Will 5G deepen the digital divide?
By Matt Leonard
It's no secret that America's low-income and low-population communities trail urban areas when it comes to broadband access. Government and industry must ensure that gap doesn't expand when 5G becomes operational, public- and private-sector officials said in a hearing Nov. 16.
Today, most electronic devices connect to the internet, and some of those items, like connected vehicles, will be creating significant amounts of data that needs to be processed quickly. Tomorrow's internet requires a faster and more robust network the 4G wireless that connects us now.
5G technology promises to bring the low latency and high reliability required by the internet of things, telemedicine and other applications, according to Chris Pearson, the president of 5G Americas, whose members include AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and other telecom companies.
In testimony before the a House subcommittee on communications and technology Pearson cited societal benefits from 5G applications, such as remote surgery and robotic care for shut-ins or the elderly. "Hearing or visually impaired citizens will be more mobile through the use of self-driving cars and smart, safer homes," he said.
But Shireen Santosham, the chief innovation officer for San Jose, Calif., said cities must have a say in where infrastructure is placed, otherwise industry will ignore areas -- largely lower income and lower population areas -- where it is less economically beneficial for them to build.
San Jose has been pushing a more digital future with a connected vehicle pilot and is excited about 5G, but Santosham doesn't want the city to repeat its past mistakes.
"In San José, historically, we took a laissez-faire approach to our broadband market, which unfortunately resulted in several neighborhoods underserviced by broadband providers -- mostly in low income Latino communities," she said. "It also resulted in low fiber-to-the-premises and little competition in the market leading to lower quality of service, consumer choice, and higher prices for our residents."
Issues about equitable access soon led to conversations about funding.
Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) wanted to know what could be done to ensure that some communities aren't left behind as 5G rolls out.
Coleman Bazelon, a principal at The Brattle Group, said the government will likely have to subsidize the cost of providing the service in these areas. "When there is a public policy to make sure that's provided to rural areas, the federal government is going to have to step in and ensure it," he said.
Santosham suggested that market-based rates will allow cities to have more of a voice when it comes to the deployment of infrastructure.
"Market-based rates allow us to incentivize buildout, especially when we're allowed to build out entire communities," she said. "So we're able to say, 'Hey, here's all the space in the city we'd like to build out, and we'll give you a discount on some of this infrastructure if you're willing to go to the communities to need to be served.'"
In related news, on Nov. 16, the Federal Communications Commission announced it would be opening up spectrum above 24 GHz, which includes "additional 1,700 megahertz of millimeter wave spectrum for terrestrial 5G wireless use."
"This high-frequency spectrum will support innovative new uses enabled by fiber-fast wireless speeds and extremely low latency," the agency announcement said.

Every flower has a wonderful story to tell, but the rose stands alone in its abundant history and colour meaning. Long before texting and twittering, as far back as biblical times, the rose has been used to convey messages in a language of nature's passion and mystery. A symbol of confidentiality; the Latin expression sub rosa (literally "under the rose") means something told in secret. Regardless of colour, their unique beauty and subtle fragrance convey a message guaranteed to elicit delight from the recipient and envy from others. Introduce a little extra sentiment into your message of affection with the rose colours below.
It's no secret that the red rose is the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion, but it also conveys the message of respect, and the creative spirit of love. The red rose is known universally as the lover's flower.
Representing humility, purity, and innocence, the white rose – often referred to as the bridal rose – is associated with young love. Also symbolizing truth and reverence, it sends a message that says, "I am worthy of you".
While in Victorian times, the yellow rose symbolized jealousy, today it represents friendship, remembrance, unbridled joy, and caring. A bouquet of these sun-filled blossoms conveys warmth, gladness, and affection.
This gentle shade connotes grace, gentleness, and poise. Pink roses are the perfect gift for a special someone who is feminine and elegant.
The deeper pink shades convey gratitude, thankfulness, and a commitment to fidelity and loyalty.
These warm vibrant tones symbolize enthusiasm and desire. If you're looking for a way to express admiration and attraction – with an underlying message of excitement – then send a bouquet featuring these fiery orange blooms.
Thought to be almost mystical in nature, with symbolism tied to enchantment, desire, and even proceeding with caution, the purple shades are associated with love at first sight.
Closely associated with lilac & purple, this more modern entry into the rose line-up symbolizes an electric attraction, the thrill and fascination of a new encounter, the impossible or the unattainable, and love at first sight.
Ranging from a warm pink to a rich salmon tone, the roses in this colour family send a message of friendship and partnership, sincerity and genuineness; a safe choice when affirming a great working relationship, or the closing of a new deal.
The velvety petals of this rose will show loss, farewell, and sorrow, or courage and resistance.

UEL weightlifter wins bronze at World University Games
Mercy Brown secures medal with 'do or die' lift in Chinese Taipei
University of East London (UEL) weightlifter Mercy Brown twice broke her British record to secure a bronze medal for Great Britain at the World University Games in Chinese Taipei.
The 21-year-old, who has also competed for England at the Commonwealth Games, initially struggled in the snatch category in the women's 90kg+ competition, falling 7kg short of her personal best with a lift of 98kg.
However, she fought straight back with lifts of 134kg and 136kg in the clean and jerk, twice breaking her previous GB record of 131kg, to seal a deserved bronze medal – one of nine medals won by GB athletes at the Games.
Mercy, who has recently completed her degree in Sports and Exercise Science at UEL, knew that she needed the performance of her life in the clean and jerk if she was to challenge for a medal.
"The 134kg was a PB [personal best] and I was standing there thinking, 'I don't know if I'm going to get this over my head,' but I got it.
"Then the 136kg was a really big PB. I put it on the bar and it was a 'do or die' lift. I was thinking, 'If I don't do this, I'm not going to get a medal."
Mercy had only originally taken up weightlifting to help her pass her GCSE in PE and never imagined she would compete at international level.
"I was one those kids in school that people didn't even expect to finish secondary school so to be at this point now is just crazy," she explained. "I have to pinch myself now."
Mercy was one of three UEL representatives at the Games, with sprinter Corinne Humphreys and swimmer Michael Gunning also seeing action.
Corinne, who was recently selected for the GB 4x100 metres squad at the London 2017 World Athletics Championships, narrowly missed out on a medal after finishing an agonising fourth in the 100 metres final.
Michael competed as the only swimmer for Jamaica but was eliminated in the heats of the 200 metres butterfly.
The World University Games is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympics, with close to 10,000 participants from more than 170 countries competing in dozens of sports.

Q: Using multiple variables summing with i++ I want to sum a flexible number of PDF files that a user can drop in a form.
For a controllable number of files I can manage but I would like it to be flexible.
This is how I do it now for 2 PDF files:
 private void MergePdf_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
 {
     e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
     string[] files = (string[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
     if (files.Length > 1) {return; }

     using (PdfDocument outPdf = new PdfDocument())
     using (PdfDocument pdf0 = PdfReader.Open(files[0], PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import))
     using (PdfDocument pdf1 = PdfReader.Open(files[1], PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import))
     {
         CopyPages(pdf0, outPdf);
         CopyPages(pdf1, outPdf);

         outPdf.Save("file1and2.pdf");

     }
  }

 void CopyPages(PdfDocument from, PdfDocument to)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < from.PageCount; i++)
     {
         to.AddPage(from.Pages[i]);
     }
 }

Now I would like to update the code so that the user is allowed to drop any number of files.
This would mean that I have to create more pdf[i] variables depending on the size of my array files[].
Is this possible in c# or should I just create 100 of these variables already and do a try{} catch{} on all of them?

A: You could loop over the files:
using (PdfDocument outPdf = new PdfDocument())
{
    foreach (string fileName in files)
    {
        using (PdfDocument inPdf = PdfReader.Open(fileName, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import))
        CopyPages(inPdf, outPdf);
    }
    outPdf.Save("file1and2.pdf");
}

The second time of Yes in Italy during the 80's (the band had played in Milano on 84 after a long 10 years absence from the peninsula!) was with the ABWH line-up. Unfortunately, the italian dates were set at the end of the tour and I remember a very cold winter back in 1989. When Jon came onstage with Steve to perform the first couple of acoustic tracks on a medley, everyone could note that his voice was absolutely bad. He just couldn't reach high notes, so he had to manage to sing on a lower register. Nevertheless, the show was quite good and the other musicians seemed to have fun. The audience reacted very well but Jon just couldn't do it. Because of Jon's illness, several songs were dropped from the setlist, notably Close To The Edge. Actually the setlist was shortened more and more during the italian tour: CTTE was dropped in Torino and Milano, while in Roma many more tracks were dropped; Jon was seriously ill! Jon was very professional and, with the whole audience asking for CTTE, he even consulted Steve to check if it was not possible to drop other tracks in favour of it. I clearly remember seeing Steve staring at Jon saying that it was not possible, so the band had to carry on with Heart of the sunrise. Jon did an extra effort to comeback onstage for the last encore, Sweet Dreams but at the end he was exhausted. After Rome, all the rest of the tour was cancelled and the date in Modena was not played on the 1990 tour.
That�s a song from the new album. Here�s a song from another time.
Thank you very much. Thank you. So wonderful. Thank you.
Okay, we�re just going to do a song called, ahh, �Heart of the Sunrise�.
[Something in Italian]. A little bit of rock 'n roll.

Sweeping Property Insurance Bill Passes Florida Senate
The following article was published in the Bradenton Herald on April 28, 2011:
By Janet Zink
The Senate voted 25 to 12 in favor of a sweeping property insurance bill that would free private insurers from having to offer comprehensive sinkhole insurance. Instead, they would have to offer only coverage in cases about catastrophic ground cover collapse, which represents about 1 percent of sinkhole claims. To address concerns that SB 408 would mean people whose banks require that they have such coverage in the lurch, the bill requires the state-run Citizens Property Insurance to offer comprehensive sinkhole coverage.
"This is an economic disaster waiting to happen," said Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, who read a letter sent from a constituent's bank saying they must have sinkhole insurance. "There will be more foreclosures. More forced insurance on homeowners." Forced insurance, he said, means more people will end up unregulated surplus lines for insurance coverage.
But bill sponsor Garrett Richter, R-Naples, and his supporters have argued that the private sector will continue to offer comprehensive sinkhole coverage if they believe they can make money on those products.
Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, said it's not fair to force insurers to offer a product and then tell them how much they can charge for it.
"I don't think that's the American way. It's not the capitalist way," he said.
Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, took exception to that, noting that she's a "free-market person" who has run a business with her husband for 30 years. But the insurance industry, she said, is not really a free market.
"People are forced to buy homeowners insurance as a condition of having a home. So it is a hyper regulated market already. It is not the same as every other free market principle," she said. "I believe people will lose their homes."
Storms characterized the bill as a gift to the insurance industry as a gift to the insurance industry by cutting them loose from sinkhole claims so they can shore up profits.
"I don't' mind for insurance companies to make a living," Storms said. "I do mind for them to make a kiling. And I think this bill allows for them to make a killing."
But J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, noted that just as it's difficult to insure property on naturally vulnerable coastlines, it's difficult to insure property sitting on a sinkhole-pocked state.
"We all live on top of Swiss cheese that's below us. There's a sinkhole sitting beneath every single house in this state," he said. "As a consequence, there are issues."
But he said requiring coverage only for damage caused by a sinkhole that leads to catastrophic groundcover collapse is sufficient. As it is now, trial attorneys encourage homeowners to file sinkhole claims for hairline cracks in a driveway, and claimants take payouts and use the money to pay off mortgages instead of making repairs. That's an expensive proposition for insurers, he said.
"You get enough losses in these insurance companies it will eventually perk up in two ways. Either your rates are going to go up, or they're gong to leave," he said. "A competitive market ultimately will deliver the most cost effective goods and services in the world."
Richter disagreed with Fasano's assessment that the bill was one of the most anti-consumer measures of the legislative session.
"This bill is very consumer friendly," he said. "It attacks cost drivers. It attacks fraud. It promotes competition." All of those things, he said, will lower costs for consumers.

My daughter Erin loves watching Youtube videos of Life Hacks being tested so when a friend (Hey Brittnnie!) started a Life Hack testing group on Facebook I was quick to join. The aim being to see if these Life Hacks actually work or not.
Since then we've done a few tests that I'm going to share here too.
We tried this and I'm not convinced. Supposedly doing this will make your drink colder quicker. We did one with a wet paper towel and one without. They were both about the same temperature after 15 minutes in the freezer which was not quite cold enough.
We tried this one because our daughter Leigh loves Oreos. We had a few incidents of putting the fork in making the Oreo break in half but apart from that it was a success. You can dunk an entire Oreo at once which is nice.
This is a great tip. Hulling strawberries is really easy and unmessy this way. I used to work in a bakery where they used tons of strawberries in the summer so everyone had to occasionally help out hulling them. Your fingers would be red (and grossly sticky) after doing just a few. I'll use this method from now on.
More Life Hack tests coming up as we do them.


Some themes don't make the headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) very big so the quote image in the heading in the default template may appear cut off.
To fix this, try this custom CSS to set the heading height to match the image.
Q: Why can't you just add this to the plugin to handle small headings by default?
Because it would adversely affect headings that are already at least that size. It would compact a heading that is 48px, for example. I have found most <h3> headings are at least 29px. I have not found a way to compensate for it in the template structure that doesn't create other unwanted behavior.
Unfortunately, CSS does not have a min-line-height rule. When the world abandons Internet Explorer 8-9, we may be able to use Flexbox to solve this permanently.
Q: Where should I put custom CSS?
If you're using a free or premium theme, I recommend making a child theme. That CSS fix would simple go at the end your stylesheet.
Child themes offer several advantages but require a little technical knowledge. There are plugins that create child themes but they are not foolproof, especially for some pro theme frameworks.
Another good option is by using a plugin like Modular Custom CSS if you like to use the WordPress Customizer, or SiteOrigin CSS if you like to peek under the hood.
And obviously, if you're building your own theme or custom testimonials template, that CSS fix would go in your stylesheet.

What It Takes to Build a Career in SAP as a Technical Consultant
By: Anish Asokan | Published: January 24, 2013
Source: Flickr/Alva Chien
Takeaway: In recent years, demand for SAP consultants has been growing. Do you have what it takes?
In recent years, demand for SAP consultants has been growing as SAP increasingly becomes an important part of the ERP market. According the Oxford Index for Q1 2013, which surveys IT and engineering consultants about their need for SAP consultants, 33 percent of managers expected their use of SAP consultants to increase in the first quarter of 2013, while 41 percent expected no change. Only 23 percent anticipated a decrease. This is a trend that's persisted for a few years, and has left many working in or looking to enter the IT field wondering about whether SAP might be a good path to choose.
The question is, what are the skills required to become an SAP technical consultant in today's market? Will a certification in SAP-ABAP help? As with any major career decision, the questions are never ending, and in fact most people run into trouble when they get different answers to the same questions. Many believe that only those with a degree in computer science or engineering could get into - or exel - at this job. But while those skills are certainly very helpful, any student /professional who can understand the basics of code development and has an active and vivid interest in these things can take a stab at SAP. What matter most is that you have good logical and analytical skills. Here we'll take a look at some of the key steps to a career in SAP-ABAP. (Get more career tips in our Job Roles section.)
SAP-ABAP Certification: To Get It or Not?
The question of whether a certification in SAP-ABAP can provide a one-way ticket to a rewarding career is one that troubles a lot of people looking to enter this field. A certification does look great on a resume and can help you get a jump-start on some important skills, but it is also time consuming to complete, and may cost you some money as well. If you can afford these costs, go for it. If, on the other hand, you don't think you can afford the time and/or money involved, don't worry. A lack of certification isn't a deal breaker. Look to gain the experience you need first. That way if you do pursue certification, you will have some of the skills to make it much easier. Some people are even lucky enough to start a career as a junior SAP-ABAP consultant in various services/product-based companies and work their way up without certification. (For related reading, see How I Got and IT Job Without a Tech Background.)
Another workable solution is to move into the technical side of other ERPs and then use that experience to move into SAP-ABAP. As you get to know the fundamentals of technical concepts and business areas, employers will be more receptive to considering you for a position in SAP, because less training will be needed. Add a certification to this experience and you should be well positioned to land a job in the field.
Building Your SAP Skills
SAP also provides a handy, tool, the Internet Demonstration and Evaluation System (IDES). IDES supports demos and self study based on model companies designed to demonstrate relevant business processes. For SAP-ABAP enthusiasts, the best part is that unlike other functional modules of SAP, which require Hugh configuration, the components of technical programming are easier to learn and practice in the IDES system.
Like most programming languages, ABAP also has executable programs, which are classified into reports and module pools. The data used by SAP is stored in data dictionaries and is accessed by programs using SQL-like statements. Understanding these programming concepts along with the SAP architecture and landscape provides a basic foundation for any SAP technical consultant. Once these are learned, you can progress to more technical things, like SAP workflows, enhancements, SmartForms, SAPscript, Idocs and Web Dynpro architecture.These areas are mostly proprietary to SAP, and require extensive knowledge of its underlying functionalities. Understanding the business and how it is translated in technical terms in SAP will also help in gaining expertise in one or more areas.
Digging Into Programming
Every SAP-ABAP consultant starts his or her career by focusing on programming. Beginners may not able to understand the total picture of the functionality or requirements, and are therefore essentially ABAP programmers. Your grasp of programming concepts, syntax, semantics and keywords needs to be sharpened. Completing developments in a timely manner is another area to focus on at this stage. It would also be a good practice for beginners to understand the different ways of implementing logic, thus strengthening their command over coding practices.
As time goes on and you gain more real project experience, you'll be expected to understand the key functional areas of SAP and the related developments. You should also be able to able to design and evaluate solutions, understand higher levels of business requirements and communicate more like a business key user rather than a programmer. Working on different implementations, upgrades, support and roll-out projects should provide the grooming required to be an SAP technical architect. It'll also provide a much-needed proficiency in different areas of the technical side of SAP.
Finally, if you want to work in SAP, you need to understand the true goal of an SAP technical consultant. Many people believe it is to handle a team to work on technical developments, and provide support and suggestions while evaluating solutions. Although these are part of the role of an SAP consultant, he or she is also expected to ensure best practices in the development methodology and industry, as well as provide the metrics and time lines needed for different projects.
Why SAP?
There is a great demand for SAP technical consultants, especially if you can learn super-specialized topics related to SAP like Idocs and Web Dynpro, and gain an understanding of the business world and how SAP ERP can put companies on the cutting edge.Today's SAP consultants are expected to be capable of meeting client expectations by completing developments in a timely and responsive manner. But don't discount technical skills for the more basic ones that are so essential in all IT jobs, such as analytical and problem-solving skills and a desire to learn and improve along with technology.

My personal thoughts and opinions on different things in WoW.
There is a new topic up on Z & Cinder's blog and it's all about getting to know the person behind the blog. Z and Cinder writes: This lovely list of questions has been floating around twitter a lot recently, and we thought it would be a great topic challenge for everyone to get to know each other a little better.
How do you drink your tea? I don't drink tea very often but when I do it's usually with honey.
Favorite dessert? Ice cream! Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie, or anything chocolate.
Favorite season and why? Summer because I love the sun, swimming, being outside and not having to wear warm clothes. Our summers are usually short, so we learn to appreciate every sunny day we get.
What cheers you up? A lot of things cheer me up, like my boyfriend, friends and family, watching a show or movie I like, listening to music and animals!
Dogs or cats? If I have to pick: Cats, cause I don't have to take them out for walks and I've always had cats.
What is your dream holiday? There are so many amazing places I would love to visit, but my dream holiday has to be at least a few weeks in a water bungalow with all-inclusive on a small island in the Maldives or a similar paradise. A quiet place I can relax, do nothing if I want, listen to the ocean, swim and eat delicious food.
How many kids do you want? At least two, because I grew up as an only child and I always wanted a brother or sister.
Favorite weather? Sun and 20+ degrees. But I feel weird if it goes too long without some heavy rain cause I'm so used to rain, and I love thunderstorms!
What would your last meal be? Norwegian Christmas dinner: Pinnekjøtt with kålrabistappe which is lamb ribs with mashed rutabaga.
You can spend 24 hours anywhere, where? I would go back in time and spend more time with my grandmother.
Who or what would you haunt as a ghost? Probably someone I dislike a lot.
Family ancestry? I'm 50% Norwegian and 50% Filipino.
What scares you? Losing someone I love, accidents, war and how acts of racism, white supremacy and extreme far-right groups have become more accepted here.
What are you grateful for? My boyfriend, my family and friends, for being born in Norway and being healthy.
Dream job? To work with animals, like on a farm or sanctuary.
Do you believe in aliens? Yes, but aliens doesn't necessary have to mean conscious and intelligent like humans, they can be other animals, plants, bacteria or anything alive that grows another place in the universe.
Favorite sport? I like to watch football (which some of you call soccer).
How do you relax after a long day? Sometimes I fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV or I relax by playing a game like WoW, Overwatch, Diablo 3.
If you could meet one historical figure, who would you choose and why? I have no idea.
If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach? I'm currently studying to become a teacher, not for school children, but day care teacher. A subject in school? Probably Norwegian as it was my best subject in school.
A perfect day: Home with good food, a movie, TV show or playing games, or going out for dinner and a movie. Or just a long hike on a sunny day with lunch on a mountain top.
Describe yourself in a sentence: I try to be the best version of myself.
Who makes you laugh the most? My boyfriend.
What superpower would you choose? I wish I could heal others and make illness go away.
Favorite animal? Cats! But I like almost all animals, like dogs, horses, rabbits, pigs, cows, goats, and I could go on.
Biggest accomplishment? Going back to school.
I just realized I've been inactive here for around nine months. There are several reasons for that, the first being real life and more precisely school. I've been taking two classes I need and I've been drowning in school work. But the hard work has paid off, so I'm happy I took it seriously. I only have exams left next month, then I'm done. It's been exhausting and I haven't had time or energy to play much. But to be honest, I haven't really felt like playing WoW very much either, and that's the second reason. I did play a while back in January and thought I had found a guild to raid very casual with, but by the time I had geared up enough to join, then they had stopped raiding.
I have played other games like Diablo 3 and Overwatch because they don't require so much time, you can just login whenever you got an hour or two and do something fun. I feel like WoW requires more time, you depend much more on other players and it isn't always fun, for instance if you end up in a group with terrible and rude players and waste your precious time on them. Yes, it has happened on more than one occasion. I almost forgot to mention that I bought Destiny 2 and enjoyed it for a few weeks before I felt like I paid too much for too little.
Allied races made me want to play WoW again cause I really want a highmountain tauren, but I didn't have time or money, so I decided to wait. I've barely played this year, so I was ever so surprised when I discovered that I got into the Battle for Azeroth alpha in March. That made me take time off to play. So I made a druid and went exploring and questing in Zuldazar. I haven't played as much as I've wanted, but I think there will be more time in the near future. Battle for Azeroth just went into beta, so I have to make a new character anyway. I'm excited to get back into it and do my duty.
I will try to get back to blogging now that I actually might have something interesting to blog about.
17th of May is Norway's National Day and an official national holiday. We call it Søttende mai which means Seventeenth May. 201 years ago the constitution was created at Eidsvoll and Norway became an independent kingdom after a 434 years union with Denmark. We Norwegians are proud to be independent and celebrate it with parades, flags, music, food and festivities.
I celebrated the day in Bergen with my boyfriend and his mother and stepfather who visited from Sweden. It was their first National Day celebration here in Norway and I think they enjoyed it. The city was so beautifully decorated with flags, flowers in the colors of the flag and everyone wore their best clothes like bunads or suit and dresses even though it rained quite a bit during the parade. We watched the parades, skydivers over the city, listened to the speeches and sang the National Anthem. Then we ate sushi for dinner and went to Starbucks for a coffee and dessert. Walked around in the city and looked at all the people and everything there was to see on this special day. Later in the evening there was a concert on Bryggen with great artists, all with a connection to Bergen, Sissel Kyrkjebø, Sondre Lerche, Charlie Siem, Bjarte Hjelmeland and Ylvis. Then the big new cruise ship Viking Star was christened and there were fireworks.
Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful 2014 and I wish you all the best for 2015.
I spent my new years eve at home with my boyfriend. We made a special dinner, drank wine and watched a movie before we went outside around midnight to watch the fireworks. There were so much fireworks! At one point there was so much smoke from it all that we couldn't see further than 20 meters. Our upstairs neighbors had bought some fireworks and they fired it up right outside our apartment, it was loud and beautiful. I was so surprised the cat didn't run and hide. She was indoors of course but she's never been afraid of fireworks and she wasn't this time either. She sat in the window and looked out most of the time.
Thank you for another great blog year. The annual report from WordPress.com is here! It's always fun to watch the stats for the previous year to see how many visitors I've had and which post has been most popular. Click here to see the complete report.
Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 67,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
I've already posted my blogging resolutions for the new year and I'm planning to write a post about my resolutions for WoW, but I thought I'd add some real life resolutions as well. 2014 was a good year, so much changed to the better. We moved to Norway, got jobs and our first apartment together.
How was your new year's eve? Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
November was a busy month with BlizzCon, the launch of Warlords of Draenor, my 25th birthday and a visit from Sweden. At first we spend a lot of time fixing the apartment we have lived in for four months now. There were still some things to do and stuff to buy, but it's about finished now after a few trips to IKEA and some other stores. We had to prepare for both the expansion launch and my birthday including two birthday parties so the fridge and storage were filled with all kinds of goodies.
Our plan was to play as much as we could that week and weekend in between work and birthday parties, but it didn't work out that well because of the latency and queue problems on our realm. So it took much longer than we thought to level up and the first levels took the longest. We decided to just wait for it all to get better and spent more time doing other things like do the first quests on our alts to get them to the garrison, complete missions, level professions and sell stuff at the auction house. My druid is a scribe and got all the new glyphs pretty quick so I sold all of them and earned a good amount of gold the first week.
We had a visitor from Sweden the weekend after so we spent the whole weekend showing her the city, visiting family and eating amazing food. Went to Pepperkakebyen which is the largest gingerbread town in the world, enjoyed the view of the city from Fløyen and ate Norwegian Christmas dinner.
It didn't take long to hit level 100 when we finally had time to play. Now we're trying to gear up for raids by doing heroic dungeons and we might try out some challenge modes soon. I'm also planning to level up my shaman very soon, she's already level 92 but she's stuck in her garrison doing missions and profession stuff. I think and hope we will have more time to play in the future, but there is a lot to do this month as well with Christmas coming up soon. We're not going anywhere but we have some presents to buy, then there is work, family visits and meetings with friends.
How has your first month of Warlords of Draenor been?

Will.I.Am essentially sings "happy birthday" to himself in his song, 'It's My Birthday', we reckon he's probably taken inspiration from his calendar for more important dates to sing about on his new album!
These are all probably going to be huge hits...probably. Reckon we've nailed the songs from Will.I.Am's next album?

Common human viruses threaten endangered great apes
Press Release..
Contact: Cathleen Genova
cgenova@cell.com
Common human viruses are responsible for outbreaks of respiratory disease that have led to the decline of endangered chimpanzees in the wild, according to a study reported online on January 24th in Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. The findings—which are the first to provide direct evidence of virus transmission from humans to wild great apes—illustrate the challenge of maximizing the benefit of research and tourism to great apes while minimizing the negative side effects that come with human contact, the researchers say.
"Research and tourism has a strong positive effect on great apes' survival since it reduces poaching activities in these areas and gives more 'political weight' to the apes and protected areas," said Fabian Leendertz of Robert Koch-Institut and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. "[The spread of viruses] has been a concern, but people had never proven it. Our demographic analyses of chimpanzees suggest that this started as soon as people got close enough to chimps to transmit diseases. There is a correlation between habituation—the proximity between humans and chimps—and disease outbreaks."
Commercial hunting and habitat loss are major drivers of the rapid decline of great apes, the researchers said. Ecotourism and research have been widely promoted as a means of providing alternative value for apes and their habitats. While close contact between humans and habituated apes has raised concerns about disease transmission, previous studies had only demonstrated the spread of relatively mild bacterial and parasitic infections from humans to wild apes.
In the new study, the researchers gathered evidence from chimpanzees hit by five distinct respiratory outbreaks between 1999 and 2006 in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The outbreaks sickened almost all of the chimps and led to a significant number of deaths.
All available tissue samples taken from chimps who had died tested positive for one of two paramyxoviruses: human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) or human metapneumovirus (HMPV), the researchers report. HRSV and HMPV are common causes of respiratory disease in humans and are the leading causes of lower respiratory disease in children and, in developing countries, a major source of infant mortality, the researchers said. In adults, HRSV and HMPV usually cause mild upper-respiratory-tract infection but can lead to more serious illnesses such as pneumonia.
"The viruses we found are very common," Leendertz said. "Antibody prevalence in humans is almost up to 100 percent, meaning almost everybody has had contact with these viruses."
Twenty-four years of mortality data from observed chimpanzees revealed that such respiratory outbreaks could have a long history, Leendertz's team reported. But, they added, there was some good news: "Survey data show that research presence has had a strong positive effect in suppressing poaching around the research site."
The researchers have already stepped up guidelines to help minimize the disease risk to chimpanzees, and they urge others to do the same. For example, Leendertz said, they now maintain a distance of at least seven meters, wear masks, and disinfect their boots regularly.

Be creative!
Please consider your partner's interests and requests when crafting, and feel free to contact your orgainzer with questions or worries! If you have any doubts about your partner's interests, please ask them to make sure they will be receiving something they can use and enjoy. Communication is vital to a positive swap experience!
Please be prepared to craft at least 1 large, 1 medium, and 2 small items; or you can increase that if both partners are willing to do more (or if you just want to spoil your partner!).
Also please post at least once a week in the thread so everyone knows that we are all still working steadily towards completion of our projects. I will be asking everyone to check in on weekends - simply by posting a note in the thread to let us know you are still working and progressing towards completion of your items.
Feedback will reflect communications with organizers and on the thread so remember this as an important aspect of this swap!
Lack of communication without cause can result in your removal from this swap.
Are you a single practitioner, or in a coven?
If yes to the altar kit, for what season/holiday/theme/etc.?
Partners will be posted both here and in the gallery on June 1st.

Hopefully with a lot of communication between partners and within the group, you will be able to make a package that will be wonderful and exactly what your partner will want!

Time for a sex re-set? How to make it hot again
Sex. When it's good, it's good, and when it's great, it's unforgettable. But annoyingly, the sex that often turns up in your most-played fantasies may not have been with the person you're currently with.
"Many women register 'great sex' as the first time they had an orgasm, the first time they pushed their boundaries, or the times they had sex with the first person they fell in love with," explains Dr Tammy Nelson, a psychotherapist and author of The New Monogamy: Redefining Your Relationship After Infidelity.
And even if your fantasy does star your partner, it still may not be as amazing as you remember in the beginning. That's because, according to experts, sexual passion and arousal are particularly prone to a phenomenon called "hedonic adaptation", aka, feeling a bit business-as-usual between the sheets.
The good news? By analysing your best-ever encounter, it is possible to recreate that feeling. Here, readers share their hottest sex stories - with expert advice on how to top them tonight.
20 amazing facts about our vaginas we bet you didn't know
Can tampons get lost up there? And do vaginas shrink?
Putting on a show
"My best sex was with a hot Swiss guy I met at a bar, who was really good in bed. I knew there wouldn't be a relationship, but that didn't mean we couldn't have fun. He'd call every few weeks, whenever he was in London for business, and always stayed in a fancy top-floor hotel suite. I loved heading there knowing the next few hours would be just about sex. We'd do it standing up, against the windows. Normally, I'm pretty conservative, but I loved feeling like the femme fatale in this situation." Annie, 29
Try it right now When Dr Ogi Ogas, a cognitive neuroscientist and co-author of A Billion Wicked Thoughts, analysed the online behaviour of more than 100 million people, he found that while male fantasies focused on orgasm, female fantasies centered on being the object of desire. "Top female fantasies include being watched, being worshipped, and having sex with a stranger," says Dr Ogas. The hotel room, the guy coming in just for the weekend - Annie's experience ticks those boxes. Renting a hotel room isn't always feasible, but role-playing (say, pretending you don't know him at the bar) can be surprisingly hot. Not into acting? Opening the windows and imagining anyone can hear you moan can satisfy your inner exhibitionist.
Spanking good fun
"I once had BDSM-style sex when I was at uni. He and I always crossed paths in the halls, but never got to know each other until a random night of drinking, when the chemistry between us was palpable. At one point, he asked me to go to the bar to get a round, and I jokingly said, "Yes, sir", which led to our conversation taking a bit of a BDSM tone. Soon, we were kissing, and at one point, I pulled away because I'm shy about PDAs. He said he wanted to punish me, and I told him I wished he would. Back in his room, he spanked me as promised. It was sexy and I loved how I was able to be uninhibited enough to let him take control like that." Clodagh, 22
Try it right now If you want to add BDSM-lite into the bedroom, have your partner 'bind' your wrists with tissue. "You know you can break out, but you can appreciate the mental game," says clinical sexologist Charley Ferrer. And often, because this type of sex can be so intense in real life, foreplay is key. "The more planning involved, the better," adds Ferrer. Check out literotica.com, a free website of erotic fantasy stories, and send him a link to one that turns you on. A story can be a great icebreaker for discussing what does and doesn't get you in the mood, plus you can use it as a springboard to discuss what would happen if both of you were the main characters.

These sex toys won't disappoint.
Oral examinations
"Until I was 23, I'd never had an orgasm during sex. Then I started dating someone who once had me clear my Saturday so he could spend the entire afternoon performing oral sex on me. When he made it obvious that there was nothing he would rather be doing, I relaxed - and climaxed, twice. Seven years later, I still fantasise about a guy going to town with his tongue the way my ex did." Jenny, 30
Try it right now "An entire afternoon of all-about-you action should be a regular on the calendar," says Uta Demontis, a London-based clinical sexologist. One study found that women are most likely to orgasm from a variety of sexual acts, including oral sex, than they are from just intercourse alone. "Some women have trouble finding the time they need, and deserve, for pleasure," adds Demontis. "Most men love to please women sexually, but may require direction." One way to ask for it? Appeal to his competitive side. Say you think he can make you climax two times in an hour - and let him try to top it.
Saying the magic words
"My best sex ever was with my now-husband, the night he proposed. The entire day had been such a whirlwind, and I remember him collapsing into bed next to me and saying, 'I love my 'almost' wife.' It might sound silly, but hearing the word wife turned me on like nothing else. Right after that, I climbed on top of him, and ended up having the most intense orgasm of my life." Kate, 30.
Try it right now "This situation was about Kate deeply surrendering into love, but the larger theme is that, for women especially, what they hear before and during sex is essential," says Demontis. She recommends exploring aural pleasure by experimenting with erotic talk. Start by reading The Fine Art Of Erotic Talk by Bonnie Gabriel, or simply narrating exactly what's going on as you're getting it on ('you're trailing your hands up my hips towards my breasts') can be a huge turn-on.
"A close colleague had just broken up with his girlfriend and was in a bad way, so I agreed to go round to his flat and watch a film. We weren't each other's type, but he was lonely, hot - and it happened. I soon learned he had a huge penis and knew how to use it, but the reason it's my go-to fantasy is because we could head straight to the action. I wasn't worried about how I looked or whether he fancied me. He and I both wanted sex, so I felt I could just let go and really appreciate every second." Allison, 27
Everything that Sex and the City taught us about sex and love
"I love you, but I love me more"
Try it right now "The more comfortable you are, the better the sex," says relationship psychologist Susan Quilliam. "There was a surprise element at play here, which boosted adrenaline, yet the sex was with someone familiar. Whether it's a romantic relationship or a hook-up with a friend, getting away from same-old sex is so important. "To get the comfort and surprise factor in a long-term relationship, play around with timing: surprise your guy with oral right as he's waking up - and, when he's fully conscious, let him know you're happy for him to return the favour."
"I had a threesome in my twenties with my best friend and her boyfriend. We confessed at a party that it was on all of our sexual wish lists, so a few weeks later we gave it a go. I wouldn't do it again - it ended up being a bit awkward afterwards - but I loved the feeling of hands and mouths all over my body. It was amazing to be kissing my friend as her boyfriend touched me, and I loved feeling him inside me as she was caressing my breasts." Jenny, 34
Try it right now According to a 2013 survey of more than 5,000 18-39 year olds around the world, nearly one in five has tried a threesome. But there's a reason they haven't replaced your Saturday date night: because even though they can be exciting, they do get complicated. "A successful threesome requires a lot of communication, trust, understanding and emotional maturity," says Demontis. "That said, the fantasy can be safely played out between two people." Feathers can add additional sensations as your partner is penetrating you, or try the JimmyJane Hello Touch Wearable Vibrator, which slips on one partner's hand while each finger is covered with a vibrating pad that produces sensation. "Part of the appeal of a threesome is also the fact that you feel someone is watching; so doing it in front of a mirror or getting it on while porn is playing in the background can also produce a similar feeling," suggests Demontis.
What's underneath counts
"I always thought that novelty underwear was clichéd, but once, on a date with my husband, I wore a pair of crotchless knickers I'd been given at my hen do - mainly because I'd run out of clean pants. When I told him, his eyes lit up. He kept whispering in my ear about them: the fact that people could see them when my legs were slightly open, that he was going to follow me to the toilets and touch me right there. He didn't, but as soon as we got home, almost as soon as he slid his fingers inside me, I came straight away." Jane, 30
Try it right now "Mentioning sexy underwear on a date with a long-term partner can refocus your brain from going through your to-do list or chatting about work together, to thinking and talking about sex," says Quilliam. With crotchless knickers, the sensation of feeling air on a part of your body that's usually kept under wraps can be sensuous. Going without knickers (and letting your partner know) can do the trick, too. But it's all about the anticipation. "If you're feeling brave, you could always send a Snapchat close-up of a bit of lacy trim along with a message: 'Can't wait for you to get inside these later.'"
Wet and wild
"I'd always wanted to have sex in the sea. My boyfriend had done it loads of times (show-off), but eventually indulged me on holiday in Croatia. We started by sunbathing in a private area, and I loved feeling him rub sun cream onto my breasts and down my back. When we got into the sea, he pulled me toward him and slipped inside me. Feeling weightless in the water, coupled with the fact we were so close to climaxing, felt amazing." Isabel, 26
Try it right now "Sand, bacteria and condom breakdown are all good reasons not to try this scenario out in real life," says Quilliam. Unless of course you're in a committed relationship and using other forms of birth control. But different sensations are at play here, a lot of which can be recreated on dry land. "A warming or cooling lube used during foreplay creates a slippery sensation. If there's room for two in the bath (if you're using condoms, avoid bubble baths or soaps as bath and shower gels can reduce condom efficacy), go on top while he uses the side of the tub to thrust; that combined with the weightless sensation in the water can make the position feel more intense than it would be in bed."

Interfaith Open House connects community
Anna Gamez, Staff Writer|December 7, 2018
In the gathering area of the Friends Center, located in the Eva Campbell House, Guilford students, faculty and staff members joined for the Interfaith Open House on Thursday, Nov. 29. Energy was high at the event, as hot cocoa, coffee and cookies were served from 3:00 p.m to 5:00 p.m. and attendees were able to meet with members of the Interfaith Leadership Council and play tug-of-war with canine Bruiser.
Representing the spiritual life on Guilford's campus, the Interfaith Leadership Council consists of the Catholic Campus Ministry, Guilford Christian Ministry and the Muslim Student Association, among others. Located in the Friends Center, the office of the head of campus ministry seeks to uplift individuals through means of reflection, meditation and prayer and is available to community members who may be in need of support through discussion and meeting.
The campus ministry emphasizes interfaith to celebrate Guilford's religious diversity and give students meaningful opportunities for worship.
"We've been talking about this, instead of using interfaith, using multifaith," said Interim Co-Director of Quaker Leadership Scholars Program Evelyn Jadin. "The idea of different religions coming together to simply support each other and being in community with one another."
The Open House showcased the newly refurbished Interfaith prayer space, which seeks to provide a safe, quiet space for community members to pray and meditate. During the last academic year, the prayer room was located in The Hut, but with recent renovations underway at Guilford, the space has now been relocated to the Friends Center.
"(The Hut) was a very small space, it was kind of dirty," said Director of Friends Center and Quaker Studies Wess Daniels. "I had students who told me later that they like this space better, so when we brought it back over (to Friends Center), I wanted to emphasize this multifaith perspective."
The refurbished prayer space, which is open from 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m, features a bookcase with a variety of religious and spiritual readings, meditative pillows and a prayer rug facing Mecca.
"We wanted the space to reflect that whatever religious tradition you are a part of, there is something for you in here, or even if you're not religious but you just need a quiet space to meditate, then this is the place for you," Daniels said.
The open house event gave Guilford community members an opportunity to learn about the religious and spiritual life at Guilford and ways to become involved.
"The Friends Center does a lot of both work on focusing on Quakerism and Quaker studies and a lot of Interfaith work, but a lot of people on campus don't necessarily know that," said Interim Co-Director of Quaker Leadership Scholars Program Aleks Babic. "It's a space for pastoral support, so if somebody wants, they don't have to be Quaker, they don't have to be of any faith, but if they want a particular kind of support, we can offer that as well as education about different faiths, including Quaker studies."
Interfaith is working on a variety of new projects and events for the Guilford community, which the Interfaith Leadership Council hopes will bring more awareness and collaboration. A current project in the works is "Power Yoga for Every Body," held in the Reagan Brown Field House from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. every Tuesday, which is intended to promote spiritual wellness.
"I would love to see more collaboration, interfaith collaboration," Babic said. "And when we say interfaith, it really does mean everyone on campus who wants to be involved in something like that. My hope is that this space will see more people come through and bring their ideas and then bring different projects to life."

Thanks for the article and sharing about our work. We are very excited about the strength and momentum of our interfaith/multifaith campus ministry team on campus. I am writing because there is one misprint here. To clarify, I told the reporter feedback I got from students who have used both prayer rooms that they appreciated it being back over at Friends Center, because they felt last year's prayer space in the Hut was too "small, and kind of dirty." That wasn't my quote or assessment, nor was it a statement about the entirety of the space: it was student feedback about how they really appreciated the relocation of the space to Friends Center where it has been since before my time here at Guilford. Thanks!

Your Wedding Invitation's Font as a Rorschach Test (Really!)—What Does It Say About You?
What does your invitation's font say about your personality? Pum Lefebure, Cofounder of Design Army, a D.C.-based graphic-design firm, deconstructs the lettering on five invites.
"I call the tiny block typeface here [Sackers Gothic] the fashionista's font.' Marc Jacobs uses it on printed material. The little arrow on the and' does a nice job of evoking Cupid in place of a heart, which would be cheesy."
"Simple lettering lets the art stand out. The Helvetica typeface is what designers reach for again and again. We call it the Honda of fonts,' and even Grandma can read it."
"A funky mix of Western-and carnival-inspired fonts has the potential to look busy, but it's laid out here in a smart way. Contrasting light and dark inks make it easy to read."
"This giant display type freaked me out at first. It works because it's done in soft, pretty colors. It looks like an old Playbill."
"Free-form swirls evoke the wind and waves on the beach where they're getting married—proof that typography can express a mood. You don't have to be literal and use images like seashells or sand dollars."
Do you think font is important for invitations? Which of these do you like best?


LSE-OnLine (or Line Structure Engineering on line) is a service provided by IAMSL that allows the user to submit a data form on information gathered on any overhead line structure, be it an as built or new design structure, single or multiple designs.
The information gathered and entered on the form is then sent back to IAMSL via our website and, within an agreed timeframe, a Line Design Report Structure drawing will be sent back to the user showing whether the line structure conforms to the required Australia/New Zealand overhead line design standards.
The pole data capture form can be completed onsite using a tablet device or entered online from a desktop in the office.
The completed form can then be uploaded to a portal on the IAMSL website where it will be received by one of our line design engineers, after an automated email notification is sent through that a line structure analysis or design request is pending.
Once the completed pole data capture form is downloaded and received by IAMSL, a Line Structure Engineering (LSE) analysis will be carried out on the information submitted from the form. A Structure Data Sheet (SDS) drawing will then be completed to show whether the 'As Built' or 'New Design' structure conforms to design standards.
The completed design will show a Serviceability Index (SI) result that is in accordance with the relative design standards, and must be of a value of greater than 1.0 to conform.
A High index (SI >> 1.0) indicates a highly serviceable structure with excess strength.
A Low index (SI < 1.0) indicates risk of failure reinforcement/replacement required.
A Structure Data Sheet (SDS) is then sent back to the user with the recommended pole replacement design or the required reinforcement solution.
LSE-OnLine can be used for single or multiple structure line designs.

Ada van Rossem (Rotterdam, 10 januari 1915 - Doetinchem, 28 april 2000) was een Nederlandse verzetsstrijdster tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en maakte deel uit van de groep Packard.

Bij het uitbreken van de Tweede Wereldoorlog oefende Van Rossem haar praktijk uit als arts op Boothstraat 10 te Utrecht. In september 1943 stelde zij op verzoek van Henk Deinum haar woning beschikbaar voor het inrichten van de geheime meteorologische waarnemings- en zendpost 'Irene-Met'. Gedurende een jaar wist zij de post voor de Duitse bezetter geheim te houden tot de Sicherheitsdienst (SD) de zender met behulp van door de straten rijdende peilwagens opspoorde. De telegrafist (marconist),Theodorus Dubois, wist zich tijdens de overval en de daarna plaatsvindende ondervraging van Van Rossem en van de in de loop van de uren binnenkomende dokterspatiënten verborgen te houden.

Van Rossem was uitstekend op de hoogte van de zendprocedures en beheerste ook het morsealfabet. Tijdens het verhoor door de SD hield zij vol de telegrafist te zijn. Zo nu en dan maakte zij met de voet tikkend op de vloer het V-teken, de "V" van Victorie! Een morsesein dat door Dubois kon worden gehoord. De SD-ondervragers dwongen haar daarmee op te houden. Pas na drie weken bezweek zij onder de verhoren en moest zij de namen prijsgeven van de betrokken medewerkers van het zendstation. De meesten konden zich tijdig uit de voeten maken. De aan het station verbonden KNMI-medewerker tevens telegrafist, August Johannes van Ginkel, werd op 17 november opgepakt toen hij uit zijn schuilplaats tevoorschijn kwam. Op 15 december 1944 werd hij als een represaillemaatregel door de Duitsers geëxecuteerd.

Van Rossem werd op 10 mei 1945 bevrijd uit gevangenschap. Zij vertrok als arts naar Nederlands-Indië en huwde in 1948 met Dr. H.F.Fischer. Later werd zij benoemd tot geneesheer-directeur van de Rijksasielen voor Psychopaten te Avereest.

Voor betoonde moed tijdens de oorlogsjaren ontving Van Rossem het Bronzen Kruis.
