The school is "giving us back" our two unused flood days this Memorial Day Weekend.
Today is one of them. Next Tuesday is the other.
Everyone is scrambling to find some way of taking care of kids on the extra days when kids are off but parents aren't.
This afternoon our kid is going to his friend's house for the afternoon. Tuesday, his friend will be here most of the day.
That cuts things down to just one day on either end for each family.
The whole idea that you can get emergency days back at the end of the year is foreign to me.
When I was in school, I remember it going the other way. The school built a few snow emergency days into the calendar. I think I remember they planned on five. If snow days went unused, tough. If there was more snow, extra days got tacked on at the end of the year.
Somehow, school used to be out on June 4. Here, the last day isn't until June 25.
I suppose it all comes out about the same, one way or another.
Which begs the question, why did they bother to change it?
Silas ordered a Power Rangers helmet on Ebay a while ago. It "only" cost $3. But after he'd clicked "Buy Now" we realized that it was $3 plus $39 shipping and handling.

Q: TKinter App with SQLite - Pagination Page is not always loading images properly THANK YOU -
First of all I´d like to say thank you to the community because as a newbee it was hard to get my first app to work. But now it does and that's because here I found so much helpful answers!
Mille Grazie.
THE APP -
My app organises my small parts collection in the workshop.
In an SQLite database all Metadata is stored like: Box Numbers, Shelf and Rack Numbers, Descriptions of what is in the Boxes.
All Images are stored in a Folder on the OS.
In the Database I only save the Paths to the Images.
THE PROBLEM -
When I do a Search I get the Results in a Pagination Window displaying only 5 Matches.
You can klick NEXT to see the next 5 Matches.
But sometimes not all Pictures are loaded properly. Some Frames stay blank sometimes.
Then you klick NEXT - and - BACK and then they are there.
I´m sure the Problem is that my Computer can´t load all the images always quick enough.
THE QUESTION -
Is there a way in TKinter to make the Program check if an Image was properly displayed before proceeding with the next one?
This is the desired view with all Images loaded:

But sometimes it looks like this:

Q: ActiveAdmin: load and use models from other engine doesn't work I followed the guide in the wiki to use my models from my engine in my main-app with active admin.
The only thing I must change (that doesn't mentioned in the wiki) was this:
if defined?(ActiveAdmin)
  ActiveAdmin.register Blog::Category do
  end
end

I just added: Blog::.
In my engine "Blog" I added a model named "category" with a name:string attribute. But when I add one in active admin the field name wasn't saved in the database. My request parameters are:
{"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"PzKDTcoJZ6Sy2tXgw9WSwXiR7aZp81lOtBvfD5Ec3F72H5L7MEMLjlOFgKWQBo2U4n9mPc7AgjcIS3MTIY2nZA==", "category"=>{"name"=>"asdasd"}, "commit"=>"Update Category", "id"=>"1"}

any ideas why it isn't saved in the databse?
When I create a new one, the record is created but without my input.

A: I ran into the same problem. I was able to get the resources to save properly by overriding the activeadmin controller actions (in e.g. app/admin/category.rb) like this
ActiveAdmin.register Blog::Category do

  permit_params :the, :parameters, :for, :your, :resource

  controller do
    def create
      @category = Blog::Category.new permitted_params[:category]
      if @category.save
        notice = 'Category was successfully created.'
        redirect_to admin_blog_category_url(@category), notice: notice
      else
        render :new
      end
    end
  end
end

I'm not sure exactly what's going on in the default case yet, but my guess is that the activeadmin controller action is not creating the object in the right namespace - that is, it does something like @category = Category.new rather than @category = Blog::Category.new. A similar override appears to be necessary for the :update action as well.

Arctic Anglicans seek fresh new recruits in England
13 February 2014 CBC News	0 Comments church, Inuit, Nunavut, religion
The hamlet of Pangnirtung. (Emily Ridlington/CBC)
Looee Mike was an Anglican Minister in the community of Pangnirtung, located in Canada's eastern Arctic territory of Nunavut, for 20 years.
Last fall, her husband, Johnny Mike, was elected as a Member of the Nunavut Legislative Assembly, and later selected as Environment Minister.
The couple moved to Iqaluit, Nunavut's capital city, last month, leaving Pangnirtung without a rector for its Anglican church.
That puts the community among 28 others across the Diocese of the Arctic without a full-time minister.
"Now for the last generation or so there's been very few ministers in our diocese of the Arctic because our preachers have either retired or passed on," Mike says.
The Diocese of the Arctic is the Anglican Church of Canada's largest. It includes Canada's Northwest Territories (N.W.T.), all of Nunavut and the Inuit self-governing region of Nunavik in northern Quebec.
The shortage of ministers means scouting for young recruits who can carry on the work of the church.
Lay readers continue regular church services, but they cannot conduct the sacraments of marriage, baptism or holy communion.
This Easter, the Diocese of the Arctic will bless the bread before it is shipped to churches across the North.
David Parsons is the Bishop of the Diocese, based in Yellowknife, N.W.T.'s capital.
He's currently visiting Canterbury College in London, England, where he and Reverend Darren McCartney are speaking with colleges, hoping to entice new ministers to serve in the Arctic.
"We're talking to students about the possibility of coming over for a short term to maybe look at the Diocese of the Arctic as place they'd maybe like to join us in the ministry," Parsons says.
Parsons calls Mike a "dynamic" Minister.
He says Pangnirtung will not have a new minister before Easter but hopes to fill the position soon.
"The work of every ordained clergy person is to be equipping the people to come along side and serve the people there. So there are people in Pangnirtung who will be doing that now but in the long-run, God willing, we will find another person to come in and help out."
While the well-liked minister has left Pangnirtung, she says she won't be leaving the church behind.
Mike says she expects she'll become a travelling minister for other communities.

This year's top ten stocks caught my eye in the news. I looked at some of the charts (Avaya for example) and discovered that the reason many of them jumped so high is because they were at all-time lows last year. Ebay's growth on the other hand appears to be consistently trending upward. Eric Hellweg of CNN Money discussed Ebay's growth, implying it will continue to grow even though others say it's a stock for the wildly bullish and risk-loving.
The thing that scares me is that if analysts are wrong, they say, "Whoopsie daisy, I messed up. Sorry about that." Meanwhile the balances of those who followed their advice are reduced to the cost of a Happy Meal.
With the ups and downs in our economy over the past few years, I can see why people leave their money in the bank.
I have my assets spread across 4 different mediums. While my stocks performed very well, I didn't have much invested in that area so I didn't get all that much back, though it's more secure. For instance, part of my AMD stock was bought around $3.88 and sold for $17.05, but I didn't buy much.

Samuel Danforth
Samuel Danforth in Metals
Samuel Danforth (Maker)
Hartford, New Haven, Connecticut, New England, United States, North America
Gift of Charles K. Davis
04//1774-1816
Samuel Danforth (of Middletown) is the grandson of Thomas I, son of Thomas II; brother to Thomas III, Joseph Sr, Edward, and Jonathan; uncle to Joseph Jr and Josiah; nephew of John (of Norwich); cousin to Samuel (of Norwich). Nineteen members of the Danforth family, spread over five generations, became invovled with manufacturing pewter or britannia. Samuel (of Middletown) probably began training in about 1788 with his brother Joseph Sr, then working with Jonathan and then William. Upon completing his apprenticeship in 1795, he moved to Hartford, possibly working with an older brother Daniel. Samuel advertised, "Samuel Danforth and Co. have for sale a good assortment of new Pewter by wholesale and retail at the New York prices." Samuel seemed to specialize in ecclesiastical wares. Thomas Boardman completed the last several years of his apprenticeship with Samuel.

Q: Guice, Groovy, @Canonical and inheritance not playing nicely together I have the following Groovy classes:
enum Protocol {
    File,
    Ftp,
    Sftp,
    Http,
    Https
}

@Canonical
abstract class Endpoint {
    String name
    Protocol protocol
}

@Canonical
@TupleConstructor(includeFields=true, includeSuperFields=true)
class LocalEndpoint extends Endpoint {
}

class MyAppModule extends AbstractModule {
    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        // Lots of stuff...
    }

  // Lots of other custom providers

  @Provides
    Endpoint providesEndpoint() {
        new LocalEndpoint('fileystem', Protocol.File)
    }
}

Don't worry about why I'm using a custom provider for the Endpoint instead of just:
bind(Endpoint).toInstance(new LocalEndpoint('fileystem', Protocol.File))

I'm 99.999% sure that's outside of this problem and is coded that way because of how the full (very large) code is wired.
My problem is that Guice and/or Groovy cannot find a constructor for LocalEndpoint that takes a String and Protocol argument:
1) Error in custom provider, groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching constructor for: com.example.myapp.model.LocalEndpoint(java.lang.String, com.example.myapp.model.Protocol)
  at com.example.myapp.inject.MyAppModule.providesEndpoint(MyAppModule.groovy:130)
  while locating com.example.myapp.model.Endpoint
    for parameter 2 at com.example.myapp.inject.MyAppModule.providesConfig(MyAppModule.groovy:98)
  at com.example.myapp.inject.MyAppModule.providesConfig(MyAppModule.groovy:98)
  while locating com.example.myapp.config.MyAppConfig

It then spits out a large stack trace with the following listed as the cause:
Caused by: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching constructor for: com.example.myapp.model.LocalEndpoint(java.lang.String, com.example.myapp.model.Protocol)
        at groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl.invokeConstructor(MetaClassImpl.java:1731)
        at groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl.invokeConstructor(MetaClassImpl.java:1534)

Hopefully this is something that I can tweak by modifying Endpoint and/or LocalEndpoint, perhaps I need to pass some special parameters into the @Canonical/@TupleConstructor annotations or something. Any ideas?

A: I think you need to add includeSuperProperties in the TupleConstructor annotation, and that seems to resolve it, even by itself:
@TupleConstructor(includeSuperProperties=true)
So the whole thing would be:
@Canonical
abstract class Endpoint {
    String name
    Protocol protocol
}

@Canonical // You may not need this anymore
@TupleConstructor(includeSuperProperties=true)
class LocalEndpoint extends Endpoint {
}

Three Oscar-Winning Films Helped Make Waxahachie 'The Best Little Hollywood In Texas'
by Molly Evans 26 Feb 2018
A film made in Waxahachie won at least one Oscar in 1983, 1984 and 1985.

CTA TBD
The town of Waxahachie goes by many names: the Gingerbread City because of the architecture of homes and buildings still standing from before 1900, the Crape Myrtle Capital of Texas because of the bright flower that blooms every summer — and perhaps the boldest of the bunch: the Best Little Hollywood in Texas.
The Waxahachie Convention and Visitors Bureau supports that last moniker with a list of more than 40 television shows and movies filmed in the town, including three that took home Academy Awards in the 1980s: "Tender Mercies," "Places in the Heart," written by Waxahachie native, Robert Benton, and "The Trip to Bountiful."
Benton also wrote the 1967 film, "Bonnie and Clyde," starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty as Dallas' own infamous partners in crime. The movie was shot in Waxahachie and other North Texas locations. Estelle Parsons won an Oscar for her supporting role as Blanche Barrow. The film also grabbed the top award for cinematography that year.
Oscar winners in the '80s
However, Waxahachie's true Hollywood heyday arrived about 15 years later. A film made in Waxahachie won at least one Oscar every year in 1983, 1984 and 1985.
Tender Mercies (1983)
Robert Duvall won Best Actor for his role as Mac Sledge, a broken-down country singer who hopes to turn his life around through his relationship with a young widow and her son in Texas. Horton Foote's screenplay also won for Writing.
More: Read this 1983 New York Times article about the film.
Places in the Heart (1984)
You may recall Sally Field shouting "You like me!" in her acceptance speech for Best Actress. She won for her role as Edna Spalding in "Places in the Heart." The film is about a Depression-era widow in Texas who tries to save the family farm with the help of two men played by John Malkovich and Danny Glover. The screenplay, written by Robert Benton, won the Academy Award for Writing, too.
Watch Sally Field's quotable speech
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
The film, set in the 1940s after World War II, stars Geraldine Page as Mrs. Watts, an elderly woman who returns to her fictitious hometown of Bountiful, Texas. Page won Best Actress. The film was adapted by the play by the same name, also written by Horton Foote.

KERA education reporter Stella M. Chávez grew up in Waxahachie during the '80s. She recalls exploring film sets and seeing famous actors. Listen to her talk about what it was like below.

Why Waxahachie was so popular
How did Waxahachie become such a hub? According to a 1985 Los Angeles Times piece asking that same question, the town could be easily transformed.
"The lure is the neighborhood. Stately gingerbread homes that line tree-shaded streets and a restored town square make Waxahachie a perfect setting for turn-of-the-century-period movies," according to the article.
Texas was becoming a contender in the film business during this time because of choice film locations near major cities, skilled local crews and relaxed union standards. It was also cheaper to film in places like Waxahachie than New York or Hollywood.
The North Texas town, which had just over 18,000 residents by the end of the decade, was open to the industry. Both the LA Times and the New York Times credit a man named L.T. Felty for being the point person for movie productions in Waxahachie at the time.
This craftsman home in Waxahachie was the set of the beauty shop in the 1984 film, "Places in the Heart," starring Sally Field. Courtesy of Waxahachie Convention and Visitors Bureau
Felty wore many hats: "former high school principal, science teacher and football coach who holds the official title of Chili Adviser to the Governor of Texas." He was also an actor and a vice president of the Waxahachie Bank and Trust Company.
"But a lot of people in the film business think of Mr. Felty for just about anything they might need, whether it is a vintage car, an old mansion or even ready cash," according to a 1987 New York Times article.
For the film, "Square Dance," Felty helped secure 800 extras on a day's notice. And for Horton Foote's "1918," he suggested using Robert Benton's aunt and uncle's house as the perfect set — if the film's producers agreed to restore it.
Long story, short: Hollywood movies filmed in Waxahachie brought a sense of pride — and an economic boost — to the town and the people who called it home.
And that's still the case today.
Film in Waxahachie today
Amy Borders, the communications and marketing director for the city, says they still receive regular calls from visitors who want to know about filming locations from the Oscar-winning films made there over 30 years ago.
"In addition to the money that film projects spend in our town during production, the lasting impact of community pride and film tourism are priceless," she said in an email.
Waxahachie is still open to productions crews, but in recent years, the city has seen a shift from feature-length films to more television and commercial projects, Borders says.
"Rather than having a large film every year or so, we have seen a more steady stream of smaller projects. Each have their benefits, and we are still enjoying steady production activity which is great," she said.

The Texas Legislature has decreased the amount of money used to lure projects to the Lone Star State. The appropriation for the film incentive program was $95 million at its highest, but has since been slashed to $22 million, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Projects that receive rebates from the program in turn bring millions of dollars and thousands of jobs to the Texas economy, but there is a divide between lawmakers on the value of the incentive program.
Borders declined to comment on whether these funding cuts have hurt Waxahachie's film business. The city continues to accommodate productions, whether they're out of Los Angeles, Austin or even Dallas-Fort Worth, helping filmmakers find locations, extras, local crews and hotel rooms, she says.
"If a project is coming to Waxahachie and making a positive economic impact, we are certainly eager to help," Borders said.
As for upcoming projects, there are a couple of large feature films that are considering Waxahachie, Borders says, but she can't divulge much more than that.
How to inquire
Filmmakers can call Amy Borders at 469-309-4012, or email her at [email protected].
Note: Most of the "Tender Mercies" set was a constructed set, and therefore, temporary. Locations in "The Trip to Bountiful" no longer exist, according to Borders.

Why we're obsessed with Southern BBQ (and how we're making it our own)
We talk to barbecue expert Jess Pryles to find out why Australians are going crazy for Southern food.
Jess Pryles is a self-described "meatspert" and honourary Texan who spends a decent portion of each year in the US indulging her passion for all things Southern. Aside from writing her blog Burger Mary, she is the vice-president of the Australasian Barbecue Alliance and creator of the Carnivore's Ball, an 'event for the discerning meat enthusiast', which has run in Melbourne, Sydney, and most recently in her spiritual home of Austin, Texas.
Let's just say, she knows her butt from her brisket.
We caught up with Jess to get the lowdown on Australia's love affair with Southern barbecue.
Jess Pryles, "Australian by birth, Southern by the grace of capacity to eat'".
Q: The last few years have seen Australians develop a seemingly insatiable obsession with Southern barbecue. What do you think has caused this sudden interest?
Southern barbecue is also having a renaissance within the rest of the US! I think after a few waves of food trends, like clean eating, fine dining, foraged materials, etc, getting back to the roots of soulful simple cooking is appealing to many people. Meat is back in vogue! Plus, good barbecue is an amazing food experience so it's not at all surprising that people are loving it once they discover it!
Q: And is there anyone here doing it right?
Well, "doing it right" is akin to "authentic", which is such a dangerous word, one that even I have fallen victim to using in the past. As far as cooking methods, I personally give a lot of credit to people using all wood-burning smokers, which requires a huge amount of labour and talent, but I also realise that in a highly urban areas like our cities, other methods (like gas powered or pellet smokers) are the only option. No matter how "right" you are doing it (whether having trained in America or researched barbecue history, etc), I think the safest way to measure a place is whether it's good or not. Barbecue can be authentic and still be pretty awful! But short answer – yes, there are some people doing great things with barbecue here in Australia.
"Doing it right" is akin to "authentic", which is such a dangerous word ... Barbecue can be authentic and still be pretty awful!
Q: What do you think are the main hurdles Australian would-be BBQers face in producing authentic Southern barbecue?
The number one hurdle is meat, without a doubt. Our local meat is completely different to what they cook in America, both in cuts and in size of the animals. For example, the pork ribs here are considerably smaller and way less meaty than a rack of ribs in the US, and our cattle often doesn't achieve the same type of fat growth (no matter how big we let them get) as standard American cattle (which may be the result both of heavy corn feeding and also selective breeding for biggest, fattest yields). All of these nuances affect cook times, tenderness and the overall result and eating experience. As a backyard enthusiast, it's incredibly difficult to follow a recipe when the basic raw ingredient you're working with is so very different to what is called for. Then there are secondary road bumps such as the expense of using imported wood, understanding which kinds of local woods you can use for smoking, the small range and high cost of smoker pits...
Beef briskets in a traditional pit, cooked with the smoke from Post Oak wood.
Q: What are your pet peeves about the Australian trend?
I think any purist is going to get peeved about most things that become a trend, so of course I have a few! The trend of listing the smoker brand, or cook time on the menu. None of that stuff would ever be mentioned [in the US] and it's just a marketing device. How long it's cooked and the brand it's cooked on does not mean it's gonna be good. I also have a little peeve about chefs who are using electric smokers (literally an oven unit with a tray to burn wood chips to add smoke flavour, rather than actually cooking with smoke) who believe they are doing "real barbecue". But the biggest offence would have to be "vanity smokers" – when a joint will put small a "stickburner" (wood fuelled only) barbecue on display for customers to ooh and ahh at, but will have an electric oven smoker out back that does the majority of their cooking. Happens both here and in the US!
Q: Carolina, Texas, Kansas or Memphis? What's the difference and who's doing it best?
Gosh, how long do you want the answer to be?! The short version is: The Carolinas specialise in pork and whole hog barbecue with vinegar-based sauces. Texas's speciality is beef, where brisket and the beef rib are king. Kansas City is known for a sweet, tangy tomato-based barbecue sauce and Memphis is all about the pork ribs. They also use a dry (as opposed to liquid or wet) rub in Memphis which can be an acquired taste for some.
Q: Since regionality is important in the US, should we be striving to replicate a truly authentic Southern style, or should we be trying to create something that's unique to us?
I think it's a great idea to take the traditions and make it our own, rather than trying to replicate something that has so many nuances reliant on location. I just think there are certain things that can't be copied because they are so much more about feel than ingredients. For example, throwing a mardi gras party and getting a jazz band to play will only have a fraction of the soul and feel of seeing that in New Orleans, because there's a certain feel to the city you just can't reproduce. I am a co-founder of the Australasian Barbecue Alliance and we seek to promote low and slow methods of cooking but suited to an Aussie audience. One of the biggest areas I think we can explore is the use of lamb as a smoked meat. It's rich, fatty and can stand up to the smoke and the cook time – I think that's definitely something we can make our own.
It's a great idea to take the traditions and make it our own, rather than trying to replicate something that has so many nuances reliant on location.
Q: Great barbecue requires some pretty serious equipment and set-up, making it difficult to replicate at home. Do you have any advice for the home BBQer?
Actually, it's rather easy (albeit long!) to do at home. Cheaper smokers are available from major barbecue retailers these days, it's just that it takes a bunch of time to do. But, I've never really heard too many Aussies complain about having to stand in the backyard drinking beer and tending to meat for 8 hours... The best piece of advice is to practice often, and remember that good barbecue ain't done 'til it's done. Don't rush it!
Q: Where did your passion for barbecue come from?
It's as simple as falling in love with the taste of it, and then running with it from there!
Slices of beef brisket with signature black 'bark'.
Q: Sides: why are they important to barbecue, and which are your favourites?
Sides are palate cleansers, they enhance and complement the meat. Getting a cold, clean, acidic bite of coleslaw between rich smokey meat mouthfuls speaks to the idea of balancing a dish. Sure, I'm very Ron Swanson in my attitude, which is that the meat is the major focus, but I definitely love sides, too! My favourites are mustard based potato salad and cream corn (which is usually more cream than corn!).
Q: What's the best barbecue you've ever eaten?
Trick question! And it changes all the time, because people change their methods, new places come along, etc. Some of my faves in Austin include Browns, Freedmens, La Barbecue and Louie Mueller.
Q: What are the top 5 things to look for in great barbecue?
Tenderness, Texture, Flavor, Appearance and Smoke. Appearance is a tricky one, since well-cooked brisket actually has a strange grey-ish appearance, but usually the bark (outside crust) is so beautiful that it offsets any ugliness. With smoke, you are looking for the smoke to be complementary to the flavour of the meat, rather than overpowering or weak.

SeaWorld CEO hits 'small-minded' animal activists who 'don't know what they're talking about'
Animal Rights Terrorism, Endangered Species Act, Exotic Animals, True Conservation
SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby on Monday reportedly ripped the animal rights activists who continue to target his company and its live killer whale shows as "small-minded" and ignorant.
Mr. Manby told the ICR Conference in Orlando that the backlash against SeaWorld, which was brought to a head following the 2013 release of the critically acclaimed documentary "Blackfish," has been driven by "lies" and people lacking in "critical thinking," Business Insider reported.
"One hundred years from now, people are going to be begging for zoos and aquariums to take the animals from the wild because the extinction rate is so high," Mr. Manby reportedly said.
"Those are the issues we should be talking about, not 29 whales at SeaWorld that have been born at SeaWorld and have lived there their entire life and cannot be released to the wild because they would die," he added. "So, I get frustrated with the small-minded arguments from activists that really don't know what they're talking about."
After facing years of criticism for the alleged mistreatment of animals, SeaWorld announced in 2016 that it was terminating its in-park Orca breeding program and phasing out its live killer whale shows.

Senoble est une entreprise familiale française de l'agroalimentaire, fondée en 1921 par Sophie Senoble à Jouy, dans le département de l'Yonne, en France, et dirigée par Marc Senoble.

Cinq générations se sont succédé aux commandes de l'entreprise dont l'activité a évolué au cours des décennies mais s'est toujours organisée autour des produits laitiers.

D'abord fromagerie artisanale, Senoble se concentre ensuite sur la grande distribution et devient un acteur économique majeur de l'agroalimentaire français avec un chiffre d'affaires de 1,1 milliard d'euros en 2011.

En 2017 le groupe Senoble est rebaptisé Seninvest, son activité dans la grande distribution est réduite. La marque Senoble devient une enseigne de boutiques de pâtisseries haut de gamme, de glaces et salons de thé.

Histoire

En 1921, l'histoire du groupe commence avec la création d'une fromagerie artisanale à Jouy par Sophie Senoble qui produit des fromages de type brie de Montereau et brie de Melun et les vend sur les marchés alentour. En 1940, après la disparition de Sophie Senoble, son fils André ouvre de nouvelles fromageries en Bourgogne, dans le Loiret et en Seine-et-Marne et transforme Senoble en une entreprise offrant en plus de la gamme de bries, des camemberts, et du lait frais, qu'il exporte dans toute la France. En 1954, Senoble emploie 75 à 80 salariés et traite 18 000 litres de lait par jour.

En 1960, Claude poursuit la politique de diversification initiée par son père. Il développe la production de fromages pasteurisés et au lait cru, de produits laitiers frais et de leurs dérivés. La maison Senoble vend alors du lait UHT mais également du beurre, du fromage blanc et des yaourts conditionnés dans des pots en carton. Il se rapproche de la grande distribution (Intermarché, Carrefour) au début des années 70 et prend, en 1980, la décision d'abandonner la fabrication des fromages, devenue moins rentable, pour réorienter l'ensemble de l'activité autour des produits laitiers frais et des marques de distributeurs.

Dans les années 1990, avec l'arrivée de l'arrière-petit-fils, Marc, la production se diversifie dans les desserts. En 2004, Il fait entrer un fonds d'investissement au capital, dont il rachètera les parts quatre ans plus tard, et double rapidement le chiffre d'affaires de la société à 1,1 milliard d'euros. Senoble connaît une forte période de croissance grâce aux marques de distributeurs en France et à l'étranger avec une présence en Italie, en Grande-Bretagne, en Europe Centrale et en Espagne où le groupe ouvre un site de production et devient numéro deux du secteur, derrière Danone, avec 30 % de parts de marché.
En 2005, Senoble acquiert une unité centrale en Slovaquie et construit un entrepôt central à Villeroy opérationnel en 2006. En 2007, Senoble rachète Elisabeth the Chef au Royaume-Uni,  britannique des desserts extra et de la pâtisserie. En 2008, Senoble prend une participation dans un groupe familial italien, Bergamin, spécialisé dans les yaourts et fromages frais.

En 2009, pour la première fois depuis sa création le groupe Senoble tire plus de croissance des unités hors frontalières (55 % des bénéfices viendraient des filiales). La même année, Senoble devient sponsor de l'AJ Auxerre pour les deux prochaines saisons.

En 2012, Senoble et Agrial s'associent en partenariat à 50/50 et créent le groupe Senagral. Senoble réduira sa participation à 49 % en  pour se désengager des marques de distributeurs et développer la marque Senoble. En , Senoble annonce son désengagement complet de Senagral.

Senoble réoriente alors ses activités vers la production de desserts premium et souhaite « devenir la référence du dessert haut de gamme dans les supermarchés ». En 2013, la direction du groupe quitte le site historique de Jouy pour s'installer à Bruxelles en Belgique. La même année, le groupe rachète La Charlotte (glaces et desserts pâtissiers surgelés) à Boulogne-sur-Mer, avec l'objectif de s'introduire dans le créneau des surgelés et de le développer à l'international en visant notamment les États-Unis, la Chine, le Japon et la Russie.

Début 2015, Marc Senoble poursuit la politique de désengagement initiée en France et vend à Schreiber Foods sa filiale espagnole dédiée aux yaourts en marque de distributeurs. À la suite de ce désengagement, 38 salariés de Jouy sont concernés par un plan social. Fin 2015, Senoble ne possède plus que cinq usines et un chiffre d'affaires de 230 millions d'euros.

Depuis 2016, Senoble cesse de vendre sa marque en hypermarchés mais conserve deux sites en France dédiés aux desserts premium de marques de distributeurs ainsi que deux autres en Grande-Bretagne. En 2017, le groupe se réoriente et ouvre à Paris un salon de thé proposant des pâtisseries haut de gamme ainsi qu'une glacerie. Marc Senoble explique : « Nous voulons retrouver le lien direct avec le client. C'est une sorte de retour aux sources : en 1921, Sophie Senoble a commencé en vendant sur les marchés de l'Yonne les fromages qu'elle fabriquait ». Senoble a pour objectif l'ouverture d'une vingtaine de points de vente en France sur les trois prochaines années, puis de s'implanter à l'international.

Quelques chiffres
 Chiffre d'affaires : 870 millions d'euros en 2007 dont 55 % réalisés hors France ; en 2011, 1,1 milliard d'euros dont 62 % réalisés à l'international ; 235 millions d'euros en 2016
  fabriquées en 2007, 690 000 tonnes en 2011

En 2017 Senoble possède deux usines en France, et deux en Angleterre.

Spécialités
Après avoir commencé dans les fromages à pâte molle, le groupe s'est orienté vers les produits laitiers frais, puis les desserts, et surtout depuis 2017 vers la pâtisserie et les glaces.

La spécialité phare de Senoble, l'île flottante, est entièrement repensée sous la forme d'un entremets qui se compose d'une mousse de meringue recouvrant un crémeux à la vanille et un caramel ambré. Le tout est décoré d'un disque de chocolat blond, de miettes de feuille d'or et repose sur un sablé rond.

The project uses an Arduino Pro Micro combined with an ENC28J60 Ethernet adapter. We used to see that chip all the time but in 2017 it's somewhat of a classic setup since the great unwashed masses largely migrating to the ESP8266. However, for the purposes of this project, it was perfect for connecting to the wired office network (after all, you want to know the status of your build and not of your WiFi). [dkt01] even managed to get a web configuration to work despite the relatively meager resources of the ATmega32u4.


Kitchen and Residential Design: IceStone recycled glass counters... cool!
IceStone is a Brooklyn-based manufacturer of recycled glass and concrete durable surfaces. For most people, a durable surface is another name for a counter. It needn't stop with counters though, IceStone can be used as flooring, shower enclosures, back splash or for any other purpose where there's a need for a durable, water- and stain-resistant surface.
New York – IceStone, the NY-based maker of green, durable surfaces used for countertops, bar-tops, bathrooms, flooring and other applications, announced today its achievement as the first and only surface manufacturer to receive the prestigious Gold level, Cradle to Cradle certification. Given by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), this certification shows that IceStone's company and products have passed stringent manufacturing standards that measure toxic ingredients, emissions levels, water and energy usage, renewable investments, on-going data collection systems and recyclability, as well as a code of corporate ethics and labor standards.
IceStone looks like quartz composite. Actually, quartz composite looks like terrazzo, and terrazzo is exactly what IceStone is. IceStone's use of cement rather than the polymers used in quartz composite is the key to its status as a sustainable product, though their use of 100% recycled glass doesn't hurt either.
IceStone looks pretty cool, I like how it shows and I like the fact that it's a sustainable product. In the market for a durable surface? Take a look at IceStone.
LOVE IT!!! I first saw glass & concrete counter tops on "Living With Ed". And you know if Ed Begley uses it, it has to be good for the environment -- the man pedals a bike to make toast!!
I'd love to have glass & concrete counter tops in our kitchen. If I can juts convince my hubby!!
It's definitely a great idea whose time has come. I haven't seen it installed anywhere yet though. Have you?
I wonder if any of these companies allow you to order samples of their products.... I'm going to look into that.
Now Vetrazzo is one that I've seen before. I wrote a post about their stuff about a year ago. They make a counter out of green Coke bottle glass that I love. Concrete Ideas is a great website and resource. Thanks for that. I'm writing about Trespa TopLab tomorrow. It's another cool, sustainable counter material and it sells for $15 a square foot if you can believe that. Stay tuned!
FYI, Rinato is another line of recycled Glass and cement countertops. They are out of Chicago, so a great source for the midwest. The Rinato color pallet is just as stylish as these other lines and most are 100% post-consumer.
Rinato is indeed some interesting stuff. Can you send me some more information on the product?

The Pope and Romero
My posting from a few days ago regarding pope John Paul II and Romero was probably a bit simplistic. My statement that when the pope visited El Salvador three years after Romero's assassination he "spoke in the voice of Romero" glossed over the definite antagonism of the pope towards liberation theology, despite the pope's support of freedom struggles across the world.
The PBS program Frontline broadcast a program titled John Paul II - the Millennial Pope. The transcript of the program contains these recollections of a visit by Romero to visit the pope in Rome:
MARIA LOPEZ VIGIL: [through interpreter] I am never going to forget it's in my mind the gesture that Monsignor Romero made when he was explaining that to me. He did this gesture. "Look," he said, "that the Holy Father says that the archbishopric must get along well with the government, that we must enter into a dialogue. And I was trying to let the Holy Father understand that the government attacks the people. And if I am the pastor of the people, I cannot enter into good understanding with this government." But the Holy Father was insisting.
I am still seeing Monsignor Romero making that gesture like wanting to things to converge that cannot converge.
Rev. JON SOBRINO, Liberation Theologian: [through interpreter] When Romero told him that the that the church was being persecuted in El Salvador, John Paul said to him "Well, well, don't exaggerate it." And he said to Romero, "You have to be very careful with communism." The result was that Monsignor Romero was very upset. He left the Vatican in tears. It was a sad interview, very sad.
Oscar Romero had the following words to say about his visit to Rome:
There in Rome, the information I gave, the lengthy and calm dialogs I had with the representatives of the church's central authority, the clarifications I made of certain misunderstandings or of understandings based on false or biased reports, and my very presence there seemed so providential to me that I give thanks to God that they now know there how I love and support the See of the successor of Peter. They could not doubt my faithfulness to the pope, and I have once more affirmed that, God willing, I will die faithful to Peter's successor, the Vicar of Christ.
I told them: it's easy to preach his teachings theoretically. To follow faithfully the pope's magisterium in theory is very easy. But when you try to live those saving teachings, try to incarnate them, try to make them reality in the history of a suffering people like ours – that is when conflicts arise.
Not that I have been unfaithful – never! I think that today I am more faithful than ever, because I experience the trial, the suffering – and the intimate joy – of proclaiming with more than words and lip service a teaching that I have always believed and loved. I am trying to give it life in this community, which the Lord has entrusted to me.
Dear friends, if we are really Catholics, followers of an authentic gospel – and therefore a difficult gospel – if we really want to live up to the name of followers of Christ, let us not be afraid to transform into flesh and blood, into living history, this teaching, which from the pages of the gospel becomes present reality in the teaching
of the councils and of the popes, who try to live like true shepherds through the vicissitudes of their times.

Why is mercurochrome not sold anymore?
Regulations: In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared that mercurochrome was "not generally recognized as safe and effective" as an over-the-counter antiseptic and banned its sale in the U.S.
Can you still get mercurochrome?
No one did, and the FDA forbade the sale of Mercurochrome across state lines, which effectively killed the product. Mercurochrome will probably never be tested because there are more effective antiseptics, such as Merthiolate and metaphen.
Is mercurochrome dangerous?
Mercurochrome and another popular antiseptic of a generation or two ago, Merthiolate, contained mercury, that liquid metal health authorities have decided is toxic enough in large amounts to ban its general use, even enclosed in glass thermometers.
Does Walmart sell mercurochrome?
Mercurochrome Colorless Antiseptic 100ml – Walmart.com – Walmart.com.
Is iodine and mercurochrome the same thing?
Iodine is elemental iodine and is used in an alcohol solution (known as tincture of iodine). Mercurochrome is a trade name for merbromin which is an organic compound containing mercury and bromine.
Do they still sell iodine?
Today, you can still purchase and use iodine at home to help treat minor cuts and scrapes. Before using iodine, try to clean the wound with water.
When did they stop putting mercury in mercurochrome?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed it from the "generally recognized as safe" into the "untested" classification to effectively halt its distribution in the United States in 1998 over fears of potential mercury poisoning.
Why is mercurochrome called Monkey?
Its antiseptic qualities were discovered in 1918 by Hugh H. Young, a physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The chemical soon became popular among parents and physicians for everyday antiseptic uses, including minor schoolyard injuries. Some people referred to it as "monkey blood," referring to its deep red color.
What is substitute for mercurochrome?
Within the United States, products such as Humco Mercuroclear ("Aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride and lidocaine hydrochloride") play on the brand recognition history of Mercurochrome but substitute other ingredients with similar properties.
What was in mercurochrome?
A. Mercurochrome is a trade name for merbromin, a compound containing mercury and bromine. Merthiolate is a trade name for thimerosal, a compound containing mercury and sodium. Both Mercurochrome and Merthiolate (and iodine preparations, too) sting when applied to broken skin and can interfere with healing.
Do they still use iodine?
In the US, iodized salt is not required, but it is widely available. Researchers estimate that iodized salt is used regularly by about half the US population. Iodine is taken by mouth to prevent and treat iodine deficiency and its consequences, including goiter and some thyroid disorders.
Why can you not buy iodine anymore?
Iodine, for many years used by walkers and mountaineers to disinfect water, will be banned in the European Union from autumn. The main risks from drinking untreated water come from bacteria, viruses and parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
Where can I buy a bottle of Mercurochrome?
A bottle of Mercurochrome™. Mercurochrome™ is a product which was once widely marketed for use as a topical antiseptic. Thanks to changes in the way the US Food and Drug Administration regards Mercurochrome™, the product is not readily available in the United States today, although it can be found in many other regions of the world.
Why was Mercurochrome banned from over the counter?
Cecil Adams on The Straight Dope says that Mercurochrome was banned from being sold over-the-counter in 1998 by the FDA. Due to some reports of mercury poisoning related to the use of Mercurochrome, the FDA re-classified it as a drug in 1998, meaning that someone has to prove it is safe for use before it can be sold again.
Why was Mercurochrome classified as a new drug?
Hearing little, the FDA classified the antiseptic as a "new drug," meaning that anyone proposing to sell it nationwide had to submit it to the same rigorous approval process required of a drug invented last month. (This took place in 1998 — nobody's going to accuse the FDA of rushing to judgment.)
When did Mercurochrome get its GRAS status?
The FDA initially proposed clipping Mercurochrome's GRAS status in 1982 and asked for comment. Hearing little, the FDA classified the antiseptic as a "new drug," meaning that anyone proposing to sell it nationwide had to submit it to the same rigorous approval process required of a drug invented last month.
Is Mercurochrome still available?
Mercurochrome™ is a product which was once widely marketed for use as a topical antiseptic. Thanks to changes in the way the US Food and Drug Administration regards Mercurochrome™, the product is not readily available in the United States today, although it can be found in many other regions of the world.
Was Mercurochrome dangerous?
There are two issues with Mercurochrome™ and other merbromin products. The first is that they contain mercury, a metal which is known to be poisonous. Although no one has definitively linked Mercurochrome™ to mercury poisoning, presumably because the metal is only present in trace amounts,…
Is there Mercury in Mercurochrome?
Mercurochrome contains disodium mercury which is safe and completely harmless to use. Methyl mercury is the toxic mercury.

Sole Satisfier is a term in Christian theology which refers to God as the only one who can satisfy human beings.

Saints

Cyprian
Cyprian is one of the Fathers of the Church.

To those who seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, he has promised to give all else besides. Since everything indeed belongs to God, he who possesses God wants for nothing, if he himself is not found wanting before God.

Teresa of Avila
Teresa of Avila was a Mystic and is a Doctor of the Church.  God as the Sole Satisfier of human longing is one of the central teachings of the Discalced Carmelite reform that she and St. John of the Cross collaborated upon in the 16th century.

Let nothing trouble you

Let nothing frighten you

Everything passes

God never changes

Patience

Obtains all

Whoever has God

Wants for nothing

God alone is enough.

OutKast, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003)
Image via Complex Original
Label: LaFace, Arista
Just the idea of Outkast releasing a double LP with one disc starring Big Boi and the other starring Andre 3000 was classic. It was their fifth album, and their previous four efforts were all incredible, so why not change things up a bit? Plus, it was clear that they were each moving in different directions musically, so it was a chance to give us an Outkast album that represented each head attached to the monster.
What resulted was both Big Boi and Andre 3000 creating huge hit singles. Big Boi's "The Way You Move" was enormous in its own right, but Andre's smash "Hey Ya" was absolutely through the roof. It was the catchiest, most danceable song of the year. Both songs hit No. 1 on Billboard.
Beyond that, each album was overloaded with goodies, displaying every facet of their music-making talent, including 3 Stacks new knack for singing, which was most effective on "Roses" and "Prototype." It had pop appeal, but the gangsters could vibe with it, too, and it wound up winning the Grammy for Album of the Year—a landmark moment for hip-hop. - Daniel Isenberg

You are here: Home / Athletics / Hall of Fame / 1994 Hall of Fame / Mike Siebers
Mike Siebers
Inducted 1994. Named All-American in Soccer, All-State in Basketball. Class of 1983.
How many persons to have ever participated in high school athletics could say they were an all-stater in TWO sports? Versatility was Siebers' greatest asset, and he'll be remembered as one of the school's most talented athletics.
As a senior, Siebers led Notre Dame to its first-ever berth in the state soccer tournament. He headed a defense which held opponents scoreless for 43 quarters before Collinsville recorded a 1-0 victory in overtime. As a sweeper back, Siebers was a tenacious defender, yet he was still able to score 15 goals and assist on three others.
His 26 career goals rank him 16th on the school's all-time list. His 73 consecutive starts was a record when he graduated. He was named to the all-state team and to the McDonald's All-American team in 1981.
The big redhead was no less aggressive on the basketball court. As a senior, he averaged 18.5 points and 11.3 rebounds to lead the Raiders to a 25-5 record and the sectional finals. He was the most valuable player at the 1982 Macomb Holiday Tournament. Notre Dame was ranked 14th in the final Associated Press Class A state poll.
He was a first-team choice to the Associated Press (12 players) and Chicago Sun-Times (20 players) all-state teams. He was a second-team pick by United Press International and a third-team selection by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
Siebers went on to play basketball for four years at Quincy College.

U.N. approves ban on heavy ship fuel in Arctic
Category: Energía y Combustibles
Published on Friday, 20 November 2020 18:11
Written by Administrator2
LONDON (Reuters) - The United Nations shipping agency on Friday approved a ban on the use of heavy fuel oil in the Arctic region in a move criticised by green groups which said loopholes will allow many vessels to keep sailing without enough regulatory control.

Antarctic waters are protected by stringent regulations, including a ban on heavy oil fuel (HFO) adopted in 2011, even though no cargo moves through the turbulent southern waters. For the Arctic, the rules have been looser.
In a virtual session of its Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved a ban on the use of HFO and its carriage for use by ships in Arctic waters after July 1, 2024.
The Clean Arctic Alliance coalition described the regulations as "outrageous" as it included exemptions and waivers, which would mean a complete HFO ban would only come into effect in mid-2029.
"In its current form, the ban will achieve only a minimal reduction in HFO use and carriage by ships in the Arctic in mid-2024," said Sian Prior, lead advisor to the Clean Arctic Alliance.
"The ban ... will mean that a full three-quarters of the ships using HFO today will be eligible for an exemption."
An IMO spokeswoman said there would be an exemption for ships with oil fuel tanks located inside their double hull. There would also be a provision allowing countries with coastlines bordering Arctic waters to issue waivers to ships flying their flag while they operate there until July 1, 2029.
The Arctic has warmed at least twice as quickly as the rest of the world over the last three decades and shipping traffic has expanded.
Environmentalists say HFO produces higher emissions of harmful pollutants, including sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxides, and black carbon. In addition, a possible oil spill involving HFO from a ship could have a devastating impact on the Arctic's ecosystem.
The next MEPC session, scheduled for June 2021, is expected to formally adopt the measures.

Do you no longer have a box to safely send your TV in? We offer original boxes with protective material such as polystyrene foam for every model of our TVs.
Because TVs are very fragile and the Styrofoam can absorb most shocks during transport, it is recommended to use this box. The corners of your television will be especially vulnerable to bumps and damage during the move. For this reason, it's important that you properly protect the TV within the cardboard box.
The shipping costs for the box are based on the actual DPD rates, for bigger boxes the shipping cost might be higher due to the size of the box.
*We do not recommend packaging a TV in bubble wrap only.

Long Distance Driving Day – Wednesday 2nd May
We will again meet at The Hunt House at 10.00 a.m. for tea and coffee before departing on a scenic route through Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Leicestershire and Rutland, with a stop for lunch, and aiming to be back in the vicinity of The Hunt House before the rush hour starts.
In response to requests following last year's event, the route will be a bit longer at around 140 miles and should take around 4½ to 5 hours of driving.
The planned lunch break is in a small village where there is an excellent pub with a wide range of food available, and there is also a café adjoining the pub for snack meals. You are, of course, free to bring your own food should you wish. Any food and drink will be at your own cost.
The final route is still in the planning, but will hopefully rival last year's event for scenic views and variety. Motorways and most dual carriageways will be avoided, and the route will be suitable for all ages of club cars. Directions will be given at the start at The Hunt House, but it may be advisable to bring a sat-nav if you have one, or at least a decent map.
There is no cost for attending this event, but we would appreciate a donation of £10 per car to aid section funds.

Derek and Sylvia Freeman will be hosting this year and further details will appear in the Spring edition of Paulerspury People out in April.
Classics on Harpenden Common – Wednesday 25th July
A short piece to garner interest for the event in July; last Wednesday of the month.
The event will again take place on Harpenden Common and Caroline and I are looking to arrange a coffee meeting at 10 o'clock so that all club cars entering for the show can congregate and so park up together on the Common. Cars will be allowed to book for early entry from the website to avoid congestion and overheating problems. The normal start time for entry is 2pm.
We are arranging lunch for the group at the Harpenden Arms which is adjacent to the Common and at the bottom of Station Road.
There is an age restriction shown on the website and will be cars from 1993 and earlier but I expect members who don't have such a beast can come along to the coffee and lunch and can grab a lift in a suitably aged club car.
We can let the club know when the site is open for bookings; there are usually spaces for 1050 cars plus some commercials and some motorcycles.
The event closes when it is getting dark but you can go earlier, if you can get out!
Last year was very enjoyable and successful so we would urge yo all to think about coming along as a spectator or as a participant.
It's the largest such event in the country, if not Europe or the WORLD!!!
Organiser: Caroline and Andrew Sykes
