Balancing act makes some wary of Khanna
By Tal Kopan
Tom Williams / CQ-Roll Call Inc.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, is a fixture on cable news because of his ease on social media. He's a free thinker to his supporters, an opportunist to his critics.
REP. RO KHANNA
BIRTHPLACE: Philadelphia
EDUCATION: University of Chicago bachelor's degree in economics, 1998; Yale University law degree, 2001
GOVERNMENT CAREER: Deputy assistant secretary, U.S. Commerce Department, 2009-11; House of Representatives, 2016-present
FAMILY: Married to Ritu Ahuja Khanna, formerly in marketing for Italian jewelry firm Bulgari. Two children, ages 6 months and 2 years.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Ro Khanna calls representing Silicon Valley the "first line" of his identity. It's a statement that rings profoundly true — for better or worse.
The Fremont Democrat's success has largely come from his ability to fit in with the culture of the tech world. His ability to appeal to some of tech's wealthiest political donors helped propel his election to Congress over an eight-term Democratic incumbent.
But the same traits that help him connect with the valley are at the root of skepticism he faces as he gains prominence nationally and leans into an independent streak that puts him at odds with some Democratic colleagues. His closeness with the epicenter of American wealth has also raised eyebrows as Khanna takes a progressive line, including joining the presidential campaign of a self-described democratic socialist who laments the "proliferation of millionaires and billionaires" in an unequal society and has embraced calls to break up Facebook.
Much like the titans of Silicon Valley, Khanna is unapologetically ambitious and says his goal is changing the world. His confidence pushes him to take on big challenges — even when trying to weave together seemingly mutually exclusive ideas.
At 42, the second-term congressman's ease on social media and in front of a camera has made him a fixture on cable news. That quick rise has earned him many national profile pieces, and his decision to co-chair independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination has only increased the intrigue.
To his supporters, Khanna is a free thinker who pursues his ideals whether they're popular or not. To his critics, he's an opportunist, one who shopped for congressional seats and did whatever he could to win, then adapted his politics to what could help him rise.
Khanna calls himself a "pro-growth progressive" or a "progressive capitalist." It's how he reconciles a worldview that combines semi-socialist elements gaining popularity on the left with centrist endorsement of the promise of Silicon Valley's entrepreneurship.
He's backed Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and a $15-an-hour minimum wage, but pushes back on calls to break up big tech in favor of a more "nuanced" approach. His pet project on dealing with income inequality isn't boosting taxes for the rich — it's traveling to struggling Rust Belt communities in Trump country with venture capitalists from the valley, pushing them to invest.
He has also made an antiwar foreign policy and human rights advocacy a centerpiece of his work, sponsoring legislation to cut off U.S. support for a Saudi-led campaign in Yemen that has caused famine and widespread civilian deaths. The bill passed Congress with bipartisan support, but President Trump vetoed it.
In Khanna's view, independence is rarely punished and usually rewarded. As a Yale law student, he organized a protest of the school's law journal, challenging its editing test as a barrier to entry. Then he didn't join.
"People said, 'Oh, you're going to end your legal career,' and, of course, it made absolutely no difference," Khanna said.
He got the same reaction in 2004 when, as a 27-year-old with no experience in elective office, he ran against longtime Rep. Tom Lantos to protest the San Mateo Democrat's vote in favor of the Iraq War. And again when he ran against Rep. Mike Honda, D-San Jose, unsuccessfully in 2014 and successfully in 2016.
"People said, 'You can't run against a Holocaust survivor — you're going to end your career,' and if anything, Lantos became a mentor," Khanna said. "When I ran against Honda, people said, 'You can't do that — you're going to end your career,' and they were wrong."
Being bold is never a career-ending move, "as long as you're civil and try not to make it personal," Khanna said. "If anything, people respect you more."
Khanna grew up in Philadelphia, the birthplace of what he calls "the American scriptures" written by the nation's founders. The child of middle-class Indian immigrants, Khanna says he was heavily influenced by the local monuments to American democracy. He was also shaped by the experiences of his grandfather, an activist with Gandhi's independence movement in India who was jailed for several years for his work.
Khanna was a top student at the University of Chicago, graduating with a degree in economics. Even then, he would speak of his grandfather, "march to the beat of his own drum" and talk about changing the world, said college and law school friend Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor.
"He's always been an ambitious person who wanted to make some big impact," Mariotti said. "I always presumed that he either had something to do with public service or some other grand path."
Khanna then moved to Silicon Valley. He saw it as a "microcosm" of America and noted the well-established Indian American community — complete with cricket leagues. Khanna worked in intellectual property law and made his challenge to Lantos.
He was walloped, but he impressed powerful Bay Area Democrats including Reps. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and Anna Eshoo of Palo Alto. Five years later, they helped him get an appointment in President Barack Obama's Commerce Department, promoting the U.S. in international trade.
Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi and chair of the California Democratic Party's Women's Caucus, said Khanna helped his cause by promoting the party's interests even after he lost.
"He had a lot of smarts, lot of talent, very good communications skills, a lot of discipline, and he did a lot of networking," Pelosi said. "He was more than just a volunteer who called people up and asked for checks. He asked for ideas."
Eshoo said Khanna was "crushed" emotionally after his loss. She told him it was just a beginning.
Khanna, who calls Eshoo a "true mentor," recalls that her advice was, "Don't go away. Stay involved, stay engaged."
When Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental advocacy, she said, "See, this is why you have to play things out," Khanna said. "Even though he lost the presidency, he didn't give up on public service. And then he arguably achieved something equally significant."
Khanna did run again, challenging Honda in 2014. Backed financially by tech titans, he emphasized his ability to speak to and for Silicon Valley, and lost narrowly. In 2016, he campaigned on more policy than just tech and, aided by an ethics investigation of Honda, won by more than 20 points.
Through 2018, he was still attracting centrist and solidly Republican donors, including D.C. lobbyist Wayne Berman, who is closely tied to President Trump. But his political profile has been strongly progressive, and he's vice chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
At the same time, Khanna's pet cause has taken him to economically distressed places in Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina and South Carolina. Khanna partners with local lawmakers to bring venture capitalists and Silicon Valley representatives to meet with local businesses and universities to form partnerships.
Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., hosted Khanna last year in Flint, Mich., where problems with lead-contaminated water became infamous in 2014.
"There was a moment when Flint was in the spotlight all the time, and we knew that the recovery effort was going to be more than just the government itself stepping up," Kildee said. "We need private investment. ... I think it's more a statement of his values that he understood we really needed help."
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, who helped organize some of the tours, said Khanna has a unique ability to blend progressivism with the benefits of capital investments.
"He's so progressive, but he totally gets the new economy," Ryan said. "There's very few people in the Congress that really understand both."
But Khanna's balancing act of the left and center has others rolling their eyes — though none will go on the record. His critics see a politician with his finger in the wind, believing he ran to Honda's right in 2014 and, when it became more expedient, tacked left.
Khanna even "dual-endorsed," as he puts it, in a 2018 primary race involving a colleague in the House Democratic leadership. Khanna first backed former New York Rep. Joe Crowley, then endorsed Crowley's now-famous challenger, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying he had learned more about her and found her compelling.
Rep. Jared Huffman of San Rafael says he has a good relationship with his fellow Bay Area Democrat. But he knows of colleagues perturbed by Khanna's willingness to help candidates affiliated with the Justice Democrats, a group aligned with Ocasio-Cortez that is targeting incumbents for primary challenges from the left.
"I think it remains kind of an open question for some members: Is he going to be a colleague that we can work with and trust, or is he out to get me?" Huffman said. "We've got some colleagues that are pretty skeptical and nervous about him."
Much like the young disruptors who built Silicon Valley, Khanna speaks the language of risk. He considers the fights he has gotten into "justified." Khanna took on Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., in a Twitter thread, accusing the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman of holding up Khanna's bills because he supported Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal. Pallone's office did not respond to requests for comment.
Khanna also defends endorsing a primary challenger to an antiabortion Illinois colleague, Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski. And he's battling with Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, who runs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, over her move to punish political firms that work with primary challengers to incumbents.
But Khanna says he's also willing to admit a mistake — like when he endorsed the primary opponent of Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., without realizing who she was running against.
Clay said he accepted Khanna's apology. Being willing to own up to a judgment error, he said, "tells you about a person's humanity and their compassion, and he possesses both of those qualities."
"I try to be very civil," Khanna said. "I try to avoid excessive rhetoric, even when criticizing the president. ... And I don't like personalizing things."
Khanna acknowledges that his 2014 race against Honda could have given observers the impression he was more moderate, but says he believes he course-corrected and campaigned as an authentic progressive in 2016.
"Mike Honda and I were competing for independent Republican votes, and you know, there were probably mailers, one or two mailers sent that I regretted sending even two weeks after the campaign," Khanna said, chalking it up to "tactical mistakes" rather than an expression of his values.
Lisa Ferino, a progressive with Indivisible South Bay, said Khanna is "an incredibly mixed bag for a lot of people," though she knows activists who fall on both sides. She wishes Khanna would be more aggressive in attacking Trump and supporting impeachment and would be clearer about what his work with Sanders entails.
"If he does go all in for Bernie ... I don't think he's made it clear to his constituents why that's something that's so important for him to do right now," Ferino said.
Khanna's affiliation with Sanders has some of his Silicon Valley tech benefactors scratching their heads, though he says no donors have pulled their support. Many backed Hillary Clinton and have lingering hard feelings over Sanders' race against her in 2016. Others are apprehensive about Sanders' criticism of wealth and capitalism.
"I think that's taken some people by surprise — (there's a) difference of both substance and style" between the two men, said Carl Guardino, CEO of the business-oriented Silicon Valley Leadership Group.
"Congressman Khanna is very warm," Guardino said. "Even when there are areas of disagreement, he listens and learns and tries to truly hear people out, and Sen. Sanders' style is much more aggressive and dogmatic."
Khanna said his role with Sanders is largely to be a surrogate on the campaign trail. He has pledged not to attack other Democratic candidates.
Christine Pelosi said she believes Khanna could be a bridge-builder between Sanders and the party as the primary campaign plays out. He may have to be, she said.
"That will be his biggest test yet ... but he's up to the challenge," she said.
While his affiliation with Sanders has some suspecting he's interested in higher office, Khanna said he's staying put unless the job gets tiresome. He calls representing Silicon Valley "one of the 10 most important jobs in American politics," and compares it to representing Athens at the peak of ancient Greece.
"It's not for a lack of ambition that I'm shy about doing something else," Khanna said.
He welcomes the suggestion of some close to Silicon Valley donors that they supported him because they recognized something of themselves in him.
"They were forced out of companies or fired because they didn't look the part to be a CEO. They had too different-sounding a name, they didn't have broad shoulders or a square jaw," Khanna said. "I had the same story as a lot of entrepreneurs, where they go all in on something and they're willing to go into debt and have that kind of all-consuming passion on a dream."
In fact, Khanna said one of the "highest compliments" he ever received was from center-right New York Times columnist David Brooks, who called him a political entrepreneur.
"If people said, 'You know, Ro Khanna ... was a real policy entrepreneur, political entrepreneur, who was willing to question orthodoxies, willing to take on challenges, but advanced ideas that really improved the public debate,' I think that would be a success," Khanna said. "Then I want a few concrete achievements. Things that I could say have really impacted the nation or the world."

Have Your Say On Proposed Traffic Lights On Windsor Road At Northmead
Member for Baulkham Hills David Elliott today invited the community to have their say on a proposed set of traffic lights at the intersection of Windsor Road and Anderson Road at Northmead which aim to improve safety on the road.
"In the five years to June 2011, 22 crashes occurred when motorists turning right from Windsor Road into Anderson Road," Mr Elliott said.
"The NSW Government has provided $745,000 from the State Government's Black Spot Program to reduce the number and severity of crashes at the intersection on Windsor Road."
The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has invited the community to have their say by Friday 6 September on the proposed traffic lights which aim to improve safety for all road users.
"The proposed lights would take about three months to build and would be installed near the entry and exit of Northmead Bowling Club and feature new pedestrian crossings, kerb and gutters and the road to be resurfaced," Mr Elliott said.
"RMS also proposes to install a right turn bay on Windsor Road for vehicles turning right into Anderson Road as part of the work.
"The current morning peak contraflow arrangement on Windsor Road would remain in place to keep traffic flowing once the lights are installed."
Residents are invited to view the proposal online and send comments to Maria Swallow, Road Network Leader, Roads and Maritime Services at PO Box 973, Parramatta NSW 2124 or email Maria.Swallow@rms.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 8849 2030 by Friday 6 September.
RMS will notify residents by letter before the proposed work starts.

Greetings to all soccer lovers, from your old friend Robinson Heath stateside. My latest subject under examination is something that no self-respecting soccerist would be without. In fact, here in downtown Illinois, people come up to me at the University of Soccer to ask how your players can go into a match with so little of it compared to American footballers. Well, I'd just advise them to read on.
Among the items of technosoccer equipment utilised by the modern day practitioner of the beautiful game are those two which protect the very raison d'etre of the footballer. Their importance was first made clear to me by that famous English soccer boss, Tommy Manager on his lecture tour of the US of A following his departure as part time assistant coach at Byfleet Rovers. A poor placing in the Kit-E-Kat/Caesar League Junior Division 5 meant that the governing committee reluctantly had to release him from his contract by tearing up the bus ticket that it was written on the back of. As Tommy reminisced, it struck home that the "young boys, coats for goalposts, rolled up newspapers for shinpads", were the very building blocks of the game of soccer. One can only assume that in the early days, the players used the equivalent of tabloids. A copy of the New York Times shoved down your stockings could lead to you taking a stationary position while the action whizzed around you. (Akin to being in David Platt's boots I would guess). However, should you, by same strange happenstance, manage to connect with the ball, it would have all the force of a Babe Ruth slug and would carry the goaltender who got in the way from Iowa to Indiana.
The original shinpads were made from buckskin and spare ribs (collected from the first wave of local ethnic eating places) which were very effective with a tensile factor of 0.84. There was one drawback and that was the fact that when in receipt of a heavy tackle, the ribs broke producing a fearful crack. This, on more than one occasion, masked the sound of the player's tibia snapping into two, leaving them to complete the period of play by hobbling around considering the cost of a new shinpad, oblivious to the fact that their career was hanging in the balance.
Things progressed to the inclusion of steel reinforcing rods to provide greater tensile resistance. Much usage of these rods made them subject to failure due to wet shinpads causing rusting of the steel. A stainless steel version was developed and tested by players of Sheffields Wed. and Uted (sic), but was discontinued after playing Coventry, when the rods were robbed from the pads and melted down to form a 48 piece cutlery set.
Whalebone has always been a popular material as it has good strength (factor 0.79) and flexibility (0.87). The product had became scarce in the 80 's due to extensive campaigning by environmental groups against the practice of whaling. However, in 1994, FIFA decreed that all players must wear shinpads during matches. This seemed to have been instigated by the evil South American Soccer Dictator "Baron" Joe Havealozenge, who, for some completely unconnected reason, seems very keen to stage the 2002 World Cup finals in Japan and also is alleged to head a shinpad manufacturing company in upstate Nagoya. A case for the X-Files maybe?????
Initial tests with carbon-fibre proved unreliable and during matches, the BBC World Service could often be heard emanating from the players hosiery. Representations were made to the PFA by the more hip and swinging players, to campaign for Radio 1FM, but this proved to be beyond the boffins in "Techno-Production" and so the project faltered. The light-weight nature of the pads and the inherent resistance to any force implied made them favourites among the soccer family, but another innovation doomed to fail alongside this was soon to raise it's head.
The rubber-coated shinpad was designed to reflect the energy involved in the challenge, but what resulted was a large number of ligament and tendon injuries to the parties inflicting their tackles on the wearer. Unfortunately, the 'Biter Bit' pads were consigned to the soccer trashcan.
Other variants included lead-lined pads (ideal for protecting Superman from Kryptonite, but you would have needed to be him to run in them), Teflon coated shinpads (designed to have the blow slide harmlessly off, but disadvantageously also meant that defenders socks would not stay up and strikers sped past the unfortunate backman trying to return their hose to their proper position) and Velcro-coated pads (which saw the return of the bucket of water to the trainer's armoury as he threw it over players who had become entangled after a challenge to try and separate them); perhaps it was just as well that none of these developed beyond their early trials and tribulations.
The modern example of this soccer accessory has been developed in the high-tech laboratories of the Dexter Corporation. Exhaustive tests on the one-piece plastic and foam creations produce results which are now measured an the Jones scale as seen at the foot of the page.
These new improvements to the legwear have been seen as a market opportunity for manufacturers and efforts have been made to inform the players of how bodacious they are. Here in the U S of States, one producer paid thousands of US Dollars to the ad men in Madison Avenue to come up with a winning name for their pads. They were quite shocked to find out that although it reflected their fantastic properties, when English buyers arrived they were reduced to tears when they heard that they were called "Brillo". Happily, this matter was soon cleaned up. Further to the award of the 1994 World Cup Series to the USA, one company tried to market protective wear for the exclusive use of the Republic of Ireland. But this venture came to nought when the product name of "Shinpaddys" had Jack Charlton's Green and White Army up in arms.
As the game heads toward the 21st Century, here at the Technosoccer facility, we are constantly striving to come up with the blend of strength and lightness that is the prime requirement by the multitudinous participants of the beautiful game. It is hoped that with the new material of Kellytonium (having the density of two short planks without the width of view) and our recently discovered Millichip technology, it may soon be possible to produce a shinpad that players don't even realise they are wearing. However, they will come with a warning that forgetting to put them on could affect their health.
So, until next time, keep on soccering !!

New Commercial Team to Take Snooker Forward
Snooker - 17 Oct 2002
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association Limited (WPBSA) today confirmed the appointment of World Snooker Enterprises (WSE) as its new commercial management team.
This announcement ends several months of speculation and follows a comprehensive tendering process presented to WPBSA members and overseen by Deloitte & Touche and TLT Solicitors.
Richard Davies, a director of WSE, said 'I would like to thank the WPBSA for conducting a fair and transparent bidding process and for giving us the opportunity to take the sport forward.
'Our personnel have an extensive track record of creating successful commercial partnerships for various sports and we are looking forward to doing the same for snooker.
'We have a vested interest in making sure that snooker has a strong commercial future. We will work tirelessly to make this happen, starting with some positive developments, which we will be announcing over the coming weeks and months.'
A spokesman for the WPBSA said: 'The premise of the winning bid was that the sport remains under the ownership of its members, although the management and commercial affairs will be conducted by the new team.
'This is, in our view, the best solution for the future of the sport and our members. We are pleased that this period of uncertainty has now ended and that the sport can progress to the successful future that the players deserve.'

About Unani System of Medicine
The Unani System of Medicine, as its name suggests, originated in Yūnān - ancient Greece. The Greeks had adopted the initial concepts of Medicine (Ṭibb) from Egypt and Mesopotamia and systematized them. Thereafter, the Romans further advanced these concepts. In the Middle Ages, Medicine traveled to the Arab world, Central Asian countries, and parts of Europe, where it was developed to great heights. In India, the Unani System of Medicine came from Arab and Iran, and flourished tremendously and found here its permanent home. Today, India is the world leader in Unani System of Medicine with the increasing support and funds from the Government of India. The Government of India accorded great importance to the multifaceted development of the Unani System of Medicine as well as other Indian systems of medicine to make their best use in the healthcare delivery system. As a result, education, research, and healthcare in Unani System of Medicine have been developed considerably in the country during the last six decades. Unani System of Medicine forms an integral part of national healthcare delivery structure and owing to the global resurgence of interest in this traditional but time-tested system of medicine, India is making concerted efforts to validate its strengths in scientific parlance and promote the system for global healthcare. The historical background and branches of Unani medicines are given in the flowchart aside.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF UNANI MEDICINE
The remarkable Holism of Unani System of Medicine arises from giving primacy to the Temperament of man and drug, which unlike the molecular level, is simple and can be known as a whole. Its ease of practice arises from the fact that it uses only a few parameters i.e. the primary qualities (Kayfiyāt) of Hot: Cold & Dry: Wet to describe the temperament of both man and drug. Its precision and reproducibility arise from the principle of clinical testing of the drugs hypothesized by Temperament, before accepting them. This clinical testing also reveals effects which cannot be deduced from the temperament or basic qualities of the drug.
The basic principles comprise of:

Discussion in 'Adapted Lenses' started by dixeyk, Jun 11, 2011.
Over the years I have accumulated a number of OM lenses (and bought a few) that I really haven't used all that much. I thought I'd dust them off and see what they could do. So far I have been very pleased with all of them. Today I took my 24/2.8 out for a spin and boy was I blown away.
I'd been chasing an OM 24mm for a while now, even though I'm not exactly short on 24mm legacy lens options. Your examples certainly speak well for it, but they aren't a particularly cheap option.
Well...I think I got this one for around $130. I tend to agree as my ceiling for legacy lenses is usually around $50 so the OM24 is a bit spendy. I have always kind of wanted a Minolta Rokkor 24/2.8 (the one Leica used as the 24/2.8 R lens).
Then again with the results I'm getting...maybe not.
I like the 28/2.8 quite a lot and until I came across the 24/2.8 it was one of my favorite "normal" MF lenses. I've heard the OM 28/3.5 is also quite good although I have never used one so I can't say from experience.

Дом братьев Мартын (Красный домик) — здание в Ростове-на-Дону, расположенное на пересечении Большой Садовой улицы и Крепостного переулка. Дом был построен в 1893 году по проекту архитектора Н. М. Соколова. Первым владельцем здания был британский подданный Иван Романович Мартын. Дом братьев Мартын имеет статус объекта культурного наследия федерального значения.

История

Двухэтажный дом из красного кирпича был сооружён в 1893 году по проекту ростовского архитектора Николая Матвеевича Соколова. Дом построен в духе псевдоготического направления эклектики, в нём сочетаются элементы русского и немецкого зодчества. В угловой части дома выделяется эркер с остроконечной башней.

Вначале зданием владел британский подданный Иван Романович Мартын, затем его жена — П. И. Мартын. Потом дом принадлежал их сыновьям — Василию, Георгию, Ивану. Семье Мартын в Ростове-на-Дону принадлежал литейно-механический завод «Джон Мартын и Ко», располагавшийся рядом с домом. В 1910-х годах Георгий Мартын был консулом США, а в доме братьев Мартын располагалась его приёмная.

В 1920-е годы здание было национализировано. На первом этаже разместились различные учреждения, а на втором — коммунальные квартиры. После Великой Отечественной войны в здании был проведён ремонт, в ходе которого были утрачены слуховые окна на крыше. В 1980-1990-х годах здание занимал Дом художника, там располагались салон-магазин, выставка-вернисаж и антикварный ларёк.

В 2007 году здание было передано на баланс Государственному музею-заповеднику М. А. Шолохова, после чего началась его реставрация. Планируется, что после окончания ремонтных работ в доме братьев Мартын разместится филиал музея.

A selection of 18 plots with an average age of 30 years from our vineyards in Pedrosa de Duero (Burgos). Clay/limestone and sandy soils.
Specially selected and harvested by hand at the beginning of October. When the grapes arrive at the winery, a temperature controlled alcoholic fermentation is started by adding yeast selected from our best vines. This lasts 30 days with daily pump-overs.
Malolactic fermentation is initiated without the addition of bacteria and the temperature of the winery is kept at 20oc for 24 days while controlling the levels of malic and lactic acid.
The wine rests for 12 months in new and also 2 year old 225 litre barrels of French oak.
To the eye it offers a very intense cherry red colour with a purplish border.
On the nose, it is very clean with fresh fruit, balsamic spice and a hint of cedar.

Hello and welcome to Day #1 Premiere of Winnie & Walter's February new release!
I am excited to share this awesome new release for many gorgeous stamp set, dies and stencil from Winnie & Walter. Today we are premiering In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers stamp set, In a Word: Kisses Cutaway and Scenery: Pattern of the Rings Creative Screenings.
I LOVE In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers stamp set. There is solid and outline stamps of various flowers and leaves. These can used individually or layer them. Who does not like floral especially stylised flowers? Plus with watercolour technique being the trend at the moment, the solid floral and leaves images are perfect to stamp using distress inks and watercolour with shading. So many techniques can be used using this stamp set. So very versatile too!
Here is what I did with In Bloom Eva's favorite Flowers stamp set and In a Word: Kisses Cutaway.
I went with simple layered stamping of the flowers and leaves covering the top of the card panel. Simple stamping does not have a technique involved. The trick to make simple stamping technique effective is to choose a bright and striking colour combination and get perfect coverage in stamping. I used MISTI tool to stamp so that I can get even coverage. Then I die cut the panel using the largest dotted rectangle die from Essentials: Katherine's Cutaway. The dot around the panel adds more details. With the sentiment, I die cut In a Word: Kisses Cutaway once from black glitter cardstock and thrice from black cardstock. I stacked and glued them with black glitter die cut on the top. This gives added dimension. I adhered this sentiment on the bottom of the panel. The smaller sentiment is from another new stamp set which will released later this week. I simply stamp the smaller sentiment using black ink. I then mounted this panel on a white card base. I love the white space and the white card base. Hope you like my card using the new stamp set and cutaway. Do you like to win these new goodies? Then head over to Winnie & Walter's Blog for more details to how enter to win these goodies. There are many gorgeous inspirations from designers at Winnie & Walter's Blog.
Make sure to stop by for Day #2 premiere tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Labour face being wiped out in Scotland after the next general election, as a new poll continues to give the Scottish National Party (SNP) a significant lead.
The poll projects Labour would lose 36 out of 40 seats in Scotland, the Lib Dems would be wiped out, and the Tories would lose their solitary seat, while the SNP would gain a massive majority.
The SNP command a 52.5 percent majority according to the poll by Ipsos MORI, with Labour lagging behind at 24.2 percent.
Wednesday's poll, commissioned by Scottish Television, shows a drop in support for all parties except the SNP.
The results will deal a blow to Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, who appears to be failing to win over voters in the post-independence political landscape.
The SNP has seen a surge in popularity following Scotland's independence referendum last September, which saw the pro-Union vote claim victory.
With 92,000 members as of November last year, the SNP have the third largest membership base in the UK after Labour and the Conservatives, according to an openDemocracy report.
This latest survey follows a Survation poll published on Sunday, which suggested SNP support was at 46 percent, while Labour's was 26 percent.
"The SNP aren't going to be the next government, it's a two-horse race between Labour and Tories and unfortunately SNP supporters might, by accident, help David Cameron cling on to power," he added.
This week's opinion surveys follow Murphy's announcement to target 200,000 ex-Labour supporters, who have switched allegiance to SNP since the independence referendum last year.
With both polls forecasting major Labour losses, many will wonder if Murphy has an impossible task on his hands.
Traditionally a Labour heartland, Scotland was a key source of support for the party in the last general election, fielding it with 40 Westminster MPs.
One ex-Labour supporter turned SNP supporter explained his reasons for switching allegiance.
Going by the Twitter handle "MrMulky," the 48 year old said he supported Labour up until 2003, when the Labour government took Britain to war against Iraq.
"But it wasn't until the 2005 election that I could actually vote against them. Their majority dropped by 100 seats in that election," he said.
"Essentially, they have taken the place of Labour in Scotland, because Labour have moved to the right," he added.
To fully understand the extent of Scotland's shift towards the SNP in recent months, it was worth looking at opinion polls from the run up to the last general election in May 2010.
A YouGov poll conducted on 7 January 2010 indicated SNP had 25 percent support, while Labour led with 36 percent and the Tories were in third place with 17 percent.
Labour ended up with 42 percent of the vote in the 2010 election, over twice that of the SNP.
Jim Murphy has a little over three months to replicate this success in the next election. To do so would not just "confound and defeat" the polls, it would also save his party in Westminster.

Q: How to disable VB6 MsgBox from java Code using Jacob I'm using JACOB API to call some Sub from VB macro. I would like to block the MsgBox generated by this macro.
This is my code to open macro XXXX.xls and  run the sub traiteOT who contains some MsgBox.

A: you cannot block the msgbox unless you comment the code that executes the function OR, avoid calling that code in some other way.
If you really had to, you could read the VBA code into a variable, strip out the Msgbox function call, then execute it (using Visual Basic For Applications Extensibility)
better to just write a special function without the MsgBox in the workbook

Army Pfc. Scott G. Barnett, 24, Concord; soldier dies in Iraq
By Bob Pool
His plan was to use his Army experience to jump-start his life.
Pfc. Scott G. Barnett of Concord, Calif., intended to move his wife to Germany, where he was stationed in the Bavarian town of Katterbach. When his tour of duty was over, the 24-year-old hoped to parlay the mechanical training he was receiving with the 412th Aviation Support Battalion, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade into a possible future career back home as a civilian mechanic.
But before he could move his wife, Nikki, to his German base, Barnett's unit packed up in November and was sent to Iraq. A few months later, he learned that his next stop would be Afghanistan. He tried to assure his wife he would be OK.
"I'll find a way not to go," he promised in an entry on his MySpace page. "The Army has kept me away from the ones I love long enough."
Ten days after that terse pledge, Barnett died Jan. 28 in Tallil, Iraq, south of Baghdad. Military officials initially announced that he was killed in combat, dying of "injuries sustained while supporting combat operations." Since then, Army officials have disclosed that Barnett's death is under investigation but is now classified as noncombat-related.
"His mom said he'd mentioned to her that he was going on a mission and was kind of nervous about that," said Nikki, 22. "I wasn't aware of him being in any danger zone. So his death was a shock to me."
She wasn't surprised when Barnett enlisted in the Army last year, however.
"He was having a hard time finding a job in this economy," she said. "He'd thought the Army was something he would enjoy and be good at. He'd taken a liking to welding and working hands-on on things like motorcycles and cars."
Barnett was used to wearing a uniform too. He had been a Boy Scout, earning its highest rank, Eagle Scout, and developing an interest in hiking and the outdoors that became a passion.
Christopher Bates, one of Barnett's teachers in 2003 at Olympia High School in Concord, still keeps a photograph pinned to the bulletin board at his current school in San Leandro that shows the proud teen receiving his Eagle rank.
"The picture shows a kid looking very accomplished. It says, 'See, I can do something with myself.' Scott had a lot of innate talent and intelligence," Bates said.
At Olympia High, Barnett was a member of the Junior ROTC. He was in his military-style ROTC uniform when he first met the girl who became his high school sweetheart and eventually his wife. "We were in math class and he had put tacks in the bottom of his ROTC boots. He tapped them on the floor and made a clicking sound and I started laughing," Nikki said.
The pair hit it off. They shared tastes in music, taking in every Linkin Park concert they could. Barnett introduced her to the Halo video games he enjoyed and impressed her with his love for animals -- he had cats, dogs and ferrets as pets. Nikki, who battled non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as a teenager, took him on cancer fundraising walks. Four years later, in 2008, they were married.
With his first Army paycheck, Barnett bought a used 2001 Honda for his wife and together they started mapping future plans. They decided that their initial step after his military discharge would be to try to buy a house and start a family.
They were making short-term plans for Barnett's anticipated R&R leave home in March or April. For Nikki's April 1 birthday, they talked of taking a trip to Reno. The pair spoke daily via the Internet.
Along with his mother, Lori Barnett of Concord, Barnett had a close relationship with Nikki's mother, Denise Gill-Schilling of Martinez, Calif. Sometimes he would share his nervousness with her days before he would reveal it to his wife.
"Don't tell Nikki, I don't want her to worry about me. I'll come home safe for her," he'd tell his mother-in-law.
"I feel very blessed to have had him in my life," Gill-Schilling said.
About 300 attended a Feb. 8 memorial service for Barnett in Concord before he was buried in a private military ceremony at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon, Calif. His former scoutmaster was among those who eulogized the soldier.
Posthumously awarded Army Commendation and Good Conduct medals were presented to Nikki and Lori Barnett by Army Maj. Gen. Susan Lawrence.
In addition to his wife and mother, Barnett's survivors include his father, Garland Barnett of Washington; and his sister, Bekkie.
"Scott was truly a great man who will be missed more than words can describe," said Chris Jaurigue, a 23-year-old Bay Point, Calif., engraver who relished hiking with Barnett on Mt. Diablo. "He's the best friend I've known in my life. There really is no replacing him."

Russian Woman: In 5 Easy Steps
The reverse may be stated about the word "yes." Russians usually only use the word yes, once they imply to comply with one thing. In Western cultures, particularly American, yes simply means possibly.
Women, on the other hand, continue to face institutionalised gender bias. A public well being campaign in Moscow additionally encouraged males to be "better fathers," concerned of their household and residing healthily. Such policies have additionally promoted Putin's picture as a "caring father." Putin has pushed back the brief sexual liberalization interval of the early Nineties – especially within the mild of Russia's low start fee – in order to promote traditional conservative family values.

That date is important, as even though it's now considered a worldwide event, International Women's Day in Russia was first marked on March 8, 1913, when women demanded the proper to vote via a public demonstration. The Soviet Labor Code of 1922 explicitly banned women from "dangerous" jobs. In 1981, the yr the ruling Communist Party referred to as for the "reinforcement of the standard maternal function," the variety of jobs shut to ladies hit 460. That makes Russia "the nation with the most job-related barriers," according to a September 2015 World Bank report on gender equality. The abortion fee was at about 30 abortions per a thousand women aged 15–44 years – the very best of any country reported in UN data. Additional to Valeria Kotcyur, Ekaterina Okhotnikova and Valeria Shcherbatykh booked women's singles semi-final places. However, there are a selection of very rich Russian girls, a few of whom are self-made billionaires, who've been featured within the Forbes' World Billionaire List again and again.

In 1950, in the age class from 25 to 29 years, sixty eight men were recorded per one hundred ladies within the Soviet Union. In today's Russia, the female-to-male ratio in the same age group reached 952 girls per one thousand males. Using chess24 requires the storage of some private information, as set out below.

She is simply preserving tabs on things to find a way to forestall them from spinning out of control. Yes, maybe she does it in a peculiar means, but this too comes from generations of experience.
Women in Stalinist Russia had been treated slightly in a unique way than these underneath a special president. Women were given decrease degree jobs in some cases to encourage them to stay residence and have extra kids. This could be very clear in the chapter dedicated to family values and the way they affected the girl in the family. This e-book also exhibits the stratification that occurred inside the workplace and the gender differences in how they had been perceived socially.

Your personal determination on which data storage to enable is also stored as necessary information . Fears of gender-based violence can also play a task, as stories of rape and sexual assault even against men in the Russian army are widespread.

In 2006, the Russian military reported 292 deaths associated to dedovshchina alone. In truth, making an attempt to fight hazing was a key issue in the determination to shorten the interval of conscription from two years to one.

How to Estimate Cost for Vinyl Windows

How to Clean Windows With UV Protective Film
Selecting the Proper Windows for Your Home
How to Paint Skylight Vaults
Vinyl-clad windows are typically among the least expensive replacement windows. But even though the average cost of basic vinyl windows is less than that of wood-frame windows, higher-end vinyl windows can be costly. As you're estimating the potential cost of vinyl windows, it's best to begin with an average cost and then identify the aspects of your project that will add to the overall cost.
Average Costs
A 2014 Remodeling Magazine report estimates the average cost for vinyl replacement windows in San Francisco to be $11,220, which is more than 10 percent higher than the average cost in Chicago, where the same windows will cost $10,049. The cost includes the installation of 10 vinyl-clad double-hung windows and necessary exterior trim; the figure assumes that you'll make no changes to the existing interior trim. This average cost should only be a starting point for your estimation, however, because several factors can substantially affect the overall cost of the job. The more windows you install, of course, the higher the overall cost of the project will be, but savings in labor and materials on large projects may decrease the final cost per window.
The type of glass and the number of panes used in your windows will have a significant impact on their price. Windows built with dual-pane conventional glass will usually be the least expensive, while triple-pane windows or windows built with low-emissive glass, which helps to improve the window's efficiency by blocking the transmission of solar energy through the glass, will be more expensive. A single low-e double-hung window may cost well above $1,000.
The average cost estimates also assume that you'll choose standard double-hung windows in standard sizes. Double-hung and single-hung windows feature a sash that opens vertically. Casement windows, which swing open, are more expensive than single-hung windows and comparable in price to double-hung windows. Picture windows and bay or bow windows, since they tend to be larger than other window types, are pricier still. Windows custom built to non-standard shapes or sizes also will be significantly more expensive than windows from a manufacturer's stock catalog.
Feature Upgrades
Most window manufacturers offer a range of price points within their product lines, and stepping up from the low-end of the line to more luxurious products will quickly elevate the total cost of the project. In addition to more efficient glass designs, high-end windows typical feature more durable materials, more energy efficient construction techniques, high-quality finishes, and mechanisms that operate more easily and reliably than those of less expensive windows.

'Europe will be white': Polish leaders sanction massive far-right march in Warsaw (VIDEO)

Government officials have agreed to conduct a joint march with far-right groups on Poland's Independence Day, raising concerns about the legalization of fascist views in Poland. The march has drawn hundreds of thousands.
Since 2009, the celebration of Polish Independence Day has become a rallying point for far-right organizations from all over Europe, some of which openly describe themselves as fascists or Nazis.
This year's event, marking the centenary of Poland's independence, attracted some 200,000 people – more than three times the numbers at last year's march that was dubbed the largest far-right gathering in the world.
The event included explicitly white supremacist symbols and banners with slogans such as "White Europe" and "Refugees get out!" The rally was cited in a European Parliament resolution that encouraged member states to crack down on far-right groups, but the leadership of Poland seem to have other plans.

There was a last-minute attempt by the mayor of Warsaw to ban the march, but a court overturned his decision and allowed the event to go ahead – despite the fact that months of negotiations had failed to result in any agreement on key arguments between the state and representatives of the rally.
The final negotiations took place late on Friday night. The demonstrators were represented by Robert Bakiewicz of the National Radical Camp, an anti-Semitic group that traces its roots to an organization from the 1930s founded on the principles of Italian fascism.
The Polish leadership not only backtracked on its earlier position that the march could only take place if no banners were displayed, but now both the president and prime minister agreed to actually participate in the march.

If this was not enough to worry the citizens of Warsaw, the Polish police are currently on strike, and have stated that they will not be able to provide security for the event.
While the Polish government has struggled with these groups in the past, the country has become a crucible for the European far-right in recent years, and Friday's unprecedented agreements are sure to stoke the flames even more.

IN 30 MINUTES Official Video
By Ian Video
We just launched a new video to brand IN 30 MINUTES across the web! Check it out below, and also be sure to subscribe to the IN 30 MINUTES YouTube channel!
New product line: In 30 Minutes video classes
By Ian Blog, News, Video
Publisher i30 Media is pleased to announce a new product line: In 30 Minutes video classes. We're starting with the Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes video course (For a limited time, available at a 25% discount on Gumroad or available as a video class on Udemy), but will expand to other topics soon. You can learn more about the Google Drive and Docs video here, and we will also distribute the class to other online educational platforms.
The idea for In 30 Minutes video classes has been around almost as long as the book series. Around the same time the ebook and paperback versions of Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes were launched, i30 Media posted a series of short video screencasts on YouTube. They were very popular — one video that shows how to convert a PDF to Microsoft Word or Google Docs has garnered tens of thousands of views. Would people be interested in watching a longer video course about Google's free online office suite? The popularity of the YouTube videos indicated that the answer was probably "yes" … but it would require a lot of work, ranging from writing a script to setting up a studio to shoot the on-screen narrations and screencast demonstrations.
What's inside the Google Drive & Google Docs video class?
Here's an excerpt from the description of Google Drive & Docs In 30 Minutes (video class):
This 30-minute class is narrated by the author of the top-selling guide, Google Drive & Google Docs In 30 Minutes. The course includes lectures on registration, finding and organizing files, creating documents and formatting them, working with Microsoft Word documents in Google Docs, and a complete review of the interfaces for Google Drive and Google Docs on the Web and mobile devices. The tone of this guide is friendly and easy to understand, with lots of step-by-step instructions and examples that show exactly what to do.
In addition to serving as a solid introduction to new users, it's great for people making the transition from Microsoft Office, not to mention teachers using Google Drive for education and Google Docs in the classroom.
Here is the lecture list:
The Google Drive user interface
The Google Docs user interface
Using the Google Drive and Google Docs mobile apps
Formatting in Google Docs
Formatting Microsoft Word files in Google Docs
The Google Drive desktop application for syncing and storage
You can start the lesson on Gumroad for 25% off or watch it on Udemy.
We hope the Google Drive video classes prove as popular as the ebook/paperback versions of the guide. In addition, we will be paying close attention to how people use the course in order to improve the video tutorials and create new instructional videos based on popular topics.

West Midlands UTC builds reputation with Good Ofsted rating
The new West Midlands University Technical College (UTC) has been rated Good by Ofsted following its first official inspection.
Type=image;ImageID=16111;ImageClass=left;ImageTitle=UTC rated Good by Ofsted;TitleClass=strong;
The UTC, based at Springfield Campus in Wolverhampton, has a focus on construction and the application of information and communication technology in the built environment. It opened in September 2015 and welcomes students aged from 14 to 19.
Inspectors found that Principal Avtar Gill, ably supported by senior leaders, has "overseen rapid improvements in behaviour, attendance, teaching and students' progress", while the school has a "distinctive and well planned" curriculum.
Most teaching is very effective, with teachers using their strong subject knowledge to plan appropriate tasks that help students to make good progress. Current students are progressing well in almost all subjects.
Relationships between students and teachers are "strong and respectful", with the former happy to ask questions and try new challenges.
Attendance has improved considerably since the school opened and students behave well. They are mature, confident and articulate, develop key employability skills such as communication and team working, and are very well prepared for the world of work when they leave.
Well planned study programmes in the sixth form, including high quality work experience, ensure that students make good progress, with many moving into the construction and built environment sector when they leave the UTC.
Governors have considerable expertise in many areas and "know the school well, including its many strengths and few weaknesses".
Mr Gill said: "The judgement by Ofsted that we are a 'Good' school with 'Outstanding' personal development and welfare is a testament to the hard work of staff and students and the work related experiences that we are able to provide.
"I would urge any young people going into Year 10 or Sixth Form to give serious consideration to continuing with their studies at this fantastic facility that we are so lucky to have in Wolverhampton."
Councillor Lynne Moran, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, said: "This is a very positive first inspection report for the West Midlands UTC, which demonstrates that it is preparing students well for the world of work, and particularly a career within the construction and built environment.
"I would like to congratulate Avtar Gill, who has provided clear, authoritative leadership since his appointment last year, and who is working well with his leadership team and staff to provide an excellent education to our city's young people."
Some 90% of schools in Wolverhampton are now rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted, more than ever before. To find out more about education in Wolverhampton, please visit Type=articles;Articleid=435;Title=Education & schools;.
Springfield Campus, where the UTC is based, is also home to an Elite Centre for Manufacturing (ECMS) and will be joined by the University of Wolverhampton's School of Architecture and Built Environment, as well as a new national brownfield research centre.
The 12 acre £100m brownfield regeneration of the old Springfield Brewery will create Europe's largest specialist construction and built environment campus, bringing together businesses and the education sector to maximise impact on the local economy.
