Killie's Prodigal Son Could Seal Top 6 Finish
Alexei Eremenko – The key man?
As the eyes and ears of Scottish football fans turned towards Parkhead in expectance of an injection of excitement to the transfer window in this Scotland; the attention turned to the Ayrshire coast as Finnish international Alexei Eremenko secured an unexpected switch back to Kilmarnock.
Killie's talisman playmaker of the 2010-2011 season joined Allan Johnstone's men until the end of the season, and his technical ability has sparked hopes of a top six finish, as well as a bit more excitement in general at Rugby Park.
First time around, it was then manager Mixu Paatelainen who used his homeland contacts to procure Eremenko on loan from Metalist Kharkiv. The midfield dynamo wasted little time in making his mark, scoring the winner on his debut against St Mirren with a tantalising free kick.
After the match, Eremenko said: " I made some good passes at the start of the game which gave me confidence. It was an okay performance from me, but I can even play much better than this."
He wasn't kidding. Eremenko went on to light up what was then the SPL, carving out a place in Scottish football folklore as potentially the most gifted player to grace a Kilmarnock shirt in 20 years. He scored a handful of goals that season, and transformed Killie's attacking play with his ability to split defences with precision passes.
His skills drew crowds and plaudits, so much so that both Celtic and Rangers made enquiries about acquiring the player's services. A big money move to Rubin Kazan ensued, but he failed to hold down a place in the team, presumably as a result of the options available thanks to the club's vast wealth.
Eremenko's record for the Finland national team (59 caps and 14 goals) also proves that the silky flair player can perform at the highest level, and now has invaluable experience that would benefit any club in Scotland.
Killie currently sit 8th in the SPFL. They've had an inconsistent season so far, and are widely considered as safe from relegation, but with Kris Boyd having netted 15 times so far, the introduction of an attacking playmaker like Eremenko could push him up over the 20 goal mark, and move Killie into the top half of the table.
With any luck Eremenko's return will bring about an increase in crowds at Rugby Park, but at the very least, his sublime skills will improve the profile of our league overall.
During his last loan spell, Eremenko helped guide the Ayrshire club to a comfortable 5th placed finish in the SPL. There's a bit of work to do to replicate that feat again, but it's far from impossible. Allan Johnstone's men are edging away from the pack at the foot of the table as each week passes, and now find themselves just 9 points behind a wayward Dundee United who haven't won any of their last 6 matches in the SPFL.
As Eremenko parted ways with Killie last time around, he made a promise to return. He is certainly a man of his word. This week he also said: "I don't think I played against Kris (Boyd) when he was at Rangers the last time I was here. But I watched Saturday's game with Inverness and I think I can make him score even more goals."
Everyone at Kilmarnock will be hoping that he continues to be a man of his word, as this partnership with Boyd could make the difference between them finishing in the top and bottom 6 come May.
With just 8 games remaining before the split, the clock is ticking for Killie and Eremenko.

@SGMilne Yes, so we settle down with football manager and put the tele on in the background 1 day ago


The following summary is based on the information that was obtained from an interview of Mrs. Rayshondal Merrell a Licensed Practical Nurse for 9 years and enjoys everything about the job. Mrs. Merrell work at a state prison in a 21 bed infirmary as a Licensed Practical Nurse. The infirmary is designed to house inmates with acute illnesses as well as inmates who have returned from hospitals for more serious illnesses. Licensed Practical Nurses will conduct routine checks of these inmates or a daily basis.
They also treat patients by properly cleaning and dressing wounds and responsible for charting and translating orders. LPN duties in a prison are patient intake, triage, monitoring health conditions and instructing on precautions. The Practical Nurse manages a patients overall care.
As a Licensed Practical Nurse working in a prison infirmary, the department's customers are the inmates. The LPN work in a 21 bed infirmary in a state prison. The infirmary has different medical types of inmates. While working in the infirmary the Licensed Practical Nurse will conducted blood pressure checks and dressing changes. She is also responsible for all care for her patients and writes her own notes.
The career path to this point starts out by working at a state prison as a Correctional Officer for 5 years. At the same time she observed many people working in the medical department. As she observed them she realizes that they were not giving them the proper treatment that they suppose to have. After the time passed by she decide to attend school to obtaining a Licensed Practical Nurse at the Heart of Georgia Technical College in Dublin, Georgia from 2001 to 2003. Then she received a job with the Department of Corrections where she works for several years. She later expected a job with Correct Health where she was assign to work for Washington County Sheriff Department.
The education system taken in order earn a similar position is that the Licensed Practical Nurse must meet similar education and examination requirement. This means that transferring your license from one state to another should not pose any significant difficulties as both require passing the same national examination and completing programs that satisfy criteria of nationwide accrediting agencies. Also attend an accredited organization that offers RN programs.

Q: Does For-Loop counter stay? Simple Question. Imagine this in ANSI-C:
int i;

for(i=0 ; i<5 ; i++){
   //Something...
}

printf("i is %d\n", i);

Will this output "i is 5" ?
Is i preserved or is the value of i undefined after the loop?

A: Variable i is defined outside of the scope of the loop (which is great, or you wouldn't be able to print it in that case).
And it is post-icnremented for every-turn of the loop, for which the end condition is "stop when i is bigger or equal to 5".
So it really makes perfect sense for i to be equal to 5 at this point.
A block scope is not exactly the same as a function scope in C. The variable i doesn't "get back" magically to its previous value when you step out of the loop's scope.

A: Yes. If i is declared outside of the for loop it remains in scope after the loop exits. It retains whatever value it had at the point the loop exited.
If you declatred I in the loop:
for (int i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++)
{

}

Then i is undefined after the loop exit.

A: i's value will be 5 after your loop. Unless you did something like
i = 50000;

inside of it.

A: It's also generally recommended against using "i" after you exit the loop in most coding standards I have ever read. In particular do NOT do:
for(i = 0; i < num_elements; i++)
{
    if(element[i].id == id)
    {
        /* Do something to element here. */
        break;
    }
}

if(i == num_elements)
{
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to find element %d.", id);
    succeeded == false;
}

While this will work it is poor coding. It is less readable and maintainable than the alternatives. E.g.
succeeded = false;

for(i = 0; i < num_elements; i++)
{
    if(element[i].id == id)
    {
        /* Do something to element here. */
        succeeded = true;
        break;
    }
}

if(false == succeeded)
{
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to find element %d.", id);
}

A: Yes, variables are valid only inside the block in which they are declared.
Here's an example:
#include <stdio.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if(argc == 2) {
        int x;
        x = 7;
    }

    x = 1;
}

That's the compiler:
gcc ex.c
ex.c: In function 'main':
ex.c:10: error: 'x' undeclared (first use in this function)
ex.c:10: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ex.c:10: error: for each function it appears in.)

Zimtu Capital Corp. (TSX.V: ZC) has appreciated over 30% in the last couple of days and certainly one of the drivers for this rebound has been the recent success one of Zimtu's major holdings Western Potash Corp. (TSX: WPX), which announced a strategic investment from Chinese parties buying 19.9% of the company for $31.9 million. The deal is set to close on June 14th.
In fact, the correlation between ZC and WPX is remarkable as Zimtu holds over 2.75 million shares and 2.7 million warrants. To this day there remains a close relationship between the two companies as ZC was a founding partner of WPX. It's worth pointing out, for every 1000 shares of ZC investors have a total exposure to 477 shares of Western Potash including warrants. So, from ZC's perspective there are strong reasons to have a closer look at this deal.
Let's start with a bold statement: The Milestone Potash mine in Saskatchewan will be built! And here is an even bolder one: The mine will be built by WPX – today a junior company! The market may not fully comprehend this yet, but with the latest news of the entry of significant Chinese partners into WPX, the Company has embarked on a different route that may surprise everyone. The aim of the WPX deal – positioning oneself with a strategic partner – when successful, could become a model for future foreign investments into the Canadian natural resources sector.
WESTERN POTASH CORP. RECEIVES STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FROM CHINA BLUECHEMICAL LTD. AND GUOXIN INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION LIMITED.
CNOOC, the parent company of China Blue, is the largest off-shore oil and gas producer in China. China Blue, the subsidiary itself, is a Hong Kong listed Fertilizer Company with expected sales of $12 billion for the current year. Looking at China Blue's product portfolio indicates a strategic need. Their executive summary states that China Blue is strong in urea and phosphor, but KCL (the third essential element in a complete fertilizer) is missing. So from China Blue's point of view, the deal with WPX makes perfect sense. Milestone has the size and longevity to supply up to half of China's current potash imports (no growth supposed) for decades.
The other group participating and 40% owner of the newly formed JV vehicle, CBC Holding Corp (CBCHC), is Benewood Holdings Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GUOXIN International Investment Corp Ltd. GUOXIN is a large financial investment institution listed in Hong Kong, who keeps a low-profile but is growing in significance. Chinese investment banks can structure finance agreements with a 3:1 debt to equity ratio. This could mean that WPX would only need $750 million USD to fully finance the mine construction. On a side note, this deal sends a message to Western based investment banks. The WPX deal structure offers a new way to finance large scale resource development projects.
I recommend everyone Google "CNOOC and Saskatchewan". Not only will you find information on the recent acquisition of Nexen Inc. by CNOOC for $15.1 billion, but more importantly, you will find the comments by the Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. Mr. Wall has publicly stated that Saskatchewan wants to protect itself against the take-over of its natural resource assets by large multi-nationals and state sponsored entities. The prolonged political scrutiny by the Canadian Monopoly Commission regarding CNOOC's purchase of Nexen conveyed apprehension in relinquishing control of Canada's natural resources at the federal level.
It is fully apparent that the Chinese government and the large companies they sponsor are focused on the projected long-term needs of their country. Canada is rich in natural resources, and the size and grade of the commodities Saskatchewan boasts, is clearly attractive to countries like China. However, there appears to be a shift in the willingness of Canadians to allow sizable domestic natural resources to be acquired by foreign entities. As well, the dismissal of BHP's bid for Potash Corp. (TSX: POT) by the Federal Government, influenced by the Government of Saskatchewan, has sent a strong message that the Province will not be pillaged. The Chinese appear to understand all of this, and that if they want to gain access to assets in Saskatchewan a different approach is required; the current deal with WPX is such a different approach. In this case, the Chinese have understood that owning a part of a Canadian company that creates employment opportunities for Canadians, and that will pay Canadian taxes is the way to get access to these assets for their interests.
It is important to point out the WPX deal is different from other off-take agreements that the junior potash industry has seen in the past. Not only has WPX closed (or is about to close) a deal with a producer, but there is also a bank involved. This is a very powerful combination. No other recent deal is close to negotiating a successful financing structure. The market understands that deals with weak off-take partners are dead in the water and the likelihood of these projects being built is small. The access to capital is crucial.
Zimtu Capital Corp. has significant exposure to Western Potash Corp.
The WPX deal has a lot more to it: It is a non-exclusive, off-take deal for one million tonnes per annum or 30% of the production under one million tonnes over 20 years. The important fact is that other participants are welcome to join. This deal is an invitation to other groups. It's as if WPX was planning a major shopping mall and had just found the first major tenant. The second tenant (off-taker) will have an easier decision and runs a smaller risk. Most likely, this new incoming party will be agreeing to actively participate in the project. Therefore, direct investments against off-take agreements and/or equity stakes in the project could be a viable route to secure the collateral for a debt financing.
Certainly the Milestone Project is not for the short-term speculator. Structuring a final deal, potentially tying in more off-take agreements and overcoming other challenges will consume time. The truth is that with this deal WPX will slowly become a story for real investors. Patience is required, but there is great potential.
Therefore, I would suggest that WPX should be of interest to potential investors. Technical reports completed by amec, available on the Western Potash website, indicate a significant net asset value for the Milestone Project. This deal is an important step in realizing the potential value which has been locked away in WPX shares. However, investors interested in diversity should also take a look at the unique opportunity ZC shares provide. Through project generation and equity investments, ZC has built significant exposure to many different mineral exploration companies. Therefore, ZC shares offer both diversity of mineral projects and the commodity being actively explored, while providing significant exposure to WPX.

Creative, sustainable, durable and reliable.
Kalzip® systems can meet the most demanding construction and design requirements to create roofs and façades that combine outstanding functionality with stunning aesthetics.
Kalzip® enables you to create innovative, long-lasting, high performance and low maintenance building envelope solutions using aluminum sheets and other inspiring metal finishes.
Kalzip FC rainscreen is a non-penetrative façade system that incorporates a fast-to-install lightweight flat rainscreen panel, suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects.
The main feature of the system is its flexibility, which allows the installation of the profiles to be carried out in two directions, either from the top down or from the bottom up.
Kalzip perforated façades offer an innovative solution to the upgrading or enhancement of a building through the creative use of light. Without compromising the structural integrity of the building envelope, it is ideal for cantilever roofs, car park screening, or to simply add subtle detail to large elevations and provides numerous aesthetic and practical advantages.
Offered in aluminium, Kalzip perforated facades provide superb flexibility and a cost-effective solution. Available in a number of Kalzip standing seam profiles and TF façade system, they feature a choice of perforations, with each profile subject to a slightly different grid pattern based on hole diameters and spacings. Through the coordination of light, shape and texture, Kalzip perforated façades are a simple yet elegant solution for creating striking designs.
The distinctive Kalzip TF37-800R aluminium profiled cladding provides a distinctive and functional solution for horizontal or slightly pitched building elevations.
The clean-cut appearance of the profile enhances the effect of light and shade across the façade area and is ideal for projects where a non industrial appearance is required. Lasting protection for the existing building structure is offered due to its compatibility with a variety of substructures, such as metal, concrete and wood.
Kalzip liner roof systems are predominantly used for new build construction, although they can also be used for refurbishment when required.
The Kalzip liner roof system is ideal where speed of installation on a project is of utmost importance. A non-fragile walkable Kalzip liner sheet can be quickly installed to provide weather cover to allow other trades to work below. The remainder of the roofing components can then be installed without affecting the critical path of the construction program.
The Kalzip structural deck roof system provides an economical solution for long span installations and eliminates the need for purlins.
For enhanced acoustic absorption, decking panels can be perforated and can support mass, such as increased insulation or board, which may be introduced for more rigorous acoustic specifications.
Where structural decking is installed there is a reduced requirement for secondary steelwork.
Kalzip® liner-deck roof systems are predominantly used for new build construction where purlin centers are greater than normal, where high density insulation is required or where low U values are required. Affording the same benefits as the Kalzip® liner roof system, the Kalzip® liner-deck roof system utilizes a low profile structural deck and supports the outer sheet direct off the liner-deck via clips and top hat sub purlins.
The Kalzip low U-value roof system is a dual insulation system capable of achieving U-values as low as 0.10 W/m2/K. It has been developed in anticipation of changes to Part L of the Building Regulations in 2010 and beyond – changes that will lead to ever-tightening design limits on thermal performance.
The low U-value system is primarily based on a standard Kalzip standing seam roof build and as such is subject to the same basic set of criteria and properties for materials, finishes, geometries, accessories and components. It is available with four types of roof lining; standard liner; liner-deck; structural metal deck; timber deck.
Kalzip roof constructions can be modified to accommodate various acoustic performance requirements, by incorporating other layers such as high density insulation, acoustic boards and flexible membranes to provide increased sound reduction performance and by perforating the liner to provide improved sound absorption performance.
Kalzip acoustic board is a high density cement-particle board that can easily be incorporated into a Kalzip roof system in order to dramatically increase the mass and subsequently the sound reduction properties of the system.
Malleable, pliable, foldable and flexible, Kalzip® XT profiled sheets make it possible to transform computer-generated designs and structural principles into reality.
These evolutionary animations, visualized in 3D objects, enable new architectural shapes and forms to be created. The ability to achieve extremely tight radii guarantees unusual shapes of buildings, including: ellipses, cones, semi-spheres, prisms, pyramids, as well as classic geometrical shapes – both horizontal and vertical.
The Kalzip MT33-1000R offers a unique profile that can be installed both vertically and horizontally, and on various substructures to give any building an attractive and modern appearance.
A unique roll formed shape that maintains the micro ribbing of Kalzip's popular TF37-800R system, the MT33-1000R features twin half rounded raised seams on a 333 pitch to provide a 1000 mm cover width with a 33 mm depth.

Lets get one thing out of the way…right away..
Campfire Audio does not mess around. They punch the competition right in the mouth and they do it often…bout every damn time they release something.
The quality is always top notch. Campfire Audio gear is designed and made in America.
I reaaaaaaally enjoy it when what I am talking about is exceptional and on par and beyond, items made by the most famous, high quality personal audiophile gear manufacturers on the planet.
$200 does not often (ever?) ..buy you a set of this quality. 3D modeled, drop forged steel, polished beauties with mmcx removable LITZ cable.
I am going to save the pic and vid bombing for the bottom of the review so you can get what you came for right away.
I grew up on this album among others. This was one of my Mom"s favorites. The song opens like pedals on a flower one by one as each member comes into the fold. This song has an epic build up from the slow opening guitar notes into a full on rock and roll explosion that goes in all directions sonic wise and that makes for a good psycho-acoustic stage. After growing up with vinyl on home systems it always sounded very compact on mp3 files and ipods but moving up to items like Sony's WM1A and using high quality vinyl rips brought back the familiar separation between Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page.
I use this song for staging usually but it has so much upper frequency info it can be an excellent evaluator of treble detail, and expose roll-off. All of the notes I expect to hear are heard. There are no obvious caverns along the treble frequency. It would be clear. It always is. Lots of stuff sounds just alright with this song and some…few, sound fantastic. The Campfire Audio comets are a new one in the fantastic group.
This was THE FIRST track I ever played with the Campfire Audio Comets because I doubted/expected the bass to be lacking or at least some roll off in the sub-bass.
This was when I knew this was not going to go as expected and was the beginning of the awesome…I smiled.
I like Ken (never met him) but we have a common tie to…Hawaii.
I was going to try and be very polite to a guy who seems genuine and is really out to make great gear, but, the bass is going to be an issue and I gotta be honest, my bass loving brethren are reading this…..and……like I said above…I smiled, this set is just fine..because I like good bass that does not screw my mids and these really really surprised me.
The bass guitar string pulls are clear and defined and resonate and decay in a natural manner. They are as they should be. Man that is so rare and I have never experienced that with a single BA. Never experienced that with a set that has 4 BA just for bass…crazy. And the mids are excellent……craaaazy!
The most important is the last on the list.
The mids are a slave to bass and confused as treble and get blamed for most sonic issues cuz they do…in fact, (the issues) reside along their range.
Bass that is elevated too long will encroach on mids and create a veil that can cover the entire mids and sometimes the whole audible spectrum. This is most apparent with vocals both Male and Female vocals as the fundamental range of both sexes spans more than half of the mid range. The harmonic range fully crosses and goes way into the treble If it is veiled by late bass or recessed tuning or an un natural bump before the treble you will hear it.
This Fleetwood Mac track had at least 2 female and 2 male voices. There are often other layers with unknowns but Mick, Lindsay Stevie and Christie are definitely there. It sounds like Stevie Nicks was mastered in at a slightly higher level than everything besides the guitar and some effects. The other vocalists are a tad back but if this track is played with bad mids they will sound quite distant. Stevie is met by backing vocals by Christie that are about as loud as Stevie appears to be during the outro both saying "woman" together near the end of the song. If you know this song really good you can hear scooped/veiled/forward or recessed mids pretty much right away.
If the bass is good and the treble is great…you got 2 outta 3…right…that's good yeah?
No…the whole thing will go down the "V" sig toilet and be just another set of in ear monitors.
The mids….they make this set great.
What's in the Box bro?
Great review. I saw your review on the Fiio FH1's as well. How would you say these compare to those? Are you paying more for the metal housing, or are you getting a lot better sound here? Thank you, Chad.
Close. I think the FH1 has more flexibility because multi driver and ear hooks but both are my taste sound wise. Warm with details.

We're in the middle of a business-practice design exercise that started a few essays ago (Dec '97). Our context is GM's Pittsburgh plant with low-volume, high-variety metal fabrication expertise. The plant's goal is to capture the knowledge of this expertise, to spread it through a training program among all current and new employees, and to nurture it into a proactive strategic advantage.
A word about words: We call our training environment a workshop rather than a class - as the students are responsible for discovering the knowledge that they will be teaching to themselves, and their core activity is the design of a real solution to a real problem. We do call the workshop participants students, however. If the word student is belittling to you get over it, that's how the rest-of-your-life game gets played now.
In the prior two essays we have established and discussed a) the contextual focus for this core-competency knowledge management system, b) the major issues faced by it, c) its key system modules, and d) the framework that will constrain and enable module interaction. In reference, the accompanying table shows the module/framework architectural elements of our design.
Now we will discuss the seven functional activities (Jan '98) that are the heart of this business practice - keeping in mind that the objective of this exercise is to employ RRS design principles (Oct '97) in order to ensure the practice remains highly adaptable in a continually changing knowledge-value environment.
Activities define the interactions among system modules, the actions of the parties responsible for system reconfiguration, and the interactions between elements of the system and the external world. This is the meat for the framework/module architecture we've built.
1) Establish Personal Values - If he's not thirsty, you can't make a horse drink. Jack Stack at Springfield Remanufacturing taught his people to read the corporate balance sheet by showing them how this skill could help them manage their personal finances better; maybe even start a home-based jelly or muffin business. Learning happens when the mind is interested.
These training workshops will focus on what makes production processes highly adaptable. To create personal value from this knowledge the workshop will first look at some of the adaptability issues that people face in their personal lives. For instance, major purchases like a home computer to grow with the kids or a new entertainment system - both lose value quickly if they cannot be upgraded or adapted to technological change. Another example: school and curriculum choices for children can either dead-end or maximize the options in a fast changing world, as can continuing education and skill-training choices for adults.
Workshop students lead here - each choosing a personal interest area to examine for change issues and potential benefits if change-proficiency is realized. The library contains examples and analyses by past students to help in making a choice. Workshop mentors guide the selection process and the subsequent analysis exercise - which focuses on change-proficiency performance metrics, e.g., how valuable is it to extend the useful life of your sound and video system by five additional years, to be able to accommodate DAT and DVD without replacing the entire system, to grow into 3D sound; and what features of a base system maximize the options for someone with minimal technical expertise?
Students present their examples to each other and solicit suggestions for greater flexibility and identification of cost/value issues. Mentors guide the group through an exercise that helps each individual capture the key points of their example in a simplified metaphor model format (Oct '97) - preparation for more formal modeling later. These early personal-value-examples are improved later in the workshop as homework; and after final presentations students decide which ones get libraried to help future students.
2) Analyze External Case for Ideas - Students lead this activity by identifying pertinent candidate case stories in the existing library of outside cases, in the general literature, and in potential plant tours within a day's drive. Mentors assist in the final selection to ensure that cases chosen for analysis will shed light on the application problem the workshop will attack later. A student led discussion informally analyzes and identifies salient and novel features of what has been seen or read about. To the extent that a case deals explicitly with change, a more formal analysis will catalog the change issues, the enabling factors for change proficiency, and any readily available change-proficiency performance metrics. New cases that prove to be instructive are added to the library for future students to reuse.
3) Analyze Local Case for Principles - This is the primary mechanism for capturing core-competency knowledge, and uses the students to analyze and describe the features and underlying principles of an existing highly adaptable system. Typically the original designers of these existing systems employ techniques that they are unable to articulate to others sufficient for duplicating the expertise. The purpose of this analysis is twofold: first, it turns tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge, and second, it is a warm-up exercise for the group which subsequently employs what they have learned to solve the workshop application problem. Students choose the subject for analysis from candidates suggested by mentors. The fact that the subject may have been analyzed by previous workshops and already exists in the library as a case model is of no consequence - a new perspective may well result. Mentors provide process guidance, aiming the group toward the eventual descriptive requirements for consistent knowledge representation.
4) Design a Business Practice - Here is the crux of the workshop. The problem being attacked may well have been worked on by prior workshop groups who failed to gain an implementation recommendation. The workshop group is broken into small teams when possible in order to have multiple perspectives vie for group appreciation. Mentors schedule periodic group reviews and provide process guidance. Student teams schedule their own team and individual task assignments spread over four-to-eight weeks, interspersed with frequent group progress review meetings. They remain employed at a reduced time-commitment in their normal job function during this period. This activity culminates when the group, with mentor guidance, agrees upon a comprehensive design approach and is ready to package the result as a metaphor model.
5) Package Knowledge as Metaphor Models -The metaphor model format (Oct '97) is used to capture and convey the salient features of both the analyzed local case and the designed problem solution, as well as the individual personal value examples developed by each student. It is both a descriptive discipline and an effective insight conveyance tool. It ensures that adaptable systems are consistently described in terms of the RRS principles and framework/module architecture that enable their adaptability, and catalogs the key change issues addressed by the system. These models are built by the students as a group while mentors provide process guidance. When a workshop group is large it is broken into sub-groups for collective work.
6) Rotate Student and Mentor Roles - The HR/OD function at the plant is responsible for scheduling workshops and designating the mentor and student roles. Individuals may be mentors in one workshop and students in another. Mentoring is process-guidance focused, studenting is workshop-product focused - and an individual gains knowledge and insight in both roles. Mentors assist in the identification of issues and in the interpretation of principles by exposing students to past work and by guiding students through a process - not by providing or judging answers. Every application exercise is a chance for a student to solve a very important problem in a very valuable way - and every mentoring opportunity is a chance to improve one's understanding of the tools and the concepts.
7) Review and Select for Quality - We cannot let the fact that we have students developing new knowledge result in a random process. A QA committee ensures that real problems of real value get targeted by workshop groups, and also ensures that marginal value results do not become institutionalized as part of the corporate long term memory. The QA Committee has an important role to play as they provide the ultimate value judgement on both old and new knowledge. They do not, however, interfere in the process of new knowledge development; but rather provide the objective up front and the evaluation in the end. In this way the plant reaps the benefit of new thinking and new perspectives. The committee offers worthy candidate problems to a workshop, and may also approve a problem suggested by a workshop group. At workshop completion the QA committee evaluates the results of key workshop deliverables: the local metaphor model developed while analyzing something that already exists, and the suggested solution to the application problem. Instructive local metaphor models are both admitted into the library and published within the plant, and good problem solutions are recommended for implementation.
There is another important committee as well. It has ownership of the entire knowledge management process and the evolution of the process framework. It is staffed by selected top management in recognition of the strategic importance of the plant's core competency, and staff members are personally accountable for maintaining an effective system at all times.
In the next essay we will look at the explicit relationship between the RRS design principles and activities, and between activities and the change issues we identified as design requirements. At that time we will also look at the tools and the process steps employed behind the scenes during this design exercise.

Mason County Eastern graduate Eli Shoup signs with Trine University
CUSTER — A multiple sport athlete, Mason County Eastern graduate Eli Shoup particularly excelled in cross country and track and field.
It is in those sports that Shoup, the son of Robert and Amanda Shoup, will be competing at Trine University next spring after signing a national letter of intent to attend the private university located in Angola, Ind. He plans to major in mechanical engineering.
"I was pretty impressed with their engineering program when we visited," Shoup said. "It's a cool chance just to extend my athletic career. I'm not ready for sports to be done yet."
Shoup was one position away from being All-State in cross country, then he went to basketball, where he was an All-Stater as voted by the coaches' poll.
During the spring, Shoup split his time between baseball and track. He lettered in all but baseball.
Shoup was part of two relay teams that went to state. The 3200-meter relay team earned state honors. He also qualified for state in the 300 hurdles.
With all of his athletic achievements, Shoup still managed to excel in the classroom. He finished with a 4.0 grade point average while dual enrolled at West Shore Community College.
"It was a lot of work, but it paid off," said Shoup. "It was just a good high school experience."
His academic achievements earned him more than $100,000 in scholarships. He also was also honored by State Farm.
Shoup also received the Ryan Shay Memorial Scholarship established in 2008 by H. Joseph and Susan M. Shay in memory of their son. Shay passed away from sudden heart failure. That award, by the Michigan Class D (Division 4) Cross Country Coaches Association, has been awarded annually since 2016.
It was no surprise that Shoup was named Eastern's All-Around Senior at ceremonies in May.
"He's quite a kid," MCE cross country and track coach Ben Knizacky said. "He's going to be a big loss. 'Keep your nose to the grindstone,' that was Eli. He was a distance runner and a hurdler for me. You could see steady improvement with everything he did, not only my sports but also the basketball. I know when I first introduced him to the hurdles as a sophomore, he thought I was crazy. It became a good event for him.
"Once he realized there were possibilities for him in it, he kept working on it and worked hard at it."

These ginger tea recipes make it easy to enjoy this spicy, refreshing drink – whether you're making ginger tea simply because you love the taste or because of the many ginger tea health benefits.
Whether you prefer your ginger tea hot or iced, with fresh or ground ginger, you'll find a recipe here.
When you make these ginger tea recipes, you may find you want more or less ginger flavor in your tea. If so, simply add more or less ginger next time to suit your tastebuds.
You can also add some cooling peppermint to your tea if the ginger is too strong. Suggested amounts are provided at the end of each recipe.
The ginger tea recipes make 1 serving, but it's easy to increase the amounts to make more.
Place ginger in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The water will darken and become fragrant as it cooks.
Strain the tea into your mug.
Add sweetener to taste if using (honey is my favorite).
Note: If ginger tea is too strong for you, you may want to try it with peppermint. Dried peppermint can be added at the beginning with the ginger root, or fresh peppermint can be added in the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. The peppermint will cool the ginger while allowing you to reap the full benefits of ginger tea.
Place ground ginger in a mug.
Add hot water and stir well.
Note: If ginger tea is too strong for you, you may want to consider adding some peppermint to it. Steep 1 teaspoon dried peppermint or 1 Tablespoon fresh peppermint in the hot water for 3-5 minutes. Strain and then add the liquid (now a peppermint tea) to the mug with the ground ginger. The peppermint will cool the ginger while allowing you to reap the full benefits of ginger tea.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. The water will darken and become fragrant as it cooks.
Strain the tea into a glass.
Add sweetener. Stir to dissolve.
You can add ice and drink it right away. However, if you allow it to fully cool first, the tea will be nice and clear, rather than cloudy.
Note: Iced ginger tea is really tasty with a squeeze of fresh lime juice added to it just before serving.

Devos' "School Choice" Means No Choice for Many American Families
September 25, 2017 Sarah Riley
Insights from The Opportunity Agenda
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, sparked controversy this summer during a speech she delivered at the union's biennial TEACH (Together Educating America's Children) conference. While criticizing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' reform agenda, Weingarten said, "Make no mistake: This use of privatization, coupled with disinvestment are only politer cousins of segregation."
Image: Print by Pete Railand via Justseeds.org
School choice advocates immediately shot back, questioning the historical accuracy of Weingarten's statements. Jeanne Allen, Founder and CEO of the Center for Education Reform, called for Weingarten's resignation. It is unquestionably true that white supremacists used school vouchers to resist the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which desegregated public schools. It is also true that teachers unions have a complex history, which is deeply intertwined with the country's segregationist past. Prior to 1951, southern affiliates of the National Education Association denied Black teachers membership. Decades later, the United Federation of Teachers vigorously opposed local control in the Black and Latinx neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn in favor of protecting its mostly white membership. Neither teachers unions nor school choice advocates are beyond reproach, and their histories deserve a critical look if we intend to implement successful reforms moving forward.
Over and over, DeVos has passed the burden of securing high-quality education off onto parents by refusing to hold schools and states accountable to the families they serve.
Unfortunately, while Weingarten and Allen (both White women) debate which of them is more racist in an attempt to score political points, DeVos is advancing a dangerous agenda that should alarm even the most ardent school choice supporters. The US Department of Education's proposed 2018 budget would cut funding for public schools by over $9 billion, which amounts to phasing out or eliminating 22 programs. $2 billion for teacher development and class-size reduction, $1.2 billion for afterschool and summer programming, and $190 million for literacy development would be eliminated. The budget also proposes deep cuts to Head Start and a $5.8 billion reduction in funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) over the next 10 years. Although congress is not likely to accept the department's budget as is, it reveals where DeVos' priorities are (and where they are not).
In addition to supporting drastic spending cuts, DeVos has repeatedly refused to commit to protecting our country's most vulnerable students. During her testimony in May before a House Appropriations Subcommittee. When asked if she would give federal dollars to schools which discriminated against African American or LGBTQ students, DeVos dodged the question, saying only: "The bottom line is we believe that parents are the best equipped to make choices for their children's education and schooling decisions." Later in her testimony, she conceded that her vision for school choice did not include protections for students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Over and over, DeVos has passed the burden of securing high-quality education off onto parents by refusing to hold schools and states accountable to the families they serve. When asked during an Associated Press interview in August what she would do to ensure that states are "doing the job that they're supposed to be doing," DeVos replied: "Well, I think the first line of accountability is frankly with the parents. When parents are choosing school they are proactively making that choice. And schools are accountable to the parents." But in the absence of rigorous accountability standards, schools are not accountable to parents at all. In fact, as DeVos herself pointed out, private schools that participate in her federal school choice policy would be exempt from equal treatment of people of color, LGBTQ+ students, and students with disabilities. Further, these exemptions would extend to schools' academic standards and outcomes. While it is true that dissatisfied families can theoretically put their children in a different school, DeVos underestimates the hardship and disruption of that process. And in the absence of federal accountability, it is not clear that the alternatives accessible to families would be any better.

A Monk's Chronicle: 4 March MMXIX — A Letter from Jerusalem
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Chuch of the Nativity Bethlehem, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Egeria, Frá Gerard, Jerash JORDAN, Monastic Culture, Order of Malta, Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Saint John's Abbey, Saint John's University on March 3, 2019|
A Letter from Jerusalem
Ages ago I read the account of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, written by the 4th-century Iberian nun named Egeria. Over the course of several years she journeyed from Egypt to Constantinople in search of the holy sites, and among other things she left us one of the best and earliest accounts of the Holy Week liturgies in Jerusalem. She also salted her pages with a generous portion of credulity, and it's fair to say that openmindedness was one of her chief virtues.
When she asked to see the burning bush of Moses at Mount Sinai, for example, the monks produced it on demand. She got the same friendly service all along the route; and if we can fault her gullibility, we have to give her credit for initiative. She travelled; she wrote about it; and her stories stimulated a pilgrimage traffic that shows no sign of letting up.
At the moment I'm in the middle of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with a group of members of the Order of Malta. It's been inspiring to see both the familiar as well as the less familiar sites. As for the latter, most pilgrims would not take the trouble to find the church of Saint John, alongside which Frá Gerard ran a hospice for pilgrims in the late 11th and early 12th centuries. He and his successors eventually became the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta; and so it was a thrill to pose for photos at the door of this really really hard-to-find Orthodox Church. It was closed, but that did not stop us from reciting the prayer of the Order while we stood outside.
As anyone who has visited Jerusalem can attest, this is a very crowded city that challenges the faint of heart. Chief among the obstacles to contend with are the crowds, which makes negotiating the narrow streets both fascinating and an ordeal. It's also easy to get lost, which is why we were happy that forty-two of us went in and all forty-two of us emerged at the end — a little rattled.
What makes it such an ordeal is not just the issue of too many people in too little space. Added to that is the fact that there is the organized competition among groups, all trying to force their way through to the front of lines. Naively we went to the church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and there our group had its first lesson in this sort of thing. Once inside our guide quickly formed us into something of a military phalanx. With precision he shaped us into a potent force as we maintained our place in a line leading to the cave where Jesus was born. It took two hours to get there, and as we inched forward we kept in a disciplined formation that expanded and contracted at our guide's command. Our guide also advised us not to be shy about using elbows — "because that's why God gave them to us." It was a triumph by the time we reached the grotto, but even there we were still fending off competitors. All the same, after it was all over a few people came to me to ask if we had to do penance for behavior we would never tolerate in church at home.
The same sort of perseverance was a real asset at the church of the Holy Sepulchre, but a dose of courage also came in handy. It's amazing that no one gets seriously hurt on the very steep steps leading to the site of the crucifixion. All the same, some of us gasped as we watched a young woman slide down a few steps. Thankfully she was unhurt.
The crush of pilgrims intensified as we entered the line to the shrine that encases the tomb of Jesus. Advised that it would be another two hours of creeping along, prudence won the day. That's when we voted, unanimously, to retreat and try our luck another day.
In sum, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem is strenuous business. The crowds are formidable. There's lots to see. And the Bible comes alive before your eyes. At the same time, there are still the stories that beguile modern pilgrims, just as they did Egeria. Not a few tested my credulity and required a healthy dose of the willing suspension of disbelief. Once again I was impressed by the ready market for such material. But then again I should not have been surprised, given what people will accept uncritically off of the internet.
Despite it all, or perhaps because of it all, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem both challenges and strengthens one's faith. Pressed together in a sea of humanity it dawned on me that people will never cease in their search for meaning in their lives. Walking in the steps of Jesus through the streets of Jerusalem is a reminder that faith can never be merely an intellectual enterprise. Walking through life with fellow pilgrims requires patience, fortitude, courage, and along the way we may even have to resort to the use of our elbows. But on such a pilgrimage we discover that if we fall, the Lord quickly sends a brother or sister to help us regain our footing.
+It's not possible to cite everything that has impressed me in the course of this pilgrimage, but a few sites are worthy of comment. In particular, I had never visited the ancient city of Jerash, which is in Jordan. Built by the Romans in the 2nd century, its array of architecture is nothing short of dazzling. Unlike Rome, the modern city has not engulfed the ruins, and the result is a fairly complete cityscape.
+On March 2nd we had the opportunity to visit the Order of Malta maternity hospital in Bethlehem. Each year the hospital welcomes 4,500 babies into the world, and the staff maintains the only neonatal intensive care unit in the region. They provide a vital service to mothers who have few if any alternatives. The French Association and the three US Associations of the Order of Malta share in providing the funds for the hospital.
+Our pilgrimage ends tomorrow, after which I have to get back to my day job. All the same, it's been an amazing experience, and if you've ever considered a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, this is a good time to go. It's peaceful, and crossing the border from Jordan was smooth, as was the trip into the Palestinian Territories. On the other hand, the relative quiet has encouraged the crowds to come. All the same, it's worth the effort.
+One of the unexpected benefits of standing in place for two hours in the church of the Nativity was the opportunity to take photos that might not otherwise be possible. The photos in today's post were the result of having nothing to do for two hours — except taking pictures and being vigilant that no one got ahead of us in line.

Q: Revert couchdb database file after accidentally switching source and target servers I wanted to replicate the data from one CouchDB server (source) to another one (target) but I got careless and switched them during the process using Futon e.g the source became the target . As a result I lost all the data in my source DB file, because the target DB was empty and was copied over it. As far as I can see, the replication process has replaced the source DB file entirely. If I don't have a backup, is there a way to recover the old DB content on the source server?

Huqua Press was founded in 2010 by Judith A. Proffer as an independent publishing house to nurture talent and creativity—and, hopefully, to make a meaningful difference in the process. Proffer's twenty-five year newspaper career included nearly two decades in the alternative press (where she was ultimately publisher of LA Weekly) followed by co-ownership of the Sun Community Newspaper chain in Southern California. While at the LA Weekly she helped navigate the LA Weekly book imprint with St. Martin's Press, sweetening her already growing interest in a new publishing paradigm.
Huqua Press publishes a diverse catalogue that includes culinary, juvenile, fiction and popular culture titles. Proffer seeks authors and works that uplift, inspire, inform and engage.
in 2015 Huqua Press released the first in a series of books by legacy and contemporary music recording artists – artfully illustrated editions for all ages bringing seminal lyrics to life. The debut title in the series was Dog and Butterfly by Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), followed by Brandi Carlile's Caroline. In 2018 Huqua Press will release Our House by Graham Nash.
With each project Huqua Press (HP) assembles a creative team best suited to realize the spirit of the book. HP has a talented hive of artists, designers, copyeditors, proofreaders, filmmakers (for book trailers), publicists and even an outreach coordinator who we enlist to take a thought - or a finished manuscript - and deliver a shiny new book (well, sometimes it's a matte cover) to the hands of the reader.
We are in a joint venture with Open Road Media, a formidable player in the digital book world. The New York based company brings many of our titles to the digital marketplace and their reach and expertise enables our titles to enjoy a wide audience.
We're regretfully not accepting submissions at this time as we are currently nurturing titles already on tap through 2019. We'll soon be offering publishing consulting, so if you are looking for assistance in that area do reach out and we'll keep you updated on that arm of our growing little company.
The publishing house is named after Proffer's pugs—Huka and Quincy. The catalogue reflects the playfulness of some of our titles (and pugs do like to be engaged and have fun), while canine loyalty is embodied in Huqua's commitment to its authors. Dogs make a great big difference when you invite them into your lives and heart and we're hoping our titles will have a welcome place in your bookshelf or device as well. Sadly, Huka is only with us in in spirit now but her awesomeness lives on. After all, she has a book publishing company named after her. Well, half of a book company. Not bad for fourteen pounds of sweetness and sass. And Quincy's uncanny and noble ability to bring joy with a single display of affection is passed on to the non-profits we honor at special events and within our pages.


EU Defence ministers have endorsed on 19 November the EU BLOS (Beyond Line Of Sight) project amongst a list of 17 defence projects aiming at being implemented in the frame of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). Proposed by France and supported by Belgium and Cyprus, the EU BLOS project is the first missile system project to benefit from this new cooperation framework.
The EU BLOS project aims at developing a family of BLOS missiles with back image and man in the loop capabilities. Based on the MMP missile system, this family of products will be fully mastered by European industry, which provides full autonomy of use, security of supply and future evolutions, to the benefit of the 25 PESCO member nations. One of the first priorities of this project will focus on defining a European doctrine of use and its associated concepts of operation. This project will pave the way for the creation of a European users club which will develop the growth potential of the MMP missile system in terms of missile evolutions as well as in terms of integration to a wide range of land and air platforms.


So, I'm sure you're all planning on making our Heart Shaped Nutella French Toast OR the Heart Shaped Toasts with Honey Butter for your sweetheart (or for yourself – why not?) this Valentine's Day.
3 cups milk (I use milk from Ronnybrook Farm, because it's local, fresh and awesome).
Place your Brioche pieces in a 9″ round pie dish. You can use a rectangular dish if you like as well. Add in your cranberries (or raisins) and toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together with a whisk the milk, eggs and all the other ingredients. Pour this mixture over the bread and berries in the pie dish. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour, but overnight works too if you'd like to prepare it ahead of time and forget about it for a while.
When you're ready to bake, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dish and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes. It should turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
Eat it warm, cold, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert….or late night. Leave no Brioche behind!
It's 3am and I've just returned home. I'm hungry. Not just hungry, I've worked up the kind of appetite that only results from a night out. I know, I know – how juvenile. Zip it.
The apartment is dark, illuminated only by the refrigerator light. I hear tiny little paw steps – Toby is checking in on me and throws me a reproachful glance as I peer into the depths of the fridge looking for….what is it that I want?
I want cake. More specifically, I want chocolate, pecan, sour cream bundt cake It's Marmo's recipe made with 2 sticks of butter, almost 3 cups of sugar and chunky strata in the middle and along the bottom of bittersweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
This is an anytime cake. And by anytime, I mean anytime of day and anytime of year. However, I've eaten it most often in the summertime (I'm fantasizing about warmer weather), down at the Jersey Shore, wandering home at the end of an evening out.
Occasionally I can be civilized, cut myself a generous slice, locate a fork and sit down at the table to discuss the evening's adventures with a group of friends, neighbors, or who's ever rolled in off the street attracted by the smell of baking butter and chocolate. Sometimes, I've just grabbed chunks off of it with my bare hands, all dignified-like.
It's insanely satisfying: dense (like the hamburger of cakes) with a nice crunch supplied by the pecans and a shot of richness from the chocolate. It's the perfect cake for, well…for drunk eating. There I said it.
It being January, many of us are coming off a long holiday season of liquid indulgences. And those kinds of indulgences frequently lead to me searching in vain for this cake.
What follows is the recipe for Marmo's Chocolate Pecan Sour Cream Bundt Cake. A warning: don't make it too often unless you have either an NFL team or a pack of famished raccoons to feed because you'll eat the whole thing by yourself, with or without impaired judgment.
This cake also freezes well so you can make some for now and save some for 3am…I mean, later.
Either a large (3 quart) bundt cake pan or a set of mini ones.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease (with butter) and flour a 3 quart bundt pan.
In another bowl with an electric mixer (or you can use a food processor), beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix well. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture until just combined.
Pour about half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan and sprinkle with half of the chocolate chips and half of the pecans. Pour the remaining amount of batter on top of this and sprinkle with the remaining chips and nuts.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes (smaller bundt pans will require less time), until a tester (like a toothpick) inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for an hour, and then invert onto a platter. Dust with confectioner's sugar if you like (optional).
* Note: I used mini-bundt cake pans that have a fun pattern etched into them. Makes these little guys look quite dignified (one of us should). Small cakes can also be given away as gifts so you don't eat them all on your own.

Release Date:04/07/2015;Notes:Try Anything Once is the first solo album created by Alan Parsons following the split of The Alan Parsons Project. This album features vocals by Ambrosia's David Pack, Duran Duran backing singer Jacqui Copland, Former Mindbender and 10cc guitarist Eric Stewart, and Manfred Mann's Earth Band front man Chris Thompson. The album takes a different turn from the previously ethereal Project albums, and seems to continue the directional development that started with Stereotomy and Gaudi, combining rock elements ("Back Against The Wall" & "Breakaway") and mood-oriented beats ("Turn It Up" & "I'm Talking To You"), while still retaining certain elements of the classic Project albums that are unique ("Mr Time", "Wine From The Water", the instrumentals).;Track List:1. The Three Of Me;2. Turn It Up;3. Wine From The Water;4. Breakaway;5. Mr Time;6. Jigue;7. I'm Talkin' To You;8. Siren Song;9. Dreamscape;10. Back Against The Wall;11. Re-Jigue;12.

The Bristol Stool Chart (BSC) is a medical aid designed to classify the form of human feces into seven categories. It was developed by Dr. Stephen Lewis and Dr. Ken Heaton at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in 1997.
Here's the list in full (and you can search online for illustrated versions but (as the Daily Mail webesite would say) WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT. The agreeably un-technical type descriptors are those devised by Lewis and Heaton:
Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)
Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft
Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)
Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid
The remarkable thing is not only that there are as many types of excrement as there are types of ambiguity (according to Empson), but that each of these seven categories can be applied with great accuracy to the public pronouncements of Jeremy Hunt, the Secretary of State for Health and the Tory Member of Parliament for South West Surrey.
Before reading this blog, which is JUST FOR FUN, you might take a look at Dr Rachel Clarke, a highly intelligent and calmly furious junior doctor, calling Hunt 'a liar and a manipulator' during a television interview. She makes an eloquent case against this horrible mendacious man.
I lack Dr Clarke's authority and experience and alll I can do as a writer is compare the Health Secretary to different types of excreta.
Everything this awful man says is shit, of course - there can be no question of that. But what type of shitty nonsense does he evacuate at any given time? Let's consider some examples, JUST FOR FUN, with thanks to the extensive Wikipedia entry on Hunt:
In an interview with The Times in October 2012, Hunt said that he was in favour of reducing the abortion limit from 24 weeks to 12 weeks. This is a point of view (although it barely passes muster as a thought) that can instantly be categorised as BSC Type 1: hard lumps, like nuts. Hard to pass and, one might add, hard to swallow.
Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy.
In July 2015, Hunt broke patient confidentiality by tweeting a publicity photo with patient details visible on a board behind him. That seems to me a sausage shaped and lumpy kind of gaffe - inelegant, witless, and porcine.
Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface.
The cracks began to show on 30 January this year when Hunt seriously suggested that parents should go online to look at photos of rashes if worried that their child might have meningitis. "if you're worried about a rash your child has, an online alternative – where you look at photographs and say "my child's rash looks like this one" – may be a quicker way of getting to the bottom of whether this is serious or not".
The charity Meningitis Now said his advice was "potentially fatal". I suffered from, and was nearly killed by, a dose of meningitis when I was five years old. Doctors and nurses at our local NHS hospital (now closed) saved my life. Hunt understands medicine las much as a sausage understands an abattoir.
Tyoe 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth but soft.
In June 2013 Hunt announced plans to charge foreign nationals for using the NHS, claiming that the cost was up to £200 million though official figures put it at £33 million.[However, £21 million of that £33 million was already recovered, putting the actual cost at £7 million - less than Hunt's crackdown could cost. Smooth but soft.
In 2009, Hunt was investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.The commissioner found: "Mr Hunt was in breach of the rules in not reducing his claims on the Additional Costs Allowance in that period to take full account of his agent's living costs. As a result, public funds provided a benefit to the constituency agent." Hunt's offer to repay half the money (£9,558.50) was accepted - the clear cut edges of legality and probity were easily passed Hunt repaid £1,996 for claiming the expenses of his Farnham home while claiming the mortgage of his Hammersmith home.
In June 2010, Hunt attracted controversy for suggesting that football hooliganism played a part in the death of 96 football fans in the Hillsborough disaster; when it has been suggested that a lack of police control and the presence of terraces and perimeter fences were established as the causes of the tragedy. He later apologised saying "I know that fan unrest played no part in the terrible events of April 1989 and I apologise to Liverpool fans and the families of those killed and injured in the Hillsborough disaster if my comments caused any offence. Note that heartless, evasive and self-exculpating "if".Jeffrey Hunt is a mushy stool.
As Culture Secretary, Hunt was the government Minister responsible for the London Olympics and Paralympics. He took the decision to double the budget for the widely acclaimed opening ceremony, which came to £27,000,000 for four hours of telly.
Well now that's done and I'm glad it's over. I haven't had time to consider Hunt's absolutely disgraceful treatment of junior doctors in the National Health Service - that would involve an additional category on the Bristol Stool Scale. Type 8: explosive flatulence with excrement streaking the walls and ceiling.
Hunt will be best remembered (though not fondly) for the moment James Naughtie inadvertently called him a cunt on the Radio 4 Today programme, before suffering 'a coughing fit'. Listen here

On Wednesday, July 26th at 6:30 p.m. at Elsie Quirk Library, NASA Solar System Ambassador, Linda McKenna will present The All American Eclipse: Disappearing in a Town near You an informational slideshow about the upcoming total solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is the complete blocking out of the sun by the moon which reveals the solar corona, the sun's outer atmosphere. The eclipse will occur on August 21, 2017. Millions of people in the U.S. will gather along a tiny ribbon of land across the country, less than 100 miles wide, to view this historical phenomenon. The center line of the eclipse will enter the U.S. between Lincoln City and Newport, Oregon and will cross the country exiting 3 hours later between Georgetown and Charleston, South Carolina. In Florida, we should be able to see a partial eclipse. The last time this stunning event occurred was on June 8, 1918. It's never safe to look directly at the sun's rays, even if it is partially obscured, all those who attend the program will receive a pair of 3-D glasses for viewing the future eclipse.
