Today I get to brag on a dear friend, Ceekay at Thinkin' of Home. Until her recent move she lived close by and we got to hang out quite a bit. She's still in the area, but a little over an hour away, so we don't get to go play as often as we use to. If you know her, then you already love her and her style, if you havn't met her before, then you are in for such a treat. So CK, take it away, I can't wait for everyone to see your lovely home.
Hello everyone...Ceekay from Thinkin' of Home here. I am so excited to guest post at Marty's fabulous blog.
Last year I was faced with one of the biggest decorating challenges of my life. My hubby and I downsized to a Doublewide Mobile Home. After the panic subsided, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work making a home stuck in the 70's, our forever home.
We have replaced, painted, or updated everything except the tubs. I hope you enjoy the tour. Grandiose it isn't, but home and mortgage free....it is!!
My style is what I call Old World with a lot of Grandma's Attic mixed in!
We have a great room effect with the Kitchen, Dining Room and Living Room open to each other.
If you are ever in the Phoenix area, let me know.....Marty and I would love to do lunch with you....see, the table is all ready!
I really do love my black and cream kitchen.
Doing the Laundry is close....but filled with olden goodies...makes it bearable!
I hope you enjoyed the tour. Please visit sometime at Thinkin' of Home. I would love the company!
Can you even believe this is a Doublewide Mobile Home? I think it is fabulous. Thanks so much CK, I have had so much fun getting to brag about you.
If you would like to be featured on Show Off and Inspire, just send me an email.
Aimee at It's Overflowing for Overflowing with Creativity Sat.
Lorie at Be Different Act Normal for Show and Tell Sat.
I would love for you to follow me.
You should be so proud Ceekay!
I love, love ,love it all!
And you know I will be coming to have lunch with you before too long!
Wonderful! Love your vintage touches. Your rolling pins are so cute in their wall holder and I do believe I would WANT to do laundry if I had a space like that!
Hi Marty! Oh, what a treat to get and tour Ceekay's home! She's really got style hasn't she? She has really put together a pretty home. I wish you a blessed Easter to you and your family.
I actually had to reread the post because I thought maybe I missed the words "This was our last home." Holy moley! I cannot believe the magic you worked Ceekay! Well done, A+.
I love Ceekay and I love her home!! She inspired me when I was fixing our camper up so we could live in it for awhile.
Ceekay, your home is beautiful and inspiration to those of us who don't have the large "dream home". When I lived in a mobile home I remember my affluent friend exclaiming "It's just like a home!" I laughed so hard knowing she didn't mean to be offensive. Home is what you make it.
Have a blessed and Happy Easter!
Thanks for showcasing Ceekay and her lovely home!!!
Always inspiring post to follow @ A Stroll Thru Life!!!
Have a blessed and glorious Easter, dear friend!!!
I see a lot of the same things that I love in CeeKay's home. Vintage kitchen tins, bowls, etc. and I think I have the Grandma's attic thing going on too! Thanks for the tour, Marty!
Your tastes and mine are so similar - I love all the vintage and antiques you have. What a warm, wonderful home. Thank you for the tour!
Thanks for featuring Ceekay. She is a dear. Glad she is settled and made this new abode into a warm inviting space that she enjoys. It looks great!
Marty , Ceekay has really done a wonderful job decorating home. I love her style. Her wood floors are gorgeous. I love her sofas and how she has decorated her living room. It is really a beautiful inviting home.
Oh Marty, how sweet to show off such a lovely lady as CeeKay. Having been to her lovely new abode, I can attest that it's indeed beautiful and shows that a classy lady lives there.
I really enjoyed the tour! Ceekay, you have a wonderful sense of style and your home is completely charming. I could get very excited about no mortgage, too!
Love your home CK! I wouldn't have believed it was a trailer, if you didn't tell me!!
your kidding!! wow..should be in a magazine for advertisement!! beautiful.
I loved seeing Ceekay's home, Marty. There are too many lovely rooms and details to rave about! Ceekay has wonderful style and taste, and she had made her new home cozy and inviting. Just love it!
It's a lovely house and the coffee pot, milk jug and sugar bowl with the rabbit are so cute.
It is just fabulous, C.
I love everything about it....and I love your awesome and inspiring personality.
You have been greatly blessed.
Great job, Ceekay! Loved seeing this. Love you, too.
Thank you Marty for highlighting a bit of our home. We did more work this weekend and all the trim is finished except for bathrooms. Whew! You know we will be in this home almost a year! I tried to go to everyone that doesn't regularly come by me to say Hi...I will check again next week....again Thank you and Happy Easter!

Q: $ne query not working with mongoose but working in mongoshell When I execute this mongoose query
FinancedProject.find({_id:{$ne:fb.financedProjects.financedProjectId}).exec( callback);

where fb is an object like this
{
    _id: ObjectId("54das4da9dsa9d4ad4a9");
    name: "some",
    financedProjects: [
       {registry:"147", financedProjectId:ObjectId("13da4sd4sa48da4dsa")},
       {registry:"189", financedProjectId:ObjectId("5d5asd5a4sd5ada5sd")}
    ]
{

the result is undefined and when I execute it in the mongoshell the results are the expected

A: Because financedProjects is an array you have to address the element with [] like:
FinancedProject.find({
    _id: {
        $ne: fb.financedProjects[0|.financedProjectId
    }
}).exec( callback );

EDIT:
mongoose ist JavaScript, so it follows the rules of JavaScript. fb.financedProjects is an array. So if you use the expression fb.financedProjects.financedProjectId this is evaluated to undefined by the JavaScript interpreter, because there is no financedProjectId property within that array (arrays have 0,1,2,3,... as properties). So mongoose does get { $ne: undefined } and has no chance to recognize that you meant the property financedProjectId of the array elements.
To achieve what you want, you can do this:
var arr = [];
for( var i=0; i<fb.financedProjects.length; i+=1 ) {
    arr.push( fb.financedProjects[i|.financedProjectId );
}
FinancedProject.find({
    $not: {
        _id: {
            $in: arr
        }
    }
}).exec( callback );

U.N. launches Sudanese political process to end post-coup crisis
The United Nations said on Saturday it would invite Sudanese military leaders, Lebanon, news ,lbci ,أخبار Sudan,UN,The United Nations said on Saturday it would invite Sudanese military leaders,
The United Nations said on Saturday it would invite Sudanese military leaders, political parties and other groups to take part in a "political process" aimed at ending a crisis unleashed by a coup in October.
U.N. mediation in the weeks after the coup succeeded in reinstating Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, but his resignation last week deepened uncertainty around Sudan's political future and a transition towards elections scheduled for 2023.
Neighborhood-based resistance committees, political parties and other pro-democracy groups have carried out an ongoing campaign of protests under a "no negotiation" slogan, and crackdowns by security forces have left at least 60 dead.
Unless a new course towards a transition and credible elections can be charted, more instability within and beyond Sudanese borders is likely, analysts and diplomats have said.
"All measures taken to date have not succeeded in restoring the course of this transformation," U.N. Special Representative Volker Perthes said in a statement announcing the launch of the U.N.-facilitated process.
"The ... repeated violence against largely peaceful protesters has only served to deepen the mistrust among all political parties in Sudan," he added.
Sudan's military, armed movements, political parties, civil society and resistance committees will be invited to participate, the U.N. statement said.

Q: Match and remove duplicated characters: Replace multiple (3+) non-consecutive occurrences I am looking for a regex pattern that will match third, fourth, ... occurrence of each character. Look below for clarification:
For example I have the following string:
111aabbccxccybbzaa1

I want to replace all the duplicated characters after the second occurrence. The output will be:
11-aabbccx--y--z---

Some regex patterns that I tried so far:
Using the following regex I can find the last occurrence of each character:
(.)(?=.*\1)
Or using this one I can do it for consecutive duplicates but not for any duplicates:
([a-zA-Z1-9])\1{2,}

A: Non-regex R solution. Split string. Replace elements of this vector having rowid >= 3 * with '-'. Paste it back together.
x <- '111aabbccxccybbzaa1'

xsplit <- strsplit(x, '')[[1]]
xsplit[data.table::rowid(xsplit) >= 3] <- '-'
paste(xsplit, collapse = '')

# [1] "11-aabbccx--y--z---"

* rowid(x) is an integer vector with each element representing the number of times the value from the corresponding element of x has been realized. So if the last element of x is 1, and that's the fourth time 1 has occurred in x, the last element of rowid(x) is 4.

A: You can easily accomplish this without regex:
See code in use here
s = '111aabbccxccybbzaa1'

for u in set(s):
    for i in [i for i in range(len(s)) if s[i]==u][2:]:
        s = s[:i]+'-'+s[i+1:]

print(s)

Result:
11-aabbccx--y--z---

How this works:

*

*for u in set(s) gets a list of unique characters in the string: {'c','a','b','y','1','z','x'}

*for i in ... loops over the indices that we gather in 3.

*[i for i in range(len(s)) if s[i]==u][2:] loops over each character in the string and checks if it matches u (from step 1.), then it slices the array from the 2nd element to the end (dropping the first two elements if they exist)

*Set the string to s[:i]+'-'+s[i+1:] - concatenate the substring up to the index with - and then the substring after the index, effectively omitting the original character.

A: An option with gsubfn
library(gsubfn)
p <- proto(fun = function(this, x) if (count >=3) '-' else x)
for(i in c(0:9, letters)) x <- gsubfn(i, p, x)
x
#[1] "11-aabbccx--y--z---"

data
x <- '111aabbccxccybbzaa1'

A: No regex python one-liner:
s = "111aabbccxccybbzaa1"

print("".join(char if s.count(char, 0, i) < 2 else "-" for i, char in enumerate(s)))
# ==> "11-aabbccx--y--z---"

This enumerates through the string, counting occurrences of the current character behind it and only putting the character if it is one of the first 2, otherwise dash.

A: Another way of doing it with pandas.
import pandas as pd

s = '111aabbccxccybbzaa1'
# 11-aabbccx--y--z---

df = pd.DataFrame({'Data': list(s)})
df['Count'] = 1
df['cumsum'] = df[['Data', 'Count']].groupby('Data').cumsum()
df.loc[df['cumsum']>=3, 'Data'] = '-'
''.join(df.Data.to_list())

Output:
11-aabbccx--y--z---

A: Thanks to Wiktor Stribiżew, Stefan Pochmann, and bobble bubble. For the sake of completion, I am posting possible regex solutions discussed in the comments;
This is only doable with a regex that supports infinite width lookbehind. Using Python PyPi regex module we can do the followings:
#python 2.7.12
import regex

s = "111aabbccxccybbzaa1"

print(regex.sub(r'(.)(?<=^(?:(?:(?!\1).)*\1){2,}(?:(?!\1).)*\1)', '-', s)) #Wiktor Stribizew
     ## 11-aabbccx--y--z---

print(regex.sub(r'(.)(?<=(.*\1){3})', '-', s)) #Stefan Pochmann
     ## 11-aabbccx--y--z---

print(regex.sub(r'(.)(?<=(?:.*\1){3})', '-', s)) #Wiktor Stribizew
     ## 11-aabbccx--y--z---

print(regex.sub(r'(.)(?<=(?:\1.*?){2}\1)', '-', s)) #bobble bubble
     ## 11-aabbccx--y--z---

Sleeping is important for our life. Comfortable sleeping keeps our health.
We approach the theme as "biomechanics of 眠" using a Kanji character denoting sleeping.
This study focuses on vibration as the critical sleep-inducing factor. We measured the vibration acceleration on running trains with 3-axis acceleration sensor about 10 railway lines. The sensor is fixed in the trains as illustrated in Fig.1. From the vibration measurement, a relationship is found between the number of sleeping passengers and vibration patterns. Fig.2 shows the frequency spectrums of the vibration acceleration. Low frequency components of vibration and the numbers of sleeping passengers indicate strong positive correlation by statistical analysis(Fig.3).

It has been said that, after the Bible, Plato's dialogues are the most influential books in Western culture. And of the dialogues, the Symposium is the most delightful and accessible, requiring no special knowledge of ancient Greek philosophy or customs. Dramatizing a party in fifth-century B.C. Athens, the deceptively unassuming Symposium introduces--in the guise of convivial after-dinner conversation--profound ideas about the nature of love. In Phaedrus, here published together with the Symposium, Plato discusses the place of eloquence in expounding truth. In both dialogues, Socrates plays the leading role, by turns teasing, arguing, analyzing, joking, inspiring, and cajoling his followers into understanding ideas that have remained central to Western thought through the centuries.

Always a nice tranquil peaceful spot for guests in the summer season, the gurgling waterfall is a romantic spot for our guests to relax and take in the flowers and natural setting of our bed and breakfast. The annual cleaning and re-operning of it are a great sign as it is just one more of the things we do each year to make our Inn a romantic and special place for our B&B couples.

[On ego and beyond ego] Your energy is consumed with protecting, proving, hiding and defending. But if you let go of that, then you get to creating.
Run your life as if you do have a choice.
[On taking responsibility] You want to make me extraordinary because it lets you off the hook.
You're not afraid of dying. You're afraid of dying before the world sees who you really are.
Prayer is asking for that next step, that next clarity; meditation is being still enough to hear the answer.
Once you have an awakening, you can't un-know what it revealed.
Sometimes you have to be willing to let go of something old to grab onto something new. You have to be willing to let a part of you die that you used to be comfortable with in order for another part of you to be born.
Mostly, the world sees you the way you see yourself.
Intimacy–into me I see–wow, that really woke me up! Could I find love by looking into myself?
Sometimes our talent is plain old everyday people skills that have been lost in our fast-paced society—listening, compassion, a sense of humor, and a positive outlook.
When your clarity meets your conviction and you apply action to the equation, your world will begin to transform before your eyes.
[On connection] You have to get very present with yourself, where you are today, what you are proud of, what you forgive yourself for, what you're committed to do and who you're committed to be. By doing that, you're acknowlegding yourself for things done, you're forgiving yourself for things you need to release, you're making a statement on who you plan to become and who you are becoming on a daily basis. It's a lot of work, but it's empowering work because your filling up your tank. You serve people from your overflow, so you are not just filling up your tank and holding the energy sacred for you; you're filling up your tank and holding the energy sacred for people that will be touched by you. See, when you think beyond you, you become more precious and we end up taking care of ourselves that way.

Protesters at the People's Climate March highlight the need to take action on climate change in Washington DC on April 29, 2017, President Trump's 100th day in office. (Rena Schild/Shutterstock.com)

If Democrats Want the Support of Millennials, They Should Cut Ties with the Fossil Fuel Industry
The Lawmakers elected in 2018 must lead one of the biggest government projects in history—a rapid transition to a 100-percent renewable energy economy.
BY Varshini Prakash and Stephen O'Hanlon
As the record of the GOP shows, politicians trying to please Big Oil donors cannot be counted on to make decisions in line with what science says is necessary.
Following a slate of progressive wins in late 2017, all eyes are on the 2018 elections. Many across the political spectrum now think the midterms could be a "Blue Wave"—with Democrats sweeping into office up and down the ballot. But amid all the buzz, a critical question remains: Which Democrats will ride the Blue Wave into power? Will it be those who accept campaign contributions from and act on behalf of wealthy oil and gas executives and lobbyists, or will it be those willing to take a stand against that industry to guarantee a safe and secure planet?
From issues of land sovereignty to environmental racism, there are myriad reasons why we need elected officials to reject the influence of this dirty money. But the conversation becomes all the more urgent when considering the existential threat of climate change, caused in large part by the burning of fossil fuels. To stop record-breaking, life-shattering events like Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the California wildfires from becoming the new normal, scientists say industrialized countries like the United States must take massive action by the early 2020s to transition our economy away from oil, gas and coal-based energy.
Oil and gas executives strive to maintain company profits, which means holding back this very transition. They are adept at using their deep pockets to pressure politicians into carrying out their pro-fossil-fuels agenda. If Democratic candidates choose to let Big Oil ride the Blue Wave this year, the prospects for action at the scale we need are grim. Partnering with these oil and gas executives would not only be disastrous for our society's ability to stop climate change, it would also be deadly for millennial voter turnout. Millennials were crucial to Democratic wins in 2017, and we broadly disapprove of politicians taking money from the companies imperiling our futures. The authors of this article are staff members for the organization Sunrise, which is building an army of young people to break the grip of the fossil fuel industry on our politics.
Over the past eight years, oil and gas magnates like the billionaire Koch Brothers have used their massive wealth to change the direction of major political parties. Republican politicians who support any action to stop climate change immediately face primary challengers from climate deniers.
While the focus of the fossil fuel industry has been the Republican Party, they've spent millions in lobbying and campaign contributions to Democrats. In the 2016 election cycle, the oil and gas industry gave $7.6 million to federal Democratic candidates. Gas pipeline companies gave $1.5 million, and utilities gave $10.1 million. Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, who bills himself as an international climate leader, has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the industry and lets these companies shape climate policy for his state. In 2016, Hillary Clinton received $892,252 only $22,000 less than Trump. The results were clear: Clinton refused to support a carbon tax or a ban on fracking, while Bernie Sanders, who pledged to refuse contributions from fossil fuel executives, had a much more ambitious climate platform.
Right now, many signs point to big opportunities for Democrats in 2018. Trump and the GOP continue to push an unpopular agenda that most Americans see as benefiting the rich at the expense of the middle class. The health care and tax bills are the most unpopular pieces of major legislation in the last 30 years. In part because of this agenda, the generic Congressional Democrat is currently polling 10 points above the generic Republican.
Fossil fuel executives can also see the Blue Wave coming, so we can expect they'll try to pour even more money into buying off Democrats in 2018. If they succeed in co-opting the Blue Wave, it will be nothing short of disastrous for the fight to secure a safe world for our generation. The Democrats we elect in 2018 must lead one of the biggest government projects in history—a rapid transition to a 100-percent renewable energy economy. If elected, they will be the ones debating how ambitious to make landmark climate legislation in 2021. As the record of the GOP shows, politicians trying to please Big Oil donors cannot be counted on to make decisions in line with what science says is necessary.
These debates and policies will shape the course of human history, and it's time progressives started acting like it. In 2018, we need to draw a line. Rejecting the bribes of fossil fuel executives, lobbyists and front groups must be the bare minimum of any party seriously claiming to care about stopping climate change and protecting young people's futures.
For the first time, the millennial generation will be the largest voting bloc in U.S. politics. We're facing down the terrifying reality that within our lifetimes, climate change will transform our world. We come from diverse communities already feeling the impacts of the crisis, so, unsurprisingly, we overwhelmingly support ambitious climate action. Eighty percent of us want to transition America to "mostly" clean or renewable energy by 2030.
This year, Democratic politicians across the country will have a choice: do they want to court the volunteer hours and votes of young people, or the campaign contributions of fossil fuel executives? Those who choose the support of fossil fuel executives will be judged harshly by history, but the consequences may be felt sooner. Despite the projected 'Blue Wave,' Democrats face a difficult and gerrymandered political map in 2018. To win, they will need an energized volunteer army, and that will take the energy and time of tens of thousands from the millennials and Generation Z to pull off. If candidates want our support, refusing money from the people destroying our future is a good place to start.

Varshini Prakash is from Boston and has organized in the climate movement for more than 5 years, leading fossil fuel divestment campaigns on the local and national levels. She is currently the Communications Director for Sunrise.
Stephen O'Hanlon is a proud Pennsylvanian living in Lancaster. He has organized for the past 4 years helping build a powerful progressive movement in Pennsylvania to fight for a government that works for all people, not just a powerful few. He is currently the Pennsylvania Director for Sunrise.

The DNC's New Finance Chair Embodies Everything the Left Hates About the Democratic Establishment
Picking a sector to shun is pointless. Either the Democratic party ends corporate donations entirely across the board, or a different party must be created. To assert that oil company donations are bad, but ignore other sectors such as banking and tech, is patently absurd.

Interesting argument.
Two forces in play: Cash and Equity. Cash is, well, cash. But cash can only buy so much equity. In other words, no amount of cash will sway public opinion in favor of bad ideas. But good ideas don't always have much equity either. Progressive politics is full of great ideas but sometimes no amount of cash will motivate voters off their asses and to the polls.
Which brings us to the Trump Era. Anti-Trump forces have equity that they could not otherwise have purchased - even with contributions to Dem candidates from the fossil fuels (FF) industry. The authors of this article expound on the importance of alternative energy (AE) from a philosophical standpoint but don't address the political organics. If 2 years ago the Democratic Party had led out with alternative energy it would have fallen flat because Trump's (and Bernie's) populism commanded the dialog: AE had no equity.
Right now, however, Trump and Republican betrayal has handed progressivism more equity than money could possibly buy. RIGHT NOW is the time to press for AE as the centerpiece of progressive politics in locking down the Millennial vote.

Look, I'm all for supporting candidates in primaries who plan to take action on climate change. When you talk about taking your ball and going home in the general election, thereby indirectly voting for republicans, you lose me. But then, if 2017 hasn't taught you that there is indeed a difference between the two parties, than I guess nothing will.

Pateros (kiejtése: ) az Amerikai Egyesült Államok északnyugati részén, Washington állam Okanogan megyéjében elhelyezkedő város. A 2010. évi népszámlálási adatok alapján 667 lakosa van.

Történet
Az eredetileg Ive's Landing nevet viselő települést 1886 körül alapította Lee Ives, aki a Methow és Columbia folyók találkozásánál gazdálkodni kezdett; a területen indiánok egy csoportja és körülbelül húsz kínai bányász élt. Ives egy 18 szobás szállót is épített, valamint kompot indított. Az első postahivatal 1895. december 7-én nyílt meg.

1900-ban a helység területének többsége Charles Noslerhez került, aki a Fülöp-szigeteki Pateros településre utalva azt Paterosra nevezte át. 1903-ban a településen négy üzlet és kilenc lakóház állt. Paterost eladták J. C. Steinerhez, aki a vasúti áruszállítás fontos helyszínévé tette azt. Pateros 1913. május 1-jén kapott városi rangot.

1962-ben a Douglas megyei közműszolgáltató 50 évre elnyerte a közeli Wells gát üzemeltetési jogát, amely 1967-ben készült el. Az építés során a település víz alá került, ezért azt elköltöztették; a költöztetés és az infrastruktúra-fejlesztés egymillió dolláros költségeit a közműszolgáltató állta.

A 2014. július 17–18-i erdőtűzben 95 lakóház és egy üzlet semmisült meg.

Éghajlat
A város éghajlata nedves kontinentális (a Köppen-skála szerint Dfb).

Vintage Boats Overhauled With Powerhouse P-51 Mustang Engines
DtRockstar1
Hydroplane.
We all love the P-51 Mustang, it is one of the most iconic fighter planes of World War II. We love the look, we love the ability, the power and the speed of the P-51 and seeing it fly. But down at Detroit Hydrofest, some vintage boats were upgraded with P-51 Mustang engines and now they can really show some speed.
The boats are vintage hydroplane racing boats from 1957, they are already beautiful and fast but they have had some amazing modifications. Some brilliant engineers got the incredible idea to outfit these hydroplanes with Allison V-1710 engines. The Allison V-1710 is an engine commonly used in the P-51 Mustang and the P-38 Lightning. If you can't fly in the sky then you can you still hit the waves.
"Engine and drive were overhauled by George Czarnecki a respected, professional aircraft engine rebuilder of 40 years experience. Miss U.S. is one of less than 10 similar operational vintage Unlimited hydroplane boats of this type that survive today."
These Hydroplanes move through the water so fast that they have rightfully earned the title of "Thunder Boats." If anyone says that boats can't fly, then they haven't seen them hitting the waves with a 1,500 horsepower engine like in this absolutely crazy video.


While the eye of Tropical Cyclone "Veronica" didn't cross the coast, very heavy rainfall and strong winds hit the Pilbara coast of Western Australia.
The wind and very heavy rainfall have now eased, however, road conditions may remain hazardous today and communities may be isolated as flooding continues. Flood Watches and Warnings remain in place for localized flooding in parts of the central and west Pilbara coast and adjacent inland areas, particularly around Marble Bar.
"On the back of the 1 in 100 year, 24 hour total of 360 mm [14.17 inches] that was recorded at Upper North Pole in the 24 hours to 09:00 yesterday, more heavy rain fell in the 24 hours to 09:00 today, with Upper North Pole recording a further 61 mm [2.40 inches]," BOM senior forecaster, Andrea Peace said March 26.
Ex-tropical cyclone Veronica continues moving WSW, parallel to the Pilbara coast, but it's not expected to re-intensify into a tropical cyclone.
However, more showers are expected about the western Pilbara coast today, before easing later in the day.
Roebourne Airport received more than 250 mm (9.84 inches) of rain in just two hours early this morning, 9NEWS reports. As of 05:00 LT, the site had received more than a year's worth of rain during the previous 12 hours.
The airport received 332.4 mm (13.08 inches) of rain since from 09:00 LT, March 25 to 05:00 LT, March 26 - their highest daily total in more than 100 years of records.
Further east, Port Hedland picked up another 134 mm (5.27 inches) of rain overnight, bringing their three-day total to 355 mm (13.97 inches). This is their wettest three-day spell since 1967.
Urandangie recorded 133 mm (5.23 inches) of rain in 24 hours ending 09:00 LT, March 26 - its highest daily total in three years.
I lived here ever since 1968. Love it here. If you live like you were created to be, you will live & have a life more abundantly. Its a very beautiful place.


Every year when the public university result publishes in Bangladesh, we saw the inspiring story in the newspaper like: Day laborer's Girl became First in Medical Exam or Farmer's Boy became First in Dhaka University's Ka Unit. Stories like this inspire us and also deepen our belief that 'Every Child has the potential to do great things in life no matter where they are born or which school they go to'. Although many of us will not admit that in their action and always try their best to put their children in the best schools. But deep down we believe in the amazing creative potential of children.
What if stories like the one mentioned become mainstream and then it's not a story anymore? What if we create a system in school that allows every child to become more creative, push the boundary and give the necessary tools to flourish to reach her maximum potential?
How about we can provide the necessary tools and skills to the teachers in the most rural and remote schools in Bangladesh? Will the students in those schools can give us inspiring stories?
Light of Hope believes in so. We believe that every child has the creative potential to change the world. And the reason we exist in the world is to facilitate that.
edotco Bangladesh also believes so. Telecommunication infrastructure company edotco Bangladesh also believes so. Driven by social commitment, edotco has been working since its commencement for the enhancement of the community, especially for those who remain out of hope. The first pillar of edotco's sustainability efforts is continued commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the various communities living near the tower sites. The Tower to Community project is one of edotco Group's key initiatives where they provide free electricity to the underprivileged community who are detached from national power grids. To-date, edotco has ensured free electricity support to at least 1000 households, including households, mosques, school.
Edotco has a cohesive and advanced plan to work simultaneously with the Government in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing support towards the education sector of Bangladesh. While their core value is to community enrichment, reducing the education gap in those communities and giving children a fair shot at life was a natural choice.
More about edotco Bangladesh later.
The education gap between a child in the top English Medium school in Dhaka and a child in a school located in char in rural District is enormous. But by no means, those children in rural schools are less creative. Our researches already proved that. So, Light of Hope developed an innovative, low-cost and scalable 'School Development Program' to reduce that education quality gap between the top and bottom schools in Bangladesh. Already 300+ schools are under this program and over 100,000+ children are getting the benefits.
And that's how edotco and Light of Hope's values matched. Both agreed to do a pilot project in 2 schools located in Shariatpur District's Naria Upazila under LoH's 'School Development Program'. Under this pilot initiative, more than 1250 students in South Lonshing and Naria Model Govt. Primary School is getting impact now.
The 'School Development Program' usually starts with setting up a library with age-appropriate storybooks to improve reading skills (language skills), imagination and creativity among children.
Giving a storybook to a child is like opening a new world of imagination and possibility.
In the second round, a Science-Lab-In-a-Box is provided to schools with all the necessary science toys and tools so that children can learn about science first hand. Teachers are properly trained and necessary audio-visual contents with science experiments are provided. Now, can these children can learn more effectively and develop their own science projects?
Don't teach everything to children. Show them just enough to make them curious.
The schools received solar-run multimedia classroom developed by Light of Hope called Sputnique. Teachers are trained on how to use the system and lot of learning contents are provided to make learning engaging, interactive and fun for children.
The backpack is an entire solar-run multimedia classroom. Sputnique – Light of Hope invention already impacting 50,000+ people in Bangladesh.
Since teachers are the lifeblood of a school and their skills, their passion and their dedication determine how well a school is going to perform, LoH is giving a life-changing journey for these teachers with year-long training and engagement to perform better as teachers.
Teachers learned how to make creative learning contents to use in the classroom.
While the pilot project is coming to its end, both edotco and Light of Hope are in discussion to expand this project in other sites (communities) where edotco is working. And in the process will continue to reduce the education quality gap between children in rural and urban areas and giving all children in a fair shot to reach their true potential. edotco is managing over 9,900 towers and sites in Bangladesh now. If one site can impact 1250+ students in just two schools, how much impact can be created in the next 5-10 years?
This project is a statement that shows when two organizations with the same value and belief work together, amazing things can happen.
Even a $200-school library can give Million $ return in future.
edotco is the first regional and integrated telecommunications infrastructure services company in Asia, providing end-to-end solutions in the tower services sector from tower leasing, co-locations, build-to-suit, energy, transmission and operations and maintenance (O&M).
edotco operates and manages a regional portfolio of over 29,000 towers across core markets of Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. edotco strives to deliver outstanding performance in telecommunications infrastructure services and solutions.

Invest in Saxony-Anhalt>News>Report INVEST>Paradisaically good - Freeze-dried fruits from Saxony-Anhalt for the whole world
Freeze-dried fruits from Germany for the whole world
Paradiesfrucht from Saxony-Anhalt produces the fruity ingredients for muesli, tea and chocolate worldwide
It is almost silent in the room where fresh fruit becomes dried fruit. Every now and then there is a loud clicking noise. The huge tunnel in which that happens is reminiscent of recumbent milk tanks in a dairy. Fruits are freeze-dried in the tunnel. The process of sublimation, in which the ice in the frozen fruits evaporates, takes ten to fourteen hours – at minus 18 degrees and in a vacuum. Freeze-dried fruits, which are non-perishable for two to three years and retain their full taste, are what remain.
Production manager Thomas Grothe crosses the tunnel room with long steps. In the next hall, employees in cotton wool jacks push trolleys full with sheets of dried fruits. It smells of raspberries and bilberries. Fruits such as apple or physalis, strawberries or pineapples are processed here. About 2,000 barrels leave the company every year: this is about 14,000 tonnes of wet fruits. But also fish, meat and herbs – anything that can be freeze-dried. Paradiesfrucht has already received several awards, most recently the Enterprise Award of the Association of East German Savings Banks (OSV).
Paradiesfrucht is on a course for growth. The production facilities at the company in the town of Salzwedel in the north of Saxony-Anhalt have been working to capacity for years. Business is booming. "There are not many companies which serve this market", says managing director Bernd Wiesner. "You need capital and know-how." The process is technically demanding. This must be imagined as if you are hanging out laundry in the winter. At first the fruits freeze stiff, and then they still eventually dry, says Bernd Wiesner in comparing freeze-dried fruit and frozen laundry.
The company offers a total package. The concept not only encompasses processing and sales, but also services for customers which are exclusively business clients. This includes all well-known major manufacturers of cereals, tea and chocolate products. The procurement managers in Salzwedel know when their clients need supplies again. Then they offer them new deliveries.
Freeze-dried fruits from Saxony-Anhalt are found in muesli mixtures or in tea just as well as in chocolate. "Chocolate manufacturers can no longer do without us", reveals Bernd Wiesner. Pieces of fruit from Paradiesfrucht are found in the products of all major manufacturers. "But we also develop our own crunchy products, such as small cubes or small plates of fruit for the market in the USA."
Paradiesfrucht originally derived from the business with fruit concentrates. This business is a market with fierce competition, says Bernd Wiesner. The enterprise in Lower Saxony managed by the Jahncke family sold the concentrate business in 2007 and focussed on freeze-drying. It is long since known that this was the right decision.
Paradiesfrucht opted for the Saxony-Anhalt location in 2004 because here there were subsidies, well-trained workers and the prospect of motorway access. And ultimately the proximity to Lower Saxony was a decisive factor. Paradiesfrucht received plenty of support from the city and the administrative district during the settlement process.
The company started with 24 employees; in the meantime there are 180 employees. Paradiesfrucht intends to grow more by the end of the year. The plant was originally conceived for one-fifth of current production. And this is to be expanded even more, because the appetite of clients for products from Paradiesfrucht is large. So production capacity had to be added this year.
More than half of all "paradise fruits" are exported. "All over the world", summarises Bernd Wiesner, adding "to the USA, Australia, Asia and South Africa as well as throughout Europe. We have our own offices in China, Kiev, Manchester, Boston, San Francisco and Moscow."

Let's start off by saying that I, like TodaysOrlando.com blogger Diana, was over-the-moon excited about Festival of Bacon for months leading up to this past weekend's event. The minute I heard about it, I couldn't contain my excitement. I told EVERYONE about it. What better thing to do on a Saturday in Orlando than go to a festival dedicated to this versatile pork product? It's like tailgating times 10, without having to yell and scream at a football game afterward (though, to be honest, I love to do that on a Saturday in Orlando too. Go Knights!!).
I arrived at Orlando Festival Park around 12:30, and was immediately overwhelmed by the parking situation. All the lots around the festival grounds were packed. I started to get nervous that my friend, who has a disability and hard time walking distances, wouldn't find a spot close enough, but we got lucky with a paid lot right next to the event. Problem solved!
Once through the gate, we got in line to purchase our Bacon Bucks, the official currency of Festival of Bacon. Here was challenge #2 — the currency exchange only accepted cash. In the age of Square, I feel there's really no excuse to not accept plastic, but the bacon masters set up ATMs at the entrance of the event for my convenience. Thanks!
It was a hot, HOT day, and I was parched. Before I could fully enjoy the salty goodness of the festival I had to get a beverage, and I wasn't disappointed in the selection, that's for sure. There were bacon dishes everywhere, but equally as many alcohol vendors. Jägermeister, Jim Beam and other vendors provided bacon cocktails. One of my favorites was the bacon beer from Shipyard Brewing Co. – a flavorful beer with bits of bacon infused in it.
Now, for the moment I had waited for — sweet bacon consumption! I couldn't get to the first tent fast enough. Bacon burger sliders, bacon cupcakes and confections, bacon tacos, and several stands just handing out slices of bacon — it was great! I spent the majority of my time in the free bacon lines. There were little stands in multiple locations that handed out a slice of bacon to everyone who could make it to the front of the line, and I did just that. Several times.
Free bacon! Just get in line and get a piece!
By far the best part of the event was the candied bacon ice cream. A-maz-ing. The ice cream had the sweet, slightly salty flavor of maple, brown sugar and vanilla bean, similar to that of butter pecan ice cream. And there were little crunchy bacon bits mixed in at just the right proportion, offsetting the sweetness. I wish I could have bought a gallon.
The ice cream was a little soupy, but sooooo good!
Even if you weren't standing in line for bacon or consuming bacon or drinking a bacon beverage, there were lots of other aspects of the festival to enjoy. There was mechanical bull riding and a DJ playing party music on the west side of the grounds. If you were too hot to dance you could play oversized Jenga or grab a snow cone to cool down. There was a bounce house and giant inflatable slide for kids, which were awfully popular with the 8 and younger crowd. Under a big tent in the back was a large projector screen showing college football, which was a truly brilliant and generous move on the part of event organizers. After all, it is football season.
On the east side, buffered by a line of trees (hallelujah shade!) and rows of vendors, was a stage with live music. Several acts played, but I was especially excited to see Ben Prestage. The one-man band played a couple of drums with his feet, the guitar, and a harmonica, as well as sang. His folksy bluegrass music was a nice contrast to the club scene on the other side of the festival.
Sunscreen: There was shade, but not a lot.
Bring cash: The ATMs were great, but I heard rumblings they weren't working the whole time. Also, parking lots were only taking cash.
Prepare to wait in line: I was a little disappointed in the number of food vendors compared to non-food vendors. I think more food vendors would have made the lines shorter.
Hydrate: All that delicious bacon and hot sunshine will really make you thirsty.
You better believe I'll be ready for next year.
Looking for more awesome fall festivals?
Epcot Food and Wine Festival: Presented by Chase, this festival features sweet and savory tastes from around the globe, more than 270 chefs, over 300 national and international wines, and 138 concerts!
Winter Park Autumn Art Festival: An art show featuring Florida artists, their work, live entertainment, vendors, and workshops for children. And it's free!
Central Florida Veg Fest 2013: A day of vegetarian vendors, family-friendly events, and nutritional fun at Orlando's Festival Park (where Festival of Bacon was held). Great for those looking to detox from all that bacon-y goodness.

A Bit About Nomenclature
by Todd Kennedy February 14, 2018
The Orchard Gnomon : Filtering The Crackle And Buzz About Fruit Growing
We frequently get inquiries about authenticity: "I've tried everyone else's variety … do you have the real thing ?"
We like to think that the very fact that The Arboreum Company grows a variety, makes it the real thing. But humility aside, there is a problem with the vocabulary that must be dealt with first.
When speaking of certain of the most famous fruit varieties, it is necessary to clarify that it is not a single, but a whole complex of varying fruit plants, all together comprising varieties in a true sense, that pass as one.
Take for instance, the great 'French Prune' of Santa Clara Valley. French prunes were introduced into California from the traditional home at Agen in France on several occasions during the nineteenth century. This small purple plum used for drying has the habit of spontaneous bud mutation, so that collection of grafting scions from any tree may result in propagation of more than one distinguishable variety, or cultivar. Add to this the frequent occurrence, in areas of traditional culture, of seedlings grown from and more or less resembling a mother type, and it can be seen why there is no single, true 'French Prune' anywhere in California. All are approximations to a Platonic ideal Petite Prune d'Agen, which itself may no longer exist in its homeland.
The French national experiment station at Grande-Ferrade, near Bordeaux, attempted an encyclopedic collection of these different prunes of Agen, and assembled some thousand of such clones. The one most often grown in France now, numbered 707 at Grande-Ferrade, had no corresponding equivalent in California. So no one should be so foolish as to speak of the 'French Prune,' either in France or in California, for such a thing does not exist.
But wait … it gets even more interesting. Consider the famous apricot of this region. Is it Blenheim? Or Royal? Or Royal Blenheim? There is a variety of French origin that has been grown under the name 'Royal' since 1815. We grow it. There is a very different variety of English origin, grown under the name 'Blenheim' since 1836, or thereabouts. We grow it too. They are as distinct and as easily distinguished as any two fruits in our orchard, yet I know no one else who can describe the essential differences between them. 'Royal Blenheim' is an absurdity, at best a nurseryman's fudge and at worst a misrepresentation of goods.
'Royal' is a wedge-shaped, slightly flattened fruit with soft and juicy but decidedly mealy flesh, not adapted to commercial canning because the outer edge of the fruit, opposite the suture, softens early and bruises during handling in bulk. It was grown largely in Los Angeles County up to the 1940s and was universally known there. As a result, just about any luscious apricot resembling it came to be called 'Royal' among Southern Californians. Fruits of 'Royal' have a very compressed base and narrow stem cavity, and only a light brushing of pink on the shoulder.
'Blenheim' (strictly speaking, 'Shipley's Blenheim') is a shorter, blocky-round fruit with a pronounced "nose" at its extremity, and flesh that does not become uniformly soft, indeed it is quite delicious while still firm, even at that stage rendering juice when crushed in the mouth. It has a rounded base, frequently cracked, and well-exposed fruits can show large and brilliant red maculations. Because it remained firm, especially when handled in cannery lug boxes, it was the variety of choice for commercial canners. And so it was the classic apricot of Santa Clara Valley.
By the beginning of the twentieth century, nurserymen in California had adopted one or another of the several named bud mutations of 'Royal' and 'Blenheim' that had been observed in commercial orchards. These were noted for earlier or later ripening or greater productivity. We still grow the original 'Luxembourg Royal' and 'Shipley's Blenheim,' but also the 'Losse Blenheim,' 'Steindorf Blenheim,' 'Early Blenheim' (Canadian White), 'Autumn Royal,' and 'Redsweet,' a red Blenheim.
In the apricot planting boom during the Great War of 1914-1918, nurseries sold out their inventories of 'Blenheim' apricots, and substituted 'Royal' to the unsuspecting public … they both ripened about the same date, and had comparable flavor. So began the confusion of the two varieties. Eventually, California nurseries quit distinguishing between the two, and many today (not us!) propagate their 'Royals' and 'Blenheims' from the same tree, without apology. Trees headed for Southern California are labeled and invoiced as 'Royal.' Those for Northern California are labeled and invoiced as 'Blenheim.' Beware anything labeled 'Royal Blenheim'!
All of our varieties are grown and fruited to test for authenticity, long before we offer them to our public. Most everything we offer, we have grown for many years, and are quite possibly more familiar with more varieties of fruits than any other business or institution in the fruit trade.

In this innovatively propelled world, the profoundly modern contraptions are enhancing lives. The entry of the mobile applications has been a major sponsor for the general population as they can get each and every data on their Smartphone or the tablet. Furthermore, genuinely this has been obviously conceivable as a result of the On-demand applications that has turned out to be exceptionally mainstream.
The examples of victories achieved by Uber, Airbnb, and numerous others have empowered youthful business visionaries to take a similar course. These applications have discovered significant spaces in the vast quantity of smartphones.
Besides, the on-requests have been an extraordinary supporting means for the thriving of the new businesses. Several of the on-request application brands are fruitful new companies. It can be identified with any industry or business vertical. Truth be told, this will keep on increasing further as the time moves ahead.
The service domain has grown up to end up plainly more aggressive. It is on account of individuals don't need to hurry to the closest clinic for getting an appointment or visit a bakery for purchasing cakes and the such. Every one of these services can be availed with the click of the fingers inside a matter of few moments.
Thus, how about we survey some of the vital areas that need the assistance and support of the on-demand applications for flourishing in the intense rivalry.
Not every person can stand to have individual vehicles for transportation and movements. Thus this has paved way for the taxi and auto rental service industry that has exceeded expectations.
This industry has been comprehensively classified into various classes, for example, on-demand taxis, taxicabs set up for lease premise, bigger vehicles for conveying products, contracting private transports etc.
On the off chance that you need, you can settle on developing on-request taxicab applications, for example, Uber or Ola that has met a warm reception from the user base. Likewise, if you are giving vehicles on rental premise, at that point, the application will help the clients to pick an ideal vehicle as indicated by their preferences.
You may likewise require the help of the on-request applications in the event that you are giving the warehousing location to the general population for the accumulation of various materials and products to be stored. The enormous enterprises and such feature their own stockrooms to store the inventories.
At present, there are several cases where most kids have both employed parents and in such a situation it ends up plainly troublesome for them to care for their little ones since they both are breadwinners. Thus, particularly in the metropolitan urban communities, many individuals have transformed their homes into toddler care buildings. The parents leave the infant early in the day on their approach to office and get them back on returning.
Bugs are featured as uninvited visitors that make a considerable amount of inconvenience by hindering precious things. In this manner, their auspicious control is basic and on the off chance that you are one of the individuals who is putting forth a similar service, at that point the on-demand applications will make your business destined for success.
As individuals are scanning for a niche place to the extent that the service business is concerned, the future will see a portion of the more areas advancing into this rapidly developing boundary.
The ascent in the on-demand business will likewise feature progress of the on-request applications. Besides, the quantities of cell phone and other devices will face an explosion and the time has come to get an on-request application that is identified with what you have to offer.
Author Bio: Related to Android Application Development and iOS Application Development, no other brand is as significant as Pyramidion Solutions which has built up a fame as one of the best Mobile Application Development companies which has catered to the needs of clients from the Indian nation as well as several international clients as well.
