Gilgamesh may have been an actual king of early Sumeria, but his deeds have been cast in such heroic proportions that some argue that he is simply a mythic figure. Nevertheless, certain corroborating references from the early third millennium B.C. seem to confirm his existence. The Sumerian stories about Gilgamesh and the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh are the oldest recorded stories in human history.

Container gardening is one of the big garden trends for 2018.
Two big populations — millennials and retirees — are more frequently living in smaller spaces. Growers are keeping up with this trend by hybridizing favorite varieties into dwarfs, meaning that they're saving everything you love about these flowers, but breeding them to be much shorter. Some of our favorites are Compact Lavender, Dwarf Cosmos, and Dwarf Pampas Grass. If there's a plant that you love, chances are you can find a dwarf variety of it!
Even for those with larger gardens to tend to, containers are an increasingly-popular way to dress up porches, patios, window boxes and entryways - or to create a low-commitment color combination that be changed up from year to year (or even from season to season). We're excited to see what unique and fun container gardens come to life in 2018.
With more and more of the population living in small spaces, this means closer quarters - and with that arrangement comes more noise. Dense plantings not only offer a sound buffer for those who crave peace and quiet in their lives, but plants can also function as a 'Do Not Disturb' sign of sorts. When you're not visible to your neighbors, they're less likely to start an unwanted conversation.
Many aren't just planting for privacy in their outdoor spaces, but are also strategically planting vines and thorny bushes to help with home security. These 'defensive plantings' work in two key ways: 1) they fill spaces and block access underneath windows and other vulnerable entry points and 2) they provide privacy for windows that face the street, making it difficult to see inside.
Whether you're participating in citizen science projects or planting pollinator-friendly varieties like Zinnia, 2018 is the year to grow for wildlife!
We see this shift as just the start of how gardening will evolve in the future; people will grow more out of necessity and to help make the world around them the best that it can be. What trends are you most excited about in 2018? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

Local Art in the LAST BOOKSTORE – Meet Jena Priebe from FOLD Gallery in Downtown LA
If you come to the most iconic bookstores in LA, and possible one of the most unique bookstores in the world – the LAST BOOKSTORE, you will likely see Jena Priebe's alluring giant freestanding paper sculptures and mobiles. Jena Priebe is a remarkable artist and the person behind the FOLD gallery that promotes local L.A. based artists.
– Jena, please tell a few words about yourself.
Hi! My name is Jena, I am an artist & gallery owner. I've been creating art professionally since 2003. I moved into my art studio in The Spring Arts Gallery in 2007. Since starting my tenure downtown Los Angeles in The Spring Arts Tower, I've had the fortunate experience of showing at Burning Man, MASS MoCA, The Maloof Foundation and local Los Angeles galleries. Several Los Angeles libraries are hosting permanent installations of my creation as well as The Last Bookstore.
– Why did you decide to celebrate the local Los Angeles artists and artisans?
I grew up in a rural part of the Midwest where community is everything.
It's really important to me to support my neighbors. With nearly unlimited talent in Los Angeles to represent at FOLD it was a no-brainer to support local Artists and Artisans.
I just love the energy, work ethic and creativity of my fellow Angelenos, it's truly inspiring. It never ceases to amaze me just how dedicated and hard-working they are.
– When did you start the FOLD Gallery?
FOLD Gallery was opened in 2012. The artists in the building have always had the fortunate support of building owner, Paul Su. Shortly before The Last Bookstore opened the doors of The Labyrinth, Paul came to a hand full of resident artists that had been in the building some time and asked us if we would like to move our studios to the mezzanine of the building. We all thought it was a fantastic idea, forming The Spring Arts Collective.
Initially, the studio space was just for my artwork but not long after moving in, I realized that the public aspect of the space was ideal to show other artists as well.
– Why did you choose to be located in Downtown Los Angeles?
I chose The Spring Arts Tower to have my studio and gallery in because of the buildings unwavering support of local artists and it truly feels like downtown Los Angeles is the epicenter of the LA Art scene.
– What do you love about Downtown Los Angeles?
I love the surprising sense of community here. It's a pretty tight knit group of community members, gallerists and artists. You feel supported by each other and people really care about you and what you're up to.
– A Downtown place/ places or people you would love to recommend if any.
I have something special I do when I really need to think called my "Zen Tour". I stop by the Grand Central Market and grab a bite to eat, then i'll take the mini tram, Angels Flight up to where MOCA is located. I take a little gallery tour there and then walk over to Disney Hall to write a little at the Blue Ribbon Garden. It's magical and not an expensive day either.
Other awesome places to visit is The Broad Museum (hello, its free!), The Last Bookstore for stunning art and a rad book experience, Nickel Diner for breakfast, Cole's for Happy Hour, The Little Easy for some Cajun food and The Down and Out for some dive bar action.

How can CIOs improve their office technology?
As modern technology has improved and businesses have become capable of completing business tasks more quickly and effectively than ever, chief information officers have become much more involved in the day-to-day operations of their businesses. No longer are CIOs simply expected to set up new computers and help employees with troubleshooting tasks – their roles have moved far beyond that preliminary stage, and they're expected to bring clear visions for how technology can transform their companies.
With the rise of big data in the business world today, the possibilities are beginning to crystallize. Companies now have the ability to collect massive amounts of information, not only about their own customers but also about competing businesses and the greater economic factors that affect them. Using that information, they can make better decisions about their futures.
According to The Guardian, the market for big data has grown tremendously in recent years. The news source recently reported the results of a study from International Data Corporation finding that the data market is in the midst of growing from $3.2 billion in total value in 2010 to $16.9 billion by 2015. As countless businesses realize how effective data can be for improving their operations, demand is increasing, and so too are prices.
With all this growth in big data, though, comes a need for improved office technology. How will companies store all the information they're collecting? How will they secure it? What will they do with it? Savvy CIOs are full of good ideas, but they need more resources to follow through on them.
CIOs have many reasons for turning to cloud computing services – cost and ease of use are two major ones. Another reason is that cloud solutions tend to be scalable, meaning companies can spend the exact amount required to purchase the amount of space they need.
Companies' needs for cloud storage change when their stockpiles of data become greater or smaller. If a CIO makes the move to mine or purchase a new cluster of information, the company may need more cloud space, but conversely, if a business decides to purge info that's outdated and useless, more space might be a possibility. In either event, scalable storage space is an innovation that helps CIOs manage their companies' data in the most cost-effective way possible.
The other interesting development in cloud computing is the dichotomy between public cloud solutions and private ones. Public clouds are affordable, easy to use and tend to expedite the sharing of information among corporate employees. Private clouds lack these benefits relative to public ones, but they make up for their deficiencies with added security.
Which is better? Thanks to the advent of the hybrid cloud, companies no longer have to choose. Sleek, adaptable cloud solutions help businesses put classified information into private storage spaces while also making public information more readily available. It's the best of both worlds.
As data becomes more prominent in the business world, companies must show a willingness to invest in analytical tools that will help them crunch numbers and find meaningful conclusions. Dan Vesset, vice president of business analytics solutions at IDC, said in a recent news release that this is a work in progress.
Data is more prominent than ever, but with that growth becomes a burden for modern CIOs. Technology must evolve to meet the changing demands of business.


Capable of spreading diseases, such as Lyme Disease-symptoms include: lameness, swollen joints, fever, poor appetite, fatigue and vomiting. In large numbers, a tick attack can result in paralysis or even death for small or elderly animals.
Minimal to none. Ticks do not infest homes, but they do carry dangerous diseases and are harder to find.
There are various species of ticks that are distinct by their color, but most ticks feed on blood. Often, ticks can be found near lush, wooded areas, where some species will perch on tall blades of grass or plants waiting to latch onto a passing host. Some species stalk from ground level, emerging from cracks and crevices in the woods or even inside a home or kennel. These ground based ticks can attack in numbers up to 3,000 at a time. These large attacks can result in various diseases, paralysis and even death for animals, especially elderly dogs and puppies.
Adult ticks are typically visible with the naked eye and are slightly smaller than a sunflower seed.
When engorged with blood, adult ticks can be 1/8- to 5/8-inch long.
Ticks cling to one spot on a host and do not move for several hours or days, while they slowly engorge themselves with blood.
Ticks can neither jump nor fly, they usually crawl to the top of tall grass and fall onto an unsuspecting host passing by.
Ticks are common in the summer, when humid and high temperatures dominate the landscape. They typically perch on top of tall grasses and shrubs.

Арслан-хан Мухаммад — правитель з династії Караханідів (1102—1130). Відомий також як Ахмад II Арслан-хан.

Біографія
Походив з алідської гілки династії Караханідів. В 1102 році сельджукид Ахмад Санджар, завдавши поразки біля Термезу Джабраїлу Кадир-хану, заволодів Мавераннахром і поставив на трон в Самарканді Арслан-хана Мухаммада, чий батько, Сулайман Давуд, був одружений на дочці сельджукида Малік-шаха.

Мухаммад царював понад чверть століття. За словами Раванді і Хусейні, він постійно вів боротьбу з невірними і завоював землі кочівників, які були на відстані від його столиці за 2 місяці шляху. За припущенням В. В. Бартольда, військові кампанії Мухаммада відбувалися, «ймовірно, проти кипчаків», але також відомо, що деякі з них були і в інших напрямках. Йому вдалося приєднати до Західного каганату якщо не все, то принаймні велику частину володінь східних Караханідів.

Ймовірно, деякі успіхи Арслан-хана були тимчасовими, але у всякому разі він міцно укріпився в Ферганої.

Він був відомий своєю містобудівною діяльністю: його правлінням датується спорудження Великого бухарського мінарету і спробою відновлення . Перед своєю кончиною Арслан-хан призначив наступником свого сина Насра, але його вбили в результаті змови. У спробі впоратися зі смутою Арслан-хан звернувся по допомогу до Ахмада Санджара, але той, замість того, щоб допомогти, сам завоював Мавераннахр. З обложеного Самарканду Арслан-хан був винесений на носилках і незабаром помер. Новим каганом став інший син Ахмад.

Уми́н () — район городского подчинения городского округа Наньнин Гуанси-Чжуанского автономного района (КНР).

История
До X века эти земли в состав разных уездов, которые постепенно один за другим были присоединены к уезду Уюань (武缘县). После Синьхайской революции уезд Уюань был в 1912 году переименован в Умин (武鸣县).

После образования КНР в 1949 году был создан Специальный район Умин (武鸣专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. Уже в 1950 году Специальный район Умин был расформирован, и уезд перешёл в состав Специального района Наньнин (南宁专区). В 1951 году Специальный район Наньнин тоже был расформирован, и уезд перешёл в состав Специального района Биньян (宾阳专区). В декабре 1952 года в провинции Гуанси был создан Гуйси-Чжуанский автономный район (桂西壮族自治区), а в 1953 году Специальные районы Биньян и Чунцзо были объединены в Специальный район Юннин (邕宁专区) Гуйси-Чжуанского автономного района. В 1956 году Гуйси-Чжуанский автономный район был переименован в Гуйси-Чжуанский автономный округ (桂西僮族自治州). В 1958 году автономный округ был упразднён, а вся провинция Гуанси была преобразована в Гуанси-Чжуанский автономный район. Специальный район Юннин был в 1958 году расформирован, и был опять создан Специальный район Наньнин.

В декабре 1958 года уезды Умин и Лунъань были объединены в уезд Улун (武隆县), но уже в мае 1959 года были воссозданы в прежних границах.

В 1971 году Специальный район Наньнин был переименован в Округ Наньнин (南宁地区).

Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 8 октября 1983 года уезд Умин был передан из состава округа Наньнин под юрисдикцию властей города Наньнин.

Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 16 февраля 2015 года уезд Умин был преобразован в район городского подчинения.

Административное деление
Район делится на 13 посёлков.

Home Others General Awareness WhatsApp Data Leak Issue
WhatsApp Data Leak Issue
Indrajeet Singh
California-based WhatsApp said on Jan. 4 it reserved the right to share some data including location and phone number with Facebook and its units such as Instagram and Messenger.
That triggered outrage, including in its biggest market India where it has 400 million users.
In India, many users have begun installing rival apps like Signal and Telegram, pushing WhatsApp to begin a costly advertising campaign to calm customers.WhatsApp has given users a Feb. 8 deadline to agree to the new terms.
Amid continuing concerns over its new privacy policy released a few days ago, WhatsApp on Tuesday had to clarify yet again that the policy changes nothing for those messaging friends and
family. It also clarified that in some conditions, business messages — "different than messaging with your family or friends" — can be read by Facebook and could be used for marketing purposes.
🔴Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can "see your private messages or hear your calls". Personal
messages are protected by end-to-end encryption and will continue to be so.
🔴WhatsApp does not keep logs of who anyone is messaging or calling because it considers a
data dump of this kinda "privacy and security risk".
🔴WhatsApp cannot see a location you have shared with a friend as that too is
protected by end-to-end encryption.
🔴WhatsApp does not share a user's contacts with Facebook, or any other app.
🔴No data from groups will be shared with Facebook for ad purposes and all the communication
within is end-to-end encrypted. So, if you are a member of an office, RWA, or school group,there is nothing to worry about as nothing changes for you.
How are business messages different?
The interplay between WhatsApp and Facebook, its parent company, becomes more visible when it comes to messages to business, where the new privacy changes have been applied.
WhatsApp has clarified that some "large businesses" might need to use "secure hosting services from Facebook to manage WhatsApp chats with their customers, answer questions, and send helpful information like purchase receipts". And "whether you communicate with a business by phone, email, or WhatsApp, it can see what you're saying and may use that information for its own marketing purposes, which may include advertising on Facebook". But, WhatsApp says it will "clearly label conversations with businesses that are choosing to use hosting services from Facebook".
These labels are already visible when you are communicating with a business, and users will
now need to decide whether they want to be in a conversation, the details of which could be used
to show them targeted ads. Using the Shops features on WhatsApp could also open up your
preferences for targeted ads on other Facebook products such as Instagram. So clearly, business messaging, which WhatsApp has been gradually activating across many markets, will ultimately result in advertisements based on preferences you have shown to the business.
If you use WhatsApp for a business and have a list of clients, the business on the other side too will see the conversation and know your preferences. This could be used to show you ads on
Facebook platforms. If you are a business owner, you could use some of the insights to run ads targeting your customers on Facebook and other services.
What changes for you in these scenarios?
IF YOU ARE ON FACEBOOK: Nothing changes when it comes to personal chats. However, if you are engaged in conversations with a business, you might start seeing related ads on Facebook and other company products such as Instagram.
… OR IF YOU ARE NOT: Nothing changes for you as a WhatsApp user, as you cannot be shown ads on Facebook.
IF YOU HAVE A LARGE FOLLOWING: WhatsApp remains a secure platform for all your personal conversations with individuals and groups. However, it might be a good idea to be
cautious while using the business features as many people could have access to your preferences.
… OR IF YOU DO NOT: Your regular WhatsApp conversations remain safe and end-to-end encrypted.
Which countries have a different policy?
While there is data sharing with Facebook even in the European Union, users there get more control. That's because the EU has a different privacy policy on any software product compared
to the rest of the world. EU's General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the strictest in the world and ensures that consumers have the full rights to their data and how that data is processed, and can even demand erasure of
information. According to WhatsApp's own policy for the EU, consumers have "the right to access, rectify, port,
and erase your information, as well as the right to restrict and object to certain processing of your
While the WhatsApp privacy policy in the EU also talks about data sharing with Facebook, consumers there get a special setting called "Managing and Retaining Your Information", with
which they can rectify, update or erase information that the platform controls. This option is not available elsewhere. Consumers in the EU can even withdraw their consent to WhatsApp for processing of data, thanks to GDPR.
Interestingly, after the EU antitrust authorities in 2017 fined Facebook 110 million euros for misleading regulators during a 2014 review of the WhatsApp takeover, the social network had
told these regulators it technically wasn't possible to combine WhatsApp data with its other services.
So, why doesn't India get such a setting with extensive controls?
India lacks a regulatory authority. Until the Personal Data Protection Bill becomes law, it will be hard to police tech companies on how user data should be processed.
WhatsApp's new privacy policy applies to every country, including the US, and users will have to accept the terms and conditions to continue using the service.
How does one read the update in the context of the regulatory scrutiny Facebook faces in the US
and EU?
The regulatory heat makes the timing of this update interesting. In the US, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a lawsuit against Facebook over antitrust, anti-competitive policies.
It has also put Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram under the scanner.
These two apps have helped Facebook dominate the social media and messaging space in the last five years. If the FTC wins its cases, it wants Facebook to sell off both WhatsApp and Instagram, which could prove disastrous for the company.
Further, it would mean that Zuckerberg's vision of interoperability among other apps in the bouquet would come to an end. In his scheme of things, a WhatsApp user should be able to
message someone on Messenger, even if they don't use that app. This interoperability will be limited to Facebook's own set of products.
The EU is also investigating Facebook over claims that it trampled competition with the help of the vast troves of user data. The company has resisted EU's demands for several documents and
filed a lawsuit against this last year as well. Supreme Court issues notices to Facebook, WhatsApp over new privacy policy
The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices and sought responses from WhatsApp, Facebook, and the central government in a matter concerning the instant messaging app's new privacy policy.
Referring to Facebook and the messaging platform owned by it, a bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, and Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian said they may be $2-3 trillion companies, but people value their privacy more than money and that it is the court's duty to protect user privacy.
The government, which had written to WhatsApp last month to withdraw the proposed changes to its privacy rules and had sought clarifications on a set of queries from it, told the court that the companies can't share data of users which must be protected.
WhatsApp and Facebook did not respond to emails seeking comment on the new privacy policy and the company's response to queries raised by the government. Following a user uproar, WhatsApp said on January 15 that it was moving back the
date on which people will be asked to review and accept the terms. The previous deadline was February 8.

Apples To Apples? Not Really. iPhone 6s Launch Sales Break 'Records'
Jospeh Palenchar ⋅ Published: September 28, 2015
Apple touted record iPhone 6s and 6s Plus sales of more than 13 million in the first three days after launch, beating last year's launch sales of 10 million, but the company didn't go out of its way to point out that this year's launch included China for the first time.
With the addition of Chia and New Zealand, this year's launch included 12 markets, up from last year's 10. The other 10 markets are the the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, France, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Puerto Rico.
BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk said the inclusion of China more than doubled the addressable market compared with last year, when China did not launch until mid-October. iPhone first-weekend sales have climbed every year since the iPhone 3G was announced, he noted.
For its part, IHS also expected sales would do better this year in the first three days of availability and also expects Apple will ship 236 million iPhones this year, up 22 percent compared to 2014.
Next year could be different, however.
"Next year is the big one for Apple," said analyst Ian Fogg. "In 2016, Apple will have to sustain iPhone 6S sales throughout the year in a mature smartphone market, and it must find a way to redesign the iPhone look radically to continue to drive upgrades." This "will be a greater challenge than achieving success in 2015 where Apple has benefited from the straightforward switch to offering larger screen iPhones."
The two new phones will be available in more than 40 more countries beginning Oct. 9 and in more than 130 countries by the end of the year.
"Sales for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have been phenomenal, blowing past any previous first weekend sales results in Apple's history," said Apple CEO Tim Cook.

China Radio International (CRI) is the state-owned international radio broadcaster of China. It is currently headquartered in the Babaoshan area of Beijing's Shijingshan District. It was founded on December 3, 1941, as Radio Peking. It later adopted the pinyin form Radio Beijing.

CRI states that it "endeavours to promote favourable relations between the PRC and the world" while upholding the PRC's official positions. As with other nations' external broadcasters such as Voice of America, BBC World Service and Radio Australia, CRI claims to "play a significant role in the PRC's soft power strategy" and Go Out policy, aiming to expand the influence of Chinese culture and media in a global stage. CRI attempts to employ new media to compete with other international media. Unlike other broadcasters, CRI's control via indirect majority ownership or financial support of radio stations in various nations is not publicly disclosed.

CRI is presently the international radio arm of the China Media Group, under the control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party, created following the first session of the 13th National People's Congress in March 2018.

In February 2020, the United States Department of State designed CRI and other Chinese state-owned media outlets as foreign missions.

History

Radio was first introduced in China in the 1920s and 1930s. However, few households had radio receivers. A few cities had commercial stations. Most usage of radio was for political purpose, frequently on a local area level.

The Chinese Communist Party first used radio in Yanan Shaanxi Province in March 1940 with a transmitter imported from Moscow. Xinhua New Chinese Radio (XNCR) went on the air from Yanan on December 30, 1940. XNCR transmitted to a larger geographical area after 1945, and its programs became more regular and formalised with broadcasts of news, official announcements, war bulletins, and art and literary programs.

The English service started on September 11, 1947, transmitting as XNCR from a cave in Shahe in the Taihang Mountains, when China was in the midst of a civil war, to announce newly conquered areas and broadcast a Chinese political and cultural perspective to the world at large. The station moved from the Taihang Mountains to the capital, Peking, when The People's Republic of China was formed in 1949. Its name was changed to Radio Peking on April 10, 1950, and to Radio Beijing in 1983. On January 1, 1993, the name of the station was again changed, this time to China Radio International, in order to avoid any confusion with local Beijing radio broadcasting. Its online broadcasting platform: China International Broadcasting Network (CIBN) was formally established in 2011, as a joint venture of China Radio International, Huawen Media Investment, JinZhengYuan, Youku, Oriental Times Media and Suning Holdings Group.

Programming

Mandarin radio channels

At the beginning of 1984, it started to broadcast home service to the Beijing area on AM and FM frequencies. The service later expanded to dozens of major cities across the PRC, providing listeners inside the PRC with timely news and reports, music, weather, English and Chinese learning skills, as well as other services.

CRI News Radio (90.5 FM)

CRI News Radio (CRI环球资讯广播) was established on 28 September 2005, which takes advantage of CRI's journalists from all around the world and reports international (and partially domestic) news, sport, entertainment and lifestyle programmes for domestic listeners in Mandarin Chinese. Its aim is to make CRI News Radio a first-class national news radio brand and its slogans are 'First News, News First', 'On-the-Spot China, Live World' etc.
CRI News Radio can be heard online and in Beijing on the radio on 90.5 FM; in Tianjin 90.6 FM; in Chongqing 91.7 FM; in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau 107.1 FM; in Shandong 89.8 FM; in Anhui 90.1 FM.

Popular Shows

 New Wealth Times (), a financial talk show

Chinese podcasts
The following programmes can be heard on the Mandarin version of the podcast from the World Radio Network:

Holiday Broadcasts

During major Chinese holidays (dubbed Golden Week), such as Chinese New Year, May Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival, China Radio International typically broadcasts special programmes such as:
 Growing Up In China (during the May Day holiday)

Most of these programmes are not typical of the broadcast during the other parts of the year. The analogy is similar to Christmas music broadcasts in the United States.

Olympic Radio
In July 2006, CRI launched a new radio station called CRI Olympic Radio at 900 AM in Beijing. This special broadcast was done in Mandarin, Korean, English, Russian, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese and German 24 hours a day. This service was terminated in late 2008 after the Beijing Olympics and now the frequency 900 AM is occupied by CRI News Radio which only covers Beijing.

Worker Safety Net
People can't easily train for their career when they're struggling to meet basic needs like food, housing, medical care, and child care. Instead of forcing people to take low-wage jobs, our nation's safety net programs should support millions of people who want to train for a quality career but need support along the way. Realizing the potential of our safety net requires pushing back on efforts to dismantle it, while expanding opportunities for training that leads to good jobs.
Growing a safety net that supports workers and their careers
In order to transform our safety net from a punitive system to an empowering one, we must protect and expand investments in programs like SNAP Employment & Training, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and others, while pushing back on state and federal efforts to expand work requirements that force people receiving public benefits into low-wage jobs and restrict access to education and training.
NSC is fighting to protect safety net programs and to expand workers' access to them as they train for a good job or take the next step in their career.

I don't have kids at home anymore, but I have a lot of grands (13 of them!) who are going back to school, from grades 4 to University! This layout uses Peacock and Saffron cardstock, a sheet of the Fundamentals Enchantment paper, and vellum from the Fundamentals Uptown paper. I also used the School 7 - 12 Complements and a sliver of gold from the Fundamental Assortment Gold for the ferrule on the pencil. I just cut a tiny piece from between the dots on the gold sheet and then carefully cut it to size. I coloured the pencil with our alcohol markers first. The title also comes from the School 7 - 12 Complements. I wasn't sure about the purple lettering, but it really adds something. I also added some of the new gold ribbon from the Uptown Ribbon pack.
That's it for me this month. Next up is Corrina with another awesome Back to School project.
If you have seen anything here that you would like more information about, please contact your local Close to my Heart consultant.
Come join us next month when our theme will be - what else? - Halloween! See you then!

Watch Repair Course Part Numbers?
The name of the part and what it looks like are more important as those part numbers are only relevant for Swiss Ebauches movments. If you work on Seikos for example those numbers don't mean anything. Most modern watches you can download technical sheets on that will give you the part numbers.
Welcome from Perth Western Australia. I'm looking forward to your posts on polishing and finishing.
Thats an interesting little clock, let us all know how you get on with it.
Zinc or Tin Plate for Black Polishing?
Thanks, I was thinking around 100mm, but its always good to get confirmation. A silicon mould would concern me to use as its max temp is only 30C above the max use temp of tin, but I guess if you are careful it could be ok.
Thanks, I plan on buying pure tin from a foundry in Queensland that sells it in small amounts to hobbyists for reasonable prices so don't need to worry about the purity. With Zinc I would of had to gone done the path of green sand casting, but with tin I should be able to just get away making the mould with just getting some hardwood and using a hole saw drill a hole through the wood and clamp it onto another bit of wood. Yes the wood will likely smoulder a bit, but that doesn't matter for a one off use mould. What diameter are your plates?
I'm looking at having a go of the dark art of black polishing, in particular I want to learn it for restoring old pocket watches for parts that have suffered minor surface damage. I'm going to cast and then machine my own polishing plate. All the books talk about using Zinc for steel parts and I have read tin for gold parts, but online have read about a few people using a tin plate for steel parts. Tin will be easier to cast than zinc, but I should still be able to manage to cast zinc, but just want to know if anyone here has tried black polishing and if so have they used a tin plate, or should I go the extra effort and cast a zinc plate?
I'm just wondering how many people here are a member of any association? There are still quite a lot of Associations / Clubs / Guild / Institutes around the world and I'm just interested how many people here are members of one, either because you are training through them, or joined just to find like minded people. I'm a member of the 'Master Clock and Watch Makers of Western Australian Inc' which is a not for profit organisation for promoting Horology and also runs the school I have been studying at for the past 3 and a bit years. I just recently graduated from my course so have paid the difference and I moved up from an associate to a full member which will allow me to be more active within the association. I'm sure we must have atleast a few members of BHI here, but what other organisation are people members of, or are thinking about joining. Just interested to know.
Thanks for the German translation. I do sometimes search ebay Germany but have been relying on Google translate and only getting mixed results. At least in Perth Western Australia watchmakers tools at auction houses are pretty rare as I guess there just aren't as many for sale in Australia. You can see the same on Ebay Australia, you do a search using the word 'watchmaker' and set it for used items on in Australia and it gets 54 hits today, same search on Ebay UK gets 364 hits.
SIgn up to Cousins UK and go look for watch parts and then case parts and enter your calibre and case number which will be on the back of the case. if you are lucky Cousins will have in stock the correct crystal, or an OEM crystal for the watch, but as Seiko does produce a lot of models of watches its quite common for the crystal to be obsolete and out of stock, but Cousins may still list the part number which you can search for it on ebay. This is for the acrylic crystals, if its just a flat mineral glass you just need to rmeove it and measure diameter and thickness with a vernier and buy a replacement one, but measure very carefully as the glasses go up in 0.1mm steps. You may also need to buy a new gasket for the glass too. As they others say other than a gentle dusting don't touch the dial. If you are very careful you can try a microfibre Q-tip just damp with distilled water on stains, but be careful as it can remove the markers and writing.
The price might not of gone down on Bergeon tools, but it does seem the quality has. I guess part of it must be economies of scale. How many watchmakers bought tools from Bergeon 30 years ago compared to today?
A quick test would be to weigh a number of them and then fill up a measuring jug with water and drop them in. You should be then able to work out their volume by how much water they displace. Nickel weighs 8.908 grams per cubic centimeter. Lead weighs 11.342 gram per cubic centimeter. Tin weighs 7.265 gram per cubic centimeter Also if they are tin and you bend one you will hear a cracking sound as the crystalline structure within the tin cracks, lead won't do this. If you are accurate enough with your weighing and measuring and they are not an alloy of elements you should be able to work out what they are made from.
Top one is definitely a Jacot tool, a very expensive one, its possibly meant to have a diamond lapp wheel to polish the pivot a bit like this one. http://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/36767/files/150953315/sold-bergeon-4106-rollifit-with-steiner-jacot-pivo.jpg No idea on the second one The last one what is the metal they are made from and how big are they? I am wondering if its a bag of anodes for plating.
Can I see the word 'push' and a little arrow above it on the back plate at about 4:30? If so look where the arrow is pointing, you may need to move the stem out to setting position for the thing to push to become visible.
I just received 2 new books today, both by Archie Perkins and I'm very happy with them. I already had his first book ' The Modern Watchmakers Lathe and How to Use it' and today I received Antique watch Restoration Volume 1 and Volume 2 These books are not cheap but I'm very happy with them, if you want to learn how to repair antique watches these are the books you need. Volume 1 Starts with 34 pages on just how to strip down and clean an English Fusee Lever Watch, followed by a chapter on repairing or making watch Fusee chains and then several other chapters covering how to make Clicks, Ratchwheels, Fusee clicks and Maintaining clicks, repairing fusee barrels. It then has several other chapters on how to cut wheels and finish winding wheels with snail patterns, rayed patterns and even how to use a rose engine to make the patterns on the winding and ratchet wheels. I know someone who has made their own rose engine to make silver watch dials, so I can see me having a chat with him in the future. Volume Two goes into how to set jewels in antique watches, then the verge escapement and how to make a new verge escape wheel as well as verge balance staffs, it also goes in depth on repairing duplex escapements, cylinder escapements, chronometer escapements, detached lever escapements, making new pallet forks, roller tables, pallet stnes and jewels and even balance wheels and screws. I don't have all the tools needed or the skill to do all this work, but it does give me something to aim at. There is also a book 3 that goes very much into detail on replacing, repairing and making all types of hairsprings, but I didn't get this book as I decided that was way above my current skill level. If you are all interested in restoring antique watches where you will likely have to fabricate some parts yourself I do very much recommend these books.
Yes I've got a large selection of repair books, but there is so much still not covered in them.


In the world of medical malpractice lawsuits, it is common knowledge that it is important to use testimony from a medical expert in order to help win your case. The facts involved in most medical malpractices cases tend to be too complicated for those who are not experienced in the medical field to understand. Without a medical expert, many judges will dismiss your case before you go to trial, since they commonly feel that the details of medical malpractice cases absolutely require the guidance of medical experts in order to properly be understood.
The job of an expert medical witness is to establish the standard of medical care a patient should ideally experience in the situation in question at trial. They also offer expert opinion regarding whether or not the doctor in question met the standard of care.
Most qualified medical experts will put this in the context of widely accepted scholarly literature on the subject, proving that there is a precedent for the behavior in question and that it is a widely held opinion that in this situation wrongdoing took place.
Related to whether the doctor's actions would commonly be considered to be incorrect, the expert witness should additionally testify on the matter of whether or not the doctor's actions should be considered instrumental in injuring the patient in question. Typically, these kinds of medical situations have a number of complex factors that may or may not have anything to do with the doctor's questionable behavior. This is the central argument for why a medical expert must prove that the negligent behavior in question is the primary cause of injury in the patient.
Locating a qualified medical malpractice lawyer for your medical malpractice case is of critical importance. While you do not necessarily need to find a lawyer that deals exclusively with medical malpractice, you should try to find a lawyer that specializes in the field.
If you are dealing with insurance companies, you will find that many of them may refuse to make any offers with a lawyer that they view is not experienced enough in medical malpractice cases. If you are trying to settle your case, a lawyer will be a key factor, as you need a lawyer who understands all of the complicated intricacies involved and can help use expert testimony to gauge the right settlement offer to accept.
Your lawyer will be required to establish that your medical expert witness indeed has the proper qualifications to make the judgments required by the court. If the opposing counsel feels your expert is not qualified, they are free to request that they describe their experience and medical background in as far as how it relates to the case at hand. Be prepared for this, and choose a medical expert who can fulfill this demand.
The only times that you can forego the use of a medical expert is when the evidence is so obvious, anyone can see that medical malpractice took place and there are no complicated details that need to be explained to the jury. This is not always as straightforward as it may seem. While it may seem obvious to you, there are many ways that the use of a medical expert may be a very good idea. It may be that the doctor in question's behavior is obviously negligent, however the opposing counsel may be able to prove that the doctor was not the only factor at play, and did not have exclusive control over the situation which led to injury.

As far as the web site crashing, it seems to only happen on the main page. I found that if I'm quick enough, I can hit a link to one of the articles and that page loads just fine. For me at least, it only crashes when I try to let the main page load completely.
Forgot to add, I can also hit the X to stop the page loading and it stays open too. Hope this helps you guys.


When comes to water heating systems for homes and businesses, tankless water heaters are best and most innovative technology available today.
Conventional Water Heaters: Attached to a tank that is always full of warm water, conventional water heaters burn fuel around the clock to ensure warm water is always a turn of the faucet away. That means when you and your family are out of the house, at work or school, it's heating. When you're out for dinner and a movie, it's heating. While you're on vacation enjoying the beach somewhere, you guessed it, it's still heating.
Tankless Water Heaters: Tankless water heaters are on demand systems, so it only heats the water when there is a demand for it. When you're ready for a hot shower or a bowl of warm soup, your water is ready too—all at the turn of a faucet. This 'on demand' functionality allows the homeowner to drastically reduce the high levels of energy and water typically consumed by their conventional counterparts. In addition, the amount of energy wasted with tankless is significantly less than conventional. For example, a typical water heater will heat at 95% efficiency (only 5% of energy is lost), and a traditional unit goes to a maximum of 75%.
A 40 gallon conventional water heater requires a lot of space to store all that water. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, are about the size of a carry on suitcase with a far more effective design. That means even the smallest tankless water heater will perform better the largest conventional water heater.
They will never run out of hot water.
Saving you up to 60% of water heating energy.
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60%.
Giving you twice the lifespan of a conventional water heater. 20 years, compared to 10.
Start paying for hot water only when you want it. Call Arnett's Water Systems to get set up with a tankless water heater today!

}
</script>

A: Why don't you use HttpCompression? That would enable you to compress all static content including javascript and CSS files.
HttpCompression IIS 6
HttpCompression IIS 7

A: (I've been using this technique for quite a while - hence the vb.net code!)
Although compression is not supported by IIS 6.0, most browsers support basic gzip compression and they notify the server of this ability by sending a header in each request. The following piece of code shows how to use the System.IO.Compression namespace to add a filter to the output stream that compresses the output whilst checking and setting the correct headers.
 context.Response.Clear()
 context.Response.Buffer = True

 context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format( "attachment;filename={0}", fileName))
 context.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8

 context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Private)

 'Compress the output as it may be very large
 'When flushing or closing+ending the stream, the compression filter does not have a chance to write the compression footer
 'Therefore, make sure the compression filter stream is closed before flushing
 AddCompression(context)

 context.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" 'This example was an excel doc

 'Write to response
 context.Response.Write(your-data-here)

 'context.Response.Flush() 'Do not flush if using compression
 'context.Response.Close()
 context.Response.End()

The AddCompression method checks the appropriate headers and adds a compression filter stream to the output:
'Add compression to the response stream
Public Sub AddCompression(ByVal context As HttpContext)

    Dim acceptEncoding As String = context.Request.Headers("Accept-Encoding")
    If acceptEncoding Is Nothing OrElse acceptEncoding.Length = 0 Then Return

    'Convert to lower to check
    acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToLower

    'Gzip or Compress compression
    'Compress compression is quicker and performs better compression so try that first
    If (acceptEncoding.Contains("deflate")) Then

        context.Response.Filter = New DeflateStream(context.Response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress)
        context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "deflate")

    ElseIf acceptEncoding.Contains("gzip") Then

        context.Response.Filter = New GZipStream(context.Response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress)
        context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip")

    End If

End Sub

A: Download gzip compression sample code and add it to your Global.asax file.

Feds: Militia leader pointed rifle at officers in Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The leader of a pro-gun group that stages armed protests against police violence has been charged with pointing a rifle at federal officers while in Kentucky for a demonstration.
John F. Johnson, who calls himself "Grandmaster Jay," is facing a federal charge of assaulting task force officers. A complaint filed in federal court in Louisville said Johnson pointed a rifle, which had a flashlight mounted to it, at officers who were on a roof in downtown Louisville on Sept. 4.
Johnson's group, known as the NFAC, has an all-Black membership and often demonstrates against white supremacy and police violence. The incident occurred the day before the Kentucky Derby, when several groups and hundreds of protesters peacefully marched to call for justice in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor by Louisville police. The group also held a march on July 4 at Georgia's Stone Mountain Park, calling for the park's massive Confederate carving to be removed.
U.S. Attorney Russell Coleman said the FBI is committed to "investigating violent behavior and those who are exploiting legitimate, peaceful protests and engaging in violations of federal law."
Johnson, 57, was arrested Thursday at his home in West Chester, Ohio.
Johnson pointed an AR-style rifle with the flashlight on, which "blinded" several officers on the roof, including Secret Service and FBI officers, according to a release from Coleman's office. Officers were concerned Johnson could accidentally fire a round, according to the federal complaint.
Johnson faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison if convicted of the charge.


At this year's Twelfth Havana Biennial, Prieto has taken a remarkably leading role. Not only is his show in one of the most important and visited venues of the event (the exterior and entire ground floor level of the Cuban Art Building of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes) but he has also curated one of the most talked about and attractive Biennial exhibitions, Montañas con una esquina rota. For this show, he took over what I consider to be the signature piece of the event, a former bicycle factory that today is in ruins.
His exhibition called Ping-Pong Cuadrícula at Bellas Artes is a reasonable apprenticeship route which with a little good will and freeing themselves of prejudices has viewers following and receiving some notable benefits from the journey. We think that this is a sort of global tale which very subtly tells us the story of how any object can become art, as long as between art and reality there is a mind ready to make this operation possible.
Ping-Pong Cuadrícula draws together multiple metaphors that are moving in various directions. One of its strongest virtues is that one metaphor does not allow itself to get trapped by another and slightest trace of rhetoric. The hooks are practically invisible and follow dynamics very rarely attained.
The artist's abundant ingenuity is no drawback since the actions have been supported by the undeniable weight of experience. Wilfredo manages to go from a large freight truck to fragments of scattered glass without anything getting fractured on the way, pulling on the imaginary thread that tautens spaces and charging them with emotion.
Montaña con río, Sí/No, Dos zapatos y dos medias, Matrioska, Una de cal otra de arena, and Pan con Pan are some of his pieces that lead us along the channels set up by the artist, who as the perfect manipulator, will be seated quietly awaiting at the end of the road. These moments that are captured with precision, form a retrospective glance at the trajectory that has described his thinking. It is worth pointing out that these works have also been chosen keeping in mind that their practical insertion into a space with some limitations.
Some of his work is closely associated with sculpture, while other areas are much closer to performance and installations art given their expansive nature. At any rate, those of us who have had the pleasure many times of throwing a stone into the water know what is unleashed upon impact with the surface. Similarly, his objects seem to achieve those effects on the viewers' subjectivity.
Returning to his work as curator for Montañas con una esquina rota, when you take in this very original exhibition that relies heavily on the actual nature of the location he selected (ruins), behind the indisputable value of the pieces created by renowned artists from all over the world and brought together here for the occasion, the vigorous visual brand of Wilfredo Prieto emerges as if, when all is said and done, this ends up being necessary and unyielding.

No. 24 Squadron (Hawks) IAF is an Air Defence squadron of the Indian Air Force, operating from Bareilly AFS.

History
The squadron was raised at AFS Chabua on 16 February 1962 as an Air Defence and Reconnaissance unit.

Indo-China War of 1962
During the 1962 Indo-China War, the squadron, equipped with Vampires, was tasked to fly combat air patrols over Assam. Alongside these, the squadron had to fly recon missions in some of the narrowest and most treacherous valleys in the area, to facilitate the supply drops carried out by Dakotas. The squadron also carried out COIN operations in the north-east.

Indo-Pakistan War of 1965
The squadron saw considerable action during this war. It operated from AFS Kalaikhunda, in West Bengal, tasked with providing close air support to the ground units in the Eastern Sector. It continued for the first few days of the war and then relocated to Barrackpur, from where it launched daylight strikes over vital targets, mostly in hostile weather conditions. During the latter part of the war, the Hawks flew combat air patrol in Gorkhapur Sector.

After the War
After the war, the IAF embarked on its modernisation programme, and the Hawks were chosen to be equipped with Folland Gnats. By the end of 1966, the squadron had achieved total operational capability with Gnats. During this period the squadron pilots and technicians underwent much training and retraining alongside several other squadrons.

Bangladesh Liberation War
In 1971, the Hawks were operating from Tezpur AFS. On 2 December, the squadron received a message to move to Kumbhighram Sector in Assam, to provide combat air support to ground troops in eastern India, against heavily defended positions. Within six days of the war, the squadron had flown several sorties attacking enemy gun positions and vital target systems in Brahmanbaria, Moulvibazar, Munshibazar, Sylhet, Kulaura, Narayanganj, Dolanganj and Mainwati. The squadron was also the first of the IAF to provide air cover to helilift operations.

Recent years
The squadron has been equipped with a variety of aircraft in the past, the most recent being the Su-30MKI. In various inter-squadron training exercises, the squadron has won various trophies.

Га́йда або карруката (, англо-сакс.: hϊd або hiwisc; ) — одиниця величини земельних ділянок у англосаксонській Британії (за винятком Кенту та територій данського права). Одна гайда являла собою величину оброблюваної земельної ділянки, достаньої для утримання сім'ї одного вільного селянина-керла.

Реальна площа гайди варіювалась в залежності від регіону: так у Кембриджширі та, скоріш за все, у інших середньоанглійських областях, звичайна гайда досягала 120 акрів орної землі, у той час, як в Вілтширі та Дорсеті всього 40. Різниця у площі гайд у різних регіонах пояснювалась тим, що гайда фактично була не одиницею площі землі, а одиницею її продуктивності. Спочатку гайда була земельним володінням одного вільного землероба або однієї сім'ї. Відповідно обов'язки вільного землероба у ранніх англосаконських королівствах (військова служба у фірді, продуктова рента королю, утримання мостів та замків) розподілялись по гайдам. У подальшому практика оцінки землі у фіскальних або інших державних цілях збереглась, не зважаючи на те, що самі гайди перестали являти собою володіння однієї сім'ї.

У кінці англосаксонського періоду гайда фактично стала одиницею обкладення земельних володінь державними та феодальними повинностями: так при Ательстані від кожних 5 гайд землі виділявся 1 озброєний солдат у королівське ополчення, а при зборі данських грошей від кожної гайди сплачувалось 2 шилінги. Гайда також мала адміністративно-територіальну функцію: поселенням англосаксів, у залежності від їхньої величини присвоювалось 5, 10, 20 або більше (але кратне 5) число гайд, згідно з яким конкретне село або містечко несли повинності на користь короля, території з населенням, що відповідало 100 гайдам, утворювали сотні, які у свою чергу групувались у графства.

Гайда зберегла своє фіскальне значення і деякий час після нормандського завоювання. Ще у «Книзі Страшного суду» гайда грає роль одиниці оцінки і обкладення земель у південній та середній Англії (за винятком Кету та Данелагу).

Одна четверта частина гайди називалась віргатою та була базовою одиницею наділу феодально залежного селянства (англосаксонських гебурів, а після нормандського завоювання — вілланів).

The Alexanders: First Sprinkler Run of the Season!
Today was a very warm day! Avery was playing outside at her water table and was beginning to get very wet, so we put her swimsuit on her and she had a ball! Craig turned on the sprinkler for her and she ran around for a couple hours trying to drink the water out of the sprinkler. It was hilarious! Take note of Daddy's beautiful fence in the background that he worked so hard on! (He did have a little help since his thumb is broken, but hey--he did the hard parts all by himself!) Good job, Daddy!
I showed this to Chloe and she said, "That's my best friend. That is Avery Alexander". Maybe when we get back we can have some sprinkler fun together.
