Bats and Ghosts and Pumpkins, Oh My!
I started out with my basic pieces and laid them out on the card base.
I then inked the edges of all the pieces so the white edges wouldn't show.
After all the pieces were adhered to the base, I started adding the embellishments.
Love the gauze ghost. And those Diamond Dew Drops make great eyes!
I cut out some webs from the Spiderweb cardstock and added some more Dew Drops.
A dangling bat with some Connie's Crystals adds some real dimension.
...and a black one to the black bat side.
Thanks to Connie's Crystals for partnering up with The Robin's Nest this month. They have some wonderful crystals on their site. I urge you to check them out!
Hope you all are enjoying creating your Halloween projects! I know I am!
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a.....BIKE?
Today's challenge on Fantabulous Cricut is to use some kind of transportation on your project. Since I've been on the go so much lately, I thought I'd slow it down a little and decided a bike would fit the bill. I chose to do a card (I know, shocker!) and opted for "Thinking of You".
I selected the bike and frame from Heritage, and the grass if from Paper Dolls for Every Day. I opted to cut the bike twice from two different colors so I could blend them together to get a two-tone bicycle.
Once they were cut, I weeded out the images and "spliced" the two bikes together.
For the sentiment on both the front and the inside, I used the Jubilee cartridge and chose to use the amazing magnetic pen holder from Cri-Kits. These are very easy to use. The holder is placed in the machine instead of the blade housing. The pens just "snap" right in and are held in place with the magnet located on each pen.
This is how the Cri-Kit pen holder looks when properly placed.
I set the "cut" to two times to insure I got a good coverage with the pen.
I love the twinkly letters!! I simply cut the images to fit the placement on my card.
I used a marker to color the window chipboard from Gina's Designs.
I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background and added some Flower Soft in Delphinium Blue to fill the bicycle basket with flowers.
I love the background and how quaint the flowers look in the basket.
The sentiment just pops with the Cri-Kits glittery gel pens. A little bit of twine finishes off the frame.
The inside of the card is simple, yet provides a nice finish to the card.
I hope you are inspired to play along with us over at FCCB. I also hope you check out Cri-Kits and the wonderful pen holders. They are a great addition to your Cricut.
Well, the wedding was beautiful, and despite all the hiccups with the setup and decorating, everything came out fine and the happy couple are on their honeymoon. And we can all rest easy now.
The challenge this week over at FCCB is to use vinyl with some ABCs and 123s. Vinyl is SO easy to work with. It cuts so nicely and, if you take your time, your projects will come out great!
(I discovered just how difficult it is to take a photo of a glass project. Wow!) Anyhow, I love how the clear glass will enable this piece to match any wall color the couple chooses. Their theme was kind of a lovebirds thing...bare trees and birds were prevalent throughout. So I chose images to reflect that theme and am very happy with out it turned out.
I chose a frame from Michaels.
I then laid out my images and text using the Cricut Craft Room. I used Gypsy Wanderings, Home Decor and Cricut Basic Font cartridges. a 12x24 Cricut mat and, of course, vinyl from cricketvinylsupplies.com.
When I have a large area to work with, I cut it into sections and work with one section at a time.
Once I have the background removed, I start weeding out the other areas in between the letters.
After all the vinyl has been weeded, it is ready to be placed on the project.
The transfer film is placed on the image and burnished so that it will easily remove from the backing paper.
Image is on the transfer paper and ready to be placed on the project.
Once the images have been placed, it is burnished again, then the transfer film is removed, slowly, while keeping it close to the project base. Note how the film is only held an inch or so above the glass.
It's time to announce the winner of last week's FCCB Blog Hop!
"Very nice project....love the message, too.
How lovely of you to offer blog candy! I am a brand-new follower by Google Blogger. Yippee!!!"
Congratulations, Janice! I will be contacting you!
Until next time, keepin' it crafty!
I'm back again to share with you an adorable Halloween step card. These cards are so darn much fun to make!!! And with the AWESOME Halloween papers from The Robin's Nest, how can you go wrong?? Just LOOK!!
I started out with a step card base (Silhouette Design #397733)using the Purple Crackle Glitter Cardstock from The Robin's Nest.
I then cut out the haunted house (Silhouette Design #13333) using some amazing purple glitter cardstock from TRN. I cut out a second image with plain yellow cardstock (minus the windows)to highlight the details.
I used the Boo Words cardstock and a circle punch to cut out my "boo" moon and adhered that and the adorable cheesecloth ghost. Notice the wobble in the moon!
I hope you take the time to check out these awesome papers (links below). For a limited time, you can save 20% on select stock! I'm feeling the Halloween spirit and can't wait to get started on my next project!

Trump Meets With Apple CEO at White House to Talk Trade
President Trump has had a fraught relationship with the electronics company, criticizing Apple on Twitter over its decision not to cooperate with law enforcement on breaching its phone encryption
By Ken Thomas	• Published at 7:54 am on April 25, 2018

President Donald Trump met Wednesday with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the White House to discuss trade as he engages in negotiations around the globe.
Trump tweeted before the meeting that they would be "talking about many things, including how the U.S. has been treated unfairly for many years, by many countries, on trade."
The president met with Cook in the Oval Office a day after the leader of the technology giant attended Trump's state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron.
Trump has had a fraught relationship with the electronics company, criticizing Apple Inc. on Twitter over its decision not to cooperate with law enforcement on breaching its phone encryption and over the size of the screens on iPhones. But Trump has praised the Cupertino, California-based company's planned investment in the U.S. after the passage of last year's tax cuts.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the primary focus of the meeting was trade. Cook also met with White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is expected to travel to China soon for trade talks as both countries have proposed tariffs of $50 billion on the other's products. Trump has said he's looking to impose tariffs of up to $100 billion more on Chinese goods.
The administration is also engaged in negotiations with Canada and Mexico on a revised form of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Trump assailed during his 2016 Republican campaign.

Former Pres. Jimmy Carter hospitized, will undergo procedure to relieve pressure on the brain
ATLANTA, GA. (WRBL)–Former President Jimmy Carter has been admitted to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
The former president was admitted to the hospital Monday evening due to pressure on the brain. He will undergo a procedure Tuesday morning to relieve the pressure, which is being cause by bleeding due to recent falls, according to a tweet from the Carter Center.
The Carter Center says Former President Carter is resting comfortably and his wife, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, is with him.
Carter was released from the hospital on Oct. 24 after suffering a fall at his home in which he fractured his pelvis.
It was the third time Carter fell in recent months. He first fell in the spring and required hip replacement surgery. Carter fell again Oct. 6 and despite receiving 14 stitches, traveled the same day to Nashville, Tennessee, to rally volunteers and, later, to help build a Habitat for Humanity home.

FORTY FORT, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) - Some merchandise being sold by a top state elected official is turning heads. Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman shard a sneak-peak into t-shirts with wording that's striking a nerve.
After the Lt. Governor announced he's considering running for the U.S. Senate, he decided to create some new merchandise for his possible new campaign. It highlights how rare he believes election fraud is here in Pennsylvania.

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Nearly three years since the disappearance of Sister Angela Miller, her family and the Catholic community are seeking closure.
State law requires a person to be missing for seven years before they are declared dead. In this case, the family and Miller's fellow sisters are hoping a judge will bring closure much sooner.
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU-TV) — Education workers are among the next group outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Health to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Once administered, many school districts will weigh their options about when — and if — they will return to in-person learning this year.
One district in Lackawanna County could soon make that decision in the next week, with or without the vaccine. In the Scranton School District, officals are taking a different approach.

Three migrant workers were found dead, and another one is in a coma, following an accident inside an underground tank at a fishery products processing factory in the eastern county of Yeongdeok on Tuesday, local fire authorities said.
The four -- three Thais and one Vietnamese -- were found at the bottom of the tank at 2:30 p.m., according to the North Gyeongsang Province Fire Service Headquarters.
(Yonhap)
The workers, whose names have yet to be made public, are believed to have suffocated while doing maintenance work inside the tank at the factory in Chuksan Port in Yeongdeok, some 250 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
The 42-year-old and 28-year-old Thai workers and the 53-year-old Vietnamese person died in the accident, and the other victim, a 34-year-old Thai, is currently in a coma, the fire headquarters said.
The tank stores byproducts from the processing of fish and shellfish, it added.
The rescue authorities said the workers appeared to have entered the tank without safety equipments even though there was a high risk of inhaling toxic gas from decomposed fishery products.
Local police said they're investigating company officials to find out whether they followed established safety regulations. (Yonhap)

UMMC makes strides toward preventing, delaying ovarian cancer
Published on Sunday, September 1, 2019
By: Cynthia Wall, CWall@umc.edu
New breakthroughs have led to new drugs to treat and delay ovarian cancer recurrence and more innovations appear to be on the way.
A targeted therapy approved about four years ago is making a difference and may be followed soon by similar therapies now in a testing and approval process, said Dr. Mildred Ridgway, associate professor of gynecologic oncology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
"We've been using it the past three years as an alternative in the recurrent setting with real promising results," Ridgway said. "Patients are tolerating it extremely well."
Ridgway, who also leads the UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute's Interdisciplinary Gynecologic Cancer Program, said the drug olaparib (marketed as Lynparza) is also approved for use in trying to prevent or delay ovarian cancer recurrence.
The drug initially was approved for use after a patient was treated with chemotherapy and their ovarian cancer recurred. In December, the Federal Drug Administration approved its use in a maintenance setting, so patients would complete chemotherapy and take this drug to prevent a recurrence.
Now, the drug and other targeted therapies – ones that more precisely identify cancer cells and interfere with their growth and reproduction – are being studied as a possible frontline or first treatment.
The drug is a targeted therapy, meaning it works in a cancer cell's inner workings. This drug is for women who have a BRCAm mutation in their cancer cells.
Ridgway said chemotherapies initially used to treat ovarian cancer are effective, "but the risk of recurrence remains high." This drug and other poly polymerase or ADP-ribose PARP inhibitors give women a longer time between recurrences and have fewer side effects than chemotherapy.
This drug is offered after chemotherapy for maintenance in women whose tumors have the BRCAm mutation; however, there are promising results for women who do not have the BRCAm mutation.
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson, assistant professor of hematology and oncology, said targeted therapies such as olaparib bring hope that cancer physicians can one day say "this is a cancer that is less likely to come back rather than more likely to recur."
Another hope is that work to develop a test to screen for ovarian cancer can help women find it earlier when treatment is more effective, said Wilkinson, a medical oncologist.
Genetic testing may be offered to women after diagnosis with certain cancers to see if a targeted drug would be effective. If they have particular genetic mutations, the knowledge may inform close family, such as siblings or children, to be screened more often for the same type of cancer.
"I hope the more genetic testing we do, we'll see more patients who know they are at higher risk for some cancers," Wilkinson said.
Nationally, ovarian cancer leads to more deaths than any other gynecologic cancer, accounting for 5 percent of cancer deaths among women.
While having more therapies is advantageous, Ridgway still recommends women do all they can to avoid a gynecologic cancer or to see a doctor as soon as they notice signs that something may be wrong.
She recommended the following actions:
• Get a recommended Pap test for cervical cancer regularly.
If doctors find cells that are beginning to look like cancer, they can remove them before they become malignant. If it is already malignant, finding a cancer early means treatment likely will be more successful.
More women need to be screened, Ridgway said. Of any action, "the most important is to remember your annual exam and follow appropriate Pap testing guidelines," she said.
• Know your own body and see a doctor when something changes.
For example, Ridgway said vaginal bleeding after menopause isn't natural. It may not be cancer, but women should let a doctor test to find out what it is.
• Teenagers should receive the Human Papillomavirus vaccine to prevent gynecologic and anal cancers.
Doctors recommend boys and girls get the vaccine at age 11 or 12 and anytime up to age 26.
The combination of actions, screening, better treatments and vaccinations may help lower deaths from gynecologic cancers, she said.
While Mississippi has about an average number of new cases of cancer annually, the deaths from them are higher than the national average. That's in part because cancer has advanced before women seek help, Ridgway said.
According to records compiled by the Mississippi Cancer Registry, of the 139 cervical cancers diagnosed in 2016 – the latest year for which verified information is available – almost half, 73, were diagnosed in a late stage.
The registry shows that for 2016, Mississippi hospitals reported the following for gynecologic cancer incidence (number diagnosed) and mortality (number who died of the given disease):
Cancer Incidence Mortality
Ovarian 134 121
Cervical 139 55
Vulva 63 14
Uterine 564 88
Vagina 14 6

Planet Football is definitely in our orbit. My Sister, with no proven track record in watching the beautiful game, has announced that she intends to buy a new TV for the forthcoming football feast that is about to commence. Whilst the marketing machine that has invaded our High Street comes as little surprise, the sheer number of flags attached to cars and houses certainly does. Are we really that expectant?
Planet Football offers me the opportunity to do this blog, I have never done one before, bit of a learning curve for me to be honest. Football, however is not a new pursuit, perhaps if it was I would not become a Charlton Athletic season ticket holder and follow a Club that won things occasionally.
But enough of the domestic football preoccupations, I need to think of South Africa and my forthcoming insertion into Planet Football. Let me introduce you to my squad that will be joining me on this trip.
AL - Thoroughly decent chap, dependable in the, ahem, tackle and just the sort of chap that is great company to have around. Supports Brighton and Hove Albion.
GARRY - Quite simply one of the nicest people you could wish to meet, versatile, willing to take people on but never, ever, looks for an unfair advantage. Supports Leatherhead.
NORMAN - Had a great season and reached previously unheard levels of fitness, is now the owner of a terrific engine. Great at set pieces. Supports Brighton and Hove Albion.
This Game is of obvious importance to me because as well as En-ger-land playing it will also, in every likelihood, feature ex Addick Madjid Bougherra. I do hope he plays as erratically in the back four as he demonstrated in his time at the Valley.
Naturally, we'll be watching all the other games but that will be done on TV, though never say never of course. There may be others to attend before returning to England at the end of the knockout phase for some of the squad to attend Glastonbury FC's AGM!
22 June - Port Elizabeth, St Georges Park.
Those Euro 2004 gigs all seem a bit of a blur now.
There are late concerns of the fitness of Garry, will he make the trip? We are awaiting the reports from his Doctor who he saw today. Should he be unfit, who is our Michael Dawson? Can we take Darren Bent? (That Danny Last chap would be absolutely ideal - Ed.) Additionally there appear to be some doubt over the Port Elizabeth gig, are there any promoters there looking for a colour blind DJ? I will try and keep you all posted.
Is the Port Elizabeth gig happening?
Frank the cat had North Korea!! So much for the luck of the ginger fluffy one!!
Then I had France! say no more!
Give it large team Mair Bear!

NBC Sets Sneak Preview for New Comedy Series
NBC announced plans to air a sneak preview of the first two episodes of the new fall comedy series "I Feel Bad." The first two episodes will air Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 10 and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT before the show settles into its regular time slot on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. starting Oct. 4.
Here's the show's logline: "Emet is the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. OK, she's not perfect. In fact, she's just figuring it out like the rest of us. Sure, she feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husband, or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in public, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that's OK, right? Nobody can have it all and do it perfectly. From executive producer Amy Poehler comes a modern comedy about being perfectly OK with being imperfect."
The cast includes Sarayu Blue, Paul Adelstein, Madhur Jaffrey, Brian George, James Buckley, Zach Cherry and Johnny Pemberton. Aseem Batra is writer and executive producer. Julie Anne Robinson will direct and executive produce the pilot. Amy Poehler, Dave Becky and Josh Maurer also executive produce.
"I Feel Bad" is produced by Universal Television, Paper Kite Productions, CannyLads Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.
Here's a trailer …

THE ANTI-MONOPOLY authority fined five real-estate agencies for collusion on July 8.
The five agencies violated open market laws by setting the scope of provision, the administration fee sum, and by agreeing not to compete with each other, the SITA newswire reported.
The Anti-Monopoly Office (PMÚ) judged their behaviour to have been an agreement on price-fixing and limiting market competition. Three of the involved companies have made use of the option for settlements, and their fine was lowered by 30 percent.
All the companies involved in the collusion were small businesses with lower revenues, so the fines totalled just €4,131, according to SITA.


One of my psychology professors, a genial, graying, slightly potbellied pedagogue with a distinct dislike for popular trends in the field, was fond of saying that the Bible was "the greatest psychology text ever written." When asked to explain, he'd point out that in its parables, history and myth, the Bible instructs us concerning the full breadth of human emotion and motivation.
"It's all there," he'd say. "You just have to know what you're looking for."
I was reminded of the good professor several years ago when one day I realized that few, if any, of my clients were answering the first "clinical" question put to them - "What brings you to my office?" - with the truth.
Instead they'd say, "Our child has a problem," and would proceed to describe a lingering misbehavior or irresponsibility that was driving them crazy. As they told their tale of woe, the child in question would usually be sitting on the floor of my office, playing nonchalantly with a toy.
It became obvious that many, if not most, of these children didn't have any problems at all. Their parents had the problems. I then realized that all these children from all these different family backgrounds shared something in common: the Biblical concepts of penance and atonement were not functioning in their lives.
To simplify somewhat, penance involves the idea that when someone does something "bad," that person, and no one else, should feel bad, or penitent, about it. The same person is also responsible for whatever atonement is appropriate, meaning he should correct the problem created by his misdeed.
In these upside-down families, the children were doing "bad" things of one sort or another, but the parents were feeling bad and the parents were trying to solve the problems - problems only the children could solve. The children, therefore, were off the hook.
Penance drives atonement, or so the Bible tells us. Without penance, atonement will not take place. Translate: Unless complete emotional responsibility for these problems was assigned the children, the children would not, could not, solve them. So "therapy" amounted to helping the parents unload the problem from their shoulders onto the shoulders of the child.
To give an example: Ted - by all accounts a capable 9-year-old - was not finishing his class work or turning in homework. His parents agonized and even spent lots of money having him tested and talked to by various professionals. But the more Ted's parents tried to solve the problem, the more it appeared Ted simply didn't care.
Finally, they began checking in with Ted's teacher at the end of every school day. If Ted had completed all his class work and turned in all his homework, he was free to do pretty much as he pleased that afternoon and evening. If not, he was confined to his room after school and went to bed early. What he did in his room was his business, but Ted quickly learned that what he did affected his freedom the next day. So Ted began completing his class work and turning in his homework.
Chalk one up for "the greatest psychology text ever written."

Q: layoutsubviews only called once despite any device rotation just what the title says: I create an empty UIView subclass and I add a subview to it, I create an empty layoutSubviews method and I add a breakpoint there. Then I build the project and the simulation stops when loading the view at that point in the layoutSubviews method. Everything is fine so far. I continue the simulation and I rotate the device (assuming that the view controller is set to allow any orientation) but layoutSubviews is never called again, despite I can see how my object is rotating.
Any idea?
OK, i will simplify my question: How do I create a custom UIView with some subviews and make it responsive to the device orientation? I don't need to use drawRect or anything, just subclass UIView, add a couple of subViews and handle them when the device is rotating.

A: Did you try setting the autoresizingMask on the UIView?  For example like below:
someView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;

From the UIView documentation:

'When a view's bounds change, that view automatically resizes its
  subviews according to each subview's autoresizing mask'

If you set the autoresizingMask to something other than None it should mean that the layoutSubviews method is always called when the views bounds change.

A: I'm not sure if it's exactly the same but i ran into a similar problem. I was using a UISplitViewContoller (template from Xcode) and adding a subview into the DetailViewController. The layoutSubviews methods was not getting called on rotation because it was a subview of the main UIView in the ViewController. So i added this to the DetailsViewController to get it to work (detailView is my subview):
- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation {
    [super didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:fromInterfaceOrientation];
    if (detailView != nil) [detailView layoutSubviews];
}

Blockchain Series: Fostering Trust in our Smart Cities
"The city is what it is because our citizens are what they are," said Plato, the Ancient Greek philosopher, almost 2,500 years ago. Today, cities are still shaped by their citizens but as our urban society becomes increasingly digital, who or what the citizens are is becoming less clear.
Stolen identities, data beaches, voter fraud, invasions of privacy and the hacking of physical systems in our buildings, cities and grids are rife. By faking human or digital identities and by taking more information than is necessary during digital interactions we have lost track of who we are dealing with and whether we can trust them. The situation is rapidly sprilling, hacks and breaches that would have been record-breaking a decade ago seem to happen on a monthly basis today.
As Memoori and many experts in the field have highlighted, we are neglecting these vulnerabilities as we race into this smart future. However, as is often the case in human history, the problems caused by one technology are eventually solved by another technology. In the story of the internet of things (IoT) and smart cities, we may have found our saviour in the blockchain.
"Trust is a fundamental part of the value chain in our world. We establish trust through a wide
variety of intermediaries that exist with the sole purpose of aggregating and validating information. Blockchain technology has now made it possible to redefine the enterprise of 'trust' by making information inherently trustworthy," says Neel Ratan, Regional Managing Partner and Government Leader, PwC. "The blockchain also promises to deliver IT solutions which are more robust, resilient, tamper-proof, efficient and transparent. But can it make our cities smarter?" he asks.
The smart city promises to enhance the quality and performance of urban services by connecting everything and adding intelligence to our systems. All too often however, this connectivity is brings vulnerabilities that undermine the very reasons for implementing smart technology in the first place. As the 3rd part of our April Blockchain Series we explore how the technology could change our urban societies.
Blockchain Cities
In February 2017, Dubai announced a collaboration with IBM for implementing a test phase of blockchain. The first objective of this test was for tracking the import and export of goods in the port city, by replacing paper based contracts with the smart contracts. The solution is uses Hyperledger Fabric and IBM Cloud to enable real-time access to shipping data for all stakeholders and uses Watson IoT for device-reported data to validate the smart contracts. The system adds security and efficiency to port processes by bringing the trade finance cycle onto a single blockchain platform.
In Moscow, blockchain is being implemented into an e-voting system. As far back as 2014, the Active Citizen project allows Muscovites to better participate in city management decisions and urban planning. The blockchain enabled system uses an encrypted algorithm to timestamp votes and authenticates voters in real-time, thereby highlighting illegitimate votes straight away.
"We are excited to improve credibility and transparency of [the] e-voting system in Moscow by introducing blockchain. We believe that blockchain will increase trust between the citizens and the government. We aim to hit 2 million users in the near future who are ready to influence the city life," says Artem Ermolaev, CIO of the city of Moscow.
The Baltic nation of Estonia may well be the most advanced digital nation in the world. Along with being the birthplace of Skype, the relatively small nation has also become a blockchain pioneer. Estonia was already highly digitized when it introduced blockchain in order to give citizens full control of their data. In one example, Estonians can now access all their healthcare records online and see exactly who has viewed or edited them due to the transparency offered by blockchain. Anyone found accessing information without good reason can be prosecuted.
Today, almost every public service in Estonia is digitalized. Every citizen has a secure digital identity that enables them to access the services easily. This has brought about unprecedented transparency, thereby fostering greater trust between the citizens and their government and enriching the democratic process.
"For cities, the opportunities for blockchain use are endless," said Shekkar Gupta, COO for The Solutions Group. Who went on to list a wide variety of uses for blockchain, including waste management, managing parking, welfare, land titling and municipal bonds. Gupta added, "while it may not solve all government-related issues, leaders must give it a chance."
One of the most disruptive elements of the past decade has been the sharing economy. Firms like Uber and Airbnb have rewritten the rules of personal transport and accommodation respectively. Such services allow anyone to use their vehicle, home, knowledge or time to provide services to others for a price. This trend is redistributing money like never before and its success suggests that we should expect more of the same in the years and decades to come.
The premise of the sharing economy is that communities (towns, cities, and so on) can control their own destinies and promote local commerce – as well as keep more of the economic value they generate. Recent initiatives are now demonstrating how blockchain can add a layer of trust that will super-charge the sharing economy and unleash a new generation of community driven services.
Digital Town is one such initiative, it aims to create a smart city platform that focuses on "giving power back to the people" via a distributed platform that is under community control. Digital Town offers services like Smart Search, Smart Wallet, and Smart Web, so that communities can essentially make their own markets and economies for goods and services, without the fees from the multinational internet giants. In essence, Digital Town want to provide a platform for cities to be their own local Google, Expedia, Amazon, Airbnb, and so on, for their own community.
The platform is ambitious, aiming at integrating local search for accommodation, dining, retail, employment, classifieds, transportation, events, and much more, but under the control of the community rather than a corporation. By using blockchain they can provide the secure, distributed foundation for peer-to-peer transactions, payments, and identification services and essentially whatever applications that can utilize smart contracts.
Each city, and community, will have its own needs and opportunities. Consider Cape Town, South Africa, a city with the unfortunate title of 'most likely major city to run out of water.' A blockchain based platform for water efficiency may create a purpose built currency to reward people, households or businesses for using less water. Credits gained from water efficiency could then be used on other local services such as transport, entertainment, or even tax breaks.
The same system could be applied to electricity, congestion, or whatever else is thought up. Such a system, according to Digital Town and others, would be relatively easy to implement. Different values could be given to different elements in line with shortages and need for efficiency, thereby creating tangible incentives for direct response to the varying needs of a city. What city would be smart than one that could react to changes on this scale when it needs to.
Scaling Problems
Today there are more than 30 cities in the world with a population of 10 million or more, these metropolis' have been dubbed megacities by the United Nations, who expect the number of megacities to rise above 40 in the next 10 years. Creating any city-wide projects like this would need to work efficiently at huge scales, and a growing number of experts believe that blockchain simply does not have that capacity.
"IoT devices are expected to reach 50 billion by 2020, with an estimated 50 trillion interactions per day," said Lman Chu, co-founder of Taiwanese startup Biilabs. "The existing blockchain technology that we have now can't possibly deal with a transaction volume this large," he said, adding that they are not the only ones who noticed the scalability problem.
In reaction to this, the IOTA organization developed a different distributed ledger technology called a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), or 'Tangle.' When a transaction is recorded on Tangle, two others are validated, meaning the Tangle network doesn't slow down with high transaction volume like blockchain could. Therefore, the IOTA method should be capable of handling large volumes of transactions per second and is being promoted as the potential 'backbone of the IoT'.
"You want to ensure the data is completely tamper-proof and that is what any distributed ledger can bring. But IOTA can bring it in a unique way in the sense that it doesn't get inhibited by fees and scaling limitations like regular blockchains," said David Sonstebo, the co-founder of IOTA.
In January this year, Taipei signed a partnership agreement with the Germany-based IOTA Foundation to explore smart city solutions based on Tangle. The city has already launched a number of projects including digital identification and air quality monitoring systems. "A lot of people probably have the notion that blockchain technology is universal, but it's not," said Lman Chu.
Mike McRoberts, founder and principal at startup investment firm MCS LLC, suggests that while blockchain has not yet been perfected, cities should be fully aware that it is coming. "Just because it's not fully ready for scale doesn't mean you shouldn't get ready for it," he said. And while it may seem very futuristic, its wider use will make it easier for city leaders to understand, especially as the private sector flexes its research muscles. "One of these days, there will be an Apple of blockchain who will simplify it all," McRoberts concluded.

However, children can be vulnerable to harm when heading to or departing from their school bus. This is underscored by the fact that most school-bus-related deaths, around 7 out of every ten according to National Safety Council estimates, happen outside of a bus.
Unfortunately, recent news has seen tragic examples of the potential for deadly accidents to occur outside of school buses. For one, there was the recent crash in Indiana in which three students were killed.
One of the things that can create big dangers for students is when drivers don't obey the traffic rules related to school buses. This includes the rules requiring drivers to stop when a bus has its stop arm out. There is the potential for students to get hit by such drivers when entering or leaving a school bus.
So, one would hope all drivers in Maryland would carefully follow the stop-arm rules. Unfortunately, it appears reality is pretty far off from this hope. A survey suggests that the state sees thousands of violations of these rules a day during the school year. In this survey, school bus drivers were asked whether they had seen any such violations one day in April of this year. Over 3,800 stop arm violations were reported for that day.
What do you think it will take to get more drivers in the state to be vigilant about obeying school bus stop-arm rules?

Amazing Wheelbarrow Race 2017
It's that time of year again, when you will see the strange sighting of grown men and women pushing each other in wheelbarrows around Albert Park! But don't be alarmed, these are participants of the Frank Hilton Amazing Wheelbarrow Race who are on their practice runs. These individuals from reputed companies such as Bluescope Lysaght, Vinod Patel, Fortec Constructions British American Tobacco, Sun Insurance, BSP, and Harcourts Fiji to name a few are participants of possibly one of the most innovative and entertaining fundraising activities ever seen in Suva.
In 2016 the first ever Amazing Wheelbarrow race took place raising over $80,000 for the Frank Hilton Organization. " Fundraisers such as this assist us to keep our doors opened and continue to offer much needed services to children with disabilities", the president of the Organization Ritesh Dass stated in his Welcome address.
Sureni Perera, Chief Executive Officer Frank Hilton Organization who spoke at the event stated "The Hilton Schools are the only Special Schools in the country to have a multidisciplinary team of specialists to provide support services that provide for a holistic developmental approach for children with disabilities. Hilton Audiology is the only facility that can detect hearing loss in infants soon after birth and it provides service to the CWM hospital in Suva through an Out Reach programme. Hilton Physiotherapy has both clinical and technical personnel and over 62 children receive physiotherapy each week. Where there are no speech Therapists in Fiji we still run a Speech Therapy programme for 25 children" She also said "The Fiji Crippled Children's Society was founded by a concerned group of citizens of Suva, fast forward 50 years and with a name change, today we still remain a concerned group of citizens who's intention it is to provide the best in services for children with disabilities and their families"
Chris McLoughlin, General Manager Bluescope Lysaght, whose team finished the race in record time last year and are currently defending champions said " I have done some research on the cost it takes in first world countries to provide services to children and it is admirable what Frank Hilton Organization is doing for children with disabilities. This is why we decided to support the cause with not one but two teams in this year's race."
The Amazing wheelbarrow race is scheduled for the 29th of July. The Organizing committee expects at least 30 teams to participate. Each team will raise a minimum of $5000 each to compete in the Race. The race has 2 heats of 3 laps around Albert Park and the top 3 teams in the heats will participate in the Final race which will be 1 lap around Albert Park. There will be Awards for the top 3 podium positions as well as the best dressed team, the highest funds raised by a team, the "over 40's" team, the team with the most number of senior management team members etc.
The Amazing wheelbarrow Race is not only a fundraiser for a worthy cause but also an opportunity for team building and corporate philanthropy. It offers a good opportunity for companies to also promote wellness and optimize fitness amongst their staff members.

Rina Morelli (* 6. Dezember 1908 in Neapel; † 17. Juli 1976 in Rom) war eine italienische Theater- und Filmschauspielerin.

Leben und Karriere
Mit sieben Jahren machte Rina Morelli, Tochter von Theaterschauspielern, ihr Bühnendebüt in Paolo Giacomettis Stück Morte Civile. Ab 1938 war sie am Teatro Eliseo in Rom tätig, wo sie ihren späteren Ehemann Paolo Stoppa traf. Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges begann das Schauspielerehepaar eine lange und fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit dem Regisseur Luchino Visconti. Durch ihre gemeinsamen Aufführungen von modernen Stücken wie Tennessee Williams' Endstation Sehnsucht, wo Morelli die Rolle der zerbrechlichen Blanche DuBois übernahm, wurde Rina Morelli zu einer der respektiersten Charakterdarstellerinnen ihrer Generation in Italien.

Ihr Filmdebüt machte Morelli im Jahr 1939 an der Seite von Gino Cervi im Abenteuerstreifen Der Kavalier mit der Maske. Im Vergleich zum Theater, wo sie regelmäßig Hauptrollen erhielt, war ihre Filmkarriere allerdings eher zweitrangig. Am bekanntesten ist sie wahrscheinlich für ihre drei Kinorollen unter Viscontis Regie: In Sehnsucht (1954) spielte sie die Gouvernante Laura, in Der Leopard (1963) verkörperte sie die streng katholische Ehefrau von Burt Lancaster, und in ihrem zugleich letzten Film Die Unschuld (1976) war sie als Mutter von Giancarlo Giannini zu sehen. Ihre Auftritte in Der Leopard (1963) und Die Affäre Murri (1974) brachten ihr Nominierungen für den Nastro d'Argento als Beste Nebendarstellerin ein. Im italienischen Fernsehen war sie unter anderem im Jahr 1971 als Ida Jungmann in einer Adaption der Buddenbrooks zu sehen, an welcher auch ihr Ehemann mitwirkte. Morelli war ebenfalls eine vielbeschäftigte Sprecherin bei italienischen Synchronfassungen, darunter als Stammsprecherin von Judy Holliday und Lizabeth Scott.

Rina Morelli starb im Juli 1976 im Alter von 67 Jahren und hinterließ ihren Ehemann Paolo Stoppa.

After Djokovic led Serbia to the 2010 title, he only played doubles against Sweden in July of 2011, and retired against Juan Martin del Potro in a semifinal loss to Argentina in September, 2011. Playing without Djokovic, Serbia lost to the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals last April and won't play again until the first round in February, 2013 against an undetermined opponent.

Taxis are a big part of New York City given the density of the population and the vastness of the city. It was the perfect place for ride-share giants Uber and Lyft to present their services. Now it looks as though they've worn out their welcome with more traffic.
The city is looking at laws to limit how many Uber and Lyft cars are allowed on streets. There was an attempt by Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2015 but that stalled after both companies pushed back. Now legislators are backing a second attempt to get it done. The New York Times reports that the City Council is expected to vote on the law on August 8th, giving the companies little time to push against the attempt.
One bill would put a freeze on the hiring new drivers for a year. This is to give the Taxi and Limousine Commission time the need of ride-sharing companies, how much they contribute to travel congestion and how they serve different areas of the city. The Commission will also look at driver income as a factor.
This ties into another bill which would freeze new hires by location. If a neighborhood has enough taxi and ride-share services, expect to see no new Uber and Lyft cars on the road.
The dominance of Uber and Lyft in the city has seen the two services operate outside of the same laws that apply to the taxis they've damaged financially. On the other side of the coin, the services are viewed as convenient for riders.
As expected, the two companies are spinning this as an attack not against them but the neighborhoods and demographics they serve. On top of that, they've become separate ad campaigns against the proposed bills. In the end either the city will reign Uber and Lyft in or they will continue to operate as usual. It's a reached a point where the latter might be unlikely. Then again, so does Uber and Lyft being limited if there is enough public outcry.

Curry house boss cleared of raping man after changing story
Lutfur Rahman denied wrongdoing after allegation he pushed his way into man's home and sexually abused him
Geoffrey Bennett
Bristol Crown Court
A curry house owner has been cleared of raping a vulnerable man in his Bristol home.
Lutfur Rahman, boss of the British Raj in Westbury-on-Trym, initially denied all charges after the man said he was sexually attacked when alone in his home.
But when it was found semen stains on a carpet matched Rahman's DNA profile, the 63-year-old restaurateur said the two of them had had consensual sexual activity.
Rahman, of St Edyths Road in Bristol, denied sexual assault and rape in June last year and today a jury at Bristol Crown Court unanimously found him not guilty of both charges.
Grime star Solo 45 court latest: "My sex is on the verge of rape"
James Haskell, prosecuting, said the complainant reported that a man aged in his 50s of Pakistani appearance pushed into his home and sexually abused him.
Mr Haskell said: "(The complainant) said the man told him to go into the bedroom.
"The man then removed his penis and started to masturbate.
"The man tried to grab his penis but the complainant stopped him."
The intruder had a knife, the court heard, and demanded the complainant give him oral sex.
Mr Haskell said: "The complainant was frightened.
"He was forced to put the man's penis into his mouth."

After the incident the alleged intruder appeared to drive off in a silver taxi, the court heard.
The complainant's key worker reported the alleged abuse to police.
Mr Rahman was arrested and told police he didn't know the complainant and had not been to his address.
He said he had been married 30 years, his relationship with his wife was very good and he didn't find men sexually attractive.
But when forensic evidence was uncovered linking Mr Rahman to the scene, Rahman failed to answer questions.
He then said there was consensual sexual activity between him and the complainant that day.

St Thomas farmers receive 'farming as a business' training
Graduates of the eight-week 'Farming as a Business' training programme show off their certificates at the graduation ceremony held recently at the Needham Pen Seventh Day Adventist Church in St. Thomas. Sharing the moment are Parish Agricultural Manager, Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) St Thomas, Bevene Martin-Dickenson (left); and facilitators, RADA Acting Training Manager, Leight Brown (right) and Extension Officer, Paul Campbell (background, right). The training was undertaken through partnership between by RADA and Commonwealth of Learning. Contributed photo
Farmers of the Needham Pen Farmers Association in St Thomas are now more equipped to operate their farms as viable businesses, after receiving key knowledge and training in this regard.
Under a partnership between the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) and Commonwealth of Learning, 24 farmers successfully completed an eight-week 'Farming as a Business' training programme earlier this year.
Twenty of them were on hand to receive their certificates at a graduation ceremony held last Thursday (September 15) at the Needham Pen Seventh Day Adventist Church in the parish.
Addressing the event, Parish Agricultural Manager for RADA, Bevene Martin-Dickenson, commended the farmers for taking advantage of the training opportunity afforded to them by the partnership.
She implored them to continue playing their part in enhancing food security and to exemplify the principles of the 'Grow Smart, Eat Smart' national campaign.
Throughout the training, the farmers were exposed to topics such as record keeping, marketing, post-harvest management, cost of production and formalising a business.
Keynote speaker at the ceremony and former RADA Parish Agricultural Manager, Caswell Glover, underscored the importance of managing the farm as an enterprise, noting that, "if you are farming (only) because you love it, you should leave it."
He said that in order to increase earnings, farming should entail diversification and value-added production.
He noted, for example, that farmers who produce fresh meats such as chicken, pork and beef, could also make ham and jerked products to increase profits.
An agro-processor, who produces breadfruit, banana, plantain and cassava chips, breadfruit and banana flour, fruit wines and juices, and dried fruit snacks, Mr. Glover told the farmers that they should no longer refer to their farms as "bush" but rather, their place of business.
In their testimonials, some of the members of the group expressed their appreciation for the training and said that they are already seeing more revenue due to their newfound knowledge and the ability to make better business decisions.
Special awards were handed out for full attendance, most improved farmer, and the most outstanding young female and male farmers.
Through RADA, the farmers will continue to have access to technical information and agricultural assistance. The agency had also provided water tanks, seeds, and fertilisers to the grateful group.
-JIS NEWS-


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) stunned voting-rights advocates this week, arguing that Republican governors should control "voting mechanisms" in order to help the party win the 2016 presidential election.
The good news is, the Garden State governor decided to clarify his remarks yesterday. The bad news is, Christie made things worse.
Christie noted that he was specifically talking about electing Republican governors and that it is state legislatures that are passing voter identification requirements.
Indeed, taking the two sets of Christie comments together, it's difficult to think of a charitable interpretation.
As we discussed the other day, in a functioning democracy, control over "voting mechanisms" shouldn't dictate election outcomes. Citizens consider the candidates, they cast their ballots, the ballots are counted, and the winner takes office. It's supposed to be non-partisan – the oversight of the elections process must be professional and detached from politics in order to maintain the integrity of the system itself.
In other words, Christie doesn't want a non-partisan elections process. The governor and likely presidential candidate wants the exact opposite.
It might very well be the most controversial thing Christie has ever said in public. That he sees this as unimportant – his intended "clarification" only added insult to injury – speaks volumes about Christie's cynical, partisan vision of how democracy is supposed to work.

Q: WPF DockPanel: cannot select it to add children I have created a few text boxes that have to be added as children to my DockPanel. I have given this DockPanel a name and then when I try in my code to use this name, Intellisense does not give me any results. How do I select DockPanel and then add its children?
I want to select it and add some text boxes to it as its children. For example: nameLocationPanel.Children.Add(new TextBox());
This is the top part of my XAML code that contains the DockPanel. It already has some text boxes, but I want to add more in my C# code.
        <ListBox ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource lbStyle}" Name="searchList" BorderBrush="#FF898989" BorderThickness="2" MouseUp="searchList_MouseUp" MouseDoubleClick="searchList_MouseDoubleClick" Visibility="Visible">
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <StackPanel>
                            <DockPanel Name="nameLocationPanel">
                                <TextBlock FontSize="14" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}"/>
                                <TextBlock FontSize="14" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text=" "/>
                                <TextBlock FontSize="14" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding Path=LastName}"/>
                                <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" Text="{Binding Path=Location}"/>
                            </DockPanel>

A: It is within a DataTemplate, you can't select it by name at all as it doesn't exist in your Window, it's just a Template definition that will get repeated so there isn't 1 dockpanel but N, N being equal to how many items there are in your listbox and there could well be 0 dockpanels.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? Odds are you're going about it backward.

A: You cannot access to the DockPanel because it is a part of a DataTemplate. It is generated for every item in your ListBox so it is impossible to access to a single instance of it.
To add additional items to the DockPanel it is necessary to do it via something like a binding in XAML or a special UserControl. But it depend always on the ListBoxItem.


The rivalry between UCLA and USC travels well, apparently. A gleeful Lone Star Bruin sent in the letter below, recounting the true story of a gastronomical gag he and his wife played earlier this month on some Trojan friends at the Capital Grille in Houston, Texas.
Read on and have a laugh at the expense of two none-too-quick-on-the-uptake alumni from our arch-rival across town (which, by the way, estimates that its students spend an average $50,000 per year on their educations).
But wait, that wasn't the funny part. When we arrived, [our friends] began to read the menu but complained, in all seriousness, "Why is there a special menu?" "Why are there so few choices?" "Can we order from the regular menu?" Only when we pointed out to them that it was a UCLA theme did they finally see the humor and had a good laugh. So the lesson to be learned....if you play a joke on a Trojan, don't be subtle!

The role of farmers in the future of sustainable agriculture and food
Thursday, January 3, 2019 (0 Comments)
Posted by: Lauren Brey, director of marketing and research
Sustainability, whatever your definition of it may be, is a major trend in food today that is not going away.
Traditional food companies have been upset by shifting consumer eating patterns over the past decade, driven by bloggers, social media influencers and others like fitness communities (think Crossfit and the Paleo diet they promote).
Mike Lee, founder of The Alpha Labs Future Market, is working to re-envision what the future of food looks like. He believes that farmers should play a key role in addressing the trends in food today and creating a demand for sustainable agriculture.
But what can farmers do? What does a more sustainable food system look like on the food shelf?
It's all about the story
Customers need a vivid story they can latch onto and build a movement around. This is evidenced by the changes in the traditional food system of big food companies losing market share to smaller, more contemporary brands. Much of this can be attributed to the demands of customers and the bloggers and social media influencers making demands.
"We need more farmers getting out in front of the public to tell the stories of what's happening on the land and how it impacts the food we eat," Lee said. "There's still a huge disconnect in understanding between the farmer and end consumer today, despite the fact that food has never been more top of mind for the masses.
"We can look at what chefs did over the past 20 years to demystify and engage the public on what happens in a restaurant kitchen as a template for what farmers might be able to do for farms."
The new rockstars of food
"In my opinion, there's still a very vague sense of what sustainability in food actually means to the average consumer, and I don't think farmers can afford to depend on big food companies to tell that story for them," Lee said. "Who can be the Rachael Ray or other celebrity chef from the sustainable farming community? The past 20 years has been about how chefs are rockstars, but I think we need the next 20 years to be about farmers being the new rockstars of food."
Lee's hope for the future is that we can raise public awareness of what actually happens on farms of all sizes and create a true understanding of what is and what is not sustainable with respect to food production. He believes we need a "pop culture" version of what some chefs are doing for the narrow, upper-class audience that will reach the mainstream.
"Ideally, this will come from a farmer or group of farmers who can rise to the occasion and tell those stories," he said.
As farmers, we know the ins and outs of food production on the ground level. We are intimately connected to the land and animals we care for. Our customers are more interested than ever before in understanding where their food comes from, and we are uniquely positioned to share that with them.
We must work to connect with our customers through our common values. Edge and our sister organization, Dairy Business Association, work to connect members with customers through social media, video stories and on-farm events.
