I see it at least twice a year. I think I have photos from the last time it happened.
I can still recall how it feels to have EVERY stitch of clothing washed, folded and put away. I know what it's like to have all the sheets and towels clean and stored and all the beds freshly made.
I know what it looks like when all the laundry baskets are neatly stacked and the laundry room floor is clean.
Right about then, what normally happens is that I'm so worn out and exhausted from the laundry push that I give myself the rest of the week off. (thus starting the whole stupid cycle over again).
Or, more commonly, that's about when some sort of illness strikes my house. The kind that generates a lot of extra laundry.
When you talk to someone who has fully recovered from their addiction, they share a story about hitting bottom and reaching the point where they realize they have to change… because they just can't live with themselves any longer.
When I've struggled with depression, I hit a point that I just KNOW is bottom… and I know things will get better from there.
So what does THAT look like for my laundry?
Is there a point that is just so horrible and awful that I would reform my ways and become amazing at laundry? Is there some magical horribly embarrassing moment that would become a driving force for the rest of my life – driving me to keep the laundry monster at bay?
If there IS a bottom for laundry failure, what is it?
I've shared my laundry problems before. I make no secret about how much I loathe sock sorting and that my family generally dresses themselves out of baskets.
Even though my son is wearing the same shirt for the 4th time this week, it's not a sign that I've lost the laundry war. (1) He was wearing it continually to see if I'd notice (2) I washed it and handed it back to him (3) It's his favorite shirt.
I know how bad my laundry mess has been at times.
I know how it feels to wear a swimsuit under my jeans while I do laundry.
I know how it feels to have to rewash the same load for the fifth time because it's soured.
And NONE of that is bad enough to make me change my ways.
Y'all… help me out here. Can you envision something that would represent a huge "bottom of the basket" moment that would change your laundry life?
Tell me the answer is NO. I need to hear that it's NO.
Did it work? Is there a magical laundry playlist you can share?
I HATE that laundry can leave me feeling so defeated. I'm increasingly convinced that it's a spiritual battle because it really can steal my joy.
My problem is that even when I do get to the bottom of my laundry basket, I leave the clothes in the dryer for days then have to put a bunch of them in the ironing basket. I\'m thinking about getting a standing steamer for triage \"ironing as needed\". My daughter got one as a wedding present and she says it is her very favorite thing that she never knew she couldn\'t live without!
What is this "ironing" thing you speak of?
Seriously, I just throw stuff back in the dryer with a wet towel. If it's too wrinkled after that I either rewash it or donate it.
Brilliant plan! I'm going to start doing that!
I've got 5 sons under the age of 8 so I can really relate to this! Sock sorting is not a problem because I force everyone to wear plain black socks! The kids school uniform pants are grey so it's ok for school and that way I don't have to sit on the kitchen floor for hours at a time pairing socks up which is what I used to do!

L'école de Nancy, Alliance provinciale des industries d'art – plus simplement nommée l'école de Nancy – est le fer de lance de l'Art nouveau en France, dont l'inspiration essentielle est à chercher dans les formes végétales  et animales, comme les libellules. Cette alliance s'appuie sur une recherche d'utilisation poussée dans la verrerie, la ferronnerie, l'acier, le bois, pour mettre le beau dans les mains de tous et ainsi faire entrer l'art dans les foyers.

Objectifs

Les fondateurs définissent l'école de Nancy comme une « sorte de syndicat des industriels d'art et des artistes décorateurs, [qui] s'efforce de constituer en province, pour la défense et le développement des intérêts industriels, ouvriers et commerciaux du pays, des milieux d'enseignement et de culture favorables à l'épanouissement des industries d'art ». Son but, tel qu'il est décrit à l'article 1 des statuts de l'association, est de « favoriser la renaissance et le développement des métiers d'art en province ».

À sa création en date du , l'association est dotée d'un bureau, composé d'un président, Émile Gallé, et de trois vice-présidents, Louis Majorelle, Antonin Daum et Eugène Vallin.

L'objectif est notamment de faire rayonner la Lorraine, riche de ses nombreuses industries (aciéries, etc.) et artisanats d'art (cristalleries, ébénisteries, travail du verre, du bronze d'art, de la faïence et de la céramique), au filtre d'un sentiment patriotique issu de l'immigration de nombreux Français originaires d'Alsace et de l'actuelle Moselle qui, toutes deux, avaient été incorporées à l'Empire allemand depuis la Guerre franco-allemande de 1870. L'École de Nancy se voulait un art total par la collaboration de tous les corps de métiers (architecture, ameublement, arts décoratifs), mais également l'héritière de l'Ecole de Metz, d'inspiration romantique, dissoute à l'annexion de 1871, et dont de nombreux membres ont émigré vers Nancy.

Principes
Ses promoteurs se fixent comme but de promouvoir les arts décoratifs.

Disciplines
Les membres de cette école se sont illustrés dans de nombreuses disciplines, notamment l'architecture, la verrerie et la cristallerie, le vitrail, la ferronnerie, l'ébénisterie, le papier peint, la typographie, l'imprimerie, la reliure d'art. On peut citer également d'autres terrains d'investigation, tels la broderie (Fernand Courteix]), l'orfèvrerie (André Kauffer), le dessin, l'estampe, l'affiche publicitaire, la photographie.

Influences
Au sein du style Art nouveau, l'école de Nancy se distingue par une réhabilitation du gothique flamboyant et du rococo, la première étant vraisemblablement un héritage de l'école de Metz.

La nature est une source d'inspiration importante. Elle s'inspire des décors floraux du Moyen Âge pour en faire le sujet premier de nombreuses œuvres. C'est ainsi qu'Émile Gallé fréquente l'école forestière de Nancy et collabore avec le naturaliste Alexandre Godron. Il publie plusieurs articles scientifiques. Cette inspiration est facilitée par le fait que Nancy abrite un centre d'horticulture reconnu.

La présence du Japonais Takashima Hokkai à Nancy, de 1885 à 1889, aura un impact sur le thème oriental de nombreuses œuvres.

Histoire
Présents depuis plusieurs années dans les expositions parisiennes, les artistes nancéiens ont l'occasion d'exposer pour la première fois en 1894 leurs productions à l'exposition d'art décoratif lorrain. Plus de 76 exposants parmi lesquels Émile Gallé, Louis Majorelle, Eugène Vallin, proposent aux galeries Poirel sept cents pièces dans diverses techniques confondues.

L'exposition d'art décoratif est le premier acte de la Société des arts décoratifs lorrains, qui donnera lieu à la naissance de l'École de Nancy.

L'activité de cette école se déroule principalement à Nancy et s'impose lors de l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889, où Émile Gallé et Louis Majorelle voient leur talent reconnu, jusqu'en 1909 où le mouvement connaît sa dernière manifestation collective à Nancy, dans le cadre de l'Exposition internationale de l'Est de la France. Par la suite, le style évolue lentement vers ce qui constituera l'une des impulsions de l'Art déco français.

Contexte

L'Art nouveau
À la suite du mouvement Arts & Crafts né en Angleterre, l'Art nouveau se généralise en Europe durant les décennies 1880-1890. Il atteint des villes très importantes comme Barcelone, Bruxelles, Paris, Munich, Vienne, Glasgow, Prague… Le nouvel intérêt des artistes et des artisans pour la vie quotidienne rencontre l'attrait du public pour la modernité, que ce soit dans les décors urbains ou à l'intérieur des maisons. Émile Gallé expose dès 1889 à l'exposition universelle de Paris. Les artistes nancéiens se font connaître lors du salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts de Paris en 1891 et 1893.

Nancy
Après le rattachement à la France au , Nancy a perdu une grande partie de son attraction et, en 1850, elle ne compte que . Les constructions du canal de la Marne au Rhin en 1851, et de la ligne de chemin de fer reliant Paris à Strasbourg, en 1856, permettent le développement des industries chimique et sidérurgique en entraînant un nouvel essor de la ville. Des activités traditionnelles, comme la céramique et le travail du verre, connaissent un regain.

Mais c'est l'annexion de 1871 qui fait de Nancy la capitale de l'est de la France. L'afflux d'Alsaciens-Mosellans fuyant l'annexion allemande entraîne le développement de l'activité économique et intellectuelle ainsi que la construction de nouveaux quartiers. L'Art nouveau sert de ciment culturel pour ces optants, qui ont trouvé refuge à Nancy.

Cependant, la pression croissante sur les loyers entraîne la relégation des classes populaires dans les quartiers de la vieille ville et du canal.

Fondation de l'école

En 1894, une exposition d'arts décoratifs et industriels lorrains est organisée dans les galeries Poirel par l'architecte Charles André. Les membres de la commission de cette manifestation fondent alors la Société des arts décoratifs lorrains. C'est la première fois que les artistes nancéiens exposent ensemble.

En 1900, Émile Gallé, Louis Majorelle et les verreries Daum présentent leurs travaux à l'Exposition universelle de Paris.

En 1901, Émile Gallé rédige une lettre ouverte, publiée le , dans le quotidien L'Étoile de l'Est, et le 15, dans la revue La Lorraine-Artiste. Dans cet article, il propose de créer un groupement visant à la promotion du développement d'une industrie d'art en Lorraine.

L'Association de l'école de Nancy ou Alliance Provinciale des Industries d'Art est créée le . Elle a pour but :
 de promouvoir le rayonnement culturel de la ville de Nancy ;
 de trouver des pratiques et thèmes propres à unir les productions des membres de l'association, tout en préservant leur autonomie ;
 de valoriser les industries d'art en créant une école, un musée, des expositions…

Elle regroupe des artistes et artisans mais aussi des entrepreneurs, des journalistes, des amateurs d'arts…

Faute de financement, seuls Majorelle et Daum peuvent participer à l'exposition des Arts Décoratifs de Turin, en 1902.

En 1903, l'École expose au pavillon de Marsan, dans le palais du Louvre, à l'initiative de l'Union centrale des arts décoratifs.

Une nouvelle exposition est organisée dans les galeries Poirel en 1904.

Déclin

Gallé décède le , Victor Prouvé le remplace à la tête de l'association.

En 1909 est organisée, à Nancy, l'Exposition internationale de l'Est de la France. Les artistes de l'École de Nancy, regroupés dans un pavillon du parc Sainte-Marie, exposent ensemble pour la dernière fois.

Marginalisation
La guerre de 1914, puis le développement du mouvement Art déco, par exemple par Daum, Gruber ou Majorelle, marginalisent l'Art nouveau. Comme dans le reste de l'Europe, le style est dédaigné jusqu'au début des années 1980.

Le musée de l'École de Nancy est inauguré en 1964.

Dans les années 1970, des opérations d'urbanisme comme celle du quartier de la gare de Nancy entraînent la destruction de nombreux bâtiments appartenant à ce courant. La verrière de Jacques Gruber, située dans l'actuel bâtiment Crédit lyonnais, est menacée de destruction en 1976. Elle est sauvée par le service des monuments historiques.

Redécouverte
En 1985, Jos Decock réalise pour la ville de Nancy une gigantesque installation de tissu peint à l'encre noire indélébile, "Hommage à l'école de Nancy", à l'hôtel de ville de Nancy.

En 1999 est célébrée l'année de l'École de Nancy. Cet anniversaire est l'occasion de restaurer et d'exposer des œuvres qui étaient jusque-là conservées dans les réserves du musée. Entre 1998 et 2000, on réalise une opération de restauration et de mise en valeur de près de trois cent cinquante ouvrages d'architecture.

Aujourd'hui, les œuvres de l'École de Nancy participent à l'identité de la ville et constituent un vecteur de communication. En 2012, on remarquera parmi les clins d'œil à ce mouvement artistique le nouveau logo de Télécom Nancy, école d'ingénieurs de l'université de Lorraine.

Membres du mouvement

L'École est créée formellement le  par Émile Gallé, Louis Majorelle, Antonin Daum et Eugène Vallin, qui en constituaient le bureau.

Ils participent aussi au comité directeur avec :
Charles André, Émile André, Henri Bergé, Oscar Berger-Levrault, Albert Bergeret, Charles-Désiré Bourgon, Ernest Bussière, Paul Charbonnier, Alfred Finot, Émile Friant, Charles Fridrich, Camille Gauthier, Émile Goutière-Vernolle, Jacques Gruber, Louis Guingot, Henry Gutton, Robert Herborn, Louis Hestaux, André Kauffer, Jules Larcher, Jules Lombard, Henri Morot, Émile Nicolas, Victor Prouvé, Henri-Paul Royer, Gaston Save, Georges Léon Schwartz, Paul Souriau, Robert Steinheil, Michel Thiria, Lucien Weissenburger, Lucien Wiener, Takashima Hokkai.

Après la mort d'Émile Gallé, la responsabilité de l'École de Nancy est confiée à Victor Prouvé, élu président le .

Productions

Verrerie

Céramique

Céramique d'art

Céramique architecturale
Dès 1902, Louis Majorelle, en s'associant avec Bigot, l'exploite pour décorer l'architecture de sa villa, alors en construction. En 1903, Majorelle se voit proposer, aux côtés de Gruber et Vallin, une collaboration avec Alphonse Cytère. Ce dernier met à la disposition des trois artistes ses usines de céramiques de Rambervillers.

Mobilier

Architecture

Symboles de progrès, le fer, puis l'acier, donnèrent à l'Art nouveau les moyens techniques nécessaires au renouvellement des formes, tant souhaité par Viollet-le-Duc, et parfois même les suscitèrent. L'ensemble des réalisations de l'architecture 1900, à Nancy, nous montre à quel point la diversité des matériaux utilisés est grande. La pierre d'Euville, le grès, la meulière, la céramique, la brique, le bois, le verre, et bien sûr le fer, sont à la disposition de l'architecte ou du décorateur. Le métal a toutefois une place à part : c'est le matériau le plus apte à s'adapter à la fois à la structure et au décor architectural. Sa nature ambivalente lui permet de transcender l'antagonisme existant entre ces deux systèmes, et d'en faire une synthèse harmonieuse.

Sur les deux cent cinquante bâtiments recensés par le ministère de la Culture, environ une cinquantaine sont protégés au titre des monuments historiques, notamment :
 la villa Majorelle ;
 le quartier de Saurupt et ses villas ;
 la brasserie Excelsior ;
 la chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Meurthe-et-Moselle ;
 le musée de l'École de Nancy qui présente la riche collection léguée par Eugène Corbin, principal mécène du mouvement ;
 le musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy présente une riche collection Daum, dans une muséographie originale ;
 la maison Chardot, cours Léopold, flanquée d'autres demeures de style Art nouveau.

Q: How to define interfaces in TypeScript to pass the props correctly? I have a simple component which renders a logo text
interface AppBarLogoProps = {
  logo: string;
};

export const AppBarLogo: FC<AppBarLogoProps> = ({ logo }) => {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>
        {logo}
      </h1>
    </>
  );
};

and the AppBarTop component which is more complex than below, but the idea is that I want to pass the logo prop from AppBarTop  to AppBarLogo.
The problem is that I have to use logo.logo notation. How should I define interfaces to use return <AppBarLogo logo={logo} /> instead of return <AppBarLogo logo={logo.logo} /> ?
interface AppBarTopProps {
  logo: AppBarLogoProps;
}

export const AppBarTop: FC<AppBarTopProps> = ({ logo }) => {
   return <AppBarLogo logo={logo.logo} />
}

A: You can use TypeScript intersection &:
interface AppBarLogoProps {
  logo: string;
};

interface AppBarTopProps {
  foo: string
}

export const AppBarTop: React.FC<AppBarTopProps & AppBarLogoProps> = ({ logo, foo }) => {
  return <AppBarLogo logo={logo} />
}

Also, you should probably not use FC and simply use function:
export const AppBarTop2 = ({ logo, foo }: AppBarTopProps & AppBarLogoProps) => {
  return <AppBarLogo logo={logo} />
}

A: like this?
interface AppBarTopProps extends AppBarLogoProps {
    // other properties
}

export const AppBarTop: FC<AppBarTopProps> = (props) => {
   return <AppBarLogo {...props} />
}

Bill Hewlett Bio, Founder of Hewlett Packard
Born in Ann Arbor on May 20, 1913, before moving to San Francisco at age 3, Bill Hewlett was the co-founder of the Hewlett-Packard Company, with David Packard.
Packard and Hewlett met as undergraduates at Stanford, and in 1939, after Hewlett finished his graduate engineering work at Stanford and MIT, the two began working out of a garage in Palo Alto and decided on the company name Hewlett-Packard, over Packard-Hewlett, on the basis of a coin toss.
A small-scale initiative at first, the company didn't incorporate until 1947, and went public a decade later.
Hewlett-Packard designed a manufactured a wide variety of electronic products, with no real focus in its first years — products included signal generators and oscilloscopes, oscillators used by the Walt Disney Company in the surround sound systems used for the groundbreaking movie Fantasi.
And agricultural equipment, and the company's biggest early success was the Model 200A, a precision audio oscillator that was more reliable than their competitors' but cost barely a quarter the price, thanks to Hewlett and Packard's innovations. That particular product was so successful that it continued to sell well into the 1970s, despite all the changes in the industry in the meantime.
In time, the company came to focus on test equipment and measuring devices, such as voltmeters, signal generators, and electronic thermometers; the company's hallmark was to increase the range or accuracy of measurement over what was offered by other companies, even if only by a little.
HP's headquartering in Palo Alto precipitated the shift of the tech industry to that part of California, surrounding Stanford University, and it is today considered the founding company of Silicon Valley.
The company began developing semiconductors in the 1960s, principally for use in their own devices rather than sale, and when it was dissatisfied with Digital Equipment Corporation's minicomputers, it began to manufacture its own in 1966, introducing the HP 2100 and HP 1000 series of computers.
While the series went through many upgrades, the basic design persevered through the 1980s, and HP's first line of desktop computers premiered in the 1970s — ten years before IBM introduced the market-defining PC.
HP's calculators and printers were groundbreaking. Among other products, it introduced the first handheld programmable calculator (HP-65) in 1974, containing as much power as many business computers of the time.
Its first inkjet and laser printers for desktop computers were introduced in 1984, when dot matrix and thermal printers were still the common standard, but it wasn't until the next decade that HP started to target consumers — prior to that, businesses and especially fellow businesses in the technology industry had been their presumed base.
They acquired other smaller computer manufacturers, and by the end of the 90s, computers became HP's main focus: everything not related to computers, storage, or imaging was spun off into Agilent, the largest IPO in Silicon Valley history.
Hewlett passed away in 2001, some fourteen years after his retirement from the board.

Sustained advocacy on good governance, democracy and climate change
Country: Republic of Maldives
Organization: Voice of Women-Maldives
Representative: Thilmeeza Hussain
Email: thil@voiceofwomen.org
Description of the project: Voice of Women has continued to advocate about the importance of democracy and a good governance system to address climate change effectively. In particular, the negative effects on women who are disproportionately impacted. For three short years under the first democratic president, women were empowered. After the coup d'état that overthrew the democratic government in 2012, women collectively took to the streets in numbers never seen in the history of the country. They organized to call for fresh elections and continue to call to restore democracy in the country.
Climate Impact: Under very difficult conditions, VoW was the only NGO in the country that addressed climate change and democracy. VoW worked to make the issue a bipartisan issue and held the first event, "Women Organizing to Address Climate Justice" in partnership with WECAN, an event that was attended by former President Nasheed and the current environment Minister who signed the WECAN declaration at the same table. VoW continued its advocacy work not only on the area of gender and climate change but also on protection of basic human rights and women's rights in the Maldives.
Gender Impact: Climate Change is a human's rights issue for everyone, but we have seen that it puts a heavier burden on women than men. During the 2004 tsunami, we saw first-hand, the effects of women displaced and forced to live in temporary housing. These women were subject to sexual assaults, harassment and abuse; access to reproductive care such as safe facilities to give birth and take care of children were not available. Climate Justice is understanding that these inequalities add an unfair burden on certain groups of people as a result of climate change and tries to make arrangements to alleviate these burdens, taking these inequalities into account while taking adaptation measures. VoW continues its work to raise awareness on the issue both domestically and internationally.


On Sunday night we shot a promotional video for British charity "The Real Bread Campaign" a group who fight for the production, sale and consumption of bread made with real ingredients (see http://www.sustainweb.org/realbread/ for more info).
There were seven puppeteers involved in the shoot; London School of Puppetry students, graduates and Caroline herself (head of the school). We operated lip sync and rod puppets created by LSP students and graduates; puppets styled to look like various types of bread! The building of these puppets was something I unfortunately missed due to my injury earlier in the year, however I was wrapped to have the opportunity to be apart of the shoot. I operated two cottage loaves that looked distinctly like Grannies, built by Caroline.
The shoot took place in a bakery in London (The E5 Bakehouse) and ran for six hours, 6pm-MIDNIGHT. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience as everyone on board was enthusiastic, organised and behaved in a very professional manner. We worked to a song written specifically for the promo and were asked to record our voices for the audio. This was very funny as each puppeteer had chosen some silly voice for their character, or in my case, two characters. We all had to swallow our giggles as this went on so as not to ruin the recordings. The sound engineer seemed to be doing the same!
With a fantastic crew, lovely actors and a band of crazy puppeteers, this night was a lot of fun. Not to mention a very patient, supportive and enthusiastic director in Perrin Sledge. Though my arms and hands were tired, and I wandered home exhausted (well past my bedtime), it was all worth it. I feel very happy to have been apart of this project and wish The Real Bread Campaign every success with their mission! I will post the finished video in my Gallery as soon as it is released.


The Kern County Veterans Service Department will commemorate the 242nd birthday of the United States Marine Corps with a ceremony this Friday.
The ceremony will be held on Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. in the parking lot of the Veterans Service Department located at 1120 Golden State Avenue near M Street.
There will be a presentation of the colors by a Marine Corps Color Guard, National Anthem, bagpipes and reading of remarks from 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, General John Lejeune. The current Commandant, General Robert Neller, will precede the traditional cake cutting ceremony.
Historically during this ceremony, the first piece of cake is served to the oldest Marine present and the second piece is served to the youngest Marine present.
The Marine Corps' roots trace back to Nov. 10, 1775 when two battalions of Marines were established and authorized by Continental Congress to conduct ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security, discipline enforcement and assist in landing forces.


I was going to wait to type up my review until my partner in crime read "Lethal Rider," but the anticipation of my review has been haunting me. =) I type haunting because I've been dreaming about this book ever since I read it. I came across Larissa Ione's Demonica books one day a couple of years ago at Barnes & Noble. I skimmed through the book's descriptions and then proceeded to grab them up. I read them ALL pretty quickly that I was craving more of her writing after I was done. I was excited when she announced a new series…Lords of Deliverance. Lethal Rider is the third book in the series. Larissa never disappoints with her books at all. She keeps me enthralled from the first chapter to the last chapter. Once I'm at the last chapter though, I want more. "Lethal Rider" is finally about Thanatos aka Death, the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse. He has been stuck in a paralyzed state since the end of last book "Immortal Rider." His brother and sister had to immobilize him otherwise he would've slaughtered everyone, and anyone had his sister's Wedding. He was used by Regan Cooper who is part of the Aegis organization. The organization wanted her to seduce Thanatos and become pregnant with his child. They were told the child would save the apocalypse from happening. Thanatos had been celibate for thousands of years thinking his celibacy was the key to him not turning evil like his brother Reseph, aka Pestilence. He was on a warpath after he realized what Regan did to him. When Thanatos is finally able to get out of his paralyzed state, he tracks down Regan for revenge. Unfortunately, others have been tracking her down to kill her. When Thanatos gets a hold of her finally, he is upset that no one bothered to tell him she is pregnant. I could go on and on about this book, but I do not want to spoil the book to anyone who hasn't read it like my partner in crime. "Lethal Rider" had a lot of other parts in the book that left you are hanging, and it will pick up next in Reseph's book. My thoughts on "Lethal Rider" was I enjoyed reading Thanatos book finally. He has fascinated me since the first book "Eternal Rider." He can go from joking with you one second to turning into a dark, dangerous immortal next. Let's say, if you piss him off, you better start running, but you most likely won't make it because he'll find you. Anyone who is in his way when he turns into "Death" will be killed because he can't control himself. Regan was a little annoying at times, but it's to be expected. She is pregnant…and pregnant can make you very hormonal. VERY hormonal! She did have some solid qualities in her that I adored. She didn't like being told she couldn't do certain things. She's one tough woman, and she'll stand up to any man to prove she can do what they do. Thanatos and Regan were perfect for each other because Thanatos needed Regan, she helped balance him out. She could control him to be calm. You'll find out in this book Regan has special powers and Larissa will tell you how Regan's powers came to be. I loved how everything came together and who ended up being the BAD guy at the end. Wow! Let's say the horsemen were surprised too. No, Reseph is not the only bad guy. =) In "Lethal Rider," the angels played a significant role in the storyline. I recommend this book to paranormal romance readers, fans of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and of course diehard fans of Larissa Ione. You'll have a hard time putting down this book and the first two books. If your a Reseph fan like I am…you'll get a sneak peek into his book "Rogue Rider" which can't come fast enough.


How surface dressing quality standards can help highways authorities deliver improved asset management.
There's no doubt that the recent announcement of £1.2 billion to fund road improvements, cut congestion and improve journey times is excellent news. However, it's important that we as an industry understand this is in the context of a growing emphasis on sound asset management in the road system.
"It is vitally important that we achieve maximum returns from the money which has been allocated for highways maintenance," Robert Goodwill, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport," declared in Gearing up for efficient highway delivery and funding, the key 2014 consultation document that addresses how £5.8 billion funding for local highways maintenance up to the year 2021 will be distributed.
One effective way of demonstrating good asset management is to extend pavement life with surface dressing; in fact, it can offer an ideal solution when used at the right time and in the correct way. Surface dressing can extend the life of the carriageway for some 10–15 years: 10 years for those roads with medium-to-high traffic and up to 15 years for roads with low-to-medium traffic, according to the Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA)/ADEPT).
However, it is important to note that surface dressing customers such as local authority engineers are now increasingly focusing on relatively recently introduced mandatory regulations designed to boost quality standards across the industry as part of their focus on maintaining their asset base.
Surface dressing treatments are regulated by harmonised Product Standard (hEN) BS EN 12271. Since 1 July 2013, contractors undertaking end-performance contracts to MCHW [6} clause 922 (Surface Dressing) have needed to obtain a CE mark for their product's legal requirement. That said, although CE marking was a legal requirement from 1 July 2013, it was not in practice being asked for when Dr Howard Robinson reviewed the regulations in the Institute of Asphalt Technology's IAT Yearbook back in 2014. At the time he predicted that it would probably take "another couple of years " before highways authorities collectively started to consistently demand CE accreditation from the supply chain.
Fast forward to today and the situation has moved on significantly, with highways authorities increasingly asking for evidence of CE accreditation. This has clear benefits for customers in terms of their professionalism and ensuring that contractors are able to design, build and guarantee their work. Importantly, under the new system, customers can have far more confidence in the quality of work undertaken by suppliers, which will be designed by practitioners, built to their specification and guaranteed.
Under the new rules, companies like Asphalt Reinforcement Services have taken on the design component of the project as well as the build, effectively making us responsible for ensuring that the entire process runs smoothly and is fit for purpose. This transfers the risk from the customer to the contractor. Additionally, companies may also offer extended warranties to provide clients with additional confidence in their work. All of these initiatives are raising standards in the industry.
CE-marked products come with a Declaration of Performance based on a one-year TAIT (Type Approval Installation Trial). The process is quite time-consuming and onerous because organisations have to certify every product and each type of environment that they operate in.
Contractors must complete their one-year TAITs and operate a quality management system to BS EN ISO 9001, in order to obtain a CE mark and DoP (Declaration of Performance). In addition, they must have their Factory Production Control (FPC) system successfully audited against the requirements of the relevant hEN by a Notified Body (NB) accredited by UKAS or equivalent body.
What's more, a TAIT is required for each type of surface dressing – such as single, racked-in and double dressing – and for different road types. Consequently, Asphalt Reinforcement Services has been through the process for the different types of surface dressing for a wide range of different road categories.
While the largest, high-productivity contractors have dealt well with the accreditation process, many smaller contractors have not found it such smooth going. "Large national contractors seem to have coped fairly well and speedily with obtaining their CE marks; however, it appears that smaller to medium-sized contractors required more help and assistance from the RSTA and their certification bodies," Dr Robinson wrote in 2014. "It will take some time for CE marking to become embedded and become the norm," he added.
Since then, however, specifiers have increasingly been insisting on CE accreditation as they move away from the old Clause 919 contract system. "The public procurement directive says public bodies should give priority to purchasing products that have a CE mark," Dr Robinson points out. Consequently, those contractors not able to meet the new regulations are finding their options increasingly limited.
In general, organisations seeking to work on national highways need to undergo a highly rigorous accreditation process as part of the National Highways Sector Schemes, according to the UK government regulations dealing with motorways and major road. These are bespoke quality management systems for organisations working on the UK road network, and are based on the ISO9001:2008 standards, although they do not duplicate them.
Although Asphalt Reinforcement Services is by no means one of the largest contractors we consider it to be important that we are also certified to the same standard as organisations that are significantly larger: we are proud of our NHSS13 compliance, CE mark, ISO 9001 quality compliance, and an NVQ-qualified workforce. This enables us to stand out among a pool of smaller contractors.
At Asphalt Reinforcement Services we're seeking to keep ahead of the curve by bringing in new technology and equipment. This has proved to be a major benefit for the company, and we are now able to bid for surface dressing contracts to Clause 922 highway works as well as cycle tracks, footways and heritage work.
A good example of this innovation is our ability to further enhance carriageway life by using a non-woven geosynthetic interlayer. This is laid on the road surface ahead of the surface dressing process and forms a retention and regulating layer for the bitumen so that the chip can be embedded with good adhesion.
The use of paving fabrics can extend the life of surface dressing by an additional 50 to 75% in warmer climates, which we are starting to experience in the UK. There are a number of additional benefits such as suppressing reflection cracks (the SAMI effect); this system also helps to prevent bleeding and contributes to providing an impermeable layer, so protecting the lower pavement.
Asphalt Reinforcement Services uniquely has the expertise to offer a fully integrated service by installing both this paving fabric interlayer and the surface dressing.
We also recognise that surface dressing can be a real inconvenience to motorists and residents, and we aim to put their needs first. We train our staff to recognise the importance of making sure members of the public are respected. For instance, when we're working within housing estates we can offer a very personal service in terms of the way we deal with members of the public. This approach seems to be working well for us.
A recent project at the Silverstone grand prix circuit is a good example of our approach. Although the resurfacing was due to take place over the weekend – which in itself was a tight schedule – the work was rained off on the Saturday. Consequently, we raced through the work on the Sunday to complete it on time for the event, and received numerous plaudits for the quality of the job delivered. Quality standards are the key to success in this industry.

I demonstrated Kendo and Jodo at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on 25th May.
I demonstrated Japanese Calligraphy last month.
At the Reflections on Debussy Music Festival, there were many kinds of Japanese Cultural events. This time, I demonstrated Kendo.
The program said only Kendo.
Actually I got an offer only for Kendo, but I asked if I could demonstrate Jodo too.
The day before Mr. Chris Buxton gave me a hard practice for the Jodo demonstration, and I did one for first time in my life.
The Kendo demonstration, I could not do by myself.
I did demonstration with Ms. Kumiko Suzuki who is professional Japanese Drummer in the UK and around the world.
The title of the festival is Reflections on Debussy this day was 'Terror and Beauty'. Ms. Kumiko is the beauty I am ? .
The photo below is from the entrance looking at the foyer where the demonstration took place.
The foyer is covered by carpet, so our feet felt different from our Kendo place.
We changed to Kendo wear and started to practice.
Before 6pm, we said to hello to the audience in the entrance and they moved to the foyer, and we sat there.
The Drum sounded to start the demonstration.
We did kiri-kaeshi (beginning training), basic hitting, combination hitting, and defense against hitting techniques and talked about them.
After Kakari-geiko (continuous attack ) the drum sounded three times, we finished the first demonstration.
I showed the Jo (wooden stick ), the audience looked interested in it.
I did Jodo basic patterns No.1 to No.4.
After the Jodo demonstration, we showed the wooden sword and the sword for Iaido.
And then,we started the second Kendo demonstration.
' We use the wooden sword for Kendo too.' I said and we did Kendo Kata.
After Kendo Kata, we put on armor, then we showed and told how to hit. With the drums sound we hit together.
' We use the drum like that in Kendo practice.' I told to the audience.
After Mokuso ( meditation time), we bowed each other.
Then we bowed to the audience.
My friends who practice Kendo in Manchester, who are students of the University of Manchester came to see us.
My Kendo friend took this picture for us.
We hoped that we showed Kendo is enjoyable and explained Kendo items, I took the sword bag that was given by my Kendo friend that was hand painted by her in Tokyo.
After the demonstration the organizer invited us to the concert and listened to the music of the pianist Dr. Noriko Ogawa.
I want to thank everyone who gave me such a great experience.
