The Bush Boys History and Adventures of a Cape Farmer and his Family By: Mayne Reid (1818-1883)
The Bush Boys History and Adventures of a Cape Farmer and his Family
By Captain Mayne Reid This is not quite your usual style of book by Mayne Reid. We are used to books about the Mexican War, and similar topics, books where there are plenty of words and expressions in Mexican Spanish. In this book there are equally plenty of words and expressions in Africaans, the variety of Dutch spoken originally by the Boers (Boors in this book), the Dutch farmers.
The book is a very good introduction to the animals, both mammals and birds, of South Africa. The snakes get a mention, too. Several very tense moments are built up, and you will be wondering right up to the very last moment how whoever is involved in the story, is going to get out of the situation. Recommended as perhaps one of the best books by this prolific author. NH
BY CAPTAIN MAYNE REID
CHAPTER ONE.
THE BOORS.
Hendrik Von Bloom was a boor .
My young English reader, do not suppose that I mean any disrespect to Mynheer Von Bloom, by calling him a "boor." In our good Cape colony a "boor" is a farmer. It is no reproach to be called a farmer. Von Bloom was one a Dutch farmer of the Cape a boor.
The boors of the Cape colony have figured very considerably in modern history. Although naturally a people inclined to peace, they have been forced into various wars, both with native Africans and Europeans; and in these wars they have acquitted themselves admirably, and given proofs that a pacific people when need be can fight just as well as those who are continually exulting in the ruffian glory of the soldier.
But the boors have been accused of cruelty in their wars especially those carried on against the native races. In an abstract point of view the accusation might appear just. But when we come to consider the provocation, received at the hands of these savage enemies, we learn to look more leniently upon the conduct of the Cape Dutch. It is true they reduced the yellow Hottentots to a state of slavery; but at that same time, we, the English, were transporting ship loads of black Guineamen across the Atlantic, while the Spaniards and Portuguese were binding the Red men of America in fetters as tight and hard.
Another point to be considered is the character of the natives with whom the Dutch boors had to deal. The keenest cruelty inflicted upon them by the colonists was mercy, compared with the treatment which these savages had to bear at the hands of their own despots.
This does not justify the Dutch for having reduced the Hottentots to a state of slavery; but, all circumstances considered, there is no one of the maritime nations who can gracefully accuse them of cruelty. In their dealings with the aborigines of the Cape, they have had to do with savages of a most wicked and degraded stamp; and the history of colonisation, under such circumstances, could not be otherwise then full of unpleasant episodes.
Young reader, I could easily defend the conduct of the boors of Cape colony, but I have not space here. I can only give you my opinion; and that is, that they are a brave, strong, healthy, moral, peace loving, industrious race lovers of truth, and friends to republican freedom in short, a noble race of men.
Is it likely, then, when I called Hendrik Von Bloom a boor, that I meant him any disrespect? Quite the contrary.
But Mynheer Hendrik had not always been a boor. He could boast of a somewhat higher condition that is, he could boast of a better education than the mere Cape farmer usually possesses, as well as some experience in wielding the sword. He was not a native of the colony, but of the mother country; and he had found his way to the Cape not as a poor adventurer seeking his fortune, but as an officer in a Dutch regiment then stationed there...

Parafia pw. Św. Apostołów Piotra i Pawła w Pucku należy do archidiecezji gdańskiej. Jest jedną z 8 parafii należących do dekanatu puckiego. Proboszczem parafii jest ks. Jerzy Kunca.

Historia parafii
Parafia w Pucku powstała prawdopodobnie w XII wieku. Wskazują na to m.in. kamienne fundamenty filarów fary pochodzące właśnie z XII wieku. W wyposażeniu ciekawa jest chrzcielnica z XIII wieku. Filary są pozostałościami po dawnym kościele romańskim, do którego przed 1309 r. dobudowano istniejącą do dziś wieżę. Obecny kościół powstał między rokiem 1330 a 1400. W latach 1556-1589 pucki kościół był w rękach luteran. Po zwróceniu świątyni społeczności katolickiej przeprowadzono solidny remont. W 1623 roku Jan Wejher, syn ówczesnego starosty puckiego Ernesta Wejhera i Anny Mortęskiej, ufundował ołtarz, w którym znalazły się obrazy Hermana Hana, uznawanego wówczas za najlepszego malarza na Pomorzu. Około roku 1800 w kościele pojawiły się istniejące do dziś ołtarze: główny z czterema przesuwanymi obrazami oraz dwa boczne: Matki Bożej i św. Antoniego. Wkomponowano w nie figury pochodzące z wcześniejszych ołtarzy. Niemal sto lat później przeprowadzono w świątyni prace budowlano-konserwatorskie. Wówczas m.in. powiększono otwory okienne, dzięki czemu można było zamontować witraże. Wymieniono również posadzkę. Obecnie świątynia przeżywa kolejną wielką renowację. Zmieniono dach kościoła, uzupełniono ubytki lica cegieł. Renowacji poddane zostały cztery ołtarze, oraz przebudowano prezbiterium. Wykonano nową posadzkę i nowe malowanie ławek.

Kościół parafialny
Kościół parafialny św. Apostołów Piotra i Pawła jest pucką farą. Świątynia stoi nad samym brzegiem zatoki Puckiej. Jest charakterystyczną budowlą, dzięki czemu Puck jest rozpoznawany już z daleka. Podczas odpustu, 29 czerwca, odbywa się tradycyjna pielgrzymka łodziowa z portów na Mierzei Helskiej. Na wodach zatoki odbywa się nabożeństwo, będące wstępem do mszy odpustowej u stóp kościoła pod przewodnictwem biskupa. Wiernym z powiatu puckiego podczas tych uroczystości często towarzyszą turyści.

One of the great things about IRI is that we can raise some funds for local charities. One of the ways we do this is by hosting a silent auction. The Auction is always a HUGE success.
Teams are encouraged to bring special FIRST or TEAM related items to donate to the auction. Every item sells and every dollar is donated!
$3750 for Riley Hospital, Bridges Outreach in Kokomo, and The Cupboard Food Pantry in Lawrence Township.
$3700 for Riley Hospital, The Community Foundation of Howard County, and The Cupboard of Lawrence Township.
Several teams and individuals donated special items for the auction. The four highest sought after items (based on bidding) were the 2014 IRI quilt (made by Katie), Simbotics Spare Roller Claw (donated by 1114) and the guaranteed entries to the 2015 IRI (one at the event, one through an on-line auction).
This year, the total raised was over $6500, and the "IRI" rounded this up to a total of $7000. This will be shared with Riley Children's Hospital through the Purdue Dance Marathon and CASA of Howard County.
In addition, teams donated over 150 backpacks for local elementary school children.
Thank you everyone for the support of the great causes.


Buying less and 'buying better' is a familiar concept to us by now, at least where apparel is concerned. We're more likely to shell out on a carefully planned purchase from the likes of Net-a-Porter or Whistles than have a payday binge in Topshop or Primark. It makes sense to splurge on something of quality if you know you're going to love it, and use it forever (or at least for the foreseeable future.) The ultimate cashmere jumper, the classic trench, the staple pair of well-cut black trousers – whatever it may be, we think of these essentials as Things Worth Paying More For. It should also be the case with what we purchase for our homes. Whether it's a lamp, a rug or a teapot, we use or look at these things every day, so shouldn't they be of the best possible quality that we can afford? And more importantly, shouldn't we be surrounding ourselves with objects we love and actually want to live with? Made to last and designed with integrity, these investment pieces are the interior equivalent of a white shirt or leather jacket. Timeless and iconic, they'll stand by you through flatmates, relationships, big moves and new beginnings. Now how many pairs of designer jeans can you say that about?

CD Review – Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly – Alone Together
on Sep 29, 2020 Sep 29, 2020
Rikard Sjöblom is a busy bloke. Besides working with Big Big Train and touring as support for The Flower Kings, he has his own project in place with the highly impressive Gungfly. He made his mark in the prog world with Beardfish, who became something of a legendary cult prog-band, if that's possible. One of the criticisms aimed at them was that they were something of a retro-prog band, just using the sounds and approach of the 1970's prog bands from what is viewed by many as prog's golden age.
Alone Together proves that you can take those prog sounds and make them as vital and exciting as they have ever been. The album sounds fresh and vibrant, sumptuous and highly melodic. Alone Together sees Gungfly recording as a trio, with brothers and previous collaborators Petter and Rasmus Diamant on drums and bass respectively. Rikard says; "it was a lot of fun playing both keyboards and guitar because I had come up with a lot of nice parts but I knew early on that I wanted to make the album with the brothers on drums and bass – luckily they were very up for it!" This power-prog-trio have focussed on the rock this time, and you can hear that loud and clear: "I didn't want to smother the production with layers upon layers of keyboards and bells and whistles but instead tried to keep it prog rock with the focus on rock. I wanted every instrument to mean something in the mix," adds Rikard
Rather than being retrospective then, you have the feeling that this is more of a paean to progressive rock. Sometimes this is quite subtle, at others quite openly so, as in the tribute to Frank Zappa on On The Shoulders Of Giants, and the others that inspired Rikard over the years. The results are often sumptuous. The opening Traveler has great interplay between the musicians, whilst the title track shows how important achieving the right instrumental tones can be. That is a facet throughout the album though. Not just the playing of the three musicians, which is superb, but the tone of the instruments. The Hammond organ sounds magnificent, and the guitar work is excellent. The rhythm section of the Diamant brothers are great foils for Rikard, besides being sublime musicians themselves and they are allowed the space in the mix to shine.
There's more to the musical influences than prog though. On From Afar things become a little singer-song writer-ish, whilst keener ears might here a touch of soul here and there. "I'm a big prog fan and I've always been proud of being a part of this scene, says Sjöblom, "but I can sometimes feel that I was sort of shoe-horned into it, since a lot of my music isn't prog, really…but on the other hand it kind of fits nicely with the eclectic prog label."
There's some lyrical depth to the album too. You might read the current state of the covid hit world into the album's title, but its meaning comes from Rikard "being sick of the sugar-coated reality of social media where we think everyone else is living fuller and happier lives than ourselves just because they happen to post a happy picture whenever they do something. The phrase 'Alone Together' came to me when I was writing lyrics for the title track, but in the song of the same name it's used in a different context. It's written from the perspective of a parent whose child is in a psychiatric ward because she's lost contact with reality" – something which you could argue that social media is also guilty of.
Inspiration also came from the art work that would become the album's cover picture. It was these themes that led him to the evocative work of US painter Kevin Sloan, whose piece 'All the martyrs and saints' can be seen on the cover of the album. "I had just written lyrics for the song 'From Afar' and was looking at Kevin's paintings when I came across this one and I couldn't believe the connection, particularly the lyric "A million eyes watching glimpses of each other's lives".
This, then, is an excellent multifaceted album of high quality progressive rock. The three musicians work together exceptionally well and each has the opportunity to shine. The writing standard is equally high with the lyrics thoughtful and thought provoking. It is good to hear a band not only on the top of their form but leaving the listener with great expectations for what might follow.

Does the world need another rose scent? Or more specifically, do *I* need another rose scent? That note is very much represented in my collection, but I don't mind. I like it in all forms: deep, dark, mysterious, or dewy, airy, light. When L'Artisan announced they were launching a new rose scent, I was excited as I adore their two previous rose scents. I wonder, how will they differentiate this third release from their other two (I do think one of the earlier releases, Drole de Roses, has been discountinued, though) Rose Priveé is a more light airy rose. It is sort of aquatic, but with a dark shadow. It opens like a rose fresh from the rain, tinged with a deep violet note. The contrast is immediate, and striking. It then continues to a more vegetal state – this rose veers more green than pink. It's slightly bitter with an oakmoss-y note, which makes this a lot more mature. The woods stay there to a woodsy rosey finish – I detect hints of patchouli which grounds it, and hay which gives it more softness. I like it a lot, and find it a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. Though I won't be rushing to buy, it will be on my radar.

I agree with the decision to go with Johnny's version on the album, though this one is quite nice. Ever heard the do-wap version of "Heaven and Hell" on the Auchtung Baby anniversary set? What about the Zeppelinesque 9 minute version of "Love is Blindness?"
Ah, but I digress.
I do have another bone to pick, however.
U2 was reportedly miffed that Zooropa won best Alternative Album, instead of best rock or pop album. Hmm. They consciously chose to exclude pop and rock tunes from the final album in favor of more artsy stuff.
I find their consternation disingenuous.
pain_18_
Zeppelinesque??? 9 minutes? It's 7 minutes on the Kindergarten and that's ENO doing the strings and synths and sounds nothing like John Paul Jones' style !!!
The Wanderer? Nice version but I prefer the Zooropa-album version....it's much more deep and profound.....With Johnny singing and making you think "I thought I heard the Master's voice" with U2 backing vocals, some of the best backing vocals I ever heard ....Plus the MUSIC which is TOPS !!!!
Edited January 19, 2016 by pain_18_
And that Doo-Waap (or whatever) on Heaven and Hell...that's trying to balance off the sour and ironic tone of the song, make it a little funny and playful, although I think it's brilliant with or without the Waap, Shuuuuwaaaps ! Some of Bono's BEST lyrics ever.....Going deep into the contradictory nature of the human being...the fight between two faces of duality ! WITH extraordinary music to accompany them !!! I consider great music, well...great music...Doesn't matter HOW it's called.....Could be called "Clapping in the parking lot while whistling"-genre for all its' worth.......I remember Larry (and the other U2ers) talking about this in one of the more recent interviews......And they're saying just that.....that it doesn't matter....what's great is great !!! I'd take ARTSY over boring, commercial stuff Millenial-oriented on any day !
Only 7 minutes? It felt like 16. I kept waiting for Edge to pull out the bow and play his guitar.
Yeah.......But he didn't.....There's much more Edge craziness on the Album-Version.....However, I wish we'd get all the takes they did on Achtung Baby.....from the Pre-Hansa-Moments to the weeks they finished the album....It would probably be 12 CDs or a lot of FLAC files......But I'd buy that BOX-SET or Download-Right.....Same goes for Zooropa and *POP* !!!
pop. so good, so misunderstood, so underappreciated


A simple list of some of my favorite quotes.
A quote is both inspiring and meaningful. It expands your soul while at the same time can become a mantra to repeat in life.
A good quote is almost as good as good memory of a past experience. Well not really, a good memory is worth much more than a good quote. A good quote is more like a good piece of cake.
A manager is an advocate for the customer.
English writer John Donne once wrote that no man is an island. "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee," were Donne's words.
— Joel Fleischman. Joel is the president and solution provider for Drexel Building Supply. (www.drexelteam.com). You can follow him on twitter: @JoelmFleischman. He has provided solutions for builders and their clients since 1996 and a whole bunch of other stuff that you probably don't care about.

Adresses and Speeches
von Robert C. Winthrop
NOTE TO PAGE 50.
THE following "PLAN FOR SCHOLARSHIPS this occasion:
was proposed and adopted on
THE ALUMNI OF HARVARD COLLEGE, assembled around the festive board of Alma Mater, in July, 1852, desirous of performing some act which shall at once redound to the good of the College, and cement more closely the bonds which unite classmates with each other, and classes with the University, and in the hope that their act may have the additional recommendation of extending the benefits of Harvard College instructions to increased numbers of meritorious youth of our country, hereby assent to and adopt the following plan for establishing a system of Scholarships in the College, viz. :
1. A Scholarship shall be established by the payment of the sum of two thousand dollars to the Treasurer of Harvard College.
2. Every Class, which has one or more living members, shall have a right to establish one or more Scholarships.
3. No appropriation shall be made of the income of any Scholarship Fund unless the capital sum invested shall be, or shall have become by accumulation, at least two thousand dollars.
4. Any Class may pay any portion of a Scholarship Fund, at any time, to the Treasurer of the College in sums of not less than one hundred dollars at
any one time.
5. The Treasurer of the College shall be requested to keep a separate account with each Scholarship, and to designate it by the year of the graduation of the Class, which shall have contributed the fund to endow said Scholarship.
6. Whenever a Class shall have made provision for a Scholarship, by the contribution of $2,000, or when the contribution shall have reached that sum by accumulation, it shall be competent for such Class, annually, to nominate any meritorious
young man, then a member of College, or about entering, as a suitable person to receive the income of the Scholarship of such Class, whether a descendant of a member of the Class or otherwise.
7. The Corporation, on consultation with the Faculty, may refuse to confirm any appointment made by a Class, without assigning reasons, and they may appropriate the income of the Scholarship of such Class for the remainder of the year to any meritorious student.
8. In selecting candidates to receive the benefits of Scholarships, neither the Class, the Corporation, nor the Faculty shall receive application, from any individual, to be placed upon the foundation of a Scholarship, except in writing.
9. The income arising from any Scholarship, not appropriated in any year, shall be invested as the capital for a new. Scholarship; and any Scholarships so created shall, when completed, be termed University Scholarships, to be under the sole control of the Corporation.
10. No Class shall be allowed to make a nomination of any person to be the recipient of the income of a Scholarship at any other time than during Commencement-week; and, in case no nomination shall be made during the said week, the Corporation, on consultation with the Faculty, may appoint some one to be the recipient for that year, if they see fit so to do.

BOSTON, July 23, 1852.
AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT TAUNTON, MASSACHUSETTS, BEFORE THE BRISTOL
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, OCTOBER 15, 1852.
I AM not insensible, Mr. President and gentlemen of the Bristol County Agricultural Society, how adventurous a thing it is for one who has bad so little personal acquaintance with agriculture as myself for one who was born and brought up in a city of paved streets, in which it is our special boast that not a blade of grass is ever permitted to grow — to undertake a formal address to a society of practical farmers.
There are those within hearing who know, however, and none better than yourself, sir, — that I am no volunteer on this occasion and in this service; that I am not here with any presumptuous proffer of information or instruction, either to practical or to theoretical farmers; but that I have come in simple deference to the repeated solicitations of friends, and because I have never learned that great art which the fairer portion of my audience understand how to prize and how to practise, when teased by the importunity of admiring suitors, — the art of saying no!
Seriously, my friends, I am here with a deep sense of my own insufficiency for these things, and with a full consciousness that there are hundreds around me to whom I might far better offer myself as a scholar, than as a teacher, upon any subject connected with the cultivation of the soil. And yet, being here, and the responsibility for my presence being thus fairly rested upon other shoulders, I do not intend to shrink from the legitimate service of the occasion. Having once put my hand to the plough, I am not disposed " to look back," but shall proceed to break up such a furrow as I can, — to turn over as large a slice as I am able, in some corner or other of the wide field of agricultural discussion. Before entering, however, upon the graver topics of the day, let me give expression to the emotions of pleasure with which I have always witnessed these Farmers' Festivals, as often as I have had an opportunity of attending them. They seem to me to come nearer to fulfilling the true idea of republican holidays, than any which our country has hitherto afforded. I know not how much they may do for the great interest which they are primarily designed to promote. It might not be easy to measure their precise effect in improving the cultivation, or enlarging the yield, of the soil, - though, even as to these ends, their influence, I am persuaded, is by no means inconsiderable. No one, indeed, can doubt, that for spreading information, for exciting and directing inquiry, for encouraging experiment, for stimulating emulation, and for exhibiting the practical and beneficial results of them all, such occasions furnish means and opportunities which could be supplied in no other way; and I venture to say, that there is not a farmer before me at this moment, who, if he should be rebuked on his return by some stay-at-home neighbor or by some over-anxious spouse, as having lost a day in attending the cattle-show, would not confidently reply, that, instead of losing one day, he had gained ten, in the new ideas and fresh incentives which he had brought back for his future efforts.
But, however this may be, the influence of such occasions in other ways is even more appreciable. Their influence in the cultivation of good feelings and good fellowship among the friends of agriculture, and of labor generally, in different parts of the State and of the nation; their efficacy in sowing the seeds and increasing the harvest of mutual acquaintance, mutual regard, mutual respect, among all, of all classes, sexes, and occupations, who attend them; their annual operation in garnering up in the hearts of each one of us a seasonable supply of good-will and friendly sentiment towards each other, against the day when personal competitions or political conflicts shall come round to bring blight and mildew to so many of the nobler feelings of the soul, and to threaten starvation and famine to the whole better part of our nature, - these are among the results of such festivals as this, which must ever commend them to the regard of every Christian philanthropist.
You are here, my friends, from all quarters of the Old Colony, and from many other parts of the Commonwealth and of the country, from all pursuits and professions and political parties, to join hands and hearts in furtherance of the great industrial interests of the people. Some of you are here as practical producers, proud to display the results of your own labor and skill in the field or the dairy; and some of you have come as amateurs, gratified to behold the successes and achievements of your neighbors or friends. And we have all come as consumers, whether of our own or of other people's produce; and we all rejoice in the assurances and evidences which such occasions afford, that it will not be the fault of the ignorance or the idleness of man, if an abundance of the best food shall ever be wanting to our selves or our children. But we have all come, too, I trust and believe, in no vain and arrogant reliance on human industry or human science for our daily bread, but with hearts grateful towards Heaven for the gracious promise that seed-time and harvest shall never fail, and for the great providential agencies to which we primarily owe whatever of agricultural success we have enjoyed or witnessed.
For, indeed, if there be any thing calculated to inspire a spirit of devout dependence and gratitude in the heart of man, it is the course of nature as contemplated in the operations of the husbandman. There are at least two things which a farmer can never do without, — the sun and the shower. No industry, no science, can supply their place. For almost every thing else there may be some sort of substitute contrived. But who can contrive a substitute for a day's sunshine, or even for an hour's rain ?
What artificial irrigation could prevent or mitigate the consequences of a midsummer's drought ? What mechanical arrangement of stoves, what chemical evolution of heat, could stay the ravages of an early frost? How impotent is the arm of man, in presence of agencies like these, blighting in a week, or even nipping in a night, the whole result of a year of toil! We may invent curious implements and marvellous machines to save our own labor; but we can invent nothing which shall dis

Gartner: Apple will double its U.S. and Western Europe Mac unit market share by 2011
Thursday, January 31, 2008 12:51 pm 37 Comments
Gartner, Inc. has highlighted 10 key predictions of events and developments that will affect IT and business in 2008 and beyond.
The predictions highlight areas where executives and IT professionals need to take action in 2008. The full impact of these trends may not appear this year, but executives need to act now so that they can exploit the trends for their competitive advantage.
"Selected from across our research areas as the most compelling and critical predictions, the trends and topics they address this year indicate a strong focus on individuals, the environment, and alternative ways of buying and selling IT services and technologies," said Daryl Plummer, managing vice president and Gartner Fellow, in the press release. "These areas of focus imply a significant groundswell of change that may in turn change the entire industry."
These predictions are selected from more than 100 predictions that Gartner presents and reviews every year. These predictions focus on general technology areas rather than on specific industries or roles. This year's predictions include:
By 2011, Apple will double its U.S. and Western Europe unit market share in Computers. Apple's gains in computer market share reflect as much on the failures of the rest of the industry as on Apple's success. Apple is challenging its competitors with software integration that provides ease of use and flexibility; continuous and more frequent innovation in hardware and software; and an ecosystem that focuses on interoperability across multiple devices (such as iPod and iMac cross-selling).
By 2012, 50 per cent of traveling workers will leave their notebooks at home in favour of other devices. Even though notebooks continue to shrink in size and weight, traveling workers lament the weight and inconvenience of carrying them on their trips. Vendors are developing solutions to address these concerns: new classes of Internet-centric pocketable devices at the sub-$400 level; and server and Web-based applications that can be accessed from anywhere. There is also a new class of applications: portable personality that encapsulates a user's preferred work environment, enabling the user to recreate that environment across multiple locations or systems.
By 2012, 80 per cent of all commercial software will include elements of open-source technology. Many open-source technologies are mature, stable and well supported. They provide significant opportunities for vendors and users to lower their total cost of ownership and increase returns on investment. Ignoring this will put companies at a serious competitive disadvantage. Embedded open source strategies will become the minimal level of investment that most large software vendors will find necessary to maintain competitive advantages during the next five years.
By 2012, at least one-third of business application software spending will be as service subscription instead of as product license. With software as service (SaaS), the user organisation pays for software services in proportion to use. This is fundamentally different from the fixed-price perpetual license of the traditional on-premises technology. Endorsed and promoted by all leading business applications vendors (Oracle, SAP, Microsoft) and many Web technology leaders (Google, Amazon), the SaaS model of deployment and distribution of software services will enjoy steady growth in mainstream use during the next five years.
By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40 per cent of their IT infrastructure as a service. Increased high-speed bandwidth makes it practical to locate infrastructure at other sites and still receive the same response times. Enterprises believe that as service oriented architecture (SOA) becomes common "cloud computing" will take off, thus untying applications from specific infrastructure. This trend to accepting commodity infrastructure could end the traditional "lock-in" with a single supplier and lower the costs of switching suppliers. It means that IT buyers should strengthen their purchasing and sourcing departments to evaluate offerings. They will have to develop and use new criteria for evaluation and selection and phase out traditional criteria.
By 2009, more than one third of IT organizations will have one or more environmental criteria in their top six buying criteria for IT-related goods. Initially, the motivation will come from the wish to contain costs. Enterprise data centres are struggling to keep pace with the increasing power requirements of their infrastructures. And there is substantial potential to improve the environmental footprint, throughout the life cycle, of all IT products and services without any significant trade-offs in price or performance. In future, IT organisations will shift their focus from the power efficiency of products to asking service providers about their measures to improve energy efficiency.
By 2010, 75 per cent of organisations will use full life cycle energy and CO2 footprint as mandatory PC hardware buying criteria. Most technology providers have little or no knowledge of the full life cycle energy and CO2 footprint of their products. Some technology providers have started the process of life cycle assessments, or at least were asking key suppliers about carbon and energy use in 2007 and will continue in 2008. Most others using such information to differentiate their products will start in 2009 and by 2010 enterprises will be able to start using the information as a basis for purchasing decisions. Most others will stat some level of more detailed life cycle assessment in 2008.
By 2011, suppliers to large global enterprises will need to prove their green credentials via an audited process to retain preferred supplier status. Those organizations with strong brands are helping to forge the first wave of green sourcing policies and initiatives. These policies go well beyond minimizing direct carbon emissions or requiring suppliers to comply with local environmental regulations. For example, Timberland has launched a "Green Index" environmental rating for its shoes and boots. Home Depot is working on evaluation and audit criteria for assessing supplier submissions for its new EcoOptions product line.
By 2010, end-user preferences will decide as much as half of all software, hardware and services acquisitions made by IT. The rise of the Internet and the ubiquity of the browser interface have made computing approachable and individuals are now making decisions about technology for personal and business use. Because of this, IT organizations are addressing user concerns through planning for a global class of computing that incorporates user decisions in risk analysis and innovation of business strategy.
Through 2011, the number of 3-D printers in homes and businesses will grow 100-fold over 2006 levels. The technology lets users send a file of a 3-D design to a printer-like device that will carve the design out of a block of resin. A manufacturer can make scale models of new product designs without the expense of model makers. Or consumers can have models of the avatars they use online. Ultimately, manufacturers can consider making some components on demand without having an inventory of replacement parts. Printers priced less than $10,000 have been announced for 2008, opening up the personal and hobbyist markets.

Thumbs up to Macs doubling their market share! Thumbs down to all this overhyped, irrational web apps humbug. As long as the internet is not acccessible in every nook and granny of this planet, that thing just isn't going to work.
But where's that 10.5.2 update? Weeza needs it!

Gartner?
I thought this was where I could get pictures of the new Garmin phone! Can't wait for that puppy!
Anybody has any idea about their last predictions? How well does Gartner usually do?
And Barak Obama will be campaigning for a second term.
Hey, anyone see "House" on TV a couple of nights ago? He was using a MacBook Pro (close up and undisguised) and made a big deal about receiving an iPhone as gift (while holding it up for a great close up). I wonder if Apple pays for the product placement. I've got to think so, but it is just possible that the writers and producers of the show are mad Apple fans.
Total Nonsense
If you believe this, you are truly without any common sense at all. But, come to think of it, Steve has always counted on his sheep to be totally unable to think for themselves.

Windows Maps to become available for Xbox
Last weekend, we got the chance to enjoy the Xbox Summer Update, which was a very welcome addition for gamers worldwide. Furthermore, Microsoft is now offering support for the UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps on the Xbox. This enables developers to push out UWP apps onto the Xbox Store in the near future. At the same time, they will be able to enjoy some of the most recent features that have been added, such as background music, Cortana and others.
Furthermore, Microsoft recently released the Groove UWP app especially for Xbox. This is great especially since it includes all the features previously available on the operating system. Now, according to the most recent news in this area, Microsoft plans to launch the Maps app for Xbox too. If you access the "Ready to install" section, you can see the Maps app there. However, this change hasn't reach everyone yet.
If you install the app, you will see a "Coming Soon" message on your screen. This means the app is still "under construction". Many of you might be familiar with this message since it was also visible at the beginning of this week as Groove Music received its final touches, but it was available for some of the users.
Windows Maps will probably look just like the PC version of Windows Maps. The best thing about it is its 3D locations, making it will be easier to have a look around. It remains to be seen how Microsoft will manage to adapt all the features available for Maps on PC on the console too. With all the recent updates for UWP, we should expect to see other apps such as Skype, Twitter or Office coming to Xbox as well.

Tax Grievances

INSIGHTS | By: Daniel R. Bernard, May Shukri
Decanting: Or when an Irrevocable Trust is not Irrevocable
One of the primary questions people have about trusts is, what is the difference between an irrevocable trust and a revocable trust (sometimes called a "living trust")? The surface level answer, not to be flippant, is one is revocable, and one is not revocable, or in another word, one is irrevocable.
To dig a little deeper on the answer though, the difference is that in a revocable trust you are not giving anything up, you can change the terms as often as you would like, you retain essential ownership of all trust assets, and you do not get any benefits we typically associate with long term care planning or estate tax planning. The primary purpose of a revocable trust is to act as a Will substitute and avoid probate.
With an irrevocable trust you give something up, such as the ownership of the trust assets, to get something, such as the value of the trust assets not counting towards your resources for purposes of qualifying for Medicaid for nursing home care or the value of the trust assets being removed from your taxable estate for estate tax planning. One trade off in getting these benefits, is you give up the ability to amend the trust, which makes the trust irrevocable.
But what if I told you1, in New York, sometimes irrevocable does not really mean irrevocable, because New York allows for a process called "decanting", which under certain circumstances can allow you to effectively amend or revise a trust that by its terms cannot be amended or revised.
What is Decanting?
Decanting is an estate planning tool whereby a trustee transfers assets from one irrevocable trust to another irrevocable trust. New York State gives express statutory authority to a trustee to move assets from one irrevocable trust to a second irrevocable trust without court intervention, as long as the trustee has certain powers over distributions of trust principal, which will be discussed below.2 By decanting a trust, trust assets are transferred from the original irrevocable trust into a second irrevocable trust, often with more desirable terms or to correct drafting errors or typographical errors in the original trust.
Reasons One Might Decant a Trust
A trustee might seek to decant a trust to accomplish one or more of the following objectives:
Change the distribution standard to obtain increased asset protection
Add or remove a power of appointment
Create a supplemental needs trust for a beneficiary who has become disabled
Extend the duration of the trust
Get a different estate tax result based on a change in the estate tax laws
If the power to amend was limited to the grantor who is now deceased
Correct drafting errors
Resolve ambiguities in the trust
Change the trust situs (the state where the trust is administered)3
Decanting Examples
Suppose you have an irrevocable trust, but the state has passed a law which raises income taxes on income within a trust. Trust decanting could be viable solution that would allow the trustee to move the trust property into a trust created in another state with lower state income taxes assessed against the trust. Here, decanting the trust protects the value of the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
Suppose a beneficiary of the original trust has become disabled or changes in circumstances has resulted in the beneficiary having special needs. To preserve eligibility for government assistance, a trust can be decanted to add a Supplemental Needs trust for that beneficiary.
Suppose the trust states that at age 40 the trust beneficiaries are to receive their share outright. The trust could be decanted to change the age when the beneficiaries get their share to age 50, or the trust could be decanted to a new trust that provides that the trust beneficiaries' shares are held in trust for their lifetime.
New York Decanting Statute
When a trustee has unlimited discretion to invade the trust principal, i.e. distribute the trust principal to the beneficiaries, in favor of one or more current beneficiaries, New York State's decanting statute allows trustees the most flexibility in decanting, including transferring the trust assets to a new trust that excludes one or more of the trusts current or future beneficiaries. Essentially, when a trustee has unlimited discretion over the trust principal the trustee can effectively remove a trust beneficiary through decanting. The rationale is that if the trustee has absolute discretion to distribute all of the trust principal to one beneficiary, moving the trust assets into another trust which favors one beneficiary over another beneficiary achieves the same result.
Trustees may also decant even if they do not have unlimited discretion. However, more restrictive rules apply in this situation. The new trust, or "appointed trust" must have the same current beneficiaries, successor, and remainder beneficiaries as the original trust. The appointed trust must also include the same authority to distribute as the original trust. If beneficiaries of the original trust, or the "invaded trust" are described by a class, the beneficiaries of the appointed trust must include present or future members of such class. If the invaded trust grants a power of appointment to a beneficiary, the appointed trust must grant that same power of appointment to the beneficiary and the class of permissible appointees of the power must be the same.
Decanting has many potential benefits for trustees whose find themselves administering a trust that for one reason or another is no longer meeting the trust creator's original intent. In that situation a trustee should consider decanting to accomplish the intended goals of the creator of the trust. The estate planning attorneys at Twomey, Latham, Shea, Kelley, Dubin & Quartararo are available at your convenience to answer your questions about decanting, review your current trust to determine if it can be decanted, and to discuss and strategize the best method of decanting.

Apologises for my bad accent there! But yes, apparently yesterday was the National day of Mexico (thanks for the tip Toast!). However we were a bit short of time & preparation yesterday as we had to have a big clean for friends of my mum & dad popping around for the first time since we moved in two years ago and I went for a big chop, my locks are now short, a bit layered and more versatile.
So the poor excuses over, for tea we had some tortilla chips served with a layer of bean salsa, a layer of tomato salsa and cheese – served with spring onion as the chilli I *thought* we had was not as edible as it once was. Served with sour cream, guacamole & refried beans.
For the main course we had fajitas – the filling was quorn mince, peppers and red onion, chopped tomatoes and a mexican seasoning. Again, served with sour cream, guacamole & refried beans.
We forgot the Corona too but made up for it with a very nicely chilled white wine.
Oooh, this looks good! We did Mole Poblano de Guajolote but I didn't enjoy it that much. I'm glad we did something different but it was a lot of effort for something not that great!

Tottenham v Chelsea Betting Odds
Published on August 13th, 2017 3:36 pm EST
Written By: Dave Manuel
Chelsea, which won last year's English Premier League title, runs the very real risk of dropping its first two games of the season when it travels to Tottenham this weekend.
Chelsea suffered a stunning loss at home in their opener against Burnley. This leaves Chelsea at the very real risk of being six points behind the league's front-runners just two games into the season.
Tottenham, which finished second in the English Premier League last season, will surely be motivated to make life miserable for Chelsea. Harry Kane looks to be in top form once again this season, and Tottenham's home fans will be sorely looking to pile the dirt on Chelsea's early season start.
Tottenham has the edge to win at home - here are the current betting odds:
Tottenham, 1.90
Draw, 3.50
Chelsea, 3.80
The over/under for this match is set at 2.5 goals:
Over 2.5 goals, 1.80
Under 2.5 goals, 2.00
Finally, the double chance odds look like this:
Tottenham or Draw, 1.25
Draw or Chelsea, 1.80
Tottenham or Chelsea, 1.28
Chelsea has already seen its odds to win the English Premier League weaken significantly following its first week loss to Burnley at home.
Teams like Manchester City and Manchester United, on the other hand, both looked great in their first week performances.
Chelsea is already facing a battle heading into its second game of the season. They absolutely do not want to drop their first two games in a row, though they are up against a stiff challenge against Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea are great when they are the front-runners, though they have shown a propensity to falter when faced with adversity.
I like Tottenham to win at home on Saturday against Chelsea. The odds for this are 1.90.


IST Publication Database - A novel type of GABAergic interneuron connecting the input and the output regions of the hippocampus.
Article Title: A novel type of GABAergic interneuron connecting the input and the output regions of the hippocampus.
Abstract: The main excitatory pathway of the hippocampal formation is controlled by a network of morphologically distinct populations of GABAergic interneurons. Here we describe a novel type of GABAergic interneuron located in the outer molecular layer (OML) of the rat dentate gyrus with a long- range forward projection from the dentate gyrus to the subiculum across the hippocampal fissure, OML interneurons were recorded in hippocampal slices by using the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration. During recording, cells were filled with biocytin for subsequent light and electron microscopic analysis. Neurons projecting to the subiculum were distributed throughout the entire OML. They had round or ovoid somata and a multipolar dendritic morphology. Two axonal domains could be distinguished: an extensive, tangential distribution within the OML and a long-range vertical and tangential projection to layer 1 and stratum pyramidale of the subiculum. Symmetric synaptic contacts were established by these interneurons on dendritic shafts in the OML and subiculum. OML interneurons were characterized physiologically by short action potential duration and marked afterhyperpolarization that followed the spike. On sustained current injection, they generated high- frequency (up to 130 Hz, 34°C) trains of action potentials with only little adaptation. In situ hybridization and single-call RT-PCR analysis for GAD67 mRNA confirmed the GABAergic nature of OML interneurons. GABAergic interneurons in the OML projecting to the subiculum connect the input and output regions of the hippocampus. Hence, they could mediate long-range feed- forward inhibition and may participate in an oscillating cross-regional interneuron network that may synchronize the activity of spatially distributed principal neurons in the dentate gyrus and the subiculum.

Liz Throp was born and raised in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where she lived until she discovered that, due to her parents heritage, she was able to obtain dual citizenship with the United Kingdom. Liz felt from a young age that she was different from others and often felt like she didn't fit in. She describes it as, "I always had friends but never felt part of any group". She experienced a lot of self- doubt and frustration, and was often overwhelmed by her sensitivities. One of her major challenges as a child was suffering from night terrors - she would sleep with the lights or TV on just to drown out the noises and energies she would hear through the night. This lasted until her late teens, when she left Canada on a journey of self-discovery. Travelling through Europe and the UK for six years, Liz learned about different religions and spiritualism, and truly began to understand her psychic abilities. She learned through time and experience how to control her gifts, and to really "tune in" to people's vibrations, and began doing psychic medium readings.
Liz returned home to Canada in 1994, settled down into motherhood and began her quest to find the right career. She worked in many positions, Farm hand, Horse Breeder, Inventory clerk, Bar tender, Private Investigator, Ops Supervisor for an Armored Car company (yep she carried a gun) Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Sales Manager to name a few. But she never felt like she was "making a difference" doing those jobs. The one thing that remained consistent was helping others through her psychic work. So in 2011 Liz chose to devote herself to being a full time psychic and has never looked back. Liz is now a recognized Psychic Medium with clients around the world.
Liz has been featured on Canadian television on "The Paranormal Show" numerous times as an expert and has also been showcased regularly on a local radio morning show Country 89FM since 2015.
Liz studied Reiki and Akashic Records with Jennifer Longmore, has been in Heidi Sawyer's Master Class for Sensitives for over 3 years, and recently became a Certified Life Coach.
The birth of Psychic Kids United is a major part of Liz's soul's plan. She knew that this was something that was missing for exceptional kids and their parents, as many have been coming to her as clients seeking assistance, and she has had much joy helping them to get a handle on their super powers.
Liz resides in St.Catharines ON with her husband Andrew, she has a daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Brandon and two amazing grandchildren, Peyton and Warren, to whom she is known as "Amma".

The venue of the Summer School, San Vincenzo, is located in the middle of the Etruscan Coast, a long narrow stretch of coastline along Tuscany's coast that goes from Livorno to Piombino. The name of this beautiful coastal area is tied to the presence of the Etruscan civilization that inhabited this area from the start of the 9th century BC (way before the Romans), as so many archeological sites demonstrate today. Riva degli Etruschi Resort is immersed in a 320,000 m2 park, with a pinewood of Mediterranean vegetation that reaches the beach, approximately one kilometre long, made of fine sand.
Riva degli Etruschi Resort is 3 km away from San Vincenzo City centre & train station.
From Florence and the North, take the A12 Genova-Rosignano motorway, and at the end of the motorway take the SS1 "Aurelia" coast road signed to Rome, and then turn off either at the "San Vincenzo nord" or the "San Vincenzo sud" exit.
If you are approaching from Siena or from the south, take the SS1 "Aurelia" coast road in the direction signed to Livorno direction, and then turn off either at the "San Vincenzo nord" or the "San Vincenzo sud" exit.
The San Vincenzo railway station is in the town centre and is well served by regional and long distance trains. The station belongs to the line Firenze-Pisa-Roma; so if you are travelling from Florence or Pisa, take a train directed to Roma, or if you are travelling up from the south, take a train directed to Pisa.
The G. Galilei international airport of Pisa (https://www.pisa-airport.com/) is at a distance of no more than 70 km from San Vincenzo. When arrived at the airport, you can take the People Mover that goes to the Pisa Centrale train station, and from there take a train to San Vincenzo (Note that you can buy a single ticket for People Mover + train). Otherwise, you can rent a car, and arrive in San Vincenzo in 1 hour.
The A. Vespucci international airport of Florence (http://www.aeroporto.firenze.it/en) is at 140 km from San Vincenzo. When arrived at the airport, you can take ta bus that goes to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station, and from there take a train to San Vincenzo (in some cases, you will need to change train in Pisa). Otherwise, you can rent a car, and arrive in San Vincenzo in less than 2 hours.
Otherwise you can take a public bus, here the bus stops are highlighted. You can find the timetable here .
