and Instagram, despite a lot of naysayers. It's an inexpensive and striking way to add interest to a boring bookshelf. Online sellers are happy to sell you a foot of lime green or lipstick red.
Tinted spines
There's another way to organize books by color: by the hue of their tinted page tops. The most popular page-top colors are blue and green, says Nancy Martin, owner of Decades of Vintage, which sells old books curated by color, as well as rare antique books. Publisher's stain, the technical term for tinted page tops, was applied to the page edges of certain vintage books to shield pages from later damage because of dust and dirt.
"It was a cheap way to make things look fancier," Martin says, "and gave a series of books a competitive edge."
She says shelving books with the page tops showing out is popular for nurseries and children's rooms, since 1950s book series such as the Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew and Tom Swift have tinted tops. "Sometimes people put a few with the spines out and then put a few flat in the other direction," Martin says.
Coffee-table books may be used to make a personal statement or give clues to where the owners might have traveled. (Sandra M. Cavallo via The Washington Post)
Coffee-table books
The oversize, photography-heavy books stacked on many a coffee table have their own category in the publishing and decorating business: "coffee-table books."
These books often say something about the residents of a home. These books may be used to make a political statement or give clues to where the owners might have traveled.
Cape Cod designer Sandra Cavallo changes out the books on the coffee table in her shingle-style home in West Falmouth, Massachusetts, to reflect the seasons. If she has an overnight guest, she might gear the books to their interests. She places books in stacks and carefully arranges collections around them, giving the books space to be easily accessed.
"Grouping books by color and size helps my layout to appear clean and simple," says Cavallo, "but mixing vibrant, fun colors and different sizes can be a great design statement."
She might use a round or square tray on the table to group smaller elements in different heights and materials. Play around with your vignettes, she says, and step back and take a look. If you're not sure of the overall effect, take a quick iPhone picture. "That's how I got started on Instagram," says Cavallo, who now has more than 185,000 followers on her account, @oldsilvershed.

On Wednesday morning following CSX's solid quarterly earnings report, we selected the CSX Weekly $65-67.50 Calls for observation, and scored the opportunity at multi-bag gains that day, as we relayed in yesterday's premarket report.
Speaking of single-day multibag gains, also included in yesterday's report was a fresh idea for the EBAY options chain. We went bearish after the company disappointed on Q2 revs, signaling our interest in the EBAY Weekly $36-34.50 Puts and we were dead-on with that idea as well.
After having such great success with options this week, as we usually do, we'll go ahead and finish things up with two more fresh earnings related ideas. Just make sure you're not trading these calls unless you're an expert trader with disposable funds!

Members of Dum Dum Girls, Blouse, Terry Malts performing jangle-pop covers at Sarah Records Nite 6.21.15
Members of Dum Dum Girls, SISU, and Blouse go halfsies on a new band, Boys Will Be Girls, for Part Time Punks' Sarah Records Nite at The Echo this Sunday night.
Watch Boys Will Be Girls performing covers of the twee outfits Heavenly and Field Mice to commemorate Sarah Records, one of the seminal labels that carried DIY spirit and anti-capitalist politics through the wake of the '90s with the power of guitar jangle.
There will be no creative liberties taken with these covers, as Sandra Vu (Dum Dum Girls/SISU) mentions: "We are staying faithful to the originals, so you can expect lots of harmonies and jangly guitars."
Corey, composed of Terry Malts members, will also perform select songs from the Sarah Records catalogue. Hungry Beat! DJs and Michael Stock of KXLU 88.9 FM/Part Time Punks will be spinning choice picks from the label, too.
Sarah Records was notable for its main contributors Clare Wadd and Matt Haynes and short-lived span from 1987 to 1995, effectively shutting down after its 100th release, the compilation album and booklet There And back Again Lane. The Bristol-based label survived a period of transition in music formats (vinyl to CD) and criticized the then-sexist attitudes of the music press. A history of Sarah Records can be found on their updated official site. Sarah Records Nite begins 10 PM with $8/$10 Advance/Door cover. - Ryan Mo

Stream SISU "Harpoons"
We've been following the evolution of Sandra Vu as a fully-formed artist ever seen she mesmerized us with her debut EP "Light Eyes", and now she's gracing us with the anonuncement of her upcoming full-length Blood Tears, which has a set release of September 17th via Mono Prism Records. Vu comes across as an exciting and visceral performer in first single "Harpoons", a scorching pop record that starts with a morose tone before it builds into a towering chorus that rattles with a lavish wash of swirling guitars embroidered by an impenetrable synth pulse. If you want to catch her live, she's part of the next Part Time Punks at La Cita on August 30th.
Stream: "Harpoons"
Stream: SISU, 'Light Eyes' EP
Fronted by Dum Dum Girls' Drummer, Sandra Vu, SISU blends gloomy synth-pop, shoegaze and electronic rock. Their latest effort, 'Light Eyes' EP, will be released on cassette by Burger Records this month. The opening song, "Two Thousand Eyes," layers lo-fi drum loops, gritty guitars, sparkling synth leads and ghostly harmonies that swirl like ordered chaos. The title track, "Light Eyes," grabs you right away with it's catchy hook and tribal groove. The soundscapes ebb and flow throughout the EP, and descend into more experimental territories at times, while still maintaining the doom-like moodiness juxtaposed with hopeful pop melodies. SISU is currently on tour supporting Marnie Stern, with a full length expected later this year. - Jacqueline Caruso

Q: Web based election database software I was wondering if there is any web based election database open source project out there that:

*

*Could be customised to match every countrie's election system (all elections: presidential, general, regional, ...)

*Helps keeping track of all the candidates with their programs and promises during and after the election

*Every candidate or elected member has a section for all infos related to him during his mandate for example, plus a discussion forum...

*...

And so on... Something that can hold everything related to a democratic and political system of a given country and which is community-powered of course...
I hope you get the idea (I couldn't explain better... Feel free to edit to add more details)
So, does any open source project doing almost all of the above exists ?

A: Maybe you could take a look at this webpage:
https://vote.heliosvoting.org/
or
http://web-based-election-software.soft112.com/
It seems they can do what you are asking for and it is opensource....
Hope it helps...
