Trakopolis is the ideal partner for businesses on the move. If you use vehicles to make deliveries in cities, to haul people and supplies over long distances, or if you operate machinery that needs to be transported into remote areas with difficult terrain – you can use Trakopolis to streamline many of your business operations.
Fleet management is more data-centric than ever before. In order to achieve KPIs in financial, sustainability and operational terms, fleet managers need more meaningful data at their fingertips. Trakopolis delivers the data quality you need, as well as the volume.
Trakopolis fleet tracking is an all-in-one solution bringing the human element — the drivers — and the capital element — the vehicles — together in real-time reports. Using the power of cloud-based computing and storage, Trakopolis can transform data into intuitive visual dashboards to bring multi-level analytics to life.
The first level is vital — tracking assets against GIS mapping overlays on Google Maps. Where are all your vehicles? What are the best routes? How long are vehicles idling? With Trakopolis-installed Garmin displays in the cab, a dispatch centre can push new routes to drivers, analyzing feedback to create optimized routes for future use. Supervisors can customize geographical overlays to fit with specific business needs, such as remote working on unmarked roads.
The next level adds data pulled directly from engine control modules (ECMs) via sensors. Monitoring driver habits can prevent unnecessary wear and tear on vehicles by alerting supervisors to excessive cornering, speed violations, braking and acceleration. Companies can save fuel costs, reduce emissions, and avoid fines. Service departments can create accurate needs-based maintenance plans to reduce unnecessary downtime.
Of course, on the HR side, managers can investigate the causes of aggressive driving habits, coach safer behaviour and take other steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of drivers. Driver Score Cards allow managers to track driver performance and improvement over time.
Large-scale fleet management produces vast amounts of potential billing data. Trakopolis simplifies and streamlines information flowing from location-aware devices and sensors on vehicles. The result is a highly accurate, granular report on actual vehicle behaviour. The report layers significant events, such as ignition on and off, on top of core data such as run-time, idle time and geo-fencing powered by GPS location. Fleet managers can customize reports for specific functionality in their industry, such as cycle times in forestry.
Trakopolis installs location-aware devices and sensors to generate real-time data from critical equipment, such as refrigeration or heating units. Data streams from the sensors allow for real-time monitoring, range-based alerts and customized performance reports.
The Trakopolis gateway device can link to four temperature sensors on a refrigerator truck or trailer. Sensors monitor temperature consistency in several zones, alerting supervisors to peaks and troughs. The system helps maintain consistent cargo temperatures, which can be easily authenticated to arbitrate disputes between shippers and receivers.
The Trakopolis temperature monitor reduces losses caused by faulty equipment, minimizes the administration of disputes, and helps fleet managers plan for equipment replacement. All this from the small investment in a tracking device with sensors.
Trakopolis has compliance built into its database, with rule sets for driver hours, fuel taxes and other issues that cover most North American markets.
Trakopolis supports databases covering IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement), and Canadian provincial fuel tax regulations, such as BC's Distance Tax Report. Fuel usage is calculated virtually over GPS or through a sensor on the Engine Control Module (ECM).
New mandates imposed by the USA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) require electronic log books for commercial transport operators as of December 17, 2017. Trakopolis ELD, powered by KeepTruckin contains pre-loaded rule sets that cover 95% of all the jurisdictions in North America.

Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish consisting of roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices. The name comes from the type of cylindrical clay oven, tandoor, in which the dish is traditionally prepared. Two of the good places to eat the best tandoori is Pak Putra Tandoori Naan and Restaurant D' Tandoori House. Their tandoori is so tender and I highly recommend it! The naan, a leavened, oven-baked flatbread, boasts a smoky flavor from the tandoori with slightly charred edges. Very tasty, especially when eaten with the tender, flavorful chicken.
Sambal is a condiment that has a chili-based sauce. Typically made from a variety of chili peppers, it is sometimes a substitute for fresh chilies and can be extremely spicy for the uninitiated. Secondary ingredients of sambals often include shrimp paste and/or fish sauce, garlic, ginger, or shallots/green onions, sugar, lime juice, and rice vinegar or other vinegars. Some ready-made sambals are available at exotic food markets or gourmet departments in supermarkets.
The main ingredients of this dish is fish/seafood, ladyfinger, eggplant, long green bean and tomato. This dish is cooked in asam (tamarind) juice with chili and different spices. The cooking process involves soaking the pulp of the tamarind fruit until it is soft and then squeezing out the juice for cooking the fish/seafood. This is the signature dish of the state. A very hot and mild sour fish curry making it very appetizing and is best to go with white rice. I normally eat it during lunch and dinner.
The laksa is pungent, rich and well flavored from the spices and chilies. The aroma is super tempting. Once you put it into your mouth, I don't know how to describe the taste; the food melts and takes you into heaven. For the uninitiated, there is a difference between Nyonya laksa and curry laksa. Nyonya laksa broth is prepared using chicken and prawns, while curry laksa uses chicken stock. The red-orange dotted oil on top of the Nyonya laksa comes from the prawns, which gives the curry a richer and sweeter taste.
This is a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and "pandan" leaf commonly found in Malaysia. Nasi lemak is not only popular in Melaka, it is also considered as one of the national dishes. This street food is best served with the banana leaf as the aroma enhances the taste.
Satay or sate is a dish of seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. Satay may consist of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork, fish, other meats, or tofu; the more authentic version uses skewers from the midrib of the coconut palm frond, although bamboo skewers are often used. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings. Good consistency on the peanut sauce and the taste is just right without being overly sweet.

Devon Sawa Talks 'Hunter Hunter' and Working With Bruce Campbell & Glenn Danzig on Upcoming Horror Movies [Interview]
Devon Sawa has arguably had a larger impact on pop culture than most other actors who were working in the early 2000s. We are no longer "fans" of anything, we "Stan" them. The very term now deeply embedded in the lexicon was co-opted from the name of a character Sawa famously portrayed in Eminem's multi-platinum hit "Stan" (2000).
Sawa seamlessly transitioned from teen heartthrob to pop-horror icon playing Anton Tobias in 1999's cult classic Idle Hands. He then starred as Alex Browning in the cultural phenomenon that was Final Destination (2000), which spawned a five-film franchise.
His latest film Hunter Hunter, a psychological horror-thriller, is set to release just in time to bloody up the holidays. Following that, he is also starring in Black Friday and Death Rider in the House of Vampires with none other than Bruce Campbell and Glenn Danzig, respectively. I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Sawa about his upcoming projects and a lot of his past work including the iconic video for "Stan."
What can you tell us about Hunter Hunter?
It's a film that—man, I don't even know how they got me the script, but somehow the script landed with me. I think it was a million and a half budget, it was shooting in Winnipeg. The script really just spoke to me. You know, Blumhouse is doing all these really cool movies where they're horror, they're smart, they got more of a psychological thriller going on, and this movie kind of fits in that world. These horror movies that are coming out lately—other than, you know, Crawl, which I love—but most of these horrors that are coming out lately, that are doing well are smart, they're smart films—Hereditary, all these films like that. So, this was kind of like that. There's no one chasing anybody with a knife, there wasn't pointless gore and whatnot, it was just really done well. And the ending, on paper it was like whoa, we're gonna do that? And when they filmed it, it just surpassed that. It was phenomenal. You know, I'm happy that I got on it and did it.
I know you can't talk about it too much yet, but can you discuss what themes are covered in the film?
It's basically, it's about a family. They come from a long line of hunters. My character's father is a hunter, his father was a hunter, but in the changing world, the changing times, you know, no one's looking for beaver pelts and that kind of stuff. So, they've got to make a decision whether they can live in this world anymore; make a living and survive out in the wilderness. And then it just takes a turn. They run into some other stuff. That's the overall kind of gist to it.
What about your character? He seems really intense.
Yeah, he's intense. You know, this character I really had to—I'm not a hunter. I've never gone hunting. I'm not against hunting. I think that if you're hunting for meat and whatnot it is what it is. So, it was a stretch for me. I had to figure out a way, because I had to skin animals in the film—not real animals—but, you know, I had to be a skinner, but I had to do it in a way that was just second nature. He's a hard man and he's been living out in the woods and it was a stretch for me. I'm a city guy.
Devon Sawa in 'Hunter Hunter'
How did you approach that headspace?
Well, the thing is I got the script and within a week I was on a plane going to Winnipeg, and within a couple days of arriving in Winnipeg I was on the set. So, preparing for it was—I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for it. So, the director, Shawn Linden, he comes from that world. He's not a hunter, but he's an outdoorsy guy and he knows about all that stuff. So, I really had to be a sponge on set, and I had to listen and trust. It was a lot of trust. It was a lot of "this is how we sharpen the knife," or "this is what we do when we—you know, we don't want to cut here, we want to cut"—and I had to absorb all that as quickly as possible. Luckily, I already had the beard growing, so that worked out. Yeah, the preparation was just a lot of getting to set and between setups, having these conversations with the director on who this guy is and what he does and how he does it, and trying to make it appear that I've been doing it all my life.
That's something you run into a lot with the indie world.
Well, there's two ways it goes, and it doesn't ever go [both] ways. It either goes "Ok, you got an offer on this movie. Do you like it? Yeah, you gotta leave tomorrow." There's that way, or there's the "Hey, here's a script. They really like you. They're thinking about going next month." And that ends up being six months.
You're from Canada, aren't you?
I am. I'm from Vancouver.
So, you were well versed in shooting in an environment like Winnipeg.
Well, Vancouver is like the tropics of Canada. It really is. It's not as cold as Toronto or Montreal, and Winnipeg takes the cake for the coldest. We were shooting there in—started in September and went through October. We got a record snowstorm and we had to shut down the set for a couple of days. It was brutal. It was brutal at times, but it really plays into it. There is nothing that helps with the creepiness of the movie like being cold and uncomfortable and wet, you know. It all just kind of played into it. And we couldn't get a lot of the equipment as far as heaters or tents up into some of the locations, so you just kind of gotta huddle around, and it just all kind of plays into the film. You know, they had these backpacks on us, and we were carrying rifles, and there's not a lot of places to set it down, so you just start feeling the fatigue and the weather and it all kind of just works with the whole thing.
I feel like there's a big twist coming somewhere in the movie…
There's some twists. There's multiple twists. I'll say this, you know, sometimes I'll read the comments below the YouTube thing and someone will be like "this isn't about a wolf" and it's like, way to go genius. It really isn't about a wolf. I mean, there's a little bit to the wolf. But yeah, there's some major twists. I can't really speak about it because the movie is just about the twists. It's kind of like, it's that smart kind of Sixth Sense, or whatever, any of these movies. It relies on these twists. Especially the ending. It's—I don't think people are gonna see it coming. It really is kind of—it's like the Blair Witch Project ending where you just kind of go 'whoa, what the fuck?' It's got that strong ending.
What can you tell us about Black Friday at this point?
Black Friday came to me at the beginning of the quarantine and it was just me at this point. I read it and it was the first time I felt—I hadn't done anything like Idle Hands or Slackers in a lot of years. I felt like after Slackers I didn't really want to revisit comedy at all or that kind of comedy. And I read this script and it's a lot of fun. It's comedy but more like The Boys. It's serious but people are going to find it amusing. And then [Bruce] Campbell coming on to it was like—I mean, I based the character of Anton Tobias off of Campbell's performance in Evil Dead 2. When I first got the script for Idle Hands it was about a mother that got possessed. There was one little bit where my hand got possessed before she did. That scene was in the addition and I went into Sony and did this whole—now looking back at this I basically ripped Campbell off. I was such a gigantic fan as a kid of his, and my friend and I had done the hand stuff so many times. We had a trampoline, and we would flip ourselves. You know, I was a twelve-year-old kid that was in love with Bruce Campbell's characters in those movies. And I went into that Sony room and I did that.
Bruce Campbell, I've always been a gigantic fan. So, he came on second and I was like [mind blown]. Then we get this young cast of up and comers, and we've started shooting it. And we've relied on old-fashioned filmmaking. Robert Kurtzman, the SFX team, has all prosthetics. It's like you walk onto where we're shooting and there's rooms of like heads, and a whole team of people painting, and we got hydraulic bubbles. It's like we're back in filmmaking. I'm sure there's going to be a few where they're gonna have to do CGI because there's some car throwing and all this stuff, but we're back in old school prosthetic world. I've veered completely from the question but I'm just so excited to be on this project. It's been a lot of fun. We're shooting chronologically, so the first week it's been a lot of just normal stuff, like the stuff in the toy store where we're just employees and setting the story and whatever. We just started on Friday night getting into the creature shit. You know, I get attacked and battle it out with a skateboard. It's just awesome stuff, man. It's really awesome stuff.
That sounds like a fucking blast.
It's so cool. And next week we get into some really—I mean next week, Monday, Tuesday, and the following week, it's all creatures and shit like that. And it's a very original kind of creature.
There's been a lot of filmmakers returning to practical effects lately because it just looks better having an actual monster on set instead of something CG.
We had the team that did the [old lady] from Doctor Sleep. That [old lady] was awesome. It was frightening, the old lady in the bathtub.
Have you ever worked with Bruce Campbell before?
No. I spoke to him on Twitter a few years ago. I had to confess my love for him and where Idle Hands came from, and he sent me a nice little message. I never knew that we'd be working together. I wish I could go back and tell twelve-year-old me that you're gonna work with this guy one day on something just as wacky as this stuff.
It is pretty interesting that so many newer filmmakers are reverting back to practical effects. It does look a hell of a lot better.
Well, I did a movie with Glenn Danzig, a vampire spaghetti western, that—yeah, and he's gonna use all—he's dumped a lot of his own money, like millions of dollars into digital effects. Like, I think he dumped two million dollars into digital effects on these vampires, and apparently it looks really fucking badass. But we had this crazy team of computer guys on set all the time and supposedly they killed it. I haven't seen the film yet, so I don't know. It was an interesting film to shoot, to say the least. It was quite wild.
What movie is that?
Death Rider (Death Rider in the House of Vampires). Got Eli Roth in there. It's cool. We all just had a real good time shooting that and Glenn Danzig is a character. So, we'll see with that one.
I didn't know he was making another movie.
Yeah, I never knew about the first movie when I was shooting the second movie with him. I think a few days into shooting it, they were like 'have you heard of Verotika?' I'm like, 'no, is it good?' It was just—silence. But this one, he had a cast of actors and a lot bigger budget.
I'm sure having a cast and budget is going to make a huge difference.
It's going to make a huge difference. Glenn Danzig is an unconventional director; I will say that. It's wild working with him. Like, I worked with Fred Durst too, another rock musician, but Fred Durst was much more—grounded than Glenn Danzig was. Glenn Danzig was wild. It was a wild experience, and I wouldn't give it up for the world. It was very interesting.
Devon Sawa in Fred Durst's 'The Fanatic'
How would you compare the two as directors?
Fred Durst is very educated in film. He wanted to do things the conventional way, whereas Danzig was gonna do shit like a fucking rockstar, you know what I mean. Danzig was like, "Yeah, that might not be how film people do it, but we're rockstars and we're gonna do it this way." Whereas Durst was a little bit more like, you know, he had a shot list and was working with the DP and this and that, so. It was just two different ways. They were both wild.
I was curious about how Danzig would prepare for a film.
He had a vision. He had a vision, and he was going with it, and we'll see when it comes out. He was very, very strong and stubborn at times about what he wanted, and we'll see. He's a wild guy, man. Fucking Glenn Danzig.
So Death Rider already wrapped?
Death Rider's shot. It was shot last year. I think that the Corona virus shut it down for about five months of post-production. I can say this, I've heard some of his soundtrack. He did the soundtrack for it and I went to the studio to listen to him lay down some tracks. And because it's a spaghetti western, he's kind of got that Sergio Leone vibe going, but it's all fucking, like, punk/metal shit. It's pretty fucking cool. I don't know what the film's gonna look like, but the soundtrack's amazing.
Devon Sawa in 'Final Destination'
So, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Final Destination franchise.
You know, the story goes like this as far as not going back for the sequel, just before I talk about my favorites and whatnot. So, I did that movie when I was like twenty, I think, and I was partying and I wasn't in the position to go back for the sequel and everybody felt that, so I didn't. And so, the second one, it kind of stung a little that they killed me with a brick. But after that, it became exciting to watch because every one they cast new, young actors and it became exciting to watch what they'd do with the material, with the concepts, with the project. Five is definitely my favorite. I think that CGI got to a point where it was becoming flawless and five utilized that a lot. I saw it in 3D as well, and it worked great for that movie. And, you know, it was a smart ending, the twist. I'm happy that it's gone as far as it's gone and launched a couple of young careers. It's a great franchise.
What is the craziest direction you've ever gotten on a film?
The craziest direction I ever got? I think that I always think about—for years, I think about the Eminem "Stan" video. I got to set for that video. I didn't know anything, what we were doing. I just got to set, and they handed me the lyrics and said, "Oh, by the way, you're going lip sync this" and I went "Come again?" And I remember doing the first basement scene and lip syncing it. They yelled cut and Dr. Dre came in and he's like, "Yo, this time you gotta try it with a little bit more rhythm," and I was like, ah man. For the longest time, I think that—because he said my lips were off a little, and I want to know, I don't know, like, back then or not, if there was a delay in the monitor, like between the loud speaker and the monitor itself. I know there's a delay in the monitor. So, I'm wondering if, and I wish I could go back and ask somebody or if I was just that bad. But if there was a slight delay in the monitor and—like the loudspeaker was playing something but my lips were moving differently on the monitor because of the delay. I don't know, I always think that's the craziest direction I ever got was Dr. Dre telling me an actor that's never done any sort of stuff like that to do it with more rhythm. I'm sure I've gotten plenty of directions that are wild, but that one always sticks with me. I just think it's funny in a way.
No. That's a great one. I would shit my pants if Dr. Dre told me that.
Well, I remember getting there and them handing me the lyric sheet and I was like, "Ah, ok." And then I was sitting in my trailer—I knew the song, but I didn't know the song word for word, and I was just trying to learn this over and over. It was crazy. It was crazy. The amount of people I had on my team back then, agents and managers and whatnot, nobody wanted me to do that video. It was a friend of mine came to me and said, "Hey, I have a friend that's a casting director and they want to know if you'll meet Eminem about a Stan video." And Eminem was blowing up at that point, but he wasn't Eminem yet and my agents and managers didn't see it. Because no one was doing music videos. There was a lot of stuff back then that was turned down. I remember that High Times approached me back in like '97 and was like, "Do you want to do a cover for High Times" and I was like "Fuck yeah, I do." So, I went to my agent and publicists and I was like "High Times Cover!" They were like, "No! You can't do a High Times cover. That's ridiculous." And then like five years later, there's like Seth Rogen on High Times magazine.
Back to horror. How has horror changed to you over the years?
It's constantly evolving and we're turning to things like—when I first started visiting horror, it was the height of the teen horror films. Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, all those. Urban Legend, Disturbing Behavior, all these teen movies, which is why we did Idle Hands, kind of a, something different. But that kind of went away and horror kind of died down a little bit. Then it came back with these smart Hereditary style films that were different from the slasher films. And now I think it's going to start taking a turn back to the teen horror films again. I think Scream is going to come out and be huge. There's going to be I Know What You Did Last Summer on tv. You know, we're gonna start seeing the reboot of teen horror films. I think that Crawl—Crawl was so great. It was just so loony and awesome. I would like to see more of those. I don't even know what kind of genre it is. I remember going to the theater to see it and it just being a lot of fun. It wasn't trying too hard. It was just alligators in a house during a flood and people dying. That was it. That was the concept, and it was shot well, it was directed well, it was acted well. And the other one was Ready or Not. That's another film that was really well done. I like new ideas too. That's the other thing. I hope that they keep giving us new stuff.
I saw that you're reading the novel Kin (by Kealan Patrick Burke). I loved that book.
Yeah. I'm only like five pages in so don't spoil it. Have they planned on doing a movie of that? That's one of the greatest things about Twitter for me. I don't think I would have ever found this guy if it wasn't for Twitter, which is sad. He seems to be really talented. But also, Don Winslow I found somehow on Twitter and is one of my favorite authors now. Thank God for Twitter for giving these guys the platform they need.
What is your all-time favorite horror movie?
It's a tough question because there's a lot of different genres within horror. Like, I love The Shining, even though I read the book and I just love the book more. Even though the film is still a masterpiece, I just think the book is so much better. I would have to say that The Devil's Rejects is up there. Yeah, I would have to say Devil's Rejects is one of my all-times. Texas Chainsaw Massacre if we're going back, and Rosemary's Baby, and all these older films. And a film I really like of recent is Don't Breathe. The one in the basement, that's a really good film. But I would say Devil's Rejects would be my contemporary favorite horror film.
Hunter Hunter arrives December 18th in select theaters and on demand.

The tradition of wearing a signet ring is seeing a revival. Rich in history, the practice goes back thousands of years. Before we had PIN numbers, utility bills and other forms of ID an official document would have been endorsed with a seal. At one time these were the privilege of nobility and would have been worn on a chain or kept in a purse. The Lord Privy Seal was historically the keeper of the monarch's personal seal.
Today, the most popular form of a seal is as a signet ring. This is normally in the form of a crest or a coat of arms. However, signet rings are often engraved with initials or a monogram. The coming of age, either at 18 or at 21, is an occasion when it is appropriate to give such a ring. To wear one's family crest marks a recognition of a family member and conveys a kinship between the owner and his or her family.
The engraving of a crest on a signet ring can be done in two ways. In order to use it as a seal it must be engraved in reverse so that the impression comes out as a positive image. If using on sealing wax, the seal should be moistened first to prevent the wax from sticking to the ring.
There are many options for the ring itself. It can be yellow or white gold, 18ct or 9ct. It can be platinum. It can be stone set with a variety of different hard stones of differing colours. It can be oval, round, cushion or many other shapes. The size of the ring will be chosen to suit the size of the hand on which it will be worn.
If you need any help or guidance in identifying your family crest we can help. The definitive book on the subject is Fairbairn's Crests. We have this wonderful two volume book in the office and would be delighted to guide you.


A great blue heron appears to be showing off by making a dramatic fly by statement as the egret in the background looks on. The egret doesn't appear to be tremendously impressed however, and likely feels he can do as good a job flying as the blue heron!
But in any case, the egret is probably just as happy that the great blue kept on going and didn't try to take over his prime fishing spot in the salt marsh as often happens.
Bellissimo questo airone blu, uno scatto fantastico!!!
Sono molto felice che ti è piaciuto questa foto Pat!
I love a show off and this blue heron certainly is a master! Great shot!
Oh he is such a show off out there!
Hey! You should look into adopting one! Ted and NC would love a big squawking bird that walks around and eats all their food!
YES! I'm so going to adopt one now. I'm looking for ways to spend more money on pet food, vet visits and overall maintenance. Fab idea!
That's exactly what I figured. Although… you might have a little trouble with litter box training but hey, that's all part of the fun!
We all keep our fingers crossed for you!
Thanks a million, good to know you enjoyed this shot!
I'm going Friday for an RFL procedure on my back and leg nerves so hopefully that solves some issues.
Thanks a million for the kind thoughts Dina, it's greatly appreciated.
Ha ha!! Phil, you think up the best verbal scenarios! Nice photo.
Well I'm really happy you enjoy all my goofy stories and photos! 😀 Thanks for checking them out!
I think that if I could fly, I'd occasionally buzz the tower or an egret just because I could.
Oh of course, that's exactly what you would do. Many times when a bald eagle buzzes a group of ducks and makes them all scatter in a panic I truly believe he is often doing it just for laughs because he can.
Awesome photo, great reading too!
Thanks a lot for your comment at my blog!
Thanks very much Hans, glad you enjoyed this photo!
I laughed at Lyle's comment because I had a similar thought. Would be great no? Command to the tower, I'm going in.
These guys sure are fun to watch and photograph!
Oh my, I wish you well, Phil. No fun being a nature photographer and being laid up. I hope you get well soon.
I'm getting around better now and that's good thing because I can't leave those poor little alligators out there alone with no one to take their picture.
Phil, I have been meaning to ask… do you go in the water in hip boots or always from shore? Plus, if on shore, how close do you get since the waters have alligators?
I really appreciate that Jan, thank you.
Places to go, people to see ………! I will be keeping my fingers (and everything else) crossed for you on Friday, Phil!
Thanks very much as always for your kind comments Maggie!
Thank you Sylvia, yes these guys really know what they are doing out there!
One in a million! Beautiful!
I appreciate that Andy, thank you!
Beautiful, perfect! Thank you, Phil!
It's so encouraging to see signs of spring in this photo – the GBH is wearing its breeding color beak – both top and bottom bill bright orange! I love to see that, especially when we still have some snow still on the ground here! Thanks for posting this be Phil.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this photo, thanks so much!
Indeed, not to mention Spoonie! How will he know it's the right marsh if you're not there to greet him upon his return this spring?!
Beautiful! And best wishes for Friday and that it brings some relief.
Mr. GBH is really showing up that egret!
Friday's procedure went fairly well, I'm just hoping it provides some benefit. Still too early to really tell.
Here it is a week later and I'm still a little sore and I'll find out on Monday how normal that is.

How to make work docker inside ubuntu container? Do you have ideas?
ps. I know about docker-in-docker, I need exactly docker inside ubuntu-container
pss. I know about -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock - but needed independent the docker service inside ubuntu-container.

A: When running docker in docker, the container must use the docker engine on your host.
Here is a simple working setup:
1) Create a dockerfile with docker CLI installed. I am using the official compose image, so you also have docker-compose
FROM docker/compose:1.25.5
WORKDIR /app
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/sh"]

2) When running it, mount the docker sock
$ docker build -t dind .
$ docker run --rm -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock dind

Form within the container, you now have docker. Try running docker ps

A: If you want to do docker in docker without -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock then I am afraid that there is no good way to do this.
Sharing the docker socket from host is the classic way to make docker containers run within another docker container.

Where can I download Windows Vista Home Premium?
I am using Windows 7 on my Vaio laptop, but I'm not happy with it. I have the product key for Windows Vista Home Premium but I have no disk. Is there a place to download it?
As others have said, you may be able to find in on BitTorrent, or even as a "regular" download somewhere, but you are exposing yourself to risks both legally and in terms of viruses or a maliciously hacked copy. You could probably buy a copy of Vista on eBay (discs without licence numbers usually sell for next to nothing), or best, borrow the disc from someone else and copy it.
However, I can't see any reason why Vista would give you a better user experience than Windows 7, as Windows 7 is essentially Vista with the bugs taken out!
If you want to know if a file is infected from a torrent site RUN A SCAN on the software, Simple as that. If you trust your malware/anti-virus software than this should be sufficient. I do this and sometimes i find un-infected software sometimes i find infected software. But its that simple. As far as legal implication's all torrents are illegal. But so is downloading P2P mp3's of the internet. Who's stopping them, no-one, and who does this, everyone.
Sorry Oron i meant to post in-directly.
i have the windows vista product key but no disc. is there a way i can make my own disc from my computer?
as you will you use your own key, and just use the setup file to install it.
it is ok to do it.
Torrents tend to be spiked with malware and alot of other garbage.
May be, but it depends upon the uploader, what he uploads, torrents are not virus, they are just a medium of downloading files, it is the data which matters and not the medium, same malware and garbage can be on a direct download site or a friend's pen-drive.
It is a misconception that all the torrents have malware, the possibility of downloading infected data from torrents is the same as any other direct download site or any other source.
however sharing of ip address and irregular download speeds are the drawbacks of torrents.
the reason behind suggesting torrents was they are easily available, so you don't have to search much.
Not all torrents are viruses, but most are. I have made a mint removing viruses from peoples computers because of P2P software. I have actually seen several Windows ISO off of torrents that have all kind of malware preinstalled.
in case, you want to find possible clean torrents, you can check the skull symbol of uoloaders at thepiratebay, trusted means less possibility of infected data.
I'm not sure why you think torrents wont be around much longer. I agree usenet will always be there as its anonymous and awesome, but why do you think torrents wont? Is there a better p2p alternative you think will gain ground? Just becuase the content is illegal doesn't mean it can be stopped.
Oh, it can be stopped, that is a certainty.
Just my opinion of course, but More and More companies are yelling fowl, companies with very deep pockets. Something is eventually going to change, The Gov. and Feds are taking a lot closer look at it than they use to.
Also, if most people knew how easy if was to get into computers with P2P software installed, I dought most would use those networks.
They outlawed booze at one time,it is still around. How long have the "Drug Wars" been going on? Still on plenty of corners.
Things that are popular with a large percentage of the general population don't go away very easily.
I did not mean outlaw it, there are easier ways that that to control the internet. Especially when the US gov. has all the cards.
Torrents cannot possibly be stopped.If they could, they would already have done. What do you think the US government is waiting for?
In my opinion, they would need the backing of several companies and public organizations. The means to stop it is there, they would have to choose to. I dislike torrents because of the malware, but I dislike losing freedoms even more. I don't want to see torrent disappear, but it will happen.
That said it may just be replace by the next big thing, who knows.
Hello, let me ask you a question, Was Vista Home Premium originally installed in your laptop? Even if the answer is yes, and you have the vista home premium license that originally came with your laptop wouldn't help in installing Vista Again. The reason I say this, is because your license is/was tied with the vista home premium installation and recovery partition that came with you laptop. Even if you get a Vista installation disk and try to install it in your laptop you are out of luck, you can not use the same license. The only way you could accomplish what you want is if your recovery partition is still in your laptop and it is intact. Also, you could probably ask the system's manufacturer to send a disk that would reinstall the original version that came with it.
With regards to being unhappy with windows 7, I am pretty sure that you would be even more unhappy with Vista. I am also sure that to find a version of Vista Home Premium, the only thing you have to do is search online. The question you have to ask yourself when getting a file like that is: Has it been changed in any way? Do I risk running it?

Retailers Restricting Returns
By Brian Dakss
December 16, 2005 / 10:50 AM / CBS
This holiday season might not be so jolly for shoppers trying to return presents.
The Early Show consumer correspondent Susan Koeppen reports a number of major retailers are tightening their policies regarding returned items.
Retailers say fraud involving returns costs stores $16 billion dollars a year, so more and more chains are fighting back with policies and practices that make it tougher to return things.
They're shortening the time you have to return items after they're bought, hitting customers with hefty "restocking fees" on returned items, and cracking down on "serial returners" with new, sophisticated computer tracking equipment.
"Serial returners," Koeppen explains, try to beat the system by returning items that have already been opened and used, or return multiple products.
Electronic items are of particular concern, she points out. Retailers have put new restrictions on the return of electronics products such as computers, digital cameras, and music players, because they say electronics make up the bulk of return fraud cases around the holidays.
This fall, Sears began imposing a restocking fee of 15 percent of the purchase price on all electronics products that are returned after they've been used, or with missing parts or manuals. And while they give you 90 days to return other products, you now have only 30 days to return electronics items.
Many major retailers are even using hi-tech computer systems that track every return you make, and put a red flag on serial returners.
For instance, Wal-Mart has a system that automatically flags customers who try to return more than 3 items without receipts in a 45 day period. If you surpass that limit, they won't accept your returns. If you don't make any returns without a receipt within a six month period, the red flag goes away.
So, to make returning items easier, Koeppen advises that you always ask about the store's return policies. And remember, those policies can be vary for different kinds of products. In addition, policies may be different for items bought in stores and those bought online. And you should check the time frame you have to return specific items. Ask about restocking fees. And try to return products unopened, in their original packaging.
One more tip from Koeppen, this one about gift receipts. She calls them "a great idea" but says, when she gives a gift to someone, she includes the original receipt as well. If all they have is a gift receipt, they may not be able to get the full purchase price back on a return.

Jeffrey Kluger, editor-at-large at Time magazine, recounts the human landmark of landing men on the lunar surface. Kluger talks with Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins and astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and, in archive footage, hears from mission commander Neil Armstrong about the achievement of the first Moon landing, and of the "magnificent desolation" they found there.

Author Colson Whitehead won a Pulitzer Prize for his bestselling 2016 novel "The Underground Railroad." He talks with Lee Cowan about his latest novel, "The Nickel Boys," a fictional tale of cruelty and trauma based on the notorious Alfred G. Dozer School for Boys outside Tallahassee, where the neglect and abuse of children was rampant for decades.
When NASA needed a lunar spacesuit for the Apollo astronauts, they turned to the International Latex Corporation, and a cadre of women who normally sewed latex bras and girdles, to create a softer, more flexible spacesuit. Tracy Smith talked with some of the seamstresses who fashioned protective wear that would mean life or death for men in space, and with Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt who was the last man to walk, and jump, on the lunar surface.
When Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, nearly half of the country's 57 million TVs were tuned to CBS's anchored by Walter Cronkite. Martha Teichner reports on the epochal event through the lens of Cronkite's enthusiastic reportage.
A recent New York City art exhibition, now at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, explores the importance of black models as key to the development of 19th and 20th century art, through their representations by French and American artists (including Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Frederic Bazille and Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault). Nancy Giles talks with curator Denise Murrell about how the Harlem Renaissance influenced painters such as Henri Matisse, and with Brooklyn artist Mickalene Thomas about black figures in art at a time of social and political transformation.

AstraZeneca hit by safety concerns over cholesterol drug
LARGER CAPITALISATION SHARES
By Nick Hasell
Saturday February 26 2005, 12.00am, The Times
ASTRAZENECA was left with the worst fall in the FTSE 100 as safety concerns prompted stockbrokers to cut their sales forecasts for the Anglo- Swedish drug maker's Crestor cholesterol treatment.
The status of Crestor as a potential $4 billion-a-year blockbuster was severely dented last November when a veteran US Food and Drug Administration official cited the drug as one of five medicines that needed closer safety scrutiny. More recently Sir Tom McKillop, AZ's chief executive, acknowledged that such concerns could slow its take-up.
But Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Goldman Sachs went one step further yesterday by sharply reducing their forecasts for Crestor on doubts that the drug would stage a significant recovery. The German broker, which repeated its "sell" recommendation on the shares, now expects

Ralph Germann's Linear ROFR House Acts as a Shield for the Swiss Slopes Above
At the foothills of a grand mountain range in the Sion region of Switzerland is Ralph Germann's latest residential project, the ROFR house. The contemporary home's linear design is inspired by its incredible natural surroundings. The architects imagined the structure to be a wall that acts as a barrier to protect the slopes looming above it.
Gray was selected as the exterior color to symbolize a protective rock. The area is a seismic zone, so the home is made from concrete. The roof was made completely flat to fit as many solar panels as possible – there are so many that they are able to power both the home and the owners' electric cars.
Though it appears to be a single structure, the home is actually divided into two distinct areas. One is a large living area, while the other almost acts as a two-level apartment.
The upper level features a terrace, kitchen, living space with a large fireplace, and a dramatic concrete hallway that leads to the rest of the rooms.
A massive window in the living area looks out onto the home's breathtaking mountain surroundings.
On the ground level, a luxurious wine cave and cheese cellar are luxurious attractions.
The entrance of the home is through the garage. Germann believes garages will become obsolete in the future since electric cars do not require gas. Therefore, if the cars are parked outside, the garage can be transformed into an extra living space down the line.

Not Great Weather for Our Garden
by Nick Mann March 22, 2013
Spring in Somerset
Looking at our garden you'd never know it was spring. It's a smidge ironic that global warming seems to have resulted in tempest and deluge in this corner of the globe over the last few years. We have been struggling to build a new house over the last year, and now the weather is making even the landscaping damn near impossible. That's even with jolly wetland and pond features - swales and ditches and bogs and overflows. The (heavy clay) soil is completely unworkable. Some of it has turned into Glastonbury gloop. Even where it hasn't I can't dig it manually, let alone get machines on it. I'm trying to sow green manure in the swamp that will be our back garden to improve things.
Our wildflower seed has arrived for the (wetland) meadow areas. Ha ha. No chance of anything even germinating in these temperatures. Friends of mine locally are just giving up on their gardens. It's probably sensible ahead of the spring proper, which when it does finally arrive will feature two months of drought before the cricket season starts in earnest. Cue Biblical downpours again. I suppose this extreme weather is gratifying for us in a way, as we're building a stunning new house to deal with it. In the garden, though, we need help. Perhaps it's time for the gardening Press to scrap all those articles and programmes about Mediterranean planting and address the issues we're actually confronted with as gardeners. If the weather here is getting more extreme rather than warmer as a result of global warming could we have some help in dealing with it? I have no idea how to tackle our land - no idea at all - and I can find no advice other than the helpful observation that roses like heavy clay. WTF? as the youth of today might say. In the meantime, here's a cheery tune about the weather here for the youth of yesteryear. Perhaps it hasn't hasn't changed much over the last 60 years after all.

Q: Are numeric and associative arrays in PHP two different things? This is a deeper dive into a previous question I had here: Can items in PHP associative arrays not be accessed numerically (i.e. by index)?
According to W3Schools, :

In PHP, there are three kind of
  arrays:

*

*Numeric array - An array with a numeric index

*Associative array - An array where each ID key is associated with a value

*Multidimensional array - An array containing one or more arrays

But is this accurate?  Each element in the array can be assigned either an index or a string as a key- so what happens when the two are mixed in the same array?
$myArray[0] = 'value1';
$myArray['one'] = 'value2';

A: All arrays in PHP are the same; they're implemented as hash maps which associate keys to values, whatever type the keys may be.
Manual:

The indexed and associative array types are the same type in PHP, which can both contain integer and string indices.

If an array had both numeric and non-numeric indices, though, I'd still call it an associative array. The meaning of "associative" still stands.
Wikipedia:

An associative array is an abstract data type composed of a collection of unique keys and a collection of values, where each key is associated with one value (or set of values).
...
From the perspective of a computer programmer, an associative array can be viewed as a generalization of an array. While a regular array maps an integer key (index) to a value of arbitrary data type, an associative array's keys can also be arbitrarily typed. In some programming languages, such as Python, the keys of an associative array do not even need to be of the same type.

For the last sentence, the same applies for PHP, as shown in your example.

A: PHP doesn't really have arrays. They are dictionaries. Numeric keys are allowed at the same time as string keys. They can be mixed and do coexist.
(Actually string keys like "123" are always treated as integers. PHP does not keep the type information for them.)
If you want a different behaviour you could implement and extend ArrayObject however. And it would be possible to implement a map, where numeric keys functioned as alias to string indexes.

A: In general, you should read the official documentation rather than W3Schools.
An array can contain whatever members it wants with whatever keys it wants.
The description provided by W3Schools is quite ambiguous, or even wrong.

*

*Numeric array - An array with a numeric index

I'd say a numeric array is an array with only integer indexes. An array with one I'd probably call a mixed (or associative, see below) array, if I had to call it anything.

*

*Associative array - An array where each ID key is associated with a value.

I don't know about that description. I'd say an array can be associative if it maps strings to values instead of numerical indexes.

*

*Multidimensional array - An array containing one or more arraysNumeric array - An array with a numeric index

An associative array can contain arrays too, which makes it multidimensional.
Keep in mind that an array with all numeric keys (even if in a string) will always be treated as a numeric array. This can mean different things in different contexts.
$arr = array(
 '1' => 'abc',
 2 => 'def'
);

var_dump($arr);

Output
array(2) {
  [1]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "def"
}

A: You get an associative array. Try this code:
$myArray[0] = 'value1';
$myArray['one'] = 'value2';

echo($myArray[1]);

See? It doesn't echo anything.

A: Something inportant to note about a PHP well ordered numerical array versus a un-ordered numerical PHP array where the order is not respected (3, 1, 2, 0 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3 ...) is when you are working with an API returning JSON payloads. On the client side, e.g a client written in Javascript, and if you're expecting an array and not an object you could have some difficulties. That's why sometime, on the PHP side, you can see something as follows being returned :
return array_values($array);


If you're still struggling, sometimes the best thing to do is to start over from fresh, and that means each of the three elements that Cocoon needs to work such as the Wifi, your smartphone and your Cocoon.
Reboot your Wifi router simply by turning off and on again. This takes a few minutes to come back online so move onto your smartphone next.
Delete the app (Android 6 and above will need to clear the cache also), and then reboot your smartphone. When powered back on, download the app again.
You'll now be ready to attempt pairing once more, ensuring that your Cocoon and router are in close proximity, that your smartphone's volume is on full, and plays directly in front of your Cocoon.
If you've tried both basic and advanced steps and are still unable to set up your Cocoon, the next thing to check would be your router and modem configuration. This will involve accessing your router's settings interface, so we'd recommend checking online with your router manufacturer (or your ISP if they supplied your router) for advice on how to do this.
2.4GHz band - Check the bandwidth that your smartphone is connected to is either exclusively 2.4GHz, or a dual band signal with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Security - Out of principal we'd recommend using the highest level of security your router settings can allow, and most modern routers will use WPA2-PSK AES/TKIP.
Port-forwarding - Network configuring for specific devices such as games consoles can sometimes create accidental blockages elsewhere. It's worth checking your settings to see if this could be a cause.
Multiple access points - If you have Wifi extenders it may be advantageous to disable these if encountering setup issues to ensure to rule out any potential blockage.
Updating your router - You can usually check on your router's firmware within your router settings interface, and upgrade/update through the on-screen options.
Resetting your router - This is a drastic last step that will wipe your router's current configuration returning it to its factory settings, including the password and network name (SSID), so you may have to reconfigure your connected devices follow the reset. You'll have to check your manufacturer's/ISP's instructions to undertake this as all routers are different.
How do I reset my Cocoon?
What does the LED colour on my Cocoon mean?

Canyon Lake History
Photo of Canyon Lake
CANYON LAKE, TEXAS. Water impoundment began in 1964 and the conservation pool level was reached in 1968. Canyon Lake, formerly known as Canyon Reservoir, is on the Guadalupe River twelve miles northwest of New Braunfels in northern Comal County (at 29°52' N, 98°12' W). The project is owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. The local cooperative agency is the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority,qv which, for paying part of the cost, has rights to the conservation storage space and control over the use and release of conservation water. The lake, formed by a rolled earthfill dam 6,830 feet long, is used for flood control, water conservation, and recreation. Construction of the dam was started on June 27, 1958, and impoundment of water began on June 16, 1964. The general contractor was Tecon Corporation of Dallas. The crest of the spillway is 943 feet above mean sea level, and the conservation storage capacity is 382,000 acre-feet with a surface area of 8,240 acres and a sixty-mile shoreline at 909 feet above mean sea level. Stored water is used for municipal, industrial, and irrigation purposes and for the development of hydroelectric power downstream. The drainage area above the dam is 1,432 square miles.

The construction of the dam and subsequent growth of the area surrounding the lake are among the most significant developments in twentieth-century Comal County history. Inundating a portion of the Guadalupe River valley cost the area productive farm and ranch land as well as two rural communities-Cranes Mill and Hancock-but it also stimulated development that transformed the economy and demography of the county. After the lake was filled north central Comal County became one of the largest population centers in Central Texas and the focus of a resort and tourist industry that rivaled manufacturing and agriculture in importance to the county economy. The dam made possible land development along the lake shore and in the area downstream, which for the first time was protected from periodic flooding. Even as the lake was filling, the first residential subdivisions-including Canyon Lake Hills and Canyon Lake Village-began attracting permanent and temporary residents. By 1967 there were forty-six subdivisions on the shores of Canyon Lake and fourteen more in the hills surrounding it. By the mid-1980s more than eighty neighborhoods had been built, and estimates of the permanent population of the lake area ranged from 12,000 to 15,000. Seven lakeside public parks and two public marinas served thousands of weekend visitors. Residents and tourists supported a variety of new businesses and service industries that transformed the former farm and ranch communities of Sattler and Startzville into thriving commercial centers and occasioned the new town of Canyon City. In the late 1980s two schools and thirteen churches served the permanent residents of the lake area. The Canyon Lake community, forty-eight miles from San Antonio and fifty-six from Austin, continued to attract new commuter, retired, and weekend residents.
CRANES MILL, TEXAS. Cranes Mill, a stock-raising community seventeen miles northwest of New Braunfels in central Comal County, was named for J. B. Crain, who built a mill at the Gum Spring crossing on the Guadalupe River in the early 1850s. The spelling became Crane when a post office was established there before the Civil War.qv Postal service to Cranes Mill may have been interrupted just after the war, but by 1872 August Engel, a minister, teacher, and storeowner, ran the community's post office in his store. His son succeeded him and was postmaster there until the rural mail route from Fischer's Store was established. The Cranes Mill community recorded a population of twenty-five until the 1940s. The Cranes Mill school was eventually consolidated with a nearby school district. The remains of the town disappeared under Canyon Lake when it began filling in the 1960s, but in the 1980s a lakeside park still carried the name Cranes Mill.
HANCOCK, TEXAS (Comal County). Hancock, in the Hancock Valley fifteen miles northeast of New Braunfels in northern Comal County, was named for John Hancock, who in 1851 was granted land on the north bank of the Guadalupe River. The community was served by the Sorrell Creek school. The Hancock post office opened in 1914 in a private residence, operated later in the Frank Guenther store, and then was discontinued. In 1940 the farming and ranching community had a population of ten and was on a postal route from Fischer Store. The town grew to forty residents in the 1950s, but in the early 1960s when the Canyon Lake dam was completed, the townsite was submerged.
POTTER CREEK. Potter Creek rises near Big Head Mountain in northern Comal County (at 29°58' N, 98°17' W) and flows southeasterly for 4½ miles to its mouth on Canyon Lake on the Guadalupe River (at 29°55' N, 98°15' W). It crosses an area of the Balcones Escarpment characterized by limestone benches and steep slopes that give a stairstep appearance to the landscape along the creek. Soil in the area is generally dark, calcareous stony clay and clay loam with rock outcroppings, and vegetation consists primarily of live oak and Ashe juniper woods. It is likely that the creek was named for Michael W. Potter, a local landowner. From 1875 to 1888 the stream was the site of a school, Potter Creek School, that served the nearby community of Fischer's Store (now known simply as Fischer).
REBECCA CREEK. Rebecca Creek rises in southeastern Blanco County (at 29°58' N, 98°25' W) 10½ miles south of Blanco and runs southeast for about eight miles to its mouth (at 29°55' N, 98°20' W) on the western edge of Canyon Lake on the Guadalupe River. Springs and several ponds, most dammed, lie along its course, which crosses an area of the Balcones Escarpmentqv characterized by steep slopes and limestone benches, giving a stairstep look to the landscape along the creek. Soils in the area are generally dark, calcareous, stony clays and clay loams with rock outcrops, and vegetation consists primarily of live oak and Ashe juniper woods. The creek was named for Jacob Raphael de Cordova'sqv wife, Rebecca, late in the 1840s.
SATTLER, TEXAS. Sattler, ten miles northwest of New Braunfels in the hills of east central Comal County, has also been known as Mountain Valley, for the local school, and as Walhalla, for the Walhalla Singing Club organized there in 1877. The post office was named for William Sattler when it opened in his home in 1856. Sattler had settled in Comal Town in 1846 and at Mountain Valley in 1853. Later the post office was moved to a general store, which became a business and social center for area farmers and ranchers. Part of the Sattler community extended into Hidden Valley, which was settled in 1863. The valley comprised more than 1,000 acres of farmland on the west bank of a bend in the Guadalupe River. Sattler had an estimated twenty-five residents until shortly after World War II.qv Records suggest it was virtually deserted by the 1950s; its revival in the mid-1960s followed the completion of nearby Canyon Dam and the inundation of the valley above Sattler. Thereafter Sattler served residents and tourists of the Canyon Lake area. Its population was estimated at thirty in 1990.
STARTZVILLE, TEXAS. Startzville is on Farm Road 2673 thirteen miles northeast of New Braunfels in central Comal County. It was established in 1935 by members of the Startz family, who built a small store. With the completion of nearby Canyon Dam in 1964, the community began to grow. Although the population of Startzville proper was estimated at only thirty in 1966, much of the land near the lake was developed as residential subdivisions. Several businesses were established at Startzville to serve the general population of the Canyon Lake region. The community had a population of thirty in 1990.

Home » News & Updates » Celebrations Galore!
From mid-February thru the beginning of March Gobind Sadan felt like one continous celebration. Starting with the joint seminar on "Mysticism in World Religions" co-hosted by Jamia Millia Islamia, one of India's leading universities, and the regions leading center of Islamic studies, and the Gobind Sadan Institute for Advanced Studies in World Religions. The sessions ably convened and organized by Marypat Fisher and Dr. Azad Faruqi, saw scholars and practitioners from 10 different faith traditions speak of the practices and the state of mysticism their personal life, their academic discplines, and their religious communities. Once published the papers will delight audiences all over the world as they did the several hundred gathered for most sessions. All talks were recorded and we hope to have them live shortly. The text of Ralph Singh's keynote address: "The Forgotten Path: Accessing the Mystical in our Traditions," is available online.
Babaji's birthday celebration started with 7 Akhand Paths, followed by the special havan at Angeetha Sahib. The Gurdaspur Sangat, over 100 strong, lead by S. Joginder Singh, arrived early and began their kirtan in the dera. Following the bhog, we had a wonderful gathering in the celebration hall of poetry, kirtan, and talks including Gobind Sadan's own kirtan jethas, and Faridi a young kawal from Faridkot district, and Baba Jarnail Singh of Baghtala. Singh Sahib Giani Iqbal Singh, Jethadar of Siri Takhat Patna Sahib, graced the occasion. Expect more updates – see photo gallery
Finally area Muslim's were joined by the Gobind Sadan community to celebrate the Prophets birthday at Gobind Sadan's mosque. 100s gathered to hear stories of the life of the Prophet (PBUH), wonderfully poetry, and praise for the vision of Baba Virsa Singh to create a mosque in Gobind Sadan where all people can come together in such celebrations of the messengers of peace.


Annual house price growth in the UK slowed to just 0.5% in 2018, down from 2.6% in 2017, the weakest pace since February 2017, according to the latest lender index to be published.
Month on month prices fell by 0.7% in December, taking the average price of a home to £212,281, the data from the Nationwide also shows.
A breakdown of the figures show that the strongest growth in 2018 was in Northern Ireland with a rise of 5.8%, followed by Wales, up 4%. Prices in Scotland rose by 0.9% during the year and in England by 0.7%.
One of the more prominent regional trends in 2018 was the further narrowing of the North/South house price divide in England. Price growth in London, the South East, East Anglia, and the South West moderated throughout the year, while in the North West, the North East, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire and Humberside, price growth remained broadly stable in the 3% to 4% range.
'This trend was not entirely unexpected, however, as it followed several years of sustained outperformance by the South, especially London, which left affordability more stretched in these areas,' said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist.
He pointed out that even although house prices have been rising more quickly in the North of England since the second quarter of 2017, price levels are still significantly higher in the South. Indeed, the price of a typical home in the South of England at £329,240 is still almost double that in the North at £166,642.
He also pointed out that although annual house prices growth has slowed considerably this was not unexpected and at 0.5% is in line with our expectations a year ago that it would be around 1%.
'Indicators of housing market activity, such as the number of property transactions and the number of mortgages approved for house purchases, have remained broadly stable in recent months, but forward looking indicators had suggested some softening was likely,' said Gardner.
'In particular, measures of consumer confidence weakened in December and surveyors reported a further fall in new buyer enquiries towards the end of the year. While the number of properties coming onto the market also slowed, this doesn't appear to have been enough to prevent a modest shift in the balance of demand and supply in favour of buyers,' he explained.
'It is likely that the recent slowdown is attributable to the impact of the uncertain economic outlook on buyer sentiment, given that it has occurred against a backdrop of solid employment growth, stronger wage growth and continued low borrowing costs,' he added.
He believes that near term prospects will be heavily dependent on how quickly the uncertainty lifts, but ultimately the outlook for the housing market and house prices will be determined by the performance of the wider economy, especially the labour market.
'The economic outlook is unusually uncertain. However, if the economy continues to grow at a modest pace, with the unemployment rate and borrowing costs remaining close to current levels, we would expect UK house prices to rise at a low single digit pace in 2019,' he concluded.


The Karnataka Forest Department has set up 10 artificial 'floating islands' in Madiwala Lake, one of the oldest lakes in Bengaluru's southern section.
A report by the Bangalore Mirror describes these islands as raft-like structures that are built with PVC and PET bottles as the frame and mesh and coir as the actual body. The 'islands' are fitted with plants that absorb chemicals like nitrates from the water, reducing their concentration.
The KFD decided to adopt this technique after seeing several examples of it being used to clean waterbodies around the world. The benefits of these 'islands' includes helping control algae bloom by means of absorbing the nutrients that come into waterbodies through sewage. In addition, these can act as resting grounds for birds, low-cost and are easy to maintain.
In Bengaluru, Puttenahalli and Hebbagodi lakes have been exposed to this form of treatment and have responded well to it, the report states, quoting Harshavardhan, Additional Conservator of Forest, Bengaluru Urban Division.
The WWF is also part of the initiative and they have conducted extensive research on the quality of water in the lake and the birds that frequent it.
The report says the plants used in the 'islands' are Typha and Canna, two genera of flowering plants, to absorb the nutrients. The KFD is responsible for maintaining the islands and is planning on extending this program to other lakes.


How To Catch Big Bass In Cold Water With Spinnerbaits – How to Catch Smallmouth Bass!
Bass fishing with spinnerbaits is one of the most exciting ways to catch big bass! A spinnerbait is a very productive lure in most conditions.
However, many anglers shy away from them when the weather gets cold. You are about to learn that this doesn't have to be the case, and you can out fish your friends in cold water using a bait that they will have left out of their tackle box!
It is very important to get your set up right when hunting large bass in the cold water. You need a rod with a medium/heavy rod, and a pretty soft tip that will allow you to feel the bait during your retrieve.
For the reel, you will want a 5.1 ratio casting reel. This type of reel will allow you to slow the bait down to the necessary speed to attract the fish from their cover.
For your line, we suggest a heavy braid. Don't be afraid to get really heavy with your braid. Try something in the 60-65 lb. test range. When it's really cold, and the water is stained, the added size of the line will not be a factor.
To be sure the line is not a factor, we also suggest getting a 20 lb. test fluorocarbon line, and tying a good two foot leader to your braid. This will ensure that the fish only see your bait, and line becomes even less of a concern.
The blade is the most important part of your bait to understand. When the weather is really cold, we highly suggest a double Indiana blade.
As the weather warms a little, but is still fairly cold, you can move to a tandem blade set up. Go with a small Indiana blade, and a larger willow blade.
When spring time hits, it is the perfect time to go with a double willow blade. Understanding when and where to use these blades will be a key factor in your success catching big fish with spinnerbaits.
Remember now, the water is cold. Bass will not be very active, and they will be relating to structure. Usually, they will be at or near the bottom of the water column, and you need to get your bait in the strike zone and keep it there.
If you have the set up right, and you've chosen the right blades for your lure, this will be much easier.
When you are retrieving the bait, you want it so close to the bottom that it kicks up a dirt trail. This will require a slow roll retrieve. Make sure to cast your bait past the piece of cover that you are trying to target. Don't throw directly on top, as this will spook the fish and keep them from biting.
You also need to be very aware of what is happening with your bait under the surface. Since you are retrieving so slowly, and you are so near the bottom, it is very easy to get hooked up on a stick or other type of cover. When you feel that start to happen, you need to reel just a little faster for a short period of time.
This is why the rod tip sensitivity is so important.


Vitamins are a big asset in people's lives today. Not having enough energy, sleeping longer than you should, not sleeping enough, and even having too much stress are some of the main problems people face on a daily basis. Having trouble taking your vitamins? Need an easier way to get the right vitamins each and every day? Whether it's taking hard to swallow pills or capsules, suffer no more. Liquid Health Inc. makes it easier to get the daily recommended amount of vitamins in an easy to consume serving size.
Liquid Health is in the process of starting 2012 with 5 new liquid health supplements. We are using multimedia and social media to interact with our customers like never before.
Liquid Health Inc. has made it easier to provide the essential vitamins that everyone needs in a liquid form. With more than 20 years of liquid vitamin experience, and being GMP certified, Liquid Health Inc. is finding new ways to change the way vitamins are made. When Liquid Health Inc. is hunting down ideas to better improve formulas they are also finding out ways to consume less power and go green. In the past year alone, they have reported, changing out all network equipment and telephone services. Liquid Health has switched to technology that is 20-30% greener and uses less power than their previous technology. Liquid Health Inc. is aiming to launch new products in 2012 to further their line of products, Brett Peterson Director of Business Development has said, "Liquid Health is in the process of starting 2012 with 5 new liquid health supplements. We are using multimedia and social media to interact with our customers like never before." With the new launch of the immune balance 365 launched in late 2011 Liquid Health realized the need for more liquid products in the market place. Liquid Health reports that they receive hundreds of requests for new and exciting products each month. Starting with a new and improved weight loss product in first quarter of 2012 Liquid Health will launch 4 other new products during the first half of this year. During this down economy Liquid Health has noticed an increase in demand for their products, with large retailers requesting Liquid Health to increase their manufacturing capacity to keep up with the demand for their quality line of natural products.
A new study reveals a reduction in memory loss also may be linked to helping with Alzheimer's disease. According to Dr. Oz, "Vitamin B-12 fights fatigue and weakness by supporting the circulatory system and protecting against deficiency of vitamins necessary for energy production within the body". Liquid Health Inc. created vitamin B-12 drops, using Methylcobalamin, to help those that may be vitamin B-12 deficient. Vitamin B-12 Drops comes in a 59 ml bottle with a 1ml shot a day as a serving size. This one single milliliter will provide you with 2,500 mcg of Methylcobalamin Vitamin B12 which is 41,667% of the daily recommended intake.
With your immune system in mind, Liquid Health developed Immune Balance 365 an immune system support supplement meant to balance your immune system. There are 365 days in a year so why worry about a compromised immune system? Immune Balance 365 is a product from Liquid Health to help maintain your immune system and bring it into balance. Immune balance 365 contains Nutraflora ScFos, a "prebiotic" or food for the desirable or "good" intestinal bacteria. Bernhard Watzl, Ph.D has said some great things about Nutraflora ScFos, "Natural prebiotic's feed and fortify rather than destroy the beneficial bacteria in your intestines, thus maintaining a strong barrier against opportunistic disease and diarrhea".
Having Liquid options for vitamins and minerals is especially helpful to anyone that has trouble with pills and capsules. Health should not be difficult to maintain. The products designed to maintain your health shouldn't be difficult to take either, that's why Liquid Health's supplements should be added to your diet.

Australian Paralympic athletes Michael Roeger and Jaryd Clifford have broken the world records in their respective classes at the Tokyo Games qualifying marathon in Sydney.
Roeger ran a time of 2:18.52, taking 40 seconds off his previous PB
Clifford clocked 2:19:08 in his marathon debut
He is likely to focus only on the 1,500m and 5,000m at the Tokyo Paralympics
Roeger recorded his fourth consecutive marathon world record in the T46 class with a time of two hours, 18 minutes and 52 seconds, slashing 40 seconds off his personal best.
The 32-year-old is the hot favourite to win marathon gold at the Tokyo Paralympics in August.
"I wasn't quite confident in that last six kilometres," said Roeger, whose previous marathon was in Houston back in January 2020.
"My legs were cramping but I just had to hold it together.
"Now I've got 2:18 next to my name and that's giving me loads of confidence in these last few months of training.
"I'll now reset and respect the distance and then do the Gold Coast half marathon.
"Then it's all roads to Tokyo."
On his marathon debut, the versatile Clifford was stunned to clock 2:19:08 in the T12 class for vision-impaired athletes.
He entered the race as a pacemaker for Roeger but was able to complete the distance in style, stripping almost two and a half minutes off the previous world record set by El Amin Chentouf of Morocco in 2015.
"I came out here and just wanted to get Roegs as far as possible," Clifford said.
"I think he asked me at 15 kilometres how many laps I had left in me, and I think I said I had two.
"Then I had one more, and then another.
"I feel a bit silly upon reflection, but I think psychologically all I was doing throughout the race was focus on Roegs who is going for the gold medal at the Paralympics in Tokyo."
Despite his stunning run on Sunday, Clifford still intends to focus on the 1,500m and 5,000m at the Tokyo Paralympics.

I love the fall. The weather here has been beautiful. Cool and windy and not a lot of rain. The colors are incredible! Here are a couple things coming out of the kitchen right now. I accidentally put the oven on broil instead of bake! Grrrr……But the bread flipped over looked and tasted great.
roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds with a dash of tamari.
Just go for it and make it taste good to you!
As for the banana bread. The recipe is from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess. But no raisins. Bleck. Read below for recipe. I like this banana bread even more the next day. It's so moist, but I still love to slather it with butter or cream cheese. Hmmm…. how many weight watcher points would that be?
Put the sultanas and rum or bourbon in a smallish saucepan and bring to the boil.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar and beat until blended. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the mashed bananas. Then, with your wooden spoon, stir in the walnuts, drained sultanas and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, stirring well after each bit. Scrape into the loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 1-11/4 hours. When it's ready, an inserted toothpick or fine skewer should come out cleanish. Leave in the tin on a rack to cool, and eat thickly or thinly sliced, as you prefer.
And last but not least is our Henry also loving fall……before it turned to winter last night! We just had our first hard frost.
Wow, what wonderful recipes. thank you for sharing them!
