Each week brings new jobs, emails, files, and job lists. Just how much of this is totally different from the job you have done before? Odds are, maybe not much. A number of our daily tasks are variants on something we've done hundreds of times before.
Do not reinvent the wheel every single time you start something fresh. Use templates–as starting point for work standardized documents with formatting and text. Once you save another variant of the template, simply add, remove, or change any info for that unique record, and you are going to have the new work.
Programs work everywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management programs, survey programs, and email. Here's how to generate documents from a template — and the way to use templates in your favorite programs –so it's possible to get your ordinary tasks done faster.
Programs take time to build, and it's easy to wonder if they are worth the investment. The short answer: absolutely. Editing a template takes much less time than formatting something. It is the distinction between copying and pasting some text, or retyping it.
That is only one advantage: Using a template means you are less inclined to leave out key info, also. For example, if you need to send freelance authors a contributor arrangement, modifying a standard contract template (rather than writing a new contract each time) ensures you won't depart out the crucial clause about possessing the material once you've paid for this.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. Maybe you send regular job updates to investors or clients. Using a template, you know the update will always have the exact same formatting, layout, and general structure.
Imagine you're creating a template of your resume. You'd want to record in-depth details about your duties and accomplishments, so you are going to have all the information you need to apply for any job.
You can always delete notes on, but you may forget it in the last 25, when it's not in the template.
Some tools will automatically fill in these factors for you (more on this in a little ). But should you need to fill in the data by yourself, add some text that's obvious and easy to look for so you can find text that has to be changed without much work.

Air NZ shares hit 3-month low; earnings downgrade puts tourism under microscope
Air New Zealand shares sank to a three-month low after the national carrier warned annual earnings will drop by as much as 37 percent, with softer tourism and slowing domestic travel restraining revenue growth.
The shares fell as much as 15 percent to $2.80, and were recently at $2.91, down 36 cents in early trading. Air NZ cut its forecast for pre-tax earnings to $340-400 million in the year ending June 30, blaming ongoing issues with the Rolls Royce engines that have disrupted schedules. At the same time, smaller increases in domestic travel and inbound tourism weighed on revenue, prompting schedule adjustments to increase capacity 4 percent for the year, the bottom of its 4-6 percent guidance.
Grant Davies, an investment advisor at Hamilton Hindin Greene, said airlines often experience volatile earnings in a highly competitive international market that can be exacerbated by high capital spending needs.
"You're going to have good years and bad years, but it's hardly dire straits at the moment," he said.
The airline's operating statistics showed a 4.5 percent increase in passengers carried across the group to 1.77 million in December, taking the year-to-date tally to 8.9 million, a gain of 4.3 percent. Its dominant domestic routes reported a 3.2 percent increase in passengers carried to 1.14 million in December, with year-to-date totals up 3.4 percent at 5.76 million.
Long-haul passenger numbers rose 7 percent to 226,000 in December from a year earlier, with the year-to-date tally up 3.5 percent at 1.1 million.
Auckland International Airport's November traffic update showed a 4.1 percent monthly increase in domestic passenger movements to 837,000, with year-to-date passengers up 4.4 percent at 4 million. International passenger movements rose 4.7 percent in November to 888,000, for a year-to-date increase of 4.7 percent to 4.25 million.
Last week, government figures showed almost 386,000 international visitors arrived in New Zealand during November, up 7 percent from a year earlier, for an annual increase of 3.6 percent at 3.85 million. That same month, the accommodation survey showed guest nights were up 3.8 percent from a year earlier at 3.54 million, with domestic stays 4.2 percent higher at 1.8 million and international guest nights up 3.4 percent at 1.73 million.
Davies said Air New Zealand is often a bellwether for tourism-related companies, and he'll be watching to see whether there's any flow-on to other companies.
Hotel and casino operator SkyCity Entertainment Group yesterday upgraded its earnings outlook after its flagship Auckland casino delivered a strong performance, and its international business consisting of high rollers beat expectations. The company's shares hit a two-and-a-half month high yesterday, but were down 1.1 percent at $3.75 in early trading today.
Auckland Airport shares fell 1.6 percent to $7.41 in early trading today, while Tourism Holdings was down 3.1 percent at $4.95. The rental motorhome operator and partner Thor Industries today announced ex-Expedia executive Danny Hest will lead their joint venture, TH2.

{{ToBeEdited}}Dharmashastras (Samskrit : धर्मशास्त्राणि) are the texts that have discussed the dharmas extensively in a comprehensive manner. Unlike the Vedas which have short incidental statements and references to dharmas, these voluminous books deal with socio-economic, moral and judicial aspects in an organized manner drawing their reference from Vedas. They address many aspects unique to Sanatana Dharma such as Samskaras, Shaucha, Prayaschitta, Shraddha, Srtidharma and many others. Apart from Vedas, the Kalpa Sutra works (Dharmasutras), Smrtis, Itihasas and Puranas included under Vaidika Vangmaya have greatly influenced the development of Dharmashastras.
Dharmashastra works are related to the society and are bound to display changes and modifications in the older tradition. The conduct of man has reference to his surroundings as well as to himself. The concept of "two sides of a coin" such as right and wrong, the good and bad, love and hate etc all depend upon the scheme of evolution of the beings and cannot be described independently of that scheme. Thus the determination of what is right or good has to be done carefully for the higher good of existence and not just individuals or a class of beings. Any such judgement has to be in congruity with the general goal of human evolution. Reference to many such details have been supplied to us by the rshis and maharshis, who have not only left the scheme of evolution of our world systems, but also have left to us the general rules for dealing with human, other forms of life as well as inanimate things.<ref name=":022">''Sanatana Dharma : An Advanced Textbook of Hindu Religion and Ethics''.

It is debated by many that such Varna Ashrama dharmas are not existent in other nations and are different. On close observation it can be said that though not expressly recognized, the divisions themselves are to be found everywhere, under other names, in all the races of the present day. The natural conditions of the present evolution unavoidably force upon humanity the relations of teacher and student, ruler and ruled, producer and consumer, master and servant, parent and son or daughter, husband and wife, brother and sister, worker and pensioner, employer and employee, soldier and civilian, agriculturist and tradesman, householder and a recluse and many such other. The Sanatana Dharma, instead of leaving these relations to vague and groping experiments, rationally orders and systematizes them. These dharmashastras teach general and specific duties and virtues proper to each relation and situation, with the injunction that they should never be mixed up together indiscriminately, great is the danger in doing so as said in Bhagavadgita.<ref name=":022" />
श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुण: परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् | स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेय: परधर्मो भयावह: || 35|| (Bhag. Gita. 3.35)
It is indeed better to perform one's natural prescribed dharma, even with faults, than follow the dharma of another perfectly. It is better to die (in the performance of) one's own duty; the follow the path of another as it is fraught with danger.
The words Svadharma and Paradharma have to be carefully evaluated by one and all. Dharma is applicable to our context, situation in life, profession, moral maturity, as the central law of our being. What is right in one situation is not right in another and are relative to the surrounding circumstances, thus different points of view have to be evaluated. For it is said in Daksha Smrti that a person who does not follow Dharma does not have happiness.
धर्महीने कुतः सुखम् । - दक्षस्मृतिः,३/२३

The words Svadharma and Paradharma have to be carefully evaluated by one and all. Dharma as applicable to our context, situation in life, profession, moral maturity, as the central law of our being is the Svadharma. What is right in one situation is not right in another and are relative to the surrounding circumstances, thus different points of view have to be evaluated for they are different based on circumstances and individuals. For it is said in Daksha Smrti that a person who does not follow Dharma does not have happiness.
धर्महीने कुतः सुखम् । - दक्षस्मृतिः,३/२३ (Daks. Smrt. 3.23)

== Texts ==
Kalpa-Vedanga which included the Sutragranthas, Dharmashastras, Smrtis and more lately the Nibandhas (Nirnaya Sindu, Dharma sindhu to name a few) are the four kinds of texts in which the dharmas evolved in the context of codes of conduct and justice. However, there are various versions about what each of these broad texts are and their content.
[[Kalpa Vedanga (कल्पवेदाङ्गम्)|Kalpa Vedanga]] which included the [[Dharmasutras (धर्मसूत्राणि)]], followed by Smrtis, Dharmashastras, more recently the Nibandhas (Nirnayasindhu, Dharmasindhu to name a few are dated works) are the four kinds of texts in which the dharmas evolved in the context of codes of conduct and justice. However, there are various versions about the vidhis of topics in different texts. For example, Baudhayaya recognises 8 kinds of marriage, of which Apastamba mentions only 6 omitting prajapatya and paisacha kinds of marriages. The Itihasas also played a significant role in shaping dharmashastras so as the puranas.
Manu called a Dharmashastra as Smrti.
श्रुतिस्तु वेदो विज्ञेयो धर्मशास्त्रं तु वै स्मृतिः । (Manu. Smrt. 2.10)

Again, there are references where the term "Smrti" is applied to all non-vedic texts including the Vedangas (including the Dharmasutras), Smrti texts (Manusmrti, Yajnavalkya smrti etc) Puranas and Itihasas. In this article, the following terminologies apply.
!Dharmasutras
!Smrtis
|Composed in Sutra style of writing, terse short aphorisms
|Composed in Shloka style of writing
|Language used is archaic
|Language is not archaic, classsic samskrit used
|Part of Kalpa (Vedanga) having intimate connection with the corresponding Grhyasutras
|Smrtis are independent texts without resemblance to any other texts
|Authors do not claim to be of divine origin
|Some smrtis are said to be of divine origin, ascribed to devatas such as Brahma
|Well defined classification of the textual content is not seen
|Many Smrtis arrange their content into 3 principal headings : Aachara, Vyavahara and Prayaschitta
|Sutra literature is traditionally associated with the Veda and even the Veda shakas
|No specific association with vedic texts.

Home › Blog Topics › It's July. Enjoy!
If you've spent any time in front of the television lately, you've probably seen the MasterCard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNjYn6k7vMA] commercial exhorting parents to take "one more day" of vacation. Apparently, "400 million vacation days go unused" by American workers. This most likely doesn't apply to teachers – our work place closes down during strategic times of the year and so we are not present at our work site in the same way others might be. But as any teacher knows, and especially every school librarian, time off doesn't always equate to time off from school. We may be at home but most likely we are taking online courses, creating online courses, fixing our library website, reading books to recommend to students, studying new teaching strategies, cataloging books, participating in PD, creating new lessons or hundreds of other teaching related tasks. Even when we are traveling we often stop at a local bookstore or crafts fair to discover the perfect book or item we can use in our library in some way.
A recent Time Magazine article noted that 61% of employed vacationers participate in work related emailing [38% of their vacation time], chatting with their boss, client, or co-workers [20%] and accessing work documents [32%]. While school librarians may stay connected to their schools, especially during the weeks just after school lets out and the weeks just before school begins, this is still vacation time that deserves our turning our attention to those activities at home and with our families.
So here it is: it is important to take time away from our everyday work, if nothing else: to gain perspective and to connect to other interesting parts of our lives. We spend countless hours helping our students discover their passions and reaching their dreams. It's equally important for us to take the time to dream, and create, and explore those things we love.
Do take a moment now that it's July to be with people who delight you, doing things you love to do and take this time to touch base with all those parts of you that get set aside during a busy school year. Many of us will travel to see family, or explore unknown regions. For some of us, we will find our passion in our gardens, our families and our communities. Day trips to the beach, mountains, or the local park fill our summer with those moments that allow us to re-connect.
Go forth and enjoy! August will be here soon enough….and when we arrive back after taking this time off… we will be rejuvenated and energized, ready to gear up for all the new adventures that school will bring. Rest up. Re-create. Breathe deeply… you deserve it.
‹ Victory for school libraries!

Do you want to be a Freemason?
There are 250,000 Freemasons belonging to 8,000 lodges throughout England and Wales and districts overseas. Worldwide the figure rises to 6,000,000 Freemasons, all with their own special reasons why they enjoy Freemasonry.
For some it is about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it is being able to help deserving causes – making a contribution to family and society.
Click the link to watch some United Grand Lodge of Engald videos that tells you What Freemasonry is all about
Click the link to watch a video of the Grand Secretary Nigel Brown as he answers many of the questions asked about Freemasonry
Every Freemason has his own reason for joining:
"My dad was a Freemason, as was my grandfather, so you could say Masonic life is a tradition in my family."
"My wife and I attended a Ladies Evening and we enjoyed the evening so much I decided I wanted to become a Freemason"
"I was very surprised by how welcoming everyone was, it seemed like I had belonged all my life."
"The long, rich history of the Craft interested me."
"Masonry is a fantastic way to do some good, to help others and make some really good friends."
"Freemasonry has helped build my confidence enabling me to tackle challenges I used to shy away from."
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. For many, its biggest draw is the fact that members come from all walks of life and meet as equals whatever their race, religion or socio-economic position in society.
Its values are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness. Freemasonry does not discriminate on grounds of race, colour, religion, political views or social standing.
Freemasonry provides a unique environment for people from all backgrounds to learn skills, make lasting friendships, achieve their potential and, above all, have fun.
What is more, the organisation provides a valuable forum for discussion between members in an open environment, helping to build trust.
Freemasonry prides itself on its transparency. Not only are Freemasons completely free to acknowledge their membership they are encouraged to do so.
Freemasons make a major contribution to society through their own Masonic charities, as well as through donations to UK charities and worldwide disaster relief funds.
Members play an active role in their communities and all money donated comes from our own efforts, Freemasons do not employ any external fundraisers.
Freemasonry is more relevant and important to society today than ever before, as it encompasses and embraces all the fundamental principles of good citizenship. Many of these are learnt through traditional rituals that take the form of one-act plays, leading to increased self-esteem and confidence.
Every Freemason embarks on his own journey of self-discovery when he enters the organisation. With three levels of Freemasonry, the progress through to senior roles within a lodge can be seen in much the same way as a person progressing in his career – each promotion bringing greater understanding and responsibility.
There are many diverse and personal reasons for joining the Freemasons. To answer any questions you might have about our history, or future, what Freemasons believe in, the kind of work they do or where your nearest lodge is. If you want to find out further information, please contact our membership officer who will be happy to help you.

Junior Rugby (U19 - U13)
Weight/size grading - Australia attempt
Thread starter menace

Interesting to see how this actually is applied. AU/ARU is historically crap at providing and training experts (with no money) so I cant see how the assessment will actually work or be applied consistently. Other than that, as a father of a small kid I like the idea. I cringe when I see some of the man mountain 14yo he's expected to stop!
<img src="http://www.rugbyrefs.com/flags/england.p
Much sympathy for the ARU as they try to address a very difficult problem
If you tell kids they can't play with their friends but must play with the year above, or the year below, I reckon many just won't play
It's a very difficult issue
OB..
, Advises in England
Many years ago when I was living in Washington DC, the Peewee Beltway League for football had weight divisions. A scandal blew up because it turned out at least one coach was feeding the kids diuretics to keep their weight down.
Well it worked for Shane Warne....
crossref said:
It is a tough problem. On the counter my older son gave up playing as #9 at 14 cause he kept getting runover by bearded trucks (ably assisted by poor coaching of forwards that didnt know their job). It wasnt fun for him to be trampled and injured every game and he wasn't going to cop the wrath if his team and just step aside without attempting something.
Fortunately he just concentrated on reffing instead....and is pretty handy for his age.
One system that I read about is that you keep to your age groups , but have two types of competition s .. open, and weight limited
So you would have
U14s (open)
U14s (60kg). (or whatever)
A club would play both types of games .. there might be local leagues, small kids who are good will play in both and get lots of Rugby!
I thought that sounded a clever solution , and if was the RFU i might trial that
Crossref you expect the rugby union to try something that sounds like it might work and keep players at grassroots level? That is wishful thinking or blind optimism.
oldman said:
You prefer world-weary cynicism? :biggrin:
We just don't have the numbers in Australia or out parts for that sort of comp split. With rugby, league, soccer and AFL there's just not enough bodies!
Lee Lifeson-Peart
OB.. said:
That's just taking the piss!
menace said:
Yes , well in trying to solve this we are looking for the solution that attracts the most players.
I think the idea is that you have a squad of twenty boys at the club and the biggest 15 are playing in the open games, and the smaller 15 on the weight limited .. ie most are playing in both ,
So everyone gets to play in games that they are comfortable in
I think the answer is to try different systems in different areas, and see what works best
You could of course have a squad of 20-25 who are all massive so your "lighter team" are still a lot bigger than their opponents.
From my experience I found kids who looked like Brian Blessed at 14 rarely lasted long once their testosterone induced "superiority" was overtaken by their peers' development. The less committed, precocious beardies were off drinking with married women and couldn't get up on a Sunday to cause havoc like they did at 12-13-14 years of age.
Talented, massive kids who stick with it tend to leave "proper Rugby" and end up at schools and in academies that can nurture their attributes and turn them into muscle bound, playing by numbers types leaving the proper game to be played by the rest of us.
None of this helps stop lighter built (or late developers) lads and lasses quitting because it is too much to cope with. If you're getting steamrollered every week at 14 being told to "just wait 'til this time next year" isn't going to help.
Yes, it's a complex issue , and no easy solutions

This is so much a coaching problem. I've refereed many U16 and U18 games where the main point of attack was the big fella with a bit of speed who just barrelled through everyone. No sidestep, no thought of a pass, just run through the opposition, and encouraged by coaches. Yes it gets you the win at age level, buy you're not developing anyone, least of all the big player who will eventually run into people his size of bigger and not have the skills to deal with it.
There has to be a continued focus on youth coaches teaching the skills to play rugby, ball in hand, avoid the tackle rather than seek contact, continuity of play, not kicking the ball away, and sod it if you lose. Wishful thinking I know but wouldn't it be great?
<img src="http://www.rugbyrefs.com/flags/scotland.
Menace - thanks for the thread. I agree with your general principle. My son, 15, is relatively small for his size but is an aggressive 7 who manages to compensate with low body position. Not possible for all playing positions, we also don't have too many giant Scots! It was certainly very apparent at U12-U14.
Lee L-P - You make a valid point but at the expense of the "big fellow" who does not get to develop his / her skills as just batters up the pitch. Perhaps they might not be sticking with the game because their development has been compromised and so cannot play any other way, through no fault of their own. Everyone then loses out.
TigerCraig
Getting worse. Was walking past my clubs ground (which we are not allowed to use yet) to see it covered by young blokes playing gridiron. Not mucking about but fully kitted up playing seriously. Chatted to a couple of them who looked like perfect locks or 8's. Asked why gridiron - "it's physical and you're still allowed to belt people" :frown:
Maybe this system to help small kids that dont play or leave the game in the first place as well as develop big kids will bring them to rugby and leave the other contact sports that they feel they cant compete (league and afl)? Will be interesting to see what happens.


We spoke to April Knell, postnatal doula and founder of Mothering Kind. In our interview, we discuss how she can support new mums, what drew her to become a post natal doula, her advice to new mums and much more.
What drew you to become a post natal doula ?
I first found out about Doulas at NHS antenatal classes, pregnant with my first son. A lovely doula ran the classes, full of energy, smiles and positivity. I was immediately taken by the wonderful concept of doulas and even then excitedly wondered if I could become one one day.
When my first son was born I was utterly in awe of him. I couldn't stop staring at him, it took ages to sink in that I had a son. I felt love like nothing before and was fully in the throws of motherhood. Whilst motherhood was a whole new beautiful world to me I still had the 'What on earth do we do now' after bringing Max home. I read loads whilst pregnant and after, and had my mum on speed dial for all those little questions that boggle your mind in the tired haze of those early weeks and months. I think because of experiences like these doula'ing stayed in the back of my mind and in-fact it was in between having my two sons I started the ball rolling and took the Doula preparation course. The course covered both birth and postnatal however I naturally felt drawn to the postnatal side of the fence. Helping mums in the tired haze, working through the boggling questions and totally appreciating how they're going to feel with their new baby in their arms.
How do you support new mums?
I will always meet mum face to face. It's essential this happens for mum and doula. We'll chat through some background, current family life, and how best can mum be supported. Difference with doulas is we are mum-led and we are there to support mums choices. Help maybe needed to make those choices but ultimately they are mums and still supported unconditionally.
Personally, I try to get the balance between proactively helping yet giving space. Reading a situation and learning what's the best thing I can do for mum. Regular check-ins with mum to make sure the right support is being given at the right time.
What are some situations where a doula can help?
Ultimately, it's helping mum get into her flow and confident of her choices.
Is there a specific area you focus on ?
I cover all areas of the postnatal areas! Whatever mum and families need I'll help with.
What is the challenging of running your own business?
Going self employed has been a massive learning curve for me in lots of ways.
Whilst I'm continually learning I am much more aware of good habits, making the most of your time when you are working, importance of planning, working smarter , feeding the brain and of course self care.
How do you find balance between your work and home life?
I think of spinning plates; keeping the business moving, normal house stuff and making sure I spend time with my two boys. I try to make it clear what I am doing when. So if I am working, I don't then put a wash on. Equally if it's time with the boys then I leave work alone and be present with them.
I like an old school paper diary where I time-block my day and plan my weeks and month.
What is one golden piece of advice for our mums?
I had to think a little longer about this question but I kept coming back to this; comparing. This comes up a lot with mums either comparing themselves or what their baby is or is not doing.
The thing with us humans is we are unique, only one of us. Different characters, personalities. Different style of parenting or family set up. Of course chatting with a friend will help but use it as a guideline and accept things maybe different for you. Learn to trust your instinct. We are get there and motherhood can be tough enough without constant comparing.
April is based in Surrey but covers South West and South East London.

Cathay Pacific Reviews
By FlightsNation · On September 28, 2016
The flag carrier of Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific's main hub and head office is located at Hong Kong International Airport. Cathay Pacific's operations includes scheduled passenger and cargo services to 200 destinations in 52 countries worldwide, codeshares and joint ventures, with a fleet of wide-body aircraft; consisting of Airbus A330 to A350, Boeing 747 and Boeing 777 equipment. Dragonair, its wholly owned subsidiary; operates to 44 destinations in the Asia-Pacific region from its Hong Kong base. In 2010, Cathay Pacific and Dragonair carried nearly twenty-seven million passengers and almost 1.8 million tons of air cargo and mails.
Origins and Ownership
Cathay Pacific was founded on September 24, 1946 by Australian Sydney H Kantzow and American Roy C Farrell. Both men were ex-airforce pilots who had flown The Hump; a route over the Himalayan Mountains. Cathay Pacific made the world's first non-stop transpolar flight, flying over North Pole in 1998, which was also the maiden flight to arrive at the then new Hong Kong International Airport. It celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006; and as of 2009, Its major shareholders are Swire Pacific and Air China. Cathay Pacific is the world's tenth-largest airline measured in terms of sales, and fourteenth-largest measured in terms of market capitalisation. Cathay Pacific became the world's largest cargo airline, along with its main hub: Hong Kong International Airport as the world's busiest airport in terms of cargo traffic, in 2010. Cathay Pacific is a founding member of the Oneworld Alliance and awarded as Airline of the Year by SkyTrax in 2014. Cathay Pacific has won the World's Best Airline award, four times more than any other Airlines.
Generally, passengers from Cathay Pacific seems to be quite pleased with the airline's services, leaving these positive remarks the are posted below:
"A really terrific experience on a long trip. The cabin crew were great, attending to all our needs, promptly and always with a smile. The food was almost restaurant quality. And you'd need to be 3 metres tall to run out of legroom! There's plenty of entertainment on a very modern system to keep you occupied, including USB for charging iPods and the like. And the fully reclining beds made it easy to get some much needed sleep (although they were a bit hard)"
—Blutach (Hampton, Australia)
"Still the one of the best airlines in the world. Cathay Pacific's easy online booking and top of the line fleet, in-flight entertainment and service are excellent. There's a 1 hour delay though but not Cathay Pacific's fault. It's the usual flight delays at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila."
—Leonardo Kirk G (Metro Manila, Philippines)
"Great flying. Very professional and punctual. Announcement of gate number was made way in advance as Hongkong airport is very big and well spread. Leg space ok, and food quite good. The flight personnel very courteous. The checking in personnel very considerate and helpful."
—Smukerji9455 (Thane)
"We flew economy and paid extra for an exit row. The exit row is well worth the extra fee. I booked these tickets through the airline by phone, I am not sure if it is easy to get these seats through an online booking. We had access to the restrooms and aisles without bothering anyone. Also, we were able to stretch out legs. Both flights were clean. The staff is polite, efficient and kind. We were very.happy that we flew with Cathay and we were impressed with the service."
—LaSherm16 (Chicago, Illinois)

Robert Shoemaker's granddaughter Libby takes her sister Priscilla's photo from the cockpit of their granddad's C-47.
If the weather and our Experimentals were always perfect we'd get to our destinations on time, but would miss much along the way. Today's surprise as we wait out the poopy Oshkosh weather in Yankton, South Dakota was the C-47 Virginia Ann that came in for a fuel stop and something of a family reunion.
Now privately owned and kept in Chino, California, the C-47 is part of a great story starting with its WW II pilot, Yankton citizen Robert H. Shoemaker. "Shoey" as he was known to his friends during the war flew this exact aircraft as part of D-Day and Operations Market Garden and Varsity.
After the war Robert raised his family in Yankton and joined the family business. His son Bill and wife Kate Shoemaker still live in Yankton and were joined today by sisters Susan and Barbara, along with many of his grand and great grandchildren, all of whom came from as far as Dallas, Texas to see the Grand Old Lady on its way to AirVenture.
We were able to spend a few minutes with the Shoemakers, and not unexpectedly learned Robert was one of those optimistic, fun-loving greatest generation pilots. "He never really talked much about the war," recalled proud daughter Susan. But the stories he did tell were good ones. Such as taking an airplane without authorization during training, flying home, marrying his straight-laced school-teaching sweetheart and flying back to training.
Or buzzing an English village during the build-up to D-Day and getting caught, then having to wire his mother for money to throw his bail in the English jail. That mom had to dip into her schoolteacher's retirement fund for the money didn't help.
If Robert had an impish sense of humor, he was also wonderfully generous. After the war he earned a law degree and became president of the bus line his dad had started. As a leader in the Yankton community he was one of group who quietly provided housing and education to widows and children. Clearly he provided life-changing opportunities for many people and never sought any recognition or repayment. He was also a factor in founding Yankton's Chan Gurney Municipal Airport where we're staying and was rewarded with a grandson who chose corporate flying for a career.
As for the C-47 Virginia Ann, it served in various corporate and transport roles after WWII. Along the way it gained larger windows, an air stair door and R-2000 engines. Today it cruises at around 145 knots when its private owners are buying the fuel--and maybe a little faster if the 800 gallons fuel capacity has been provided by an airshow where it's been on display. The more muscular R-2000's are a help in the Colorado mountains where it often travels, and the distinctly plusher than stock seats pilfered from a more modern Boeing first class cabin help on the long cross countries.
But Virginia Ann's greatest capability is to remind us of the titanic efforts it was involved in, and the special memories the Shoemaker family keeps alive. If you're headed to AirVenture you can check out the beautifully restored transport in person.


Combine the almond paste with eggs, yolks and sugar and add, when it's hot, the raspberry juice. Whip the egg whites with the sugar, combine the two mixtures and add the flour.
Combine the juice with the gelatine, the meringue and finally the semi-whipped cream.
Whipped the egg whites with the first part of sugar, cook the second part of sugar with water at 121°C and pour it over the egg whites, until a cold mixture is obtained.
Bring the mixture at 65°Brix.
Warm the lemon juice and melt inside the gelatine sheets previously soaked and squeezed; add the neutral gelatine and the sour black cherry pulp.
Place a bottom of raspberry genoise in 4cm rings and go on with wild berry mousse, orange jam, raspberry genoise and wild berry mousse. Put in the blast chiller, glaze and garnish.


7. Madhur Jaffrey - As Marcella is to Italy, so is Madhur to the Indian subcontinent. She also is a great spokesperson for vegetarian, and assorted other Asian cuisines. And she is beautiful. And can act.
I was so excited to see Madhur Jaffrey's name on this list. From the moment I started reading the eloquent words of her memoir, Climbing the Mango Trees , last year...I was lost in a world of Indian food, culture, and delight. Jaffrey has a way with words (read my review here). Inspired and excited by this world of spice and color, I held a Taste of India party that included Jaffrey recipes such as Murgh Korma (Chicken cooked in a Yogurt-Almond sauce), Kaddu (Indian-spiced Pumpkin), Cheese Vali Gobi (Cauliflower w/ Cheese), Phirni (Light Rice Pudding), and Neebu ka Sharbat (limeade). Many of these dishes have become favorites in our house...and honestly I can't pull out a Jaffrey cookbook without making at least three dishes at a time. You may also recognize her for her roles in television shows (such as East Enders, Law & Order, Psych) or movies (Chutney Popcorn, Flawless, Partition, Today's Special). There is so much more to Madhur Jaffrey and I hope you'll check out some of my recommended links (especially her memoir) and get to know her further.
Soak the pearls overnight in water that covers them generously. Drain well the next day and leave in the strainer.
Bring the milk to a boil in a very heavy, medium pan over medium heat. Add pearls and cardamom and stir them in. Adjust the heat so the milk is at a good simmer, but does not threaten to boil over, ~medium-low. Cook for ~50 minutes, stirring the bottom every 5 minutes or so (the milk should not catch at the bottom). Add sugar and stir in. Cook another 5 minutes.
Remove pudding from heat and allow to cool, stirring every now and then to prevent a skin from forming. Remove cardamom seeds and place in large or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface (again with stopping a skin from forming). Refrigerate. It will thicken as it cools.
I love this with the cardamom! I don't know why I like tapioca so much, I'm a texture freak and the texture IS freaky! But I love it. I'm sure I never had it THIS good before though!
I have never had tapioca pearls, but I do love rice pudding. I'll add this to my to do list.
I'm reading her 'Mango memoir' right now ... what a lucious read! This simple tapioca pudding is so perfect! Especially after thinking on all the other more complicated dishes that you mention earlier in the post! Like coming to dessert at the end of a feast... yum!
This certainly looks... interesting! Probably not something I'd make myself, but definitely something I'd try at a restaurant. I used to looove tapioca as a kid!
I have seen Madhur Jaffrey's cooking shows on the television....picked up some really nice tips.
The Pearl kheer looks awesome.
This dessert sounds delightful AND I have all the ingredients in my fridge right now. I've been looking for a more creative way to use up my tapioca, and I think this is it. Thanks!
Hey Heather! Great post and what a fun recipe you chose.
This looks fantastic! I love tapioca and cardamom. What a great combination.
This dish is such a beautiful surprise. I don't know anything about Indian desserts because I never order them in restaurants...I'm always way too stuffed by the end of an Indian meal to even think about dessert. I could eat this all by itself for lunch, though! I love your photos.
What an inviting simple dish to try from Madhur Jaffrey's collection of recipes. I've found her recipes very approachable, and will be trying this one. Thanks for sharing it!
Mmmm...sounds like comfort food. I love your site and can't wait to read more, I'm your latest follower. If you have a moment, I would love it if you stopped by my family's blog. Have a wonderful weekend!
Now this looks wonderful, and I'm not a tapioca fan (texture thing). I did like the Thai basil seeds though. I will for sure look into Madhur Jaffrey. Love your 50 women posts!
Thank you so much for sharing this series on Momtrends Friday Food. I really look forward to your posts each week. Have a terrific weekend and stay cool.
Wow--this dish looks uniquely wonderful!
I have you featured today on the FBF Hop! I have the FBF link up again this week, would love it if you could link up another recipe this weekend!
I totally forgot that you had featured so many of her recipes in that Indian Food Fest a while back! I need to revisit them. Immediately.
And can you imagine how happy I am that I have all the ingredients for this! SO happy.
This has been such a great series and all the recipes are so good!
first time seeing kheer made with tapioca pearls.
My grandmother used to make this and I miss both her and eating this when she made it. Sweet memories though.
Mom makes this often too & its our most fav!!! This looks creamy & luscious!!!
I've got two of her books and need to get that Mango Tree. Beautiful photos Heather.
Madhur Jaffrey's cooking is something I admire as well! This recipe is looking very good and tempting...so I must try out very soon! Great picture!
There's lots of cardamom flavor in this one! I really want to read her latest book. It's been on my wishlist forever.
Climbing the Mango Tree was such a revelation for me - I'd never made any of her recipes before then! I love creamy, milky Indian desserts, so this looks just like my sort of thing!
I need to read the book and I need to make this dish. I cook a lot of Indian - in the winter. Interesting with India so hot, I still associate those spicy meals with winter. The photos look so summery though! Those shiny pearls.
I just arrived back home from golidays without Internet and just had to check out all the wonderful dishes from the group! Delish BBFF!!!!
Oh, I MUST make this! My husband has a thing for tapioca pearls and has been asking me to make something with them. I am a HUGE Madhur Jaffrey fan and anything from her is amazing! Thanks for the great recipe!
I wonder if this tastes like boba tea.

Racism and Discrimination
Inciting Hatred Is Trump's 2020 Game Plan
May 6, 2019, Issue
The attacks on Ilhan Omar are just a foretaste; he will turn with increasing frequency to racism and xenophobia to divide and conquer Democrats.
Donald Trump walks to board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on April 18, 2019. (Reuters / Al Drago)
Donald Trump is not an electoral mastermind. He is something far more dangerous: a persistent political grifter who is desperately, shamelessly determined to maintain his grip on the presidency that he assumed after losing the 2016 popular vote by almost 3 million ballots.
Trump's desperation will intensify as the 2020 election approaches. He will turn with increasing frequency to the playbook of racism and xenophobia that he has employed from the moment four years ago when he crept from reality TV onto the Republican debate stage. Trump confirmed his intentions in mid-April, when he began launching incendiary attacks on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar after she observed, regarding the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, that "some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties."
No one who has paid attention to how Trump plays politics imagines that he sincerely thinks that Omar was slighting the horrors of 9/11. The president is deliberately inciting hatred against one of the first two Muslim women elected to the House as a gambit designed to divide Americans in general and Democrats in particular. Trump's goal is to create enough chaos to maintain his viability as a candidate for reelection. He couldn't care less about the long-term damage that comes from cleaving a country against itself or about the threats to Omar's life that extend from his combustible campaigning.
Trump and his collaborators—trained in the dark arts of electoral exploitation by Steve Bannon and a cabal of right-wing populists—are always on the watch for openings that will rile up the base and divide the critics. They're particularly determined to turn Democrats against one another, as the president attempted to do with his February State of the Union address, which sought to drive a wedge between establishment Democrats and the rising democratic-socialist movement embodied by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Trump was testing 2020 campaign themes when he announced, "Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country." He was doing the same thing when he retweeted a video slyly edited to make Omar appear dismissive of the 9/11 attacks.
Donald Trump Isn't Playing Games With Ilhan Omar—He's Inciting Violence
Honest observers like House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), whose congressional district includes the World Trade Center site, recognized that Trump had "no moral authority" to attack Omar's reference to 9/11. "She characterized it only in passing," said Nadler. "She was talking about discrimination against Muslim Americans. And she just said that, after [9/11] happened, it was used as an excuse for lots of discrimination and for withdrawal of civil liberties." Yet when a president deliberately mischaracterizes the words and intentions of a member of Congress, it has consequences. "I have experienced an increase in direct threats on my life—many directly referencing or replying to the president's video," Omar reported on April 14.
This is the sort of abuse of power that has historically incensed Congress. When Andrew Johnson attacked his congressional critics as "traitors" after they denounced his failure to defend the rights of African Americans in the South during the Reconstruction era, the House voted to impeach him. And the second article of impeachment authorized by the House Judiciary Committee against Richard Nixon highlighted his targeting of political enemies.
Trump's GOP allies may insulate him from accountability these days. But even the most cautious Democrats had better recognize the game that Trump is playing here. He attacked democratic socialists in the hope of provoking internecine strife among the Democrats; he now attacks Omar for the same purpose. He will keep up these attacks because he knows that if he can fracture the opposition to his presidency, the politics of divide and conquer might again prevail. Do. Not. Give. Him. An. Inch.
To Fight Trump, Take to the Streets!

V soboto, 30. marca 2052 se bo na luninem padnem vozlu zgodil popolni Sončev mrk. Sončev mrk nastane, ko Luna prečka črto med Zemljo in Soncem delno ali popolno za opazovalca na Zemlji. Popolni mrk se zgodi, ko je lunin navidezni premer večji kot sončev, kar ovira sončevo svetlobo na Zemljo in spremeni dan v temo. Popolnost se zgodi le na ozkem predelu Zemljine površine, delnost pa se razširja na več tisoč kilometrih.
Pot popolnosti bo prečkala srednjo Mehiko in jugovzhodne države Združenih držav. Delni mrk bodo videli po skoraj celi Severni Ameriki in severnem delu Južne Amerike. To bo 2. popolni mrk, ki bo viden iz Floride in jugozahodne Georgie v zadnjih 7 letih. To bo tudi prvi popolni sončev mrk iz 130. sončevega sarosa v 223 sinodskih mesecih.

Tech improvements create new opportunities for gluten-free bakers
Source: AMF Bakery Systems
By Charlotte Atchley
On the formulating side, gluten-free baked foods are always improving. Formulators are finding new ways to enhance the structure and nutrition of these type of bread. On the processing side, these doughs remain completely different from their conventional counterparts. The difference is suppliers have a better sense of what to expect when a gluten-free baker requests equipment.
"Yes, formulations have certainly improved, but we learned a lot as gluten-free became more mainstream, and now we're able to process gluten-free with confidence," said David Moline, vice-president, sales and marketing, Moline Machinery.
While some gluten-free doughs have begun to take shape more similar to conventional bread doughs, many of them remain batter-like in consistency. These doughs tend to be relatively tacky to work with. Today's equipment helps handle these doughs in a way that maintains their integrity.
"Today, we know how gluten-free doughs have to be handled," said Alex Weissbach, head of technical process management, Rondo, Inc. "Today the requests we see from bakers more and more are for increased production capacity and improved flexibility with better price-performance ratios."
With the help of test centers and teams of experts these bakers can increase their capacity and flexibility while preserving their product quality.
Sticky and delicate
Despite formulation improvements, gluten-free structure remains the critical issue in getting these products to hold up against machining. These doughs (or batters in many cases) need to be handled with care.
"Our flagship divider/rounders aren't capable of processing gluten-free bread products, and the reason for that is without the gluten, it's almost a thick cake batter," said Jon Cabral, marketing director, Erika Record Baking Equipment. "That forces you to pivot. The equipment you're used to isn't going to work very well or at all for gluten-free products."
This requires bakers and equipment suppliers to think outside the box when looking at automating the gluten-free process. Bakers can use a depositor or extruder — or even sheeting and laminating — instead of a ram-and-shear divider.
"If the product is a true flowable batter, then piston-style batter depositors work very well, provided the correct nozzle for the depositor is selected to work with the sticky gluten-free batter," said Rod Gregg, vice-president, sales, Hinds-Bock Corp.
Some gluten-free formulations have evolved to have a more dough-like consistency, allowing them to be processed on more traditional bread-forming equipment. These dough-like formulations contain film-forming ingredients that mimic the gluten network, noted Jay Fernandez, bakery innovation center manager, The Middleby Corp.
"Dough-like gluten-free formulas can vary greatly," he said. "All will have more water than traditional breads and buns, so it's important that we work closely with the customer and test."
John Giacoio, vice-president, sales, Rheon USA, said as the gluten-free bread industry began to grow, the company didn't even realize it had anything to offer these customers.
"Bakers began asking us if we had this capability, but they weren't coming to us for our traditional bread equipment," he said. "They were actually looking at our co-extrusion equipment."
Whatever system is being used, it's critical that the equipment handle the dough gently and have ways to keep the dough from sticking.
Rheon's co-extrusion equipment was built with sticky applications in mind: caramels and nougats for the candy industry as well as mochi ice cream. This capability to form sticky materials into accurate balls and logs made it a good fit for gluten-free doughs, too.
"It just lends itself perfectly to these sticky, wet doughs that don't have a lot of structure," Mr. Giacoio said.
A co-extruder typically is designed to create a filled product, but in the case of gluten-free buns and rolls, Rheon's machine does not add filling — just more dough. The nozzle's diameter and settings can be changed to make rolls, hamburger buns or hot dog buns. The shutter that cuts the dough piece is made from a UHMW plastic, suitable for a sticky product. The shutter motion — designed to seal in a filling — is very effective at creating a perfect ball or tube shape.
AMF Bakery Systems developed a simple, continuous style direct-deposit dough divider to handle slack doughs like gluten-free. The company's BreadFlex D3 Divider uses a low shear proprietary vane style metering pump to gently and accurately scale the dough.
For depositing, another common way to shape and divide gluten-free doughs, it's important that the dough is pulled gently and consistently through the pump.
"The quality of gluten-free baked goods has improved over time in terms of offering the customer a better eating experience and product characteristics," said Cesar Zelaya, bakery sales and technology manager, Handtmann, Inc. "This is raising the bar for processing equipment. It needs to handle the dough gentler without changing the texture and other desired characteristics on the finished product."
Handtmann offers a series of dividers and depositors designed to minimize the handling of doughs or batters with that intention of preserving their integrity.
Erika Record's depositing solution features intermediate gears to create a consistent flow through the nozzle head.
Sheeters and laminators come with their own challenges in handling these doughs gently. For example, the falling heights associated with these processes can damage the dough, more so for delicate gluten-free than stronger doughs.
"On a sheeting line, the dough has to go through a gauging station, and the dough sheet hangs through the falling height," said Nick Magistrelli, vice-president, sales, Rademaker USA. "It's important to remain cognizant of those falling heights because a short, sticky dough like gluten-free wants to hang on rollers and belts, that affects the processing and product quality."
Rademaker has designed its reduction components in a way that keeps these falling heights to a minimum.
When gluten-free dough is sheeted, Mr. Moline said that a dough sheet tension monitoring system will become a must-have rather than an optional feature.
"On a traditional artisan bread or flatbread system, it's not necessary because the dough strength is there," he said.
A monitoring system ensures the dough is properly sheeted without breaking the sheet.
He also suggested that gluten-free doughs would benefit from having more sheeting stations with less reduction at each station. This creates a gentler sheeting experience for the dough.
Becoming flexible
The category is always growing and bakers are trying to meet that demand; for some, this means automating for the first time.
"At the beginning, it didn't necessarily warrant the investment for an automated line," Mr. Moline said. "Now we're seeing demand has grown to the point where fully automated systems are starting to make a lot more sense."
For others, it could be increasing throughput on an existing line or expanding into new products. This demands more automation, efficiency and flexibility.
"In addition to efficiency, many gluten-free bakers are looking to expand their range," said John McIsaac, vice-president of strategic business development, Reiser. "We are seeing more gluten-free applications for specialty rolls, sweet goods and bagels."
Vemag depositors from Reiser are designed to improve efficiency and enhance a line's flexibility. Weight control and accurate scaling prevent wasting or giving away expensive ingredients.
"Tight scaling is becoming even more critical in a more competitive environment," Mr. McIsaac explained. Reiser has turned its focus to Vemag attachments and Vemag double-screws to enable bakers to expand their offerings.
"One base Vemag with several different attachments can process a wide range of gluten-free products such as breads, buns, bagels, cookies, muffins and more in single or multiple lanes," said Ron Mullins, director, national bakery accounts, Reiser.
AMF's BreadFlex D3 Divider has quick change nozzles to allow operators to quickly change from small to large products or products requiring a profile extrusion.
By using a confectionery depositor, bakers can create a wider variety of gluten-free products than just bread. Erika Record's depositor's touchscreen recipe programming makes it easy to select the appropriate product, and the equipment enables operators to swap out attachments quickly and easily for different production needs. With one machine, bakers can make gluten-free bread, cookies, cakes and a variety of other products.
"We like to offer a well-rounded solution," Mr. Cabral said. "If you're a gluten-free-only bakery, then we can help with not just bread but also all of the other products you're trying to adapt to gluten-free as well."
As bakers expect their gluten-free business to grow, it's important that the equipment they invest in keeps up with demand.
"Bakers expect us to design and build the new production lines to meet today's requirement but also thinking ahead and being able to easily increase capacity and have the option to add new production without much retooling and capital expenditure," Mr. Zelaya said.
Handtmann equipped its new VF800 series dough dividers to be able to increase throughput at anytime with just the release of a software code.
"This allows us to make the equipment more affordable today for those bakers who don't need the extra capacity right away, but they have the option to upgrade and increase capacity in the future without having to replace the equipment," he explained.

I AM THIS LAND: Interview with Julie Zeilinger of The FBomb.org
This is cross-posted with permission from b-side chat
Breakthrough's I AM THIS LAND contest, now calling on people to make a video on diversity to celebrate our differences and win prizes, also wants to share the important work our partners are doing to uplift diversity. Read our interview with Julie Zeilinger, founder of The FBomb.org, a blog/community created for teenage girls who care about their rights as women and want to be heard. Julie is also a judge for the I AM THIS LAND contest. Deadline is January 7, 2011!
b-listed: What has your experience as a young feminist been with issues of diversity in America?
photo courtesy of Julie Zeilinger
Julie: Through submissions I've posted on the FBomb, I've had the opportunity to hear from teen girls (and guys!) from all across the country. While each submission has been unique, there seems to be a common thread: while there is still a lot of ignorance in our country about diversity and its importance, this ignorance isn't an unsolvable problem. Education and raising awareness goes a long way. This is something I have found in my own life, as well. A big reason why people may discriminate against others or make disparaging jokes is often because they just don't understand what they're doing. When you really try to explain to somebody what diversity is and why it's important - rather than just writing that person off as a lost cause or the "bad guy" - you can make a big impact.
b-listed: We spoke with you last in April 2010. (http://blisted.breakthrough.tv/b-side-chats-interview-with-julie-zeilinger-teenage-editor-of-top-feminist-blog-the-fbomb-8792) Have there been any specific changes at F-Bomb since our last interview?
Julie: Since that interview, the FBomb has begun to receive way more submissions. I only write once or twice a week now and the blog is primarily written by its readers, which I think is fantastic. The readership has also grown considerably. Apart from that, though, I think everything else still stands.
b-listed: Do you think there is enough talk regarding diversity issues and race relations in the US?
Julie: I think that there is always room for more discussion on the topic of diversity, especially considering that it seems when these discussions are brought up, they're very general and rarely result in real action. Instead of having vague conversations about how our country should be more accepting, individual institutions and groups need to start having these discussions. For example, I would love it if my school - and schools across the country - would start thinking more about diversity, even if it's just on the level of in history class examining how a certain historical event affected both genders and people of different races and classes.
b-listed: We've noticed diverse writers featured on F-bomb. How do different voices contribute to your blog?
Julie: The cool thing about the submissions on the FBomb is that they come completely from the writer's perspective and is there because of their own initiative and desire to share their opinions. I don't seek anybody out to write and I don't edit for content (only for clarity and grammar). Everything that you read on the FBomb is the direct experience of the person who wrote the post. I think this is so important because whereas on other blogs you may get to know one blogger or a handful of bloggers, and their opinions on certain topics, really well, on the FBomb you are able to see a much wider perspective. What you read on the FBomb is really representative of the thoughts of our generation as a whole.
b-listed: You are one of the judges for our I AM THIS LAND contest. What are your thoughts on the concept behind this initiative?
Julie: I love the fact that the I AM THIS LAND contest approaches the issues of diversity through video. It seems to me that the way we talk about diversity has become so streamlined and predictable - I'm glad that this contest has decided to shake that structure up. I think it will make people take notice. I also love that this contest is conceptually focusing on the positive aspects of diversity rather than focusing on how our country is failing. I think it's always better to frame things positively.
b-listed: Are you going to continue F-bomb when you go to college?
Julie: I'm still not sure what my role in running the FBomb will be when I'm in college, but it will definitely continue to exist just as it does now.
b-listed: What has surprised you most since you started writing F-bomb? Good or bad.
Julie: I always suspected that there were other people my age out there who identified as feminist and yearned for a feminist community where they could share their ideas, but I think I definitely underestimated the size of such an audience. I would've been happy if 10 other teens decided to read the FBomb and now thousands have. I think it just shows that feminism is not dead and that there are a lot of teens out there who are passionate about the cause.
b-listed: How would you complete this: I am this land because….
Julie: I am this land because I put my heart into being the change I want to see around me and fundamentally believe that everybody has the right to live freely.
