My name is Robin Barooah. I'm going to give a talk that I gave at the Quantified Self meetup in Silicon Valley a few months ago, and there were cultural references to the US in that talk. So I want to check how many people here have lived in the United States out of this group. Okay, so getting on for a third, so that will help tailor my talk.
So the first part is a story. I moved to live in the United States about early 2002, and one of the things I found when I arrived was that I was bewildered about what to eat. You know, going to grocery stores or supermarkets none of the brands were the same. Things looked kind of familiar but when I bought them and took them home they had very different flavors. Most of them were a lot sweeter than I was accustomed to from having lived in England which is where I was before living in the states.
Fast food, apart from being, it's actually not as in my opinion it's not fast food nation any more than England is. But the types of fast food and the things that people eat are different. There's a lot of Mexican food in the San Francisco Bay area, so I found myself eating which I call burrito's which are rice heavy kind of wraps quite a lot because that's what the people around me were doing.
And I was working for a startup so I didn't have a lot of time to kind of pay attention to my food. I just had to solve the problem with eating and then get on with the rest of my life. I found myself when I looked in the mirror I think I sort of looked the same as I always have done, and I knew something was changing. But every time I looked in the mirror I couldn't see a really distinct change, so I would just tell myself everything was okay.
This went on for a couple of years, and in early 2004 the social network started to become something I was joining, so I wanted a profile picture taken that I would like and I would feel comfortable with having as my icon in these social networks. So I had someone take photos of me, and the only photo that I felt comfortable with was one with me like lying on my back because my face had like grown in puffiness in size to the point where I just didn't – I was shocked when someone to a photo of me.
A few days later or around that kind of time, a person who had known me for over 10 years made this comment in the lunchroom a the office. He said, "Robin, I used to think of you as a thin guy", and at that point that was actually a shock. At that moment I could no longer remain in denial that I had put on a significant amount of weight.
The problem with denial seemed like an intractable one, so it's a challenging thing to think about losing weight. Diets basically in my view don't work. I don't mean that they don't work for anybody, but the information that I was receiving was like everyone just talks about how diets don't work, and not how it's easy to diet like nobody says it's easy to diet. And I'm not good at things that I don't find easy, I mean that is very much my experience itself. Something has to be right in front of me and easy to do to be able to succeed with it.
So I had this realization which was that up until my move to the United States my body had maintained my weight kind of in conjunction with the choices I was making in my life without me having to think about it. You know there was a working system and it was automatic and it was just something that my body could do. And now I was in a situation where that system had broken down and I looked at this from the perspective of either I'm broken i.e. I've failed and something needs to be fixed here, which I think is quite a common view when people gain weight that something is broken about them.
Whether it's a moral breakage or a physiological breakage, you know I think the lines between those two are blurred. But the alternative view was this is just something I need to learn from that my body can learn to once again regulate my weight in the way that it had done before.
So what I did was think about how I could devise a system that could help me retrain my body to regulate my weight as it had done before. And what I didn't want to do was think very much or do a lot of analysis or in particular stick to a regime, because diets don't work in my mind so you know how would I do any better at making up my own diet; I clearly wouldn't.
So this is the regime, the system that I came up with which was that at lunchtime it tended to be pretty routine because I was working in an office where we had meals provided for us. I would just eat whatever I felt like eating. And then I had an alarm set for three o'clock in the afternoon, and at three in the afternoon I would check-in and ask this question which was, am I feeling energized or am I feeling lethargic, and so that was all I asked myself. I made a note of it for that day only and then I threw away my observation. I just made sure in a very consistent way that I asked myself the question.
What happened was that over the course of about 18 months, the extra 45 pounds that I had gained in my two years in the states gradually came off. It was a very slow to begin with and what I found at the beginning was that I started to gain energy but not lose weight and then at a certain point that shifted and I began to lose weight, and then it got to this 175 pound level and then it just stopped. At this point I was weighing myself about once a week because I found that if I did it more frequently there was just fluctuations, and all those did was make me feel bad or confused so I just did it once a week.
You can see that's 2005, I weighed myself about a month ago just because we happen to move a scale into the house. We don't have a scale in the house anymore, and I was 175 pounds. So you know in my own mind I feel like my body has now learned to once again control and you know moderate my weight as I had done before.
So to me what this says is that one of the parts of collecting data is paying attention and this is a theme which I've heard people actually say it in this conference that wasn't being spoken at the California Quantified Self conference so much a year ago, and the actual act of paying attention even if you don't think about the actual implications, and even if you don't do an analysis on it has an effect somehow on your unconscious, the neural tissue that is in your brain it effects your behavior. That's what I think has clearly happened for me and really that's the takeaway for me for this.

The concept of 'Power Dressing' means something different to everyone. In popular culture, it often rings synonymous with that hefty-shouldered, Working Girl silhouette made famous by Melanie Griffith and on Wall Street circa 1988; and yet, for designers this London Fashion Week, the term told a very different tale. Women, womanhood, femininity and feminism played muse to many an SS19 collection this season, with designers lining up to discuss and interpret the theme's myriad nuances in ways that feel contemporary and relevant to these tumultuous times.
Roksanda Ilincic's battlecry was sounding long before we took to our seats; it ricocheted around the walls of Frida Escobedo's Serpentine Pavilion (the Mexican architect this year made history by being the first woman to single-handedly undertake the commission), and chimed in both melody and message with Nina Simone whose familiar vocals vibrated through the space. Dispensing with archaic preconceptions of what it means to 'power dress', Roksanda relied on soft yet structured tailoring and the ethereally artful gowns and separates for which she is well-known and loved. Her palette was neither showy nor shy, and instead hummed comfortingly with warm russets, savoury pistachios and sweeter inflections of flossy pastels and creamy accents.
"Janis Ian told it very well/ Janis Joplin told it even better/ Billie Holiday even told it even better,/ We always, we always, we always have a story," Nina sang. As for Roksanda? For all of us who bore witness, Ilincic's was a narrative of modern womanhood – individuality, strength, empowerment and occasional fragility. She leafed through the pages of the tales that each and every one of us live with and live out, and recounted them all with empathy and elegance.
Where Roksanda silently entreated us to absorb her collection's motive via sensorial osmosis, Emilia Wickstead was leaving nothing to chance, spelling out her intentions in black and white, plain as day: "A late 1980s feminist fairytale. Women in the foreground." And by God, were they!
Perhaps Emilia was equally as fed up with the somewhat 'society darling' label that is often slapped onto her brand as she has been with issues of gender inequality and imbalance of late, since her authoritative SS19 collection made leaps and bounds to the counter side of both. Between serious collars that splayed out over the wide lapels of two-piece tailoring and exquisitely contoured dresses that each came flanked with a briefcase, this was a runway that meant Business with a capital 'B'.
Far from jeopardising Wickstead's signature romantic oeuvre, which remained in reliable supply, these stronger intonations brought a newly pragmatic layer to the conversation. A "fairytale" this may have been, but it's one for which the roots were grounded in reality.
Earlier in the week, we met with Levi Palmer and Matthew Harding of palmer//harding to preview and discuss their then-upcoming show for SS19. Greeted by a floor-to-ceiling moodboard of complex female protagonists from across film and literature, we listened as the duo spoke of the women who inspire them on a daily basis – driven, executive, informed and rich with life experience. Women of substance.
And so, it was in a similar key to Roksanda and Emilia Wickstead – with whom they, serendipitously, shared the day's schedule – that Levi and Matthew staged a potent runway of dynamic shirting (well, it wouldn't be a palmer//harding show without it!) and double-take construction. Is it a dress? Are they separates? Each mixed message echoed the duality of the woman that the two had taken as their muse for the season. Sure, she has a story... But she's damn well going to tell it how she pleases!
In case you missed it, compare this to what we learned at London Fashion Week Men's earlier this year.

All other Planning Commission members concurred.

(1) Whether the property in question will yield a reasonable return; or whether there can be any beneficial use of the property without the variance.

Mr. Hawk stated in the past they have required lighting for signage to be turned off by 10:00 P.M. Mr. Mitchell stated this situation is different with it being an urgent care center. He added it is important for the public to be aware of the location. Mr. Ryan stated the building is located along the expressway and lighting it isn't affecting residential homes or adjacent businesses. The Planning Commission agreed some of the businesses in this area are open all night. Ms. Hoyt indicated 10:00 P.M. is a reasonable time to turn off the lights. Mr. Burriss stated leaving the lighting on would be consistent with commercial properties on the corner, so he is willing to consider dusk to dawn lighting for the signage. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Hawk agreed. The Planning Commission agreed the application included request for external lighting, so this did not need to be made part of the condition of approval.
Mr. Mitchell made a motion to approve Application #2012-127 as submitted with the following variances:
1) To increase the maximum total square footage of signage on this zoned lot from 58.4 square feet to 58.5 square feet; and
2) To allow for freestanding signage on this property to increase from 24 square feet to 24.5 square feet. Seconded by Mr. Hawk.
Swearing in of Witnesses – Mr. Ryan swore in Deb Walker, Rodger Kessler, and Ray
Rodger Kessler, Kessler Sign Company, stated this would be the exact same sign requested for placement on Route 16. Mr. Ryan asked if there would be an objection to turning the lighting off for this sign at 10:00 P.M. since the business would be closed at that time. Mr. Lynn stated there would not be any objection to turning the lighting off at 10:00 P.M.
a. That special circumstances or conditions exist which are peculiar to the land or structure(s) involved and which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same zoning districts. Mr. Ryan stated TRUE, the building is on a residential street and it faces the highway. He stated the future shows an intersection in this area, which is peculiar with this particular piece of property. Mr. Hawk stated TRUE, there would need to be signage of where the business is located off of Route 16. All other Planning Commission members concurred.
(1) Whether the property in question will yield a reasonable return; or whether there can be any beneficial use of the property without the variance. Mr. Ryan stated TRUE, given the nature of the business it is important to make the public aware of the center's exact location for emergency purposes. All other Planning Commission members concurred.
(2) Whether the variance is substantial. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed the variance is substantial in this case, but justified.
(6) Whether the property owner's predicament feasibly can be obviated through some method other than a variance. Mr. Burriss stated TRUE, the granting of the variance is the most common sense approach to this situation. All other Planning Commission members concurred.
c. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed FALSE.
d. That the granting of the variance will in no other manner adversely affect the health, safety and general welfare of the persons residing or working within the vicinity of the proposed variance, and not diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding areas, and not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, and not unreasonably increase the congestion in public streets. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed FALSE.
e. In granting a variance, the board may impose any requirements or conditions regarding the location, character, and other features of the proposed uses or buildings or structures as the board deems necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Zoning Code, and to satisfy the other conditions set forth in Division (d) of this Section.
1) To increase the maximum total square footage for a freestanding sign in the Community Service District on this zoned lot from 58.5 square feet to 117 square feet; and
2) To increase the maximum number of freestanding signs on this zoned lot from one (1) to two (2) total; and
3) The signage external lighting is to be turned off by 10:00 P.M each evening.
Seconded by Mr. Hawk.
120 Shepardson Court – Coppertree Homes/Josh and Robin Whittington - Application #2012-129
Suburban Residential District-B (SRD-B). The request is for review and approval of a new two-story single family structure, driveway, and rear patio and rear retaining wall.
Swearing in of Witnesses – Mr. Ryan swore in Deb Walker, Josh Whittington, Bob Gardner, and Gillian Jones.
Bob Gardner, Coppertree Homes, stating he is the contractor representing Josh and Robin Whittington. Ms. Walker stated this is actually an application requiring administrative approval due to the zoning, but there is a part in the code that says all new structures require review by the Planning Commission. Ms. Walker stated the applicant meets the SRD requirements in the code. She stated the applicant will be applying for a variance for a maximum building lot coverage increase from 20% to 21.7%. Ms. Walker explained there is an existing variance on file that carries with the property for the height of the structure. Mr. Hawk complimented the applicant on their submittal information. He asked the reason for not extending the board and batten siding on the rear elevation. Mr. Gardner stated this is just as an accent. Mr. Burriss asked Mr. Gardner if the floor plan calls for a fireplace in the great room. Mr. Gardner stated yes and it would be an internal gas fireplace with an external vent located between the double windows.
Gillian Jones, 128 Shepardson Court, asked about the proposed nine foot (9') retaining wall. She stated she was under the impression the limit is six feet (6'). Ms. Walker stated she looked into this and there is a footer that extends down three feet, so the wall at its peak would not be higher than six foot (6'). Ms. Jones stated she has concerns with water run off from the installation of the retaining wall. She stated she wants to ensure there wouldn't be water run off on her driveway. Mr. Gardner explained the plan is for the center of the wall to be higher and it would taper down with the landscaping. Mr. Mitchell stated the applicant is forbidden to put water from their property onto an adjacent property. Ms. Jones stated she is there to ensure this doesn't happen. Ms. Jones stated she would like to speak to the applicant about an oak tree that "leans precariously over her property." She explained it was at one time marked to be removed, but the tree service felt removal would cause damage to her property. Mr. Jones asked if there is any way to mitigate this problem. Mr. Gardner stated they would certainly be willing to speak with Ms. Jones about this further and at this point they have not marked trees that would be removed. She stated perhaps the tree just needs to be trimmed back. Ms. Jones asked about light pollution. Mr. Gardner stated they are proposing no flood lights and lights are to be located at each door. Ms. Jones stated the previous owner used her driveway for access to the lot and she would like to ensure this doesn't happen. She stated she would work with the applicant if access is required. Mr. Gardner stated he did not anticipate using Ms. Jones driveway. He agreed to speak with her further after the meeting. Mr. Gardner asked if an additional curb cut could be sought for a separate driveway from the shared roadway. Ms. Walker stated there is an existing easement in place for the shared driveway and this could be reviewed, but she did not anticipate a problem with an additional curb cut off of Shepardson Drive. Councilmember Johnson stated four homes in this area share the use of the driveway and there is an easement in place.
Kristen Prahan, 467 West Broadway, asked what is the advantage for an additional curb cut/driveway. Mr. Gardner stated for privacy and personal preference. Ms. Prahan stated the shared driveway "has been a bone of contention for many years and doesn't belong to either of the four people living along the road." Ms. Hoyt asked if there is a plan or agreement in place for the maintenance of the road. Ms. Prahan stated no, but there have been attempts to do this over the years. The Planning Commission discussed who owned the road. Ms. Walker stated the road is located on the applicant's property, but there is an easement in place for the other properties to access their properties using the road. Ms. Prahan stated it can be complicated to get four people to maintain the road when they don't own it.

Paul Jacobs, 115 East College Street, stated intoxicated students collect each week around his home at 2:00 A.M. He asked how the University was going to keep students from congregating in this area.

He stated they would ensure the grass is planted up to the edges and the area is pleasing to the eye.

I would just like to add my support to Wayne Graham's comments in Response (14 Jan 07) regarding repeat articles. It is now Wednesday 17th, and apart from Driving Emotion and Response (weekly columns) the last new article was 9 Jan - more than 8 days ago!
Perhaps I am one of the few with a memory who has also read all the back issues, but how about some NEW ONES! (I don't mind a smattering of repeat articles). We have already had 15 days without articles over the Christmas break - fair enough for you guys to have a break - but surely THAT is a great time to automatically schedule repeat articles? By my count, from 18 Dec to 17 Jan there have been a total of 5 'new' articles in a month - Spring Swap, Gear Knob, Direct Petrol Injection and Negative Boost Revisited Parts 1 & 2 (I'd argue that revisiting is not always new material) - and in the past there would have been up to 25!
That's quite a drop in material.
Oh and I am sure I am like many readers who open one of the repeat articles, (adding falsely to the 'popularity' count on the article) and then realise it is a repeat. So perhaps the popularity of the older articles is not as high as the numbers suggest. Can we see some more new articles please, and less of the repeats!
We always have a break in editorial content over Christmas.
In terms of pages viewed, we statistically differentiate those readers coming to AutoSpeed from external sources to those coming from within the AutoSpeed site. These stats show that the repeat articles are very popular with external readers – they help bring new readers to AutoSpeed. Recent articles that have rated very well for external page views include Escorting Power , NSX In Excess , and Grading the GT-R – all repeats.
As noted previously, existing subs were extended to take into account the changed provision of new content. Since the stats on the number of page views, number of unique viewers and reader ratings are all positive, we're unlikely to change the new format.
I am the happy (almost) owner of a 1985 928 Porsche. It runs the Mercedes Benz four-speed auto trans of that era which (as standard) annoyingly takes off from rest in second gear. The only way to make it take off in 1st is to mash your right foot to the firewall to close the kick-down switch. I have a manual push button switch fitted but this has become tedious. What I need is some electronic device/kit that would close the kick-down switch when the car comes to a rest and then re-opens the switch just after the car has moved off. I guess the close and open speeds would have to be adjustable as well as the hysteresis.
Given your magazine's bent for electronic modification – any suggestions? There are a lot of 928 owners out there (seewww.landsharkoz.com) that would love a simple or cheap mod.
If triggered from the speedo input, the Frequency Switch kit (starts at Frequency Switch, Part 1) could be used.

Pune, July 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global loyalty management market size is projected to reach USD 10.02 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.9% during the forecast period. Rising importance of loyalty management during the current COVID-19 pandemic will be a crucial factor driving the market growth, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled "Loyalty Management Market Size, Share and Covid-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Customer Retention, Customer Loyalty, and Channel Loyalty), By Deployment (On-Premise and Cloud), By Enterprise Size (Large Enterprises, Small & Medium Enterprises), By Industry (Banking, Finance, Security and Insurance (BFSI), IT and Telecommunications, Transportation, Retail, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Media & Entertainment, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027".
Viewing the on-going crisis as a lucrative opportunity, companies, brands, and retailers across the board are designing attractive loyalty solutions in the form of discounts, free shipping, and virtual proximity to retain customers.

In the UK, a beer company called BrewDog converted its bars into virtual pubs to maintain visibility and closeness of its brand to its loyal customers. The COVID-19 outbreak, therefore, is generating unique opportunities for businesses to launch novel loyalty programs to retain their customers and attract new ones.

Blending of Loyalty Programs with Artificial Intelligence to Open New Growth Dimension
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technologies related to it are being rapidly adopted in multiple industries to optimize their most essential processes. The domain of loyalty management occupies central place in most sectors, primarily those where customer interface is frequent. Integration of AI with loyalty platforms is one of the top trends in this market as AI aids companies to analyze customer behavior and predict their purchase patterns. This ability of AI also allows businesses to offer personalized products and services to their customers. For example, UK-based HSBC Holdings leveraged AI to offer reward points for customers, aligned with their purchase behavior. Similarly, the US pharmacy franchise, Walgreens, personalizes its offers based on customers' purchase history and also keeps them posted about relevant events and discounts of the company. Increasing adoption of AI by brands to ensure customer loyalty is, thus, expected to fuel the loyalty management market growth in the forthcoming years.

Italian universities lose ground within the international rankings. Our best institutions cannot keep pace with the others in the big planetary match of knowledge production and dissemination. The average data, however, is even more alarming. It is not just about the best universities. The whole system is suffering, and not for a quality issue only: the main problem is about quantities. Countries worldwide are funding more and more education, while Italy less and less, simply meaning that the gap in knowledge between Italy and the rest of the world is increasing. Few data clearly illustrate the situation. First of all, the invested amounts. The OECD report Education at a Glance 2013 shows that Italy invests only 0.9% of the GDP in third level education. A huge difference with the first countries – United States, 2.8%, Canada, 2.7%, South Korea, 2.6%. But we spend less than half the OECD average (2.1%) and 33% less of the European Union average. As clearly highlighted by the European University Association data – see the table below – Italy is at the bottom of the list for university investments among Western European countries (excluding Portugal). Only 109 euros per inhabitant. Seven times less than Norway and Sweden. Three times less than Germany and France. Even worse, year after year Italy is spending less and less, while other countries keep increasing their investments.
From 2008 to 2012, the crisis years, Norway, Sweden and Germany enhanced their investments in high education of more than 20%. France more than 6%. Italy, on the other side, spent 14% less (1,5 billions of euros). No other Western European countries, not even Spain, did the same. All the other nations clearly bet on University for overcoming the crisis. Italy believes that cuts are necessary. And these cuts have produced some effects. Professors have diminished of 22% in the last ten years. Enrolled students to the first year diminished of 17%: from 338,482 in the academic year 2003/2004 to 280,144 in 2012/2013. This is the most worrying data. According to Education at a Glance 2013, in fact, worldwide young graduates are increasing (in absolute and relative terms) and in the OECD countries they represent the 40% of population aged between 25 and 34. Percentages are even higher in some countries. South Korea reached 64% in 2011: an absolute record. Considering that they were at 37% in 2000 and 10% in 1980, we can confidently assert that the growing trend for this country has been truly amazing. But Korea is not just an abnormal fluctuation. It is the tip of the iceberg. In Japan young graduates are 59% of young population, in Canada and Russia the 57%, in the UK the 47%, in France the 43%. In Italy only the 21%. Even though there has been an increase since 2000, when young Italian graduates were only the 11%, our growth is much slower than other countries and it could even stop and becoming a decrease in the next years. What future awaits our youngsters, if the 80% of them will not have a degree? And what future will the country have, if Italian young graduates will be one third of the other developed nations?

Marinas 'closing ranks' after Dorian
Assoc. says hurricane created 'severe dislocation' in the northern Bahamas
NASSAU, BAHAMAS- The Association of Bahamas Marinas (ABM) has been 'closing ranks' in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, according to executive director Basil Smith Basil Smith.
Smith told Eyewitness News Online the deadly storm impacted at least five of its member marinas.
He noted efforts to direct leisure business to other islands as several ABM operators, particularly those in the Abacos, remain closed.
Those include: Treasure Cay Beach Marina and Golf Resort, the Leeward Yacht Club and Marina, the Hope Town Inn and Marina, Bakers Bay Golf and Ocean Club and Abaco Beach Resort and Boat Harbour.
"The Grand Bahama Yacht Club sustained some damage but has been able to get up and running relatively quickly," Smith said.
"Similarly, Old Bahama Bay Resort & Yacht Harbour expects to resume full operation very shortly. While the Abacos and Grand Bahama must be withheld from the product offering while they recover, they are accessible – and usefully so – for boaters who need to access marina-based services."
He continued "To the south of Greater Abaco, the Abaco Club at Winding Bay experienced no or negligible hurricane damage. Both is now operational and receiving electricity from the nearby power station. Similarly, the Grand Bahama Yacht Club is open and Old Bahama Bay will be very soon. Bradford Marine also reported very slight damage and is open and operational now."
In the storm's wake, Smith said ABM mounted an operation to send relief supplies to the devastated islands.
"This was done with the assistance of Bahamas Ferries and a network of well-wishers in the US," he said.
"After initial humanitarian needs were met we began coordinating the shipment of fuel supplies to the islands. We opened, and still maintain a bank account to handle donations for on-going recover efforts.
"The hurricane created severe dislocation in the northern Bahamas. However, the marinas have been recovering fairly quickly, if only to be of assistance in the broader recovery effort taking place around them. Effort is being made to direct leisure business to other islands while recovery takes place."
Smith said: "The association is closing ranks and doing whatever is possible to support those members that were badly damaged, several of which are determined to be represented at the boat shows, if only to reassure their loyal customers that they will back n the game sooner rather than later."
ABM has also run a campaign welcoming boaters to the country's other 14 islands that were unaffected by the monster storm.
"The boating community of south Florida, our primary market, tends to be better informed about the geography of the islands that the average consumer," Smith said.
"The boating/fishing media is also being very helpful in this regard. Our promotional effort, going forward, will emphasize reasons for visiting islands that frequent boating visitors may not have visited before."
Smith underscored ABM's plans to partner with the Bahamas Tourist Office and the Out Island Promotion Board for the upcoming boat show season.
"We will be at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in early November, the Stuart Boat Show in January and the Palm Beach Boat Show in March. Our efforts against the large and superyacht end of the market are also continuing," he added.


This series of posts is inspired by @1990Football, who is tweeting on this day in history about Italia '90.
There might be more teams who have 1990 World Cup songs done, these are all the ones I know.
If you have knowledge of any others drop a line in the comments.
Doing a song for your team at the World Cup still hadn't really took off yet. But there's one country that was ahead of everybody else and already had a number of tunes released. No it wasn't England, it was in fact the….
After their exploits at Euro '88 (Joxer Goes To Stuttgart) and with Jack Charlton at the helm, the whole country was looking forward to Italia '90.

The above two you didn't know. This next one I can say for certain you've never heard either. Or realised this team was also at the 1990 World Cup for that matter.
This was the last time that Yugoslavia would play at a major football tournament.

GET AIRPORTS READY FOR DISASTER (GARD)
Preparedness With GARD
Man is no match for the power of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions or floods. But there is one thing people can do: they can prepare themselves, so that natural disasters do not automatically become humanitarian disasters. The severity of the impact of extreme natural phenomena can increase if communities and infrastructures are not adequately prepared.
Bottlenecks occur often at local airports, which quickly become overwhelmed with the large volume of incoming relief supplies. This can delay or stop the onward transport of life-saving relief goods. This is the focus of our training program Get Airports Ready for Disaster (GARD), which we developed together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2009.
Experienced employees from DHL Aviation train local airport employees and representatives of disaster management authorities free of charge. In workshops lasting several days, they show participants how to rapidly increase the capacity of their airports in the wake of a natural disaster. They also analyze the airport's maximum capacity for processing goods and passengers in the event of an emergency. The airport assessment is later transformed into a comprehensive report. Should a natural disaster occur, the airport is in a position to use its capacities more efficiently. Since 2009, more than 30 airports in 14 countries worldwide have been assessed and received GARD workshops. To deepen the integration of the initial workshop results we developed a refresher course in 2012 called GARD plus, which we piloted at the Beirut airport (Lebanon) the very same year.

We started off at the local thrift stores & we each scored some goodies. I almost bought this coffee table, but it was too long for our space. It would be so lovely all redone.
Yes, those are silver dots on the glasses. Perfection!
Yup, she's a quick learner.
After getting our feet wet, we moved on to the antique stores. Here are some gems that we loved, but didn't buy.
A well set from an old soda shoppe.
Most of the wells even had the original labels on them.
My dear friend, Sarah, in a fabulous blue chair that we found.
The seat opened up for storage!
Days like these are a feast for the eyes. It's so much fun.
Milk glass - 3 pieces total. Goblet, candy dish, & bowl.
Vintage shot glass that I'll use as a candle holder since I don't drink.
A bag of vintage Christmas decorations. Don't they look pretty in the milk glass bowl I bought too?
Vintage spools. I have plans to use these to make some Christmas ornaments.
The poison dart froggy sponge holder. I've been looking for one of these for a long time. When my kids saw it they were kind of scared & had to inform me of it's proper name. I see some glossy spray paint in this chap's future.
Two maps. The major score of the day for me - and they were only .50 each! I've been looking for some maps to start a project that involves a lamp.
Stay tuned for the above makeovers! (Hopefully) Coming Soon.
Looks like you ladies had fun, that's my kind of shopping!
My Mom had one of those vintage table and chairs sets, they are nice!Love your finds! I've been looking and buying all sorts of vintage ornaments too, for a project!Can't wait to see what you do with those spools, and maps!!
I need to go with you sometime too! Count me in on your next thrifting trip. You have a knack for finding awesome stuff.
