On the 10th and 11th of May STUCK will show in Komtar. Adam Bamptom-Smith of Big Wooden Horse from the UK teams up with Aaron Teoh and Safia Hanifah, two local stage performers. With Big Wooden Horse's experience in producing theatre for children, and Teoh and Hanifah's standing in the local musical theatre scene, it promises to be a memorable and colourful performance. In addition, the story follows that of the award-winning book written by Oliver Jeffers, author of "How to Catch a Star", "Lost and Found" and "The Way Back Home".
"It all begins when Floyd gets his kite stuck in a tree.
He throws up his shoe to shift it, but that gets stuck, so he throws up his other shoe and that gets stuck too.
The book's story comes to George Town trailing numerous awards including the 2012 CBI Book Of the Year – Honour Award and the 2013 Orbil Pricze for Best Illustrated Book. It was also Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize (2012) and Virgina Readers' Choice Master List (2013). This acclaim clearly demonstrates that the play is suitably armed to be nothing short of a perfect evening out for those three and above. With the play's infamous audience participation adults will have a fun time, as well.


A real hairdresser is someone who functions some sort of artwork with their scissors, blow-dryer, shades and brushes and with their soul. True hairdressers are gifted persons and they choose their blow-dryer and scissors to shape the hair such as a sculptor designs raw stone and they include their soul Ulm Friseur their art such as a musician does while composing a song. Throughout the last several years the internet has really taken off and persons are now actually using it more and more. Marketing websites and simpler access has caused it to be simpler to find things. All the info you could want is correct before you at the feel of a button. Companies that do not have a website are being left out in today's earth of technology. Every hairdresser needs to have one to ensure you keep up with everyone and maybe not be left behind.
Your site is ideal for several reasons and one of these brilliant is to improve your reliability; if your pleased customers keep excellent comments then future customers could see these. Plus it enables individuals to see that you're current and with the times. Persons assume firms to really have a site and if you never then this may poorly represent you and your brand. For hardly any money, as well as for free, you can produce a website that'll entice persons and then bring them right back time and time again. All that's necessary is some imagination and the number of choices are endless. Persons will frequently try to find firms online particularly if they're a new comer to the area, companies such as for instance hairdressers will benefit from a website for this reason. If your site is interesting then persons will discover it and possible customers will tell their buddies and family. Marketing your site properly may gain your business, being an current site will entice individuals to your offers and services. Persons prefer to see what offers and bargains they could find and they'll frequently do this online to save lots of time.
Sites are a great way to show down your business as you may position any new services and campaigns on there. You can also setup a mailing record to ensure your web visitors know when it is updated and that will bring them back once again to your site time and time again. You will need to ensure you do hold your site updated as older looking people will bore persons and they might go elsewhere in the future. Having a website is also a great way for you really to promote any testimonials you could have, persons like viewing effective businesses. Showing that you've a good client foundation will inspire individuals to see for themselves how excellent you are.
Any type of site will benefit your business although a more qualified one will entice more people. It is possible to style and upgrade your site your self but when you have any doubts then you can ask an organization to complete it for you. Provided that you hold your site looking great with new offers, products and campaigns then persons could keep coming back. In the competitive earth we are now living in today any help you may get to be the very best in your business is a bonus. You have to be before all of your competitors and make certain that you present anything above everybody else. A web site is a easy but successful means of doing this.

Amie Vaccaro and Julia Reichelstein will discuss the Entrepreneurial Finance Lab's (EFL) psychometric scoring system. Its function is to measure and assess proven characteristics of predictive risk by incorporating psychometric criteria, including text and timer analysis, as a type of alternative data, to identify key behavioral traits of an applicant. Identifying behavior traits using a scientific process helps paint the picture of a person's ability to repay loans and the willingness to do so. Furthermore, the presenters will share the results of the Equity Bank Africa case study where their psychometric application was used for scoring and approval of customers remotely. A digital readiness primer describing the necessary steps financial institutions should follow to move from a state of no digital technology to a fully digital process pushing to scale will be included.
The Entrepreneurial Finance Lab (EFL) provides credit-scoring technology for banks in emerging markets to improve access to finance. EFL uses alternative data and innovative technology to power lending in the world's leading financial institutions.
EFL's application collects and analyzes non-traditional information about borrowers to better forecast their likelihood of default.
EFL first pioneered psychometric credit scoring through research at the Harvard Center for International Development. We now work with leading financial institutions across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Through our partnerships, we enable better and safer lending globally.
Amie has over ten years of experience, including 5+ in technology product marketing. She comes to EFL from Change.org where she was in charge of product positioning, go-to-market strategy, pricing, content creation and sales enablement for a global sales team serving thousands of global nonprofits. Before Change.org she worked in product marketing at Salesforce focused on the Data.com business unit. She started her career in management consulting at Bain & Company.
Julia focuses on supporting and growing EFL's digital business. She moved to Nairobi, Kenya in 2015 to develop the SMS product for a key partner in East Africa. Taking the SMS psychometric test from concept to reality, she designed, implemented, and scaled the product. She has experience in human-centered design, product field testing, business development, and product management. Prior to EFL, Julia worked with the World Bank and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

Growing consumer demand for wine has lead to optimized production and science-based, enological methods. Today, elemental analysis of wine helps wine makers manage the entire production process from ascertaining the maturity of grapes; to control of the fermentation process; to determinations of wine clarity, taste, shelf life and final product quality.
As a natural food, wine is influenced by the surrounding environmental conditions. Therefore, national and international regulations are in place to ensure that harmful levels of toxic substances –– pesticides, insecticides, and other toxic elements — are minimized during production and in the final product.
This paper demonstrates the ability of ICP-OES spectroscopy to determine trace elements in wine utilizing direct aspiration without prior sample digestion using a SPECTRO ARCOS with radial plasma observation. Excellent results were obtained for spike recovery measurements performed for a variety of different wines and indicated more than adequate sensitivity to fulfill regulatory requirements and with shorter analysis time.

BBC Proms presents
Proms 2020: The Symphonic Organ
broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall
This Prom will be broadcast for free at 19:30 BST.
Please note that it will not be possible to have an audience at the Royal Albert Hall for this concert.
In the vast space of the Royal Albert Hall, Manchester-born Jonathan Scott sits alone at the 70-foot-tall Henry Willis organ – an instrument Scott describes as 'one of the greatest concert organs in the entire world'. Here he exploits the full possibilities of the musical beast's four manuals, 147 stops and 9,999 pipes, to bring to life his own symphonic arrangements of colourful orchestral classics.
Scott's selection opens with the overture to Rossini's The Thieving Magpie, its famous snare drum exchanged for bellowing pedals. (Scott's footwork has been said to put Gene Kelly to shame.)
After the serene, reflective Intermezzo from Mascagni's opera Cavalleria rusticana comes Dukas's mischievous trainee wizard, whose attempt to make light work of filling a cauldron with pails of water backfires, resulting in a rising tide of chaos. The concert's climax is the 'Organ' Symphony by Saint-Saëns, commissioned by London's Philharmonic Society and first performed at St James's Hall, Piccadilly, a couple of miles from the Royal Albert Hall. With Scott taking on the roles of both solo organist and orchestra, it's a fitting tribute to the French composer, who was himself was among the first to play the Royal Albert Hall's mighty organ when it was completed in 1871.

Bangalore, Apr 6 (UNI) Wipro Chairman Azim Premji today reiterated that India has emerged the preferred destination for outsourcing and offshoring.
Big corporations world over have understood that the only way for them to remain competitive was by reducing costs, without losing out on quality and there were many reasons why India was attractive from their point of view, he said while addressing a three-day international conference of the World Customs Organisation on Information and Communication Technology.
The reasons, according to him, included long established legal and accounting system, an independent judiciary, a free and vibrant press and a strong tradition of entrepreneurship.
Mr Premji said that while the IT industry continued to register a robust growth, other industries were also showing promising growth.
He made a pointed reference to the automotive sector with export of cars increasing nearly five fold to 1,26,000 between 1998-99 and 2003-04.
''As India moves ahead with its economic reforms, there are opportunities in many other sectors, including energy, telecom, insurance and financial services, manufacturing transportation and urban development,'' he said.
Mr Premji said the Customs department faced a huge challenge of retaining and improving its services following a unique opportunity provided by reforms, fuelling the country's economic growth. The challenges would be more widespread in terms of logistics and would create opportunities for ports in various parts of the country to develop and grow.
Time required to clear customs was a challenge faced by the department as it was an important parameter for business in a globalised world. Referring to the Singapore example, he said several companies were having spare part inventory in that country because of the speed with which the inventory could be cleared and shipped out to any part of the world, especially Asia and Australia.
Geographically, India was better positioned than Singapore, but it was the short cycle times that ports took to clear goods that had led to Singapore becoming a trading hub in Asia, he added.


Donny McCall, the inventor of the Invis-a-Rack who appeared on Shark Tank a few weeks ago is not backing down. His product allows pickup truck owners to quickly and easily assemble a rack for the back of their trucks that can carry just about anything. Just about all the Sharks loved his product, but it was his stubbornness that threw them off. Donny insists that the Invis-a-Rack be manufactured in the United States and not outsourced to China, as he feels that would help the economy by providing jobs to Americans. However, as we all know what interests the sharks the most is making money. And one of the best ways to make money is by not spending it in the first place, or by spending as little as possible. Manufacturing items such as the Invis-a-Rack is a lot cheaper in China, and that is exactly what the Sharks wanted. Because of this debate, the Sharks were not interested, and Donny was once again on his own to make his product successful.
Today, ABC put out an interview with a couple of Sharks and Donny McCall, describing where he is up to now.
This just once again comes to show how beneficial the show can be to entrepreneurs. If he takes the offer of manufacturing it in America, and gets his product on shelves in The Home Depot, this product alone will make this man quite rich. And at the end of the day, he will have Shark Tank to thank for it.

Summary of Project Proposal

Map Your History! Building and Sharing a Historical Spatial Data Infrastructure with the Keweenaw Time Traveler Project
February 7, 2017 HGIS projects, Online HGIS tools, Teaching with HGISDan Trepal
While Historical GIS (HGIS) has become a familiar approach in the social sciences and humanities (Gregory and Geddes, 2014), recent trends in the social science use of GIS have called for HGIS implementations that can apply Big Data-based HGIS approaches to more qualitative research questions and, perhaps most importantly, more closely involve the public. Approaches range from allowing users to contribute to HGIS research using improved web interfaces, such as the New York Public Library's Building Inspector, to the expansion of qualitative HGIS research (Olson, 2011; Lafreniere and Gilliland, 2015). In the broader world of GIScience, researchers have developed hybrid qualitative/quantitative tool combinations that expand the research potential of GIS further still (Kwan and Ding, 2008; Jung and Ellwood, 2010); these have more recently become topics of interest in the HGIS community as well. As part of this trend, Michigan Technological University's Historic Environments Spatial Analytics Lab (HESAL) is preparing to launch the Keweenaw Time Traveler project – combining the latest generation of historical spatial data infrastructure with Web 2.0 technology and public outreach in ways that foster closer connections between research and the public by making history both fun and accessible.
Our Subject in a Nutshell: The Copper Country
The Keweenaw Time Traveler Project (KeTT) brings to the public a regional HGIS focusing on the Copper Country of upper Michigan, a region of the Midwest USA that contains the world's largest deposits of nearly pure elemental, or native, copper. Native Americans exploited this resource for thousands of years; a subsequent industrial copper boom in the mid 19th century led to the area becoming the world's largest supplier of copper by the 1880s, with a rapidly growing population and massive mining infrastructure quickly built in what had been a remote, if beautiful, wilderness. By the end of WW I, economic factors coupled with the growing cost of extraction led to a long, slow decline in the Copper Country's mining economy, ending with the closure of the last mines at the end of the 1960s. When mining activity ceased, the entire region became a vast industrial archaeology site, a relict landscape. Today, with the population a fraction of its historical peak, the Copper Country's economic base has largely shifted to service and tourism; local identity remains closely tied to Keweenaw's mining heritage, however, and the area attracts visitors as much for its mining history as for its natural beauty.
www.mapyourhistory.org
Building the Foundation of the KeTT: Datasets and the
CC-HSDI
The Keweenaw Time Traveler benefits from the richness of historical data found within its geographic area of focus. The largest historical copper mining companies in the region, such as the Calumet & Hecla and Quincy mining companies, were among the great industrial giants of their day; the scale of their enterprise required a vast industrial infrastructure along with company towns to house their workers, all of which had to be designed, built, and paid for. As a result, most of the towns and large mining locations in the Copper Country are extraordinarily well-documented in the form of an extensive body of Sanborn fire insurance plans (FIPs), company-produced maps with detail that even surpasses FIPs, plan drawings and blueprints. In an age of corporate paternalism and scientific management practices, mining companies also extensively documented the lives of their workers and their families; the KeTT team has begun the digitization of an unprecedented wealth of detailed records on company housing, employee records and health records that provide far more information than standard census data. These are combined with decennial census data from the Minnesota Population Center, business and phone directories, and school records to provide a uniquely detailed look at the history of an entire region down to the level of the individual over the course of a century.
The core of the project is the Copper Country Historical Spatial Data Infrastructure (CC-HSDI), a next-generation implementation of HGIS designed to better facilitate both quantitative and qualitative research, while also fostering public engagement with both local history and the concept of HGIS itself. Using ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server and a PostgreSQL geospatial database, the CC-HSDI contains a series of ESRI Map Services consisting of georeferenced maps or FIPs broken into a series of time slices roughly equating with census years (in addition to smaller collections of maps from other years). Building these map service presented an early challenge to the KeTT team, as the size of each map service (representing a single town in a single year) ran into the tens of gigabytes and required the establishment of a dedicated PostreSQL geospatial-enabled server at Michigan Tech. Subsequent expansion of the HSDI will require these services to migrate to an off-premises enterprise-scale server facility (Amazon AWS) in the near future.
The historical built environment of each time slice in the CC-HSDI is then hand-digitized from the map services, resulting in over a hundred thousand building footprint polygons (as well as roads, rail lines and a few other infrastructural components). These polygon shapfiles serve as the geographical anchor point for all of the CC-HSDI's non-map-based historical data mentioned previously and constitutes the "built environment stage" of the HSDI (after Lafreniere and Gilliland, 2015). This stage not only includes the building footprint itself, but other relevant data transcribed from the FIPs including the spatial arrangement, street address, and number of stories for each building.
Linked to the built environment stage geodatabases are non-map sources including data from the nearest census, business directories, phone directories, and company and school records. These records capture the social environment of each time slice in incredible detail, including whether a primary school student was immunized, or the medical profile of mining company employees. Coupled with the census data and business directory data that are already staples of HGIS, this "social environment stage" (after Lafreniere and Gilliland, 2015) not only represents a step forward in the ability of HGIS to contribute to qualitative research on past social environments, but provides the public with a wealth of local information that fosters a personal connection with the HGIS.
The KeTT prototype web apps, developed in ArcGIS Online Web AppBuilder, allowed the team to gain valuable experience in developing requirements for the forthcoming full public launch of the KeTT Project.
Public Outreach and Collaboration: The Keweenaw Time Traveler
While the Copper Country HSDI is an invaluable research tool in its own right, The KeTT project serves to connect the public with a new way of viewing their past environments. This is accomplished through the use of web apps. Each app represents a different way of exploring and/or contributing to the HGIS. The KeTT is currently developing four different web apps that allow the public to interact with and contribute to the HSDI. These web apps provide the user with tasks ranging from basic historical map interaction exercises to facilitating more complex storytelling:
Recording the built environment by building material (using the fire insurance plan color-codes)
Identifying and recording the broad use-type of a structure (dwelling, commercial, institutional etc.)
Transcribing descriptive map text for individual buildings
Contributing personal stories and recollections about specific places on historic maps
Initially, the team used ArcGIS Online's Web Appbuilder to build and test these apps for the KeTT. ArcGIS Online apps are an excellent resource for HGIS researchers looking to share data with the public; researchers with little or no programming background can quickly convert GIS data into customizable, publicly accessible web apps that take advantage of ArcGIS Online's robust back-end infrastructure. However, large raster datasets can become expensive to share this way, as are the implementation of geospatial analysis tools, which consume ESRI credits. After building several prototypes, the KeTT team also realized they wanted more control over the app interfaces and underlying programming logic than the Web AppBuilder provided. This meant hiring a programmer and developing custom web apps in Javascript that made use of the CC-HSDI's ESRI map and feature services. Despite this, ArcGIS Online's Web App Builder proved to be invaluable for creating app prototypes and allowing the team to develop a clearer ideas about the look and feel of the final web apps.
GRACE project
The KeTT project has emphasized public outreach and involvement as an integral part of the construction of the HGIS, not just its dissemination or end use. The team has reached out in several ways to accomplish this. Last summer's GRACE program served as an early example of what the KeTT project could achieve. The G.R.A.C.E. Project — (GIS Resources and Applications for Career Education project) is a NSF funded collaboration between Dr. Yichun Xie, PhD, Professor/Director at Eastern Michigan University's Institute of Geospatial Research and Education, Dr. Don Lafreniere at MTU's HESAL, Michigan's Virtual University, and several statewide professional GIS organizations to provide hands-on training in the use of GIS to students and teachers in economically disadvantaged communities. Last summer, the GRACE project partnered with the Keweenaw National Historic Park to bring GRACE to the Copper Country. Interns recruited from local high schools joined the HESAL at MTU in Houghton, Michigan to digitize major portions of the KeTT's built environment stage from Sanborn fire insurance plans. During the course of the internship, GRACE students not only learned resume-building GIS skills, but also explored the history of their local community at a level of detail few people have access to. At the end of the internship, interns used ArcGIS Online StoryMaps to share portions of their local history they found most interesting during their work with members of the public. The KeTT team found the GRACE project to be a great way to involve the local community in ways that provided real benefit, and to generate some publicity in the process.
The GRACE project took high school students into the lab and field, helping to build the Copper Country HSDI while also using it to explore the historical built environment of their local community and, ultimately, to share their experiences through public presentations.
While a lot has been accomplished thus far, The KeTT project is just warming up; we plan to "go live" this spring, replacing the current beta web apps on the project website with the final, custom-programmed web apps that allow the public to explore, interact with, and contribute to the Keweenaw Time Traveler. The release of the final apps will coincide with a new season of KeTT team outreach activities in partnership with Keweenaw National Historic Park and Keweenaw Heritage Sites to spread awareness of the project and provide public outreach. In addition to the ongoing GRACE project, we will be bringing custom-built touchscreen kiosks to numerous public events around the Keweenaw that allow people to use the KeTT web apps with the help of KeTT team members and partners.

Questions of Citizenship: Oregonian Reactions to Japanese Immigrants' Quest for Naturalization Rights in the United States, 1894-1952

This study examines the discrimination against Japanese immigrants in U.S. naturalization law up to 1952 and how it was covered in the Oregonian newspaper, one of the oldest and most widely read newspapers on the West Coast. The anti-Japanese movement was much larger in California, but this paper focuses on the attitudes in Oregon, which at times echoed sentiments in California but at other times conveyed support for Japanese naturalization. Naturalization laws at the turn of the century were vague, leaving the task of defining who was white, and thus eligible for naturalization, to the courts. Japanese applicants were often denied, but until the federal government clarified which immigrants could or could not become citizens, the subject remained open to debate. "Ineligibility to naturalization" was often used as a code for "Japanese" in discriminatory land use laws and similar legislation at the state level in California and in other western states. This study highlights several factors which influenced Oregonian editorials on the subject.
First, the fear of offending Japan and provoking war with that empire was a foremost concern of Oregonian editors. California's moves to use naturalization law to prevent Japanese immigrants from owning land were seen as dangerous because they damaged relations with Japan and could lead to war. The Oregonian went so far as to recommend Japanese naturalization during the First World War. However, war and foreign relations were federal issues, thus the second theme seen throughout Oregonian editorials was deference to federal authority on questions related to naturalization. While suggesting that naturalization for existing immigrants might be good policy, the Oregonian urged the federal government to settle the matter. Once the Supreme Court ruled against Asian naturalization in 1922 and 1923, the Oregonian dropped its push for such rights. Nativism was another theme that influenced opinions at this time, and before 1923 the Oregonian generally opposed extreme nativist positions, while at the same time advocating for limits to Japanese immigration and against mixed marriages.
This paper does not deal with the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II because naturalization was not the issue for the anti-exclusion movement at the time. Citizenship did not give the Nisei, second generation Japanese American citizens, any protection against their wartime removal from the West Coast.
This study returns to the issue of naturalization for Japanese immigrants after the war, as a number of Issei, first generation Japanese immigrants, still lived in the United States but were denied citizenship, even though most had been in the country for decades at that point. There was less opposition to Japanese naturalization after the war due to the noted loyalty of the Japanese during the war, the focus on human rights as an issue promoted by the new United Nations, and Cold War politics which demanded better relations with Japan and thus fairer treatment of Japanese living in the United States. The Oregonian editorials reflected the shift in public opinion throughout the country in favor of lifting the racial bar to citizenship. Japanese Americans in Oregon were active in the campaign to change U.S. naturalization law. The issue was more important to the Japanese American community than it was to the Oregonian editorial board by then, as other Cold War events took precedence on the front and op-ed pages of the newspaper.

Not a book just for him, but a new daddy-themed picture book to read with the kids.
Some years, finding the perfect book is difficult. There are a lot of dad picture books that just don't hit the mark.
This year, however, finding the perfect book was a cinch. I went shopping. This book was the first to catch my eye. I flicked through it. I smiled. I chuckled. I awwwwwed.
Just in case my intro wasn't spoilery enough for you, here's my verdict: Amazing Daddy is a WINNER!
First, the stars of the book are panda bears. Who doesn't love panda bears? We learn all about a daddy panda bear as his child lists all the lovable things about him.
Second, the language is perfect. Some books are too cutesy-poo. Some aren't cute enough. Amazing Daddy straddles the divide with ease. And it nails the language. It speaks toddler without speaking down, and includes some lovely turns of phrase, including 'he smells of safe and warm' and 'the naughty person step'.
Third, it captures many of the things that our family does, both in the writing and in the illustrations. Just like the pandas, in our family it's dad who bakes a big pile of pancakes most Sunday mornings. And it's dad the kids call at work because 'he's probably missing us'. And it's dad who is the chief carrier of tired little people.
In fact, I should probably track down Rachel Bright. It sounds like she's been spying on our family!
If you need another awwwwwdorable daddy-themed title in your children's book collection, look no further than Amazing Daddy. Highly recommended for kids aged born and up, particularly those who have no filter when talking to, or about, their daddies.
You can purchase Amazing Daddy from Booktopia here, or from Book Depository here.
Have you read Amazing Daddy? What did you think?
Oh that looks and sounds lovely!
It's adorable! It's actually putting a lot of our other father-themed titles to shame.
2 weeks!! Eeeep! I thought it was a good month. Thank you for the reality check!! Daddy themed books are so gorgeous and really can only be given for a small window of time whilst the kidlets are small, so I'm all for them.
I know, it's sneaked up on me this year! Doesn't help that it's the week before ProBlogger.
This sounds so cute! Love a good reading rhythm with just the right words.
The right words are key. Ones that kids identify with, but not dumbed down. Because kids aren't dumb.
You write so beautifully and I can imagine that your letters to your husband might be romantic too.
Ooh, what a lovely (if left-field) comment! I actually don't write letters to him. Now I feel bad!
Well, we all know my thoughts on panda bears… They're basically heroes.
BAHAHA! Perhaps Rachel Bright can make the next panda book about Hugzilla!
That book looks adorable. The colours are cheerfully bright and happy. As for Pandas, adorable too.
Yes, yes and yes. All killer, no filler.
That looks like a great book. Nathan is also the pancake king on a Sunday morning in our family – maybe Rachel is spying on our family too????
Looks fantastic! I love the idea of giving a book for Father's Day as part of the gift. The tshirts from your other post are so cute too! Don't you find that as a blogger you always have to have your 'special day' posts out super early to give everyone else a chance to try your ideas??
It really is! Just the right amount of cute.
You're welcome! Father's Day happens to be between some pretty big events for me this year, so I happen to be organised!
I haven't read this one yet (I don't think!), but it looks adorable! I love books as a gift to anyone!
No worries! So glad to help.


Make the béchamel sauce as per the recipe posted in my profile.
Make the tomato sauce: Cut the tomatoes in pieces. In a food processor, pulse the tomatoes and liquid in the can 5 times, leaving some pieces whole (not a smooth purée).
In a pan over medium heat add 5 tablespoons of olive oil, the 2 crushed garlic cloves, the rosemary and thyme sprigs, bay leaf and the onion chopped very finely. Stir until the onion is translucent, Add the tomato, stir, add a pinch of salt and reduce the heat to low. Allow to simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until you have a thick tomato sauce. Discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs, the garlic and the bay leaf.
Shred themozzarella coarsely and leave them in a kitchen cotton towe and reserve.
Trim the asparagus peel the stem and cut on a bias in bite size pieces.
Clean the mushrooms with a brush and a damp cloth and cut in slices.
In a sauté pan, add 2 tablespoon of olive oil, cook the eggplant until golden brown. Reserve.
Repeat with the Zucchini and reserve.
Repeat with the Asparagus, season with salt and freshly grated pepper and reserve.
Repeat with the Mushrooms but cook over high heat so they don't loose water, add the tablespoon of parsley, season with salt and freshly grated pepper and reserve.
Remove the casing of the sausages, crumble the meat and fry in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until meat is golden brown but it must be very crumbly. Reserve.
Cook the Fusilli very al dente. Drain and cool under cold running water to stop the the cooking immediately. Put in a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix to coat well so they don't attach to each other.
Add all the vegetables to the fusilli and toss to mix. Add the fried sausage meat, the shredded basil, 1 cup of tomato sauce and stir to mix all. If you see it needs more tomato sauce add a little at a time, you don't want the fusilli to be swimming in an olympic pool of tomato sauce, just enough for moisture. Check the seasoning. Divide in 3 equal parts.
In a large baking dish add a thin layer of béchamel sauce. Then add 1/3 of fusilli with the vegetables, sausage and tomato sauce, a layer of shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
Start again – 1/3 of fusilli with the vegetables, sausage and tomato sauce, a layer of shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
Repeat a third layer adding a thicker layer of shredded mozzarella and NO parmesan.
Spread some bèchamel over the top, spoon the double cream over the béchamel and add a generous amount of parmesan and some freshly ground pepper.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn to grill position and brown the top. Turn off the oven, slightly open the oven door and allow the baked pasta to stand for 10 minutes.
Note: When I make it for myself I skip the sausage because I love it just with the vegetables and it's so much lighter to digest.

College Admissions A Challenge Due to Pandemic
Summary: The recent episode of Fair Talks discussed the findings which indicated that over 90% feel that the students may face significant challenges for their college admissions due to the pandemic.
New Delhi, 5 March 2021: There has been a lot of disruptions in the college admission process of 2020 due to the pandemic. The recent episode of Fair Talks organised by FairGaze discussed the findings which indicated that over 90% of respondents feel that the students may face significant challenges for their college admissions due to the pandemic.
The panellist included Mr. Girish Chhimwal, Deputy Registrar of the Maharishi University of Information Technology, Ms. Bhawna Khanna, Principal of Delhi Public School, Ms. Swati Singh, Director of Craft PPL Combine and Ms. Saroja Sahadevan, Director and Principal of Sahara Advanced World School who was also the moderator of the session.
The research findings indicated that over 87% feel that the lack of clarity on the college admission process and the delay of entrance exams will lead to significant challenges in college admissions. Over 92% of the respondents feel that there is an urgent need for solutions to ensure easy process and accessibility of college admission process and over 91% would like schools to play an active role in helping senior students understand undergraduate courses and college admissions.
Interestingly, 65% of the respondents feel that the parents' demand to reduce the college fee for online classes is acceptable though over 76% agree that the college authorities have faced a major setback due to the pandemic.
Sharing his perspective, Mr. Chhimwal said that lockdown and subsequent confusion around college admission created a mess during the college admissions season and the college academic session could start only in December 2020, which otherwise should have begun in July 2020.
Answering the question on what school leaders can do to assist students in college admissions, Ms. Bhawana Khanna said the schools have implemented many steps to facilitate school students to get college admissions including open talks with colleges, aptitude tests to choose appropriate careers, alumni sessions, etc.
Ms. Swati Singh pointed out that pandemic created the much-desired breathing space for students to plan their careers, profile building, and stream selection, and even though there might have been a major impact due to delayed exams, many institutions in India and internationally which has reduced their cut-off, asks and other exemptions.
Ms. Saroja Sahadevan, summarising the session said that the pandemic has brought a lot of new opportunities and unlocked various potentials.

Windows 10 Gets Android App Support Via Your Phone
If you have struggled with emulators to run Android apps on Windows 10, then rejoice because Microsoft's Your Phone app can do that for you now. The company has announced that Your Phone app can now run Android apps on Windows 10 PCs giving a much-needed boost to cross-device multi-tasking.
Most of the time, we keep juggling between our smartphone and PC in an attempt to keep up with the latest social media updates while also doing our work. Yes, web versions of various apps exist, but it's a different story altogether.
In addition to social media apps, the new Your Phone feature will let you access other Android apps on your Windows 10 PC. For example, the Clock, File Manager, food ordering apps, and maybe even Google Play in its standard mobile-style UI.
The Android apps will open in a separate window on the PC, and you will be able to pin them to the Taskbar and the Start Menu. Also, the new feature is different from the already existing Phone Screen feature that lets you mirror your Android's entire screen on Windows 10.
Your Phone app will display a list of all the apps installed on your device so you can launch them without even touching your smartphone. For now, Your Phone will only run just one Android app at a time. The support for multiple apps will be added later this year in November.
It's Galaxy Note 20 Exclusive
However, one big twist is the Android app support for Windows 10 is currently offered with the recently released Galaxy Note 20 devices via the Link to Windows integration. As we know, Microsoft and Samsung joined hands for an exclusive long-term partnership, so most of the new Your Phone features first arrive on Samsung devices.
In other words, you will have to shell out at least a thousand bucks if you want to try the feature right away. Hopefully, more Galaxy devices will follow suit, and the feature might arrive for other Android devices as well.

Microsoft Confirmed Xbox Cloud Gaming is Coming to iOS
December 9, 2020 GamingMicrosoftJenThorpe
9To5Mac reported that Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox cloud gaming is coming to iOS in 2021. This is exciting news for people like me who enjoy playing video games on iPhone or iPad. It sounds like we will get access to games that were previously not available on iOS.
Microsoft is expanding cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate coming to iOS and PC in 2021. It will start as a beta, which is the smart thing to do because it can help developers find – and remove – "bugs" that players notice during the beta.
Expanding Xbox to new players is central to our ambition of helping games and developers find an easy path to the world's 3 billion gamers. We are doing this by embracing multiple devices and providing a consistent Xbox experience wherever you log in, whether that's on your Xbox Series XJS, PC, Xbox One, Android device or – starting in Spring of 2021 – your Windows PC and iOS device from the cloud.
Microsoft announced that in Spring of 2021, they will take the next step in their journey to reach more players around the world by making cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate available on Windows PCs through the Xbox app and browser, and iOS devices through mobile web browser. Microsoft envisions a seamless experience for all types of players.
In addition, Microsoft will bring cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to new markets, including Australia, Brazil, Japan and Mexico.
I am looking forward to being able to play video games that were previously inaccessible to me. It is nice that Microsoft is welcoming those of us who play on iOS. I'm certain I'll find some Xbox games that I want to play.
Microsoft Suggests Ways Technology Can Improve Lives
November 8, 2020 MicrosoftMicrosoftJenThorpe
Brad Smith, President of Microsoft, shared thoughts on the U.S. election. The main idea of the blog post is "building new bridges". He points out some ways that technology can be used to improve lives and heal a divided country.
Here is a summarized version of Microsoft's ideas:
Broadband has become the electricity of the 21st century, vital for everything from patients needing telehealth consultations to children who are attending school from home. Today, too many rural families find there is no broadband service available, while too many underprivileged urban families find no broadband service that is affordable. A nation that would not tolerate millions of Americans living without electricity should no longer accept millions of families without broadband.
Technology-fueled automation increasingly impacts all of our jobs. Digital tools, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to make almost all of us in every job category more successful – but only if we have easier access to the new digital skills that are increasingly indispensable to the jobs of the future. … We need to make digital skills available to everyone.
Across the political spectrum, Americans share not just a commitment to, but a reverence for, democracy. …At Microsoft, this led us this election cycle to work across the political aisle to protect Republican and Democratic candidates alike. We conclude this election year even more convinced of the importance of using technology to protect not just the democratic process, but our fundamental freedoms. More than ever, we need ongoing technology innovation and stronger partnerships across the public and private sectors to better defend democracy.
…People of all political backgrounds care deeply about the privacy of their data and the security of their internet services. … Yet we continue to live with a national electronic privacy law enacted in the dial-up era of the 1980s, and when it comes to issues such as safeguards for facial recognition, we have no national law at all. We need new laws fit for the future.
…Regardless of political party, people want our economy to prosper. … We believe that technology innovation needs to create more business opportunities for every part of the economy as well as ushering in a new era for enhanced public sector services and efficiencies.
This is the first blog post I've seen since the winner of the 2020 presidential election was announced, that offers some actionable suggestions about how to make the people's lives better. It appears to call upon lawmakers, and perhaps business leaders as well, to make these changes. The incoming administration could make use of these ideas.
Microsoft Adopts 10 Principles for the Microsoft Store
October 9, 2020 MicrosoftMicrosoftJenThorpe
Microsoft has released 10 principles for their Microsoft Store on Windows 10. It appears to be done in response to Apple's recent decisions regarding their App Store and Epic Games. Microsoft states that the 10 principles build on the ideas and work of the Coalition for App Fairness (CAF) to promote choice, ensure fairness, and promote innovation on Windows 10 and the Microsoft Store on Windows 10.
The 10 principles include:
Developers have the freedom to choose whether to distribute their apps for Windows through our app store. We will not block competing app stores on Windows.
We will not block an app from Windows based on a developer's business model or how it delivers content and services, including whether content is installed on a device or streamed from the cloud.
We will not block an app from Windows based on a developer's choice of which payment system to use for processing purchases made in its app.
We will give developers access to information about the interoperability interfaces we use on Windows, as set forth in our Interoperability Principles.
Every developer will have access to our app store as long as it meets objective standards and requirements, including those for security, privacy, quality, content and digital safety.
Our app store will charge reasonable fees that reflect the competition we face from other app stores on Windows and will not force a developer to sell within its app anything it doesn't want to sell.
Our app store will not prevent developers from communicating directly with their users through their apps for legitimate business purposes.
Our app store will hold our own apps to the same standards to which it holds competing apps.
Microsoft will not use any non-public information or data from its app store about a developer's app to compete with it.
Our app store will be transparent about its rules and policies and opportunities for promotion and marketing, apply these consistently and objectively, provide notice of changes and make available a fair process to resolve disputes.
There has been an ongoing legal battle between Epic Games and Apple which started when Epic Games created a direct payment option in which Epic Games lowered the prices for consumers who used it. Apple responded by terminating the Epic Games account on the App Store.
Microsoft's 10 principles are a clear signal to software developers that Microsoft is not going to make the kinds of decisions that Apple has been making. I think this is a good thing. However, as a Mac user, I have concerns that this will result in even fewer developers making their video games Mac-compatible.
Microsoft's Bid for TikTok was Rejected
September 13, 2020 MicrosoftMicrosoft, oracle, tiktokJenThorpe
ByteDance has selected Oracle as TikTok's technology partner for its U.S. operations, The New York Times reported. This decision comes after President Trump issued an executive order that requires ByteDance to divest from its U.S. TikTok business withing 90 days (from the issuing of the order).
Microsoft released the following statement:
ByteDance let us know today they would not be selling TikTok's US operations to Microsoft. We are confident our proposal would have been good for TikTok's users, while protecting national security interests. To do this, we would have made significant changes to ensure the service met the highest standards for security, privacy, online safety, and combating disinformation, and we made these principles clear in our August statement. We look forward to seeing how the service evolves in these important areas.
Politico reported that the exact value or structure of the deal between Oracle and TikTok was not immediately clear. Will Oracle own part or all of TikTok's assets? According to Politico, a source familiar with the matter described Oracle as a technology partner to TikTok and did not describe the transaction as a sale.
From this, it appears that ByteDance has potentially fulfilled at least part of President Trump's executive order. ByteDance could be in the process of divesting from its US business with TikTok, and might able to do it before the deadline of September 20.
Another part of the executive order requires TikTok to destroy all data that was obtained from the application in the United States. If TikTok has not been outright sold to Oracle, I cannot help but wonder which company is going to be held responsible if that data is not destroyed.
Microsoft Warns of New Cyberattacks Targeting U.S. Elections
September 10, 2020 SecurityMicrosoftJenThorpe
Microsoft warns that it has detected cyberattacks targeting people and organizations involved in the upcoming presidential election. This includes unsuccessful attacks on people associated with both the Trump and Biden campaigns.
The activity we are announcing today makes clear that foreign activity groups have stepped up their efforts targeting the 2020 election as had been anticipated, and is consistent with what the U.S. government and others have reported. We also report here on attacks against other institutions and enterprises worldwide that reflect similar adversary activity.
Microsoft has observed:
Strontium, operating from Russia, has attacked more than 200 organizations including political campaigns, advocacy groups, parties and political consultants
Zirconium, operating from China, has attacked high-profile individuals associated with the election, including people associated with the Joe Biden for President campaign and prominent leaders in the international affairs community.
Phosphorus, operating from Iran, has continued to attack the personal accounts of people associated with the Donald J. Trump for President campaign.
Microsoft believes that more federal funding is needed in the U.S. so states can better protect their election infrastructure. The company encourages Congress to move forward with additional funding to the states and provide them with what they need to protect the vote and our democracy.
Based on what Microsoft observed, it would be a good idea to stay vigilant when online. Shenanigans are happening that could affect the outcome of the upcoming election. We all need to take a step back and question election-related social media posts before spreading what might be misinformation from a foreign country.
Microsoft Officially Announces Xbox Series S
September 8, 2020 GamingMicrosoftJenThorpe
Microsoft has officially announced the Xbox Series S after someone leaked information about it, Engadget reported. The Xbox Series S will be priced at $299 (ERP) and will be released on November 10, 2020.
In a tweet, the Xbox Twitter account announced: "Let's make it official! Xbox Series S | Nex-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever. $299 (ERP). Looking forward to sharing more! Soon. Promise."
Xbox has also posted the "Xbox Series S – World Premier Reveal Trailer" on YouTube. the Xbox Twitter account announced: "Let's make it official! Xbox Series S | Nex-gen performance in the smallest Xbox ever. $299 (ERP). Looking forward to sharing more! Soon. Promise."
Xbox has also posted the "Xbox Series S – World Premier Reveal Trailer" on YouTube. The trailer is about a minute and a half long. It starts very artsy, with the Xbox S appearing to form itself before the viewer's eyes. It also provides some details about the Xbox Series S.

Engadget pointed out that (according to reports) both the Series S and Series X will be available to buy on November 10th. Series S could be offered as part of a $25-per-month Xbox All Access financing option. The Xbox Series X will reportedly cost $499 and be made available via a $35-per-month Xbox All Access financing option.
I think Microsoft made a good decision to release this information shortly after it had been leaked. Doing so reduces the chance of people making assumptions about the veracity of the leaked information. It also gives consumers time to consider whether the Series S or Series X is the best choice for them.
DoD Reaffirmed JEDI Cloud Contract to Microsoft, Amazon Complains
September 4, 2020 amazonamazon, JEDI, MicrosoftJenThorpe
The ongoing drama between Amazon and the Department of Defense about the JEDI contract continues, after a pause in August. Today, the Department of Defense announced that it has re-evaluated its decision to award the JEDI Cloud to Microsoft, and reaffirmed that decision.
The Department has completed its comprehensive re-evaluation of the JEDI Cloud proposals and determined that Microsoft's proposal continues to represent the best value to the Government. The JEDI Cloud contract is a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract that will make a full range of cloud computing services available to the DoD. While contract performance will not begin immediately due to the Preliminary Injunction Order issued by the Court of Federal Claims on February 13, 2020, DoD is eager to begin delivering this capability to our men and women in uniform.
Amazon does not appear to have accepted that outcome. The company posted a response explaining why they will continue to protest what they have described as a "politically corrupted contract award".
Amazon feels that the review by the Department of Defense "was nothing more than a 'do-over' for Microsoft to fix its non-compliant proposal." Amazon also complains that the Department of Defense cited price as a major factor in the previous decision, and Amazon feels that it offered a lower price than Microsoft did.
Personally, I doubt that Amazon's decision to continue fighting against the Department of Defense's choice to go with Microsoft is going to change anything. I find it incomprehensible that Amazon wants to sink more time and effort into something that is unlikely to go their way. But, this is the "hill they want to die on", and Amazon clearly intends to keep pushing.


I am based in Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland.
I'm passionate about building websites that can be viewed on any device or screen size.
I've been building websites since 1998, mainly as a volunteer, for sports & clubs that I was involved with, but then evolving into a proper job, as other clubs and organisations asked me to build a site for them.
My first site was aimed at helping sea kayakers in the south east of England get together and share knowledge (an early social networking site?).
In 2001 my interest in orienteering started and I soon produced sites for clubs that I belonged to.
In 2006 I discovered ExpressionEngine, a Content Management System that speeds up the process of developing complex websites. I first used it for the Scottish Orienteering Association, and haven't looked back since.
I'm now working with a new CMS, Craft, as it offers an improved experience for the people managing the content.
I tend to concentrate on producing sites that are simple in design but are powerful and flexible with lots of advanced features. The key is understanding the needs of the user as well as the website owners. The more flashy or intense the design, the more likely that it will not work on older devices or those with smaller screens. Keeping things simple also means that the page loads faster and is easier to navigate.
Back in 2011 I became very aware that the growth of mobile devices like smart phones and tablets was going to have a big impact on how websites needed to be built. Every site I've built since then has been responsive and viewable on small screens. The continuing evolution of new devices and technology means that keeping on top of the latest best practices is time consuming, but I enjoy the challenge of continual development.
You can email me at if you would like to know more.

Help On The Way
Slipknot!
The Same Thing
Jack-A-Roe
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Let It Grow
The Wheel
Same Thing-2nd in a month after hiatus from 12.31.71
Jack-A-Roe-last 9.20.91
Long Way To Go Home-3rd/92 times played
So Many Roads-4th/52 times played. Great transition in from Mircale.
Good show, minus Vince's vocals.
I remembered this show being awesome...went back and listened to a SBD of it. Wow, persepctive changed. Some things are ok, but basically there was way too much Vince cheesiness. Not just the vocals, either.
I don't know why, but this show just didn't seem to pick up 'til after Drums/Space. The first set was held back, with the tempo and volume being reduced every other tune. i.e. listen to the Help/Slip/Frank and you'll hear the Help start out slower then normal, the Slipknot get quieter around the one minute mark and then someone slams on the brakes and brings the ride from 55 to 35 for franklin's. and the ending to franklin's was completely shot to hell. There was a very noticeable space between the cadence and the final measures of the tune. They fought to correct it and ended up playing a very chill Same Thing. Then, Jack-a-roe came by and sounded like an engine with a misfire. They would be real smooth and groovy and then every few bars or so, there would be a bump in the road. Over all, it was not the greatest of Jack's, even for the '90's . Phil brings back the tightness with Tom Thumb and then Bobby Brings it home with a raucous Let it Grow.
The second Set Eyes opener had a little bit of a lag with everyone trying to figure out WTF vince is doing, until jerry cleary rips the opening chord progression through the mist of confusion. I agree with perrin that vince's voice wasn't anything to jump for, but I really enjoyed this version of Long Way to go Home. Yes, it was a bit shot in certain spots, but it was a generally solid version. The Estimated -> He's Gone was pretty standard, except for a really cool vocal effect jerry was adding to the outro of He's Gone. Gave the vocal harmonies a raw blues feeling to it. the Drums -> Space transition had a really interesting pan flute limerick that was played through some ambient bass rumbles.
The rest of the set was an improvement, but the highlight, imho, was the Miracle -> So Many Roads. Jerry's voice on roads was so heartfelt. He really put his all into it, and the U.S. Blues encore may have suffered a little because of it. They started the encore off at a slightly slower tempo then usually and jerry's playing and vocal lines were spotty. either that or the equipment was malfunctioning, which would actually make more sense. The vocal lines had words just dropped out here and there, but it wasn't done sloppily, they were just missing.
All in all i'd say this show was a miss, especially since they had just come of a fire run at the Omni which puts this show to shame.


You've invested hundreds maybe even a couple thousand dollars in your new vehicle or wall wrap, so you want to make sure that it lasts forever. The only question is how do you maintain it? Well, let's take a look at a few of the best tips and tricks.
Typically after installation, you want to wait at least one week before washing your newly wrapped vehicle. When you do decide to wash it be sure to hand wash using warm soapy water with a soft sponge and gentle brush to rinse. Using a bristled brush risks wearing the material more quickly. Also, avoid waxing and any other solvents. These could damage the finish and fade the color. The best way to make your car wrap last the longest is to keep it covered as much as possible by parking in a garage or shaded area.
Wall vinyl is going to be a similar treatment solution. First, to get rid of any dust that may have collecte d on the wall use a dry duster or a vacuum. If you choose to vacuum the wall, be sure to never run the vacuum against the wallpaper as it can damage the material. Next, take a soft sponge and gently wipe away any dirt. Starting from top to bottom will help with any dirt that may run down. Keep in mind you do not want to use any bleaches or solvents that may damage the finish.
Maintaining your vehicle and wall wraps is a fairly easy task to handle. If you have any questions or would like to get your vehicle or wall wrapped call us today.

    * The `-latest` images are automatically built from latest version of `rtabmap` and `rtabmap_ros` from source (including GTSAM and libpointmatcher dependencies that are not available with ROS binaries). The other images have the same version than the binaries released on ROS.

* The following example show how to launch a camera on host computer and run our pre-built rtabmap container. All examples from [RGB-D tutorial](http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/HandHeldMapping) and [stereo tutorial](http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/StereoHandHeldMapping) should work using rtabmap from the container instead. Launch camera on host computer (set ROS_IP as the IP used for docker):
    ```bash
    $ export ROS_IP=172.17.0.1 && roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch depth_registration:=true
    # In another terminal, launch rtabmapviz or RVIZ. We do visualization
    # on host computer to avoid GPU problems with the container (see "with gui" below to launch rtabmapviz from the container):
    $ export ROS_NAMESPACE=rtabmap && rosrun rtabmap_ros rtabmapviz _frame_id:=camera_link

Lisa Kudrow is a member of the popular defunct TV sitcom "Friends". She played the role Phoebe Buffay on the sitcom which lasted for 10 seasons. The popular actress also starred in several films such as Hacks, Mother, Dr. Dolittle 2, P.S I Love You, PaperMan, The Other Woman and Neighbors.
Unlike many celebrities, Kudrow is open and proud of the changes she made on her face. She admitted that she had a nose job which changed her life in a big way. She said that felt ugly until after she had her nose reshaped. Kudos to Lisa for being honest!

Twosync go to Wembley with EE
Posted by PTS in Brand Activation, Social Media, Videos On agosto 31, 2016
Brands are finding great value in doing digital campaigns and working with digital influencers. EE have once again brought YouTube's top football content creators together for the most epic YouTube footballing series in history, The Wembley Cup. But this year is bigger and better in every way, it's EE's biggest ever digital campaign and for the first time the game will be open to the public and 30,000 fans will be able to watch the game live at Wembley. Twosync will be part of it, next to the likes of other top Youtube channels like ChrisMD, Spencer FC, Séan Garnier or Joe Weller.
EE's campaign is aimed at millennials, a demographic that is difficult to reach through traditional marketing methods, but EE also wants to broaden its reach to people who aren't pure YouTube viewers through Fifa's "magical line up of past football legends", including the likes of Robbie Fowler, Robert Pires or Peter Schmeichel.
Throughout a series of 8 episodes we were able to follow the 2 teams, Spencer FC and Weller Wanderers, as they battled it out in a series of challenges. The final squads, including EA SPORTS FIFA legends, will meet for a star-studded LIVE final at Wembley Stadium connected by EE. Last season's Wembley Cup was a huge success, with the participation of Sidemen, and this year the goal is to go even bigger.
