This quote is referring to the spinoffs from the magnificent technology that enabled the Apollo moon landing in July 1969. I was a vagabond watching it on a storefront TV in Athens, Greece, along with a small crowd who didn't own their own sets, or had to be in downtown Athens on that day, away from the comfort of their own home. We were all looking for free.
Technology, labour and capital all combined to make America the winner of the Space Race and the Cold War, and the Superpower of the planet. Then came the Financial Crisis of 2008. Dambisa Moyo contends that it is not just the quantity of capital, of labour and of technology that matters, but also the quality. By 'quality' she means the manner in which capital is allocated, the aptitude of the workforce and the nature of the technology.
Beginning with capital, Moyo points out how the cash-strapped West is losing out in the international bidding war for commodities. The 50 year-long policy to enable the chase for the American Dream by extending credit against an ever-weakening collateral has left America at the cliff-edge of collapse. Too much capital was drawn into the housing market (by risk-loving banks backed by government guarantees) where it becomes 'non-productive' capital, 'non-cash-generating', and 'low-yielding'. The combination of easy debt (like mortgages) and the mistaken belief that home equity would always rise led to the housing bubble and collapse of 2008. Moyo says "in a sentence, debt claiments failed in their fiduciary duty to police the equity holders because they were hedged by public policy".
The second misallocation is Labour. Expensive future-debt in the form of pension (I enjoy mine) is one problem. Bad labour-pricing that rewards the wrong groups (sportsmen, CEO's, and financial services managers) whose societal benefits are low, versus those whose work benefits society more broadly (doctors, nurses, teachers) is another. The global migration of labour is also an issue where quantity and quality are considered from their economic impact.
The key demographic factor in the West is the looming retirement of the baby-boomers. The UN forcasts that by 2050 one in three persons in the rich countries of the West will be a pensioner. The median age for all countries in 2050 will rise from today's 29 years to 38 years. Contrast this with the expectation that the emerging economies (BRIC, for example) will add 2 billion people to the middle class. The quantity question is in the numbers.
The quality question is illustrated by Moyo through a discussion about engineering degrees. "According to a 2009 Forbes article, the US prefers lawyers over engineers by 41:1". The economic trajectory of agriculture to manufacturing, to service sector predominance in maturing economies may explain some of this preference, but the service sector economy is also in jeopardy (witness the call-centre outsourcing described by Tom Friedman in his Flat Earth book). But its not just this aspect of technology that has shifted labour, its also R&D. The education systems in India and China favour a 'meritocratic' style where streaming students is practiced, in contrast to the egalitarian practice of broadening access is favoured in the West.
I have some disagreement about this latter point and the validity of the evidence. Firstly, the top place in the TIMMS and PISA testing regimes has consistently gone to Finland, a Western country, with Canada close to the top as well. Secondly, the recent high rankings of 'city states' like Shanghai and Singapore, are not the same as saying all of China or Malaysia is excelling in the same way or that the system is better. Thirdly, the US scores can be disaggregated to show that some schools and districts are indeed failing but others are excelling, depending on socio-economic status and racial makeup (which is a problem of another kind).
Besides capital and labour inputs, a third factor contributes to the growth of economies. This is the 'total factor productivity' (TFP). Think of this as all possible contributing factors combined such as geographical factors (terrain and weather), rule of law, property rights, human rights, freedom of expression and technological growth and efficiency. The West's superior 'know-how' has been eroding in a number of ways in this input area. One example of this is the R&D in the pharmacological industry. Drugs developed in the US and Europe privately, soon show up abroad as generics. Another example is the auto industry, where the big three (GM, Ford and Chrysler) failed to keep up to the technological innovations of such manufacturers as Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Hundai.
Big global problems become economic challenges as well. Healthcare and education, energy and food security, all require marshalling innovation in new ways. The new world order must now acknowledge other players at the table such as Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC) Turkey and South Africa. These players come with a different view of how to organize their economies. Instead of allowing the market to decide how to behave unfettered by regulation and government direction, these countries accept governments with larger roles in directing the economy. 75% of global oil reserves, for example, are controlled by state-owned companies from emerging markets.
Y is a country's GDP (its income); C is individual consumption; I is total investment in the country (private and public); G is the net position of government (revenues less expenses); (X – M) is exports less imports.

I've been slowly chiseling away at a blog which is essentially a scrapbook of notes and articles (mostly translated) about vintage Italian cinema. The focus is very much on the obscure and also a way to document the films I've subtitled over the last 10 years. There's also a heavy emphasis on films that seem to have disappeared.
Maybe there's something you might find interesting. Updates are very (very) random and any feedback is appreciated.

Marc must have spent more than a few hours on DEMONS....
makes it a must have for my Franco shelf.
From Stephen Thrower's FB:
THE EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE DEMONS:
two peak period Jess Franco movies that no serious fan should be without,
now available from Nucleus Films (http://nucleusfilms.com/) and featuring on camera interviews with yours truly!
I'd also say that these two films are well worth buying if you're curious about Franco but uncertain about where to start.
Some will counsel caution and recommend the slightly more sober and conventional 1960s titles, but to hell with all that.
Why not throw caution to the wind and grab these two - they'll give you a fantastic insight into his freewheeling style in the 1970s.
Nucleus majordomo Marc Morris has done a huge amount of extraordinary work restoring THE DEMONS in particular.
Here's a list of some of the work he's done which viewers and reviewers may not otherwise be aware of:
1. Incorrect aspect ratios on numerous shots fixed throughout.
2. White line frames removed throughout.
3. The soundtrack was out of synch throughout (sometimes by as much as 6 seconds). Marc has fixed this.
4. The soundtrack was missing audio, and in these scenes had been badly looped. Marc has located audio from alternate sources and replaced the annoying looped audio with correct audio where possible.
5. There was some German dialogue on the French soundtrack, which Marc has replaced with the correct French dialogue.
7. There were numerous instances of actors speaking with no dialogue heard on the soundtrack - now fixed.
8. There were numerous instances of dialogue spoken, with the actors' mouths not moving - now fixed.
9. The dissolve from face freeze frame to skull was completely missing - Marc has added this back.
10. He has also created from scratch an English language master, which is believed to match the original English language export version.
11. German Trailer - On the Kino Blu-ray, this was incorrectly dubbed with random French audio from the movie. This has been replaced with the original German soundtrack.
12. Marc has also corrected the frame rates from 23.976 fps to 24 fps, so if you have exquisitely perfect musical pitch the soundtrack will now match your LP record of Jean-Michel Lorgère's Trafic Pop!
And finally, look out for the startling fx shot included in the French trailer for Erotic Rites of Frankenstein which as far as I can recall doesn't appear in any currently available version of the film. Face-ripping!

New financial services company to open head office in Cardiff creating nearly ninety new jobs
Category:	Cardiff West News
Open Resolution – a new financial services company is setting up its head office and operations centre in Cardiff creating nearly ninety new jobs with Welsh Government support.
The business specialises in offering credit file correction services – checking, validating and correcting the credit rating of individuals.
Tens of millions of credit searches are conducted every year by a wide range of companies and organizations with a high proportion assessed on incorrect or incomplete information in credit files.
As a result many are refused access to credit, products and services or offered sub prime rates and terms. It can also have a significant detrimental effect on a person's ability to gain employment.
Credit file correction services is a massive billion dollar industry in the USA but a relatively niche but growing market in the UK with huge growth potential.
The £375,000 investment by Open Resolution – which will create eighty nine jobs – is supported by a further £250,000 business finance from the Welsh Government. This secured the project for Wales as the company were considering outsourcing the sales function to a third party provider in India.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said:
"This is great news and yet another important investment in the Welsh financial and professional services sector. I am delighted Welsh Government support helped attract Open Resolution's head office functions to Cardiff.
"Financial and Professional services is one of our key economic sectors with high growth potential and we are creating the optimum environment for business growth to make Wales the location of choice for companies looking to expand or relocate.
"We have a compelling proposition and with the £1.5bn investment in the electrification of the main London Rail link, together with the Crossrail development, means Cardiff will only be two hours from the global Financial & Professional Services markets of the city of London and Canary Wharf.
"Open Resolution is a welcome addition to the sector with plans to grow its business rapidly and create a significant number of new jobs and I wish it every success."
Open Resolution, which is licensed by the Financial Conduct Authority, was established by Steve Bloor, a director of the Cardiff based Independent Financial Resolutions (IFR) Group.
IFR, based in Central Cardiff Enterprise Zone, has agreed Open Resolution can initially use some of its existing infrastructure and resources including IT, telephony and existing website to cut start up costs and accelerate delivery. Open Resolution will then develop the business as a fully stand-alone operation.
MD Steve Bloor said:
"Funding from the Welsh Government played a critical role in our decision to base the business in Wales as opposed to outsourcing and we are looking to launch the business in the autumn and create the jobs over the next eighteen months.
"Part of our aim is to educate people about the importance of a credit score – you simply cannot just accept your rating is correct as research has shown that very many credit files contain incorrect information.
"This can influence so many areas of a person's life and impact on everything from getting a mortgage to a mobile phone contract, from renting a house to getting a job.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people who are declined credit every month and historically there has not been a solution to help people check and validate their score.
"People can access their credit rating but correcting inaccuracies is not straightforward which is where we have the skills and expertise to help."
Open Resolution will offer a direct on-line application service and plans to enter into arrangements with other financial services companies to help customers reduce their outgoings by securing cheaper mortgages, credit and other services once their credit files have been corrected.
Recruitment is starting immediately and interested in applying for the roles should email their details to [email protected]

Iowa Politics Insider: Bashing Romney

Iowa guide to presidential politics for Monday, Nov. 28, 2011.
A day after New Hampshire's Union Leader picked Newt Gingrich over Mitt Romney, Romney's under fire from Democrats. Michele Bachmann canceled stops in Iowa today to do nine national and Christian radio programs, and the surging Gingrich will be in Johnston Thursday for a GOP dinner.
The Register Recap
DEMOCRATS LAUNCH NEW PUSH AGAINST ROMNEY
Iowa Democratic Party officials say they will announce today "a new push" to criticize Mitt Romney's record and to tell Iowans "how he is ill-suited to lead the country."
Politico's Mike Allen reports the Democratic National Committee has a new anti-Romney video, and will hold events today with state officials to watch the video "in NM, NC, OH, PA, VA, WI, IA, NH, FL and MA."
To Watch the video "MittvMitt.com: The story of two men trapped in one body," click here.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul already issued a response this morning: "President Obama has failed to create a single net new job and has wreaked more havoc on the middle class than any president in modern history. The last thing the White House wants is to have to run against Mitt Romney and be held accountable for the many failures of this Administration. So, instead of focusing on the economy and creating jobs, President Obama and Democrats are focused on tearing down Mitt Romney."
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES PLOT AGAINST ROMNEY
Conservative evangelicals in Iowa want to thwart Mitt Romney. An apparent effort to craft a unified Republican caucus endorsement among several of Iowa's social-conservative advocacy groups and evangelical pastors began last Monday, but its prospects already appear uncertain. A follow-up meeting initially scheduled for today has been postponed, with no indication of when it will be rescheduled, according to a meeting participant.
BUT RANTS ENDORSES HIM
One-time Iowa Capitol fixture Christopher Rants said it came down to Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney, and he believes Romney's the best choice for president. The former Iowa House speaker cited three reasons for endorsing Romney: competance, best to jump start the economy and morals.
"As much as I like Newt," Rants told the Register, "I don't think he has the discipline to run a national campaign with zero margin for error. I also think he will be a very tough sell in the general election to the voters we need to win the swing states."
"POISED FOR VICTORY"?
Herman Cain's campaign says he's "poised for victory" in Iowa in a new edition of "The Cain Connection" e-mail newsletter to supporters that arrived in in-boxes Sunday night. Cain has 800 precinct captains to help shepherd Cain backers to the caucuses on Jan. 3.
"999 THE MOVIE"
Herman Cain got some graphic designers to produce a new website and extended video that pumps his 9-9-9 tax reform plan. No specific Iowa mention, and his campaign in a news release this morning stresses that the message is a "coast to coast" one.
The promoted URL for the site is "http://thecainsolution.com" but it links to "https://www.supporthermancain.com" — a site that's strictly for fundraising – and the push for IA and NH, the Register's Josh Hafner points out.
BLACKS "SOLD A BILL OF GOODS"
Cain in a new fundraising letter to Iowans and others says blacks were sold a bill of goods that conservatives are racist.
GOP CANDIDATES UNITED ON NEED TO CUT SPENDING
All eight major Republican presidential candidates have issued debt-and-deficit proposals that variously shutter federal departments, slash government programs and rearrange long-cherished benefits like Social Security and Medicare. But while they vary in their particulars, the candidates' plans almost uniformly uphold one overriding principle: no new revenues.
Other Iowa Mentions

EVANGELICALS FLOCKING TOWARD NEWT
Newsweek writes: "Like many evangelicals in Iowa, Steve Deace, an influential conservative radio host, is wrestling with the possibility that Newt Gingrich may be the most viable standard bearer for family-values voters in the next election. It's a conundrum, he says, that many others are also grappling with. 'Maybe the guy in the race that would make the best president is on his third marriage," he says. 'How do we reconcile that?'"
IN IOWA'S FIRST-IN-THE-NATION SISTER STATE
Sunday morning's endorsement of Newt Gingrich by New Hampshire's Union Leader newspaper drummed up a whole lot of buzz about Newtmentum (especially by Newt's campaign). The endorsement was generally seen as a snub to New Hampshire favorite Mitt Romney. Union Leader editorial page editor Drew Cline described Romney as a "a very play-it-safe candidate." In Des Moines, WHO-TV's Dave Price found 904 articles mentioning the Union Leader endorsement.
THE EXCEPTIONALISM OF IOWA AND NH
New York magazine: "Iowa and New Hampshire pols have long boasted about their state's exceptionalism. … If the voters in the early states are now basing their judgments about the candidates on the same debate performances, cable-news interviews, and blog posts that voters everywhere else rely on, then that argument goes out the window."
A FEW WORDS ON IRONY
Mason City Globe Gazette's John Skipper writes about the irony in Eastern establishment columnists' criticism of the Iowa caucuses.
RON PAUL IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL
"There's a strong loyalty to him," Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer told the New York Post. "You can't write him off. You have to say he's building the kind of organization that can succeed."
STILL UNHAPPY?
Lincoln Journal Star's Don Walton: "As Iowa approaches, it appears the core of the Republican Party isn't happy with the nominee they appear likely to get."
Today in Iowa
Bachmann won't be doing any stops in Iowa today. Instead, she's in Colorado doing nine national and Christian radio programs. But she'll be back in Iowa tomorrow for an interview on WHO Radio with Jan Mickelson and more campaigning
Here's her schedule, according to her campaign:
8:15 a.m. – Bachmann on "The Mancow Mueller Show" with host Mancow Miller
8:30 am – "The Laura Ingraham Show" with host Laura Ingraham
9:00 am – WBAP-AM's "The Mark Davis Show" with host Mark Davis

Run Zan Run
BfK No. 134 - May 2002
This issue's cover is from Smog the City Dog by Adria Meserve as discussed by Martin Salisbury. Thanks to Random House Children's Books for their help with this May cover.
Catherine MacPhail
(Bloomsbury Publishing PLC)
192pp, 978-0747555049, RRP £4.99, Paperback
Buy "Run, Zan, Run" on Amazon
This first novel by MacPhail, now published in paperback, deals with a social issue, bullying in this instance, embedded in a thriller. Katie is the only child of loving, comfortably off, parents, but this perfect life is marred by bullies. Attacked on her way home from school, Katie's tormentors are seen off by a nameless girl Katie comes to call 'Zan' after the box in which her rescuer lives. Zan, on the run from circumstances which are revealed at the end of the book, hides out in derelict buildings and waste ground. She knows how to take care of herself, and empowers Katie to do likewise. MacPhail's bullies are unattractive characters and Run Zan Run is very much onside with the bullied. When Katie's teachers discuss bullying in terms of problems which might have led the bullies to behave as they do, Katie is emphatic that this is an attitude behind which bullies may hide and carry on their terrorising of those weaker or more defenceless than themselves. She also raises the question of bullying behaviour, which when stamped out in school, is merely relocated to other sites such as Katie's route home from school. Important issues are raised in Run Zan Run and its thriller framework makes it a book which will be read for its action centred plot rather than any social messages contained within it. This is laudable, but all the more pity then that a rather overly melodramatic conclusion may strain a reader's suspension of disbelief. Originally published in 1994 MacPhail has since then written books which, to a greater extent, foreground her ability to develop character and portray domestic situations.

» Arab Banking Summit Debates Role to Further Financial Inclusion
Arab Banking Summit Debates Role to Further Financial Inclusion
Raghu Malhotra | July 3, 2013
Last week we were in Vienna, where we participated in the Union of Arab Banks' International Arab Banking Summit and joined a critical discussion about financial inclusion opportunities for the unbanked in emerging markets. This special invite came from the union's Chairman, who also graciously requested that I join the forum as a member; a great honor that is traditionally reserved only for CEOs and Chairmen from the banking community.
MasterCard has been active in the Middle East for more than two decades, and during this time we have become embedded in the Arab Banking community. The theme of the summit was "The role of the Arab banking sector in civil capacity building and facing the challenges of post-conflict phase." We shared our thoughts on the responsibilities the sector has in creating opportunities for communities, especially in the wake of the sensitive political situation in various markets.
There was a healthy debate with strong opposing views on the role of financial institutions to further financial inclusion. Some representatives argued that it is the role of governments rather than the banking community to further this cause.
We believe that the Arab banking sector needs to play a key role towards not only inspiring confidence amongst key stakeholders including the consumers, but also to perform the crucial task of bringing banking to the previously unbanked in emerging markets – which helps communities to help themselves.
MasterCard has been active in the financial inclusion space across the globe. In fact, also last week we launched a ground breaking mobile payment wallet in Egypt, which has the power to bring financial inclusion to the 65% of the Egyptian market lacking access to formal banking products.
Through education and innovative offerings that move beyond the traditional platforms, we as industry leaders have the power to reach millions of people in the Middle East who can in turn drive their economies by participating in the banking sector.
What do you think? Should financial institutions shoulder the responsibility for furthering financial inclusion within their communities, or is this the Government's prerogative?

Developing New Pathways to Catalyze Inclusive Growth
Ramy Kheder | July 8, 2013 2:54 AM
Financial institutions should shoulder these responsibilities, however the government also should control and own part of the responsibilities due to the role and impact government institutions play in countries and societies. Although this is said, we as MasterCard play a major role in guiding these institutions and governments by providing top of the shelf technologies and avoid getting out of the picture by identifying the benefits we bring in business management, risk management, cost saving and revenue generating as MasterCard work towered diversity and invest in core business.

Burning weapons during Jesus' millennial reign
In several commentary articles featured on WND, I have been addressing the oracle of Ezekiel 38 and 39, and showing why we should understand it to parallel other Antichristic prophecies and passages. In other words, I have explained why Gog is the Antichrist/Beast and why Gog's hordes are one and the same with the armies of the Antichrist. But while there are numerous very clear reasons to support this view, there remain several objections that seem to maintain traction among those who hold to the popular view that Gog and the Antichrist are two different individuals. In this article, I want to dismantle one of the most common of these arguments.
Ezekiel, Magog and the Scythians
The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39, often referred to as the Battle of Gog and Magog is hands-down, one of the most influential end-time prophecies in all of Scripture. But it is also arguably one of the most misinterpreted prophecies. In previous articles, I've explained that while many prophecy teachers claim that Ezekiel is speaking of a Russia-led invasion of Israel, the historical record and modern scholarship show that it is in fact a Turkish-led invasion. As previously discussed, the popular but faulty line of reasoning many follow to conclude a Russian-led invasion is as follows: 1. Magog and the Scythians are one and the same. 2. The Scythians lived in Russia. 3. Gog, the leader of Ezekiel's invasion, comes from Magog. 4. Thus Ezekiel's prophesied invasion is led by a leader from Russia.

6 Reasons Why Gog is the Antichrist / Beast
Joel Richardson WND For years, students of Bible prophecy have been taught that "Gog," spoken of in Ezekiel 38 and 39, cannot be the same as the Antichrist/Beast spoken of in the New Testament. Among the reasons set forth to argue that the two cannot be the same, none carry any weight.
Ramadan's Escalating Death Toll
Roland Clark On August 11th Afghan interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi reported that Taliban attacks in Afghanistan had risen during Islam's holy month. Three days later forty seven civilians were killed by suicide bombers and 145 were wounded, making it the bloodiest week in Afghanistan...
Muslim Demographics and the Great Delusion
Joel Richardson WND Unlike the subjectivity of our hopes, dreams, speculations and most desperate fantasies, with their rigid and inflexible numbers, demographics force us to face reality. The Christian Church is about to have a head-on clash with a very real demographic giant. Recognizing the epic proportions of this coming clash, some are even now shouting from the rooftops to prepare you for the massive challenge ahead. Others, however, seem to be determined to lull the church back to sleep. "Don't worry," they say, "The giant with suffer a massive heart attack before he even arrives at the battle lines. Go back to sleep."
Joseph Farah on an Islamic Antichrist
An interview from Joseph Farah, who, a very close and lifelong friend of Hal Lindsey. Few people are aware that Farah actually wrote six books with Hal. Here Joseph discusses how he came to recognize the Islamic Antichrist theory, and why it matters. ...
Jerry Sandusky and Muhammad
Joel Richardson WND An article featured last week on CNN's website by Samuel Burke highlighted the epidemic of child brides throughout the Islamic world. Burke's article begins by discussing the marriage of Faiz, an 11-year-old girl, and Ghulam, a 40-year-old man, in Afghanistan. For most who read this article, the story was enough to turn their stomach. But then the story continues. At age 11, this little girl has already been married for seven years. That's right, a 33 year old man married a 3 year old girl. In the article, the little girl expresses how sad she is to be married because she had once dreamed of becoming a school teacher. Now that she is married, however, she will never go to school. Her future will only consist of being a domestic and sexual slave to a 40-year-old man.


Here's the dilemma: "Traumatized patients want clinicians to help them to forget traumatic events, in order to move on with their lives. Clinicians who offer trauma-focused treatments encourage patients to revisit the past, repeatedly and in detail, as a means of processing the traumatic event(s) as a verbally accessible memory." The quote is from an excellent article published in the journal Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience exploring the treatments we offer for trauma and patients' perspectives of these treatments.
How do children experience trauma? How do they report it? How can we help to treat it? The questions are especially complex within a framework where we could do more harm than good if we're not careful; when removing a band aid from a child, it's best to rip it off – but ripping away the protections a child has built around trauma can leave the wound raw and unmanageable and retraumatizing a child can be every bit as real and debilitating as a child's first experience of trauma.
In part, that's why the British Psychological Association recommends that only children older than age 9 recall and verbalize traumatic events like an adult might. The article writes that, "trials… indicate that patients are able and willing to face their past. But they may need to approach it, and tell their stories in different ways." This is especially true of children, who may need to approach trauma through metaphor, both because they may lack the words to describe trauma and because metaphor and symbolic description allows a sense of safety between the child and traumatic events.
The article points out that there is no one, universal treatment for a child's trauma and that practitioners instead adapt their approaches from child-centered play therapy, CBT, EMDR and a handful of other therapies.
But then beyond these specifics, the takeaway seems that treating trauma with caution is more appropriate in children than treating it with probing purpose. In play therapy and all other therapies, it seems best to let a child lead with metaphor closer and closer to his or her trauma.

Q: Modal not opening on dropdown select event in laravel blade In my laravel application, I have a dropdown with three options inside a form.
I'm loading the form options via DB through my controller.
{{ Form::select('roles', $roles , $userRole,array('class' => 'form-control txt_txt','id'=>'chgRole')) }}

This will basically render something like this,
<select class="form-control txt_txt" id="chgRole" name="roles">
<option value="Admin">Admin</option>
<option value="Regional Admin">Regional Admin</option>
<option value="User" selected="selected">User</option>
</select>

Now I want to display a modal with a message when a user selects the 'Admin' option from the dropdown.
This is what I have done so far...

                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>

Role is changing to Admin

Message

But it's not opening up the modal or not even showing any error in the console either...

A: As the Hassan mentioned in a comment you need to pass # to fetch an ID
Since you are loading the option values from the database I would suggest to do the following.
Modal

                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>

Role is changing to Admin

Message

And change your JQuery to this

I use the following code for reading the excel sheet and creating a xml file:
Sub CustomerOutToXML()

   doc.getElementsByTagName("ORDER")(0).appendChild doc.createTextNode(sORDER)

   doc.Save sFile
  Next

 End With

End Sub

Example of the EXcel file
Can you please help me to solve this problem

A: You need to declare sSSCC as String. Then instead of using .Value with your line: sSSCC = .Cells(lRow, 3).Value, use .Text instead (and remove the CLng as well)
Sub CustomerOutToXML()

 sTemplateXML = _

paws4people, along with its subsidiaries paws4vets, paws4prisons and paws4firstresponders is a leading organization in service dog training for those who need help to deal with physical and psychological disabilities, especially the 600,000 vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD and MST disorders in the next five years.
Serving the nation from locations in nine mid-eastern states paws4people, in its variety of forms, delivers a unique combination of amazingly positive benefits to all those it serves. Utilizing dogs bred for service, as well as rescues & donated dogs that qualify, paws4 organizations provide companion and service dogs for disabled youth under 14 years of age and disabled veterans.
Dogs are started on the path to service being raised, and trained to over 100 commands, in five state and federal correctional facilities by inmates who qualify for the in-demand program. The dogs may be transferred in their training to two or more of these facilities. Inmates accepted into this unique program are held to the highest standards of behavior before, and once in the programs, and their dogs demonstrate the levels of qualification, commitment to contribute and the highest levels of training. The success of both the dogs and the prisoners is exceptional. The recidivism rate for prisoners is near zero while the dogs are over 80 percent! This training period can be six to 18 months.
Next the dogs are "bumped" at the prisons with potential highly qualified disabled recipients, and only when a dog chooses a recipient (in a "bump") does a transfer process begin. (A "bump" is the instant and complete demonstration of devotion to a potential recipient that is undeniable when witnessed.) Usually, the potential recipient returns time and again before the dog is permitted to leave with them, and then, only for short periods until a permanent transfer is made.
After the transfer is made and the team (dog and disabled person) is formed, the recipient and dog continue to train at outside private facilities for however long it takes to certify the dog and its partner as a companion or service dog (team). This certification, if at the service level, must be renewed yearly and ability for public-access demonstrated each year.
One potential private facility that the process of training and public-access certification may be completed at is the University of North Carolina Wilmington's Dog Assistance Training Program, a vital part of the paws4 network of organizations. This unique college program is the only one of its kind in the United States. In this 2-4 semester program, students receive 12 credits for learning service dog training "soup to nuts" and finish the training process for one of these dogs and with its recipient, and/or living 24/7 with a "service dog in training "and giving it public-access experience and then transferring it to a qualified disabled recipient. Those who complete the full 4 semesters not only receive a service dog trainer certificate from paws4 but receive their own service dog to employ in in-demand careers of special education, physical therapy, psychology, social work and other integrative professions.
Another private facility is both an opportunity for the dog to complete their certifications and a chance for former inmate-trainers to build their own businesses in partnership with paws4people and "The Dog Wizard", a paws4 for-profit "partner organization." Here the training process once again can be completed for the dog and its qualified disabled recipient, but uniquely also present a former inmate a chance to build their own self-employed future and to contribute back to the paws4 organizations through shared ownership of a business that completes the total paws4 loop.
All in all, paws4people, paws4prisons, paws4vets, paws4firstresponders, and other paws4 brands contribute standards to solve three of our nation's highest needs: companion and service dogs for 600,000 PTSD and MST veterans returning to the USA from Iraq & Afghanistan in the next five years, a low-cost supply of service dogs for disabled youth and a low-cost way out of the endless "inmate/release/inmate circle" which keeps our prisons full and the cost to us all endless.
We at American Dog Rescue are grateful to 12-year-old, Kyria Henry, and her disabled Vietnam veteran dad, Terry Henry, for starting Paws4People twelve years ago, sticking to it through "thick and thin," and thus-far training, and delivering, over 200 service dogs to qualified and needy recipients, changing their lives and their families' lives forever, and in the process building the standards all such organizations can follow to solve three of our nation's greatest problems. Please join us in supporting all these projects and organizations through American Dog Rescue's support for paws4people by clicking here.

MY FINANCIAL CAREER
Stephen Leacock is f famous humorist and writer of many books on the subjects of Economics and Political Science. In this story he writes in first person portraying him and highlights the behavior of foolish people that they show while dealing with some sort of business of foolish people that they show while dealing with some sort of business, which they do not understand. In this connection the writer narrates his personal experience while opening an account in a bank. The nervousness and the awkward behavior of the writer have made the story more interesting.
The author says that he has always been afraid of banks. Whenever he went to a bank, he looked as a fool and his attitude made him a laughing stock. Everything in the bank seemed to frighten him and so he always avoided the bank. But one day, he had to go to a bank because his salary rose to fifty-six dollars. He thought that there was no place with him to keep his money except a bank. Keeping this thing in view he made his way to a bank. As he stepped in the bank, he looked nervous and lost self-confidence on seeing a large number of people. He had an idea that a person intending to open and account must meet the manager. So, he went to the accountant and expressed his desire to see the manager alone.
The accountant brought the manager to him and the writer told him that. He wanted to see him alone. Because of his mysterious behavior, the manager was alarmed and took him to his private room. He locked the door and both sat down looking at each other. The writer did not know how to open the subject. He had created a mysterious atmosphere that confused the manager. He thought, perhaps, he was a detective. So he asked the writer it he were from Pinkerton's detective firm.
The author negated him and said by realizing his nervousness a bit that he had come to open an account. This situation misled the manager and he thought the writer a son of a millionaire, as the people do not consult the manager for small accounts. When the author told him that he had come to deposit fifty-six dollars only, the manager got furious and spoke the writer to go to him. In confusion, the author headed towards the iron safe instead of going towards the door. The manager addressed him harshly and showed him the other way.
The writer went to the account and handed over the money to him. At that time he was very puzzled and was experiencing a strange condition. He was directed to sign some paper. When the account had been opened, it occurred to the writer that he had deposited all his money and he had left him with on money for the current use. So he thought to draw six-dollars and asked for a chequebook. Some one told him how to write the cheque. Due to confusion, the writer wrote fifty-six dollars instead of six. He handed over the cheque to the clerk without having a second glance at it. The clerk was surprised and asked the author whether he wanted to draw all his money. Then the author realized that he had done a grave mistake. He had become utterly nervous and could not understand how to explain. All the clerks on the scene stopped working to look at him. He felt so miserable that he burst out and said he wanted to draw every cent of his money from the bank. He tried to gibe an impression that he was a man of quick temper and that the bank staff annoyed him.
The clerk gave him his fifty-six dollars and he went out of the bank. The author heard a roar of laughter behind him when he was leaving. After that dismal experience he never went to the bank. Now he keeps money in his trousers pocket and his saving in silver coins in his socks.

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by emhan98, Oct 27, 2013.
iPhoto produces many smaller sized photos of your originals for fast browsing.
Be carefull between the originals and the smaller photos.
Do you want to copy the photos only and loose all the albums and grouping they have already? If yes go ahead with what you are trying to do.
In your original Library in your old Mac, make a backup if you haven't.
Then go to the originals folder and copy them to your new library in the new Mac.
Another way, and probably the one I should have suggested first is to use Migration Assitant to move all the things from your old Mac to the new one. This helps maintaining integrity between the old library and the new one.
Otherwise you need to also copy the whole library with some of the now hidden folders. Apple trying to simplify the user experience hid some of the background stuff from the users in the Finder.
(a) I couldn't use Migration Assistant b/c my older mac was at such an old OS that they couldn't connect.
"In your original Library in your old Mac, make a backup if you haven't.
Then go to the originals folder and copy them to your new library in the new Mac."
Can you tell me - what do you mean by "originals folder"? Is that something different from just copying the whole "iphoto library" over to the new computer?
The original photo files are placed inside a folder.
In the newer versions of oPhoto they are within the library package.
Right click the library and select show contents or something worded like it (in am writing from my iPhone, can't get the exact reference).
With this it will open the folders inside the Library, and from there you can copy any specifics of you want to copy simply the files.
Again if you only copy the photos they will be like that just the photos and not the albums and the other things you may had created with them.
In the newer versions of iPhoto there other library things that are located inside the user folder.
However when you copied the old library to the new Mac, and the you open it from iPhoto, it should be good to go.
Maybe you need to use Disk utility to repair the permissions to make things clean for your anew Mac's user. If you didn't use the Migration Assitant the new Mac has a different user than your older Mac for OS X things.
Thanks this is very helpful - off hand, do you know what I need to try to copy over specifically to get the photos and albums?
I've also wondered about the permissions issue - I just don't understand why it worked in the previous rMBP (that I returned) but not with this one. That said, when I check the permissions on the actual library file (using the simple "get info"), it said that I have read/write permissions - is that not enough?
If I use Disk Utility, do I risk losing anything?
Also, can iPhoto Library Manager help in any way?
No need to be sorry, asking questions and getting answers is the main goal of this forum.
Sorry for my bad spelling (iPhone typing).
With Disk Utility you can manage all your Hard Disks, so be careful NOT to click on Erase the Disk.
To repair permissions, it is very straight forward, in Disk Utility just select the Hard Disk drive and click on Repair Permissions and it would repair all of them.
I have Lion in my Mac. I haven't used the iPhoto Library Manager so I don't know about it.
My Library got very big ~150GB therefore I am using Aperture instead of iPhoto, but I managed to get the iPhoto library transferred to it.
The way to maintain the integrity of the Library is to open the Library in your new Mac. So if you copy the old Library to your new Mac it should be able to open it after updating it.
) unless you want it to. This might me the source of all those extra photos that you are seeing??

Dangerous weather events like hurricanes and major snow storms don't sneak up on us unexpectedly. If you're a roof consultant, or a property or facility manager, tenants and their customers are not going to cut you any slack if the building's roof experiences preventable damage.
The worst thing a property management firm can do is to procrastinate before taking precautions, observes CKR Property Management CEO Caroline Kane in an article she prepared for Forbes. "Weather," she writes, "is happening all around you. There's no reason that it should happen to you." Here are ways you can prepare for a major weather event.
The National Apartment Association tells members that educating residents may be even more essential than your own preparation for a storm. Your building tenants may not be paying attention. It's wise to have a plan in place that includes advising them of approaching dangerous weather. You have both your property and the wellbeing of tenants to consider.
Zurich Insurance gathered and shared some sobering statistics about safety during the winter months. Ice and snow contribute to more people being injured or killed during the winter months than other times of the year. The organization recommends reducing property damage and accidents by having a written winter hazard control program in place that includes information and preparation checklists.
One important way you can stay prepared is to stay abreast of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) seasonal outlook reports.
Major weather events during the winter can dump dangerous accumulations of snow on roofs – especially if they are flat. It creates the potential for structural overload, which can lead to collapse. Recent additions of rooftop installations such as data dishes or even solar panels contribute both additional load and might create opportunities for snow drifts.
It's important to have an assessment by a commercial roof professional to inspect for potential problems. They can confirm the roof's snow load capacity and help you to create a roof snow removal plan. Technology can help, too. There are snow roof alarm systems available that offer automatic monitoring and create real-time alerts. The need for a snow load monitoring and removal program is even more important for older commercial buildings. Before 1993, ASCE building codes allowed for lower roof snow-load requirements.
Weather around the world is changing and increasing hazards. We might get a warning to prepare, but the intensity of a weather event can still catch us off-guard. Historic Hurricane Sandy had only 70 mph winds when it came ashore Atlantic City, New Jersey in 2012. Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina with sustained winds of 90 mph, menacing the entire east coast and ultimately causing 51 fatalities.
Meanwhile, a major snowstorm the day after Easter this year brought accumulations of more than two inches an hour to places like New York City. It left more than 17,000 homes and businesses in Pennsylvania without power. More recently, Winter Storm Avery produced unexpectedly high snowfalls throughout the northeast, freezing commuter rail train switches and causing a 10-hour commute home for some New Yorkers.
Preparation for these weather events has to occur before the seasons which generate them. It begins with understanding what types of weather events might actually be capable of occurring in your area. These maps of historical hurricane, tornado, and tsunami strikes might surprise you.
The Facility Executive website reminds us that a commercial roof system is the buildings first line of defense from natural hazards. It's an investment and a commitment. They recommend a year-round proactive approach that prepares for the upcoming season as the current season ends.

Q: how to backup SSISDB catalog (not just the DB) I am not sure if I know what I'm doing: I am trying to backup "Integration Services Catalogs", seen in the picture below.

But all the instructions I get is to backup the SSISDB database. All I am familiar with is the catalog, that's where I go to "execute" my packages.. I know executing is just running some commands/script to run SPs within SSISDB database, but 1) if I was to make a backup of SSISDB, would that also give me a full backup of the catalog too?? How so? So restoring the DB would give me back my catalog ???
If the answer is yes, why do I need to BACKUP MASTER KEY Transact-SQL statement as part of the backup procedure (according to my studies), wouldnt this just be a simple DB backup???
Thank you very much in advance

A: Everything in the catalog is stored in that database, so yes, backing up that database backs up the entire catalog.  Also there is encryption happening in the catalog, so having a backup of the master key makes sense.  But notice that this article states that this is not required.

I have noticed a couple of things at the jam sessions I attend that could stand a little improvement. First, it seems that almost all of us tend to play our songs a bit faster than the original versions. I'm not sure why that is, but it doesn't allow for some of the special qualities of the song to be brought out in the jam session performances. Second, it seems that there are participants who can't detect that their instrument is out of tune. That seems like it should be easily corrected with the availability of the electronic tuners that most guitar players use. In a jam session environment one poorly tuned instrument can make it sound like someone is playing poorly, or it can make the whole performance sound like a train wreck.
One thing I started doing when I bought my first electronic tuner was to check the tuning on my guitar every day before I begin practicing. It doesn't take much change in the ambient temperature and humidity to change the tuning on your guitar. There are some days when the tuning has not changed from one day to the next, but there are a lot of days when there is more than one string slightly out of tune. Since I like to sing as I play my guitar, I consider it extremely important for my guitar to be totally in tune. Otherwise I might actually be singing slightly off-key to adapt to my out of tune guitar.
If your guitar becomes difficult to tune, or if it still doesn't sound quite right even when the tuner says it is in tune, it is time to change the strings. I know that changing strings is not the most fun thing to do with a guitar, but if you practice every day your strings will wear out and they will not produce the quality of sound your guitar is capable of. I have found that using a soft cloth to wipe off the strings after I practice seems to add a bit of longevity to my strings. I know some strings do wear better than others and the best strings are not typically cheap. However, when I hear players say it has been 6 months or more since they changed strings, I know their guitars would sound much better if they would change the strings more often.
I alternate my practice between 2 guitars and sometimes a 3rd, and I have found that my strings sound great for about 2 months and OK for about another month. By the end of the 3rd month the strings have worn to the point where the sound they produce has deteriorated enough that I don't enjoy practicing. Then I know it is time to put on new strings, and I clean and polish the guitars at the same time. Now I'm just talking about acoustic guitars in this article. I think you can probably get away with using older strings on your solid body electric because your electronics will probably compensate for the loss of tonal quality in the older strings. If you use strings too long they will wear enough that they might break while you're playing.

Breach of Privilege
Recently, Congress has given notice for breach of privilege against the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister in Lok Sabha.
What is Parliamentary Privilege?
Parliamentary privilege refers to rights, immunities and exemptions enjoyed by Parliament as an institution and MPs in their individual capacity, without which they cannot discharge their functions as entrusted upon them by the Constitution.
When any of these rights and immunities are disregarded, the offence is called a breach of privilege and is punishable under law of Parliament.
A notice is moved in the form of a motion by any member of either House against those being held guilty of breach of privilege
What are the Rules Governing Privilege?
The Constitution (Article 105) mentions two privileges,i.e. freedom of speech in Parliament and right of publication of its proceedings.
Rule No 222 in Chapter 20 of the Lok Sabha Rule Book and correspondingly Rule 187 in Chapter 16 of the Rajya Sabha rulebook governs privilege.
A member may, with the consent of the Speaker or the Chairperson, raise a question involving a breach of privilege either of a member or of the House.
The rules mandate that any notice should be relating to an incident of recent occurrence and should need the intervention of the House.
What is the Privileges Committee?
In the Lok Sabha, the Speaker nominates a committee of privileges consisting of 15 members as per respective party strengths.
A report is then presented to the House for its consideration.
The Speaker may permit a half-hour debate while considering the report.
The Speaker may then pass final orders or direct that the report be tabled before the House.
A resolution may then be moved relating to the breach of privilege that has to be unanimously passed.
In the Rajya Sabha, the deputy chairperson heads the committee of privileges, that consists of 10 members.
What is the Role of the Speaker/Rajya Sabha Chair?
The Speaker/RS chairperson is the first level of scrutiny of a privilege motion.
The Speaker/Chair can decide on the privilege motion himself or herself or refer it to the privileges committee of Parliament.
If the Speaker/Chair gives consent under Rule 222, the member concerned is given an opportunity to make a short statement.

The weeks are starting to feel faster. A couple of months ago, on Sunday night, I'd start to get anxious about the impending week and how it would feel long, hard, and lonely. Then, I'd start to get anxious Sunday afternoon in anticipation of the Sunday evening routine and the impossible-to-ignore awareness that the weekend was almost over and the week would soon be upon us. Unlike some people, this dread isn't about working or not liking my job; in fact, I'm blessed to love my job and I work some on weekends anyway, so weekends and weekdays are often not appreciably different in that way. Mostly, I think, I'd feel sad about being alone so long during each day, not getting a chance to see Ben, and fending off physical pain and depression in isolation.
I'm not so much feeling that way recently, which is a welcome development. I still cherish the weekend time and enjoy the companionship and the more relaxed vibe that characterizes our weekends together, but I'm doing better alone as well. I'd say the pleasant spring and summer weather is the main attributable factor: I'm so much happier when I'm not freezing and there is abundant sunshine to soak up outside. Although not wholly healed, my foot is also better, restoring much of my significantly compromised mobility from the end of the winter and the early spring. Both of these factors result in more outdoor time, which almost always mitigates my anxiety and lifts my mood. If I am completely immobile or stuck inside for weeks or months on end with injury or illness, one of my necessary "tools" to moderate my mental health is missing and so I feel unequipped and justifiably anxious that I won't be able to handle it well. It's somewhat like repairman being stripped of her ratchet set or drill but still getting called to a job. She knows she can improvise somewhat, but without some key tools, she would feel nervous and more doubtful of her command over the repair. Give her those tools back, and she's ready to effectuate the repair with confidence.
In addition to improved weather, less foot pain, and more mobility, I'm excited about my life right now. This may be the first time I've truly felt this way in almost a year, when I decided to forego the prosthetics residency and found a job that suited me well. It's a beautiful thing when, despite numerous and pervasive challenges, you can feel content, and even sparked by your everyday life. The addition of this new job, though undeniably adding responsibility and some amount of stress, is invigorating. I really like what I'm doing and who I'm working with so far and it's a near-perfect complement to my other job in terms of its different demands, purpose, and focus. I can't wait to learn more each day and discover ways that I can be helpful and fill obvious and also unanticipated voids and needs.
I'm also continuing to find satisfaction and better self-understanding and self-compassion through my journaling and blogging. Writing gives me time to think, grieve, appreciate, analyze, strategize, and inspire. It helps me dissect and digest some of the many thoughts and emotions swirling about my head on any given day, and it helps me connect with myself and the world. I write about being autistic, having sensory issues, trauma and PTSD, depression and anxiety and physical pain, but also I write about being human and my life and the world through my lenses. As much as I feel different and am different than most people in very obvious ways, it also helps me feel the same and understood, especially when others can relate to my experiences or challenges. I get brief tastes of being as human as I actually am, yet often fail to see from my mental space of "freakishness" and deep, almost metaphysical, loneliness.
Although my progress is never linear and these improvements don't always feel relevant each day, it's useful when I do recognize the trend has changed for the positive. Although that familiar swing of anxiety may catch me on Sunday night, I just need to remind myself that the week is really nothing to fear: not only am I fairly equipped to handle it and grow with it, I may even enjoy it.

Film Corner with Njal Heddle: The Perfection
By njalheddle on June 2, 2019
The Neon Demon of musicals.
The Perfection, Netflix's latest original film starring Alison Williams and Logan Browning, is anything but what its title states. Quite the opposite, in fact. Marketed as a provocative arthouse body-horror, The Perfection proves to be the ol' bait-and-switch, resulting in a tonal mishmash that exudes not horror, but unintentional hilarity.
Former musical prodigy Charlotte (Williams) returns to meet her mentor Anton (Steven Weber) after taking leave to care for her sick mother. While there, she meets Anton's latest star-student Lizzie (Browning), and the two embark on a truly twisted journey.
The Perfection is nothing more than a collection of admittedly interesting (and others not so much) film-making techniques strung together in a monumentally cack-handed way, resulting in the film feeling like three different stories glued together. Badly. One part wannabe Hitchcock thriller, one part 2000's creature-feature body-horror, and another part Scream 5 test-footage, and final part abused vs. abuser redemption story. While the framing and lighting occasionally impresses, it can hardly mask such storytelling flaws.
The film begins rather strongly, holding on long, ambient shots of the environment and Alison Williams' mug that clearly establish a morose and melancholy tone, and an intriguing under-reliance on dialogue and some poorly directed and acted sensuality. This is dropped almost twenty minutes later in favour of gross-out CGI "horror". Then, in a bizarre but sadly unsurprising move, the film rewinds itself to explain this first twist. This happens more than once, instilling fear that the film will force you to relive itself.
This poor technique is where The Perfection firsts starts to fail. It encapsulates the laziness of the storytelling and the of the film-making itself, proving to be laughable and killing any iota of tension the film had built up. From there on out, it all goes to hell. The revelations behind certain character motivations seem so totally unfounded that, instead of pulling a Psycho and making you live in fear for the rest of the film, you find yourself laughing at pieces of human cardboard trying to kill each other. OR ARE THEY? Motivations for these motivations are indeed saved for the sake of a twist, but had the audience known previously, even been hinted at it slightly, the film may have not failed on the level it has. And considering the focus on music throughout the film, certain audio aspects beggar belief (one climactic music change from classical to hip-hop stands out as particularly funny).
A rather insulting aspect of the story is the theme of abuse assumed throughout the film's final act being very noticeably influenced by the #MeToo movement. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with a story assuming much more important themes concerning real-life issues, especially regarding as progressive a movement as that, the delivery of those themes, in dialogue and visual aspects, amidst the tonal calamity the film exudes feels tacked on and unearned. Had the film focused on aspects such as this a bit more, rather than on making it twistier than a buggered corkscrew, it may have fared better as a piece of timely art. Such references deserve better representation. Even Halloween (2018) knew that.
Williams, clearly opting for Scream-Queen status following Get Out, within the opening twenty minutes, she is quite impressive. Her body-language showing her character brilliantly, and she proves a capable physical actress. However, after this display, she is simply awful. Not one line is delivered convincingly, nor ever appears as human as her character seems to be. Browning, meanwhile, proves to nearly be the opposite. During William's shining opener, she fails to convince as a human being. However, once things begin to run amok, she emotes like crazy. She, quite simply, becomes the best part of the film due to her noticeable commitment to this lunacy.
Netflix seems to make a mild killing in releasing visually impressive films that have no effort put into their stories, and The Perfection is sadly no different. While it shows signs of potentially interesting experimentation, these only serve to disappoint. Shabbily directed, poorly-acted, awfully edited, and unimaginatively-written, this is one big bum note.

Tablescaping isn't everybody's forte. Making a beautiful table for Passover is important, but it's sometimes the last thing on your mind when you are in the midst of cleaning and cooking. I believe that when your guests arrive and see a table set in a special way that they feel special and the food might taste even that much better because of how the table is set. Because tablescaping is definitely not my best skill, here are a few tips that I will use myself this Passover.
Pick a theme: It is sometimes easier when creating the design for your table that you pick a theme to base the color scheme on. It's also fun to create name place cards based on the theme and even the style of tablecloth. Some theme ideas are: the desert (click for full instructions on how to make the above table), freedom, or even the ten plagues. Give your kids a chance to help with your theme by making name place cards or even decorating a tablecloth.
Layer, Layer, Layer: According to The Jewish Hostess the key to tablecaping your Seder table is to start with the tablecloth and then layer the chargers, linen napkins, plates and napkin rings. Also, you can start with a bold colored tablecloth and then more subtle napkins etc. or a white tablecloth and go crazy with the colors of the other layers. Try different textures and colors for your linens and tableware; it will add a WOW factor everyone will remember! Also check out the article by The Jewish Hostess because she highlights a lot of great themes and ideas.
Pick Tableware Fit For Royalty: When you are picking your tableware for the Seder remind yourself that we are meant to feel royal. You don't have to pick expensive items, but pick something that will make you and your guests feel special. Whether its a special charger to go under the plates or fabulous napkin rings try to pick at least one piece that has a WOW factor!

Saturday I met Marc50. Sunday I met another long-time Flickr friend – Ed Clem, the Duck Hunter.
Ed and I have been online friends for several years now. We started commenting on each other's photos first on Flickr, then started following and commenting on each other's blogs, and have both been active on Facebook and Google+. I feel like I know Ed fairly well, but there's just one catch – we had never met in person. That is, until Sunday. Ed loves history and rambling about as much as I do. So we decided to get together and see what we could find in the Pickens-Oconee areas.
I picked up Ed at his home, then we headed for our first stop, Cateechee. This is an old mill village that has suffered the fate of so many in the upstate. The mill has closed, and has now been torn down. The little community has long been in decline. There are still two churches with active congregations, but any form of commerce is long gone.
Cateechee is an isolated village where the mill is the only real employer, similar to Slater, Newry or Startex. As one enters the main village loop, the old Cateechee School can be seen off to the right.
Some of the brickwork and architectural details are quite interesting. There were No Tresspassing signs everywhere, so we respected the signs and did not enter. I would love to know who owns the old building, and whose permission we would need in order for a visit.
…and other rusty bits. All of these were blocked off with chain link.
From Cateechee we took Lay Bridge Road down toward Twelve Mile Creek. This area has been in the news lately because of removal of dams on the river. There is some controversy that the removal of the dams is stirring up PCB contaminants, and that this is actually getting on the roads as construction machinery stirs up the rivers.
We stopped to take a look at the dam removal area.
Just beyond this was Lay Bridge itself, an interesting rusty iron bridge.
I've heard that the creek will be an excellent whitewater venue once the dam removal is done. The views upstream hint at what's to come.
Our next stop is one on my list of Ghost Towns. All that remains of the Old Pickens Courthouse is the Presbyterian Church. The rest of the town is long gone.
The doors to the church were locked, and there was a sign saying that it would be open from 2:30 until 5:30 that afternoon. Since it was still morning we wandered around the grounds looking at the cemetery.
The church was built in 1850, and some of the graves are from that era. Some are elaborate, with epitaths and carvings.
Others appeared to be hand-chiseled. Here the word "died" is misspelled.
There also seemed to be lots of children's tombs.
On the southwest side of the church is an even more unusual cemetery. Evenly spaced rows of markers indicate where graves were relocated when Lakes Keowee and Jocassee inundated the area. Other markers indicated where the graves were originally.
By this time we were getting really hot, and we had other places to visit. Our next stop took us along the banks of the Keowee down to the town of Newry. Both of us had visited before, but Ed had never been inside the old mill. We approached from the same general direction that Houston and I had traveled when we paddled up this way.
We only entered the basement area because the stairs looked a bit treacherous. This time, though, I had my tripod and Ed had his flash. We got some good shots of the interior and of the unique lighting and textures in the old mill.
Again, I could have stayed and explored, but it was rather hot. We headed back to Liberty to grab some lunch, then made a couple of stops in town. First there was a rather large church that had been abandoned. The architecture looks like it was a Baptist or Methodist church, but it now sits empty.
Nearby was an old brick warehouse with interesting angles and textures.
And finally, there was the Rosewood School. As with many former schools, this one had been repurposed as a community center. The old school architecture was still unmistakeable.
It was a fantastic day, and it was great to finally meet Ed in person. As always on these trips, I'm amazed at how each person approaches a subject just a bit differently. Ed has some excellent shots from the day which are definitely worth checking out. I'm hoping this is just the first of many future collaborations.
Great write up on our journey. We'll definitely have to get together again. You got a lot of great shots and gets me thinking of ways to improve my photography.


You know those expressions that are a pain to translate to/from Italian? Awkward words that don't behave, that stubbornly resist your best attempts, that never seem to come out nicely first time. Or second time. Those.
Ever wondered if your lovely colleagues have found a quick and elegant way to crack some of them? Well now there's a chance to find out. The upcoming ITI conference in Cardiff will feature a session for Italianists and Italophiles on the Saturday morning (20 May 2017), where you can compare notes and tap into the collective wisdom of your compagni di viaggio. Over a cup of proper coffee. What could be finer?
So till then, make a note of any of your "favourite" troublesome words or phrases, and pass them on to me at oliver@incisiveenglish.pro, ideally as example sentences with a bit of context. I'll collate, add a couple of my own, and we can all pit our wits against them in Cardiff.

Our supporter care team can help. Call us on 0300 456 1155 or email supportercare@redcross.org.uk.
We'll investigate your concern and get back to you as soon as we can.
Do you want to organise your own fundraising event or raise money for us in your spare time?
