This directive specifies the safety and environmental requirements for pleasure craft and their propulsion engines. The directive is based on the principles of the "New Approach to Technical Harmonisation and Standardisation". In line with this new approach, the design and manufacture of pleasure craft and some of their components and propulsion engines are subject to essential safety and environmental requirements.
Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 June 1994 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft [See amending acts].
This Directive aims to harmonise the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in the Member States as regards the safety characteristics of recreational craft * and their environmental characteristics.
The Directive apples to three different areas:
the design and construction of recreational craft, partly completed boats, other personal watercraft * and certain components or parts mentioned by the Directive;
exhaust emissions produced by propulsion engines * installed on or in pleasure craft and by other personal watercraft;
noise emissions produced by recreational craft with stern drive engines without integral exhausts or inboard propulsion engines, by personal watercraft and by outboard engines and stern drive engines with integral exhaust.
The directive does not apply to craft such as racing craft, canoes, kayaks or gondolas, surfboards or sailing surfboards, original and individual replicas of historical craft, or experimental craft, nor to engines fitted, or intended to be fitted, to such craft.
Also excluded are craft intended to carry passengers for commercial purposes which are covered by Council Directive on technical prescriptions for inland waterway vessels.
Essential requirements and placing on the market
The craft, personal watercraft, components and propulsion engines (hereinafter referred to as "products") must meet the essential requirements with regard to health and safety and the protection of the environment and consumers. The Member States must take all necessary action to ensure that the products can only be placed on the market or put into service if they do not constitute a threat to the health and safety of persons, goods and the environment.
Member States may not prohibit, restrict or impede the marketing or use in their territory of products that fulfil the provisions of the Directive. They shall presume that the products fulfil the essential requirements of the Directive if they comply with the relevant national standards adopted in accordance with the harmonised Community standards.
Before the products are produced and marketed, they must, depending on their characteristics, undergo one of the conformity assessment procedures specified in the Directive.
Notified bodies and "CE" marking
Member States must notify the Commission and other Member States of the bodies that they have appointed to carry out the tasks pertaining to the conformity assessment procedures.
The CE marking is to be affixed either by the manufacturer or by his authorised representative established in the European Union. It signifies that the products comply with the Directive's essential requirements and with the assessment procedures it lays down.
Where the products concerned are covered by other Directives relating to other aspects and requiring the CE marking to be affixed, the marking signifies that these products also satisfy the provisions of those other Directives.
Key terms used in the act
Recreational craft: any boat of any type intended for sports and leisure purposes of hull length from 2.5m to 24m, measured according to the harmonised standard, regardless of the means of propulsion.
Personal watercraft: a vessel less than 4 m in length which uses an internal combustion engine having a water jet pump as its primary source of propulsion and designed to be operated by a person or persons sitting, standing or kneeling on, rather than within the confines of, a hull.
Propulsion engine: any spark or compression ignition, internal combustion engine used for propulsion purposes, including two-stroke and four-stroke inboard, stern-drive with or without integral exhaust and outboard engines.

#IrishFictionFortnight - Day 4 - "Going Back" & "Each and Every One" by Rachael English. Signed copies to Giveaway.
Thanks to author, Rachael English, there are signed copies of her two novels to giveaway for #IrishFictionFortnight.
One of my favourite women's fiction reads of 2014, Going Back has some great 80s memories and glimpses at a NY life before internet, mobile phones and skype existed. You can read my review here. To be in with a chance of winning a signed copy of Going Back, just enter via rafflecopter link below. Good Luck!
From Ireland to the USA, a heart-warming story of family, friendships and love, of difficult decisions and lifelong consequences from a well-loved Irish radio personality.
How do you know where you belong?
In June 1988, Elizabeth Kelly's parents think she belongs at home in Ireland. Her boyfriend is certain of it. Unwilling to settle down just yet, she decides to spend the summer in Boston with her college friends. But the next four months change all of them, especially Elizabeth. Quiet and dutiful at home, she surprises herself and everyone else by falling for Danny Esposito, a restless charmer with a troublesome family.
More than 20 years later with opportunities in Ireland scarce once again, a new generation looks to America, awakening memories of a golden summer for their parents. When a crisis occurs, Elizabeth returns to Boston where she is drawn back into the life she once lived. But will she be able to reconcile the dreams of her 20-year-old self with the woman she has become?
Rachael's second novel addressed the aftermath of the Celtic Tiger and how it affected one Dublin family. You can read my review here.
To be in with a chance of winning a signed copy of Each and Every One, just enter via rafflecopter link below. Good Luck!
Gus and Joan worked hard to give their children everything - a comfortable home in a leafy Dublin neighbourhood, gap years that never seem to end and an open chequebook for life's little emergencies. Unfortunately, although the children have grown up, they are a little too comfortable with the well-feathered nest: now it's time to learn a few home truths.
When a twist of fate means the bank of Mum and Dad can no longer bail them out, suddenly the whole family must find out who they really are. Uncovering the secrets they all hide shows them a different side to the city they call home as they find allies in the most unlikely places.
Going Back and Each and Every One are published by Orion Books and are available in paperback and ebook format. You can order your copies, with Free Worldwide Postage here and ebook editions can be ordered via amazon links below:

We will focus on POS tagging in this blog.
While HMM gives us a joint probability on tags and words: . Tags t and words w are one-to-one mapping, so in the series, they share the same length.
We will need an log-linear model to define , which means given the current sentence, what is the possible sequence of the tags for each word.
The first line is simply a chain rule, which conditions on word from the start to the current, and tags from the start to the previous one. The second line applies the independence assumptions, because it is a trigram model, so we condition on only previous two tags, not every tag in the history.
We will define a 4-tuple representation as the history: . Given the current position i, the first two elements are the previous two tags, the third one w is the whole sentence.
Besides, we have a large set of all possible histories. Because you will have a number of different sentence length n, although the tag set is finite.
A feature here, means a mapping function f, who maps input domain ( ) and tags ( ) to a real value. For example, a binary feature is defined as f: . We usually have more than one features, so we have a vector with m dimensions if we have m features.
There is a trigram feature, and it is very similar to the trigram model. Another one is a tag feature, it is actually mapping a word to a tag. It is from language model.
Say we have a labeled sentence: Characteristics \O of \O lipase \I-GENE.., we have now . At the position of i = 3, that is the word "lipase", we will have both two features to be 1.
Besides, we will have a weight vector , who decides which feature weights more.
is defined as a set of all possible output structures given a sentence x. is a sequence of tagging .
The data is described in this blog. Full data and code find here. We are using the same dataset on tagging these words. My code is missing the q function, thus the ViterbiGLM is only pseudo code. But you will find the codes for getting bigram and tag features.
The vector can be computed using a perceptron algorithm, it is a way for parameter estimation. Here we read directly from the tag.model file, part of data is shown below.

The key to Right Movement is balancing productive stress with recovery – moving like a pendulum between periods of exertion and periods of rest and relaxation, with proper nutrition across the board.
This dance between these two states is known as pendulation, and it creates strength in the body, supports heart rate variability and improves overall health. Without both sides of the pendulum, the productive stress of exercise can quickly become "unproductive stress." Our recovery time must consider nutrition, hydration, quieting the mind, flexibility and stretching, breathing deeply, and a way of removing lactic acid from the body such as an epsom salts bath.
Those not as predisposed to enlivening workouts might wonder – "well what about if I just relax? Isn't that a better way to reduce stress?" The truth is that a movement practice triggers its own wonderful bio-chemical waterfall (like endorphins – Yay!) that balances out the stress hormones (like cortisol – BOO!) that are swirling through most of our bodies on a regular basis.
But you don't have to lift weights if that's not your thing – or become a cardio fiend if it doesn't call to you. The key is discovering your Right Movement – a practice that feels fun and challenging and gets the heart pumping and the muscles working in a way that is right for you. This might be walking, jogging outside or at the gym, taking a dance class, taking yoga classes, working with a trainer, dancing around your living room to an upbeat playlist for 15 minutes. Whatever it is, as Nike says, Just Do It!
The body needs proper nutrition to fuel productive workouts and to recover and regenerate after them. Crowd out processed and packaged foods with an abundance of fresh produce and a moderate amount of whole grains/legumes. Limit meat. Reduce and maybe eventually remove stimulants/drugs. Shoot for three balanced meals and snacks to support recovery. Nutritional choices account for approximately 60% of unproductive stress in the human body.
By eating consistent meals with high quality nutrition, the body no longer responds by holding onto excess weight. A diet that removes foods that cause unproductive stress in the human body (ironically they are also the foods we crave when stressed) and stimulants (also consumed as a result of stress) creates optimal conditions in the physical body.
Make a recovery plan and follow it: stretching, hydration, nutrition, relaxation, sleep. Alternate your movement practices to allow for recover – for example cycle one day, take a restorative yoga class the next. It's not just the big muscles that need stretching and recovery either, it's also the fascia and nervous system which are addressed by restorative, yin and yoga therapeutics.
Book your favorite masseuse… every week! Take epsom salts baths. Breathe deeply. Head into nature… every day! Surround yourself by flowers, your favorite essential oils, candles, soothing and/or energizing music. Practice meditation, even just 5 minutes a day.
One of the incredible things about yoga practice, is that it has benefits on so many levels: physical, spiritual and emotional. Knowing not just the biological impact of the poses, but also their symbolic influence, can really aid in getting ALL the benefits.
Developing abdominal strength isn't only relegated to crunches and ab work on the floor. So when you wake up feeling low, or just want to boost the confidence you already have, try the following standing core exercises. Setting aside five minutes to practice these three asanas throughout your day may leave you with more than just a toned midsection.
True to its name, this pose is fierce! Particularly when you hold the posture for several minutes. The action of engaging the abs by drawing the navel to the spine and lifting up on the pelvic floor strengthens the posture and tones your body! For a detailed description, check out this article at Yoga Journal, or this explanation at YogaSimple.
We recommend holding the posture for 5 deep breaths. Repeat the posture three times, each time sinking a little bit deeper into your chair! The mantra "I'm stronger than I think I am" can be a wonderful support for this asana.
This posture looks easy, but with several deep breaths, the abdominal obliques will be firing!
With each inhalation, find length in the spine. With each exhalation, extend a little bit deeper into the form. Practice this posture on both sides for 5 deep inhalations and exhalations through the nose. Repeat three times.
The name is a mouthful, but the posture can be incredibly rewarding, as it requires you to engage your lower abdominal muscles and the bandhas (particularly mula bandha and uddiyana bandha… more on these helpful little tricks in a forthcoming article!).
Try this posture with your hands on your hips and your leg extended in front of you with your foot flexed, directing energy through the standing foot and the foot that is lifted. Practice this posture on each side for five deep breaths, three reps on both sides. Your leg can remain bent if straightening the leg is not possible. Over time you can explore more advanced options such as clasping the big toe and extending the leg straight out in front, out to the side, and even twisting.
Here's a great video on the whole standing sequence, from moderate to advanced versions.
If you're more drawn to a restorative practice, check out their restorative sequence for holiday survival!
And if belly health is your top priority, they've got a more active sequence to support digestion.
Check out the video below that explains and demonstrates this easy movement. We recommend doing this for five minutes a day, several times a week.
The adjective "humble" comes from latin roots humilis, which can be translated as "from the earth" or "grounded." Defined as "a modest or low view of one's importance," humility or "being humble" can easily be associated with the emotions of submission or passivity. However, the asana, Humble Warrior, invites forth a new, more expansive definition of being humble.
Each stage of entering the posture teaches us something about embodied humility.
– We first find stability and presence with solid footing and a rooted foundation.
– Then we balance our hips as we send our front knee out directly over the ankle.
– Our hips are strong emotional centers in our bodies and, by balancing and opening our hips in this posture, we are also releasing stuck emotional energy.
– Lifting and opening the heart, we clasp our hands behind us, melting our shoulder blades down our backs and interlacing the fingers.
– The next action is to draw the navel toward the spine, tucking and rounding, engaging the core.
– At the core resides an energy center called the Manipura Chakra, which is associated with self-esteem and confidence. A strong sense of self helps this energy center stay vital and healthy. Likewise, a healthy sense of self precedes humility.
– After we lift the heart and engage the core, we bow the head toward the inside of the front foot, releasing the head and the neck, while keeping our hips and shoulders aligned.
Here's one way to look at the subtleties of the posture: Finding stability and strength, we can stand in the present moment on our own two feet. By aligning and opening our hips, we balance and let go of stuck emotional energy, generating inner peace. By releasing our shoulders (or "should-ers") down our back with our clasp, we open and lift the heart. Engaging our strong core, we express a healthy sense of self. And, finally, surrendering to higher power with a deep bow toward the floor, we let go of pride.

Spring has sprung and, as the wind blows in warmer weather and the sun begins to shine, we literally begin to spring into action. Despite the days being longer, so many of us still feel like we are short on time.
Taking time to practice yoga becomes even more important as our calendars begin to overflow with activity and plans. This is, of course, a perfect time to prioritize regular yoga classes. On the days when yoga class just won't fit into your schedule, set aside a couple minutes to listen to our May playlist and move through your favorite yoga asanas.
During yoga class, the teacher's voice and their playlist can help you to go deep into your practice. This May Mantra Playlist offers a gentle rhythm to support you in your personal practice.
So when you need a little extra calm in your life, slow down and turn on these tunes, featuring three of our fav yoga artists. Listen on your commute to work, play these mantras as you practice at home, or allow these healing sounds to help you let down as you drift off to sleep at the end of the day.
You'll find this playlist helps you to breathe deeply, with a steady, gentle rhythm designed to invoke a sense of inner peace… so allow your breath to be deep and rhythmic… and just follow the guidance of your own body.
Go ahead…. #GoDeep and create some calm!

In order to create a more attractive "gateway" into the City along 11th Street, the City of Tracy will begin median landscaping along the 11th Street Median from Corral Hollow Road to Lammers Road. Attractive landscaping will be installed in the Medians to establish the community identity. The poorly growing trees will be removed and new landscaping including trees and ground cover will be installed. Overhead spray irrigation will be converted to series of low volume bubbler heads to comply with State's mandated water ordinance. Construction is expected to begin in mid-April and is anticipated to be completed in mid-September 2018.
Eleventh Street between Corral Hollow Road and Lammers Road will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes of traffic in each direction during constructions, which will likely result in traffic delays for motorists. The City recommends that motorist consider using alternate routes, or plan for delays, before traveling in the area. Access to businesses and residences near the project area will remain open during construction. Construction related noise will likely occur during scheduled working hours, which are Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Q: Problem when converting a JSON list in Flutter (My model is not a subtype of type 'Map' in type cast) I have a problem when converting my json to my model in Flutter.
I would like to access the 'body' list in order to then display the list containing 'children'.
I am trying to do it the way I already know and never failed me, now I have an exception:

type 'MenuBodyData' is not a subtype of type 'Map<String, dynamic>' in type cast".

Maybe someone knows a solution to this problem?
My model :
    @JsonSerializable()
    class MenuBodyData {
    /// const constructor of MenuBodyData model
    const MenuBodyData({
    required this.type,
    required this.shrinkWrap,
    required this.children,
    required this.floatingActionButtons,
    });

    /// returns MenuBodyData from Json
    factory MenuBodyData.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) =>
      _$MenuBodyDataFromJson(json);

    /// menu type
    final String? type;

    /// menu status
    final bool? shrinkWrap;

    /// menu children
    final List<ChildrenBodyData>? children;

    /// menu floatingActionButtons
    final bool? floatingActionButtons;

     /// return json based on MenuBodyData
     Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$MenuBodyDataToJson(this);
    }

My JSON :

My code :
     /// returns menu body
     Future<List<ChildrenBodyData>> getChildren() async {
      final requestBody = {
      'DatabaseHandle': 'WUWER_TESTY',
      'Operator': userLogin,
      'Password': userPassword,
      'ServiceName': 'Soneta.Dps.Wms.Api.Interfaces.IMws, Soneta.Dps.Wms.Api',
      'MethodName': 'GetMenuList',
      'MethodArgs': null,
       };
       final uri = Uri.https(
       apiBaseUrl,
       apiBaseMethods,
       );
       final response = await _httpClient.post(
       uri,
       body: jsonEncode(requestBody),
       headers: headers,
       );
      final exception = _exception(response);
      if (exception != null) {
      throw RequestException(exceptionMessage: exception);
      }
      final bodyItems = <MenuBodyData>[];
      final childrenItems = <ChildrenBodyData>[];
      try {
      final dynamic jsonBody =
          (_resultInstance(response) as Map<String, dynamic>)['body'];
      for (final bodyItem in jsonBody) {
        final item = MenuBodyData.fromJson(bodyItem as Map<String, dynamic>);
        bodyItems.add(item);
      }
      for (final jsonChildren in bodyItems) {
        final children =
            ChildrenBodyData.fromJson(jsonChildren as Map<String, dynamic>);
        childrenItems.add(children);
      }
      return childrenItems;
      } catch (e) {
      throw MenuItemDeserializationFailure();
      }
      }

My ChildrenBodyData model :
  @JsonSerializable()
  class ChildrenBodyData {
  /// const constructor of ChildrenBodyData model
  const ChildrenBodyData({
  required this.type,
  required this.backgroundColor,
  required this.margin,
  required this.width,
  required this.name,
  required this.id,
  required this.textAlign,
  required this.onPressed,
  });

  /// returns ChildrenBodyData from Json
  factory ChildrenBodyData.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json)    =>
  _$ChildrenBodyDataFromJson(json);

  /// children type
  final String? type;

  /// children id
  final int? id;

  /// children backgroundColor
  final int? backgroundColor;

  /// children margin
  final double? margin;

  /// children width
  final double? width;

  /// children name
  final String? name;

  /// text textAlign
  final String? textAlign;

  /// text textAlign
  final List<OnPressedData>? onPressed;

  /// return json based on ChildrenBodyData
  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() =>       _$ChildrenBodyDataToJson(this);

}

A: To access body's children you need to change this:
for (final jsonChildren in bodyItems) {
    final children =
            ChildrenBodyData.fromJson(jsonChildren as Map<String, dynamic>);
    childrenItems.add(children);
}

to this:
for (final item in bodyItems) {
    final children = (item["children"] as List).map((e) => ChildrenBodyData.fromJson(e)).toList();

    childrenItems.addAll(children);
}

I don't know if you handle this in you model class or not. but if not you can do up, but if you handle children in your model class you just need this:
for (final item in bodyItems) {
     childrenItems.addAll(item.children);
}

and for access to childrenItems value you can do this:
print("name = ${childrenItems[0].name}");

A: bodyItems is a list of MenuBodyData. You iterate over it at
  for (final jsonChildren in bodyItems) {

So each jsonChildren is a MenuBodyData object. Yet, you try to cast it to a map when doing
jsonChildren as Map<String, dynamic>

You can't just do that. You probably want to do this instead:
jsonChildren.toJson()

EDIT:
On second thought, I think you actually want to do this. Your MenuBodyData objects should already have a list of ChildrenBodyData
for (final jsonChildren in bodyItems) {
    childrenItems.addAll(jsonChildren.children ?? []);
}

Here are some beloveds filling the Flower beds right now.
Maltese Cross makes a bold statement especially as set off by the Evening Primrose in the background.
Even as most of the Roses are dropping their petals, this Clematis still makes a lovely contrast as it climbs over a John Davis Rose.
Not all the Roses have gone by yet. Some are still looking their best including the Konigin Von Danemark Rose.
Feverfew volunteers abundantly in the Arbor Garden. Here it encircles an Icelandic Poppy.
This Rudbeckia is called Irish Eyes for obvious reasons.
In the Venus Garden, the annuals start to plump up!
This Geranium, new to the farm is called Garden's Joy.
The Honeybees were going nuts today- Something out in their world was offering up a lot of pollen. In a wacky experiment, I recorded the answering machine message from right by one of the hives, hoping the incredible buzz of bees would be able to be heard on the message. I am not sure it worked, but it gave everyone in the office a laugh as I crouched down amongst the bees to record the message.
Tristan de Cunha. Located 1,700 miles off the coast of South Africa, 2,000 miles from South America and smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic, this 37.8 square mile island is considered to be one of the remotest places on earth.
In 1506, portuguese explorer, Tristao da Cunha, did a sail-by without landing. In a typical bout of explorer hubris, this sail-by seemed to be enough for him to decide to name the uninhabited island after himself.
It wasn't until 1643 that people actually came ashore and it took until 1810 for someone to settle permanently on the island. This first full time resident, Jonathan Lambert, was originally from Salem, Massachusetts. Apparently he was a bit of a dreamer or simply a big egotist like Tristao. He claimed the island as his kingdom in 1810. His rule of what he called, "the Islands of Refreshment" was short lived as he died in a boating accident in 1812, shortly before the British took control of the island in 1816.
The British swept in to "annex" the island when they began to worry the French would use Tristan da Cunha to stage a rescue operation of Napoleon from his prison on Saint Helena, an island located 1,500 miles north.
Annex is a nice word in relation to housing, but in history it is rarely a good thing when a country annexes anything. However, Tristan da Cunha is so remote that it has remained challenging for the British to play out any imminent domain/masters of the universe sort of dramas on her shores. One exception to their hands-off management style occurred in 1961 when the British required the entire population to evacuate the island due to a volcanic activity.
The current population is thought to have descended from 15 ancestors, eight males and seven females, who arrived on the island at various times between 1816 and 1908. At present the population is about 275. I expect it was just shy of this number in 1961 when the islanders were relocated first to Cape Town, South Africa and then to a collection of disused huts in Pendell Army Camp in Surrey, England then finally to a Royal Air force station in Southampton.
When I was a young girl, I read a book about the islanders' experience in the modern world and their decision to go back to Tristan da Cunha come hell, high water or further volcanic explosions.
Their story appealed to me on so many levels. I felt just as they did about city noise and modern contraptions. I could well imagine making the decision to go back to their tiny community and wild island world. I was ready to go there myself.
Lucky for me, life settled me in a place with some odd similarities to Tristan da Cunha. The 2000 census lists the landmass of "Meriden Island" with a population of 309 while more current data lists it's population as 211. I haven't noticed a large exodus so I expect our population is really pretty much like Tristan da Cunha at around 275. The "sea" around our tiny landmass is not as empty as in the south Atlantic. It contains Walmarts and Home Depots as well as large tracks of forest lands.
Out on those high seas, smart phones work and people can upload to Facebook without problems. Here on Meriden Island, the smart phones don't work. Or at least on this part of Meriden island, this funny hill, the inhabitants have to leave home to talk on their iPhones. Even sending a text requires walking around our hay field until a message finally finds a way to launch. I don't exactly know why we are in what off-islanders call a "dead zone" but we are. The folks on Tristan da Cunha may even be doing better with technology than us. In 2005 they were given a UK postal code to (TDCU 1ZZ) to make it easier to shop online. Perhaps they have their own cell tower now too.
Were we to reside on actual high seas like Tristan da Cunha, people might understand why we have so many technology snafus here on Meriden Island. I am sorry for all the technology problems we have that complicate connecting with us. We may not appear to be on a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic, but for some reason, technologically speaking, we are.
Our phone problems are legion. Email gets hung up and arrives in clumps at random moments according to the whims of forces unknown to us. Lately, there have been even more delays than usual. Our DSL line is slow as molasses because we live so far down the line as to be only able to get unreliable service. That is what they keep telling us when we call to ask them to clear our line or "do something" to help us out. I have spent a month trying to upload a new photo to our Facebook page and even with Jim, Ben and Will involved, nothing will load. It used to be easy to upload photos. Just a month ago in fact, but apparently right now, no can do. So far, I can still launch blogs from here. Fingers crossed that this stays true. Soon I may have to go off-island to some cafe with wireless to get anything done.
Not to worry. We are here. Our gardens are full of Flowers and our shelves full of Flower Essences ready for you. We open every email we get when we get it, and most of them do seem to get here eventually. We go to town each day to get our mail from you and to mail you your packages. I seem to have gotten my wish to live on a Tristan da Cunha, a place cut off from the hustle and bustle of modern life. And despite my occasional hand wringing, I like the quiet of all these things not working quite right. I like that we hear the thrushes all day long and watch fireflies at night. If there is a mandatory evacuation for a volcanic eruption, I will come back as soon as I can. I like it on this hilltop, this island of old fashion refreshment. And from this spot, we do our best to keep sending you our Flower Love. And we will keep doing this no matter what.
We have been in the middle of a heat wave as well as a technology meltdown.
"My" computer is tucked in a corner of the bottling room, a room closer by twenty seven steps to the living room couch than the three computers in the shipping wing. This means it requires much less effort to roll off the couch and take over this computer than to seize control of an office machine.
You may wonder why any of my kin are vying for control of something as antiquated as a desktop computer in this age of iPhones. Even now, we remain in a quirky spot in the hills of New Hampshire where no one's cell phones work. We can't even get a photo to launch on our Facebook page these days as our DSL line is so far from wherever it needs to be to actually work.
For these reasons and many more, "my" computer is everyone's default computer, and much like a hearth of old, there are usually people of all ages, shapes and sizes warming "my" seat. "My" computer sees so much traffic, I swear the UPS guy routinely stops in to use it on his way through to pick up our packages.
You know what, I could explain why "my" computer died last week, but it's really a long boring story: TMF as in Too Many Files probably sums it up best.
And needless to say, when old Bessie died, many of my seat warmers were very happy to whip out and buy "me" a replacement.
With my TMF problem, I have to admit to being relieved that "I" needed a new computer. Just getting to the Google home page took so long it required the patience of Mother Theresa (and she is perhaps the only person I know of who hasn't used "my" computer lately).
So today, there is a new computer in "my" spot. As William was both a part of old Bessy's demise as well as a part of the solution, I feel it is only fair to dedicate this first blog on the new computer to Will and his trials and tribulations in the garden.
Yes, it's a first. A plant actually whipped itself across Will as he walked by it and gave him this injury.
The offending plant? This Hops vine that grows so fast in a Dr. Seussian sort of way that I can't say I am surprised that it slapped Will on his way into the house.
Will, the Hops plant may not be feeling too apologetic, but I am sorry for your injury. Now, get out of my chair and let me post this.
First a few more Rose photos. This is their moment in our gardens! Here's La Belle Sultane Rose. This is one of the first Roses that I fell for. After her arrival, I began to look for more and more old fashioned shrub Roses. They offer so much beauty, fragrance and wisdom, and they're tough enough to survive our winters!
Here's Alchymist Rose early this morning. This one often dies back hard in the winters, but she always comes back strong. Her coloring is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Madame Legras de St Germain Rose shares the fence with Clematis Montana.
White Roses are a challenge to photograph. In photos, they look much more washed out than they are in person. Here's Madame up close, but again, she is much prettier in person.
Final Rose photo of the day is Konigin von Danemark. She's the one for dissolving shame spirals and any ideas that we aren't lovable just the way we are. She really is love incarnate.
Now my scotch tape story. Last week, Emily assembled a list of all the Flowers that still need photos on the website. I was very surprised to find we didn't have a photo of Blue Flag Iris. Since this has been part of the collection since our first years in the late eighties, it seemed an odd oversight- also annoying to find this out now since the Blue Flag Iris are all gone by in the gardens here.
On my lunchtime walk with MayMay, we went on a route we haven't taken in a few weeks and gratefully stumbled on a lone Blue Flag Iris looking quite woebegone in a ditch. Unfortunately as I picked the Blue Flag Iris to bring home to photograph, I added insult to injury and pretty much tore her petals off.
Feeling a bit desperate, I decided to try taping the Flower together for its photo shoot. The falling petal on the right is taped on and there have been other repairs. Despite the triage, there was something that still looked a little beat up about the Flower. After the photo shoot, I decided it's droopy and bedraggled look ( through no fault of its own) wasn't representative of the Essence, and I would have to wait 'til next year for a photo after all.
A few minutes later white picking up piles of weeds at the top of the drive, I caught a flash of purple tucked behind a group of Celandine. There was another lone Blue Flag Iris. So much for my theory they were all gone.
Here it is! A Blue Flag Iris that really sings of this Essence's glory. I thank all Blue Flag Iris involved in this morning's photo adventures and the Roses too!


Hay fever allergies, also known as respiratory allergies surprising impacts of the young children in America. To ones surprise, hay fever allergies are seldom connected to hay or result in a fever, nor does a virus induce hay fever allergies. With the staggering percentage of young children becoming impacted by allergies, healthcare understanding of how to treat hay fever and respiratory allergies remains limited.
If your youngster has been diagnosed with respiratory allergies, there are rather a few points you can do in your house to help minimize the symptoms. Eliminating as a lot dust and pollen from inside the home can make a significant distinction in the severity of allergy attacks. It is not just the dust you see in the air or on desktops that causes trouble. There is also dust hiding in carpets, furnishings and bedding.
Toenail fungus turns to be a chronic condition, and if it is not aching, a number of people today do not get treatment. Even so, to treat toenail fungus, persons with unrelieved illness like diabetes ought to see a doctor if they come to be aware of adjustments in their nails as it might be an indication of far more critical challenges. If the nail turn out to be very thick and it is tough to wear footwear and one feel discomfort even though walking then one really should check out a medical doctor.
Toenail fungus, also identified by the term onychomycosis, is an ordinary condition that disfigures and even demolishes the toenail. The massive toe and the tiny toe are the nails that are most most likely to be affected by toenail fungus. This condition is caused by any a single of the numerous sorts of fungi that create in moist and warm surroundings, specifically in the shoes. As they rise, they invade and feed on the protein that creates difficult surface of the toenail.
The nail can be filed down and trimmed cautiously, either at property or by a podiatrist. If the infection is gentle and much localized then to treat toenail fungus a medical professional may perhaps recommend a medicated nail polish containing either Loceryl or Loprox. If the infection persists or carry on spreading then a doctor might prescribe an oral, systemic anti-fungal medication such as Sporanox or Lamisil. The remedy may well requires about 12 weeks. Each of these drugs have some really harmful effects that may possibly not be appropriate for some individuals.
Toenail fungus is uncommon in children, on the other hand, the probabilities becomes far more as one's age increases. Around 48% of folks in the United States have at least one particular toe affected by the time they are 70 years of age The uncomfortable tight fitting shoes and layers of nail polish enhances the danger of rising toenail fungus. It can also spread particular person-to-particular person in public locations, such as locker rooms and showers. Obtaining a chronic situation that have an impact on a circulation, such as diabetes or HIV also enhances your risk. The impacted nail will grow to be stained and will turn really thick and overgrown. One may possibly notice stinking debris under the nail. The nail may perhaps disintegrate and ultimately fall off absolutely, or it may well become so thick that it is extremely painful to put on shoes.

Drivers are stuck in limbo as the world's oil supply is reshuffled
NEW YORK (AP) — At a gas station outside New York City, retired probation officer Karen Stowe confronted a price of the bomb that he did not want to pay. Instead, he bought groceries at the convenience store, planning to buy cheaper gas elsewhere.
"The price is so high that people have to think a lot about where they are going to drive," said Stowe, who had just volunteered at a food pantry. "People are in trouble, and that's the truth."
Although drivers in the US, Europe and elsewhere are taking a break from the sky high gas prices endured over the summer, the cost remains difficult for many who have been battling relentless inflation. The US average was $3.19 per gallon, below a record $5 in Junewhile European Union pump prices have fallen by almost the equivalent of 40 cents, to $6.58 a gallon, since October.
Drivers are now hoping that the situation will not worsen after a series of cuts linked to Russia's war in Ukraineaccidents and the global economic slowdown have put the world's oil supply to the test. While oil and gasoline prices have fallen despite a recent supply shortage, those threats could end up driving up costs this winter.
Political cartoons about world leaders
— Dozens of oil tankers were trapped in Turkey for days.
"The global system can probably withstand a few more days of these outages, but if they persist, they will play a significant role in driving prices up," said Claudio Galimberti, Rystad Energy's senior vice president of analysis.
"It can quickly turn into a huge wave of COVID engulfing hospitals and then it will have a worse effect on demand than COVID policy," Galimberti said.
Restrictions on Russian exports they are likely to have a bigger impact on oil prices next month. Although Western nations have banned Russian oil, customers in India and China are buying it, so there is enough oil on the market for those who need it. More than 97% of Russia's seaborne crude exports went to China and India last month, according to Refinitiv, a provider of financial market data.
"We do not ask our companies to buy Russian oil. We ask them to buy oil," Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said in Parliament last week. "But it is a sensible policy go where we get the best deal in the interest of the Indians, and that's exactly what we're trying to do."
In February, world oil supplies could be further constrained as European nations will not be able to buy Russian refined products such as gasoline and diesel, so Russia could reduce oil production.
"So far, there has not been a major drop in Russian production. But once Russia is unable to export products to Europe, it will have to reduce production, and that will result in a supply shortage, which will most likely be reflected in prices," Galimberti said.
Russia could also decide not to produce oil due to the G-7 price cap. Their oil sells for less than that now. But if the price rises and approaches the top, Russia could decide to take the oil off the market, analysts said.
"There is another shoe to drop on that front," said Kevin Book, CEO of Clearview Energy Partners.
The price cap will ensure a discount on Russian oil, especially in light of the $100 a barrel Russia earned just a few months ago, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
"We are focused on limiting Putin's ability to profit from rising prices to finance his illegal war, while promoting stable global energy markets," Jean-Pierre said. "This is not about Russian oil being taken out of the market. It is about the cap: the cap at this level maintains clear incentives for Russia to continue exporting, and we think it should."
International standard Brent crude was trading at around $82 a barrel on Thursday. It's likely to grow to $92 a barrel on average next year, according to projections by the US Energy Information Administration. That's still down from $125 seen this summer.
When it comes to pump prices, they're lower than last year, but Americans have paid $2 to $3 a gallon for most of the past decade, according to AAA data.
In the EU, where taxes account for a larger part of the cost of gasoline, prices fell to 1.70 euros per liter ($6.58 per gallon) in the first week of December from 1.80 euros per liter ($ 6.96 per gallon) at the end of October. , according to figures from the block's Executive Commission.
The recent price drop, coupled with freezing weather, has kept 28-year-old Aria Razdar behind the wheel of her BMW hatchback in Frankfurt, Germany. During the summer price spike, she rode a Vespa to work and school, but gas prices dropped and so did the temperature.
"Right now the prices are a little more reasonable, they're actually still high, but in comparison," said Razdar, a child care worker studying to be a teacher, as he finished pumping fuel in a freezing wind.
He spent just under 30 euros ($32) to fill up the tank for the week, a cost he said he could manage for the convenience of driving 12 minutes to work instead of spending 45 minutes on public transportation.
Others also wanted prices to be lower.
Gary Schwuchow, a retired maintenance supervisor, said he takes fewer road trips and saves money because he lives off his pension and Social Security payments.
"I used to be able to fill up the tank for $40 or $42, and now it's almost $60," he lamented as he filled up his Nissan Sentra at a station in Yonkers, New York, where a gallon of regular gasoline was sold. $3.79. "I no longer fill it. I put in $25 at a time."
McHugh reported from Frankfurt, Germany. Associated Press writers Fatima Hussein in Washington and Ashok Sharma in Delhi contributed.

Once, I was a king.
I admit it was only in my young daughter's eyes, but I was a king nonetheless and wouldn't have traded my parental eminence for all the world's castles.
We shared swashbuckling adventures and magical moments. I remember her hair flying horizontally on the merry-go-round at the local zoo. Or setting a new personal best for skating laps around the rink on a frigid January day. Circle after circle, racing together, outpacing the cold. Or staying up late to watch the fireworks on Canada Day, under eternally circling stars. Just me and her together, riding the wave.
There I was, on the verge of puberty, whiskers sprouting and voice cracking, everything changing, and every sense enthralled by the sheer newness of it. I was experiencing life in exciting and unexplored ways. It was in my bloodstream and there was no going back. The electric beat of living beckoned and my family relationships would never be the same. It caused them pain, but it was of the very best kind: natural and temporary.
My daughter's focus is now all about her friends. They are her world and that is our new reality. She tells me that they mean everything to her. Again, I remember the thrill of just hanging with my buddies, happy to be together as we tried to make sense of our new world order. When I think back, I cringe at how we sometimes looked and acted. But in the moment, we thought we were right out of Hollywood casting, the coolest of the cool.
I know I must accept this latest step on her journey to personal independence and fulfillment. So, what do I do with her natural independent streak and rapidly changing perspective, complete with barked orders and admonishments? I resolve to be a listener as she explains her world and its many challenges, conflicts and triumphs. I resolve to offer my support, not as an authoritarian, but as an authoritative voice that gives guidance and love. Above all, I resolve to give generous amounts of the one thing that I appreciated most when I was her age: understanding.
I try and keep the conversations going so that we understand each other. I make it clear that it is important to me to understand what she's thinking and feeling. I share stories of my experiences at her age, raw and unfiltered, not to preach but to help her understand me — and my concerns for her — better.
I'm glad my daughter has friends. It's a tough age in a tough world and kids need all the support they can find. While I wish I could hear, "Daddy, will you cuddle with me?" one more time, I accept that I never will. Our relationship will continue to change and evolve as our lives move forward. And if I can get through today, I'll try and figure out what tomorrow will bring. Whatever it is, it will be different. It will require change. It will be just her and me. Riding the wave.

When it comes to wedding transportation, the focus usually is on the bride and groom. Whether it's a sleek limo or a whimsical horse and carriage, wedding transportation is not only a necessity, but often a part of the celebration itself.
Who often gets forgotten about?
Wedding guest transportation often gets pushed to the back burner–unless you have a destination wedding. In fact, there's a good deal of confusion concerning exactly how much the bride and groom are responsible for when it comes to guest transportation to the wedding, if at all.
Here's your stress free guide to understanding your responsibilities, different modes of guest transportation, and how to keep everyone informed along the way.
To what degree is the wedding couple responsible for guest transportation?
For most ceremonies, transportation is up to the guest themselves. It is a nice touch, however, that if you have many out of town guests, or guests coming from particularly far (more than a day's drive) to offer a little help. Suggesting routes and hotels is great; if you can afford it, booking hotels is also a nice gesture.
Peggy Post of the New York Times, however, suggests that you may need to consider if you're having the venue and the reception at separate places, which many couples do. Offering directions is essential, and communicating near or before the wedding about any potential road delays or weather conditions is also advised. While you can rent for all your guests to ensure they arrive on time, it isn't consider essential in this case.
The exception is when you're hosting a destination wedding. The time, cost, and logistics can be a headache and major deterrent to guests. To avoid this, you'll want to arrange for airport pick up and drop off; transportation to the reception and ceremony, and to any other festivities. While you want be expected to pay for all guests' flights, do be realistic that it may limit who can come.
But what about the bridal party?
Wedding guest transportation is one thing; the bridal party is another. As you might expect, this is pretty much an obligation, even for simple logistic reasons. If you're holding a reception as the same place as your ceremony, or it's a local event with a pretty local party, you may be in luck and allow members, if they wish, to provide their own transportation. But generally speaking, you should at least offer. It also helps in correctly coordinating for arrivals, departures, and pictures.
When it comes to wedding transportation for guests, the options are as limitless as you make them, from classic limousines to Ubers, streetcars, taxis (though not as advised), horse and carriage rides, golf carts, and, if you're near water, even sailboats, gondolas, and rowboats!
Of course some of these are more practical than others. While horse and carriage rides would work for a venue and reception in close proximity, they obviously wouldn't be suited for more typical circumstances. When it comes to making a decision, consider the style and theme of your wedding, but also your budget and the distance and time between the ceremony and reception spaces.
Also consider less glamorous options, like shuttles or even buses, which are great for larger weddings. While prices vary by location, grouptravel.org estimates that Coach buses are among the more economical of wedding guest transportation options, costing $700-$1200 for six to eight hours, and boasting a large capacity.
What's the most important thing to consider for guest transportation?
If you decide to pay for transportation, or feel obligated to (in the case of destination weddings, or large weddings with high number of out-of-towners), you'll want to make sure both your are your guests are informed.
If you select an option with a lower capacity, or have a large guest list that requires multiple trips to and from a site, give yourself enough time in between the ceremony and reception. You may even want to assign guests a certain bus or time to catch the bus, all of which can be updated through a private forum through Guestboard, so no one gets left behind.
You'll also need to keep your guests informed of any schedule changes, and what to expect. Making them part of the conversation, or even allowing them to air out any questions or concerns with your, or even coordinate with other guests, is also an excellent way to make sure things run smoothly.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is hoping that the recent "Baby Doe" case in Massachusetts will generate some exposure for the bodies found in Allenstown.
A forensic drawing of the child known as Baby Doe kept her case in the public eye for months until she was ultimately identified. Two people have been arrested in connection with her death.
The same group that created the rendering also made computer-generated images of a young woman and three children whose bodies were found in oil drums in Allenstown many years ago.
"One of the big problems with this case for investigators is the fact that we've never been able to identify who these four people are, so without that, we can't do their background," Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Strelzin said. "We can't find out where they live, who they had contact with and potentially who the killer or killers were."
Through a variety of forensic tests, investigators have been able to establish that at least three of the bodies were related, and all four might have been considered a family.
"They have different characteristics, each of the individuals, and hopefully somebody will look at the pictures and say, 'This looks familiar to me,'" said Kim Fallon of the Medical Examiner's Office.
"I couldn't help but think about this case without the Baby Doe case, because I always wondered, was there someone out there who thought, 'My neighbors just moved,' or 'DCYF must have taken their children away,' so they justified why they weren't seeing these individuals anymore,'" said Kim Rumrill of the State Police Forensics Lab.
Investigators said they hope science will eventually put names with the faces and solve the mystery that has puzzled police for decades.

Haycock History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Haycock is a name whose history is connected to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Haycock family once lived in the county of Berkshire in an area that was referred to as the Heycock. This surname was originally derived from the Old English word Hay-cock which denoted someone who lived at the sign of the hedgecock.
Early Origins of the Haycock family
The surname Haycock was first found in Berkshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Early History of the Haycock family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Haycock research. Another 60 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Haycock History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Haycock Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Haycock family name include Heycock, Haycock, Heycocke, Haycocke and others.
Early Notables of the Haycock family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early Haycock Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Haycock migration to the United States +
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Haycock surname or a spelling variation of the name include:
Haycock Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
John Haycock, who arrived in Virginia in 1639 [1]
Thomas Haycock, aged 27, who arrived in Maine in 1812 [1]
Haycock migration to Canada +
Haycock Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Mr. Morris Haycock U.E. born in Long Island, New York, USA who settled in Sunbury County, New Brunswick c. 1784 [2]

Haycock migration to New Zealand +
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include:
Haycock Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
James Haycock, aged 35, who arrived in Nelson, New Zealand aboard the ship "Thomas Harrison" in 1842
Ann Haycock, aged 36, who arrived in Nelson, New Zealand aboard the ship "Thomas Harrison" in 1842

Research shows that the average person's reading speed is limited to the rate at which they speak — between 160 and 220 words per minute. Yet with proper training, you can read 2 to 5 times faster with improved comprehension and recall by eliminating the reading habits that hold you back.
Overcome the habits that prevent you from reading at your full potential.
Most of us were taught to read word-by-word or letter-by-letter. This causes us to read much slower than necessary, considering our brains are capable of handling thousands of word per minute. With improved reading skills, The Reader's Edge users learn to read groups of words instead of a single word at a time.
Most people "subvocalize," or silently speak words as they are read. Because you can't read any faster than you can speak, it's essential to eliminate or reduce your subvocalization.
The common habit of going back over words seriously hampers your reading speed. This habit is tied to the way we were taught to read — slowly and carefully, pondering over every word in hopes of increasing our comprehension. By learning to read faster, you'll be more involved with the material you're reading and improve your concentration and comprehension.
With a detailed lesson plan, you get guided training that provides step-by-step instructions.
You start by taking speed and comprehension tests to measure your current reading abilities. This way, you'll know your starting point and be able to easily monitor your progress.
Once you have evaluated your reading abilities, you can configure the program to an attainable reading goal. This ensures that the program is pushing you toward a realistic yet challenging reading speed.
The detailed lesson plan will sequentially move you through the program. You'll go from seeing and reading one word at a time to reading whole groups of words to practicing with full sections of text. We cover all aspects of the reading process from comprehension, vocabulary and reading speed to retention, recognition and word-association skills.
Learn a method of reading that will last a lifetime.
We don't promise to get you reading 10 times faster. What we do guarantee is you'll learn a reading method that will last a lifetime. Don't be fooled by methods that promise to teach you how to read thousands of words per minute — it's just not realistic.
By practicing with The Reader's Edge for only 15 minutes every other day for one month, we guarantee you'll at least double your current reading speed while improving your comprehension and recall. Imagine the free time you'll have by improving your reading skills!
