The Saudi-Danish economic relations are witnessing new developments as the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding to create a Saudi-Danish Business Council as a tool to enhance bilateral trade relations between the two countries.
Chairperson of the Council of Saudi Chambers (CSC) Dr. Abdulrahman Al Zamil and Deputy Director General of the Confederation of Danish Industry Thomas Bustrup signed the MoU.
The joint council will aim at opening new channels of cooperation between the two countries, encouraging continued interaction between their respective business sectors, engaging in trade and promotion activities, and focusing on innovation, transferring technology and training in targeted sectors.
The MoU entails that the joint council consists of related business representatives on both sides, with regular meetings held in both Riyadh and Copenhagen. The joint council will help facilitate delegation exchanges, organizing exhibitions, exchanging information on latest economic developments and business opportunities, and making recommendations to concerned bodies in both countries as to how to enhance bilateral trade relations.
The MoU signing comes as a culmination of the joint Saudi-Danish efforts to increase cooperation between the two countries over the years.
During Crown Prince of Denmark Frederik André Henrik's visit to Saudi Arabia, the Danish government organized an exhibition to promote Danish products related to smart cities, healthcare, environment, foodstuffs, and modern designs.
It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia and Denmark share distinguished relations that continue to grow, with bilateral trade estimated at approx. SAR 2.840m in 2015. Some of the Kingdom's key exports to Denmark include crude oil, and Polypropylene and Polyethylene products. Denmark's key exports include pharmaceutical products, medical equipment, dairy products, soft drinks, and industrial technologies, among others.

JAPH

Does anyone else feel apprehension with signing JAPH or "Perl Hacker" after their names? I feel like I have way more to learn before I could use it.
And I'm not so sure that I would when I could. It seems a little hokey.

"Hacker" is a process, not a destination. Being a Perl Hacker means that you hack at Perl. It doesn't imply any great grace at the use of Perl. Usually once you've been a Perl Hacker for a while, you also aquire quite a bit of Perl skill.
So you can know almost nothing about Perl when you first become a Perl Hacker (though usually the decision to hack Perl comes from a liking of the language which usually requires some knowledge of it).

I'm inclined to agree. "Hacker" is somewhat like "artist"; it is sometimes complimentary, sometimes not, depending on how you use it. I often will identify myself as a hacker, by which I mean that I do this stuff (primarily) for enjoyment, and that I identify with the "hacker community". Certainly not that I'm the baddest coder on my block.
I similarly have no problem calling myself a Perl Hacker. "Just another Perl Hacker", though, has taken on a more distinct connotation. While I am literally "just another Perl hacker", I'm not sure I'm "Just another Perl Hacker", if you take my meaning. The phrase carries some irony, being the signatory title of one of the community's leaders.
It's a judgement call. Personally, I like to append the title, "Boy Hacker" to my name sometimes... which has its own pleasant irony, as it suggests youth. ;-)

It's an old thread, but I'll forever associate JAPH with the definition of Hacker as defined in the "The Seven Levels"
As such, until I submit a working patch, JAPH will not be joining the other alphabetti which might be associated with my name.
CD, reasonably Adept.

I'd love to sign with "japh" but don't intend to till after I've posted a reasonable japh obfuscation. Don't hold your breath, it'll be a while {grin}
The phrase "just another Perl hacker" fits better with saint Larry's third virtue of community (humility) than with the third virtue of a programmer (hubris). Dunno if that was intentional, but it makes sense to me.

A sig is a personal thing, I personally won't ever sign with a JAPH because it just ain't me. You should pick one that "feels good" to ya. Don't think you are forced into JAPH just because that is what the other saints do, find your own way to spiritual sig bliss.
In my case, I have a nice Certificate from Mark-Jason Dominus from Perl Conference 2.0 with "Perl Pimp" on it. I beat up Perl till it does horrible things for me and keep all the money. Still working on a giant, furry, yellow and green tiger-striped pimp hat tho. =)

in my opinion, how you sign JAPH gives you the rank, not whether you do it or not. Someone who has
print "Just Another Perl Hacker";
after his or her name is obviously a novice and someone with something so elaborate that all you can distinguish are a few asterisks, well.... are perl saints.
@:::::::((==========Rydor====>
Yes... a little observed secret that I'll let the monks in on...
The canonical JAPH is:

One of my coworkers had the stated goal of being a "merely competent" hacker rather than a master hacker. Either way, if you're interested in the language enough to always play with the language in new and bizarre ways to achieve your goal, then there's no shame in calling yourself "another hacker", even if you're just "merely competent". :-)

but i don't think i'll feel confident enough to sign with "Just another Perl hacker," for quite some time. i will, however, shamelessly admit that i've signed email's with japh/obfu's before, but that was just to irk some friends of mine who haven't seen the Light (8

Although I'd really like to have a JAPH-sig, in my opinion one has to construct his own sigs.

Porcelain veneers, or also known as ceramic veneers, are fine aesthetic layers that are applied by coating the visible part of the teeth to achieve an excellent improvement of the appearance of the smile. They allow changing the shape, color and position of natural teeth.
The best porcelain veneers today behave very much like natural enamel. They can adhere with extraordinary strength to the dental enamel, do not wear out, do not stain and do not change color over time.
We have all the porcelain veneers and the latest techniques, so that we can use in each case the most appropriate procedure for your case.
We have been directing Advanced Dental Esthetics postgraduates for many years, from where we teach other dentists to handle these cases correctly, from the study (DSD), the confection, the preparation and the placement to its maintenance. All steps are important and require a lot of skill, knowledge, technology and adequate materials in order to achieve as a result a beautiful and natural smile for many years.
If you are thinking of improving your smile, do not hesitate to contact us so we can evaluate your case properly and without compromise.
What can dental veneers do for my teeth?
Porcelain veneers can improve a number of tooth imperfections, including blemishes, discolorations and even some misalignment. Unlike crowns, ceramic veneers do not cover the entire tooth, they are custom made to fit in a partial area of the tooth. Dental veneers are made to look natural and equal to teeth, you may forget that they are not the real ones.
Porcelain veneers are made-to-measure with a mold of your teeth that we will create in the dental consultation. They are specifically designed for the best possible fit on your tooth, and are fixed with an extremely durable dental cement so they can stay in place for years. It is certainly a better choice than composite veneers.
Do the ceramic veneers have a natural appearance?
Yes. The porcelain veneers are made of a very strong ceramic material and tinted tone to match the rest of your teeth. They are built to resemble natural teeth.
How is the procedure of placing the ceramic veneers?
The process of placement of porcelain veneers usually involves two visits to the dentist: one to prepare the affected tooth for the best placement and to create a mold of the teeth and a second visit to place the dental veneer and check that the tonality corresponds to that of the neighboring teeth. Both visits take place within two to three weeks of each other. In some cases, the dentist can perform it in a single visit through the use of CEREC technology.
Is the placement of dental veneers uncomfortable or painful?
They are placed using a local anesthetic to numb the treated areas, and your dentist will do everything possible to make it as painless as possible.
Porcelain veneers are known for their long-lasting result compared to composite veneers. In fact, the veneers have lasted decades, and even in many patients all their life.
Can porcelain dental veneers be tinted with tea, coffee, and wine?
Ceramic veneers never stain, however, you should continue to use the same hygiene and maintenance procedures that you used on your teeth before having the veneers.
If I have upper teeth with dental veneers, can my lower teeth look a different color?
This is a factor that will be analyzed with your dentist in the evaluation and design of the smile so that the veneers are the same color as the rest of the teeth. The majority of patients usually decide to perform a whitening on the lower teeth to achieve a matched color and ensure a better final result.
What will I feel after the veneers?
The sensation will be more smooth, similar to glass. Some patients may experience sensitivity to cold during the first few days and then it disappears. Above all, you will notice a great improvement in your dental esthetics.
What foods can I eat and which ones should I avoid?
In general you can eat all kinds of foods but soft foods are recommended during the first few days. After that initial period there is no limitation.
Can I brush my teeth after the placement of the ceramic veneers?
Yes, you can brush your teeth as normal as you have been doing so far and use dental floss.
Do not hesitate, if you want your teeth to look perfect by improving them with aesthetic dental treatment, visit us and a dental aesthetic specialist will advise you on your best choice and the differences between composite dental veneers and porcelain veneers.

The two big stories this year are: (1) Libor increasing and (2) Kong buying EDZ8-Z9. These two factors have had a negative impact on the back of the whites. Kong has also had a negative impact on the steepness of the curve past EDZ9. Kong has had an indirect effect on the curve past EDZ0, since there appears to also be some chunky EDZ9-Z0 buying from time to time, in response to Kong's EDZ8-Z9 buying. The question is, when do these two factors turn?
4 week Treasury Bill auctions. Next week's 4 week Bill auction is the last Bill whose term ends before April 16 (tax deadline, where the Treasury should get a lot of money). I'm no security expert, but as the Bill maturities start going past the April 16 tax deadline, I would think both supply and demand for bills would normalize.
March 21 (Fed Meeting). I think March 21 (or a few days afterwards) could be the earliest time where Kong may start exiting. It's widely expected that the Fed's dots will go higher. People are focusing on where the median FOMC member rate could end up, but I think Kong may be more focused on the longer term rate being higher, and the 2019 median dot being potentially higher. We can get to about 2.4% by the end of 2018 if the Fed hikes 4 hikes this year. A noticeably higher longer term rate would require more hikes in 2019. My contention has never been that buying EDZ8-Z9 made no sense on an absolute basis (1.5 hikes in 2019 is not "high") – just on a relative basis, to the rest of the curve. The chart above shows ED4-ED7 spread being over 10 bps high to the curve. Kong may want to take some of his trade off, after we get the "news" of higher long term rates in the SEP (and more hikes in 2019). Of course this could be a longer term play, where he holds until the June meeting (since a June hike is "highly probable"), or even a later meeting. But I do think there is a good chance they significantly lighten up by the end of the year. If Kong is the Z-algo, then we have seen a year-end reduction of positions in past years. But they may also want to lighten up some ahead of the elections, which could/should end up with the Republicans losing the House, and more legislative stalemates.
Before or on April 16. As we move towards April 16, we could see less Bill issuance but more importantly, more demand coming in from people who had been holding off. This could alleviate pressures on the Libor curve.
Post-April 16. I would be shocked if the Libor curve didn't normalize after April 15. This is for two reasons: (1) if most of the rise in Libor was indeed a Treasury bill effect, this would be the seasonal time where the Treasury should have much lower issuance going forward. So the libor fixings should normalize, relieving pressure on the rest of the ED-FF curve. (2) if the Treasury bill story was not the key driver of Libor being higher, then there would be no reason to think that Libor would narrow later this year, and the ED-FF spreads further out the curve should widen (normalizing the inversion of ED-FF). If there are no takers for the front end now when Libor-FF is about 45bps, why would you expect there to be takers later in the year, when rates will be higher and the Treasury will owe more money?
I have some trade thoughts for later in the week, that I discuss in the Trade Thoughts section.


New State Educational Technology Directors Association website chronicles the paths different states have taken in their online testing preparation efforts.
Dr. Geoffrey H. Fletcher is deputy executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association. Follow SETDA on Twitter @setda.
A top priority for today's district CIOs and other IT leaders is ensuring that their schools are ready to administer online assessments when they become available in the 2014–2015 school year. Among other things, they're checking district bandwidth to ensure it's sufficient to carry traffic associated with assessments, other school business and the instructional needs of students and teachers, as well as monitoring the balance of their internal networks. They're also counting available devices to ensure that everything satisfies the requirements of the testing consortia that are providing the exams for students.
How else have districts and states prepared for this type of widespread change? Implementing Online Assessments: Pathways to Success, an online, interactive tool developed by the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA), attempts to answer these questions.
The website takes an in-depth look at how four states — Delaware, Idaho, North Carolina and Virginia — successfully implemented online assessments. Each case study describes the state's history with online assessments, the evolution of their infrastructure, and their approach to training and communication with districts, and provides an in-depth look at what it took for one district to implement the assessments.
A compelling component of the Implementing Online Assessments tool is its database of downloadable resources, which can be filtered five ways: by topic area, resource type, state, target audience and time frame.
Of particular interest are the topic areas — communicating, infrastructure, needs, piloting and preparing — which state and district leaders indicated were crucial to their success. The resource types include checklists, meeting agendas with Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, reference materials, sample communications and technical specifications. So, for example, a chief technology officer could look for information regarding infrastructure and tech specifications in Delaware and North Carolina and find a robust set of resources. A curriculum or assessment specialist, meanwhile, could search the communicating and preparing topic areas for meeting agendas, slides and sample communications from Idaho and Virginia.
Early response to the site has been overwhelmingly positive among a variety of audiences. Curriculum and assessment specialists at a recent Council of Chief State School Officers meeting praised the tool, as did some state readiness coordinators during a recent webinar.
As word about the site spreads from the state to the district level, we anticipate opportunities to augment and improve the site. It is yours to use — take advantage of it.
The State Educational Technology Directors Association has developed a number of resources to assist states and districts as they prepare to implement online assessments (available at setda.org/web/guest/assessment).
One especially valuable resource is a paper released Dec. 4, 2012 — the same day that the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium issued the initial minimum and recommended technology specifications for its online assessments. The paper stresses that technology requirements for assessment must be taken in the broader context of the full range of technology issues schools are facing today. District leaders should look at technology needs for the long term, explicitly considering the technology needs to meet curricular, instructional, assessment, professional development and school operational goals. For more information, download SETDA's paper.


THROWBACK THURSDAY IN THE HOUSE to the time Anthony and I flew to Washington DC to attend the most beautiful green wedding reception for my amazing cousin. Ok, it was actually in Virginia, but tomato-tomato. We wanted to make the most out of being North East, so after the wedding & exploring DC for a day, we caught a bus and made our way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
If Europe & New York had a baby, it'd be Philly.
The architecture was so rich and ornate! Yet, it had that high frequency and buzzing vibration of New York that is so intriguing. We were able to walk around a lot of the time, which was nice, because Uber can get expensiiive. We visited the Morris Arboretum which was gorgeous. It was hotter than we had anticipated but the landscaping was really cool. They even have a human birds nest at the Tree Adventure & Out on a Limb exhibit. To be frank, we are big kids so we were laughing and having a good ol' time. However, I think this is a great stop if you had kiddos. It was a quick exhibit to get through, so it's really up to what you like.
Next we hit up the Reading Terminal Market for lunch because, PHILLY CHEESESTEAKSSS! MAN-O-MAN, it truly was the best I've ever had. We also decided to indulge in some other yummy foods like mac and cheese and oreo cheesecake, because why the hell not? It's good to occasionally treat yourself. My problem is that I treat myself once and it's like the flood gate to hell — EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT MONTH IS A TREAT-YO-SELF MOMENT! I'm working on self-discipline though. They say the first step is acceptance, lol!
We also walked around, got coffee and bacon doughnuts at La Colombe. Then caught an Uber to see the Liberty Bell. The greatest thing about sight-seeing is thinking how at one time the buildings you are standing in, didn't stand, or that the people around you were completely occupied with something WAY different than looking at this monument. For instance here at the Liberty Bell, they were thinking of Independence. Using their own lives to fight for the future of others. ON THE DAILY, I have to remember to consider Anthony's feelings, let alone a whole country's future children and their livelihoods! It was extremely humbling to look at this bell with people buzzing around, looking at walls of historic facts, and try to understand how people back then lived their lives.
We ended our quick day trip in Philly walking around until we found a pub. We had a couple of beers and in an attempt to be a good blogger, I completely forgot to take any photos to document. By the time I got to the computer to write this, the name of the cute little German place was totally lost on me. If you find a small hole in the wall that is a German establishment, well I wouldn't know if that's the same place, but I'd like to hunt for it again. They had good service, good food, and good beer. What else do you need?
I highly recommend Philly as your next US stop. It was beautiful, fun and I'd definitely go again to see all the other sites we missed out on!
Comment below with your favorite Philly destination so we can have (another) excuse to visit again!

I'm coordinating all the submissions for an organization; can I pay for them in bulk?
Yes! Our new and improved entry platform makes it easy to pay for multiple submissions in one transaction...
Once you've fill out the submission forms for each of your organization's entries, just add as many as you'd like to your cart and pay the entry fee for all of those submissions at the same time.
COVER LETTER:
Am I required to submit a cover letter to the judges?
For competition categories, each submission should be accompanied by a cover letter. The cover letter is your opportunity to provide information that will help the judges understand this submission. There is no format or minimum length requirement, and the maximum length is only determined by the submission form's field character count limit...
Possible things to touch on in the cover letter are as follows (but not limited to) and only as applicable:
Context to the element(s) provided as a whole package.
How the work in this submission is distinguished from competing reporting on the subject.
Did this submission break key aspects of this coverage.
Background on the genesis for the journalism in this submission or the event(s) that triggered the coverage.
Any unique circumstances or challenges in completing this work.
The expertise or depth of knowledge of the journalist(s) involved in the work contained in this submission.
Any claims of change-making or significant impact referenced in the cover letter must be accompanied by URLs supporting those claims.
Any significant challenge to the honesty, accuracy or fairness of an entry in any category, as well as responses to the challenge, should be included in the Cover Letter. Published letters of complaint, corrections or retractions are examples of items relevant to the judging process.
Can I include hyperlinks or URLs in my cover letter?
Yes. The cover letter field on the submission form allows hyperlinks or URLs...
The judges do not have a preference of hyperlinks or URLs. You may include whichever option is easiest.
DUPLICATE SUBMISSIONS:
My submission fits the criteria for multiple categories. Can I enter the same submission into more than one category?
Yes. The exact same submission may be entered into a maximum of two (2) distinct categories...
You will be asked to identify the submission as a duplicate on the submission form (to help with our internal tracking).
What is an element?
An element is any form of journalism including: broadcast (video, audio and podcasts), digital/online, print, still photography, graphics, interactives, data visualization, blogs, news apps and social media...
The categories in the competition group accept submissions with elements in all journalistic forms (including those produced for mobile distribution) and in any combination of forms
Can I submit podcasts in any competition category?
Yes. Podcasts can be submitted as an element in any competition category...
Video and audio (broadcast, streaming, etc.) can also be submitted as elements in any category.
How many elements can I include in each submission?
All competition categories have a minimum of one (1) element. Maximums vary from three (3) and five (5) for certain categories...
The following categories have a maximum of five (5) elements per submission:
Beat Reporting, Breaking News, Commentary, Explanatory, Feature, International, Investigative, Local, Personal Finance & Consumer Reporting, and Visual Storytelling
The following categories have a maximum of three (3) elements per submission:
Are all elements in my submission required to have a common theme?
No. There is no rule that mandates that the elements in a submission have an underlying theme or be part of a series...
Most submissions we receive seem to have an underlying theme - by topic/subject or by the primary author. However, we do receive submissions containing a collection of the individual's or organization's best work with no underlying theme.
Is there an advantage to including the maximum number of elements in my submission versus only one or two elements?
No. Submitting multiple elements will not provide you with an advantage. Submitting less than the maximum number of five elements will also in no way disadvantage you...
The submission should be a representation of your best work. If your submission is best showcased by multiple elements, then you may include up to the maximum number of elements. However, you are not required to submit more than one element.
My elements are behind a paywall, but I'm a freelancer and can't get a temporary username/password to share. What should I do?
Don't worry! Just reach out to the Loeb offices by email and we'll help you...
We can always figure out an alternate option.
Is my submission judged as a whole or is each element judged individually?
Each submission, regardless of how many elements are included, will be judged as a whole...
The elements will not be judged individually.
I would like to submit a series I wrote, but the number of articles in my series exceeds the maximum allowed elements. What should I do?
There are two options to consider...
Mention or hyperlink missing elements (or to the full series) in your cover letter to the judges. Judges view hyperlinks at their discretion.
If your missing elements are part of a project/series straddling calendar years, you may include the missing elements as Published Supplemental Material - under the following conditions:
Submission must contain eligible (calendar year 2021) elements that are part of a lengthy project or an ongoing series that straddle calendar years.
Up to three (3) URLs to published supplemental material outside of the calendar year (per Loeb Awards cycle) may be included with the submission.
Only include published supplemental material if the eligible elements in the submission are reliant on the addition of published supplemental material as part of a series or project.
Published supplemental material included in a submission is reviewed at the judges' discretion.
Reminder: A submission is strongest when the eligible elements focus on the most compelling segments.
Our article includes sidebars. Does each sidebar count as an element?
No. Sidebars are not considered part of your submission...
Sidebars will only be read and included in the material to be judged if it is designated as an element on the online submission form. Alternatively, you can mention or hyperlink a sidebar in your cover letter to the judges. Judges view hyperlinks at their discretion.
What is the entry fee? Do all submissions require an entry fee?
Competition categories require an entry fee. Career Achievement categories do not...
There is a $100 submission fee per entry in each competition category. There is no submission fee required for Lifetime Achievement Award or Minard Editor Award nominations.
Where does my entry fee go? What does it support?
Your entry fee goes directly to the administration of the Loeb Awards. The Call for Entries period is one of two ways that the Loeb Foundation generates the funds to administer the Loeb Awards for the past 65 years...
The second way the foundation receives operating money is from the sale of ticket (individuals) and table (usually news outlets) to the annual awards event in New York City.
The G. and R. Loeb Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The Loeb Awards were established in 1957 by the late Gerald Loeb, a founding partner of E.F. Hutton. UCLA Anderson has been the steward of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation since 1973.
Is the Loeb Foundation a nonprofit? Is my entry fee tax deductible?
Yes. The G. and R. Loeb Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Entry fees are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law...
The Loeb Awards were established in 1957 by the late Gerald Loeb, a founding partner of E.F. Hutton. UCLA Anderson has been the steward of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation since 1973.
INTERNATIONAL OUTLETS:
Our outlet is headquartered internationally, but we have a US based bureau. Can we still submit an entry to the Loeb Awards?
As long as the elements of the submission were published or broadcast in the United States no matter where your outlet has operations.
JOURNALIST SAFETY:
Our journalists are reporting on extremely sensitive topics or based in high-conflict locations. Do we still have to list their names on the entry form?
We are happy to make any necessary accommodation to help keep journalists as safe as possible so that they can still be recognized by the Loeb Awards for their work...
Please email Jonathan Daillak, Executive Director of the Loeb Foundation, to discuss options.
NATIONAL OUTLETS:
We are a US-based outlet and collaborate with international outlets. Can we still submit an entry to the Loeb Awards?
As long as the elements of the submission were published or broadcast in the United States no matter if you collaborated with an internationally based outlet.
Do I need to include a PDF with each submission?
No. This requirement has been retired...
There is no option to upload a PDF unless supplying a transcript for submissions in the Audio or Video categories.
SUBMITTERS:
I'm a working journalist, can I submit my own work into the competition?
Yes! All journalists can submit their work whether they are freelance or employed by an outlet...
A longstanding Loeb Awards rule is allowing ANY journalist to self-submit entries into all competition categories. Over the past 65 years, journalists who have self-submitted have become Loeb finalists and winners!
Do the judges see the name and information of the individual that is submitting an entry?
No. Judges only see the information provided on the tabs of the submission form...
Judges do not see the name of the individual that fills out the submission form or pays for the entry.

Marília Gabriela Entrevista foi um programa da televisão brasileira onde a jornalista e apresentadora Marília Gabriela conduziu entrevistas. Antes de chegar ao GNT, já havia sido exibido em outras emissoras, inclusive com outros nomes.

A jornalista Marília Gabriela estreou no GNT no comando do programa Aquela Mulher, no dia 14 de maio de 1996. Durante dois anos, Gabi entrevistou apenas mulheres que se destacavam em suas áreas, independente de quão famosas eram. Em 7 de abril de 1998, o nome do programa mudou para Marília Gabriela Entrevista, e passou a incluir entrevistados masculinos.

Nesses anos de programa, Gabi conversou com mais de 600 entrevistados, entre eles personalidades como Fernanda Montenegro, Cláudia Raia, Rodrigo Santoro, Antônio Fagundes, Luiza Brunet, além de Reynaldo Gianecchini. O ator – e ex-marido da jornalista – foi recebido, ao vivo, por ocasião da 300ª edição do programa, em setembro de 2002, e voltou a ser entrevistado em 2006 e 2010. Neste ano, a jornalista lançou também o livro Marília Gabriela Entrevista - 10 anos de GNT, em comemoração a década que completa no canal. Em 2 de dezembro de 2015 foi exibido pela última vez e nunca mais voltou à programação, devido à rescisão do contrato de Gabi com o GNT após a grade do canal sofrer uma reformulação.

HOLROYD is an enduring Rochdale success story. Established over a century ago, in 1860, it moved to its Milnrow site in 1896 and is still manufacturing there.
Although still locally based, Holroyd has successfully evolved its manufacturing effort to meet the demands of the global market.
So much so that the company's ultra-high precision milling and grinding machines have become recognised world-leaders in the production of complex helical screw components.
Uniquely for a machine tool manufacturer, the same machines that Holroyd manufactures in Rochdale and sells worldwide, are also employed in the company's fully integrated manufacturing cell at Milnrow.
Using the latest in Lean Manufacturing techniques, the cell enables Holroyd to produce an average of 40,000 helical rotor screws a year.
These components are used all over the world in air/gas compressors, refrigeration systems, engine superchargers, vacuum pumps and air conditioning systems.
The accuracy demanded in these applications - sometimes within 0.00025 inch over the complete curved surface - represents one of the most precise of all industrial tolerances, providing testament to Holroyd's ability to provide continuous ultra-precision operation in the most demanding of production environments.
Now part of Renold plc, the international engineering group, Holroyd numbers some of the biggest names in global manufacturing amongst its customers and is a major export earner for the UK, with approximately 90 per cent of its production going abroad.
"Holroyd has always been a strong export company," said sales and marketing director, Neil English.
"Our sales levels in Europe, the US and Asia have been maintained by concentrating on high technology solutions and innovation to stay ahead of the global high precision grinding market."
The effectiveness of this strategy is evidenced by Holroyd's recent successes: breaking into the fast-growing Chinese aerospace market and concluding a deal with the Mitsubishi Gear Technology Center, a highly successful US business serving the automotive and engineering services industries.
The Mitsubishi deal, to market and support Holroyd's new and revolutionary GTG2 helical gear grinder across the USA, is a major boost for the Rochdale-produced machine.
The Technology Center is a direct representative for Mitsubishi, not a distributor and has never before sold machines from any other manufacturer.
The innovation and quality that Holroyd brings to its products have resulted in many awards over the years, most recently, the Queen's Award for Enterprise 2004 in the Innovation category.
This recognised Holroyd's technological achievement in designing and manufacturing the revolutionary GTG2 gear grinding centre and the TG series of thread grinders.
The 2004 award followed similar successes in 1967 and 1993, both of which were for innovation.
"These awards are recognition of the ingenuity of our designers, their hard work and effort and the levels of investment that have gone in to produce grinding technology that literally leads the world," said Neil English.
After more than a century of excellence in innovation and design, Holroyd still remains the ideal manufacturing partner, as the company's desire to do things better, quicker and with greater efficiency remains undimmed.
Exemplifying this approach is Holroyd's Edgetek machines, which are providing manufacturers, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries, with the opportunity to greatly reduce manufacturing cycles (in some cases by over 80 per cent) while improving quality and part consistency when using a wide range of hard and exotic materials.
Commenting upon these benefits, Neil English said that "The introduction of machines such as the Edgetek and the GTG2, demonstrate conclusively that Holroyd still possesses the innovation and the design and engineering skills to produce winners in the increasingly competitive global market for machine tools."


Staring out across the monochromatic desert floor from an elevation of 5,000 feet, I can hear the voices behind me discussing the interpretive approach at this site. I'm remembering all the conversations of the past week: discussing how the geologists would interpret this view, the Southern Paiute, the Forest Service, the retired Atomic Scientist from the Nevada Test Site who said, 'From here you could see the atom bomb detonate.' Wow. That struck me. Here we are on a snow covered mountain, surrounded by desert, within 20 minutes of downtown Las Vegas. I realize that, from this single vantage point, there are a multitude of perspectives to consider and that our greatest challenge on this project will be 'what don't we talk about?', as all the people who come into contact with this site have equally compelling, yet vastly different stories to tell.
Desert View Overlook is one of many sites in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area that Sea Reach will be developing with the US Forest Service. An intensive planning effort has just been completed, and the next phase will be to get product on the ground. We will be designing, fabricating and installing everything from picnic tabletop exhibits to play space interactive interpretive elements all throughout the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area.


The first generation of Google Pixel phones was manufactured by HTC. However, this year, only the Pixel 2 was made by HTC, while the Pixel 2 XL was built by LG.
As some of you may know, the phones were codenamed as Walleye and Taimen. Long before their launch, there were rumors claiming Google would release a third Pixel phone codenamed as Muskie. The Muskie phone was eventually dropped in favor of the larger LG made Taimen, which would be later known as Pixel 2 XL. Well, the Muskie model has been spotted on AOSP code files by XDA Developers.
It turns out, the Pixel 2 XL was originally supposed to be made by HTC. The AOSP files further reveal that the HTC made Google Pixel 2 XL packs a larger battery of 3,830mAh capacity. Whereas the LG made Pixel 2 XL has a 3,520mAh battery.
Another thing that has come to light is Muskie's display offered the screen density of 560dpi. Interestingly, the Google Pixel 2 also has the same screen density.
The Muskie is also said to be equipped with a custom-made image processor called Pixel Visual Core. The Pixel 2 duo reportedly features the Pixel Visual Core image processor as well which will be enabled after receiving the Android 8.1 update.
Meanwhile, alleged codenames of the 2018 Pixel phones have been leaked. Google will reportedly launch three smartphones next year and their codenames will be Crosshatch, Albacore, and Blueline. As usual, the codenames are after fishes.
While two of these smartphones will be launched as "premium" phones, the third one could be a high-end model.


If you're looking for an EDC knife but you're on a budget, all too often that means having to accept some compromises. That's why budget knives tend to skimp on blade steel and materials. Premium materials and thoughtful design cost a pretty penny, after all. Kizer's a knife manufacturer known for overdelivering performance at competitive pricepoints, but their Aileon is especially impressive. It's a full-sized folding knife with quality blade steel and a titanium handle for under 50 dollars.
It's frankly amazing that this budget knife features a 3.5" hollow-ground CPM-S35VN blade. It has a modified clip point with a pronounced curve that makes it great for both slicing and piercing. Deployment of the blade is easy with prominent ambidextrous thumbstuds. The blade also has an attractive stonewash finish that matches the gorgeous titanium handle. That titanium composition makes for a solid and reliable frame lock. The clip on the knife is titanium, and it's set up for right-handed tip-up or down carry.
You rarely see such a capable and beautiful everyday carry knife with materials like this at this price. If you're in the market for a new EDC knife, or are looking to gift one this holiday season, the Kizer Aileon is perfect. Pick one up now at the link below.

A competitive enzyme immunoassay for screening and quantitative analysis of neomycin in milk, milk powder, tissue, honey, serum/plasma and urine samples.
Neomycin belongs to a group of broad spectrum antibiotics called aminoglycosides. These antibiotics are mainly used to treat infections caused by Gram negative bacteria in human and animals. All aminoglycosides are potentially toxic compounds and therefore maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set by the European Union. In combination with the streptomycin and gentamicin ELISA EuroProxima offers a unique panel for the detection of these three aminoglycosides in a range of matrices.
The Neomycin ELISA is a competitive enzyme immunoassay based on antibodies directed against neomycin.
Sample preparation For milk, milkpowder, tissue, honey, serum/plasma and urine fast and efficient methods are included in the kit manual.

NY Governor Cuomo Announces $91 Million to Build Affordable Housing All Across NY State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced $91 million in awards for shovel-ready projects to build affordable housing across the state. The low-interest loans and tax credits will build and preserve 2,060 units of affordable housing and are expected to leverage more than $485 million in grants, loans and private resources.
"As New York's economy gets back on track, today we are announcing awards to partners who, through a rigorous application process, presented worthy, shovel-ready projects across the state - development that will create jobs while building and preserving affordable housing for our residents," Governor Cuomo said. "By streamlining the application process, New York State is removing barriers that held back economic development for too long and made government inefficient. These funds will leverage hundreds of millions of dollars in private resources, creating valuable partnerships as we work to rebuild communities and create jobs in all corners of the state."
The funds were available through New York State Homes & Community Renewal (HCR)'s Unified Funding Application, a single-source process to apply for several funding streams for affordable, multifamily developments, part of the Governor's efforts to break down the inefficient and duplicative silos that had previously governed state funding. In total, HCR will make 33 awards, totaling over $91 million in low-interest loans and tax credits that will build and preserve 2,060 units of affordable housing. The projects are expected to leverage over $485 million in grants, loans and private resources.
HCR Commissioner/CEO Darryl C. Towns said, "Governor Andrew Cuomo charged state agencies to bring state resources together with local and federal resources in the most productive way. For us, that means working with our partners, including local governments and many of our sister state agencies, to create and preserve affordable housing. We have found impressive projects in each and every region of the state that will make a real difference in local communities."
In this round of funding, applicants competed for: low-interest loans through the Low-Income Housing Trust Fund Program (HTF); Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC); the HOME Capital Program; and State Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (SLIHC).

California Sues Trump Government Over DACA Removal
March Against DACA Completion in Los Angeles, September 10, 2017. David McNew / Getty Images
On Monday the state of California sued President Donald Trump's administration for a six-month decision to end the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA), a program that temporarily shelters about 800,000 undocumented youths from deportation.
The lawsuit filed by state prosecutor Xavier Becerra has similar arguments to the lawsuit filed last week by 15 states and Washington DC: it points out that the government violates the Constitution and other laws by rescinding DACA.
California was joined, in separate appeals, by the states of Maryland, Maine, and Minnesota.
Becerra had warned that California would file its own lawsuit because more than 200,000 beneficiaries of the DACA live in the state and would be most affected by its cancellation.
President Trump's administration, through Attorney General Jeff Session, ordered last week to stop all new applications to join the program and gave Congress a period of six months to act, otherwise immigration relief will be canceled .
The lawsuit is primarily based on procedural arguments, including, for example, that federal law requires that such decisions be made for solid reasons and only after the public has the opportunity to make formal comments. He adds that the government did not comply with federal law requiring it to consider the negative effects of the decision on small businesses.
It also cites the Fifth Amendment constitutional process, which warns immigration and administrative authorities to refrain from using information provided by program participants to deport and prosecute their employers. The complaint says that would be to misuse the information provided in good faith by program participants.
Other states that have challenged include New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia.
The University of California also filed a lawsuit last Friday.
Sessions said that President Barack Obama's executive order to authorize DACA without congressional approval "was an unconstitutional exercise of authority."
However, state demand says that the current government must follow legal procedures if it wants to end the program.

Deandre Chaney was arrested in Nevada a day after hammering three people, including two children. LAPD
An 8-year-old boy, who was hit with a hammer by his mother's ex-boyfriend last week in Sacramento, died Wednesday at the hospital, according to authorities.
Last September 1 at 6:25am, Sacramento Police Department agents responded to a call at a residence by a call that reported a violent attack. When they arrived, they discovered a 7-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl and a woman who had been beaten with a hammer by a man: it was the ex-wife of the victim and mother of the two little ones.
All three were taken to the nearest hospital under critical conditions. The wounds they sustained caused one of the two children to die five days later.
The investigators began a search for evidence from the moment they attended the scene and contacted potential witnesses to find the whereabouts of the attacker, identified as Deandre Chaney Jr., 23. The next day, the suspect was arrested by authorities in the state of Nevada.
The detectives suspect that the attack was unleashed of a verbal altercation between Chaney and the woman, who were in a sentimental relation previously. After attacking her and her children, the man stole the victim's vehicle and fled the scene.
The attacker is not unknown to law enforcement officers, as he has a violent record.
Lena Sánchez, a neighbor of the victims, who was present when the agents arrived to attend the emergency, told local media KCRA3 that one of the children was taken to the ambulance because the other apparently ran into another neighbor's house.
The Sacramento Police Department extended its thanks to the Winnemucca Police, who managed to capture the attacker through the help of the community that participated in the location of the subject.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of these victims and our agents who investigated this tragedy," said the communiqué of the unit.
University of California Sues Trump Government Over DACA
On Friday, the University of California (UC) sued the Trump administration for the end of the DACA immigration program, which protects about 800,000 youth from deportation and leaves work permits nationwide, of which more than 200,000 are in this state.
The complaint was filed by Janet Napolitano, former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who is now the president of this academic campus where some 4,000 undocumented students study, many of whom are benefiting from this immigration relief.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that they will complete the DACA program approved in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama, although the suspension will be gradual and final for up to six months, a period that Congress has to find an option to regulate the situation of dreamers.
UC, a system that trains about 240,000 students in ten statewide campuses, announced in a statement that it filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration because it believes that it violates the "unconstitutional" rights of the educational institution and of their students.
The complaint filed in federal court in California was signed by UC President Janet Napolitano, who served as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from 2009 to 2013 and encouraged the creation of DACA in 2012.
Precisely, the UC claim is directed against the Department of Homeland Security and its current incumbent, Secretary Elaine Duke.
"Neither I nor the UC took the step of denouncing the federal government, especially the agency I led," Napolitano said.
"It is imperative, however, that we stand up for these vital members of the UC community. They represent the best of what we are: hardworking, resilient and motivated winners," he added.
Napolitano said that ending the DACA program "in an arbitrary and capricious way" is not only "illegal" but "contrary" to US national values.
The text of the complaint claims that, as a consequence of the end of DACA, dreamers risk expulsion from the only place they have "called home" because of "nothing more than an executive whim without reasoning."
UC states that revoking DACA violates established administrative procedures, as well as protection of due process of law under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
The university explained that in its classrooms there are approximately 4,000 undocumented students, of whom "a significant number" has benefited from DACA.
In addition, the educational institution added that its staff also have researchers and teachers who took part in the DACA plan.
Officials In Los Angeles Warn of the Importance Of Being Prepared For A Strong Earthquake
After the powerful earthquake that shook Mexico, officials from the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management reminded Southern California residents of the importance of being ready in the event of a similar disaster in the region.
"The Los Angeles County region is vulnerable to a large-scale earthquake similar to the one impacting Mexico, " an official from the Los Angeles County Emergency Management Office (OEM) said Friday as a reminder to of the importance of being ready in the event of a natural catastrophe.
The earthquake that struck Mexico early on Friday also triggered an alert for a possible tsunami in that country and throughout Central America. Seismologists have pointed out that the incident is the largest earthquake in the country in the last hundred years.
Mexican authorities have reported that at least 58 people died as a result of the tremor and approximately 200 have been reported missing. Government officials anticipate that both figures will continue to rise as rescue and recovery operations continue. With a magnitude of 8.2 the earthquake shook and left material damages to the zones of Oaxaca, Tabasco and Chiapas and also felt in the Mexican capital and in Guatemala.
As a result of what happened in Mexico, the OEM officers in Los Angeles gave the task of warning the inhabitants of the Californian city about the importance of being ready for a strong earthquake in the area.
"All residents and business owners must take the necessary steps now to prepare for earthquakes and other hazards and threats," said Ken Kondo, a OEM member.
California is one of the most active seismic zones on planet Earth and the state is also vulnerable to tsunamis, floods, forest fires and even volcano eruptions.
For this, the organization distributed a list of recommendations including how to register to receive emergency alerts and how to register to participate in the 'Great California ShakeOut' drill , to be held Oct. 19.
The OEM also offers an online survival guide that is available in Spanish. This manual highlights four steps to be prepared in case of emergency: have a plan, store provisions, stay informed and participate.
10 fundamental measures
Among the main recommendations of the guide are:
1. Know the threats in your area.
2. Identify meeting points (outside your home, outside of your neighborhood).
3. Choose your out-of-state contact.
4. Study the evacuation routes (exits and alternative changes to leave the house).
5. Locate the service cutters (water, gas, electricity).
6. Study the emergency policies of schools and geriatric centers (shelters / emergency supplies, transportation).
7. Identify safe places to be covered in each room if necessary (under hard-standing tables and desks, against internal walls).
8. Additional medications.
9. Take special precautions for: children, seniors, pets, people with disabilities, non-English speakers.
10. Schedule annual exercises in case of emergency.
Blizzard sets up its own eSports stadium in Los Angeles
The Blizzard Arena will open Oct. 7 with the Overwatch Contenders
Blizzard's commitment to eSports, and especially to the Overwatch League, is overwhelming. The Californian company has announced the creation of the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles, which will host competitions around its games and will open on October 7.
The new area is located in Burbank Studios of the North American city, former scene of telelvision programs. That is why it will be well equipped with several sets, control rooms, facilities for players to practice … The intention is that activities behind their doors do not stop at a single moment of the year.
In addition to the tickets for the various competitions, much of the revenue from the stadium will come from an official Blizzard store whose items will vary according to the tournament that takes place – a market strategy similar to that used in soccer stadiums or basketball.
"We're at a tipping point for esports and we look forward to helping usher in a new era of competition-based entertainment," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, in a release. "As we open the doors of Blizzard Arena Los Angeles and welcome fans from around the world, we're honored to bring the best in Blizzard esports to the same stage that some of the biggest names in entertainment have called home."
The elimination phase of the Overwatch Contenders will be the first event to host the Blizzard Arena on 7 and 8 October. Shortly thereafter, on October 13 and during that weekend will take place the final of the summer championship of the Hearthstone Championship Tour, with a prize of $ 250,000.
It will also be in the California stadium where the final stages of the Heroes of the Storm Global Championship and the World of Warcraft Arena Championship will be seen in late October.
The latest event to be held this year at the Blizzard Arena, and probably the most important, is the beginning of the Overwatch League, the strong commitment of Anaheim developers to equate the structure of the eSports industry with traditional sports.

Every year, the scene is the same: It's November, I'm driving somewhere, flipping through radio stations, and suddenly Christmas music is wafting through my speakers.
And every year, my response is similar. I'm not ready to think about Christmas. It's too early. So, I switch stations and put it out of my mind.
Part of this reaction connects back to my years in college when Christmastime was synonymous with exams, final papers and due dates. Christmas music on the radio meant I was running out of time.
But beginning Dec. 1 to Christmas day, Advent is a season custom-made for heart preparation. Its intention is to prompt us to set aside a bit of space each day to ready our hearts for the entrance of Christ.
This season of preparation always catches me off guard.
But rather than let the busyness of the Christmas season overshadow the presence of a holiday designed to celebrate God's love and sacrifice – the very entrance of the gospel into the world – I should be preparing my heart to respond to Him out of love and gratitude.
Spend intentional time digging into God's Word as Christmas approaches. YouVersion provides a free 25-day Advent reading plan to help center each day on Jesus.
Read a brief Advent devotional each day. Here is one written by Cru staff member Erik Segalini. Drawing on truths embedded in many Christmas songs you've heard (and probably some you haven't), this little book ties our favorite holiday tunes directly back to Jesus.
As a family, fill some containers with dirt. Fill a bowl with grass/wheat seeds, and during Advent, search for small acts of kindness each family member can perform. For each kind act, plant a seed. Water regularly. On Christmas Eve, gather the sprouts of grass and lay them in Jesus' manger.
If you're a reader, a book that walks through the Advent season might be up your alley.
Spend some time in prayer, asking God how you can best prepare your heart to celebrate the entrance of His Son into the world. Consider observing Advent in community with other believers – your family or small group.
That way, when Christmas morning arrives, your attention will encompass more than stockings and Christmas dinner and the gifts beneath the tree. Instead, your heart will be captured by the ultimate gift – Jesus.
Originally from Detroit, Martha now serves in Orlando, giving leadership to Cru's Summer Missions. This is the first of in series of advent reflections for this season of hope and anticipation.
What do you long for the most? What is your heart longing for?
If you're like me, you know that the "right" answer is Christ, yet maybe it's not your first thought. Mine either. From a young age, I dreamed about the future, and the joy I would experience there. I longed for marriage and family. I was not longing for Christ, but instead for the pleasure that my life would surely give me.
Now, my reality has shifted – I have experienced real pain from unmet expectations, team conflicts, and relationship disappointments. Life doesn't look the way I had hoped. Some days I feel contentment and satisfaction in my life and ministry, and then there are days when unmet desire drives my heart to ache for something more.
In my brokenness, I catch myself waiting for life to change, to stop delivering sorrow, but it does not and never will. I am longing for this sin-stained world to deliver a better life in vain. But I must be the one to change – to instead long for Jesus as the one who has come to deliver me and save me from this worldly grief.
This is how I want to move towards God - with an open, soft heart, believing He sees, He knows and is safe. I respond to His invitation to share my sorrows, and shed my tears. I find refuge in His comforting presence. I remember His own suffering on the cross and my reconciled relationship with Him because of His death on my behalf. I grasp the eternal hope held out to me because of His resurrection.
Jesus is the One I am waiting for. Jesus Himself. Jesus is not only my refuge, but He is my strength in weakness. My comfort in sorrow. My shield from the enemy. My hope in the face of despair.
I pray this advent season, you and I would recognize the coming of our Savior into the world is the "thrill of hope" our weary souls ache for!
Come. Let us draw near and worship him, Christ the Lord.

Home MLB Adam Wainwright Making Postseason History (Pirates vs Cardinals)
Adam Wainwright Making Postseason History (Pirates vs Cardinals)
Morgan Petrelli
On the mound, it was Adam Wainwright setting franchise records and being close to untouchable. At bat, it began with Carlos Beltran and his 3-run homer that sparked the St. Louis Cardinals into life, eventually taking a 1-0 lead in their NL division series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
All the difference was about Wainwright, on one side for the Cardinals, and A.J. Burnett on the other end for the Pirates. Wainwright allowed only 3 hits and one run in the 7 innings he pitched, striking out nine batter without allowing a single walk. On the other end, Burnett gave up six hits and 7 runs in the 2 innings he was in, walking for more players and leaving the game with a 31.5 ERA. Jeanmar Gomez did a decent job after him in stopping the slide, but it was far too late to stop the 1-9 loss. Wainwright came into the game after going 4-0 in his last five starts, leading the NL with 19 wins. He is now 3-0 with a 2.27 ERA in 14 postseason games, five of them starts.
With his impressive performance, Adam Wainwright is the 1st pitcher in Cardinals franchise history with 9 strikeouts and 0 walks in a playoff game. He is also the 2nd Cardinals pitcher to strike out at least 5 batters in each of his first 5 postseason starts. The other was Bob Gibson, who did it in his first 9 postseason starts.
As for Burnett, his numbers were the matter of history, but on the negative side. It was his fifth start in Busch stadium since joining the Pirates last season, and he's been awful on almost every opportunity he's hard to pitch there. In 18 innings played, he has posted a 15.50 ERA, allowing 37 hits and 31 runs, with a WHIP of 2.61, striking out 16 players while allowing 10 walks.
He turned into the the starter in major-league history to allow 7 earned runs and get 6 outs or fewer in a postseason game. Like the rest of the distinguished members of this group, his team couldn't overcome such awful pitching. He's the 1st since Roberto Hernandez, named Fausto Carmona at the time, in Game 6 of the 2007 ALCS. He's the first NL pitcher to do this bad since Brad Penny in the 2003 NLCS.
Burnett was the pitcher who Beltran hit the home run that began all the problems and pretty much ended the game. Beltran had 24 home runs this season for the Cardinals, but none of them as long as the 422-feet shot he got out of Burnett, and it's his longest since a 458-foot shot off Jeff Weaver at Shea Stadium on Oct. 12, 2006. Beltran was the only one for the Cardinals to hit a home run on the day, but during that 7-run inning there were a few others the Pirates couldn't touch. Jon Jay was especially difficult, finishing with 1-for-2, finishing with an RBI and two more walks.
To be able to get out on a good first step and play well today I think is big for our guys confidence-wise. Gives us an opportunity to just take some momentum, and momentum is big right now when you talk about a five-game series.

Fiction for children, mainly middle grade. My lead characters are often bemused by the world around them – they do say 'write what you know'. The MA course has pushed me to experiment with different styles and genres. I now have several 'Works in Progress' which I look forward to developing.
Both! I type faster than I write, but when I'm working at a computer I'm more likely to go back and edit what I've done. If I use a pad and pen I just keep going, but I do sometimes struggle to read my handwriting.
Where do you write? Where would you like to write?
I usually write at home or in a library. Home is my favourite place and I always feel at home in a library, so I don't yearn to write anywhere else.
Research is fascinating – and a great way to avoid writing. I enjoy finding ideas for stories and voices for my characters. Plotting is more problematic – I'm definitely a pantser – but my partner is great at finding plot holes.
Does your Litmus entry have a soundtrack?
No, but I do like to have music while I work – it helps me to focus. I prefer my iPod to the radio as the music is familiar and I don't get distracted by the DJs.
Favourite author or poet – can you manage just one?
As a child I read Enid Blyton, the Pullein-Thompson sisters, C S Lewis, Louisa Mae Alcott – anything I could get my hands on. I still return to my favourite childhood authors and read more children's and young adult fiction than anything else. If I had to choose one author of adult fiction, I'd choose Anne McCaffrey. She wrote fantasy, space, dragons, adventure, horses, romance and crime. It's hard to get bored with someone with such a wide range.
There are holes in the sky Where the rain gets in But they're ever so small That's why the rain is thin.
Cat, dog, budgie, bunny or goldfish?
Two dogs and two cats – a dog makes a very warm back support when writing. Walking the dogs is good for my writing. Something about a steady walking pace helps with rhythm, and looking at the world around me is great for inspiration. Best of all, the dogs and cats seldom criticise; they don't mind hearing me read the same piece over and over again and are good for a cuddle if I'm feeling disheartened.


Not even a fortnight ago snow was on the ground and a winter weather advisory. Fast forward a week and a half and the playgrounds are filled to capacity with kids who don't need jackets. Welcome to Memphis.
We've made the most of our time outside, hitting two playgrounds in just as many days. Adam rode his bike on the cove last night while I pushed Tatum in the stroller. I think it's so important for my kids to see me appreciating nature on a beautiful day. All of us could stand to move a little more, technology a little less, and go outside as often as possible.
In my illness induced state of delirium Blog Buzz slipped my mind these past two weeks. Check out the debut column and look for it again on Friday. Feel free to leave suggestions for interesting blogs [yours or somebody else's] in the comments for this post.
The remainder of my lazy Sunday consists of some serious calendar action. I've committed to teaching RE once a month at Neshoba for this semester. Melissa and I plan on a weekend road trip to Oklahoma in March. Come April I'm hosting a children's literary soiree for Brittany. And then there's two different spring break schedules and multiple options associated with those.

Yet more on Mynydd Y Betw stone row: British Archaeological Trust calls for work to be halted
17/02/2012 in Damage and desecration, Planning applications, Stone rows | by heritageaction | 1 comment
In a further development yesterday Rescue, the British Archaeological Trust called for work on the wind farm to be stopped and for a survey of the whole mountain to be carried out.
Spokesman Peter Alexander-Fitzgerald said "You have to remember that all is showing is the top of these stones – we don't know what else is there. This could form a landscape of major importance."
However, a spokesman for Cambrian Renewable Energy said that since Sandy Gerrard had discovered the stone row "construction works in the area were diverted while we worked with Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Government's heritage organization Cadw to fully survey the area and catalogue the finds. This work is now complete and Cadw and the council are satisfied that construction works in the area can proceed."
Clearly someone is completely wrong about whether there may be further hidden features and someone is completely right. On that basis it is hard to see how Mr Alexander-Fitzgerald's "You have to remember that all is showing is the top of these stones – we don't know what else is there" isn't a proper and reasonable statement and a good basis for further action or how Cambrian Renewable Energy, Cadw and the council can feel "satisfied" for work to proceed. Do they KNOW there is nothing else to be found? How?
