Kenney Leads Biggest Winners from Triton Poker Series Montenegro
The 2019 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro is in the books, and several huge winners emerged from the high-stakes poker series held at the Maestral Resort & Casino along the Adriatic Sea. Chief among them was Bryn Kenney, who won more than $4.1 million total and jumped to No. 4 on poker's all-time money list, per Hendon Mob. Kenney only cashed twice in the series, but both times he won the tournament. In the first, Kenney topped a field of 79 entries to win the HK$500,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event for HK$11.23 million ($1.43 million). In the second, he topped a field of 75 entries in the HK$1 million Main Event to win HK$21.3 million ($2.71 million). With those two wins, Kenney improved to just shy of $34.8 million in career live tournaments earnings, of which he's won more than $9.1 million in 2019 alone. Kenney's previous best year on the live tournament felt was in 2017 when he won more than $8.5 million. Other big winners to come out of the 2019 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro include Rui Cao ($3.61 million), Paul Phua ($3.59 million), Nikita Badziakouski ($2.91 million), and Daniel Dvoress ($2.71 million). Both Phua and Dvoress cashed five times in the series and a total of 12 players earned combined prizes of more than $1 million.

As already mentioned, Kenney jumped to No. 4 overall. Jason Koon, who cashed three times in Montenegro for just under $1 million, slid up one spot ahead of Antonio Esfandiari to be No. 8. Isaac Haxton, who, like Koon, won just under $1 million from this series, is now No. 13 and Badziakouski jumped to No. 15. John Juanda, who won an event in Montenegro for just more than $600,000, actually dropped back to No. 14. Then, looking a bit further down the leaderboard, Phua can now be found at No. 62 on the list after winning $3.59 million in Montenegro. High roller and super high roller events are as plentiful as they have ever been on the poker circuit. Numerous stops have $25,000 or $50,000 buy-in events, and some even push the envelope even further with $100,000 price tags on the schedule. Then, there are several festivals a year that are solely dedicated to ultra high-stakes players, such as the Triton Poker Series festivals. If there was ever a 'steroid era' in poker, similar to what baseball went through for an extended period of time, most commonly referred to as the latter half of the 1990s and into the 2000s. It's not that poker players are using performance-enhancing drugs to boost their earnings, but rather that there's such an injection of these super high buy-in small-field events that are causing grand shifts in money lists. It doesn't appear that these events and festivals are going anywhere, so poker will need to go through a bit of a market correction and rankings adjustments to correctly account for the juiced results.

TRITON MILLION: Getting to Know the Businessmen and Women Players
The 2019 Triton Super High Roller Series London kicks off this week with the biggest buy-in in tournament poker history as the highlight. Deemed the Triton Million: A Helping Hand for Charity, the event has a gargantuan £1,050,000 buy-in, of which £1,000,000 goes to the prize pool and £50,000 goes towards charitable causes. The Triton Million takes place at London Hilton on Park Lane and is sponsored by partypoker LIVE. It is scheduled as a three-day event from August 1-3. Charitable causes to benefit include Caring For Children Foundation, R.E.G., Healthy Hong Kong, Credit One World Charity, and One Drop. Triton Million Provides Unique Twist The Triton Million has a freezeout format with a rather unique twist to it. It's invite-only. Invited players were issued invitations from a committee, and these players are of the recreational or businessman or woman variety. Those fortunate enough to receive invitations can then issue one invitation of their own to a guest player. The guest player can be a professional poker player. This allows for the field to be at least a 50% businessmen. For the first six hours of tournament play, the two player pools will be separated, such that the recreational/businessmen and women compete against one another and the guests/professionals play against one another. Furthermore, players will be asked to dress in formal attire for the final table. The Triton Million field has 25 businessmen signed up. Let's take a look at them. Paul Phua [caption id="attachment_625843" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Paul Phua (photo: Triton Poker)[/caption] Paul Phua has been around the ultra high-stakes poker scene for nearly a decade now, amassing more than $11,400,000 in live tournament earnings and cashing in some of the richest poker events in the world. He has two victories on record, first in the Aspers £100,000 High Roller in 2012 for £1,000,000 ($1,621,297) and second in the Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza €100,000 High Roller for €752,700 ($825,619). As for his business exploits that have earned him a fortune, Phua has been a well-known junket operator for some of the world's richest and he's been in the news as the "world's biggest bookie," having his Caesars Palace villa raided in July 2014 for running an illegal gambling operation. The raid came just about a month after Phua was arrested in Macau under similar charges. Phua's guest player for the Triton Million is Tom Dwan. Cary Katz [caption id="attachment_625842" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Cary Katz (photo: World Poker Tour)[/caption] Cary Katz is the man atop the Poker Central organizational chart, having founded the company in 2015. Prior to that, he was founder and CEO of one of the largest student loan companies in the United States. On the felt, Katz has nearly $20,000,000 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best score of €1,750,000 ($1,929,203) when he finished fifth in the 2016 Monte-Carlo One Drop Extravaganza €1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. In January 2018, Katz won the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller to the tune of $1,492,340, and he placed eighth in the 2014 WSOP $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop for $1,306,667. Katz's guest player for the Triton Million is Bryn Kenney. Rob Yong [caption id="attachment_625844" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Rob Yong (photo: World Poker Tour)[/caption] Rob Yong is the owner of Dusk Till Dawn Poker & Casino in Nottingham, UK. Under Yong's watchful eye, Dusk Till Dawn was built into what is considered to be one of the best card rooms in the world, with top-tier brands such as the World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour, partypoker, and UK & Ireland Poker Tour holding events there. Yong is now heavily involved with partypoker and partypoker LIVE, helping to grow these two brands in the online and live realms, respectively. Although his live tournament results amount to only a little more than $330,000, Yong has been a regular at some of the highest stakes in the world, specifically when it comes to cash games. At the table, he's an entertaining competitor who doesn't shy away from risk and will liven up any game. Yong's guest player for the Triton Million is Sam Trickett. Talal Shakerchi [caption id="attachment_625845" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Talal Shakerchi (photo: World Poker Tour)[/caption] Talal Shakerchi is a player from the recreational/businessmen category that could likely fit into the professional poker player category. He doesn't have the most live tournament earnings, with more than $7,300,000 won in his career, but make no mistake about it, Shakerchi is a grinder. For quite some time, Shakerchi kept his online poker name a secret so others in the high-stakes community wouldn't realize his ability or the amount of volume he was putting in. On the business side, Shakerchi is an investment manager, running Meditor Capital Management Limited, which he founded. Shakerchi's guest player for the Triton Million is Igor Kurganov. Antanas 'Tony G' Guoga [caption id="attachment_625841" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Antanas 'Tony G' Guoga (photo: Triton Poker)[/caption] Antanas Guoga, who is best known as 'Tony G' in the poker world, is another player listed in the recreational/businessmen category that could very well be considered a professional poker player. At least that's what he used to be. Now a politician and Lithuanian Member of the European Parliament, Guoga is rarely seen on the poker scene these days. He is the founder of PokerNews.com and TonyBet. Guoga boasts more than $6,000,000 in live tournament earnings and became famous for his brash table talk. His biggest cash came at the European Poker Tour Grand Final €25,500 High Roller in 2009, when he took third for €420,000 ($552,239). He won the 2005 European Poker Championships Main Event for £260,000 ($456,822) and placed second in the World Poker Tour €10,000 Grand Prix de Paris for €339,930 ($414,478) in 2004.

Timothy Adams Wins Super High Roller Bowl Russia
As the live poker tournament comes to a halt for the foreseeable future in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the last high profile event to wrap up featured a winner putting on a repeat performance. Timothy Adams beat Christoph Vogelsang to win the Super High Roller Bowl Russia for $3.6 million. It was just 41 days ago that Adams beat Kahle Burns to win the Super High Roller Bowl Australia for $1.4 million. [ptable zone="888poker"][ptable zone="Party Poker NJ"][ptable zone="Global Poker Article Ad"] SHRB Russia drew 40 entries and just seven players returned for the final day of play in Sochi on Sunday. Ben Heath started the day with the chip lead while Adams was right in the middle of the pack. Only six players were getting paid, and it took just 45 minutes for the bubble to burst with Stephen Chidwick being eliminated in seventh place. Once Chidwick was out, it was just 10 minutes before the first player was sent to the cashier cage. Vogelsang raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and Ivan Leow called from the button. The flop came [poker card="qh"][poker card="7h"][poker card="3d"] and Vogelsang bet 55,000. Leow moved all-in for 300,000 and Vogelsang called. Leow turned over [poker card="ah"][poker card="7c"] but got bad news when Vogelsang showed [poker card="qd"][poker card="7d"]. Neither the [poker card="ts"] turn or [poker card="kc"] river were any help for Leow and he was out in sixth place. Five-handed play lasted just over an hour before a battle of the blinds ended with an elimination. Heath raised to XXX,000 from the small blind before Adrian Mateos moved all-in for 1,000,000 from the big. Heath called and showed [poker card="ah"][poker card="qs"] and Mateos turned over [poker card="2c"][poker card="2d"]. The [poker card="ac"][poker card="as"][poker card="9s"] flop left Mateos needing one of two deuces. The [poker card="9h"] turn ended all of that though as Heath made a full house. The [poker card="8d"] river completed the board and Mateos exited in fifth place. The four remaining players battled for another five hours without a single elimination. Another blind versus blind situation finally broke that stalemate. Vogelsang and Mikita Badziakouski folded before Heath moved all-in for 1,200,000 and Adams called. Heath turned over [poker card="qs"][poker card="6s"] and Adams had a small edge with [poker card="as"][poker card="2d"]. The board ran out [poker card="js"][poker card="td"][poker card="9c"][poker card="9d"][poker card="5c"] to bust Heath in fourth. Just 20 minutes later, Badziakouski's run ended. Adams folded the button and Vogelsang raised to 1,500,000 and Badziakouski called all-in and turned over [poker card="ac"][poker card="qh"] which put him ahead of Vogelsang's [poker card="jh"][poker card="3h"]. The [poker card="js"][poker card="9s"][poker card="3s"] flop changed everything and left Badziakouski drawing thin. The [poker card="8s"] turn gave Badziakouski some outs to stay alive but the [poker card="4c"] river was a complete brick, eliminating the Belarusian poker pro in third place. When heads-up play started, Vogelsang held 55% of the chips in play. Over the next two hours both players took turns with the chip lead. As play wore on, the pair agreed to skip a level and just 20 minutes later, Adams put the finishes touches on his victory. Adams completed from the small blind but Vogelsang responded by moving all in for 3,700,000 and Adams snap-called. Vogelsang showed [poker card="ac"][poker card="6d"] but was dominated by Adams' [poker card="ah"][poker card="9s"]. The [poker card="th"][poker card="5s"][poker card="2d"][poker card="jh"][poker card="9d"] runout kept Adams ahead and even improved his hand to a pair of nines on the river to eliminate Vogelsang. Super High Roller Bowl Russia Payouts Timothy Adams - $3,600,000 Christoph Vogelsang - $2,400,000 Mikita Badziakouski - $1,600,000 Ben Heath - $1,000,000 Adrian Mateos - $800,000 Ivan Leow - $600,000

Michael Jackson shows he still had It to the very end
Roger Ebert October 27, 2009
Michael Jackson and dancers in rehearsal for the planned series of London concerts.
Now streaming on:
"This Is it," Michael Jackson told his fans in London, announcing his forthcoming concert tour. "This is the final curtain call." The curtain fell sooner than expected. What is left is this extraordinary documentary, nothing at all like what I was expecting to see. Here is not a sick and drugged man forcing himself through grueling rehearsals, but a spirit embodied by music. Michael Jackson was something else.
The film has been assembled from rehearsals from April through June 2009 for a concert tour scheduled for this summer. The footage was "captured by a few cameras," an opening screen tells us, but they were professional high-def cameras and the sound track is full-range stereo. The result is one of the most revealing music documentaries I've seen.
And it's more than that. It's a portrait of Michael Jackson that belies all the rumors that he would have been too weak to tour. That shows not the slightest trace of a spoiled prima donna. That benefits from the limited number of cameras by allowing us to experience his work in something closer to realistic time, instead of fracturing it into quick cuts. That provides both a good idea of what the final concert would have looked like, and a portrait of the artist at work.
Never raising his voice, never showing anger, always soft-spoken and courteous to his cast and crew, Michael with his director, Kenny Ortega, micro-manages the production. He corrects timing, refines cues, talks about details of music and dance. Seeing him always from a distance, I thought of him as the instrument of his producing operation. Here we see that he was the auteur of his shows.
We know now that Michael was subjected to a cocktail of drugs in the time leading up to his fatal overdose, including the last straw, a drug so dangerous it should only be administered by an anesthesiologist in an operating room. That knowledge makes it hard to understand how he appears to be in superb physical condition. His choreography, built from such precise, abrupt and perfectly-timed movements, is exhausting, but he never shows a sign of tiring. His movements are so well synchronized with the other dancers on stage, who are much younger and highly-trained, that he seems one with them. This is a man in such command of his physical instrument that he makes spinning in place seem as natural as blinking his eye.
He has always been a dancer first, and then a singer. He doesn't specialize in solos. With the exception of a sweet love ballad, his songs all incorporate four backup singers and probably supplementary tracks prerecorded by himself. It is the whole effect he has in mind.
It might have been a hell of a show. Ortega and special effects wizards coordinate pre-filmed sequences with the stage work. There's a horror-movie sequence with ghouls rising from a cemetery (and ghosts that were planned to fly above the audience). Michael is inserted into scenes from Rita Hayworth and Humphrey Bogart movies, and through clever f/x even has a machine-gun battle with Bogie. His environmental pitch is backed by rain forest footage. He rides a cherry-picker high above the audience.
His audience in this case consists entirely of stagehands, gaffers, technicians, and so on. These are working people who have seen it all. They love him. They're not pretending. They love him for his music, and perhaps even more for his attitude. Big stars in rehearsal are not infrequently pains in the ass. Michael plunges in with the spirit of a co-worker, prepared to do the job and go the distance.
How was that possible? Even if he had the body for it, which he obviously did, how did he muster the mental strength? When you have a doctor on duty around the clock to administer the prescription medications you desire, when your idea of a good sleep is reportedly to be unconscious for 24 hours, how do you wake up into such a state of keen alertness? Uppers? I don't think it quite works that way. I was watching like a hawk for any hint of the effects of drug abuse, but couldn't see any. Perhaps it's significant that of all the people in the rehearsal space, he is the only one whose arms are covered at all times by long sleeves.
Well, we don't know how he did it. "This Is It" is proof that he did do it. He didn't let down his investors and colleagues. He was fully prepared for his opening night. He and Kenny Ortega, who also directed this film, were at the top of their game. There's a moving scene on the last day of rehearsal when Jackson and Ortega join hands in a circle with all the others, and thank them. But the concert they worked so hard on was never to be.

Best Non-Traditional Adventure: Return of the Obra Dinn
We've already established that Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best detective games ever made, but it's all the more impressive because it eschews nearly every element of a typical adventure game in doing so. Inventory puzzles? Nope. Environmental puzzles? Nada. Character interaction? With whom? They're all dead! But who needs the standard genre trappings when you've got a ship full of horrific death and pixelized gore? With its single-minded focus on identifying the dead crew of the Obra Dinn (and the methods by which they met their ends), this is a uniquely compelling experience that takes place primarily between the player's ears in piecing together the game's one giant logic puzzle.
Not content merely to defy expectations about gameplay, however, indie deloper Lucas Pope has done a marvelous job bringing the ship to life (and death) in a stunning lo-fi, monochromatic style that recalls '80s MacVenture games like Déjà vu and Shadowgate, only thrust into the 3D era. Yet that deceptively simple visual approach belies a wealth of detail. Each frozen tableau of a character's moment of death is deliciously complex, morbid, and often hilarious. This is a game that requires you to pay close attention to everything from the decorations on a sailor's hammock, to the tattoos on their arms, to minor differences in accent and hairstyle. The package is topped off with a tragi-comically jaunty soundtrack, great voice acting, and atmospheric sound design. And the feeling of checking off another batch of names on your list of doom? Second to none. Return of the Obra Dinn is simply one of the most unorthodox but rewarding games of the year, and for that it's the runaway Aggie winner for Best Non-Traditional Adventure.

Readers' Choice: Return of the Obra Dinn
Mr. Plum with the candlestick in the library! Wait, no, that's Clue. But when you think about it, Return of the Obra Dinn is a lot like Hasbro's enduring board game – only instead of cards and dice, you have to really use your brain to piece together victim, cause of death, and murderer (if any). Sixty victims, that is – sixty!! There are no conventional puzzles to solve per se, because the entire mystery is one huge interwoven logic conundrum to crack, and it'll take diligence and careful observation (and fess up – a little bit of guesswork as well) to succeed. It may look like a 1-bit game straight out of the 1980s, but it's surprisingly effective in action, and it's backed by a terrific soundscape throughout. Take a look at a screenshot and you might be tempted to dismiss it; take some time to play for a while and you'll be hooked. Staff and readers are in accord: Lucas Pope has crafted a winner.

Q: Combining an Audio Signal and 9 VDC on the same Trace I have a backplane where 4 individual modules plug into it and provide various sound effects. To control which module is powered and to route the input signal to it, there is a 2-pole, 5-way mechanical switch so the power and signal are sent to the desired module. However, the output signal from each module shares the same trace going to the amplifier.
This is a problem because when more than 1 module is plugged, in the output signal goes south. Individual modules work great, but with more than one module installed, not so good. I thought that since the other 3 modules were not powered they would have no effect on the active module, well, I was wrong.
So I was trying to think of a way to route the input signal and power to the appropriate module and separate the output signals so they are not in parallel. That led me to see if I can use one of the poles of the switch for both power and input signal and the other pole for the output signal.
Two other thoughts were to add a diode to each of the output traces or an audio transformer. I just don't know, I already have hardware built so I am stuck trying to make what I have to work.
Do you think this will work or have any suggestions about the idea of adding the power to the input signal?

A: The cheapest solution would be to use a 3 pole 5 position switch and use the 3rd pole to switch the outputs. It is possible to combine the input and DC voltage into one line, but that brings up new complications. The input signal could be coupled to the DC with a capacitor, then extracted by using a second capacitor on the amp end. Problems to overcome with that would be power supply ripple would need to be very small, and you need to deal with impedance matching on both ends. A third solution could be to use individual relays at each amp module location. The switch would energize a 2 pole relay that which would switch the input & output.

A: I don't see why 9v power has anything to do with this, other than it's on the switch and backplane.
There are two reasons I see as to why the audio signal is going bad:  1. The ESD protection diodes on the output of each card is getting powered down and so clamping the audio to GND.  2.  Something else on each card is loading the signal, causing it to have a low level.
The solution could be to make a passive audio mixer using some resistors.  This is easy, since all you have to do is add a series resistor to the output of each card.  The volume of this mixed audio will go down, dependent on the # of cards, but that could be compensated for by increasing the gain downstream.  The value of the resistors really depends on what you have downstream, but something in the 500-10,000 ohm range is reasonable.
I should mention that if your problem is ESD protection diodes then the passive mixer could introduce some noise-- although for your application that may be acceptable.  Again, it depends on your circuit.

A: This thing is already in use, if I understood the question right:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_power
Lines going to audio will need at least a capacitor on the 'hot' line, preferably another one on the ground in case the connections gets reversed.

A: Why do you need to mux the power and inputs at all?  Why can't all the modules always be on creating their outputs, then you selectively mix or select the output you want.  Your existing 2 pole 5 posisiton switch could still be used but with 1 pole left over.

Verleihung
Der Titel wurde am 28. Juni 1445 für Sir James Hamilton geschaffen. Er war Laird der Baronie Cadzow in Lanarkshire, die sein Vorfahr Sir Walter fitz Gilbert um 1315 erworben hatte und für die im Laufe der Zeit der Name Hamilton durchsetzte. Sein Sohn, der 2. Lord, wurde am 11. August 1503 zum Earl of Arran erhoben.

Dessen Enkel, dem 3. Earl, wurden 1581 seine Titel wegen Hochverrates aberkannt und seine Ländereien durch die Krone eingezogen. 1585 erreichte die Rückgabe der Ländereien und die Wiederherstellung der Titel. Dessen Neffe, der 4. Earl, hatte bereits 1604 den Titel Marquess of Hamilton geerbt und wurde 1619 auch zum Earl of Cambridge erhoben. Dessen Sohn, der 3. Marquess, wurde 1643 auch zum Duke of Hamilton erhoben. Beim Tod von dessen Bruder, dem 2. Duke, erloschen das Marquessate Hamilton und das Earldom Cambridge, das Earldom Arran und die Lordship Hamilton fielen in einen Ruhezustand, und das Dukedom Hamilton fiel an dessen Nichte Anne Hamilton.

Melting of ice in the Himalayas. The precipitation and melting pattern of snow impacts on irrigation in the lowlands is changing.
Change in snowmelt threatens water supply for irrigation
In mountain regions, snow accumulates in the winters and melts in spring. Due to global warming, timing and the amount of melting water changes, which may have profound effects on irrigation in river basins and on water supply world-wide.
Snow, which accumulates in numerous mountainous regions in winter and melts in spring and summer, makes a significant contribution to the supply of irrigation water in many river basins. The observed change in the climate is affecting the amount and timing of snowmelt. In a global study, an interdisciplinary research team led by Ohio State University, USA, and including agricultural scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany, have investigated how a warming of 2° or 4° Centigrade would affect the supply of water from snowmelt to irrigation areas. The results were published in the journal Nature Climate Change in April 2020.
It has been shown that water from snowmelt makes an important contribution to the supply of irrigation water in many irrigation areas in Central Asia, the Himalayas, the western USA and the southern Andes. In the period 1985-2015, more than 50 per cent of the global irrigation water requirement for barley was met by snowmelt in the months of March to May, and this was also the case for cotton in the months of May and June.
With global warming, the share of irrigation water supply from snowmelt decreases in almost all snowmelt-dependent areas, e.g. from 33 per cent to 18 per cent in the San Joaquin Basin in California, USA, or even from 29 per cent to 9 per cent in the Po Basin in northern Italy. Other areas strongly affected by such changes are the Rhône Valley basin in Switzerland and France, the Ebro basin in Spain and the Amu Darya basin in Central Asia.
Irrigation demand must be met by new alternative water supplies
"The considerable reduction in water availability from snowmelt during the period when irrigation should occur does not necessarily mean that we will inevitably be affected by water shortages and crop failure if the temperature rises by 4°Centigrade," says Professor Stefan Siebert from the University of Göttingen, Department of Crop Sciences, who was involved in the study. "Rather, we show that adaptations through alternative water supply options such as groundwater use, construction of reservoirs or inter-basin water transfers will be necessary."
The study thus makes an important contribution to identifying where such adaptation measures are particularly needed to limit the impact of reduced snowmelt on the supply of irrigation water."
Siebert made a significant contribution to the study by calculating the monthly irrigation water requirements of the different crop species. The other co-authors conducted research at Ohio State University, University of California Irvine, the University of California Merced, the University of Idaho, Dartmouth College, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University Palisades and Colorado State University, all in the USA.

Bathroom mirror frames have so many designs, models and sizes. Of course, they depend to the requirements, necessaries and the how to fit to the bathroom concept and design. As what i just said before, mirror frame in the bathroom basically important because of its function. We usually use the mirror to make some actions easier in the bathroom such as beard waxing, teeth brushing, face washing etc. But furthermore, mirror frames finally become a part of bathroom perfection.
Bathroom mirror frames come with the numbers of designs following the whole of bathroom designs. There are modern and traditional models which you can suit to the bathroom conept. For example, choosing minimalist frame is nice to be installed in modern bathroom view.

Blacksmith working in his shed.
The Dining Room was used for entertaining during the Reynolds' time at Tocal, but it was converted to a bedroom for the elderly Alexanders and later the Curtis sisters during the Alexander era. Part of the verandah was enclosed and an ensuite installed. The ensuite was removed during conservation work on the house in 1986. The elegant fireplace surround is made from unusually light coloured marble with a colonial neolassical design. It suggests that this room may have been intended as the drawing room, as traditionally dining rooms had a dark fireplace surround. The large piece of furniture in the centre back is a dumb waiter made of Australian cedar, an important and stylish dining room accessory in the 1850s and 60s. A system of gut strings enable it to be transformed into a side table.
The staircase is a beautiful example of a geometrical, self-supporting stair with no centre landing. It stands out as one of the more traditional features in a house employing many contemporary design elements for 1841.
You will hear tales of bushrangers and cattlemen; of architects and convicts, as you enjoy a stroll around the heritage farm precinct of Tocal Homestead in the Hunter Valley.
The Georgian homestead is set amongst huge fig trees overlooking Tocal lagoon with the PatersonRiver just beyond. Built as country retreat, the house is part of a comprehensive collection of brick and slab farm buildings dating from 1830. The buildings clearly illustrate the changing land use since 1822, when farming came to the area.
A visit to Tocal – "place of abundance" for the Wonnarua people – draws you into the stories of the people who lived by the Paterson River over the last 200 years. They first grew produce and fodder for the markets in Sydney. Tocal's Hereford cattle and Thoroughbred horses then became well known for their quality. The last owner, Charles Alexander, died in 1947 without descendants and he bequeathed his considerable estate to fulfil his vision for an agricultural school for underprivileged children. The CB Alexander Agricultural College opened in 1965 and currently offers a wide range of courses.
Tocal Homestead is located 15 kms north of Maitland on the road to Paterson.

There's been so much going on in the last few weeks and I have a lot to catch you up on, including some fantastic new recipes that have been a great addition to my kitchen, but I wanted to make sure I also took the time to tell you about the last few days of our Scottish adventures back in March. Having started in Liverpool before travelling on to Glasgow and Inverness, via Falkirk and Loch Ness, it was finally time to start our long journey home and we simply couldn't miss out the Scottish capital city itself, Edinburgh.
Mike and I have some amazing memories of Edinburgh as it was our honeymoon destination back in 1999 and we were keen to retrace some of our steps and share some of the wonderful sights with the children for them to experience too. We had chosen to spend an extra night there and given the weather we had, it was a good thing we had made that decision. On our first full day, we caught the tram from our hotel into the city centre, before jumping on to the City Sightseeing tour bus and heading towards the castle. Edinburgh is an undoubtedly beautiful city, but we struggled to convince G and M of that as we tramped our way up Castle Rock in the cold, sleety rain and rapidly darkening grey skies.
Despite our warm winter coats, hats, gloves and scarves, M got progressively colder and more miserable as we made our way between the different exhibits you can find within the Castle grounds. One of M's godmothers is married to a lovely military man and both children were keen to learn more about the various Scottish regiments in the regimental museum. First exhibit done, we acknowledged the need for a temporary break from the wintery weather and headed into the cafe, where we enjoyed hot drinks, some safe lunchtime food and were in place to hear the 1 o'clock gun salute.
Having warmed up enough to bring a smile back to M's face, we convinced them to traipse around a few more exhibits before we headed back down to the bus, stopping on the way for some dry wool socks and a brand new woollen hat for M. We had originally planned to stop at the Scottish Parliament, but the weather had quite literally put a damper on our travels and instead we completed a full loop and a half, before getting off and heading to the Hard Rock Cafe for an early supper.
However, the next day was almost a complete opposite to the day before and much to our surprise, M's yearning for a day at Edinburgh zoo was an absolute success, despite the lengthy queue to get in, as we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny and surprisingly warm spring day. G and M were particularly keen to see the pandas, but we also had great fun spotting the lions and tigers and watching the penguin parade. We didn't perhaps do all that we had wanted whilst we were in Edinburgh, but the children enjoyed the time we had there, even the snow, and would love to go back for another visit and the chance to see a bit more when it's not so cold.

Vespa World Days 2019 Were Held In Zanka, Hungary
Five thousand people from 40 nations attended the most important gathering of Vespa enthusiasts in the world.
And in 2020 the Vespa World Days will double down with two events: in Portugal and on the island of Bali, in Indonesia.
Zanka (Hungary), 10 June 2019 - The thirteenth edition of Vespa World Days has come to a close in Zanka, Hungary. This is the most important global gathering of Vespa Clubs which attracts Vespa enthusiasts from all over the world every year.
On the shores of Balaton Lake, it was three days of friendship, adventure and love for the most famous scooter in the world, a true symbol of Italian technology, elegance and style in the world.
More than 3,500 Vespa paraded through the streets of Zanka in every version and from every era, in attendance thanks to the 5,000 "Vespisti" who came from 40 different nations to represent as many National Vespa Clubs, obviously from all over Europe, but also from Hong Kong, Canada, Israel, Japan, The Phillipines, Australia and Indonesia.
And in 2020, there will be two Vespa World Days events: in Guimaraes, Portugal from 2 through 5 July, and in Bali, Indonesia, from 23 through 25 July.
The Vespa World Days are held every year under the auspices of the Vespa World Club, established in 2006, successor to what was once Vespa Club d'Europe and later the Federation Internationale des Vespa Clubs. Today Vespa World Days represents the celebration of the legendary Vespa, the unique scooter capable of transcending its function as an easy to ride and elegant vehicle, ideal for any daily commune, to become a truly international brand which embodies the universal values of youth, style and liberty.
Built entirely in steel from the beginning, all Vespa models - from the legendary first 1946 98cc, up to the current Vespa Primavera and Vespa GTS - have weathered the test of time, with millions still on the road all over the world, inspiring the phenomenon of Vespa Clubs and various associations. Restored, cared for and pampered, millions of Vespas have become beloved objects today, often passed down from father to son.
In almost seventy years of life, the Vespa has not "only" become the most popular and best-selling scooter in the world (more than 18 million Vespas have been sold on the five continents), but it has also established itself as a cultural phenomenon, uniting entire generations from countries and continents far from on another in a common passion.
Vespa and the love of its fans were practically born together, so much that many owners, as early as 1946, the year the scooter was born, formed associations: that's how the Vespa Clubs were born. There are now no less than 49 National Vespa Clubs associated with the Vespa World Club, which bring together thousands of members in every nation.

Check out what's new with our Scentsy Systems (warmers, diffusers, and Scentsy Go) for this Fall/Winter season. You've heard about our #ScentsyandDisney collaboration, but now it's time to talk about the rest of our beautiful Fall/Winter 2018 Catalog. The theme this season is "Feels Like Home," and it's a call to the Danish concept of Hygge*. There's not really a direct translation of Hygge into English, but you can think of it as the embrace of coziness, an appreciation of life's most important things, and the feeling of comfort. Scentsy aids in achieving peak "hygge" with ambient light, familiar and relaxing scents, and cuddly buddies. This catalog is available beginning Sept. 1, 2018.
*Check out more about living a Hygge lifestyle with this Pinterest board I've created here.
Crystal Ice: A bold iridescent blue warmer featuring a 40W Edison Bulb and reminiscent of of something glacial.
Open Plains: Perhaps the most unique Scentsy Warmer I've ever seen, this warmer is modeled after a longhorn cow skull.
Home Is Where My Dog/Cat Is: These Mini Warmers are so cute for your favorite animal love and they tie in perfectly with our Love Your Journey and Believe in Yourself warmers with their etched stone styling.
Three new diffusers shades are being released including the Prosper Shade at just $40! This is the first appearance of a diffuser shade at this price point in our catalog. Prosper features a metallic copper shade with scrawling leaf style cutouts. Also being released is Inspirit, a fun multi-colored, confetti inspired shade, and Renew, a frosted white shade with a soothing wave pattern. The full Diffuser + Base system will range from $120 to $150.
Along with the new lower-priced diffuser shade, a cool new Scentsy Go was unveiled. The Scentsy Go Solid looks and functions much like the original Scentsy Go, but does not have the 7-Color LED Lights or Eco Mode. It comes in white and lasts up to 10-hours – everything else is essentially the same, but it only costs $35!
In addition to the Scentsy Go Solid, four warmer wraps were unveiled that will work with all of our Gos. These interchangeable wraps feature vibrant designs that stick right on your Go.
Stay tuned for more Fall/Winter goodies in the coming days & head to the shop September 1st to stock up for the season!

City finalizes $11.125 million sale of Terminal 1 property to Lithia Motors, Inc.
(February 23, 2017) – More than 100 gallons of sewage spilled from a vactor truck when crews responded to a call yesterday afternoon on N. River Street near N. Albina Avenue.
Crews cleaned up the spill but an unknown amount of sewage soaked into the ground and an estimated 100 gallons traveled to a storm drain that discharges into the Willamette River.
Sewage release signs were placed to warn the public to stay out of the area. The public is advised to stay out of the area and to avoid contact with the Willamette River for 48 hours.
This sewage release is not related to Portland's combined sewer overflow control system.


"Withdrawal bharo!" (Fill a withdrawal!) muttered the cashier without even as much as an upward glance.
"Oye! Paise dey!" Insisted the gruff voice.
The teller looked up – straight into the barrel of a gun. At the other end of the gun stood a man in goggles, hat and trench coat. He looked as if he had stepped out of a B-grade film. Our local bank branch was having its first hold up.
One look at the chequered history of the years sieved by, reveal that these hills were no place for banks. It began in 1836 with the North-West Bank – a floating treasury of sorts – was set up for the convenience of government officers and their families.
But a manicured dandy had nothing to do with it. In Jharipani a splash was enough to christen Mossy Falls. Mr. Moss, the banker was out on a picnic when he missed a step, slipped and fell into the gurgling waters.
Of one of the early banks, it was said that those 'in the know' were not aware of a new client they accepted at so precarious a time. But to the everlasting shame of another bank, on the eve of its collapse it accepted the life savings of Rs. 64,000/- of an old man, causing him to die of a broken heart.
I am pretty sure my father's heart was not broken, with the failure of the Mansa Ram Bank in 1955. Not if you go by the stub of his old cheque-book. Balance? Rs. 30.
Lucky him! Luckier than the banker, Seth Chander Sain, who died of heart failure, days before his bank collapsed, saving him from certain ignominy. Unblemished from 1921, survives the Imperial Bank, a forerunner of the State Bank of India. Set up in 1955, it was housed on the Mall in the Himalaya Hotel. Look closely, you will find the perimeter fence has the legend BUI, when it was the Bank of United India Ltd. But the first floor railings are imprinted VI (Victotia Imperatrix or Empress Victoria) brimming with memories of the Great Delhi Durbar.
And what happened to our bank robber? Well! Loot in his swag bag, he jumped into his hired taxi, to be driven to the motor-road where he waved down a bus trundling to Dehra. Predictably, the local taxi-driver zipped straight to the nearest police station and the wireless started humming.
To this day, old timers at the toll-barrier will regale you with tales of the police waiting, convulsed with laughter as the bus arrived to disgorge one dumb fugitive.

Weekend Worship Service Opportunities
Saturday Night Service
If you're busy on Sunday mornings but still want to be a part of facilitating and hosting a Fellowship worship service, the Saturday night service could be perfect for you! The Saturday night service at HDC will involve all regular Sunday morning volunteer teams, like Kids, Greeters, Parking, etc. Check out the description for the team(s) you're interested in and sign up below!
Commitment: every other Saturday night.
Did you know we run full worship services every week for our kids ages 3 mos. to 5th grade? The Kids Team involves opportunities to check-in families, teach Bible stories, leads a kids' LifeGroup, and connect with parents. Click here to learn more about the Fellowship Kids ministry.
Commitment: one service every other Sunday.
Love is in the details. We believe at Fellowship that hosting people well is essential for creating a welcoming experience for new and regular attendees alike. The details of Sunday Mornings – from flowers to freshly cut donuts – all work together to make people feel cared for and valued. The Hospitality Team is for people who create safe and sacred spaces.
Perhaps the most important of all our teams, Set Up Team builds the space in which we experience Gospel-centered, multi-ethnic, intergenerational church every week. The mission and vision of Fellowship is lived out in the space that is created by the Set Up Team. This team is for goal-oriented, organized, strategic team players.
Commitment: morning set up every other Sunday.

Nothing says "we were hoping you'd be here" like a smooth parking system. Our Parking Team oversees arrival and departure from Fellowship to create welcoming and safe experience. The Parking Team is comprised of people who are friendly, direct, and patient.
Ushers help us communicate our heart for each person who walks into Fellowship: that they know there is a space prepared for them here. We believe this preparation communicates value and invitation to the people of Fellowship. Ushers are strategic, inviting, and warm communicators.
Smile and wave! We want every person who steps onto a Fellowship campus to feel welcomed and drawn near. Our Greeters are an important part of each Sunday as we strive to make Fellowship feel like family. Greeters are warm, engaging, and delight in meeting new people.
Need a Band-Aid? It's much easier to hear from God in a worship service if your physical needs are taken care of. Our First Aid Team helps provide healing aid in the case of an in-service health emergency. This team is for people with medical certification and experience.
The Production Team works behind-the-scenes to make the technical pieces of a worship service flow smoothly. This team covers everything from lyric slides to props to lighting to video. Our Sundays would be boring and ineffective without the Production Team!
The Volunteer Central Team creates and facilitates a space that welcomes and encourages our volunteers, both new and current. If you like the sound of supporting and celebrating our various Volunteer Teams, this is the spot for you!
Are you a skilled and experienced musician or singer? Have you ever served in musical capacity, perhaps at another church? We are looking for people with a heart for worship and service to join us as we continue to grow the Fellowship Worship ministry.
Commitment: varies by team assignment – Choir Practice is every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesday evening. Worship Team rehearses on Saturday mornings for one hour on their scheduled week.
Our photographers help tell the story of Fellowship and steer our visual brand by assisting primarily with shooting, image editing and asset management.

Commitment: varies by season, but no more than 1-2 Sundays per month.

Commitment: as-needed basis.
Racial Reconciliation
We believe that reconciliation is not an addendum to the Gospel, but one of the critical components of the Gospel. The Racial Reconciliation Team is for people who have a passion to see every nation, tribe and tongue experience the beauty of true unity in Christ. This Team encompasses a variety of roles that serve before, during or after our workshops, including volunteer coordination, set up and tear down, registration, hospitality, and workshop chaplains.

Experience the largest animal ever known to have lived on earth with this ANIA blue whale and her baby calf. The mother whale has exceptional detail throughout with two points of articulation in her tail and opening mouth.
Where do blue whales live: Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have lived on Earth and can be found in almost every ocean. They can measure up to 100 feet long and upwards of 200 tons. Their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant.
After about a year inside its mother's womb, a baby whale emerges weighing up to 3 tons and stretching to 25 feet. It gains about 200 pounds every day for its first year of life. The average life span of a blue whale in the wild is 80-90 years.

Now what is going on?
Some dead guy once said,"Announcing your plans is a good way to hear God laugh." Well every body likes a good chuckle, so lets see what we can get in to.
I am planing to post events, the odd video curriculum, maybe some how to things, and what ever people may find entertaining.
With the work I put in today planing I should be able to put a video out twice a week for a couple of months. I have three series almost ready to roll. One is the Tarot. One is how I work. One is meditation. I just had an idea on charms.

Annualised Hours Yields Flexibility
The press is full of stories about flexible working. Normally, flexible working is considered as moving to part-time hours, working from home or perhaps converting to job share. These are all seen as tools used by employees to maximise their own flexible working conditions. But what about other approaches? What about approaches that maximise the employer's flexibility?
There is one tool that gets overlooked. It's one that can really benefit both employee and employer – the introduction of annualised hours. Annualised hours contracts have been around for a long time.
Annualised Hours History
Some twenty-five years ago a large manufacturer in the South East attempted to introduce annualised hours in order to manage a predicted slump in business following a period of intense work. In this case, the intense period was expected to generate masses of overtime. The idea was that the overtime should be worked without overtime pay, and this benefit to the firm would be rewarded with normal monthly pay for the slump to come – even though the workers were on holiday, or working a reduced hourly week. The key element of the deal was that in return for no overtime pay in the busy period, there would be normal pay, lots of holiday and no redundancies in the slump.
The unions got involved and squashed the proposed change. They demanded that employees should be paid overtime as normal during the intense work period. For six months, overtime was needed and paid. Overtime was at an all time high. The order book in the following six months could not sustain the workforce. There was no work – 50 employees were made redundant as a result. The unions had taken the short-term view – a parochial view – and 50 of their members suffered.
Annualised hours would have saved the jobs and retained the production capability for the year after. Instead, both the firm and the workers were worse off.
Detailed Functioning
So, how does annualised hours work? Unlike zero hours contracts where employees are paid for the hours they work in a month, employees receive one twelfth of their salary every month. This is irrespective of the number of hours they work in that month.
Annualised hours works like this. Let's assume the 'normal' working week on which annualised hours is based is 35 hours. There are 52.143 working weeks in a year. At 35 hours a week, that means 1895 working hours per year. Assuming employees have 28 days holiday, that equates to 196 hours holiday. Therefore the hours to be worked in a year are 1699 (1895 minus 196).
These 1699 hours can then be used when the effort is needed. Examples of where annualised hours might be applied include seasonal work where the firm may need to take advantage of daylight hours or manufacturing work where there are huge peaks at certain times of the year.
Benefits of Annualised Hours
There are benefits in annualised hours to both employee and employer. The approach means that the employee has a regular income each month. This gives stability when managing their personal finances and applying for mortgages or renting homes. The employer can manage the volume of work without paying overtime or bringing in temporary workers. Periods of low activity can be managed without the need for lay-off and redundancy.
Making Annualised Hours Work
While the benefits are good for both sides, there are challenges in managing an annualised hours regime.
Both parties need to be clear about how hours are to be logged. The system should not allow employees to work significantly more or less hours in any year. More hours will require additional payments to be made to the employees, while fewer hours will require the employee to pay back the overpayment. The associated adjustments will be messy.
Another challenge is how to maintain contact with employees who may be away from work for long periods, paid but effectively on holiday. Annualised hours can create scenarios when employees don't work for several weeks at a time. This needs to be managed effectively to ensure capability is not lost.
There are also issues over what happens when an employee leaves the firm part way though the year.
Despite the challenges, the annualised hours approach to flexibility is an excellent way of building capability in a turbulent or seasonal market. It allows firms to effectively manage demand for effort that is not consistent across the year. Annualised hours provide more security for employees. The approach gives employees longer periods of down-time or holiday than they might otherwise have, whilst still enjoying a guaranteed salary each month.
Done properly, annualised hours is a very effective flexible working tool.
If you think annualised hours could be for you, but would like to discuss it with someone who has actually done it, call us now.

Rhubarb: A Love Affair
Get a taste of the 19th-century rhubarb obsession and whip up a simple rhubarb dessert at home.
bethdunn
The coronation of a new queen always unleashes a tidal wave of commemorative memorabilia, and Queen Victoria's crowning in 1837 was no exception. But amid all of the cheap mementos and tacky tchotchkes was a true standout—a startling new variety of rhubarb that was like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
That's right. Rhubarb.
Although this plain, unassuming vegetable had been a staple of British cooking for some time, it wasn't until 1837 that the plant truly took the English-speaking world by storm. In fact, the introduction of this quirky coronation commemorative marked the beginning of what would be a long and passionate love affair between the Victorians and rhubarb.
Rhubarb had been featured in pies, custards and fools for ages. But the plant didn't come without its problems. Poison, for instance. The broad, flat leaves are terribly poisonous, packed as they are with toxic levels of oxalic acid. And the edible stalks, though tasty enough when stewed with sufficient amounts of sugar, could still be stringy and tough, depending on growing conditions and other uncertain variables.
The introduction of the Victoria variety put a stop to all that. Victoria rhubarb was the rhubarb the 19th century had been waiting for. Easy to grow, reliably robust and consistently sweet and tender, Victoria rhubarb was a runaway smash hit from the start. And the Victorian obsession with rhubarb had truly begun.
They put rhubarb in everything. Jams, jellies, pies, custards, fools and puddings. And while rhubarb is generally treated as a fruit, it also made many popular appearances in recipes of the day as a savory ingredient, frequently paired with meats and cheeses in stuffings and sauces.
The cult of Victoria rhubarb soon took on mythic proportions, and even the harvesting of the plant was shrouded in mysterious and romantic overtones. It wasn't long before British farmers discovered that the sweetest crops were generated from the practice of "forcing" rhubarb—by cultivating it in complete darkness under carefully controlled conditions. Because any strong light could damage the plants, harvesting was conducted at night, by torchlight. This practice is still followed today, especially in the famed "rhubarb triangle" of West Yorkshire, which once supplied 90 percent of the world's sweet forced rhubarb.
Rhubarb enjoyed widespread popularity for about 100 years. But the expansion of trade that followed the World Wars introduced more competition, and eventually rhubarb fell out of favor, acquiring a reputation for being stodgy and old-fashioned. Only a few staunch supporters still included recipes for rhubarb pie in their cookbooks, and even then it was generally as a mere historical footnote.
But rhubarb is on the upswing again, and is now poised to make a comeback in the early decades of the 21st century. Yorkshire forced rhubarb now enjoys Protected Designation of Origin status: as with champagne and Stilton cheese, the name can only be applied to rhubarb that comes from the approved section of Yorkshire. And the ritual of harvesting by torchlight—in many cases using the very same cast iron torches that were used 150 years ago—is attracting more press and attention every year. Recipes are starting to crop up in fashionable cookbooks and magazines, and the old favorite of the Victorians is finally back in vogue again.
Fool is a traditional English dessert that was popular throughout the 19th century on both sides of the Atlantic. Simple to make and relatively healthy as desserts go, it generally consists a pureed fruit folded gently into a light, tart custard. This version calls for sweetened Greek yogurt and whipped cream in place of custard, which lends the dish a delightful tartness.
Start to finish: 2 hours
2 cups rhubarb, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
16 ounces Greek yogurt
Place the rhubarb in a pan with the sugar over low heat. Simmer, covered, until tender. Uncover, turn up the heat to medium and allow some of the juice to evaporate. Set aside and cool.
Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then carefully fold in the yogurt. Loosely swirl in the cooled rhubarb (you should still be able to see bright red streaks amid the pale white cream and yogurt mixture), and chill in refrigerator for at least an hour.
Serve in shallow dishes or glasses.
