Kio Kio or Kiokio is a rural community in the Ōtorohanga District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located just north-east of Ōtorohanga, on State Highway 3 between Ōtorohanga and Te Awamutu.

It is the location of the former Kiokio railway station on the North Island Main Trunk. Traffic at the station was "rapidly increasing" from 1913.

Kiokio is the Māori word for a number of a plant species, including the native fern Parablechnum novae-zelandiae.

Kio Kio has a rugby union club, which plays in the King Country league in red and black. In 2001, a club player was accused of wrenching and squeezing an opponent's testicle. In 2009, two club players, a club official and two club fans received lifetime bans from rugby union for attacking a referee and tough judge after the club lost the King Country Rugby Tournament.

A few months ago, there was a massive amount of news surrounding the oft-assumed merger of Chrome OS and Android into a new OS called Andromeda.
While we wrote extensively that we saw no real reason for this merger, rumors persist from time to time.
So do statements straight from Google SVPs, like Hiroshi Lockheimer. This latest is just another nail in the Andromeda coffin.
You can watch the whole episode of All About Android if you like; it is full of fun facts and cool things regarding the Android universe. But the part we're talking about starts right around the 26:00 mark (and we've queued it up at that point for you). Have a look and listen.
While this discussion is mainly about Android, this part at 26:00 is a direct question to Hiroshi about the merger possibilities and differences in Chrome OS and Android.
While Lockheimer hits on the different starting points for Android and Chrome OS, he quickly gets to the heart of the question and clearly states (again, honestly) that there is no merger.
He even goes on to say that it doesn't even make sense that the two would merge.
And when you consider it, really consider it for a second, he's right.
Consider that in Q1 of 2016 Chromebooks outshipped Macbooks in the US, there's a solid user-base already existing that has only grown over the course of the year.
Add to that the dominance in the education sector (Chromebooks make up over 50% of that market, more than all other OS's combined) and you have a lot of users invested in Chrome OS.
Now add Android, which holds a massive 88% market share globally, and you see why the idea of moving away from either of these platforms makes little sense whatsoever.
…all these rumors about merging these things (Chrome OS and Android)…for us, there's no point in merging them. They're both successful. We just want to make sure that both sides benefit from each other. So, that's why we brought the apps…Google Play from Android over to Chrome OS and then for instance, the update mechanism from Chrome OS to Nougat…You'll see a lot more of that happening, where we're sort of cross-pollinating, but not a merge.
So, once again we have the SVP over Chrome OS, Play, and Android (all the pieces in a supposed Andromeda merger) stating very clearly not only that there is no Andromeda merge happening, but also the fact that such a merge really makes no sense.
Chrome OS is here to stay, folks. If you are waiting around for a new, shiny operating system to show up, you may be waiting a long, long time. If you are a fan of the platform, rest easy. We're not going anywhere any time soon.

Kind of biased because most books are from the publishing company that he leads but since I have read 10 out of those 13 titles this year, it is still a great list to look at!
Great reading list! Just started reading #13 -- The Grace of God by Andy Stanley. I love how it is making an impact on me as well.
And another reading list worth sharing! I got 'Decoded' by Jay-Z for Robert on Christmas and we just started going through it. I cannot say I am a hiphop expert (because I'm not) but I have found myself really connected to a couple of songs in that genre in 2010. One them being 'Not Afraid' by Eminem. While a lot of Christians give a lot of grief to fellow believers who listen to hiphop, I love listening to a person's life story and being exposed to the kind of pain/suffering he went through.

During the mid-day Press Conference, some reporter asks a question that has been asked a million times in a million different ways. I reply in the time it would take a mouse to be squished by a cheese trap. Guess what, I am the mouse.
My answer is put on its first headline; I cannot believe the speed of this turn around. I hadn't even finished before the news spread to Twitter — I am trending worldwide.
Texts begin to fly into my phone from the few media personnel I interact with on a regular basis. A few tidbits here or there to a select journalist can be damaging if you don't plan accordingly. I always add "off the record" to any text I reply to; therefore, they can give their insight on the scenario and look like geniuses when the truth comes out.
A member of my party comes out with a quote, a guy I always thought of as a friend — more than a teammate.
Physical activity is the only thing that alleviates this stuff from my mind. I can't even go to the facility's gym without being swarmed by the media's wasps. I answer questions while I'm on the bike. Eventually, I click the stop button — on both the bike and the interview — and walk away.
I get a call from the businessman who has a lot invested in me and my leadership.
I hear the click of the phone; he hangs up faster than I can reply — another doubter to add to the list. I walk into the bathroom with a sticky note and a pen. The mirror is surrounded by multi-colored square pieces of paper. The only space showing is a small circle for my face and another for my wife's. My side has a hole no longer.
One of the media I graced by sending a text to, dishonors himself and tells the world what I said. Good thing I told him so little; I delete his number. I'm trending worldwide, again.
I sit down with my wife for dinner — chicken alfredo. Good choice if you want to sleep and skip talking during dinner. However, I don't escape this conversation.
"What happened today?" she asks with a hint of ginger and sunrise in her voice.
I receive a call from an important news anchor. He wants an interview; I politely decline. News breaks that I refused an interview because I was afraid of telling the truth. Now, I am two separate trending topics.
I attend a meeting with my various advisors. We talk about how I should handle myself tomorrow. I will face the hardest opposition I have faced in a long time. We lay out a strict game plan. I take the time to look around the room — these guys believe in me.
I walk in the front door and smell the tantalizing aroma of sugar cookies. My wife just pulled them out of the oven.
"I believe in you honey, no matter what," she says in a whisper that radiates of pure confidence.
I fall asleep to the evening news: horrible idea.
The next day, 12:00 p.m.
I step into the arena in which this battle will take place. My advisors and I go over the key points and address some pressing issues.
Come out with guns blazing — undeniably winning.
Giving up ground. The victory I felt and held in my hands, not even an hour ago, is leaking out of my grasp.
I tear my anterior cruciate ligament and my lateral collateral ligament.
I hobble into my bathroom; I can no longer see the walls.

If you would have asked me 25 years ago if my life would be anything like the way it is now I would have 'laughed-out-loud'. That's the funny thing about life though; it evolves, molds, and paves ways most of us wouldn't have chosen. I can say that I LOVE my life and I couldn't fathom a life any different than the one I am living. However, this life was given to me by many circumstances that was completely out of my husband's and my hands.
My husband has been a home builder for over 20 years. We have moved and started from scratch six times over the past 13 years. Starting from scratch isn't for the faint of heart. Packing, storing, keeping the houses 'show ready' and never being able to put down roots hasn't always been easy. We have lived in barns, fifth wheels, and campers while we would establish our property enough to live 'properly' in. My husband would joke and say that we were the 21st century pioneers. We have homeschooled for 10 of those years, making our 'moves' even more challenging, but we always managed to land on our feet. With each home we learned so much. Sure, I would dream that each home could be our last one but God grew the ability of detachment in me as it was all vanity. Through the years, we have learned to simplify our needs and to focus on our healthy lifestyle. The path that led me to study as a Holistic Practitioner was due to a few personal health issues and a very personal vaccine injury in my family. This really made me focus in on how I am raising my family and how I can help to improve their health. My main focus through the years has led me to live as natural and toxic-free as we can.
I am very happy to say that, Lord willing, we have found our final resting place and even though we are starting from scratch…..again, we are thrilled that we finally get to call a place "home". We have taken all the lessons over the past 20 years, downsized our dreams just a bit, and are fulfilling our current dreams that have been placed in our hearts. My husband, the provider, has worked very hard to allow us to live debt free. Me, the country hippie, animal lover, and garden dweller…well, I have the dream of running a year-round, organic-producing farm.
With that being said, I have put a list together of a few of my favorite things that I couldn't live without. Whether you live on a farm or not, these products have made my top ten list and I know you will love them too. These products have made our lives easier and healthier and I can't wait to share them with you.
The first product that I would be lost without is my NurtiBullet. This is a new product to me but it has changed my life. While studying to be a Holistic Practitioner, one of the key health points we learn about is the importance of REAL, raw, organic, nutrient-dense food. Smoothies have been a great way for my family to eat raw foods (and the kids don't always see what goes into those smoothies). Smoothies are also a great way to detoxify and help your body to run smooth.
This is a summer treat that my family absolutely loves. This product allows me to make a completely organic treat for my family. I don't have to worry about unwanted ingredients and harmful chemicals like Polysorbate 80. This is a toxic ingredient found in many ice creams. It has been shown to negatively affect the immune system, cause infertility issues, and it is also an ingredient found in some vaccines.
By making my own ice cream I don't feel guilty because I know exactly what is going into it. Yes, it is an occasional indulgence , so don't overindulge.
If you are a culinary extraordinaire (or at least you pretend to be), a hobbyist herbalist, or even just beginning to learn about how important herbs are, you are going to want to invest in a good mortar and pestle set. From muddling mint for mojitos to grinding dried pepper flakes, this set will be your best friend. Plus, it makes a killer guacamole.
Once you move to 'the other side' of toxic-free living, you will soon learn that you need to ditch the ever-so-popular, non-stick cookware. Yes, cast iron cookware does need some attention and love but they are worth it. If you think about how often you cook with contaminated cookware, it would be cheaper to buy a set of good cast iron and worth the maintenance to keep it nice than a heavy metal detox….and speaking of heavy metal detox…. if you're needing one, let's talk Cleansing Options.
I really shouldn't have to talk about the importance of good, clean water, but, alas….here we are. You should be consuming half your body weight in ounces of pure H2O every single day. If you're not, you are backing up one of your body's main elimation pathways. No…..coffee, tea (not even green tea), energy drinks, etc. do not count towards your daily ounces of pure H2O. City water treatment plants are not as healthy as you think. Depending on the level of chlorine, you might even think about putting a filter on your shower head to block out the chlorine. Heating chlorine is NOT your friend. We are blessed to have our own well drilled, but as soon as our living arrangements are finalized, this filtration system will be in place.
We are now living three months with no electricity except with the occasional treat that the generator gives us. I invested in a good coffee press right away. I only drink a cup a day and I make it super charged. Sitting outside, sipping on some coffee on warm summer mornings while overlooking our beautiful pond and thanking the Lord for another day is one of my favorite times of the day.
And, either a splash of organic half and half or coconut milk.
Talk about diffuser withdrawal while being off-grid. I run them when ever I can while we have the generator running. But, when we have permanent electricity, I do have a diffuser in every room. They have wonderful effects on our limbic system. They help support not only or physical needs but also our emotional needs. There are some tips and tricks to using EOs and diffusers. One thing most people do not know is to NOT over diffuse. We tend to think, the more the merrier. This is not the case with essential oils. You can become sensitized to them and actually develop an allergy to them.
If you need some EO education and support on how to use this wonderful modality, I would love to help.
Ditch your plastic and keep your food fresher, longer. Toxic plastic wrap, storage containers, and aluminum foil are no longer needed thanks to my washable Etee Wraps. I use them to wrap up sandwiches, cover bowls, and store food safely in the frigde.
100% Hand made and 100% all natural, organic, non-GMO.
This could have dominated my list of favorites so I combined them into a sub-category. I have had to learn a lot about running an organic farm and I am sure I still have LOTS to learn. The care and products my animals receive are very important to me. After all, they are giving us great nutrition in return.
Whether you are maintaining a parasite-free coop and stable or ridding parasites naturally, DE is one of my favorite products to have on hand. There are some health precautions to know about with handling DE. Make sure it is food grade. Do not inhale while dusting animals or the stable floors.
Silver is always with me. It is in my tack room ready for any occasion that I may come across, I recently was able to help a new chick that had developed some congestion with silver along with helping a badly injured leg from one of my does. When it comes to fighting off infection, this is my go-to product.
I never knew I could love a vacuum so much. This is a workhorse that can go from carpet to floor to couch with no conversion necessary. I love that it is cordless and can be converted to a handheld in seconds, which works great when I use it for the cars. Even my kids enjoy vacuuming because it literally takes minimal effort!
I am always on the lookout for new ways to make our lives simpler, healthier, and easier. What are your favorite must-have products that make your life easier, but healthier?
As always, I am here for any questions or health concerns you have. Feel free to email me and don't forget to follow me of FB, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.

If you're a coffee lover, you know that drinking coffee is a usually complex and nuanced experience. A few of the many things that draw an individual to coffee usually includes it's rich aroma, comforting warmth, and the loveliness of the ritual of sitting down with a fresh cup as you wake up in the morning. However, if you focus on the actual taste of coffee on your tongue, there's no getting around the fact that it's usually quite bitter, and bitterness isn't always the most appealing or sought taste.
Though, it turns out, the more sensitive people are to the bitter taste of caffeine, the more coffee they drink, reports a brand new study from Northwestern Medicine and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Australia. According to Northwestern Medicine and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institution, coffee lovers aren't less sensitive to the bitter taste; as you might have guessed, they're actually more sensitive to it, which had lead to a deeper research into the psychological reasoning behind the love for coffee – and the addiction it could cause. So, why do we like the bitter taste of coffee? Bitterness evolved as a natural warning system to protect the body from harmful substances. By all means, we should in theory want to immediately spit it out.
The study also discovered that those people who are sensitive to the bitter flavours of quinine and of PROP, a synthetic taste related to the compounds in cruciferous vegetables, generally avoided coffee. For alcohol, a higher sensitivity to the bitterness of PROP resulted in lower alcohol consumption, particularly of red wine.
"The findings suggest our perception of bitter tastes, informed by our genetics, contributes to the preference for coffee, tea and alcohol," Cornelis said. Though, interestingly enough, the study also found another discovery while researching other bitter tastes in tea and alcohol – the fact that coffee drinkers consume less tea. However, according to Cornelis, it is likely purely because they're drinking more coffee instead.
For the study, scientists applied Mendelian randomisation, a technique commonly used in disease epidemiology, to test the causal relationship between bitter taste and beverage consumption in more than 400,000 men and women in the United Kingdom. The genetic variants linked to caffeine, quinine and PROP perception were previously identified through genome-wide analysis of solution taste-ratings collected from Australian twins. These genetic variants were then tested for associations with self-reported consumption of coffee, tea and alcohol in the current study.
A recent report in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research by a group of scientists from Rome also explored the possibility that coffee's addictive properties also involve the brain's marijuana-like neurotransmitter system. The idea was first touched on when Scientists first discovered that coffee stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine which produces the euphoria and pleasant feelings that people often associate with their first cup of coffee in the morning. Interestingly, many drugs that produce euphoria, such as cocaine, amphetamine and ecstasy.


Mr Gandhi, 47, who arrived in the US yesterday on a two-week-long tour, addressed students at the University of California, Berkeley, to reflect on contemporary India and the path forward for the world's largest democracy.
Demonetisation imposed a devastating cost on India, Rahul Gandhi alleged.
Washington: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic policies, accusing him of causing "tremendous damage" to India's economy with "reckless and dangerous" decisions like demonetisation and "hastily-applied" GST.
He said the November 8 demonetisation decision was taken without asking the Chief Economic Advisor and Parliament, which caused tremendous damage to the economy.
Demonetisation, he alleged, imposed a devastating cost on India. "Ignoring India's tremendous institutional knowledge and taking such decisions is reckless and dangerous," he charged.
He said 30,000 new youngsters were joining the job market every single day and the government was only creating 500 jobs a day. "This does not include the massive pool of already employed youngsters," he said.
"The decline in economic growth today is leading to an upsurge of anger in the country. The government's economic policies demonetisation and hastily-applied GST have caused tremendous damage," he alleged.
Goods and Services Tax, a tax regime which combines all of India's states and union territories into a single market, was launched at midnight on June 30.
Mr Gandhi also accused the government of wiping out millions by demonetisation. "Millions of small businesses were simply wiped out as a result of the demonetisation, farmers and many who use cash were hit extremely hard. Agriculture is in deep distress and farmers suicides have skyrocketed across the country."


The transiting North Node brings fated growth and new opportunities in the area of life represented by the sign it is moving through—and it will be transiting through the nurturing, feminine sign of Cancer from November 7th, 2018 until June 5th, 2020. It is also important to note that because we are dealing with the eclipse points, we may not be able to clearly see the events that unfold due to the influence of the nodes as important information may remain "eclipsed" and outside of our conscious awareness until later on down the line, often producing unexpected long-term results. In Cancer, women, families, motherhood, the home, real estate will all become a focal point of new growth and we will be embarking on a new, collectively fated path as it relates to these themes. The north node in Cancer will also enhance our collective desire to seek emotional and physical safety, security and comfort. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we'll be dealing with a karmic unraveling of the collective Capricornian structures with the south node transiting through this Saturn ruled sign. For the next 18 months, on both a global and individual level we'll be releasing attachments to rigid structures, rules, and responsibilities. Capricornian institutions such as government, corporations, and the Saturnian "corporatocracy" will come under huge amounts of scrutiny, ultimately leading us to surrender our collective attachments to old, outdated ways of dealing with this energy.
Quick Reference and General Overview of Lunar Nodes in Cancer/Capricorn for Each Rising Sign/House.
With the North Node transiting your 4th house, now is an ideal time to lay down roots. Endeavors involving the home, real estate, family, and emotional security are all favored throughout the next 18 months. Now is a time when you may be called to let go of something regarding to your career and refusing to relinquish control can result in your public reputation taking a bit of a hit. This doesn't mean that you can't continue to work or maintain career success and status; it just means that you must make sure your family affairs are in order first and foremost. This transit marks a period of time when worldly ambitions take a back seat in favor of deepening comfort, emotional stability and connection to family.
With the North Node transiting your 3rd house, it's all about communication. Now is a time to put plans into action. If you work in the field of marketing or communication, or if you own your own business, the next eighteen months will provide ample opportunity to communicate more creatively and forge stronger connections with your audience and your community. Over-philosophizing your approach can lead to a rigid delusion of moral-superiority which alienates those you aim to connect with on an emotional level. Sticking to the facts, communicating your intentions very clearly and coming from a place of empathy and emotional connectedness is the aim of the game.
With the North Node transiting your 2nd house, now is an excellent time to focus on accumulating resources and material wealth; however, with the South Node transiting your 8th house, be careful to insure those resources are not obtained at another's expense. Now is a time to earn the comfort and security you desire through your own effort and hard work, and to do so intuitively. If you've been struggling with debt, these next eighteen months provide an opportunity to release all ties to rigid Capricornian entities who hold financial power over you. Now is not the time to borrow money from others as doing so can bog you down and prevent you from enjoying the material pleasures you so strongly desire.
With the North Node moving into your sign, these next 18 months are all about YOU. Now is the time to start focusing on your own needs and self-interest, and to let go of caring so much about what other people think about what you're doing. The South Node may require you to let go of attachments to certain responsibilities in relationships, but if this is the case just know that you are making space for fated (and strangely familiar) new connections to come into your life.
With the North Node in your 12th house, fated events may pull you away from the busy-ness of everyday life and into a space of solitude, contemplation and rest. These next eighteen months are an ideal time to escape from reality to go inward. Opportunities to escape the day-to-day hustle may present themselves and can provide exciting new opportunities to connect with deep forms of creativity and enhance your intuition. This transit favors deep, introspective work over external, work-related activities.
With the North Node transiting your 11th house, these next eighteen months mark a time when you'll be called to socialize and develop new friendships. The key here is to merge with group consciousness in a way that feels comfortable and nurturing. Fated, familiar-feeling connections to new friends and social networks may show up to assist you in moving into a new path. This energy favors nurturing the group over focusing your own hobbies, passions, and romantic life, as well as letting go of old, rigid parameters placed around your creativity and play time.
Moving forward (or maybe a bit sideways, with the North Node in Cancer) into a fated new direction when it comes to your career and public reputation, all the while letting go of past karma that's holding you back in the area of your home, family, property and ancestral lineage. The North Node in your 10th house can have you exploring new career paths or diving even deeper into the path you have already chosen. Too much focus on the home, family, and real estate dealings can bog you down and prevent you from making the connections needed to further your career growth.
The North Node in Cancer has you moving into fated and uncharted territory when it comes to your philosophical, religious and moral belief systems. These next 18 months will be an excellent time to embark on an exciting new journey of both internal and external discovery. Don't allow yourself to be bogged down by the "busy-ness" of mundane, routine communications and let go of old, rigid patterns of thinking to make space for these new developments in your life.
The North Node moving into your 8th house will bring fated, transformative new developments in the area of deep healing, self-empowerment and other people's finances, but there's a need to let go of some attachment to material possessions (or your need to work hard for them) in order for this to occur. For some, this transit could bring financial turbulence, for others a financial windfall, and for the rest, something somewhere in between.
Now is a time when you will gravitate more toward partnerships, romantic and otherwise. Going it alone may feel safe and comfortable, but now is not the time to focus solely on oneself and the pull toward relationships and marriage may feel overpowering. For those who are already in a committed long-term relationship, now may be a time when you're pulled more deeply into partnership. If the relationship is meant to be, this transit may bring more romance, fun and intimacy. If the relationship is a bit stale or simply isn't right, you may catch yourself looking for a sense of security and emotional connection elsewhere. Whatever the situation may be, take care to account for the needs of the people you care for most in your life and work on expressing your love and appreciation in a more nurturing way.
With the North Node transiting your 6th house, now is the time nurture your daily health and work routines. Shying away from work in favor of solitude and spiritual discipline is not advisable at this time and may very well be self-destructive. Over these next 18 months, you will undergo a process of releasing the tendency to retreat into rigid, subconscious patterns. Physical healing can come about as a result of emotional work and more gentle and supportive daily health habits. The North Node's transit through the 6th house is all about diving headfirst into our daily routines that make up the bigger picture in pursuit of our long-term career goals. It's about the day-to-day efforts we put in, but pace yourself and try not to become overwhelmed by doing too much all at once.
With the North Node in Cancer transiting your 5th house, you'll be pulled into a new path when it comes to nurturing your inner child. Externally, there can be exciting, fated new developments involving children, romance and play. Focusing too much energy on the rigid, limiting opinions of your friends and networks will bog you down and prevent you from developing your creative gifts. You may find that you're cutting cords when it come to old, burdensome friendships all the while new, fated (and oddly familiar) connections are funneling into your life.
Transiting Eclipses can bring wonderful (and fated) gifts, but do be aware that projects, relationships, and events initiated within 3 days of an eclipse almost never turn out the way you believe they will. There will typically be a lot a turbulence surrounding such events, but the end result will ultimately be what you need so long as you are able to surrender any expectations and let go of the need for control.
Occur when the New Moon is in conjunction with the North or South Node. When in conjunction with the North Node types of eclipses are primarily about new beginnings, when in conjunction with the South Node, the focus is more on surrender, loss and letting go. Total and Annular Solar Eclipses have the strongest impact. Living in a location where the eclipse is visible also increases the influence.
Occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposition (Full Moon) and in conjunction with the North and South Nodes. These types of eclipses represent a culmination point and a coming back into balance between the two areas of the chart being impacted. The general energy and impact of a Lunar Eclipse is strongest as a Total Lunar Eclipse, aka Blood Moon. Living in a location where the eclipse is visible (occurring at night in your location) also increases the influence.
This partial solar eclipse is visible from locations in north Pacific and northeast Asia, including Beijing, Irkutsk in Russia, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo.
This total solar eclipse will be visible from small parts of Chile and Argentina just before sunset. Some regions in the Pacific and in South America, including locations in Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay will see a partial solar eclipse.
This eclipse will be visible throughout much of Europe, Much of Asia, Australia, Africa, South/East North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica.
Eclipse will be visible East in Europe, Much of Asia, North/West Australia, East in Africa, Pacific, Indian Ocean.

Mallon grants final planning permission for Casement Park stadium
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon has today granted final planning approval for the new stadium at Casement Park.
As a result, the Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) will be able to build a new 34,578 capacity stadium on their existing site on the Andersonstown Road, Belfast.
Minister Mallon said: "This is an historic day for the GAA in Ulster and for Gaels across our island.
"Last October I announced my intention to grant planning approval and I am delighted that all the statutory processes have now been completed to make that decision official and allow the Ulster Council of the GAA to proceed with their development plans.
"This has been a long and complex process, predating my time as Minister, however we must now move forward and see progress on the ground, progress that will bring many sporting, social and economic benefits not just to West Belfast but right across the city and beyond.
"This will be fantastic news for the GAA family across Ulster and Ireland, particularly with the Ulster Final taking place this Sunday. Here's to an exciting Ulster final and many memorable games to come in a new state-of-the-art stadium in Casement, now that the GAA is to finally have the home it deserves in Ulster."
Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey has said her department will be working at pace to deliver a new stadium at Casement Park following the completion of the planning approval process.
The Minister said: "When I first came into office last January, the first visit I made was to Casement Park and I said then that delivering the project was one of my key priorities.
"As someone who played in Casement as a young Gael, I believe it's been too long from we've had games in Casement Park.
"We've been waiting on planning to move this project on, I'm glad to say we have now got that decision and I am even more determined to deliver this stadium.
Minister Hargey explained: "A modern, fit-for-purpose Casement Park stadium will support the development of Gaelic games from the grassroots up. The Ulster Council of the GAA, Antrim GAA and the community of west Belfast will not be the only beneficiaries of this significant project; it will have far reaching economic, social and health impact for Belfast and beyond.
"Over the coming weeks I will be working closely with our stadia programme board, the UCGAA, the Department of Finance and the Executive to ensure that the Full Business Case for the redevelopment of Casement Park progresses at pace.
"This investment will be a major boost for Belfast and the wider economy. It will also provide a safe place for children, young people and Gaels to exercise, train and play Gaelic games – which will be crucial for mental health and general physical wellbeing as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic.
"It's time to get Casement Park built!
The project is a commitment in the New Decade, New Approach agreement and its construction will complete the Regional Stadia Programme following the redevelopment in 2013 of Kingspan, home to Ulster Rugby and the Windsor Park Stadium in 2016.

Abstract: Considering the critical role of nationalized banks in India's economic transformation, there is a need to replace the present piecemeal approach to innovation by a systemic approach similar to that underlying the setting up of R&D departments in manufacturing organizations. In this article, Deepti Bhatnagar proposes a model consisting of three stages with a corporate unit to continuously scan for ideas. The three stages of the model are the idea generation stage, the development stage, and the implementation stage. She delineates, for each stage, personnel and structural requirements and suggests mechanisms for minimizing resistance to change.

A Few Things Friday – Bows!!
I don't want to bore you with a bunch of random bow nonsense, so I'll keep this short!
I didn't really get into bows until my freshman year of college. One day I decided to make one, and I haven't stopped making them since!
Whenever I see bows and bow quotes on Pinterest, I just have to pin them!
I love this quote! It holds true for a lot of my crafts!! Whenever there is an empty space, I try to fill it with a bow!
Bows just add so much to a project! Don't you think?!
If you want one of these adorable hats, follow this link!
I found this on Pinterest a while ago, and I think it's hilarious!! I don't quite believe what this picture says but it's funny nonetheless!
I typically wear bows on the back of my head, which according to the picture means I'm not interested in men!
I guess I should start wearing bows on the top of my head to ensure I'm sending out the right message! The only problem with that is, I don't have very thick hair so I might look a little ridiculous! Oh well!!
Do you love bows too?! How do you wear your bows?! Do these definitions hold true for you?!


I had a short easy run on the schedule yesterday, so I thought this was a good time to review the Milestone Pod that my sister got me for Christmas. I had no expectations, because I had never heard of the product, but I was excited to try it out. More and more gadgets are being designed to give runners feedback on form. They all sound good in theory, but I had two questions. The first, is the data accurate? Second, is the data really useful?
The Milestone Pod's setup was very easy. You download the app to your phone, and atttach the pod to your shoe. I can't remember exactly how I told the pod to connect the app, but whatever I did worked perfectly. There is nothing to do after that. You just wear the shoe and press sync in the app after your runs.
After the first run, I noticed that the distance did not coincide with my Garmin. There was a pretty easy process for calibrating, so I did it. The distance is still off, but it is closer.
Yesterday's run had a little bit of everything, including hiking. I walked a few downhills and stopped my Garmin. My pace was 9:14. The running distance was 4.93. The elevation chart follows.
The pod recorded my total distance as 5.04. The distance isn't too far off.
Foot strike appeared pretty accurate. If you would have asked me before using the pod, I would have said that I was a forefoot striker (mid-toes).
Cadence seems pretty accurate. It tells you that you should be aiming for 180. I know that my cadence is high, and it shows a cadence consistently above 180.
I knew that my ground contact score should be poor if the pod worked correctly, and the score wasn't good. The app said that elites were below 200. Exactly what 200 measures, I have no idea, but my score is usually about 221. Today it was 223. I signed up through the app for hints about how to improve. Though the device reconfirmed an area of weakness, but the "hints" are useless. Today's hint was to jump rope.
My rate of impact (defined as how quickly force is transferred from the ground to your leg) is consistently regarded as good. Good is defined as "low." I was surprised that my rate of impact was good given that my ground contact score is bad.
My leg swing score is inconsistent. High is better. Sometimes, I'm high. Sometimes, I'm low. My effort to influence the score has no affect at all. You would think that leg swing would be the easiest score to improve, but I'm having no luck. Today, it was high, but that is not always the case.
My stride length stays around the same number. My guess is that my stride length is not great, but doesn't the length of my legs come into play? I'm pretty short. I don't think the app ever asked for my height. The app does not give a value for "good" or "bad" as related to stride length. It just reports the length in inches.
My runefficiency score ranges from 81-92. The app tells me that 100 is the best possible score, but it doesn't give me a way to value a score of 81 or 92. Today it was 91.
There are graphs to look at the data in 6 of the categories over the the course of one run or an average of the past 13 runs. There is also a button to excludes or includes walking. Why would I want to include walking? Either I would want all walking or all running.
Overall, I believe that the pod's data is fairly accurate. How useful it is to me is a different story. I don't know how to work on improving areas of weakness. I don't find the hints very helpful. Also, there isn't much information as to how to put a value judgement on a particular piece of data other than giving you the highest score available. Finally, the pod didn't tell me much that I didn't know.
I find running data interesting. I like to look at the charts, but I can't say the data particularly helps me right now, though I can imagine situations where the data would be valuable--like if I were really concentrating on improving some specific aspect of my form or it I had a trainer. When I start my speed work, next week, I'm going to move the pod to my speed shoe and see if there is any difference in the data. A runner who loves data will like this little pod. I like it, even though I'm not sure how helpful it really is.

Obama snubbed at his arrival in China
When President Obama arrived in China for the G-20 summit, he was not met by any Chinese leaders, was given no red carpet, and had no welcome delegation. In fact, he had to emerge from the plane from the cargo door.
Someone at the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), tweeted a short message that says it all:
A sarcastic tweet aimed at China and posted on the US Defense Intelligence Agency's Twitter account has fuelled a row over protocol at the G20 summit.
The tweet, which was quickly deleted, read: "Classy as always China".
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-37269719
The DIA quickly deleted the Tweet and Obama himself tried to downplay the incident in order not to be humiliated in public.
When President Barack Obama arrived in Hangzhou there was no red carpet and he had to leave by a different plane exit.
There was also a row on the tarmac when a Chinese official shouted "This is our country!" as reporters and US officials tried to bypass a cordon.
President Obama called on reporters "not to over-crank the significance"….
American reporters who travelled to the summit with President Obama from Hawaii said that Chinese security guards prevented them from watching the president disembark from the belly of the plane - something normally only done on high-security trips to places like Afghanistan - because there was no red carpet welcome…
The South China Morning Post on Sunday reported an official as saying that China provides red carpets to welcome every arriving state leader, "but the US side... turned down the proposal and insisted that they didn't need the staircase provided by the airport".
More tensions between the two sides broke out at the West Lake State House, where Mr Obama met President Xi Jinping.
White House aides, protocol officers and Secret Service agents became embroiled in a row with Chinese officials as to how many Americans should be allowed into the building before Mr Obama's arrival. At one point there were fears the confrontation could become physical, the New York Times reported.
The president pointed out that this was not the first time there had been tension with the Chinese over security and news media access during his travels.
"But this time," he said, "the seams are showing a little more than usual."
There are many ways that countries diplomatically show their disapproval of the actions of foreign leaders. This is probably the most displeasure that China has ever shown to an American president. It shows just how unpopular he is in China, and also how tensions have arisen sharply, though much of it remains unreported.

The June Lineup Of Free Games Was Just Announced For PlayStation Plus Members
Credit: PlayStation Access via YouTube
If you have a PlayStation Plus membership, you already know how great of value it is. You have access to incredible savings, and more importantly, free games every month. The free lineup of games for June was just announced, and there are some great titles to add to your collection.
First up is Sonic Mania. This fantastic platformer pays homage to the Sonic games of old. It features modern mechanics, though, to make things a little more current from a gameplay perspective. A side-scrolling display gives you a retro feel, taking you back to the simpler times.
There are three playable characters, including Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. You'll be doing a lot of spinning, dashing, jumping, and even flying in this latest title. It released back in 2017 for the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Despite having a simple design and graphics, it's still worth checking out. It will take you back to the 16-bit era of gaming.
Also included in this June free lineup is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. This is an incredible value given that you're getting two action RPGs for free. The pack includes Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Both are great games full of content and epic storylines.
If you've never played a Borderlands game before, there's a lot to love with this series. First and foremost, looting for amazing guns is so addicting. You're on the constant hunt for bigger and better weapons. They take some time to collect, but when you do, they're so satisfying to shoot at enemies.
In addition to the addicting gameplay, you'll fall in love with the Vault Hunters. They are beautifully designed and have a lot of depth in terms of their personality. Each possesses unique skills and special abilities. It's fun to play through the game with one character and run it back with another. In this way, both of these Borderlands games have great re-playability.
The latest installment, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, takes place directly after the events in the original Borderlands. It builds upon what made Borderlands 2 so successful. Per usual, there are so many great guns to collect and intimidating enemies to take out. You'll be hooked from the very start.
It's amazing to see PlayStation offer such great titles for free. If you don't have a PlayStation Plus membership, you can expect great titles like these on a consistent basis. You'll also save a bunch of money.

The Rylands Haggadah, detail, 14th century. Manuscript illumination, John Rylands Library, Manchester, England.
This miniature image of Moses and the burning bush is a section of a page taken from the Rylands Haggadah, an illuminated manuscript created in the mid-14th century in Spain. It is considered to be a masterpiece of medieval art. The Hebrew word haggadah means "telling," and a Jewish Haggadah, used at a Passover seder, tells the story of the flight of the Jews from Egypt as recounted in the book of Exodus.
In the narrative of the burning bush, Moses is tending his sheep when he sees a fire coming from a bush. When Moses approaches the flame, he hears the voice of God, which instructs him to go to the pharaoh and demand permission to lead the Israelites out of slavery in the land of Egypt.

Thomas Clarkson Academy achieves Good Ofsted grading»
Thomas Clarkson Academy achieves Good Ofsted grading
For the first time ever, Thomas Clarkson Academy has been awarded a Good Ofsted grading in a report that focused on the quality of leadership, positive relationships between staff and students, a curriculum 'that helps pupils to succeed' and a Sixth Form 'where students have the support required to be successful.'
The judgement, after a two-day inspection in January, says that the school is 'unrecognisable' compared to a few years ago and 'parents and carers, pupils, staff and members of the community comment on the positive changes at the school.'
The Academy received good grades in all five key areas inspected.
Inspectors found that leaders have made 'substantial improvements' to the quality of education and have 'high expectations' of all pupils, providing 'effective support' for those with social, emotional and mental health needs. The report said: 'The school is well led. The dedication of leaders and governors to the school, the pupils and the local community is impressive … Leaders work hard to engage parents and gain the confidence of the community' and 'work effectively' with external agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
The report notes that 'teachers' subject knowledge is strong in many subject areas, particularly in maths and English', and the curriculum is 'ambitious' for those with special educational needs or the disadvantaged. The range of extracurricular activities was also highlighted, along with careers advice and guidance as 'almost all Year 11 pupils move on to further education, employment or training.'
The Sixth Form received praise with students valuing 'the distinctiveness of the sixth form while still feeling part of the school community … Students' attitudes are very positive. They maintain a strong focus on their studies.'
Pupils feel safe and well supported in school and are known as individuals by staff. Inspectors said that 'relationships between staff and pupils are very positive' and 'staff increasingly motivate pupils to work hard and try their best … Staff have high expectations of pupils' conduct … know their pupils well and can spot potential safeguarding concerns.'
From left: Richard Scott, Anne Hill and Dr Andrew Campbell.
Principal Richard Scott said: 'I'm over the moon that the community of Wisbech has a good state school for the first time in its history - a school that people can be proud of. This is a fantastic achievement and it is confirmation of the hard work by all the staff and students at TCA, with support from parents and the local community. It reflects our shared ethos that every single young person in Wisbech has the right to a good education delivered by their local school.
'We are beginning to have a significant impact on the lives of young people in this town and that is something which will continue. One of the things I am most proud of is that inspectors recognised the positive relationships between students and staff. I am also pleased that the number of parents who would recommend TCA has now more than doubled. We have benefited from invaluable support from the Brooke Weston Trust and from Executive Principal Anne Hill.'
Secondary Executive Principal Anne Hill said: 'The Good Ofsted judgement for Thomas Clarkson Academy has been hard-fought and hard won by Richard and the TCA staff who have tirelessly devoted hours of expertise to improving the school and the fortunes and aspirations of its students, a journey which I began as its Principal in 2016. I am so proud that Thomas Clarkson Academy has been recognised for the massive transformation achieved in just a few short years.'
Brooke Weston Trust CEO Dr Andrew Campbell said: 'We are absolutely delighted with this judgement, which demonstrates the incredible progress that has been made.
'I'd like to pay tribute to the huge talent and determination of all the staff, especially Richard Scott and Anne Hill, whose vision, determination, commitment and leadership has taken Thomas Clarkson Academy to a level never before seen in its long history.
'I'd also like to thank staff from across the Trust who have offered their expertise, particularly when Thomas Clarkson Academy joined our family of schools and needed support and professional intervention. They, and many others, shared our ambitious vision of what the school could, and should become.
'This level of performance and success at Thomas Clarkson Academy has come about only through an unrelenting commitment to improve. I'd like to thank partners, such as the County Council, Local Authority, District Council, politicians and supporters who all shared our faith and vision in wanting this school to succeed and be a hugely positive force. This is undoubtedly a 'Good' day for Thomas Clarkson Academy and an equally a good one for the town of Wisbech itself.'
Principal Richard Scott with many of the talented and dedicated members of his staff, who are all delighted at the Good Ofsted judgement.

Q: RecyclerView adapter's method holder.getAdapterPosition() get wrong values after scrolling I'm using a RecyclerView to show a list of TextViews. I want the TextViews in positions 0,1,2,3 and 4 to have a colored square. This is my code:
   @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(final ViewHolder holder, int position) {

        holder.mItem = mValues.get(position);

        if(holder.getAdapterPosition()==0) {

            holder.lytColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(255, 201, 8));

        } else if(holder.getAdapterPosition()==1) {

                holder.lytColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(242, 157, 32));

        }else if(holder.getAdapterPosition()==2) {
            holder.lytColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(177, 134, 66));

        }else if(holder.getAdapterPosition()==3) {

            holder.lytColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(123, 102, 72));

        }else if(holder.getAdapterPosition()==4){
                holder.lytColor.setBackgroundColor(Color.rgb(77,72,69));

        }
   }

It works:

The problem is that when I scroll down other TextViews also have colors:

I've used Log.e("test", getAdapterPosition()) to see the position, and it showed the expected value, the item's position in the ArrayList.
In my cellphone it follows the next pattern: 5 colored, 10 colorless, 5 colored, 10 colorless...
I've tested the app in other cellphone with a bigger screen and the pattern changes, 5 colored, 13 colorless, 5 colored, 13 colorless...
So I assume that the number of items that can be displayed on the screen is related to the problem.
PS: I've already tried using position parameter
Any suggestions?

A: Yes you are right! Position in the adapter will recycle it's in adapter's nature.
What you can do is take one variable in your model let's say colourId. Than assign the value to it when you add to the list. Say for example colourId = 1,2,3 and so on.
and get that value in the adapter like below
mValues.get(position).getCoulourId();

than Apply your if conditions on that value.

Considering the imminent risks with the transportation storing and operation of the chlorine gas cylinders for the population around the environment and for the operators, EMBASA of Simôes filho/BA needed to find a solution that it would replace the chlorine gas at the same time reducing operational costs. It was essential that the new technology was in accordance with the standards stablished by the health department for water destined for human consumption.
The client chose to lease the Hidrogeron electrochlorinator that has capacity to produce 150kg/330lbs day of active chlorine. EMBASA will also have complete support and technical assistance from the Hidrogeron technical assistant team.
Cristal global of Samari/BA was looking for solutions to realise the disinfection and total eradication of the color coming from the organic matter and the iron oxidation, that way reducing the formation of by-products in the water treatment station. And also reducing the risks associated with the operation in the plant. It was also necessary to operate and store the 900kg/1980lbs chlorine gas cylinders.
With the risk management program, the on-site hypochlorite generator was chosen to be used in the treatment, precisely for being a solution that reduces drastically the risks associated with chemicals. Thereby a 200kg/440lbs on site generator was installed on the water treatment plant.
Elimination of risk associated with handling of chlorine gas.

Nasa scientists have told government's that a simple cut in worldwide emissions of soot could lead to a dramatic reduction in the effects of global warming, as well as preventing hundreds of thousands of deaths from air pollution.
Soot contains black carbon, thought to be the second largest cause of global warming after carbon dioxide. Whilst airborne, it it spread around the globe by wind, heating the atmosphere by absorbing and releasing warmth from the sun's rays. When it falls to the surface it also darkens snow and ice in polar regions or high mountain ranges, further reducing the Earth's ability to reflect solar radiation.
Cutting soot emissions has a virtually instantaneous effect since it disappears rapidly from the earth's atmosphere, unlike CO2, which can linger for hundreds of years.
The NASA study, carried out by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, was published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. It predicts that slashing soot emissions would provide "substantial benefits for air quality while simultaneously contributing to climate change mitigation" and "may present a unique opportunity to engage parties and nations not yet fully committed to climate change mitigation for its own sake".
As actions to tackle climate change reach a critical stage this year, with tough negotiations planned on the next phase of the Kyoto protocol, the NASA strategy could emerge as a welcome option for many government's, wary of reducing emissions in other ways for fear of damaging economic growth or recovery.
