Dugdale History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The ancient roots of the Dugdale family name are in the Anglo-Saxon culture. The name Dugdale comes from when the family lived in either the settlement of Dug Dale, which is found in Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire, or the place called Dugdales in Great Mitton, which is in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The surname Dugdale belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Early Origins of the Dugdale family
The surname Dugdale was first found in Yorkshire. However, another branch of the family was found in the parish of Shustock in Warwickshire. "Blyth Hall was the residence of the celebrated antiquary, Sir William Dugdale, who purchased that manor of Sir Walter Ashton, in the 1st of Charles I., and here compiled The Antiquities of Warwickshire; he died on the 10th of February, 1685, and was buried in the parish church."

Dugdale Spelling Variations
One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Dugdale has appeared include Dugdale, Dugdall, Dugdill, Dugdell, Dougdall and many more.
Early Notables of the Dugdale family (pre 1700)
Distinguished members of the family include Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686), noted historian, who published the notable work on the history on the monasteries of England; and his son John Dugdale (1628-1700), Garter...

Dugdale migration to the United States
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Dugdale arrived in North America very early:

Glasgow, St Mungo and Midges
David @ the HALL of EINAR 22 June, 2015 the HALL of EINAR
The toilet cisterns in Einar's old school toilets say St Mungo on them. St Mungo is the patron saint of accused adulterers and Glasgow.
St Mungo lived in the late 6th Century. His mother was raped and became pregnant so her father, the King, threw her off a cliff. She survived the fall so was set adrift in a coracle and landed in Culross in Fife. Not such a great start in life then.
Mungo grew up in a religious community and set off to built a church of his own. A large community grew up around him which became known as Clas-gu (which means 'dear family'). The spot is marked by the current Glasgow Cathedral.
Mungo performed miracles according to the church. He brought a robin back to life which his classmates had killed, restarted a dead fire with a hazel branch, brought a bell back from Rome (although I don't know what the miracle was about that) and had an intense experience with a fish:
The Fish — refers to the story about Queen Languoreth of Strathclyde who was suspected of infidelity by her husband. King Riderch demanded to see her ring, which he claimed she had given to her lover. In reality the King had thrown it into the River Clyde. Faced with execution she appealed for help to Mungo, who ordered a messenger to catch a fish in the river. On opening the fish, the ring was miraculously found inside, which allowed the Queen to clear her name.
St Mungo grew to be an old man, so old that his chin had to be tied up with a bandage. He died in his bath, so it's not that great a brand for a firm of plumbers, even if they were based in Glasgow. I'd better move the cistern or it'll attract the midges.

Injury-related deaths among women aged 10-50 years in Bangladesh, 1996-97
Hussain R. Yusuf, Halida H. Akhter, M. Hafizur Rahman, Mahbub E.Elahi K. Chowdhury, Roger W. Rochat
Background. Few studies have examined injury-related deaths among women in Bangladesh. We did a case-finding study to identify causes and the impact of intentional and unintentional injury-related deaths among 10-50 years in Bangladesh. Methods. Between 1996 and 1997, health care and other service providers at 4751 health facilities throughout Bangladesh were interviewed about their knowledge of deaths among women aged 10-50 years. In addition, at all public facilities providing inpatient service, medical records of women who died during the study period were reviewed. The reported circumstances surrounding each death were carefully reviewed to attribute the most likely cause of death. Findings. 28,998 deaths among women aged 10-50 years were identified in our study, and, of these, 6610 (23%) were thought to be caused by intentional or unintentional injuries. About half (3317) of the injury deaths were attributable to suicide, 352 (5%) to homicide, 1100 (17%) to accidental injuries, and the intent was unknown for 1841 (28%) deaths. The unadjusted rate of suicides were higher in the Khulna administrative division (27.0 per 100,000) than the other four administrative divisions of Bangladesh (range 3.5-11.3 per 100,000). Poisoning (n = 3971) was the commonest cause of injury-related death - 60% of all injury deaths (6610) and 14% of all deaths (28,998). Other common causes of injury deaths in order of frequency were hanging or suffocation, road traffic accidents, burns, drowning, physical assault, firearm or sharp instrument injury, and snake or animal bite. Intentional and unintentional injuries are a major cause of death among women aged 10-50 years in Bangladesh. Strategies to reduce injury-related deaths among women need to be devised.

A New Kind of CMS — LiveWorld's Conversational Marketing Software Drives Customer Engagement Through Social Media and Messaging
By: Laura Bernheim Posted: January 3, 2019
Follow "The Hosting Blog" daily as hosting experts, programmers, and tech managers go in depth on a variety of tech-related topics.
TL; DR: LiveWorld helps large enterprises serving thousands of customers monitor brand mentions and customer interactions wherever they happen. The company's all-in-one software platform collects and consolidates conversations from a variety of social media networks and messaging applications to gather marketing insights that will help brands better engage their audiences. With special attention and expertise paid to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, LiveWorld leverages personable chatbots and teams of support agents to streamline and improve online communication.
In the realm of online marketing and brand management, CMS are three letters that make a big impact. Content management systems like WordPress power the websites for the full range of individual bloggers, small business owners, and Fortune 500 corporations.
At LiveWorld, however, the acronym takes on an entirely different meaning.
"We call it a conversation management system," Vice President of Marketing Jason Kapler said of the company's all-in-one software platform. "We don't call it a CMS or even a social content management system."
LiveWorld leverages supportive technology to deepen the relationships and interactions its clients have with their audiences. Instead of monitoring countless communication channels, the company brings all online conversations about a brand to an easy-to-use portal that enables teams to gauge campaign effectiveness and detect any issues.
For instance, billions of global users communicate across dozens of social media networks, messaging apps, and online review sites. Instead of being flooded with disparate data, enterprise organizations can use LiveWorld to scale and improve customer service by compiling interactions into a single system that lets support teams spend their time more effectively.
"You get a lot of time back for your business that you can use on other tasks," Jason said. "It helps organizations scale across extremely large volumes of constant conversations, which is what happens when your customers are using eight different platforms and messaging apps. It seems like an impossible task to manage that, but we make it easy by pulling it in, organizing it, and triaging the important things so that your people can look at the things that really matter and automate a lot of the rest of it."
Leveraging the Power of Conversation to Benefit Community and Clients
For more than two decades, LiveWorld has worked to foster online communication between companies and their customers. A handful of top executives at Apple had created an online social community platform in the late '90s. The product was a little ahead of its time, but the employees struck out on their own with a clear vision.
"People go to communities because it's the best place to get information that's authentic and direct," Jason said. "It can be an excellent place to have pure conversations with peers. We recognized the power of conversations early on to help benefit the community as a whole on a variety of topics."
From online communities to social media and messaging, LiveWorld seeks out ways customers have conversations.
Through the years, online communities shifted from forums and message boards to social networks. LiveWorld uses APIs to ingest content from social networks, messaging apps, and even reviews from places like Yelp or Amazon.
"A lot of our services start with user-generated content moderation and monitoring so that we can provide a safe experience for users and for the brand as the owner of that community," Jason said. "You can pull in every conversation from everywhere across the digital landscape, and you don't have to do a series or patchwork of tools."
By learning what their customers are talking about, brands can use LiveWorld's data and insights to impact their marketing campaigns and customer service programs, according to Jason.
"The unique way it's geared toward conversations, mapping those together, lets our clients find out about the important dialogue that's happening online anywhere," he said. "It's built around and designed around that particular notion, just the power of conversations."
LiveWorld Keeps Pace With Rapidly Changing Communication Platforms
With the world of social media perpetually changing, Jason said LiveWorld is constantly adding support for new networks and technologies to its platform. The team started with Facebook and other established platforms and continue to cast an ever-wider net.
"All the ways that people can have conversations, whether it's one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many, can all be consumed by our software and managed from the brand's perspective," he said. "You can really start to get a lot of audience insights into the conversations going on, which is huge and powerful for companies to understand."
As the company pushed to stay ahead of social media's global footprint, the advent of messaging and chat applications represented another major challenge for LiveWorld to answer.
"That was a huge shift because messaging was taking the very authentic one-to-one communications between individuals and opening that up to businesses with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and WeChat," Jason said. "There are so many ways to manage conversations and expand the use of online communities to produce stronger customer relationships and support."
LiveWorld gathers conversational data across a wide range of networks to gain insights into brand perceptions.
LiveWorld's close relationship with customers enables the company to quickly identify emerging technologies and develop new features to meet organizations' needs. Because the company serves a select group of the world's most recognizable enterprise organizations, including American Express, FedEx and Pfizer, Jason said the company's developers will build new tools after hearing only a few requests.
"We have an agile process by which we can test them very rapidly and roll them out quite quickly," he said. "Our road map is very much based on what our clients want, as well as us looking out for the new capabilities we can offer proactively. We are our clients' social media experts, and we need to help them understand what they need to start to adopt."
Integrating Support Teams and Technology by Humanizing Chatbots
As it extends the messaging applications and the technology's influences on customer support, LiveChat has witnessed — and innovated upon — the rise of chatbots to boost efficiency and scalability. Jason said the specialized products don't typically come with the management portal or integrations enterprise organizations require, especially when it comes to transferring customers to live agents.
"One of our differentiators is that you can build a chatbot on our platform or bring one in from somewhere else, and you can actually have a system to manage chatbot interactions and transition conversations in a very seamless way," he said.
Organizations can use chatbots to collect customer information, solve common problems, and provide a sense of immediacy when responding to inquiries. Once the chatbot reaches the limits of its expertise, customers or chatbots can summon a live agent who will have the full context of the customer's conversation.
"It's the right blend of automation and a human agent," Jason said. "Having an agent step in and take over anything that's more sensitive or at a higher level than what a chatbot can do really frees up a lot of resources."
Integrated chatbots enable organizations to efficiently maximize support agents' time and effectiveness.
LiveWorld's chatbot management program emphasizes seamless transfers between chatbots and live agents based on urgency, subject matter, and support team availability. The real-time logging and capturing of chatbot communications with customers means agents can deliver faster solutions and greater satisfaction.
"That's one of the big issues, especially in customer service, of getting stuck in a phone tree and having to repeat all your information," Jason said. "We focus on the strategic tasks for companies that are looking for efficiencies, scale, and the opportunity to manage conversations that way."
Doctor's Orders: Improved Healthcare and Patient Communications
Although the company's solutions serve a wide range of industries, LiveWorld has built added services for the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. For instance, companies needing to rapidly scale their support operations can request to use LiveWorld's workforce of support agents.
"We have that expertise, and we have those agents we can deploy who know our software, know the majority of the other social media software pieces, and the industry jargon as well so we can step into the trenches with our customers," Jason said.
Although he calls the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries "kind of broken," Jason said LiveWorld's platform is poised to help hospitals and doctors better communicate with patients, who are increasingly demanding lower prices, increased efficiency, more choices, and greater flexibility.
"There are a lot of innovators who are coming in and trying to unseat some of the old guard by using technology to disrupt the market in a good way," he said. "We already have the platform for it, and we already have the ability to integrate chatbots, so there's a lot of room for innovation when it comes to enabling patients, pharmacists, and hospitals to directly communicate with one another via some of these conversation platforms."
By making healthcare more efficient and nimble, organizations can reduce costs and jettison legacy systems — while patients can also receive more immediate feedback and better care.
"There's a lot of waste and cost associated with the patient journey," Jason said. "We've got several solutions in the pipeline that address exactly those issues. That's something I'm really looking forward to because it's game-changing and something directly in our wheelhouse."

There are a finite number of sources, two at the present time. One is the typewritten "Inglesh" translation. The other is the typewritten "Aarktikl" translation. Hereafter IT and AT respectively. The papers are distinct, and close examination of the typefaces indicates that they were produced on different machines.
Microscopic examination of the IT reveals it to be some generation of carbon-copy. Comparative analysis of the blunting of corners and inward inflation of enclosed letters lends towards the supposition that it is a 3rd sheet carbon at least. This is of course based on the soft-rubber platten theory. Similarly valid is the less popular and somewhat less likely stencil cutter theory, which could identify it as one copy of many dozens produced from the cut stencil.
The AT is more enigmatic. Stylistically it fits chronologically but owing to its translation artifacts accurate dating is not possible. Similarly, clues as to the origin are convoluted by the fact of its being typewritten and a translation. The use of the fifth letter ð throughout in place of "d" in the name would lend some credence to its having been translated in Iceland, while the absence of any other non-Latin characters or accents makes that unlikely. It's been suggested that the translation was made by an individual either sufficiently familiar with (or merely fond of) the Dr. to manually cut the ð stencil or mark the carbons by hand. As "school 36" is not mentioned at all in the IT, the thinking that the AT was created at a significant time after the IT is sound.
The credulous position is that the works are as they appear, earnest attempts at phenomenal documentation in an attempt at replication. The rationalist explanation is the same except for the interpretation of the translators ability. The skeptical interpretation is, as often proves the case, quite dull; a fraud, if not intentional then, accidental but a fraud of omission at the least.
It is the position of the curate that all positions are valid and accurate; that they are not in fact mutually exclusive positionally and are in fact mutually supportive.

Redexis Gas
Region Spain
Investor GS Infrastructure Partners II and co-investors
Redexis Gas, the second largest transmitter and fourth largest distributor of gas in Spain, provides customers with access to an affordable and secure source of energy. The company operates in regions with gas penetration below the Spanish and European averages (est. 28% and 46%, respectively). Affiliates of two GS Infrastructure Partners II funds and certain co-investors acquired Redexis Gas in 2010 from Endesa, S.A., Spain's largest electric utility company. With GS Infrastructure Partners' support and a new management team, the company has made significant investments in Spanish natural gas infrastructure over the past five years. Since 2010, Redexis Gas has almost doubled its transmission and distribution network to c. 8,700 km and tripled the municipalities served to over 550, with gas now available in areas with over five million inhabitants.

The September issue of Which? magazine carries a survey on its members' thoughts on 13 different makes of domestic boiler.
It was conducted between May and June this year and used its online facility to receive the opinion of 10,778 participants.
The survey included both combi and gas boilers and these were tested on a number of criteria.
It was not well received by Ideal Heating, however, with marketing director James Parkinson saying: "Consumer watchdog reports are really valuable to the public and the industry alike, but on this occasion we're disappointed that Which? doesn't seem to have been working with up-to-date information.
largely anecdotal, and based on interviews with householders whose appliances had been installed for some time.
British Gas received several negative comments, especially on installation and servicing. As the largest provider of boiler servicing contracts, it was used as a benchmark to compare with others, including Worcester, Scottish & Southern, Vaillant, Domestic & General, Heateam and Eon.
Worcester received the best score of 70 per cent and recorded the lowest price of £148, while Eon came last with 43 per cent.
The survey found that 70 per cent of those using an independent installer were "very satisfied", compared with a total of 53 per cent of British Gas customers.
Which? employed 13 undercover researchers and compared British Gas and independent installers to quote for the installation of a boiler.


I'm really having an abortion?: !! Patient X !!
One of the problems (just one? ha...no one of trillions) was how I felt like Patient X. Let me explain.
Imagine something straight out of a movie or history books, something like the holocaust. People go in with a story on their face, their clothes say who they are, their hair indicates their age, you can see a person just by looking at them.
Strip them of their clothes, shave their head, put them in a smock, and they all look like clones of each other. Expressionless, non-human clones.
That's how I felt. Once you change, everything changed. All of us in our disposable uniforms: little blue booties, stupid blue paper smock with a white ribbon for the waist and white tape to close it up around your neck, and a stupid blue shower cap doodad that I refused to put on until the very end because I already felt bad enough.
not that you couldn't tell the employees/nurses from the patients, but it was like we were just lab rats or experiments walking around the scientists, with our uniforms to make us all non-human...it was like this was the uniform of The Stupid Irresponsible Girl.
I was so happy when I could put my clothes back on again. I mean, "happy". I kept the little booties for some reason, probably because i'm my mother daughter and I hate throwing things out when i'm sure i can find some obscure reason to use them.
This post probably made no sense. But this Patient X thing has gone though my mind quite often, and it felt like I had lost a voice, an opinion, emotion while i was Patient X. My hand pain didn't matter...becuase I was Patient X. It felt like i could have ran around screaming "fire!" and no one would have listened.
I wonder what other people wear when they get abortions. I wonder if they felt as much of a douche as I did wearing those stupid outfits, carrying my plastic bag of my stuff like a homeless lady about to get sterilized.
i didn't get a special outfit. i had on the bottom of a ob/gyn-visit exam sheet and my tank top and hoodie and super-low socks from costco. afterwards, they made me change into my oversized, super-soft cargo shorts. i kept the tank top and socks on when my boyfriend (at the time) brought me to the beach while he and his friend played on boogie boards.
the beach is the perfect place to be after an abortion.
BIKINI...omg...i had to stick with baggy sh*t to hide the 1970's pad I had on.
Dude...boogie boarding after...I yelled at Chandler because he kept pacing and wouldn't lie down next to me, but he did wrap me up in blankets and set up a laptop to play I Am Legend (hence my zombie nightmares lately)...if he wanted to do something fun/social I probably would have performed a D&C on him.
I am so grateful you are no longer with the Ex. I picture you with an older guy...not some college kid who can't sacrifice one mutha effing afternoon. Damn girl...your game face must be good.
I just find it mind boggling that you sit here complaining about how you were treated etc at the clinic. But you mistreated your own unborn BABY by killing it.

Power Plants on the Way Out?
PEOPLE POWER Forget big generators... in ten years' time we could be making and even selling our own electricity. We might even save the planet.
January 7, 2001 - LONDON's fabulously successful Tate Modern art gallery has wowed the public. Now it seems that the gallery, housed in the disused Bankside power station, has captured the industrial zeitgeist, too. Power stations, the behemoths of the industrial age, could be on the way out.
The people that spread thousand-megawatt power plants across the planet now see the future in small generators, each little more than a millionth as powerful, in basements and backyards round the world. One of the biggest enthusiasts is Kurt Yeager, who heads the US industry-funded Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto, California. By 2050 he thinks that most of our electricity will come from millions of microturbines, solar panels and, most importantly, hydrogen-powered fuel cells.
"Within five years I'll be able to go down to Wal-Mart and pick a microgenerator off the shelf to power my house," says Yeager. "I will take it home and connect it to the gas pipe. It will generate power as well as heating my house and producing hot water. And it will be much cheaper than using the power grid."
Dan Rastler, a researcher at the EPRI, thinks his boss is being conservative. He notes that natural-gas fuelled microgenerators for the home are being tested this year. "I anticipate some market penetration as early as 2002," he says.
The cost of a 5-kilowatt kit-which would provide more than enough power for most houses-will be about $2500. Some will buy bigger and sell to the grid; others will buy smaller and top up from the grid when they need to.
Hydrogen will have to be manufactured, of course, and for this there are two routes. One involves splitting water molecules using electricity. It requires much more electricity than you'll get back from the fuel cells, so the gain only arises when that electricity is made using non-polluting sources, such as solar, wind or hydroelectric power. The alternative is extracting hydrogen from a hydrocarbon such as oil, methanol or natural gas. Either way there can be real environmental gains in terms of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Countries with national power grids will continue to find them useful as devolved power networks. But places that don't have extensive grids-like much of the developing world-shouldn't bother building them. Currently, 1.8 billion people, almost a third of humanity, don't have access to any more electricity than they can get from a car battery. Rather than copying 20th-century technology-as many countries are often expensively and inefficiently attempting to do-their governments should "leapfrog to the higher efficiencies of the digital age", says Yeager. Local networks running on solar cells will provide all the electricity that most consumers need, says Dunn.
Some people don't believe the job can be done without massive disruption to the world economy. Yeager and Dunn both say it can be -- and the first step is to overthrow the tyranny of the multi-megawatt power station.

An influential text which teaches yoga from an Advaita perspective of nondualistic idealism is the Yoga-Vāsiṣṭha.[260] This work uses numerous short stories and anecdotes to illustrate its main ideas. It teaches seven stages or bhumis of yogic practice. It was a major reference for medieval Advaita Vedanta yoga scholars and before the 12th century, it was one of the most popular texts on Hindu yoga.[261]
According to Crangle, some researchers have favoured a linear theory, which attempts "to interpret the origin and early development of Indian contemplative practices as a sequential growth from an Aryan genesis",[54][note 4] just like traditional Hinduism regards the Vedas to be the ultimate source of all spiritual knowledge.[55][note 5] Thomas McEvilley favors a composite model where pre-Aryan yoga prototype existed in the pre-Vedic period and its refinement began in the Vedic period.[58]
These meditations were seen as being supported by the other elements of the eightfold path, such as the practice of ethics, right exertion, sense restraint and right view.[244] Two mental qualities are said to be indispensable for yogic practice in Buddhism, samatha (calm, stability) and vipassanā (insight, clear seeing).[245] Samatha is the quality of a stable, relaxed and calm mind. It is also associated with samadhi (mental unification, focus) and dhyana (a state of meditative absorption). Vipassanā meanwhile, is a kind of insight or penetrative understanding into the true nature of phenomena. It is also defined as "seeing things as they truly are" (yathābhūtaṃ darśanam). The true nature of things is defined and explained in different ways, but an important and unique feature of classical Buddhism is its understanding of all phenomena (dhammas) as being empty of a self (atman) or inherent essence, a doctrine termed Anatta ("not-self") and Śūnyatā (emptiness).[246][247] This is in sharp contrast with most other Indian traditions, whose goals are founded either on the idea of an individual soul (atman, jiva, purusha) or a universal monistic consciousness ( Brahman). Vipassanā also requires an understanding of suffering or dukkha (and thus the four noble truths), impermanence (anicca) and interdependent origination. https://buzzingofferbusinessinvesting.tumblr.com/

Retired Jamaican athletic superstar Usain Bolt joined Mamelodi Sundowns at training on Monday morning and showed a glimpse of what he can do on a soccer pitch.
The eight-time Olympic champion is visiting SA as part of an Athletics South Africa developments but is also know for his passion for football.
He has often spoken about his desire to transition to football after his athletics career is over and it is not clear if Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane saw enough to seriously consider signing him after his training session on Monday.
The visit to Chloorkop was a marketing dream for sports gear company Puma as they sponsor Sundowns' Rihanna and Bolt' among others.

China Will See An Electric BMW i3 Revival
While Americans have a high interest in the all-electric BMW i3, it will only currently be offered in China.

BMW introduces re-vamped i3 in China
BMW i3 improved range and speed
Could BMW i3 be introduced in the U.S.?
Get Jerry to find cheap car insurance
brought back the i3 but completely remade its look, taking it from a hatchback to a sedan and adding a little more than four inches of length to its wheelbase.

if it improved its reliability
and how it matches its siblings in
Car & Driver
, you'll only find the new BMW i3 eDrive35L in China where it goes on sale in May, but it bears some consideration as the latest electric vehicle from the automaker.
Its transformation increased its horsepower to 282 and it now generates 295 pound-feet of torque.
The i3 build changed as well, adding 4.3 inches to the wheelbase. It kept some of the concept-car styling and its carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic structure but switched the BMW to i3 to an i4-like powertrain and rear-wheel-drive.
If the car does come to the U.S., look for it to carry an "L" at the end of its name, which signifies its longer wheelbase. BMW designed the vehicle for chauffeurs to drive their passengers while providing maximum comfort.
To create the vehicles, BMW opened a new factory in Shenyang in partnership with Brilliance Auto, an automaker in China. Brilliance Auto also manufactures ZINORO automobiles, a line of electric vehicles available in China.
The busy plant manufactured more than 700,000 vehicles in 2021 for both BMW and ZINORO.
BMW grew the battery size since it introduced the vehicle originally in 2014 and it now comes with a 66.1-kWh battery that offers a range of 327 miles.
According to the automaker, the i3 offers quick charging, so you don't have to stop your road trip for the day to recharge the battery. You can recharge it while you eat lunch since the mid-sized battery goes from 10 percent charge to an 80 percent charge in 35 minutes.
While the BMW i3 doesn't poke along, its acceleration and punchiness differ from a gas-fueled vehicle. It requires about twice the time of a gas-powered vehicle to go from 0 to 60.
Although not as fast at achieving its 0 to 60 acceleration as the BMW M8 Competition's 3.3 seconds, the i3 manages the 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds, says Car & Driver, but actual road tests by
Rallye BMW
showed a 0 to 60 time of 7.2 seconds.
Jeff Koons Turned This BMW Into a Work of Art
Currently, the Bavarian automaker only has plans to release the i3 in China and the i4 in the U.S.
Car & Driver conducted a poll to gauge interest in the vehicle in which 79 percent of respondents said BMW should introduce the vehicle in the U.S., while the remainder said the i4 fills the electric car need.
BMW's Grip on the Luxury Car Market Is Slipping

At some point, either you or your child will be ready to stop breastfeeding. Weaning from breastfeeding is the process of switching a baby's diet from breast milk to other foods and drinks. Read on to learn more about when and how to wean.
When to wean is a personal decision and will be different for everyone. Each child may be ready to wean, or stop breastfeeding, at different ages. Some children will gradually start to show more interest in eating solid foods and less interest in breastfeeding. Others may want to stop breastfeeding more suddenly. Some mothers may be ready to wean at different times too. This is a personal decision.
Give your child infant formula in place of breast milk.
Give your child fortifiedAlert_01cow's milk in place of breast milk. He or she does not need infant or toddler formula.
To make the process easier for you and your child, wean over several weeks or more. As you slowly stop breastfeeding, your body will start producing less breast milk and eventually your body will no longer make breast milk.
Get used to the new taste of infant formula (for your child younger than 12 months old) or fortified cow's milk (for your child 12 months or older).
Adjust to drinking from a bottle or cup.
Start weaning by replacing one breast milk feeding a day with a bottle of infant formula (for your child younger than 12 months old) or with a cup of fortified cow's milk (for your child 12 months or older). Continue to replace more breast milk feedings with infant formula or fortified cow's milk over time.

The title of Mesha Maren's debut novel, "Sugar Run," refers to a gambler's good fortune, and if anyone could use a bit of luck, it's Jodi McCarty. The year is 2007, and Jodi has just been sprung from Jaxton Prison in the North Georgia mountains, after having served 18 years for manslaughter. Only 17 when she went in, she's ill prepared for life on the outside.
The one thing that sustained Jodi during her incarceration was her dream of returning to her family's farm in the mountains of West Virginia. Jodi grew up there, raised by her grandmother Effie, now dead, and her goal is to live there again and raise dairy cows. But first she has a mission to complete that involves riding a Greyhound bus to South Georgia to fulfill a promise she made to her former girlfriend, Paula. Before their relationship ended in a tragic turn of events, the couple had planned to rescue Paula's little brother Ricky from his abusive father. Eighteen years later, Jodi is compelled to make good on that plan, no matter that Ricky is a grown man now.
Along the way, Jodi meets Miranda Golden, a beautiful and broke, pill-popping mama, who's on the verge of being evicted from her room at the Rocklodge Motor Inn, where Jodi is also staying. Attracted to Miranda's "high-pitched reactions, the way she poured it all out so openly," Jodi agrees to help her newfound friend spirit her three young sons away from her ex-husband, a has-been rock star named Lee Golden, who's playing a gig nearby.
Before long, the whole ragtag crew of new acquaintances are in Miranda's Chevette, headed to the farm, where Jodi's attempts to live a simple, lawful life in her dead grandmother's tumbled-down shack in the Appalachian Mountains are challenged at every turn.
Braided through the saga is the backstory of Jodi and Paula's relationship. Set in 1988, it starts with the first, heady days of their meeting and falling in love, when Jodi was just happy to be in Paula's presence. But disenchantment settles in when Paula's gambling leaves Jodi bored and alone in cheap motel rooms all day. Their coupling is a sober reminder of just how little strangers know about one another when they enter each other's lives midstream.
Whether Jodi and Miranda are repeating history remains to be seen.
On the surface, Maren's characters are not the most sympathetic bunch. Laws are broken and pills are popped without much forethought. But Jodi's intentions are honorable. Watching her eagerness to make things right — to save Ricky, to build a life with Miranda, to live on her family farm and raise cows in peace — as it plays out against a world of dive bars, roadside motels, small-town carnivals and gas station mini-marts, is all the more heartbreaking as the cycle of poverty threatens to grind up her meager dreams.
Winner of the 2015 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize, Maren is the National Endowment for the Arts Writing Fellow at the Beckley Federal Correctional Institution, in Beaver, W.Va., so she knows a thing or two about women prisoners and the challenges they face upon release. She is also intimately familiar with the people who populate this rural corner of the world. When Jodi's parents throw her an impromptu welcome home party, her mother's friends rise to the occasion.
Among the colorful characters that enter Jodi's orbit is Rosalba, a tequila-swilling employee of the nearby "bunny ranch," who rolls her own cigarettes and needs a place to hide because she "ain't got papers." Dennis, Jodi's brother, is a drug-dealing redneck who races trains in his truck for fun and blackmails Jodi into helping him with his criminal activities.
Caught in the divide between the haves and the have-nots, Jodi is a perfect illustration of the fallacy that good intentions and hard work reap success. She can't even get hired for the most menial of jobs because of her felony. So she numbs her frustration with beer and drugs, and she does the best she can, tugging her heartstrings tight around her substitute family of misfits, each one of them desperate to escape their messy past lives. But in her effort to save everyone else, she risks losing sight of herself.
In the inestimable words of musician Kenny Rogers, a gambler has to "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." And ultimately, that is the decision Jodi must make before her future can take hold.

November is The Rotary Foundation Month and we got highlights of the strength and impact of The Rotary Foundation from District Foundation Chair Brian Moon.
Lincoln South Rotary Club holds a fund drive every year in the months of December and January. Club Members can choose when and how to make donations to best fit their situation.
Brian stated that statistics show about ½ of all Rotary members join for fellowship and networking, and the other ½ join to participate in service to their community or world. Though Rotary can provide both, many members who initially joined for fellowship soon learn of the value of their membership and remain as members because of the service.
One way that we provide service to all of our communities is through The Rotary Foundation (TRF).
Funds that we donate are used all over the world, with half of the funds returned to the District to support local projects. As Rotarians, we see solutions to challenges in our communities, and we take action to bring those ideas to life. One of the benefits of being a Rotarian is access to funding from The Rotary Foundation to create meaningful grants both here in your community and elsewhere in the world.
The Rotary Foundation empowers Rotarians to take action - it is the vehicle that we as Rotarians get to use to make a difference in the world.
TRF is carefully overseen by your fellow Rotarians on the Board of Trustees. They ensure that your donations are invested well and spent wisely to do good in the world. In 2016, we received top ratings from Charity Navigator, the leading evaluator for nonprofits in the U.S., in recognition of our exceptional impact, accountability, and transparency. TRF consistently receives high rankings due to our sound financial practices and transparency.
Brian shared examples of how the District and TRF match funds to multiply the impact of funds from clubs. One example is the Omaha Millard Rotary Club and other local clubs and organizations provide $33,743 for a Global Grant project for medical equipment in Mali. Through the matches, the actual funds for the project were $118,000.
There are currently 5 active global projects by clubs in our District. The clubs provided $147,173 but the total of the projects is $943,952 after matching.
Our donations to The Rotary Foundation are making a difference. We cannot individually support these projects, but through TRF we can be part of a big project such as these global projects.
Brian shared information with our club about the District Grants that we have successfully completed in the last 5 years. We have been able to make $13,000 in improvements in our community through the support of TRF and District Grants.
We also learned about the options for making contributions to The Rotary Foundation and the recognition pins and crystals for those contributions. Many members are Paul Harris Fellows (having given a total of $1,000 or more). Some members are Paul Harris Society Members (pledge of $1,000 per year). There are also members who have provided funds through endowment.
Brian thanked our club for our strong support of The Rotary Foundation.

Philip Reese Uhler (ur. 3 czerwca 1835 w Baltimore, zm. 21 października 1913 tamże) – amerykański bibliotekarz, entomolog (specjalizujący się w hemipterologii) i geolog.

Życiorys
Urodził się w 1835 roku w Baltimore w stanie Maryland. Jego ojcem był bogaty kupiec George Washington Uhler, matką zaś Anna Reese Uhler. Uczęszczał do Latin School, a potem do Baltimore College. Od młodości zbierał owady. Jego pasję wspierał John Gottlieb Morris, przyrodnik i pierwszy bibliotekarz Peabody Institute. Początkowo Uhler interesował się chrząszczami, a w 1861 przełożył z łaciny na angielski dotyczącą siatkoskrzydłych Synopsis of Neuroptera of North America Hermanna A. Hagena. Od 1861 roku publikował już głównie o pluskwiakach.

W 1862 roku został asystentem bibliotecznym Morrisa w Peabody Institute. Wkrótce potem zaczął studiować na Uniwersytecie Harvarda pod kierunkiem Louisa Agassiza. Dzięki jego poleceniu w 1884 roku zaczął praktykować jako bibliotekarz i kurator zbioru owadów Muzeum Zoologii Porównawczej. W tym samym czasie nauczał entomologii na Harvardzie, dawał wykłady w muzeum oraz uczęszczał na zajęcia do Lawrence Scientific School, gdzie studiował z wieloma sławnymi harvardzkimi naukowcami, w tym Asą Grayem, Jeffriesem Wymanem i Nathanielem Shalerem.

W 1867 roku wrócił do Baltimore na posadę asystenta bibliotekarza Peabody Institute. W 1870 roku awansował tam na kierownika biblioteki. Posadę tę zachował do końca życia. Brał aktywny udział w tworzeniu się w Baltimore nowej uczelni wyższej, Uniwersytetu Johnsa Hopkinsa. W 1876 roku został jego pierwszym profesorem nadzwyczajnym. W latach 1880–1911 był rektorem.

Ostatnia jego publikacja, Recognition of two North American species of Cicada, ukazała się w 1905 roku. Dalszą pracę naukową uniemożliwiło mu pogorszenie wzroku związane z jaskrą. Zmarł w 1913 roku w rodzinnym mieście.

Dorobek naukowy
Uhler specjalizował się w hemipterologii. Jest autorem ponad 50 publikacji naukowych dotyczących pluskwiaków. Opisał w nich setki nowych dla nauki taksonów, w tym około 600 nowych gatunków. Szczególne zasługi wniósł do poznania pluskwiaków różnoskrzydłych – nazywany bywa "ojcem amerykańskiej heteropterologii" i "największym amerykańskim heteropterystą". Do największych jego dzieł na tym polu należą monografie północnoamerykańskich ziemikowatych i nabrzeżkowatych. Badał głównie faunę zachodniej Ameryki Północnej, Haiti i Europy. Publikował także istotne prace dotyczące geologii okresu kredy. Na polu bibliotekarstwa wsławił się m.in. publikując w latach 1883–1892 z Nathanielem H. Morisonem pięciotomowy katalog zbiorów bibliotecznych Peabody Institute.

Uhler był członkiem American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Entomological Society, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Entomological Society of Washington i Royal Society of the Arts. Był także założycielem i prezydentem Maryland Academy of Science.

Zbiory Uhlera zdeponowane zostały głównie w Narodowym Muzeum Historii Naturalnej w Waszyngtonie, ale część znajdować się może w Brytyjskim Muzeum Historii Naturalnej oraz California Academy of Science.

When I was a little girl, I got an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas one year. I was SO excited. I could not wait to make some baked goods with the heat from a 100-watt lightbulb. It wasn't just about baking, it was almost a science experiment at the same time, which was fun for me. (Yeah, I was a weird kid.) I put the little orange oven into my closet and daydreamed about the day I would get to use it for the first time.
This is what mine looked like. I will never forget that orange plastic.
Not long after Christmas, I went to use my Easy-Bake Oven. I pulled it out and then went to get the instruction manual so I would know what to do. (I still have a thing about reading the instructions for things even when I know what I'm doing. I got the engineering gene from Dad and can basically reverse-engineer almost anything. So it's not like I *need* the instructions, I just like knowing they are there.) One problem – the instructions were no where to be found.
At this point, we had a housekeeper who came in once or twice a month to clean our house. Best I can figure, she accidentally threw away my instruction booklet. It was there one day and then she came to clean and it was gone. I had no idea what to do with my little orange plastic oven. I was mortified.
I mourned the uselessness of my Easy-Bake Oven. Time passed, and I would walk by displays for the wonderful toy at the store and sigh wistfully. Years passed and I yearned for a daughter, who would give me an excuse to buy this fantastic little plastic oven and give me back my chance to actually USE one.
The other day, we were spending time at our friend's house. The kids were playing outside and I put BittyGirl down for a nap. When I walked outside, there, sitting on the front steps in front of me, was an Easy-Bake Oven. SuperDad looked at me and said, "Hey, look what it is!" Instead of snatching the thing up and yelling, "MINE!" like I wanted to do, I just nodded and said, "Yeah, that's cool." Our friend said, "So your husband just told me this sob story about you and an Easy-Bake Oven… That's for you." SuperDad said he was hoping for more of a reaction out of me and I told him I hadn't wanted to ASSUME it was for me. But when I got confirmation, I jumped up and down like a little girl and squeeled.
They sure have come a long way in 20 years, don't you think?
Last night, CityGirl was asking to use it. I opened up the box, checked to make sure there was a lightbulb in it… and realized there was no instruction booklet. Thank God for the internet. There was also no tiny little cake pans, but I know they sell replacement ones so we'll go pick those up later this week.


Not to brag...but I got a 'best techer' painting. I feel pretty rad.
Camp.Is.Over. I am hanging up my pony beads.
It was a fun week, it was an exhausting week. The kids left with bags filled with art. For more info on that...see my Teachin' Blog, but wait til tomorrow to check that...I need some downtime tonight! Matt, aka 'Mr. Clay' it was fun teaching with you!
Did another 'Soak and Sketch' this evening...my, how time flies when you are drawing in the tub. I believe I left with waterlogged feet. But I also had a completed drawing, CED #181, so that was a successful soak!
This weekend...either scrap the June self portrait I did already and start over or learn to love it...finish one more CED...my weekly cleaning of the mess I have made this week...artin' with Jess...and getting ready for some out of town visitors!
Creative Every Day #181...hey there, Bettie!
