Cookie's Week is about a cat named Cookie. Cookie is a cat that does silly things. On Monday he fell in the toilet. On Tuesday Cookie upset the trash can. On Wednesday Cookie ran into the closet before the door closed. On Thursday Cookie dressed up like a princess. On Friday Cookie went into the vanishing room. The vanishing room is where you sing songs. On Saturday Cookie climbed the curtains. There's no Sunday. I like this book because it's sweet and cute. My favorite part is when Cookie ran into the closet. I would recommend this book to kids who like days-of-the-week books.
Editor's note: This review was dictated from memory and therefore should not be considered 100 percent accurate. Oh, and sorry, girls, the princess thing? Never happened. And I'm not sure where the heck the idea of a vanishing room came from, but I want one.
We're linking up with Our Little Masterpieces at Welcome to Our Wonderland, The Book Lovers' Blog Hop at Story Time Under the Stars, Kids Get Crafty at Red Ted's Art Blog, stART at A Mommy's Adventures, and Read-Aloud Thursday at Hope Is the Word.
We've been working on days of the week - I should go grab that one from the library - thanks for the reminder! Love that the review includes some poetic license when it comes to recalling the days' activities! I want a vanishing room too!
We have started talking about days of the week too and what we do on different days. This sounds like alovely book. And I ADORE the carts. Especially the chalk drawing. Wow!
Thank you for linking to Kids Get Crafty! As always, it is much appreciated!!
Cookie's Week is one of my sixth grader's all-time favorite books. He read it over and over in second grade, and was just reminiscing about it last night!
we LOVE this book in our house! I LOVE the drawings :) they are soo cute :)!!
Thank you for sharing this book. I am going to have to find this book. The pictures are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Very creative to add personal touches to the story. Yes, you are right, my daughter would love to see the cat dress up as a princess. Too bad it never happened.
These are wonderful. Each one is so different and special.
Hi!! Visiting and following from Storytime Under the Stars hop! I love, love, love this book - great way to teach little ones about the concept of time!!

After a challenging day at the Young Dementia UK conference in Birmingham yesterday, the night was calmer than the night before although the air again was crisp and there was a short shower before breakfast.
After Breakfast, there was still time to relax in the garden with a coffee, the sun was now out and out of the wind it was quite warm.
Time passed and it was soon time to say my goodbyes and head off in a taxi to the railway station.
The journey back to Sheffield wasn't as bad and I arrived pretty much on time and took a taxi home.
Later on Friday night, I was online for the Dementia Alliance International Action Group meeting, a fantastic group of people worldwide, challenging the stigma and human rights abuses, who campaign for change not for themselves but everyone living with or supporting people with Dementia.
I have written this article after returning home and the detail of my time at Woodbrooke has already begun to fade.
I can remember the room but its detail is like a blueprint. I know what was in the room but trying to visualise each piece of furniture leaves me with an image of its outline.
It seems as though the detail is just beyond my reach.
I look forward to being back at Woodbrooke in the near future and relaxing in the gardens, whatever the weather.
After a relaxing day Back at Woodbrooke, all night the wind and rain lashed about outside with the odd branch falling to the floor.
There was a crisp Autumn feeling and the leaves had begun to fall across the gardens.
We all gathered for breakfast and then took taxi's into the city centre to "The Studio" where the Young Dementia UK Conference, organised by Hawking publications, was being held.
After a coffee, the conference began with the opening addresses and the obligatory housekeeping.
There were then a series of presentations, which contained too many facts and figures, too many numbers and graphs and by the break it was beginning to be a challenge to stay focused.
Over lunch it was time to meet and talk to delegates, to challenge perceptions and talk about how people with Dementia can be involved in the evolution of Dementia services, challenging the negative narratives and the human rights abuses.
During the lunch break, I was able to meet Dr Richard Hawkins and Mark Ivory from the Journal of Dementia Care and Eloisa Stella, Vice-President and co-founder of Novilunio Onlus Association amongst others.
It was just a shame that this was done by the stairs not on stage at the conference.
I think we were generally disappointed with the conference, my understanding that last year was about professionals and this year about people living with Dementia.
Having written this article retrospectively, the detail of the presentations have long been lost in the fog of Dementia but this is a copy of the programme.
It should have been an opportunity to showcase the work of people living with Dementia under the age of 65, to show what can be achieved with inclusive post-diagnosis support, services and rehabilitation.
To get out the message that the way Dementia is portrayed by society, Governments, Healthcare Systems, and the media is wrong, to turn the negative narrative into a positive one.
To get the message out that you can live your life within the reducing limits of your Dementia following a diagnosis of Dementia.
The Global Disability Summit mantra of "Nothing About US, Without Us" could have been more prominent in the planning.
Eventually we retired to the local Pub and then made our way by taxi to Woodbrooke.
After supper we relaxed before retiring to bed one by one, Wendy Mitchell having left us at the conference to continue her busy schedule in the west country.
Tomorrow would be my Last Morning at Woodbrooke for a while.
Recently, I had the pleasure of returning to Woodbrooke, formerly the home of George Cadbury and now a Quaker conference centre in Birmingham.
A taxi took me to the railway station and with my noise cancelling headphones removing the cacophony of noise surrounding me I made it onto the train.
Naturally we were delayed getting to Birmingham, engineering works at Derby causing a stop start progress.
Arriving in Birmingham, later than planned, I took a taxi to Woodbrooke, where the receptionist greeted me with a smile and her broad Brummie accent, seemingly recognising me from my previous visits.
I left my coat and bag in the luggage store as it wasn't yet time to check in and I got a coffee and went and sat in the garden.
As I sat in the garden with my coffee, it was windy and spitting with rain but I didn't care, it was time to relax and enjoy the wonderful garden.
I had left Dementia at the door with the judgements and negative perceptions, it would sneak in over my time there but would be sent away like a naughty child.
I bumped in to Philly Hare and Rachel Litherland from Innovations in Dementia CIC who were having a meeting there, Philly would be staying on but Rachel would be off to London later that day.
After lunch, coffee in hand it was back to the garden, the sun had come out and it was quite warm out of the wind.
I sat and relaxed waiting for the arrival of more of my wonderful friends who I would probably have never met if it wasn't for my Dementia.
From 5pm they began to arrive and by supper time we all gathered in the dining room to catch up.
After supper came the rehearsal for the "Dementia Diaries Live" performance at the Young dementia UK conference the next day.
…until it ended in a fit of giggles.
Sadly, no one was up to taking photos of our "Director of Laughter" Wendy Mitchell leading the rehearsal into chaos and gradually one by one we retired for the night.
It was a wonderful end to the day reader, people with Dementia can enjoy themselves.
Tomorrow would see us at the Young dementia UK conference.
This page brings together some of the activities that I have been doing since I finally began to live with my diagnosis of Dementia.
My first trip to a Dementia Cafe.
Activities reader, no matter how small can help us to live our lives within our Dementia.


Painted by Janet Kruskamp, the Wine Country II wall mural from Murals Your Way will add a distinctive touch to any room. Choose a pre-set size, or customize to your wall.
I own an old police station and wanted to convert one of the cells into a wine cellar. I searched for weeks for an accent mural. Murals Your Way was hands down the best choice in both quality and price point. I ordered my selection in canvas and love the look and feel of the material.....I loved it so much I ordered a second mural!


Many times I'm dealing with new Drupal modules. Usually the coders writing those modules are not always UX experts. But even if they are, trust me I can easily get lost when taking the first steps. So I'll share with you what I usually do when I check a new module I intend to use.
If I don't know the exact solution I often look at the Drupal usage stats page. Here you can find all the modules (not sandbox) ordered by usage. Don't take it as an only evaluation scale of the module - many modules are used because the new kid on the block is not yet discovered, or some module just not meant to be on production (as usage stats mainly for prod sites). So there you can find quite some modules hopefully that just sound good.
Inspecting them a bit more you can see the chart falling rates. Well, we're not a Hans Rosling but we can make some judgement by taking a quick look at the chart. Then the module page shows the description - we like it or not. Don't forget to check for the [documentation] link on the sidebar, that's pretty important. Then comes the critical part, on the same right side the bug and issue report. Always read through the open bug reports! You can easily spot what could cause problem in your environment.
Now, if you're still in your dreamworld thinking that the module won't launch the rocket silos (just kidding) you can download it. Being a developer you shouldn't miss checking the source. I'm one of the superlame guys who couldn't find the menus on the UI. So I go to the module file and check hook_menu. There you will know where are the UI anchors. You sure checked those pages - looking cool, *whew*.
Then look for alter points: drupal_alter, module_invoke, call_user_func_array, module_implements. It's an indicator how cooperative the module is in general. Trust me, drupal_alter is like your best pal who rents his girlfriend whenever you want.
Now it's also worth to check what APIs (less core-ish) it uses: check for hook implementations - it's nice when Drupal is used well.
Very crucial part can be if it's working with exportable items, using CTools or Features API. A little trick I do sometimes is looking for module_exists. That check the existence of another useful module that can add extra to the functionality and that's the only way you can be informed about that.
And finally we check the renderables. How well it uses the theming later, hook_theme, preprocessors and templates. Maybe look for form element definitions, formatters and widgets.
Then you can earn the semi-geek lover badge :) Congratulations. One day I'll share with you the uber-geek lover recipe for module recognition.
Did I miss any step when one want to meet a new module?
All right I tell you the short evaluation of a module: shout the name in public -> on any occurrence of murder, suicide or goat sacrifice you better not to install it. No blood - install it. Cheers.


As I write this, warships are gathering in the Mediterranean sea and the Persian Gulf, ready to enter a civil war that's been waging for years among Syria's Sunni and Shiite Muslims. While the war has been going on for years, the conflict between the two groups has roots that go back much further, and it could be argued that the Office of the President of the United States – because of ties with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE – has a vested interest in making sure the Sunnis win. One thing that's beyond dispute, however, is that American boots and bombs in Syria means OPEC's oil prices will go sky-high, and Canada will make a killing.
Already, oil futures are trading at a 2-year high, with Brent October futures are above $115 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate blend (WTI) hit $110 on speculation unrest in Syria will disrupt oil shipments and supplies in the Middle East. That's a surge of over 27% since this year's April low and the highest oil has been since May 2011, when several sources claim that price-fixing and price-gouging among the big American oil refineries began in earnest.
So, the big winners in a US strike on Syria seem to be (in no particular order), Sunni Muslim extremists/rebels (aka Al-Quaeda), Saudi Arabia/OPEC (who have been vocal in opposing the use of alternative fuels and electric vehicles in the US), and Canada, whose Albertan tar sand operations only really make fiscal sense when oil is over $100/bbl.
Canada's tar sands, by the way, have been opposed by the Bishop Desmond Tutu and called "the worst natural disaster in history" by Greenpeace. Meanwhile, the Canadian government and the TransCanada company have been lobbying hard to get US approval to build a number of pipelines (including the Keystone XL) across the the US in a bid to export Canadian oil to emerging markets. A war in Syria would make those pipelines, and Alberta's oil reserves, much, MUCH more valuable.
So, what's Canada's official stance on the war? According to CTV reports, Canada's in!
Baird reportedly outlined what a strike may look like, saying "quick, limited and conducted primarily with cruise missiles and drones, a war designed to fight an enemy who has access to powerful weaponry, including weapons of mass destruction, and has demonstrated a willingness to use them," and claims that the conflict is Syria "appears to be primarily sectarian in nature", which means he's wither stupid, or thinks the Canadian people are stupid enough to buy into his bulls***. Either way, the US will have "full political support" from Canada in the event of a strike, which may be a valuable commodity in the absence of UN sanctioning.

If you are staying on top of fitness trends like the trainers at Prime Fitness, you know that "barre workouts" are up-to-the-minute in fitness these days. While all barre workouts differ slightly in structure, most will incorporate exercises that are done at a ballet barre combined with several elements of ballet, Pilates, and yoga. Barre exercises rely mainly upon one's own bodyweight for resistance, and the moves will challenge your core stability and balance. Barre workouts are designed to help an individual achieve a "dancer's body" — strong, sleek, and toned.
One reason that barre classes are becoming so popular is that they provide results. With consistency, participants will physically see their bodies become slimmer and more toned. Although some barre workouts will have cardio elements, it is not designed to elevate your heart rate—they are specifically designed for muscle toning.
When you step into a barre studio you will typically find that the classroom is a large open space with mirrors and barres fixed to the wall surrounding the room. Some studios have bamboo or wood flooring while others have carpet. Like yoga and Pilates classes, you generally won't wear shoes or socks during a barre workout, but some people like to wear special "grippy" socks. Some props may be incorporated such as a ball, light hand weights, stretch bands, and/or yoga straps. Our classes run between 45mins and 60mins long.
At Prime Fitness, barre classes are multi-level and are appropriate for a variety of fitness levels and body sizes. Each exercise can be modified for ones personal level. Our instructors will provide the modifications needed for beginners, as well as for advanced progressions. There is no prior dance experience required to benefit from a barre program.
Our fitness center is offering a Barre class unlike any other. We have added our barre to the HOT YOGA studio and the classes will be in temps from 95 to 100 degrees F. Practicing barre class in a heated room increases your pulse rate and metabolism, allowing your blood vessels to become more flexible and making your body burn extra calories. It will build muscle tone and also improve the lymphatic system and flush out toxins.


French author and poet Jules Renard once said, "On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it."

Renewable energy accounts for one third of global power capacity
By Ilumen News solar panels Green energy, IRENA, photovoltaics, renawable energy, solar energy, solar modules 0 Comments
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the trend of strong growth in renewable energy capacity continued in 2018 with a worldwide increase of 171 gigawatts. Solar energy accounts for the most important part of the growth.
The annual increase of 7.9% was supported by new capacity for solar and wind energy, together accounting for 84% of the growth. A third of global power capacity now comes from renewable energy sources.
IRENA's annual Renewable Capacity Statistics 2019, the most comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible figures on renewable energy capacity, points to growth in all regions of the world. Although at different speeds. The fastest growth occurred in Oceania (17.7% increase in 2018), followed by Asia (11.4%) and Africa (8.4%). No less than two thirds of all additional power capacity in 2018 came from renewable energy sources, mainly in emerging and developing economies.
Yet there is still room for improvement. "The share of renewable energy still needs to grow faster to ensure that we can achieve global climate goals and sustainable development goals," says IRENA Director General Adnan Z. Amin. "Countries that fully exploit their renewable energy potential will be able to enjoy many socio-economic benefits, apart from making their economy low in carbon."
Largest growth thanks to solar power
The largest growth was realized by solar energy. Global capacity increased by more than 94 GW (+ 24%) in 2018, of which Asia accounted for no less than 64 GW. Other large increases were observed in the United States (+8.4 GW), Australia (+ 3.8 GW) and Germany (+3.6 GW). Other countries with significant expansions in 2018 were Brazil, Egypt, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and the Netherlands.
Worldwide, the total capacity for generating renewable energy reached a total figure of 2,491 GW at the end of 2018. Hydropower accounts for the largest share with an installed capacity of 1,172 GW. Wind and solar energy also account for a large share with a capacity of 564 GW and 480 GW respectively. Other renewable energy sources include 121 GW of bioenergy, 13 GW of geothermal energy and 500 MW of marine energy (tidal, wave and ocean energy).

Why do a large number of Vietnamese teen fans dream about meeting South Korean showbiz stars, listen to their songs all the time, hang their pictures on their walls, follow their stories and news, and attend their concerts no matter how much it costs?
After several teen fangirls of South Korea's Bing Bang boy group fainted during the 9-hour long Soundfest concert held at Phu Tho stadium on April 14, Tuoi Tre held a roundtable discussion on fan culture among local youths.
The discussion began with an idea from graduate student Pham Nguyen Bao Tram, who has received ironic comments after spending a large sum of money to buy a VIP ticket for the Soundfest concert.
"They do not really understand either the psychology of young people or the considerable efforts that South Korean music groups have made to gain success in their showbiz industry," Tram said after listing several reasons for why she has fallen in love with Big Bang.
In agreeing with Tram, Ngo Thi Thuy Van, claimed that she adores South Korean artists for their true talent.
"Their [South Korean singers] music touches the audience's hearts in a way that we hardly find in local showbiz," Van explained.
Meanwhile Tran Truong Tri, of Nguyen An Ninh high school in HCMC, said he loves Suju, a South Korean boyband, because they often bow to greet their fans at a 90-degree angle before and after their performances, something that just a few Vietnamese artists do.
Most young women in the discussion said they prefer South Korean artists to 'their colleagues' in Vietnam because South Koreans rarely cause scandals to grab public attention in order to gain fame as some Vietnamese artists have done.
After being a fan of Suju for three years, Thuy Van knows how to balance her study time and the time she spends with her idols. Although Van regularly attends fanclubs and updates stories and news about her idols, she still gets good academic results at school and has gained much confidence from her parents.
"If you overindulge in showing passions for your idols and neglect other things, no parents feel satisfied," Van said.
Tri also gives the highest priority in his life to studying at school. He does not spend as much time following Suju as other fans do.
At the Soundfest concert on April 14, Tram also went crazy as soon as she saw the five members of Big Bang. But she had trouble breathing after jostling with other fans to view their idols in person.
According to Hong, fan clubs or Internet forums are good places for fans to discuss an 'appropriate fan culture".
"You should be in full possession of your common sense when you idolize someone. You could either learn from them or leave them behind if you find them inappropriate in your life," Hong said.

Putting the horse before the carriage at The Royal Wedding
We can't get away from the fact it is the Royal Wedding this weekend. The occasion will come with all the pomp, tradition and ceremony as is expected of our nation. So naturally it will involve horses and carriages.
Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had selected the Ascot Landeau carriage for their procession after the wedding on May 19th. This is one of five open-topped carriages of this type, kept by the Royal Mews. The Landaus are used every year for The Queen's procession during the Royal Meeting at Ascot.
Assuming it is not raining, in which case the enclosed Scottish State Coach will be used, spectators should get a great view of the happy couple. Plus more importantly, a first glimpse of "the dress". The Crown Equerry Col. Toby Browne describes the Landeau carriage as a "wonderfully bright, small, lovely carriage, very easy for people to see. The passengers can sit up quite high. So there's lots of visibility for everybody."
The carriage will be pulled by four grey horses, known as the "Windsor Grey Horses", with a another two horses acting as "outriders". The planned horses for the carriage are called Sir Basil, Tyrone, Storm and Milford Haven and the two outriders will be Plymouth and Londonderry.
Windsor Grey horses play an important role in the ceremonial life of The Royal Family and indeed the nation. They have been drawing the carriages of successive Monarchs and Members of The Royal Family since Queen Victoria's Reign.
On the big day, the carriage carrying Prince Harry and Meghan will leave Windsor Castle via Castle Hill, continuing along the High Street and through Windsor Town, before returning to Windsor Castle via the Long Walk. The carriage will be escorted by several members of the Mounted Regiment of the Household Cavalry.

Royal Windsor Horse Show, 9-13th May 2018
With Prince Harry getting married and Zara Tindall and Kate Middleton expecting, the Royal family are giving us plenty to celebrate and feel patriotic about.
Another Royal occasion of note is the 75th edition of the Royal Windsor Horse Show, held in the private grounds of Windsor Castle from the 9th-13th of May this year. It is an event which Her Majesty, The Queen has attended every year since its creation, in 1943.
Today it has become a 5* show and holds the distinguished CHI status, making it one of the most important events in the equestrian calendar. Royal Windsor Horse Show is the only show in the UK to host international competitions in Show Jumping, Dressage, Driving and Endurance. In addition, there are 120 showing classes held over five days.
The riders love it too. Even Kent Farrington, current World No 1 Show Jumper said, "This is one of my favourite shows. There's a combination of an amazing setting, an unbelievable crowd, top course designing and great footing It's on par with the best in the world."
Royal Windsor was started as a fund raising event during World War II as part of "Wings for Victory Week", to raise money for Spitfire fighter planes. Over the 75 years the Show has maintained its objective to raise funds for charity. ABF, The Soldiers Charity is supported every year and an equestrian charity is chosen to support by the Committee annually. This year the equestrian charity is the Free Spirit Horse Memorial.
The original Show, which required competitors to hack to the Showground as there was no petrol to spare, was held on just one day. Since 1944 the Show has expanded dramatically in terms of length, spectator attendance and competitors. One of the first competitors was HM The Queen who successfully competed in the Single Private Driving Class driving Hans, a Norwegian Pony, to victory in 1944. Other members of the Royal family have also competed including HRH The Prince of Wales, HRH The Princess Royal, Zara Phillips, and most notably, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. It was the Duke who introduced international carriage driving to the Show in 1972, in which he also competed. He went on to win the Horse Teams class in 1982 with HM The Queen's team of Bays.
Such was its popularity with equestrians and the public alike, that Royal Windsor evolved into a major international event. Last year there were 3,300 entries, including many of the world's best riders, compared to 884 entries in 1950.
There will be some serious show jumping action up to CSI 5* level. This together with a large prize fund, is likely to entice the crème de la crème of the show jumping world. Held in the Castle Arena from Friday 11th – Sunday 13th of May, including a Saturday evening performance with the climax of it all- The Rolex Grand Prix will be taking place on the final day. World No.1 and last year's Grand Prix champion Kent Farrington, is hoping to return to defend his title.
The International Dressage is expected to attract some of the world's leading horse and rider combinations. The CDI4* Al Shira'aa Dressage Grand Prix and Freestyle to Music will take place on the evenings of Thursday 10th and Friday 11th of May respectively. Riders will have the unique opportunity to be judged by Susan Hoevenaars, one of the judges at the upcoming FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018, an unmissable chance for hopefuls heading to the Games this September.
The CAIO4* Land Rover International Driving Grand Prix, a FEI World Cup qualifier and one of the most important Driving events in the UK adds to the roster of top international competition at the Show. 2017 saw Boyd Exell score an impressive eighth victory at the Show, and the Australian is certain to be looking to retain his title as part of his FEI World Equestrian Games™ build-up.
The visually stunning Windsor Great Park will be the site of the international Endurance on Friday 11 May. A CEI2* event, supported by The Kingdom of Bahrain will negotiate 120km of the countryside of Windsor and Ascot.
A huge variety of Showing classes will also share the schedule with the FEI classes, with many of HM The Queen's horses regularly featuring in the starting line-ups, Royal Windsor Horse Show represents the height of the National Showing calendar. Competitors will be striving to follow in the footsteps of HM The Queen's Barbers Shop to be crowned Royal Windsor Supreme Showing Champion on the final day of the Show.
Spectators can also be entertained by an action-packed schedule of arena displays and other events. Beyond sport, there are 220 high-end shops in the shopping village offering fashion, equestrian and lifestyle goods. Plus a host of food options and watering holes, from artisan food and champagne bars to burgers and beer.

Q: Illiterate but for Speaking Is there a word like illiterate but for speaking? A word that just means something along the lines of "unable to speak properly".

A: The adjective "inarticulate" describes to a certain extent the problems of someone who can't manage to  combine ideas and words properly.

(OALD)
inarticulate (of speech) not using clear words; not expressed clearly

(Merriam-Webster)
inarticulate  incapable of giving coherent, clear, or effective expression to one's ideas or feelings

A: An addition near miss is nonverbal.

: lacking or appearing to lack the ability to engage in speech
She finds she can communicate with nonverbal children using drum beats, for example.
— Robert S. Greenberger
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nonverbal

But it depends on what you mean by opposite of illiterate. It has several different senses. I take it to refer somebody who can speak the language but can't read or write. Nonverbal carries no such connotation of being able to read and write.

A: I think nonfluency comes close to what you are looking for.

*

*lack of fluency

Auckland's pink Nelson Street Cycleway, designed by Monk Mackenzie architects and landscape architecture firm LandLab, has just been shortlisted for the World Architecture Awards.
"The 0.37-mile offramp turned bike path cuts through the surrounding asphalt like a pink ribbon, a bold and unconventional piece of urban infrastructure if there ever was one," writes Kristin Hohenadel.
He said that they wanted to pick a color that didn't connote a bus or typical bike lane.
"Mackenzie said that they approached the project as 'a citywide artwork'".

Everything you need to know to start using log4net quickly and effectively.
Sure, as a developer you have access to the source code, but without instrumentation your applications turn into silent black boxes in production. Logging is a simple way to let your application describe its health and operations in a way that is readily consumable by both you and software, and it can provide significant insight when working out bugs. Log4net is one of the most used logging libraries for the .NET platform, with a proven track record going back to 2001. This course is aimed at getting you up and running with log4net, starting with answering the common configuration questions and moving through the entire log4net stack. Included in the course are discussions of effective and advanced logging tactics, such as applying logging through common design patterns and Aspect-Oriented programming. In addition the course demonstrates how you can tap into the modular log4net architecture and extend it with your own code.
This module is about Log Event Context. If you recall from our brief discussion of the log4net architecture, we use logger objects to create logging events, and these logging events are automatically associated with different aspects, such as the current thread information, and the severity level of the logging event. This module is focusing on the properties that you can associate with a logging event and the context in which those properties exist. You can use these custom properties to automatically associate any data your program has access to, to every logging event it creates. For example, let's say every time our application logs an event, we'd also like to know the current CPU utilization of the application, the number of threads the application's created, and the ambient temperature of the room in which the server lives. These custom properties will be associated with a logging event as soon as the event is created. When the logging event reaches an appender and goes through the rendering process, the appender and its associated layout can access these custom property values and use them in the rendered log.
This module is about using log4net effectively. The modules up to this point in the course have been focused on the guts and internals of log4net. However, this course is focused on you and your code, and how you can effectively fold log4net into your application development. The concepts in this module will revolve around three logging mantras. These are things that I constantly remind myself whenever I'm working with log4net on a day-to-day basis. We'll go into more detail on each of these mantras, and how they apply to you as we go through this module, but just to whet your appetite, here they are. First, logging code is still code. The second mantra is that logging uses resources. And the third and final mantra is log now.
In this part of the course, we're going to look at Advanced Logging Tactics. These are strategies that I've learned to employ over the years to make logging a more robust and seamless experience. These tactics fall into three categories. First, we'll look at ways we can reduce the friction of working with a dated log4net API. Then we'll see how we can fold logging into. NET object patterns and design patterns. And finally, we'll see how we can apply logging with aspect-oriented programming using the PostSharp library.
In the final module for this course, we're going to look at ways that we can extend log4net. The log4net architecture allows it to be extended in five different ways. First, we'll see how we can create custom layouts, which will allow us to control log rendering in custom ways. In this module, we'll create a custom layout that formats log messages as JSON. You can also create log4net filters, which allows you to define custom filtering operations for your messages. In this module, we'll create a custom filter that can enable or disable logging for our website based on the query string. Custom appenders can be used to define proprietary ways to store your logs. For this module, we'll be creating a Custom appender that uses the Twilio API to send log messages as SMS text messages. Object renderers can be used to format specific types of objects inside of your logs. These are a lot like layouts, except instead of formatting an entire log message, object renderers are focused on specific types of objects that pass into your logs. Later in this module we'll create a custom object renderer that allows us to log the current web request in a very readable fashion. Finally, there are log4net plugins. Plugins are used to add custom initialization code when log4net is being initialized. For our demos, we'll create a custom plugin that will automatically register object renderers.

A lot comes with running an online store - like managing stocks, product SKUs, keeping the site running, and of course, attracting more customers and tracking sales. However, the online space is in a state of constant flux, with technologies, services and marketing strategies evolving every day.
This makes business more challenging for store owners who need the right information to make good decisions faster. Here is where e-commerce analytics come in handy.
With over a decade of expertise in analyzing optimizing and developing e-commerce websites for businesses across the UAE, Middle East and India, our e-commerce analytics specialists can make a difference to your bottom line.
Our team is proficient in all the major website analytics platforms like Google Analytics, Omniture, and Adobe Analyst and can help you make intelligent marketing decisions for your online business.
Whether you need to improve your platform's overall functioning or your site user experience, the analytics experts at GMI can integrate and customize the right analytics system to any metric you wish - including site traffic, top landing pages, social media performance, SEO performance, paid search ROI, and much more.
Unlike an online store, a physical store gives you the ability to observe and interact with your customers first-hand. A significant consequence of this blind spot is that you will not know which marketing activities are working and which are unprofitable - leading to wastage of time, money and resources.
This information enables you to understand which marketing channels are the most valuable and pool your resources. All of this can be achieved by just adding a small bit of code to your website.
Ecommerce analytics solves this problem by helping you "see" customers and gather information on their purchase patterns.
E-commerce analytics is an add-on for traditional web analytics, and it includes all of the data provided by the standard analytics script.
Contact our experts, and we will help you set up e-commerce analytics for your website.
Ecommerce analytics tracking provides more details about the total number of completed transactions and their total revenue. It also provides critical insights into consumer behaviour in real time at each stage of the funnel, from landing page to checkout. This data is necessary for creating a better shopping experience for your users.
You can track sales performance by date, product, category and brand, and the revenue earned by each product, category and brand. Ecommerce analytics also provide data about the total number of visits to each transaction page and details about unfinished purchases, as well as the quantity of products and unique products sold.
Data on consumer trends and shifts in behaviour gives you insights into your market; helps you pinpoint which marketing channels are no longer profitable; and enables you to develop new product lines, introduce changes in pricing, and phase out underperforming items that could potentially harm your profits. Take advantage of e-commerce analytics.


CONTRERAS, VÍCTOR T et al. Early and late molecular and morphologic changes that occur during the in vitro transformation of Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes to amastigotes. Biol. Res. [online]. 2002, vol.35, n.1, pp.47-58. ISSN 0716-9760. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-97602002000100008.
The amastigogenesis primary of T. cruzi occurs naturally when metacyclic trypomastigotes transform into amastigotes within the cells of the mammalian host. The in vitro study of the macromolecular changes that occur over several days during the transformation process should provide significant indications of how the parasite adapts to the mammalian host environment. We show here that metacyclic trypomastigotes pre-incubated at 37° C in a protein-rich medium reach a high degree of transformation to amastigotes when re-incubated in the fresh medium. Giemsa-stained smears show that during the pre-incubation phase, the metacyclic trypomastigotes undergo lengthening at the posterior end and a thinning out of the entire body. SDS-PAGE analysis of polypeptides and glycopeptides or Western blot with stage-specific antisera analyses indicate that the in vitro primary amastigogenesis is associated with abrupt changes in protein, glycoprotein, and stage-specific antigens that occur simultaneously during the first 24 hours of pre-incubation. Since the differentiating system consists of a rich media at 37° C, temperature and medium constitution must trigger a macromolecular differentiation to amastigotes that precedes the morphological transformation by several days. This transformation is associated with the rearrangement of stage-specific antigens and takes place when the culture medium is changed.
Keywords : Amastigogenesis; differentiation; macromolecular changes; metacyclic trypomastigotes; Trypanosoma cruzi.


I know I'm only three posts in and I'm well aware that it will take some time before my blog becomes structured and I develop a comfortable way to write. I'm still thinking up ideas about how I'd like my blog to run in the future, what kind of posts I'd like to, even what kind of writing style I'll settle in to. Do I want to be formal, giving detailed reviews and swatches? Do I want to be laid back, writing the same way as I think? And if that is the case, how much personality can I inject before it becomes too much.. Is it okay to say 'lol'? If something is incredibly awesome can I *gasp* swear in excitement? And lastly, how much of myself do I want to include in this blog. Sharing little insights in to my personal life is okay, but too much and I might only have myself to blame if I develop stalkers down the line.
Anyway, the whole point of that little paragraph is that whilst I'm learning and growing in this vast interweb of blogs, I'd like to have a little bit of structure already. And so I introduce to you lovely people.. One pound polish Wednesdays! As I already confessed, I am a total bargain buyer. So a large variety of my polish collection has only cost me.. you guessed it, £1 per bottle. So every Wednesday I'll be reviewing and swatching various £1 polishes, because I promise you can pick up some amazing bargains!


Mature hair needs extra tender care, so I formulated a shampoo bar with rich conditioners, vitamins, and protecting oils. This shampoo bar has vitamin E-saturated wheat germ, avocado and jojoba oils, moisture packed unrefined organic cocoa butter and almond oil, and is enriched with pro-vitamin B. Everything grey hair needs. We've also added a warm herbal essential oil blend of clary sage, rosemary, lavender, patchouli, and frankincense all of which have benefits for gray hair. These specific essential oils have been shown to help darken hair over time, prevent baldness, strengthen hair follicles, and are powerful antioxidants that fight off free radicals which in turn slows the graying process.
Don't have grey hair? This bar is just plain awesome for anyone with dry, fragile hair, regardless of color. Lather up and LOVE.
Ingredients: saponified oils of organic coconut, organic sunflower, organic sustainable palm, castor bean, unrefined organic cocoa butter, wheat germ, avocado and organic jojoba, pro-vitamin B, vitamin E oil, rosemary oil extract, and essential oils of organic rosemary, lavender, clary sage, frankincense, and patchouli.
If you have mature skin and hair that needs extra moisturizing, you may also enjoy our Simply Shea shampoo bar, Marshmallow and Aloe shampoo bar, or Wheat and Honey Almond shampoo bar.
makes my hair squeaky clean-gives it body and a nice sheen. I am new to shampoo bars but am quite pleased!
Just took 10 years off my hair!
I used another brand of shampoo bar for 18+ years. As more grey appeared, my hair seemed to become more and more unmanageable and frizzy. Your gray hair bar has made my hair soft, shiny and manageable. Thank you!
Really great shampoo bar! Hair feel soft, clean and manageable. So happy I found this company.
Smells fabulous and leaves my hair soft and manageable!
I've had some success with previous shampoo bars but they often left my hair feeling weighed down. This bar smells so so good and leaves my hair soft and manageable. I'm hooked. I love it and highly recommend it!
This is one of my favorite shampoo bars. My hair is about 30% white. It has that wirey unruly white hair. The rest of my hair is medium brown and even though I am 40 I still have an oily scalp of a teenager. I have to wash my hair everyday with regular shampoo. With this bar my hair is soft. I get great body and volume which is amazing since my hair is also very fine! And my hair is shiny and my white hair is tamed. I really love this. I can also go two days before my hair looks like a grease pit whereas before by the end of the day my hair was oily!
Have spent the last year letting my bottled color grow out. Also stopped using commercially made, heavily laden with chemicals hair products. In my trials and errors I found Apple Valley Soaps. After using the Grey Hair Bar for a couple of weeks now I am loving it. The lather is great, smells yummy and my hair/scalp feels fantastic. Will be sharing my success of finding a great product with friends and family. Thank you.
Lather is good, moisture is good smell is great.
When my husband mentioned my hair looked like it needed to be cut and it had been quite recently I knew I needed to do something. Grey Hair Shampoo Bar was the answer. My hair is silky and hydrated. The texture is so much nicer. Highly recommend this bar for anyone that has grey hair.
The Grey Hair Shampoo Bar is wonderful. My hair is softer and much more manageable. Will be recommending this to my "Grey Haired" friends!
My hair is starting to turn gray. I have tried other shampoo bars, but the Grey Hair Care bar is terrific. My hair is very fine and not real thick. This shampoo bar makes my hair feel so clean and it is soft and manageable.

Q: CSS Transition is not triggering after insertBefore I am trying to create an horizontal carousel that loops.
You can check the code here: https://codepen.io/nobitta/pen/xNOyrj
At the moment I am stuck. I managed to make it work, however the CSS transition that mimics the movement to the right, is not triggering when you click "next".
I already did some research and some say this has to do with browsers optimization and that setting a timeout or calling offsetWidth or getBoundingRect() should do the trick, as it forces the browser to re-render. However, even with those tips, I was not able to make it work...
Am I doing something wrong or missing something here? What should I do?
Thanks in advance ~

A: I managed to fix it by playing around with the margin-left property.
My bet is that when I prepended the last slider's item, it naturally shifted right due to the new element's size and the space it occupies. Therefore I decided to shift it back to mask the insertion shift. I followed the same reasoning for the appended items.
You can check the codepen in the question for more detail.
I hope this helps someone.

Q: How do I blink/control Macbook keyboard LEDs programmatically? Do you know how I can switch on/off (blink) Macbook keyboard led (caps lock,numlock) under Mac OS X (preferably Tiger)?
I've googled for this, but have got no results, so I am asking for help.
I would like to add this feature as notifications (eg. new message received on Adium, new mail received).
I would prefer applescript, python, but if it's impossible, any code would be just fine.
I will appreciate any kind of guidance.

Smart homes utilize top innovations such as advanced lighting elements and security systems to bring comfort and convenience to your living experience. As smart houses become more popular and the technological advances are more widely used, owning a smart home has its advantages. Nevertheless, many factors still keep homeowners hesitant about purchasing a smart home.
Smart technology for smart homes.
Installing state-of-the-art features inside a home results in a higher price tag for the property. The cost of an intelligent home that makes our lives convenient is high because some of the technology is relatively new. In new smart homes, wireless cameras and light sensors, a central touchscreen and automated systems are just a few advances that are standard in a new home. The cost of living expenses such as utilities, maintenance and repair of the technology can be expensive as well.
Owning a smart home means having to learn how to use your home. Unlike traditional homes, smart home technology requires you to adapt to the innovations within your living area such as security systems, air units and a remote that controls your entire house. For the technology-savvy family, the smart home will help achieve convenience faster, but for others, it will take reading manuals and learning how-to before the benefits of convenience pay off.
Video surveillance can be a wonderful tool in heightening security and deterring crime, but when the technology falls into the wrong hands, issues of privacy can occur. Security sensors within the doors and walls of a smart home use wireless technology to transfer signals to a central control unit that notifies emergency officials of any foreign activity. Video surveillance feeds are also transferred wirelessly to a part of the home that can be monitored. If the security feeds from the video and sensor fall into the wrong hands, your smart home could be monitored by those who have managed to hack it.
