Apple Is on the Offensive with Fake Apple Stores
August 6, 2011 By Sovan Mandal 1 Comment
Apple has been maintaining a stoic silence while stories of fake stores mimicking its own were occupying world attention. But not anymore, as Apple has now decided to take matters to hand. Apple's legal cell that is already working overtime with a lot of patent cases that it is currently embroiled in finally seems to be able to divert some of its legal resources towards those who set up shops with almost the same look and feel of original Apple stores. However, while fake Apple stores located in Kunming, China brought the issue to the world table, Apple seems to have decided to begin its crusade against the issue right from its own backyard.
Stores located in New York are expected to be at the receiving end of Apple's ire for the moment and Apple Story Inc. located in Flushing in Queens is among the frontliners. Interestingly, the Apple Story Inc. is very much unlike its Kunming counterparts who have brazenly copied Apple's way of selling ware, but what has irked Apple about the New York store is the way it displays Apple products in cases that look a lot like the iPhone and the iPad.
Among the other defendants in the case include 'XYZ Businesses' with no specific numbers mentioned, a person named Jimmy Kwok along with 50 John Does. There might be others who have also been served notices though the details are not available yet. What the lawsuits relate to is not yet certain as the court has made them available only to the legal counsels of the parties involved.
It's not known either if the fake Kunming based stores are also included in the latest patent infringement cases that Apple has filed. Authorities in China had earlier closed two shops operating out of Kunming on the ground that they lacked official businesses permits, though independent sources maintain there are at least three other such stores still operating with the possibility of many more.

Mary Kenneth Keller (Cleveland, Ohio, 17 de diciembre de 1913- Dubuque, Iowa, 10 de enero de 1985) fue una religiosa católica, pionera informática estadounidense y la primera mujer doctorada en informática en Estados Unidos.  Se doctoró el 7 de junio de 1965, el mismo día que también lo hizo Irving Tang, convirtiéndose ambos en las primeras personas doctoradas en informática en Estados Unidos.  Fue también la primera mujer en acceder a la Universidad de Dartmouth, donde fue codesarrolladora del lenguaje de programación BASIC. Cofundadora de la asociación ASCUE para el uso de ordenadores en la educación, dedicó su vida al desarrollo de la informática y está considerada una de las madres de la tecnología.

Biografía

Nació en Cleveland, Ohio, en 1913 o 1914 según otras fuentes. En 1932 ingresó en la congregación de las Hermanas de la Caridad de la Beata Virgen María (Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) y se ordenó monja en 1940.  Estudió  en la Universidad DePaul en Chicago, donde se licenció en Matemáticas, recibiendo  un Bachelor of Science  y realizó también un Master of Science en Matemática y Física de la citada universidad.

Como estudiante pasó por la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, Purdue, la Universidad de Míchigan y la Universidad de Dartmouth, donde fue pionera en ser admitida. Mary Kenneth solicitó el ingreso en Dartmouth, a pesar de que en 188 años de historia de la universidad nunca se había admitido a ninguna mujer. En 1958 entró a formar parte del laboratorio de Ciencias de la Informática, reservado, hasta ese momento, exclusivamente a varones. Allí participó en el desarrollo del lenguaje de programación BASIC.

Realizó el doctorado en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison su tesis se tituló Inferencia inductiva de patrones generados por computadora realizada en el lenguaje de programación FORTRAN que sigue utilizándose en aplicaciones matemáticas y científicas. En un principio se consideró a Kenneth como la primera persona en obtener un doctorado en informática en Estados Unidos pero investigaciones posteriores señalaron que el mismo día del mismo año, 7 de junio de 1965 también se doctoró Irving Tang. En todo caso es la primera mujer de Estados Unidos doctorada en Informática.

Tras terminar su doctorado, aceptó una oferta para trabajar en la Universidad Clark de Iowa, donde fundó el Departamento de Ciencias de la Informática, que dirigió durante dos décadas. También estableció un programa de maestría para aplicaciones informáticas en educación.

Keller defendía el acceso universal a la información y abogaba por el uso de los ordenadores en la educación, por ello apoyó la creación del ASCUE (Association Suporting Computer Users in Education), asociación para el uso de ordenadores en la educación.

Murió en Dubuque en 1985.

'True Detective' season 3 in development at HBO
BY Ruairi Scott Byrne
After two years off the air, it looks like HBO is bringing back True Detective for a third season.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the show's creator, Nic Pizzolatto, has written at least the first two episodes for a potential third edition of the acclaimed anthology crime drama.
EW also report that Deadwood creator David Milch has been brought on board work alongside Pizzolatto on the new season, which has yet to officially be green-lit by HBO.
The second season of True Detective, which starred Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams, proved polarising with fans and critics following the universal acclaim heaped on the show's debut season.
Much of the reason for the show's disappointing sophomore effort has been credited with the fact that Pizzolatto wrote every single episode of the series on his own - an approach that was described as "insane" by season 2 star Vaughan.
While this may have worked well for the stellar Matthew McConaughey/Woody Harrelson–led season, for which Pizzolatto had been working on for over three years, it proved problematic when HBO demanded a second season little over 14 months after the end of the first.
HBO are clearly learning from their mistakes by bringing Milch on board, but EW stress that the writer-producer of NYPD Blue of is "not expected to serve as the True Detective showrunner."
In a recent interview, Matthew McConaughey revealed he "wouldn't hesitate" reprising his role as Rust Cohle for a third season if it "was written well and it came up again".

Rain and excess water from homes and businesses "known as urban runoff" flow into gutters, down storm drains and through pipelines directly to ponding basins, canals, creeks or rivers. In these basins and waterways, runoff percolates through soil and into groundwater.
The water that goes down storm drains travels directly to our ponding basins untreated. The water carries with it debris and pollutants that are picked up along the way as it flows through residential yards, sidewalks and streets. Not over-fertilizing lawns, not using pesticides excessively, not dumping pollutants in the gutter or down storm drains and being mindful of litter helps keep the storm drain system clean and working properly.
The sewer system should not be confused with the storm drain system. A separate underground network of pipes carries water from the inside of our homes and businesses to a treatment facility. Once the wastewater is cleaned, it is released to groundwater recharge ponds or irrigation canals to be used for saline-tolerant crops, such as alfalfa and cotton.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District has produced a video that details the storm drain system and how residents impact storm water quality. To request a free copy, call (559) 456-3292 or e-mail patrickb@fresnofloodcontrol.org.

The Enguri Dam represents not only a hydroelectric station, but it is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking sights of Georgia. As long as it is located on the main road of the World Cultural Heritage Monument Zemo Svaneti (Upper Svaneti), this place is very attractive to tourists and locals alike.
Soon Engurhesi will get additional function and become a huge tourism center.
The Enguri Dam is a hydroelectric dam is located the Enguri River.
Currently it is the world's second highest concrete arch dam with a height of 271.5 metres.
Georgia will have a very large and multifunctional tourist zone - "Engurhesi" tourist center, which will become a world-class attraction, - The Prime Minister of Georgia stated about it at the presentation of the concept of Engurhesi tourist zone.
While the arch dam is located on the Georgian controlled territory in Upper Svaneti, the power station is located in the Gali District of region Abkhazia of Georgia.
Construction of the Enguri dam began in 1961. The dam became temporarily operational in 1978, and was completed in 1987.
the European Commission granted €9.4 million to Georgia for urgent repairs at the Enguri HES. In total, €116 million loans were granted by the EBRD, the European Union, the Japanese Government, KfW and Government of Georgia. In 2011 The European Investment Bank (EIB) loaned €20 million in order to complete the rehabilitation of the Enguri hydropower plant and to ensure safe water evacuation towards the Black Sea at the Vardnili hydropower cascade.
The facility's arched dam, located in the town of Jvari, was included in the list of cultural heritage of Georgia in 2015.
According to Giorgi Kvirikashvili, this increasingly important project is about to start. There is only one project of this kind in the whole world - Hoover Hydroelectric Station in USA, located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the states of Nevada and Arizona, where tourist complex is arranged as well.
The Head of the Government of Georgia is convinced that, based on its uniqueness, the Engurhesi tourism center will definitely become Georgia's trademark.
"Fortunately, today we have a very special, unique "Engurhesi " building, whose arch dam is the second by its size in the world and therefore, it deserves the status of a monument of industrial and cultural heritage, " - the Prime Minister noted.
According to preliminary estimates, this tourist zone will be quite profitable and will receive 400 thousand tourists annually.
"The fact that Engurhesi is located on the main road of the World Cultural Heritage Monument Zemo Svaneti (Upper Svaneti) gives us the basis to think that the new tourism zone will become a tourism center of regional importance and will have a significant impact on the country's economic development ", - Giorgi Kvirikashvili said.
According to the concept of the tourism center project of Engurhesi, which is the result of joint work of many people and specialists of different fields, tourism infrastructure will be located on 157 hectares.
Cognitive and Discovery Center, the museum-informational space, the rope road, the open concert space, the naval infrastructure, world's highest 280-meter elevator, the tunnels on the Enguri River, and components for the extreme lovers will be arranged in new tourism center.
The implementation strategy for the project was developed in cooperation with the leading European company - "Koko Architecture" and experienced Estonian specialists. Also, the tender was announced for designing, for which the government allocated 2 million GEL.


This winter, the Stamford Fire Department is asking residents and businesses to "adopt" their neighborhood fire hydrant and assure that it is accessible by creating a 3 foot clearance on all sides of the hydrant from snow and other obstructions.
By adopting a hydrant, participants will be helping to protect themselves, their family, and their neighbors. When there is a fire, the fire department must quickly locate and establish a water supply from the closet fire hydrant. If the hydrant is buried, valuable minutes are lost. Most fire engines only carry enough water for the first two minutes of the fire attack, so establishing a water supply quickly is critical.
If you adopt a hydrant, we'd like to know and say thank you by publicly showing the names of all those who are contributing to the safety of their community. Please visit our "Adopt-A-Hydrant" webpage and tell us your name (or your family name / business) and the location of the hydrant you have adopted.

Tolkien Rights and the Amazon Television Deal – some insight
November 15, 2017 at 12:00 pm by greendragon
In a fascinating article, TORn staffer and author Kristin Thompson gives us some invaluable insight into some of the legal wranglings which may have led to this new The Lord of the Rings television series deal:
The announcement that Amazon will be producing a multi-season television series based on The Lord of the Rings has caused much speculation and not a little confusion. One common assumption seems to be that the television rights to the two hobbit novels were sold to United Artists in 1969, when it obtained the production and distribution rights to make film adaptations.

November 15, 2017 at 5:52 am by MrCere
It turns out a "Lord of the Rings" TV series isn't the biggest Tolkien news of the week or the month or the year.
Christopher Tolkien, son and literary heir of J.R.R. Tolkien, resigned from the Tolkien Estate. And his departure changes everything.
Christopher is 93 and just this year edited and published one of his father's works "Beren and Luthien," which as even casual Tolkienites know, refers to his parents with the names of those characters adorning their tombstones.
In the preface of the book he writes, "this is (preemptively) my last book in the long series of editions of my father's writings." It seems he was planning to retire already. Personally, learning the greatest Tolkien scholar, and a man who has honored his father in an exemplary way, has left the care of his father's legacy to others feels like reading the end of LOTR where Galadriel, Elrond and the other great elves leave Middle-earth. There is a keen sadness, but admiration and beauty as well.
But even if you aren't sentimental, he deserves any Tolkien fan's deep respect. But it bears repeating, this changes everything.
The news reached me by friend Michael Martinez via Twitter on his blog. Martinez has an exceptional mind for Tolkien.
He understood perfectly that Christopher R. Tolkien's departure signals the end of an era.
"With Christopher's departure as an officer of the Tolkien Estate (which was incorporated in 2011), the long-awaited "rights frenzy" for Tolkien properties may soon begin," he wrote.
Yes, and it seemingly has already happened. This is a definite piece of the puzzle of the recent news of the Amazon Video deal. I had heard through rock solid, but not reportable sources several years ago that other members of the estate were much more willing to negotiate J.R.R. Tolkien's properties while Christopher was far more interested in preserving legacy than money.
The settlement between Warner Bros. and the Tolkien Estate settled an $80 million lawsuit July 3. Part of the statement the studio released at the time was unusually upbeat for an entity that just paid out big money:
"The parties are pleased that they have amicably resolved this matter and look forward to working together in the future."
The future mentioned in that statement is this week and beyond, and it was obviously in the works then. According to a U.K. government website, Christopher resigned on Aug. 31. One would expect formal resignations of this nature take time to manage legally, so it also was in the works for some time I suspect. What I wouldn't give to have been in the room for that passing of the torch.
So in quick fashion, after the seismic change, the estate has sold the television rights for book "The Lord of the Rings." Warners paid the court dispute so there would be a relationship moving forward and Amazon's Jeff Bezos rewarded both entities handsomely.
Another important thing to note here, and another piece of the puzzle, is that the television rights to "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" were NOT sold when J.R.R. Tolkien sold the movie rights in 1969. Those rights were for motion pictures. TORn staffer and author Kristin Thompson informed our staff about this. She has first-hand documentation and as author of "The Frodo Franchise," knows this stuff as well as anybody. And obviously you can and should buy her book on Amazon.com. I believe another TORn news article is expected on just this point.
This explains why the estate was so involved in the Amazon deal; they were selling something. It also explains why Middle-earth Enterprises was absent from the latest news. (Correction: This originally said Tolkien Enterprises, a name previously used that is not correct. The story has been updated.)
But the bigger ramifications of all this are far greater than a multi-season Amazon series. The new leadership of the estate seem much more willing to deal Tolkien properties than Christopher was and this confirms my well placed sources.
This opens up Tolkien and Middle-earth as possible franchises in the same way that Harry Potter's world is a place you can visit at Universal Studios or that Disney will soon have a Star Wars area. There are few properties in the world that can be talked about in the same way as Middle-earth. Warner Bros. see the value and so does Amazon.
That doesn't mean the Tolkien Estate will move toward making the rights to "Beren And Luthien" available but it does mean my wish to produce "The Silmarillion" as HBO series is slightly less impossible than it was before. That is what has changed really. Things once impossible are now possible.
The estate may elect to only allow more content based solely on "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." Or they may carefully cultivate the entire library.
Because of the depth of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, there is a virtually endless fountain of material. As Martinez points out in his blog, what will be produced is essentially fan fiction. As Disney has expanded the Galaxy far-far away, and HBO is planning its growth of George R.R. Martin's Westeros world, so too could Amazon and Warner Bros expand Middle-earth.
Much of that possibility rests with the estate but just Appendix A in "The Lord of the Rings" offers a wealth of content. The imagination soars with possibilities.
This will no doubt anger many fans and delight many others, as the Amazon deal already has. Some don't want to see the compromise of the author's vision. Funny enough, this also seems to have a whole new batch of fans upset because they don't want Amazon's product to compromise Peter Jackson's vision of Tolkien's vision.
The officers of the Tolkien Estate still count among their numbers Tolkien's youngest child Priscilla Tolkien and other grandchildren in the family.
This is over-long already but a final word on Christopher Tolkien's departure. Here is a man who is a treasure, and who carries in his heart and mind the voice and essence of his father. The significance of his departure cannot be over stated.
I close with another poignant passage he wrote about his father in the preface of his final contribution to the Tolkien legacy, "Beren and Luthien."
"In a letter to me on the subject of my mother, written in the year after her death, which was also the year before his own, he wrote of his overwhelming sense of bereavement, and of his wish to have Luthien inscribed beneath her name on the grave. He returned in that letter … to the origin of the tale of Beren and Luthien in a small woodland glade filled with hemlock flowers near Roos in Yorkshire, where she danced; and he said: 'But the story has gone crooked, and I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos.'
Thank you Christopher Tolkien. We are going to miss you and your strength and determination to contribute to and preserve the legacy of your father.

LOTR TV series: some background and more information
November 4, 2017 at 5:54 pm by Altaira
As is to be expected, the internet, our discussion forums, and comments to our story from yesterday are abuzz with the news broken by Variety magazine yesterday of talks between Warner Brothers and Amazon to make a series adaptation based on J.R.R.

Variety broke the story tonight that Warner Bros. is in talks with Amazon to develop a series based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels! According to Variety, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is personally involved in the negotiations, which are still in the very early stages.

Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes! or What Does the Limited Collector's Edition Portend for the Unheard Music of Middle-earth?
August 26, 2016 at 5:22 am by Earl
Not to sound as alarmist as Fredegar Bolger rousing the Hobbit-folk in the wee hours of a peaceful Shire morning, but perhaps the time has come for fans of Howard Shore's scores to sit up and reconcile themselves to a very dismaying possibility – that the unheard music of Middle-earth might well in fact never be heard.
It's Earl, your soundtrack-obsessed TORn-staffer, and the reason I'm venturing to make this statement is because of the recently announced Limited Collector's Edition of the movies, which makes it almost excruciatingly clear that the Warner Bros studio is so very, very far removed from knowing what fans really, truly want, and are willing to pay for.

Cesar Calle from Florida on his wedding anniversary, gave his wife, Monica Calle, his kidney, so she won't die.
Cesar and Monica Calle celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary on Thursday, and it was more than a wedding anniversary celebration. The couples have 3 children.
The operation was done at the Memorial Regional Hospital's newly opened Transplant Institute, where about 30 nurses, doctors and medical staff performed the surgery on both of them.
Monica who was strapped to a dialysis machine for eight-and-a-half hours every day for more than 2-years was very happy she got a new kidney.
She worked full-time in the same hospital she had her transplant surgery.
Monica inherited her kidney disease from her mother, who was also a transplant recipient.
Cesar and Monica underwent a grueling sequence of tests to determine whether he would be a worthwhile donor.
Institute staff told Cesar that he wasn't just a match with his wife, he was a perfect match.
They both recovered quickly from their surgeries in February. Monica says she feels like a new person. She's already packed up the dialysis machine and can't wait until it's out of her sight.


Farmers put a padded winter clothing on the newly-born calves in a farm in the southern part of South Korea as the cold temperature kept hitting the entire nation as of Dec. 13 (Wednesday), 2017.
On the day the cold temperature plummeted to as low as minus 12 degree Celsius in Seoul and most of the other areas of South Korea recorded sub-zero temperature.
On day earlier on Dec. 12 (Tuesday), 2017, people in Seoul felt as if the temperature was minus 19 degrees Celsius because of the wind chill effects.
In the central part of Chuncheon area, where lots of lakes, are temperature dropped to as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius.
The cold front from Siberia started hitting the entire Korean Peninsular earlier this week.
The sub-zero cold temperature will continue until Dec. 14 (Thursday), 2017, according to Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).


Yes! You saw it right, R O M A N C E With The Environment. Some might be confused about the event, especially on Valentine's Day but but let's go through this idea together. Over the years, planet earth, our home environment has not been treated kindly by the people it houses. From improper dumping to tree felling, oil spillages to bush burning, gas flarings, noise pollution, water mismanagement, and many other problems. Indeed, the environment, our home, has been abused. We have all contributed to this abuse both our large scale and small scale activities. To some, the majority of these activities are done for the economical benefit of man and hence, can not be done without. Although I agree that many of these environmentally damaging activities have benefited the economy, I do believe that there are less environmentally damaging alternatives.
In the spirit of love and Valentine's Day, The Green Campus Initiative Team, her members and other members of society, felt it sincere and right to spend their time with, and 'romance' with the environment on February the 14th, 2016. This was done to show our love for the environment and somewhat compensate the environment for the damages caused by anthropogenic activities, in their own little way.
That was not the only part of the February 14th, Valentines Day event. Partnering with Kingdom Life International Ministry (KLIM) led by Rev. Ken Igbinedion, the ambassadors and other members of society were hosted to an evening picnic at the Adeyemi College of Education Guest House, Ondo , tagged, 'Love Affair'. With spoken word performances by Olayinka Ojo; UN Spoken Word Contest, solo drama performance by Samuel Bliss, choreography by The Chosen Choreographers, and the Green Anthem performance by the Green Ministers, the evening picnic was rich, relaxing and fun.
To crown the activities of the day, the Founder of the Green Campus Initiative, Adenike Akinsémolu gave a short talk, as it was not a day for monologues, about the love for environment and the love of self. A lot of important knowledge was gained from the talk including the importance of seeing every day as environment's day, conserving resources, exercising and practicing self care.
As usual, Green Campus Initiative events are not complete without the smiles of participants during photography sessions. Kudos GCI!

I saw some horrifyingly awful analogies on some thread or other somewhere online and I was inspired to start writing really bad poetry because of them. I hope you are as amused by them as I am sure I will be in the writing.
Here is the first of what, I'm sure, will be many really, really bad poems.
What? The visual of a phlegm covered hairy lip doesn't make you need to jump in the shower again???
Are you telling me my purposeful and mindful attempt at writing really bad poetry, Wulf, is really bad or is it good at being bad?!
Ok. This is bad. I'm moving on.
Someone has been trawling my archives. I felt a furtive presence in my back catalogue.
Shame. I think you'd excel at it!

Q: Proof: If $r \in R$ is irreducible then $ur$ is irreducible where $u$ is a unit. If $r \in R$ is irreducible then $r=ab, a,b \in R$ implies $a$ or $b$ is a unit.
How does one proof $ur$ is irreducible if $u$ is a unit.
I must proof: $ur = mn, m, n\in R$ then $m$ or $n$ is a unit.
Suppose $n$ is a unit, then we are done. However, if $n$ is not a unit, then I can write $r = u^{-1}mn$. This implies $(u^{-1}m) $ is a unit. Hence there exists $(u^{-1}m)^{-1} $ such that
$(u^{-1}m)(u^{-1}m)^{-1}$ = 1 = $(u^{-1}m)^{-1}u^{-1})m)$ and hence $m$ has a left inverse. How do I proof that it has a right inverse equal to $(u^{-1}m)^{-1}u^{-1})\in R$ ?
May I just expand $(u^{-1}m)^{-1} = m^{-1}u$ to conclude $m$ has an inverse ? In the expansion I assume $m^{-1}$ exists ?
/Nicolas

A: Start from $ur = mn$. Then $r = (u^{-1} m) n$. Now either $n$ is a unit, or $u^{-1} m$ is, and thus also $m = u (u^{-1} m)$, as a product of two units.

I just heard on the news that a seven-seater plane has crashed in the desert at Nazca, with no survivors - how awful. The announcer went on to say, a little too quickly it seemed to me, that there had been no damage to the spider, the geograph nearest the crash.
It's easy to imagine how it happened: there are so many sight-seeing planes taking off and landing there all day long, flitting up for a half-hour or so to see eight or ten of these amazing and mysterious shapes in the desert. The pilots are doing alternating wing-stands all the way, so that people on both sides of the plane can get a good view of the ground - either too much enthusiasm or nonchalance could have been the cause; or possibly weather. Flying over desert between the Andes and the ocean, I expect conditions can be tricky and changeable.
>>> My chin is hooked on the window sill and I'm staring up at the daytime moon just off the tip of the wing. Then everything lurches, especially my stomach, and now I'm looking at shapes etched into the brown plain beneath us. There's just time to snap a photo before, augh, here we go again and I'm gazing back up at the moon, my forehead pressed against the cool glass and all my concentration focused on not losing my lunch. In the next seat Chuck, beads of sweat trickling down his face, is doing his best not to live up to his name.
We've come a long way to see the Nazca Lines having heard all about these mysterious drawings in the Peruvian desert, but somehow we missed the bit about the air-sickness pills. This is a shame, because our cheerful pilot Raul is determined that we will all have good views and spends the half-hour banking, circling and standing the plane on alternate wing-tips as we fly over the huge shapes below. It says a lot for the Lines that, even pallid and bilious, we are still astounded by what we see. Stretching across 500 sq km of red-brown plain is a complex network of dead-straight lines, triangles and rectangles that are each several kilometres long. More fantastic, though, are the pictures: we see a monkey with a spiralled tail, a hummingbird, a flamingo with a zigzag neck, a whale, frog and condor, a fat spider and a giant figure waving from a hillside. That they are all instantly recognisable is the most amazing thing of all because they are drawn on such a large scale, each one up to 180m long, that they are impossible to make out at ground level, where the edging lines of rocks went unnoticed for centuries.


I had to wait to post this until I was sure my Mom got her card (she reads my blog - cool huh?).
I really like this saying - its by River City Rubber Works and it really sums up how I feel about motherhood. I worked somewhat difficult and stressful jobs when I was in "Corporate America", but for me - the Mom thing has been the most challenging job I've ever had. Some days I'm just not sure I do it very well, but I keep trying!
For this card, I cut vellum and cream cardstock the same size and stamped the saying on the right side of the vellum in Stazon black. Then I stamped the peony flower in gray on the left side of the cream card and colored it with prismcolor pencils. The peony is part of the Destination Asia set at Rubber Inspirations - I really like the images in this set.
I layered the vellum over the flower image and attached it with a ribbon through 2 punched holes. I matted the cream on some Bazzill green and then on some dark pink Bazzill Bling cardstock. Then mounted the whole thing on a cream card.
Wow, this is pretty Cathrine! Lovely card for your mom!


The Town of Holbrook in conjunction with The Sean Joyce Foundation retained McKenzie Engineering Group, Inc. (MEG) to prepare a master plan for the expansion of the existing athletic fields at South Franklin Street. MEG was also responsible for the preparation of construction plans and documents and construction phase services. The project generally included the design of a natural turf baseball field to include new irrigation, drainage, fencing, dugout areas, clay infield, parking areas and walking paths. The project included the design of a stormwater management system including subsurface drainage below the field to enhance playability and frequency of use.

Lucinda Rogers' East End
Come and see Lucinda Rogers' drawings at The Artists of Spitalfields Life opening at Ben Pentreath Ltd on Wednesday 7th November.
Even before I met her, I always admired this view looking West over Spitalfields by Lucinda Rogers that is framed on the wall of the Golden Heart in Commercial St. It is a large drawing executed in vigorous lines placed with superlative confidence, and filled with subtlety and fluent detail to reward the eye. The pale cloud on the horizon high above the City – illuminating the grey Northern light of a London sky – is a phenomenon that anyone in Spitalfields will recognise. What I especially like about this drawing is that there are so few lines, enough to summon the drawing into existence yet without any superfluous gesture. And although there is no pretence to photographic realism, the vivid spatial quality is such that when you gaze into the deep spaces of the composition it can feel almost vertiginous, especially if you have had a few drinks.
The next work of Lucinda's to impinge upon my consciousness was her portrait of my friend Paul Gardner, the paper bag seller, which hangs up behind the counter in his shop in Commercial St, where his family have traded from the same building since it was built in 1870. Here you see Paul, in his world composed of paper products, at ease behind the counter in a characteristic pose of dreamy contemplation, ever expectant of the next customer to burst through the door demanding paper bags. The crowded symphonic detail of the bags and tags and signs in this masterful portrait manifest the contents of Paul's extraordinary mind, possessing a natural facility to keep to track of all his stock, as well as working out all the prices, discounts for multiples and VAT percentages with ease.
I do not know what I expected when I met Lucinda Rogers for the first time, but I certainly was not prepared for her alluring poise, as she arrived looking chic in a tweed coat with dramatic long straight copper hair, pale skin and a huge ring with a rectangular stone – with an intensity of glamour as if she had stepped from a Jean Luc Godard movie. As we shook hands and I complimented her on her work, she flashed her hazel eyes with a generous smile, and I was momentarily disarmed to realise that she was looking at me with the same shrewd vision which she demonstrates in her elegant work. Once introductions were accomplished, we enjoyed several hours studying this remarkable set of drawings, which exist collectively today as a unique portrait of our neighbourhood as it was in the first decade of this new century.
They were created by Lucinda between 2003 and 2008, for an exhibition at the Prince's Foundation Gallery in Shoreditch and then for a feature in an Italian design magazine, Case da Abitare, as she explained to me, "I was offered an exhibition, so I decided to make it of the East End – because I had only drawn New York up until then – with the focus on Spitalfields and especially on people working. So not really about the buildings, but about recording the things that go on inside the buildings and how they are changing. Not like a photograph, but more about a particular day, your feelings, and what you choose to leave out or leave in to make the picture. You are making something that's less factual and more subjective."
The first drawing Lucinda made was of the B2B building in Usborn St at the bottom of Brick Lane. "The reason I did this drawing was because of the numbers that are cut out of plywood and nailed to the wall to advertise the sound studio where the soundtracks for Bollywood films are recorded. The floor beneath is occupied by the rag trade, the Jewish Monumental Mason is next door, in between is the Italian Coffee Shop, while in the background the Gherkin is being built and in the foreground is an apple core." she told me, enumerating the diverse elements in her picture that coalesce to define the elusive mutable culture of this location, where today an estate agent occupies the property.
The modest aesthetic of these drawings upon tinted paper with just a few touches of colour is dramatically in contrast to their bold compositions and scale. Lucinda's work is closer to cinema than photography, because confronted with the physical presence of the works you cannot resist turning your head to scan the extent of these images."I see the finished drawing in my mind," Lucinda said to me plainly, revealing an imaginative confidence that permits her to work without preparatory drawings, defining the structure of these pictures with her first deftly-placed bold brushstrokes.
Each was completed in a single session on location in the street or in the workplace, contributing to the spontaneity that all these drawings share. The fragile lines that conjure these images out of ether give them tremendous energy and life, whilst also emphasising their diaphanous transient quality of vision. As Lucinda Rogers admitted to me with philosophical smile and a gentle shrug of perplexity, "Everything that I draw changes…"

Arizona State men make early statement
By Ryan Herrington
Three quick observations from this past weekend:
1."I think this could be the best team I've had."
That was what Arizona State men's coach Randy Lein told me Aug. 18 when I interviewed him for Golf World's college preview issue. Sure enough, he looks to have had reason to think that way, as ASU (30-over 870) opened the fall schedule with a two-stroke victory over top-ranked Oklahoma State at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational Sunday. Three Sun Devils finished in the top 20, led by Tristan Bierenbroodspot's T-6 showing.
"There are just a lot of similarities to 12 years ago when we won nationals at the Honors Course," Lein said last month. "The year before, we had like four All-Americans and really no standout stud. just a number of players who played well. We had one senior who played when we won, two juniors a sophomore and a freshman. That could be a similar make up this year."
__2.__The Pepperdine women might only have five players on their current roster, but the five are pretty good. Five days after winning the Golfweek Conference Challenge, the Waves knocked off host New Mexico by seven strokes to claim the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque.
3. For a third year in a row, UNLV men's coach Dwaine Knight is going to have to sweat out having arguably his best player flirting with the PGA Tour. Eddie Olson advanced out of the tour's pre-qualifier this past week in California and will play in the first stage of Q school in October. The senior missed the Rebels start this past weekend's Gene Miranda Invitational, where UNLV finished third behind Colorado State and Utah.
Two years ago Knight had to watch as Seung-Su Han advanced to the final stage of PGA Tour Q-school, only to fail to get a PGA Tour card and decide to stay in college. Last fall, Han was in the same situation, but decided to jump ship.


As well as mothering mushroom, I am also a freelance writer, poet and personal coach. In short, I'm a Storyteller and Story Changer.

I am passionate about working with you to help you achieve your goals.
Whether that goal is weaning your baby, toilet training a toddler, changing career or simply improving your overall confidence levels, I will work with you to find ways that work for you and your family to help you get to where you want be.
What am I like to work with? See what some of my clients have to say.
In 2015, I ran a one-off Working Mums workshop in London. The feedback I got both from those who enquired and those who attended, highlighted that so many parents are trying, and failing, to let go of their ideas around being a perfect parent.
As a result, I wanted to create something that would reach all parents struggling with these issues and this year, the first Proudly Imperfect Parents e-course was born! This course will help you to let go of your grip on what you currently perceive as perfection, and will take you from anxious about not being the perfect parent you thought you wanted to be, to proud of how your imperfect parenting actually works.
The course starts on Monday 22 February and is open for booking now. Find out more and book your place!

After losing the first leg, Cruise Azul Court 1 Tons against Toluca must advance to the semi-finals of 2021
Mexico – Blue Cross Reaching the second stage against the quarterfinals Toluca Against 2-1, but with a distant goal and the lead of the regular phase in their favor.

Our award winning so soft and stretch Bamboo/Organic cotton Terry Prefolds represent economy, versatility and adjustability. These "new age squares" are fantastic especially for newborn babies who tend to wee alot. Prefolds are made with the absorbency layers already sewn in to eliminate the nappy origami of old. We recommend putting one of our universal boosters down the middle to add absorbency as needed.
These newborn Bamboo/Organic Cotton Stretch Terry prefolds have a 2 3 2 layer configeration and measure approx 40 x 36cm wide and fit from birth to approx 7.5kg or 6 months. Absorbent and providing a great fit because of the soft stretcy fabric, these are great for newborns. Extra boosting for absorbency can be added as required with our universal size booster placed down the middle. These boosters are highly recommended as bubs will wee more as they grow rapidly during these early months.
They can also be recycled into absorbency boosters in other nappies when they become too small for your little one. They are also easier to dry and mold to fit the shape of your baby. They are a symbol of sustainablity with economy and a little reminder of the pioneering ways of our mothers (the regular square terry flats) with the luxury of our modern day water saving washing machines that make life easy.
We'll show you how to fold them upon purchase and you will also need a snappi fastener which we sell. A small sized hand-knitted SHP wool cover completes this most natural and simple of all newborn nappy systems.

https://sputniknews.com/us/201902151072470464-active-shooter-reported-illinois-business/
Illinois' Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman confirmed on Friday that five people were killed after a shooter entered the grounds of an Aurora warehouse site. The gunman, identified as Gary Martin, was killed by police.
During a press conference, Ziman revealed that none of the five civilians killed have yet been identified, and that five officers hit by gunfire were airlifted from the scene. A sixth officer was treated for a knee injury.
A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined.
Kendall County officials were first called to the scene at roughly 1:24 p.m. local time. Police from around the area, several medical units and SWAT teams, and the ATF were also on site. Following initial reports of an active shooter, several schools were placed on lockdown, and residents in the area were advised to avoid traveling near the area.
Although Aurora police indicated that they were responding to shooter at the Arlo Steel company at 641 Archer Avenue, reports also indicated a police presence at the Henry Pratt building just south of the Arlo warehouse.
— Aurora (IL) Police (@AuroraPoliceIL) February 15, 2019
Megan Jones, a local reporter for the Beacon News, tweeted that the Aurora police are "requesting as many ambulances as possible for an active shooter with many injuries."
Witness John Probst told local news outlets that that the the gunman worked at the Henry Pratt building and that the shooter had reportedly been employed by the company for some 15 years.
— Megan Jones (@MeganA_Jones) February 15, 2019
The Daily Herald reported that many of the victims were airlifted to the Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.
US President Donald Trump has been informed of the incident. He later tweeted out his condolences to victim and their families.
