These shoes look just as good as they do online. The quality of these shoes is SUPERIOR to just about all other shoes I have seen and tried on in store. I got these extremely comfortable and stylish shoes for £40, and honestly I would pay more (but thankful I didn't have to!), because the quality and look is so amazing. The customer service experience I've had has been probably the best I've had since moving to this country 2 years ago. The tracking package service puts amazon to shame; the delivery came within the two hour window they gave me, had the name of the delivery person, and even showed me the signature for the person who signed for receiving the package. The shoes was so nicely packaged in the box and there was even a thank you note. I'm currently looking on their site for the next pair and I've told many people about this company.
Awesome shoes. Super fast delivery! Perfect!!
Brilliant company to buy from. Order process easy, kept upto date via email on delivery. Next day delivery was just that next day. Well packaged. Totally in love with my Marley's , so comfortable to wear and just as I remembered them from my younger days. Can see this will be one of many more purchases.
I recently purchased a pair of these shoes... Excellent, very pleased, very good quality and a shoe that ouzes expensive....great value, and another Paul odonnell shoe that does not disappoint.
Love, love, love my Pods!
These are the 3rs pair of pods I've had as an adult and they are the most comfortable shoes ! I've had a different colour each time and I love the sunny yellow for spring/summer. They literally go with everything from trousers to cut-offs to maxi dresses! Brilliant, quick service from A-Waves with email updates keeping me notified. Would highly recommend!
shoes may be a little tight / smaller than other size 43 i wear but other than that they are fine! Nice shoes.
The shoes arrived well packaged and on time.
The shoes are a lovely colour and I'm pleased I bought them for £35 in the sale.
I have a wide foot so bought a 6.5 and they fit very well. Happy customer.
Fantastic, speedy service, even over the Christmas period. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size so still don't have my lovely shoes but entirely my own fault. Can't wait to get my feet in them!
Classic shoe to the end. Talk of a possible run in new colours on this 'original' is good news!
Shoes arrived prompt and intact.
Last had a pair of pods in '79' now received another great pair.
Deliver was in the blink of an eye.
This is my second pair of Marleys, Santa brought me the green ones last Christmas and they've been one of my favourites ever since. Great for summer - walked for miles round Florida theme parks without any discomfort; and winter with a pair of funky socks. These ones are for my new job in a school, which is what I worse when I went to school in the 80's.
Make sure you measure your feet - I'm usually a 7.5 but take a 42 in Marleys.
I love my new Marleys which arrived super promptly. They are so comfortable.
Nice shoes, shame the box was torn and badly damaged. Looked a bit second hand, lucky they wasn't a gift.
Patient wait for pink re-stock.. worth the wait!
Love my pink PODs, worth the wait to have item re-stocked for 2018.
Beautiful pale pink and really soft leather. Ordered size 6 and true fit. Well packaged and arrived on time. Happy POD lady.
Beautiful shoe. Excellent service provided.
Received my shoes, they are beautiful! So soft and comfortable to wear, I have wide feet but they fit fine and have never rubbed or pinched my feet. I now have them in 3 colours! Would recommend these to anyone!
Very comfortable and as beautiful as ever. These are definitely my favourite shoes of all time.
Love love love these shoes. We won't rest until we have all the colours .
As soon as I saw these shoes I was in love ! I have horrible arthritic feet which are hellish to keep comfy and manage the pain. These shoes are soft comfortable and have not caused any issues with my very fragile skin so I can recommend them 100% !
I ordered the green pods which arrived very swiftly. They are a lovely soft green leather. They are very comfy but I do think they are slightly narrow but I'm sure they'll give with wearing. I'm a normal size 6.
Shoes are lovely just how I remember them as a child. Fast next day delivery was a godsend as the shoes were going back to Canada with my sister in law.
Excellent service , this is my second order with awave and you couldn't ask for a better company .
Shoes arrived within two days of ordering and are just perfect .
Just as I remember them from back in early 80s . Tag a bit flimsy though. Spot on apart from that.
Bought a pair of pod's recently as had a pair when I was younger and loved them. These are so comfy and I am sure they are better than I seem to remember them being. Great quality. So happy just bought another pair.
Can someone tell me about the fit ? Im a 4 or 5 which should I go for ?
I was chuffed when they arrived but after wearing them only twice the have scuffed at the toes. Now there is white scratches on them.
Absolutely love these cool as and very comfy definitely buying the other colours.
LOVE them! Good fit, very comfy, "happy" shoes!
Having already purchased these in blue, had to have the pink too. I think if they were available in 100 different colours I'd buy them all!
Was so looking forward to getting these sandals, however, they were faulted and had to be returned. No return label enclosed. Cost of return was £4.40 and £1.20 for a plastic envelope that I could write the address on. I have to say on the plus side, return was actioned the following day, excellent service.
The shoes are perfect !! Exactly like I had years ago.
Love my pods but their a bit narrow also dyed my feet apart from that really nice shoe's.
Where to start, these were my favourite shoes at school I remember how comfortable they were to wear. I could not wait to order them again and I am over the moon with them, sooooo comfortable and stylish they have not left my feet since getting delivered and I will be ordering in another colour. Shoes are very true to size.
Fab colour, very comfortable and true to size. I like them so much I've ordered them in pink. They are just as I remember my Pods I had in the 80's .
Great shoes with a fabulous look. Exceptionally comfortable, especially if you have wide feet. My second pair.
Unfortunately the style did not suit my sons very narrow feet so had to return the product. Excellent fast delivery and equally fast refund. Wouldn't, hesitate to use the company in the future.
Lovely shoes delivered promptly unfortunately too small for my son.still a great service.
Owned two pairs of these almost 40 years ago and was delighted to find that they had been revived.
The quality and comfort are every bit as good as they were back then.
I may well invest in another pair !
It's 34 years since I had my first pair. Quality is just the same. Extremely pleased. Awave couldn't be more helpful if they tried; so easy and pleasant to deal with.
Excellent service - web site clear, arrived in good time. My son loves the shoes.
Although he said they were a bit too shiny !!! teenagers !!
Bought these for our Son-very hard to find shoes of this kind in his size. They are s good fit and well made. Service and delivery were excellent, we shall definitely use this company again and have since bought additional pair of 16s from Awave. Thank you, J.
Received my purchase, great product. Reminds me of my younger days. Thanks all!!!!
Great casual shoe from back in the day. Lovely fit, really comfortable, and look the part.
This is my third pair of shoes now, and by far the comfiest and most stylish shoes I have ever owned.
I bought a red pair in the summer which are great. I originally wanted a blue pair but couldn't get them in my size. I now have both, over the moon. Nearly bought a White pair!


My children and I are reading together Ezra after lunch and most of the times, with a bowl of ice cream out in our back yard.
Ezra's response to the sin of his people was like the one Jesus talked about on the Sermon of the Mountain, "Blessed are those who mourn…" Ezra tore his cloak and even pulled hair from his head and beard in great distress. Ezra fasted as he mourned, and when the evening came, he fell on his knees and prayed spreading out his hands to God.
The faithlessness of the people, their sin had been great, and Ezra knew it. He confessed their great sin before a Holy God. No excuses, nothing else to add, it was but the cry of a repentant heart. A mourner.
Even in the midst of the terrible consequences of our sin, we can find hope. Even there we find His grace. His grace towards his people never ceases. His mercies are new every morning. His steadfast love reaches to His own even when we have sinned. He repairs what we have torn down. He revives our broken hearts. He frees us from the slavery. He protects us.
Ezra did not see the end of the story then. Jesus came and took our guilt, our punishment on his body on the cross. All the suffering that we deserved he bore in our place.
"Behold, we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this." Certainly we cannot stand before a holy God if we have not seen our desperate need for Him and have not repented from our great sins. We do not have hope to stand before God and not be consumed, apart from Jesus who came and died and rose again, and is now sited at the right hand of God interceding for us. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Beautiful and encouraging reflections, my friend. It is hard to read these passages and keep a dry eye. God is so beyond good, and His Grace so much deeper and wider than we are capable of understanding it! Love you!


A whopping 60.8% of marketers polled said that visual content marketing was integral to their marketing strategies throughout 2017. We can gather from that statistic visual marketing and visual media, such as images and video, are crucial to a modern marketing campaign's success — so much, that by the start of 2017, video content represented 74% of all internet traffic.
Is it engaging, though? Well, yes, actually, it is. Four times as many consumers would rather see a video or demonstration of a product than read about it.
That probably explains why web design has shifted to focus on more visual, more immersive and more engaging content. We've seen the rise of parallax scrolling and animation, background videos, minimal and visually appealing themes, and much more.
When you think about why, it sure makes sense. The average consumer is now bombarded and inundated with products, services, slogans, features and so much on a daily — even hourly — basis. They face more choices than ever before, even when trying to decide on the simplest of items. Food, clothing, media and entertainment, even the supplies used to clean a home. There are so many brands and options in today's world that it can get downright nauseating.
As the representative for a brand, your job is to capture the attention of decision-makers in the home. You want to convince new customers and consumers to buy your product, or at the least to learn more about it. Everything in your design and visual theme is a means to this end. The navigation elements on a page work to direct customers to the right portal. The content is used to create a connection, enticing customers to buy in or learn more. Even the visual layout of a site is structured in a way that represents a brand's mission, personality and goals.
But if you want to know how to truly captivate your audience, how to light a spark and steal their focus, it's through visual content, namely video.
Most of this is marketing speak, so you'd be forgiven for thinking it doesn't apply to you in web and visual design. Our goal is, after all, inherently to build a website or online portal. We craft the site, and they do the marketing and build their brand, right?
The modern customer demands an experience, not just a product or name anymore. The only way to provide such a thing, is to engrain the concept at the foundation — starting with the web design and ending with the way it's used and integrated into other channels. That means you, as a web designer, play a central role in the rise, or fall, of a brand's reputation.
Even something as simple as using a poorly shot, pixelated video can eliminate the chances of a brand making a sale or closing a lead. This also highlights the true power of visual content, or video embedded on a site.
Text and the written word is invocative, yes, but there are certain things you just cannot represent. For example, the convenience of a product can be incredibly hard to show in text. You could tell someone a hundred times that your product makes their lives easier, but they hear that all the time. They need to see it in action and represented in the real world. Videos can be used to present ideas such as this, which are too difficult to portray otherwise.
Queue Mid South's background video to elaborate on their "landscaping excellence" which simply cannot be stated with text.
You've likely seen or come across the tag hundreds of times before, even in brick-and-mortar stores: "As seen on TV." This concise, effective saying tells customers that the product works exactly as advertised, more importantly as demonstrated on TV through an infomercial or ad.
It works because at some time before, a video was shown revealing or presenting the value of said product or service. Visual content can help present the inherent value to customers, more than traditional web copy. Adding a demonstrative video in the main slider, that shows the product or company's service in action, is much more effective than stating it with a bold header.
Know what your average partition is? You probably know the basics, but why would you want one, and why would you care? One Point Partitions solved this problem simply by including an animated video at the top of their landing page, that shows the true value of their product: partitions.
Visual stimulation is an exceptional way to promote or incite action among your audience. The act of storytelling, in particular, can boost engagement levels considerably. By showing, not telling, you can help your customers identify a solution or new path of opportunity.
You can drive action through emotion. Consider St. John's Ambulance #savetheboy campaign. Parent or not, we dare you to watch this video and not feel the need to do something.
Consumers aren't looking to buy "stuff," or, for lack of a better phrase, junk. What they are really after is the experience — the lifestyle, relationship or convenience that your products or services can offer them. In a way, this has everything to do with the consumer and their needs, not you.
The cars they drive, the clothes they wear, the food and snacks they eat, they are all an extension of their own personalities and personal stories. Through video and visual elements, you can present these experiences, tailoring them to your audience more than any other medium. It humanizes your brand, products and message. It also makes them infinitely more relevant on a personal level.
Seeing that twenty-something eating the food you love tells you that you're going to love it just as much — after all, you're about the same age. Watching a fellow consumer using a product in a way you would, is a great way to present value and relevance.
You can tell someone all day every day that your product can clean their home like nothing they've ever seen before. You can tell them in bold and fancy headers. You can use the most descriptive web copy and the most engaging typography ever seen. But actually showing them, through video, how your product removes an impossible stain or filth spot, that's something else. It establishes credibility and trust.
Keeping that trust will be entirely up to you and your product, meaning you'll have to meet their expectations going forward, once they actually have the item in their possession. Up until that point, however, it's all on you and your creative teams to portray that credibility.
Case study or demonstration-oriented videos are a great way to build trust and authority. See, Slack's "So yeah, we tried Slack…" promotional video.
Through video and visual content, you can captivate the attention of your audience and visitors. Despite some of the examples here being shown through traditional video, it's all relevant to web design and visual artistry as well. Follow the examples presented here to drive action, establish credibility, present value and, more importantly, to elaborate on what you want your design or story to say.

Q: Add additional associative array in 2x2 multidimensional array but perserve key Howdie do,
I have one multidimensional associative array of server types. This array contains a sub array of values.
It's easier to see:
$servers = array('Dell R410 Dual Xeon X5650 Hexacore 2.66 GHz' => array('Model' =>$R410Model, 'Description' =>$R410Desc,'Counter' => $R410HexCoreE5650Count));

I want to add additional server type associative array. This is what I've done:
$servers[] = array('Atoms D510 1.66Ghz' => array('Model' =>$AtomModel, 'Description' =>$AtomDesc,'Counter' => $AtomCount));

$servers[] = array('Celerons 2.40Ghz' => array('Model' =>$CeleronModel, 'Description' =>$CeleronDesc,'Counter' => $CELERONCount));

It does add the value, but it does it by index and not the actual server type key.
Array ( [Dell R410 Dual Xeon X5650 Hexacore 2.66 GHz] => Array ( [Model] => DELL R410 [Description] => Dual Xeon X5650 Hexacore 2.66 GHz [Counter] => 25 )

[0] => Array ( [Atoms D510 1.66Ghz] => Array ( [Model] => ATOM [Description] => D510 1.66Ghz [Counter] => 1 ) )

[1] => Array ( [Celerons 2.40Ghz] => Array ( [Model] => [Description] => [Counter] => 0 ) ) )

How do I move the sub arrays up one so that it adds them by key and not index. So that it looks like this
 Array ( [Dell R410 Dual Xeon X5650 Hexacore 2.66 GHz] => Array ( [Model] => DELL R410 [Description] => Dual Xeon X5650 Hexacore 2.66 GHz [Counter] => 25 )

 Array ( [Atoms D510 1.66Ghz] => Array ( [Model] => ATOM [Description] => D510 1.66Ghz [Counter] => 1 ) )

 Array ( [Celerons 2.40Ghz] => Array ( [Model] => [Description] => [Counter] => 0 ) ) )

A: I'll just put it in an answer for you, because it is a simple typo.
Instead of creating an array object with an integer index ($server[] = array(....), what you want to do is this:
$servers['Atoms D510 1.66Ghz'] = array('Model' =>$AtomModel, 'Description' =>$AtomDesc,'Counter' => $AtomCount);
$servers['Celerons 2.40Ghz'] = array('Model' =>$CeleronModel, 'Description' =>$CeleronDesc,'Counter' => $CELERONCount);

John Tiernan
John Tiernan and Patrick Campbell, fellow Irish immigrants, lived and worked together in Turtle Creek. Campbell had a contract to build a mile of the Pittsburgh and Greensburg Turnpike, the final leg of the first road linking Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. Tiernan, a middle-aged man who left behind a family in County Kildare (and, reportedly, another in New York and a third in Philadelphia), subcontracted from him.
On December 7, 1817, a year and a half after beginning their work together and a few days after Campbell received a large cash advance for his work, Tiernan killed him with an axe and buried his body under the floorboards of their cabin. Tiernan fled, taking Campbell's horse and other of his possessions. He was arrested in Westmoreland County on December 11, after suspicious neighbors found Campbell's body and began a search for Tiernan.
Pittsburgh Weekly Gazette, December 12, 1817
After being indicted on January 15, 1818, Tiernan was tried, convicted after fifteen minutes of deliberation, and sentenced to death on January 17, just six weeks after the killing. In the absence of eyewitnesses, the case against Tiernan was circumstantial, though the chain of events pointed clearly to his responsibility. His execution was set for March 25, 1818.
On that day, Tiernan was conveyed by cart to the gallows at Boyd's Hill, guarded by city militia and with a long public procession in tow. A crowd estimated in the thousands watched an event so momentous in the city's history that it was used for years to mark time. Almost exactly twenty-five years since Dunning's execution, Tiernan became the second and last person to be publicly hanged in Allegheny County.
Weekly Franklin Repository (Chambersburg, Pennsylvania), April 7, 1818
Already forgetting the short history of the newly formed city, the Pittsburgh Weekly Gazette wrote that "it was the first scene of the kind ever witnessed in this part of the country, since civilized men have occupied the soil" and that "eight or ten thousand persons were present." Tiernan was buried under the gallows.
In the manner of the day, an abridged version of the trial and of Tiernan's confession was published soon after the events.
The turnpike connecting Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, a much needed route over the Allegheny Mountains, opened on May 20, 1818.
Moved by the spectacle of large crowds and disorderly displays at hangings across the state but unable to achieve abolition legislatively, on April 10, 1834, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed an "act to Abolish Public Executions." This compromise, understood as a partial abolition, moved hangings from a public locale to within the confines of the jail in the county in which the sentence was imposed.
Pennsylvania was the second state to make this change.* Rhode Island had banned public executions in 1833. It would be more than a century before Missouri followed suit, ending public executions in the United States.
* Between 1682-1834, 252 public executions were recorded in Pennsylvania, including two in Allegheny County.

In July, Business Insider released a list of 50 colleges costing over $60,000 per year for tuition, fees, room and board. While some on the list are institutions that one might expect to be the most expensive, many of the most expensive schools are not well known to the general public. Considering that last year there were only nine institutions costing over $60,000 and the fact that during the 2013-2014 academic year the average cost of tuition, room and board at a private college was $40,917 while the average cost at a public university was a meager $18,391, one wonders what enables these colleges to raise their costs to these levels. Especially when considering that most families have to borrow to pay for higher education.
With an increasing number of college and university leaders expressing concern about maintaining student enrollment in an era when many families are debating whether college is still "worth it", what enables these schools to raise costs, much less to these levels? Is it that their football programs reign supreme? Do their student facilities, history and ivory-covered walls work to draw students as a candle draws moths? Or, is it that the degrees and programs they offer are more likely to result in higher income than other institutions?
Not surprisingly, Adam Smith's invisible hand seems to be at work in higher education. A comparison of the most costly colleges with the rankings of colleges' 2014-2015 salary potential from PayScale's 2014-2015 College Salary Report indicates that while they are not exactly the top 50 in terms of projected earnings, by and large they are near the top.
For example, the most expensive college with a cost of $64,527 per year, Harvey Mudd College, a school that most parents probably never heard of (and has never had NCAA sanctions), also ranks number one in the country in terms of having the highest paying graduates with its alumnus having early career (first 5 years from graduation) salaries of $75,600 and mid-career salaries of $133,800.
Of the 50 colleges costing more than $60,000 per year, 15 are also in the top 50 in terms of the highest paying graduates – among them are Haverford College, Renssealaer Polytechnic Institute, Washington University in St. Louis, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Carleton College, hardly household names. Of the 50 most expensive schools, only seven were not among the top 200 in terms of salary potential of the 1,002 colleges ranked by PayScale.
Clearly, to some extent, prospective students and their parents look at the return on investment, at least in the upper stratosphere of expensive colleges, when deciding what college is worth and where to attend. While there is a looming crisis in higher education that will require, among other things, cost reductions and increased efficiencies, these colleges' ability to demand and get large tuition points to another key part of the solution: programs and degrees must enable graduates to get jobs that justify the investment, whether large or modest. It is only when it is no longer a question of whether college is "worth it" that maintaining enrollment will not be the issue that keeps university leaders up at night.

Many of you sent positive feedback regarding my vintage photograph and asked for more. So, I went through my shoebox of old photos to see if there were any other oldies that were goodies.
I found this one from December 1994, in which I was all dolled-up to attend my support group's Christmas party.
I love that dress. I think I only wore it twice. I hope it is still in storage in the attic; if so, I think I can find an occasion to wear it again.
I also like the hair style. If I can find that length and style in a lighter color, I may be sporting a new hairdo soon.
Great picture. You look very nice.
Wow, what a stunning lady you are, then and now; in inspiration to us all.
You looked lovely then, as you do today. Very beautiful picture.
Are you still in the same support group? If so, would you mind sharing the name and website URL of the group with us?
I'll be going to our monthly GNO (Girls Night Out) dinner tomorrow evening and to our monthly meeting Saturday.
You look really nice. I luv that red nail polish.
Sheila --- I am no longer a member of a support group, but I did belong to Connecticut Outreach Society for almost 20 years.
Great picture. Please keep them coming. You have always looked good.
I do thnk that the hair do here would be nice for today in a lighter color too. Although if you still have this ine that is great too.
Love your hair, and those heels... very nice, Stana!
I like the dark hair...are you a blonde naturally?
Tip-top look. Head to toe. Great Dress, hair, makeup, hose and heels.
I thinnk that is a pretty timeless dress and one worth an current wearing.
Stana, this is a really good look. Well Done! I really like the darker hair.
Dani --- Naturally, I was a brunette, but now I am a gray.

Gujarat HC dismissed Writ Application against GPCB for inspecting Coal Gasifier Tech, says applicant concerned only with profit
By DhwaniPandya

A Prior Case existed, whereby a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed with the serious issue of pollution caused by the Ceramic Industries at Morbi, Gujarat. The production of ceramic tiles accounts for nearly 80% of the country's total output. Most of the ceramic industries in the area were issued the Consolidated Consents & Authorization (CCA) with the condition of using PNG/LNG as the fuel. With the increase in the PNG/LNG prices, the industries switched over to coal gasifier of very poor technology of gas cleaning without the prior permission from the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), which led to major water, air and land pollution problems. The Gasifier operators started illegally disposing of the wastewater and coal tar, which has contaminated the land and water environment extensively in Morbi-Wakaner Industrial area.
Suit filed in National Green Tribunal regarding pollution in Morbi
The burning issues led to the filing of various complaints regarding the pollution in the city of Morbi & other parts on the outskirts. GPCB instructed its Officials to close down all the industries using coal-based gasifier without any prior consent and to ensure that the coal gasifiers are dismantled. Further initiating various Committees in the Process. The Original Writ Petition by Mr. Saini instituted in 2015 before the National Green Tribunal (NGT) at Pune, aimed appropriate directions to the GPCB and CPCB (Central) to take action against the ceramic industries causing pollution, which was approved by the NGT.
In this case, Radhe Renewable Energy.., (Private company), engaged in the manufacturing of coal gasifier, boasting about its fine technology is asking the Court to issue a writ of mandamus (command to an inferior court or ordering a person to perform a public or statutory duty) to the GPCB to look into the technology of the Company and then make a decision whether to permit the installation of the same in the Ceramic Industries.
Arguments before the Court
As the Applicant i.e. Mr. Saini initially, in the prior case, argued on the basis of the "Precautionary Principle" (Taking preventive action in the face of uncertainty) and "Sustainable Development", while the the Learned Counsel for the GPCB submitted that while it will be difficult for him to state that the coal gasifiers are not causing pollution as found by the Committee, the improved technology may be given further trial and to the extent any particular activity is found to be compliant with the norms, such activity may be allowed to be continued. The further Arguments by the Petitioners were continued on the initial lines of these previous contentions.
Decision of the Court
The Gujarat HC didn't go into the details of the Issue while analysing the case, as the entire issue had been looked into in detail by the National Green Tribunal. The Court said that this Writ Application has been held to be not maintainable in law. That the coal gasifier, of which, the company is talking about, also has its own shortcomings, the Court observed that "when 60-70 per cent of the Ceramic Industries have switched over to natural gas by making connections from the Gujarat Gas Company, then why the writ applicants in the present case are still insisting for the coal gasifier?" That they are only interested in their own profits. They are insisting for coal gasifier because they may not be able to bear the expense of natural gas. This hardly can be a ground for issue of any writ of mandamus to the GPCB to look into the technology and take an appropriate decision whether the same would serve the purpose or not.

Wine on the Brain
Authors examine tasting through brain searchery
By Neal D. Hulkower
What comes to mind when one engages with a glass of wine? And how does technology-assisted "brain searchery" help us find the answers and make us more attentive wine tasters?
These sensory and non-sensory contributions to our wine enjoyment are explored from two different perspectives in "Neuroenology: How the Brain Creates the Taste of Wine" (Columbia University Press, 2017) by Yale neuroscience professor Gordon M. Shepherd and "I Taste Red: The Science of Tasting Wine" (University of California Press, 2016) by British wine writer, wine judge and plant biologist Dr. Jamie Goode — the latter was announced as the Domaine Faiveley Wine Book of the Year at the 2017 Louis Roederer International Wine Writers' Awards.
Shepherd and Goode take readers through the basics of how our senses work with each other; all five come into play when we interact with wine. The eyes drink first, taking in the color and setting expectations. With the first sniff of the glass, orthonasal olfaction (what we smell when breathing in) triggers receptors in the nose. With the first sip, the wine blends with saliva activating retronasal olfaction (mouth smell), which creates flavor from smell molecules traveling through the nasal passages as one imbibes. Different areas of the mouth contain sensors reacting touch, pressure, temperature and pain, creating the mouthfeel of the wine. Taste bud receptors react to various chemical molecules called tastants, that are contained in the wine-saliva mix and transmit signals to the brain. The sounds made by the wine as it moves around the mouth and is swallowed contribute to the experience. In the brain's orbitofrontal cortex, crossmodal processing combines smell and taste along with the other senses to create flavor. So our perception of the flavor of a wine results from the multimodal interaction of the inputs from all the senses with retronasal smell and taste playing dominant roles.
Both books review the five primary tastes — sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami — detected by the taste buds, with Shepherd going into a bit more depth on the anatomy. In contrast, Goode emphasizes the aromatic chemistry of the wine, coupling the names of impact compounds with the odors we detect. Though he has a penchant for presenting the full names of chemical compounds, he moderates them with more taster-friendly references, for example: "Methoxypyrazine: the most important one is 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine … is responsible for green, grassy, green pepper aromas" (p. 88).
But an understanding of what occurs in the brain when wine tasting is not complete without considering the non-sensory influences on our perception of a wine's flavor. Each taster's accumulated memories of wines, especially those consumed regularly, seem to have an impact. Both books mention the work of Donald Wilson of New York University and Richard Stevenson of Macquarie University on how smell objects are formed by synthesizing inputs from our senses with how much we like or dislike the sensations. Both authors also cite studies that rely on detailed "brain searchery," much of it performed using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), to illuminate where and how our sensory and non-sensory inputs merge. Because the author is himself an active researcher in the field, Shepherd's book gives a more thorough technical discussion of what was learned and includes numerous drawings of the human head and other images and diagrams. For example, he elaborates on how an aroma image is formed when the receptors transmit their responses to the olfactory bulb in the brain.
Goode is clearly comfortable summarizing the results of fMRI studies but keeps it a little less technical. He does relate concerns about the unnatural environment in which the experiments take place. The subject's head is immobilized, liquid is squirted in the mouth via a tube all while inside a noisy metal cylinder. "Yes, various brain areas light up…, but their context is hardly a real-world natural setting" (p. 67). Nevertheless, he concludes that "even the limited data obtained so far are highly relevant for wine tasting and are important if we want to provide a robust theoretical basis for the human interaction with wine" (p. 67).
One fMRI experiment that merited mention in both books was by California-based researchers Hilke Plassmann, John O'Doherty, Baba Shiv and Antonio Rangel. Classified as a study in neuroeconomics, it looked at the impact of price on the perception of taste. People lying in an fMRI tube were given wines whose retail prices had been revealed. When different prices were assigned to the same wine, the scans showed more pleasure was derived when the subjects thought the wine was more expensive.
When it comes to practical advice for the wine taster, Shepherd is no Goode. Not surprisingly, each author's emphasis is on what he knows best. While Shepherd is clearly more enamored of the science, he lacks Goode's tasting chops. Shepherd's idea of a new approach to wine tasting can be summed up in the phrase: "The taste is not in the wine; the taste is created by the brain of the wine taster." In the appendix, he summarizes a wine-tasting tutorial he had in 2003 with Jean-Claude Berrouet at Château Pétrus. This was his first serious encounter with fine wine and inspired his book. While the resulting text may be useful to specialists in neuroscience, the advice given to serious wine tasters seems an afterthought, offering little new or practical; for that, Goode is much more effective at delivering the goods.
Goode proposes a different model: analytic tasting. This method practiced by professional tasters must be done in a controlled environment, free from any distractions which invariably will influence perception. In contrast, tasting for pleasure is greatly enhanced by shaping the environment with music, lighting, companions and food. The wine critic should taste wine analytically but also "learn to extrapolate from the artificial setting … to the naturalistic setting in which the readers will be consuming wine…" (p. 202). "I am a firm believer in interrogating the wine …" (p.203) insists Goode. Training can help, including tasting and developing a vocabulary, he advises.
While Shepherd's book speaks with authority on the latest in neuroscience and "brain searchery," his relative inexperience in wine tasting makes it less suitable for anyone wishing to become a more observant taster. On the other hand, Goode's book provides insights from a veteran taster who's clearly absorbed enough in the science to fashion credible models for tasters at all levels of experience.

New Airborne GPS Technology for Weather Conditions Takes Flight
First-time demonstration led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography captures key meteorological data from aircraft, along with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting
Mario Aguilera

A new GPS system aboard airplanes tracks key atmospheric conditions.
GPS technology has broadly advanced science and society's ability to pinpoint precise information, from driving directions to tracking ground motions during earthquakes. A new technique led by a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego stands to improve weather models and hurricane forecasting by detecting precise conditions in the atmosphere through a new GPS system aboard airplanes.
The first demonstration of the technique, detailed in the journal Geophysical Research Letters (GRL), is pushing the project's leaders toward a goal of broadly implementing the technology in the near future on commercial aircraft.
Current measurement systems that use GPS satellite signals as a source to probe the atmosphere rely on GPS receivers that are fixed to ground and can't measure over the ocean, or they rely on GPS receivers that are also on satellites that are expensive to launch and only occasionally measure in regions near storms. The new system, led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography geophysicist Jennifer Haase and her colleagues, captures detailed meteorological readings at different elevations at targeted areas of interest, such as over the Atlantic Ocean in regions where hurricanes might develop.
"This field campaign demonstrated the potential for creating an entirely new operational atmospheric observing system for precise moisture profiling from commercial aircraft," said Haase, an associate researcher with the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Institute of Physics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) at Scripps. "Having dense, detailed information about the vertical moisture distribution close to the storms is an important advancement, so if you put this information into a weather model it will actually have an impact and improve the forecast."
"These are exciting results, especially given the complications involved in working from an airplane," says Eric DeWeaver, program director in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, which funded the research. "Satellite-based measurements are now regularly used for weather forecasting and have a big impact, but airplanes can go beyond satellites in making observations that are targeted right where you want them."
The GRL paper details a 2010 flight campaign aboard NSF aircraft and subsequent data analysis that demonstrated for the first time that atmospheric information could be captured by an airborne GPS device. The instrumentation, which the scientists labeled "GISMOS" (GNSS [Global Navigation Satellite System] Instrument System for Multistatic and Occultation Sensing), increased the number of atmospheric profiles for studying the evolution of tropical storms by more than 50 percent.
"We're looking at how moisture evolves so when we see tropical waves moving across the Atlantic, we can learn more about which one is going to turn into a hurricane," said Haase. "So being able to look at what happens in these events at the early stages will give us a lot longer lead time for hurricane warnings."
"This is another case where the effective use of GPS has the potential to improve the forecast and therefore save lives," said Richard Anthes, president emeritus of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, which currently runs the satellite based GPS measurements system called COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate).
While the current GISMOS design occupies a refrigerator's worth of space, Haase and her colleagues are working to miniaturize the technology to shoe box size. From there, the system can more feasibly fit onto commercial aircraft, with hundreds of daily flights and a potential flood of new atmospheric data to greatly improve hurricane forecasting and weather models.
The technology also could improve interpretation of long-term climate models by advancing scientists' understanding of factors such as the moisture conditions that are favorable for hurricane development.
Paytsar Muradyan, who recently received a Ph.D. from Purdue University in atmospheric sciences, started working with Haase in 2007 as a graduate student during the formative stages of GISMOS's design and development. She eventually flew with the group in the 2010 campaign and took away a wealth of experience from the demands of the project.
"It was a lot of responsibility but certainly rewarding to work with a group of world-known scientists in an interdisciplinary project," said Muradyan.
In addition to Haase and Muradyan, coauthors of the project include students Brian Murphy and Kuo-Nung Wang, and Professor James Garrison of Purdue University; F. Felipe Nievinski of Universidade Estadual Paulista, Presidente Prudente (Brazil); and Professor Kristine Larson of the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Funding for the project was provided by NSF, NASA, the Ross Fellowship, the Schlumberger Faculty for the Future Fellowship, the Capes/Fulbright Graduate Student Fellowship, and a NASA Earth System Science Research Fellowship.

Daisy Fleabane
Erigeron strigosus
Aster family (Asteraceae)
Description: This annual or biennial plant is erect and 1-3' tall. It is unbranched along the lower half, while forming lateral stems above that are ascending. The central stem is light green to purplish green and longitudinally grooved along its sides. This stem often has spreading white hairs toward its base, while above these hairs become shorter and more appressed. The lateral stems are similar to the central stem above, except they are less grooved. Alternate leaves are up to 4" long and 16 mm. (2/3") across, becoming smaller in size and more sparse as they ascend the stems. The lowest leaves are oblanceolate in shape with long petioles, while the middle to upper leaves are elliptic to linear-elliptic in shape and they are either sessile or their petioles are short (less than ¼" in length). Some of the larger leaves have sparse coarse teeth along their outer margins. The upper leaf surface is medium green and hairless (or nearly so), while the lower leaf surface is light-medium green and short-pubescent along the central vein. The petioles, when they are present, are light green and more or less pubescent; the petioles of lower leaves are sometimes narrowly winged. The central stem and lateral stems terminate in cymes of flowerheads that collectively span up to 10" across for large plants. Individual cymes are dichotomously branched and somewhat flat-headed; as they mature, these cymes become more open and loose.
Individual flowerheads span about ½" across and they have a daisy-like appearance. Each flowerhead has 40-100 ray florets that surround numerous disk florets. The petaloid rays of the former florets are usually white and linear in shape; sometimes these rays are pink- or purple-tinted. The corollas of the disk florets are yellow, narrowly tubular in shape, 5-lobed, and minute in size; they are densely bunched together. Surrounding the base of each flowerhead, there are linear phyllaries (floral bracts) in 1-2 series. These phyllaries are light green, short-pubescent, and about 3 mm. in length. The branches of cymes and the peduncles of flowerheads are similar in appearance to the lateral stems. The branches of cymes have solitary leafy bracts where they dichotomously divide. These leafy bracts are up to 1" long and linear-elliptic in shape. The peduncles of the flowerheads are up to 4" long. The blooming period occurs primarily from late spring to mid-summer, lasting about 1-2 months for a colony of plants. However, some plants may bloom later in the year. In warm sunny weather, the flowerheads may have a mild pleasant fragrance. Afterwards, the florets are replaced by small achenes that have small tufts of bristly hairs at their apices; they are distributed to some extent by the wind. The bodies of the achenes are about 1 mm. long, light brown, oblong-oblanceoloid in shape, slightly flattened, and short-hairy. The root system consists of a shallow branching taproot with secondary fibrous roots. This plant spreads by reseeding itself, occasionally forming loose colonies.
Cultivation: The preference is full sun, mesic to dry conditions, and a somewhat alkaline soil containing clay or gravel. However, this plant can adapt to soil containing fertile loam if taller and more aggressive plants are kept away from it. After the blooming period, the foliage of this plant slowly withers away while releasing its seeds.
Range & Habitat: The native Daisy Fleabane is fairly common and it has been reported from almost all counties of Illinois (see Distribution Map). Habitats include black soil prairies, gravel prairies, hill prairies, limestone glades, dry savannas, eroding clay banks, pastures and abandoned fields, areas along railroads, and roadsides. While Daisy Fleabane is a pioneer species that prefers areas with a history of disturbance, it is more likely to be found in higher quality natural areas than the closely related Annual Fleabane (Erigeron annuus).
Faunal Associations: Primarily small bees and flies visit the flowerheads for nectar or pollen, including little carpenter bees (Ceratina spp.), cuckoo bees (Nomada spp., Stelis spp.), mason bees (Heriades spp.), plasterer bees (Colletes spp.), masked bees (Hylaeus spp.), Halictid bees (Halictus spp., Lasioglossum spp.), Halictid cuckoo bees (Sphecodes spp.), Syrphid flies, bee flies (Bombyliidae), Tachinid flies, flesh flies (Sarcophagidae), and Muscid flies (Robertson, 1929). Less common floral visitors include wasps, small butterflies, and beetles. Other insects feed destructively on the foliage, flowerheads, roots, and plant juices of Daisy Fleabane and other fleabanes (Erigeron spp.). These species include stem-boring larvae of tumbling flower beetles (Mordellistena spp.), the Red-spotted Aster Mirid (Polymerus basalis) and Broken-backed Bug (Taylorilygus apicalis), a leafhopper (Empoasca alboneura), the Erigeron Root Aphid (Aphis middletonii) and Leafcurl Plum Aphid (Brachycaudus helichrysi), larvae of the Aster Leafminer Fly (Calycomyza humeralis), larvae of the Lynx Flower Moth (Schinia lynx) and other moths, the Snakedweed Grasshopper (Hesperotettix viridis) and other grasshoppers, and the Four-spotted Tree Cricket (Oecanthus quadripunctatus). For a more complete listing of these insects, see the Insect Table. Mammalian herbivores occasionally browse on the foliage and flowerheads of these plants. This includes deer, rabbits, groundhogs, sheep, and other livestock.
Photographic Location: The photographs were taken of plants at an eroding clay bank along a road near Urbana, Illinois.
Comments: Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron strigosus) resembles Annual Fleabane (Erigeron annuus), but robust specimens of these two species are fairly easy to distinguish. Daisy Fleabane has fewer and more slender leaves than Annual Fleabane, and the hairs along its middle to upper stems are short and appressed, rather than long and spreading. Another species, Marsh Fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), differs by having slightly larger flowerheads with more ray florets (100-300), and wider leaves that clasp the stems. In addition, Marsh Fleabane has only spreading hairs along its stems. While the fleabanes (Erigeron spp.) are often dismissed as 'weeds' because of their ubiquitousness during the summer, they are actually rather attractive plants that are beneficial to many small insects that have important roles in the functioning of the ecological system. As pioneer species, fleabanes are also useful in providing early cover for exposed ground, thereby reducing soil erosion.

Q: Blazor and Identity I have a project in .net core 3.0 with 3 parts : api, shared and a blazor app.
I added few models in shared project and a user model :
    [Table("user")]
    public class User : IdentityUser<Guid>
    {
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Firstname is required")]
        [StringLength(32, ErrorMessage = "Firstname must be 32 charaters maximum")]
        [Column("firstname")]
        public string Firstname { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Lastname is required")]
        [StringLength(32, ErrorMessage = "Lastname must be 32 charaters maximum")]
        [Column("lastname")]
        public string Lastname { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Thumbnail link is required")]
        [StringLength(512, ErrorMessage = "Thumbnail link must be 512 charaters maximum")]
        [Column("thumbnail_link")]
        public string ThumbnailLink { get; set; }

        [Column("birthday")]
        public DateTime Birthday { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "CreationDate is required")]
        [Column("creation_date")]
        public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }

        // [Required(ErrorMessage = "User role is required")]
        // [Column("user_role")]
        // public UserRole UserRole { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Is a banned user is required")]
        [Column("is_banned")]
        public IsBanned IsBanned { get; set; }

        public ICollection<UserRole> UserRoles { get; set; }
        public ICollection<UserProgression> UserProgressions { get; set; }
        public ICollection<Playlist> Playlists { get; set; }
        // public ICollection<Message> MessagesReceived { get; set; }
        // public ICollection<Message> MessagesSended { get; set; }
        public ICollection<Rating> Ratings { get; set; }
        public ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; }
        public ICollection<SubscriptionHistory> SubscriptionHistories { get; set; }

    }

But when I run the blazor side I got an error
Cannot find declaration of exported type 'System.Threading.Semaphore' from the assembly 'System.Threading, Version=4.0.11.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

So user inherit from IdentityUser which is part of :
PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="2.2.0"
I found out that blazor doesn't support package with entity framework.
So how can I implement Identity ? How can I share my Models between my server side and my front end ? I'm a beginner and it's very difficult to find some informations on the subject.
All kind of help is welcomed !
Thank you

A: Unfortunately you can't share an IdentityUser model with the blazor application. Blazor client-side runs on .Net standard 2.0, your identity assets run on Asp.net core. You can use .net standard code on the asp.net core side, but not the other way around.
To get around this, move your IdentityUser model to the server and create a "transfer model" in your shared project with the properties you want to transfer down to the client, then copy each property from the actual AspNetUsers table row. You want to have full control over what user's are able to see about the AspNetUsers table anyway. Hope this helps!

Why are pit tickets so expensive?
The first row of each seating section is row A, and continues backwards to row Z. The rows then continue in double letters, with row AA being the row behind row Z.
Row A will be at the bottom/first row in a section and will continue through the alphabet. Row AA is after Row Z at the top/last row in a section.
The first row, nearest the stage, is Row A, and has 24 seats. Seats 12 and 13 are stage center, and are reserved for persons with disabilities. Seats 1-11 are on the right side of the stage, with seats 8-11 at roughly center stage; seats 14-24 are on the left side of the stage, with seats 14-17 at roughly center stage.
Dress circle seating is a great option if you want to see every moment of a show from a higher level, rather than being on the same eyeline as the stage. … If you book seating towards the front of the dress circle, you could be as close to the stage as those towards the front of the stalls.
THIS IS INTERESTING: How many hours can a jetski do?
Typically, it would mean the 29th row from the stage (going through all of the letters of the alphabet once and then another three letters a second time).
100-level end sections include 101, 124, 112, 113 , with 100-level corner sections of 109, 110, 111, 114, 115, 116, 121, 122, 123, 102, 103, 104. Lower-level rows run from AA to Z. Rows AA to KK are at the front of the section, with row A anywhere from the 4th to the 12th row.
777 First Class: American Airlines uses its flagship Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on its most-premium routes. The first class cabin is arranged in two rows of 1-2-1 seating. That means that tere's a window seat on either side of the aisle with two seats in the middle. All seats have aisle access.
The best seats for Washington Wizards games are in sections 101 and 111, which are located at center court. The adjacent sections along the sidelines are also great options as well, but ideally, for any basketball game, you want to sit as close to center court as possible.
What is a Rest of the World (ROW) Day Pass? Designed for brief trips outside Europe, the ROW Day Pass enables you to benefit from flat-rate data pricing when roaming in any of the 'zones' where O2 has data coverage.

Lower Preferred (Hockey) Seating
Sections 104-107 are on the side where the Capitals will shoot twice so home fans who want to have the best chance to be close to where their team scores should look to sit on this side of the arena.
While the back may be the safest option comfort-wise, experts say that the middle row has the best seating. According to Groupon, an ideal row in the movie theater is "the center row and the four rows behind it, which is about one-half to two-thirds back."
The balcony seats will probably be the cheapest choice, but won't be great seats. You would probably need to bring binoculars or opera glasses. If the theater has just a single upper level, it's usually called the "balcony." The first couple of rows in the mezzanine are usually closer to the stage than orchestra seats.
Note: The second row can be perfectly fine if it's a reasonably empty theater, and it eases up the neck-craning issue in theaters whose front rows are unreasonably close to the screen. However, latecomers might pop in front of you if you're in the second row, but never in the first.
GA1 is refers to ' General Admission 1 ′ Mostly this is becuase the event organiser might have multiple General admission section. that is the reason your ticket is from general admission 1 ticket.
THIS IS INTERESTING: Does surfing relieve stress?
A GA ticket gets you into what some know as "the pit," the standing-room-only section where, if you want a good spot, you'll either have to get there incredibly early or physically force yourself to the front. … Kanye's stage was actually above the crowd of GA ticket-holders in the pit.
This is normally due to the various types of ticket packages that are bundled with the GA floor seat itself. A typical GA floor ticket might cost $150 + fees, but then you may see some additional seats within the same section going for $250+ or more.

Local talent advances in CBC Searchlight competition
PK Tessmann has earned the Vancouver Island spot in the national competition
Apr. 29, 2015 11:00 a.m.
PK Tessmann has earned the Vancouver Island spot in the CBC Searchlight competition for her song
Cumberland musician PK Tessmann has earned the Vancouver Island spot in the CBC Searchlight competition that is searching for new Canadian talent.
Her song, Cannot Explain, also won the Vancouver Island Music Awards "Best Roots / Folk recording" earlier this year. PK is one of 23 regional champions, chosen from over 3,000 entrants across Canada.
"There was some incredible talent in this competition," PK said. "I really didn't expect to make it past the first round and I'm ecstatic to have made it this far."
A longtime Comox Valley Musician, Tessmann has been juggling her music career, family and "day job" for many years. Even with two young children at home and an all-consuming job in Early Childhood Education with the Comox Valley School District, she still finds time to write and perform.
"My life consumes me, and consequentially my music is about my life. If you have listened to my full CD, which I released in my 20s and my newer EP, you will probably know quite a bit about me. I think a lot of people have had similar experiences and can relate."
Tessmann is a Vancouver Island indie-folk songstress with a voice as tasty as honey and songwriting skills that include hook-lines and catchy melodies that will leave you satisfied by an acoustic ballad or a full band groove. Her well-crafted tunes are something of substance – flowing lyrics, and subtle, whispering harmonies, complemented by a twinkle of a mandolin or electric guitar.
With the confident timing of a skilled percussionist, Tessmann strums a few chords on her guitar and her audience leans in. The sincerity of her performance and the clarity of her voice are a mesmerizing mix.
To help Tessmann advance to the final round of the competition, visit her Searchlight page at http://music.cbc.ca/artists/PK-Tessmann, share with your friends and visit her website at www.pktessmann.ca.
On Tuesday, May 5, the national top 10 will be revealed. Tune in to CBC Radio's Q in the morning to find out the five acts voted through, and then tune in to the afternoon shows to find out which five acts the judges save.
The Searchlight winner will be revealed May 15 on Q on CBC Radio. That announcement will come after judges and votes narrow the field to a final four.

So at one point in time we really believed that Wikipedia was a reliable site where we could go to find legit truthful information.
Then we started to hear the odd person say you can't trust the information on the site.
After that a year or two later, Wikipedia got almost an entire episode dedicated to them on the TV show "The Newsroom." The topic was about how they couldn't even get the correct University MacKenzie went to and how she tried to have it changed a couple of times to no avail.
Then in 2014, it came to the attention of Abby Martin from RT America's Breaking the Set, that her Wikipedia page had been taken down not once, but twice.
While she didn't care whether she had a page or not, the very fact that it had been removed twice sparked curiosity, so she looked into it.
Because of her investigation, it became clear that there's a lot of lies spread due to the whole "Wikipedia" culture. Even other sites or companies create fake accounts you can buy just so you can create, edit or vote on deleting pages. Also editors who know one another can gang together to get something edited or removed.
There are also other sites like this that have this bully type nature where everyone knows everyone else and they all gang up together to make decisions.
Abby also found out that even some countries use the site to bolster their image using prizes as incentives.
We stopped donating to Wikipedia and using Wikipedia as a good source of information a few years ago and now only use it to find out about TV shows, but we know that the vast majority of people OFTEN cite Wikipedia as a truthful source of information when clearly it isn't. I mean come on, Wikipedia usually shows up on the first page of Google, how can you miss it?


Coach – did you say coach?
You are here: Home / Coaching / Coach – did you say coach?
Sporting organisations all over the country are dependent on the goodwill of their members to deliver a valuable service to their communities. They need volunteers to do their fund raising, to organise their events and, crucially, they need coaches to look after their players – young and old. Soccer clubs need to be particularly active in seeking volunteers because the soccer culture in Ireland, although historically strong, especially since Italia 90, is nowhere near as strong as that of the GAA. GAA session are often coached by 4 or 5 adults, whereas soccer panels are happy enough to implement the FAI recommended "two deep" rule.
Carrigtwohill United AFC is s typical middle size soccer club from this viewpoint and it depends on a core of volunteer coaches who devote time to coaching a weekly session or two and coach their panels in the weekend games. Because this is demanding, it is important that clubs make an effort in making it interesting, stimulating and viable for coaches to come in and look after large groups of players. CUFC has partnered with laya healthcare to put together a coaching development programme from September 2014. The programme is designed to enable new members, player or parent with little or no experience/knowledge in coaching, to get involved with the academy (players aged 6 to 9 years old) or schoolboy (players aged 10 to 16) sections of our club and through training, mentoring and experience develop into a qualified and experienced club coach with 2 seasons. The basis of the coaching development programme is very much grounded in the principles promoted by the FAI and the material taught in the FAI coaching courses which all CUFC current coaches have followed. The ambition of the Club is to attract new coaches and to bring them up to a level where they can themselves take charge of a schoolboy panel. Hopefully, this new programme, well supported by laya healthcare, will deliver just that.
And it is needed, because CUFC is faced with a drastic increase in its membership, mirroring the increase in the size of the village, the increase in pupil in its schools as well as an increase interest in soccer. From just over 100 members only a few years ago, the Club has just registered over 250 members in the 2014 / 2015 season and this is rapidly taking the club towards a new dimension. CUFC now has 4 academy groups – players born from 2008 to 2005, 6 schoolboy teams – U11s to U16s, a Youth team – U17s and two adult teams playing in two different division of the Athletic Union League. This adds up to 13 distinct panels, 9 of which play in formal leagues. In total the club is involved in well over 200 fixtures per seasons and it is easy to understand the scale of organisation that this requires. Facilities need to be up to it, with the increase in the number of the training slots and the increase in the number of matches, but coaching is really at the core of it, with the availability of a group of dedicated coaches an absolute necessity if the Club's teams are to compete successfully at any level within their leagues. This is why the implementation of the new scheme is so important for the Club at this point in time.


Back to the World is the third studio album by Curtis Mayfield. "The World" was what US GIs in Vietnam called America, and acclimating back into the world could be a harrowing experience. Curtis Mayfield addresses this problem in the title track to his 1973 album, Back to the World. The album also included his minor hit "Future Shock," and his emotional appeal, "If I Were Only a Child Again."

St. Matthew Lutheran Church and School has a "Meals On Wheels Team". Team members deliver meals to individuals and families in the community every fourth (4th) week of the month. If you would like to become a member of our "Meals On Wheels Team", please contact the church secretary.
Meals on Wheels News….
First, I would like to thank all the Meals on Wheels volunteers who give their time and talents to this community outreach program.
On behalf of Catholic Charities and the St. Matthew Meals on Wheels Team, we would like to thank Mr. Tom Haste for his dedication to this ministry over the past several years. Tom has recently decided to step down from the program. His smiling face and his eagerness to serve others will surely be missed. Thank you, Tom.
That being said, the St. Matthew Team is in need of a replacement for Tom. His replacement would deliver meals to residents in the Lake Zurich area on Mondays from approximately 11:30-12:30 one day a month. St. Matthew has participated in the Lake Zurich Meals on Wheels program for over thirty years. It is rewarding and fun. We would love to have you become part of our team.
If you are interested in finding out more about this community outreach ministry, please contact Linda Wollberg at 847/638-1782.

Q: Power Supply for LED Array The circuit I have attached is basically LED arrays with some transistor and N channel Field-Effect Transistor. It requires 17v, 400mA to work. I will only glow either white led or RGB. They won't glow at same time, due to less current.
.
The N channel Field-Effect Transistor (XORB48) has

*

*IDS: 5.8A

*VGS: ±12V

*VDS: 30V

*CISS: 623

*VGS(th) = 1.05V

It has low gate charger and operation gate voltages as low as 2.5V.
Each white led is of 0.2W (2835) and RGB is of 1W (5050) each.
I will control and dim the LEDs using Arduino PWM, for that individual GPIOs are connected, mentioned in circuit.
I want to know what kind of supply is needed for this? Constant current? Constant voltage? Does it require High power factor? How about ST's Viper22a or power integration's LNK IC?
Schematic :-

A:
I want to know what kind of supply is needed for this? Constant
  current?

Well, your MOSFET has a 5R6 source resistor that will self regulate the current at about 125 mA so clearly a constant current supply isn't needed but, if as you say you designed this then why are you asking?
You might alo add a resistor in series with the GPIO line so that the BJTs that form part of the current regulation don't overstress the GPIO line if they conduct down to ground when current limiting.
You might also want to check what the gate threshold voltage is for those MOSFETs to make sure they can be activated with the limited voltage drive from your GPIO lines.

A: The circuit is quite simple and you don't need constant current. Constant voltage is enough. Just get a regulated DC supply. ST's Viper has some good reference design which can be helpful to you.
