Analog vs. Digital - The need for L2 Multicast
L2 Multicast Service
The L2 Multicast is a solution that helps businesses deliver their content to subscribers more efficiently
Dusting off an old analog television set and playing a video off a cassette would be a relatively novel experience for many of us, in today's digital age. We have evolved greatly from the initial radio-wave based analog television systems and have moved on to the age of ultra-high definition (UHD). If radio waves needed to be used to deliver a UHD feed to a television, a giant industrial-grade transmitter was required at a position adjacent to the television. With living spaces and offices reducing in size, this would not be the most feasible way to bring television to the people anymore.
Transmission through cable was the way out. Cable allowed for a significant improvement in video and audio quality, and in turn, end-user experience. The problems with analog transmission via cable are quite significant though. Audio and video signals were transmitted via Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). As a result, television transmissions were subject to interference. Ghosting and snow were possible obstructions, depending on the distance and geographical location of the source from the television set. Bandwidth restrictions on analog transmission also meant lower resolution and overall quality of the image received on the television screen.
Digital transmission proved to be the game changer. Radio waves, which were used to facilitate transmission and were less efficient, were replaced by data. Tiny bits of information were sent from the source and delivered to the destination, where they would be converted into audio and video signals. Audio and video quality improved, and high definition television was now a reality. This was further augmented by developments in the field of data transmission, with L2 Multicast helping businesses reach multiple users simultaneously across large geographies.
The L2 Multicast is a solution that helps businesses deliver their content to subscribers more efficiently. Transmission is done through a network link that establishes a tree, connecting the source to multiple receivers. It copies data from the source and broadcasts it simultaneously to multiple end points which help improve broadcast efficiency and gains in bandwidth. The solution also allows for localised video content to be shared at any of the drops while also allowing for a means to distribute it further, across multiple geographies.
For businesses that aim to lower costs while boosting customer satisfaction levels, the L2 Multicast offers a robust means of delivering content. It allows for them to digitally simulcast live TV and multicast to thousands of subscribers simultaneously with optimised bandwidth usage, allowing for costs to be controlled effectively. In a world that is slowly moving towards total digital transmission, it represents the strongest means to share content with thousands simultaneously.

Master Gensha on the liberation of all beings.
Dr Alan Sidi comments upon the Four Great Vows of the Bodhisattva, the importance of bodhicitta and generating compassion.
Master Gensha said 'Everywhere there is great concern about the means to bring about the liberation of sentient beings.'
If there is great concern as Master Gensha says then we will wish to investigate the means at every turning. When we are concerned about something it remains with us all the time.
What are these means?
How I usually try to solve problems and fix things is with my intellect – but as we have seen its all deluded thinking, it will get us nowhere; what are the means then? – the clue, the pointer is in the same sentence; the liberation of sentient beings. In other words the means is to be found when the concern for liberation goes beyond I, me and mine. He confirms it with the next phrase where he says ; this is the first of the four vows. The four vows as we know are :
Beings are numberless, I vow to save them all
The passions are inexhaustible, I vow to end them all
Dharma gates are boundless,
I vow to enter them all
Buddha's way is unsurpassable, I vow to walk it to the end.
These vows are taken by those who walk the Bodhisattva path, which is the aspiration of those who wish to practice Buddhism, they vow never to rest until all beings are liberated. It is an expression of what is called Bodhicitta which is the aspiration to raise enlightenment for all sentient beings.
People have been divided into three types. One, those who remain in delusion and go about their lives seeking to satisfy their desires, always living in fear of loss and gain. The second are those who turn their backs on attachment and follow the Buddha's way but seek to liberate just themselves, the Arhat path, they stop short of the highest way. The third is the highest which is the Boddhisatva path. The path of aspiration to bring all beings to enlightenment.
Bodhicitta, the desire that all beings are enlightened arise for the Bodhisattva out of one of Bodhisattva's characteristics which is boundless compassion. A Bodhisattva cannot bear it that beings suffer and out of this comes this boundless compassion.
Santideva (695—743) a great Buddhist mystic said the following about compassion and Bodhicitta;
"It is like the supreme gold-making elixir
For it transforms the unclean body we have taken
Into the priceless jewel of a buddha-Form
Therefore firmly seize this awakening mind
How can I fathom the depths
Of the goodness of this jewel of the mind
The panacea that relieves the world of pain
And is the source of all its joy"
Generating this deep compassion is not a simple thing or an idle thought, a 'wouldn't it be nice' type of thought. We all start with our self-concern and become the second type of person. With renunciation of only that self-concern and a turning round in the heart towards all sentient beings then compassion of the Bodhicitta way can open up.
There are different texts as to how this Bodhicitta path is arrived at. One is known as 'Exchanging self for Others'. First one meditates that all are like myself and are suffering like myself. That all wish to find happiness and end suffering. Then one meditates that each person individually is as important as myself and therefore as objectively there are many more others than I am, so as an aggregate others are more important than myself. Thus it is rational to consider others rather than always myself as is my tendency. Finally one can meditate on the problems and difficulties that arise when I consider only myself.
It is worth saying that to be completely altruistic is unrealistic and if we attempt it we are in the danger of being falling into the hell of the delusion of being a saviour. We ourselves are part of the all sentient beings and if we do not include ourselves in this wider compassion then we cannot change nor generate compassion for others. It is a question of inclusion and exclusion. In my usual way of doing things I only include others when it suits me and when it's pleasant and the rest are excluded. Real inclusion is to exclude no one,myself as well.
Santideva again:
"Hence I should dispel the misery of others
Because it is suffering just like my own
And I should benefit others
Because they are sentient beings like myself.
When both myself and others
Are similar in that we wish to be happy
What is so special about me
Why do I strive for my happiness alone?"
So skilful means and compassion are needed but all this can only come about if there is a third element, that of emptiness. Emptiness is the lack of self-nature in all things, in other words things do not exist independently. They do not arise of themselves but only due to causes and conditions. This is known as dependent arising.
In the Diamond Sutra it says:
'as many beings as there are in the universe of beings..all these I must lead to nirvana. And yet although innumerable beings have been lead to nirvana, no being at all has been lead to nirvana ….If in a Bodhisattva the notion of a being has taken hold he cannot be called a Bodhi-being. (Bodhi means enlightened)
The Bodhisattva in carrying out his infinitely compassionate deeds he does not consider that there is ultimately any inherently existing being that is helped. This is true selflessness. The contemplation that there no inherently existing beings that are helped cuts through any attachment. As the Buddha said suffering I teach and an end to suffering. It is the suffering itself that is brought to an end rather than the suffering of this special one or that one, it is rather the suffering that is present in the one at this moment.
There is a story of a Rabbi who hires a peasant girl to help out at home. One day his wife notices some things have gone missing. She tells the Rabbi that she is going to denounce the girl to the local tribunal. A few weeks later the Rabbi sees his wife putting on her coat. He asks her where she is going. She tells him that she is going to the court as the girl's case has come up. Oh he says getting up I'd better come with you. You don't need to come with me she replies I know what I have to say. The rabbi replied I am sure you do, but I don't think the peasant girl does.

Ald. Sophia King claimed victory Feb. 28, 2017, in Chicago's 4th Ward special election, avoiding a runoff contest against four challengers.
Appointed Ald. Sophia King claimed victory Tuesday night against four challengers in Chicago's 4th Ward special election and avoided a runoff contest.
With all precincts reporting, King had about 64 percent of the unofficial vote. A distant second was attorney Ebony Lucas, who was backed by about 18 percent of voters. Three other candidates hovered around 6 percent.
King boasted high-level endorsements, including former President Barack Obama, whom she calls a friend and neighbor; Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, the ward's former alderman; and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose Operation Rainbow/PUSH headquarters are in the ward. King acknowledged that support in her victory speech.
"I have to take a small moment to thank President Obama. History will tell, but I think he'll go down as one of the best presidents ever," King told about 100 supporters gathered at Little Black Pearl in North Kenwood. "I'm just happy to have known him that way."
King also talked up the 4th Ward as "a treasure."
"We have a long, beautiful political tradition, mostly an independent tradition I hope to pick up and revive," she said. "But friends, our city and neighborhoods are facing a lot of challenges. We can't stop working until every corner of this ward and this city can be traveled safely by our children. We have to take a hard look at ourselves and really ask how we got here."
The candidates were vying to serve out the remaining two years of the term of former Ald. Will Burns, who resigned last year to take a job with Airbnb. In April, Mayor Rahm Emanuel appointed King to the seat until Tuesday's special election.
Ald. Joe Moore, 49th, congratulates Ald. Sophia King as she celebrates her victory in a special election for the 4th Ward aldermanic seat at Little Black Pearl on Feb. 28, 2017.
King not only had the advantage of incumbency but also many high-level endorsements and an ample campaign fund. She collected campaign contributions approaching $250,000 — nearly three times as much as her opponents combined, which allowed her to blanket the ward with signs and bombard homes with mailers.
Even those advantages didn't guarantee an election night victory, however, given that an off-year special election in a single ward was expected to draw a small turnout — which came in at about 18 percent. In such a contest, a candidate with the ability to get voters to the polls can score an upset.
King's opponents in the 4th Ward, which stretches along the lakefront from the south tip of the Loop to the south edge of Hyde Park, tried to portray her as too beholden to the city powers that be, particularly Emanuel.
The mayoral appointee sought to counter that portrayal by noting her history as an educator and detailing her long community involvement. She is the former president of the Kenwood Park Advisory Council, helped create Ariel Community Academy and is president of Harriet's Daughters, a not-for-profit group she founded in 2010 "to secure opportunities for employment and creation of wealth among African-American communities."
As alderman, she's allied with neighboring Ald. Pat Dowell, 3rd, to expand Safe Passage routes to local schools and worked to ensure new retail outlets in her ward hired local residents.
King, a member of the City Council Progressive Reform Caucus that's often at odds with Emanuel, also pointed to situations in which she has voted with mayoral opponents during her 10-month stint on the City Council. Last week, she voted against the mayor's plan for spending unclaimed property-tax rebate money, contending more of the money should have gone directly to neighborhood crime-prevention efforts.


This is a marvelous 13th century icon of the holy Prophet Elias (Elijah) from St. Catherine's Monastery at the base of Mount Sinai. The Holy Prophet is standing with his arms upraised in prayer and supplication while a raven, sent by God, is flying towards him carrying bread to feed the prophet in the wilderness in a cave in the wadi halfway from Jerusalem to Jericho. This cave is now a chapel in the Monastery of St. George Chozebites, and the hole where the raven flew in is still visible.
The Holy Prophet Elias lived in the ninth century before Christ and had a fiery ministry before the Lord. He was called to correct King Ahab and his pagan wife Jezebel, who had defiled the Kingdom of Israel by the pollution of the worship of the idol Ba'al, and by listening to the false prophets of this false god. The more complete story of the Prophet Elias is found in I Kings, chapters 18 through 22. This icon shows a remarkable dynamic livelihood in the asymmetrical form which is still balanced in the position of the feet, hips, shoulders, hands and head. His eyes are looking inward and Godward. This is truly great Byzantine iconography.

David Hunt, 'Carol's Second Act' executive producer, accused of misconduct
News Source: USA Today
Author: Sara M. Moniuszko

Editor's note: The story and headline have been updated to clarify the nature of the accusations levied against "Carol's Second Act" executive producer David Hunt.
Two writers for "Carol's Second Act" quit the CBS show after one filed a misconduct complaint against executive producer David Hunt, according to The New York Times and Deadline.
Hunt is the husband of the show's star and executive producer, Patricia Heaton.
One of the writers, Broti Gupta, confirmed the Times report by sharing the article on her verified Twitter account (writing, "The story laid out here is true) and a thread about the allegations.
According to the outlets, Gupta accused Hunt of touching her inappropriately on two occasions in early September, hugging her twice from the side and running a hand up the side of her thigh. By mid-September, she left the show after feeling penalized for filing the complaint, she told the Times.
Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Hunt and Heaton, told the Times that Hunt didn't remember the details of the instances described and "does not recall rubbing anyone's thigh or leg and he disputes that characterization of it."
USA TODAY couldn't reach Freedman for comment.
Gupta, according to the Times and her tweets, first told writer and co-executive producer Margee Magee about the alleged behavior. Magee urged her to tell showrunners Sarah Haskins and Emily Halper. Magee resigned in October, saying she felt like her responsibilities on the show changed after she went to higher-ups regarding Gupta's complaint.
In a statement Saturday, the network confirmed "a claim of unprofessional behavior was made by a writer. The matter was promptly investigated by human resources, and appropriate action was taken to address the complaint. The executive producer cooperated fully with the process. The writer and producer decided to leave the show of their own accord."
In her Twitter thread, Gupta explained why she and Magee felt penalized.
"They admitted to Margee Magee in private that my reporting took us off set (a decision nobody asked for, a decision they made on their own) so when I learned that information, I realized that I had to leave – I can't work for bosses who lie to their extremely smart/talented staff," she wrote.
Gupta said, "Eventually, Margee left from their mistreatment of her and they started telling other people that Margee was doing this for attention and making my issue about her. They could not envision a world wherein I had an ally."
CBS defended the producers.
"We looked into allegations of retaliatory conduct by the showrunners at the time they were raised, and we found no evidence of retaliatory intent in their interactions with the writer or the producer," the statement said.
USA TODAY was unable to reach Gupta or Heaton for comment.

Why is cooking eggs so much harder when you have guests?
Many people believe that 'fight or flight' are the two most common human reactions in stressful situations. But this generalisation fails to represent the third response that ordinary people experience on the daily; cracking under pressure.
It doesn't matter if you have completed a task perfectly 1000 times; when you have witnesses, when you are relying on an easy execution or when put on the spot, you are going to crack under the pressure.
The size of your car does not matter nor does executing this move daily in a quiet lane. If there is someone in your passenger seat, or a street dotted with tables full of patrons, your parallel park simply will not be completed in two gear shifts. Ninety percent of the time you will pretend you didn't see the spot instead of attempting it. There is too much street cred to be lost by hitting the curb five times.
Your hair will always look its best when you wake up alone or are doing the grocery shopping in tracksuit pants. Trying to recreate the exact steps that shaped your perfect pyjama-messy up-do for your high-school reunion or your cousin's wedding won't cut it. You will look like you simultaneously spun around inside a washing machine and a clothes dryer. Your hair will never look as perfect as you want it to, when you want it to.
This whole scenario is one of the most socially awkward situations.
You have either finished laughing at someone's joke and proclaim you know the greatest joke in history... but you just can't remember it. Or, you are asked if you know any jokes and you proclaim that you know plenty. Except you can't remember them.
This can go one of two ways.
Familiar stranger: "Hi Lisa! I haven't seen you since the Christmas party, how are you?"
Me: "Bill! I'm well, how are you?"
Familiar stranger: "I don't know who Bill is, but Jim is just fine."
Me: "Crap, I know that guy coming over, but I can't remember his name"
Reliable friend: "That's okay, I will introduce myself"
Me: "Hello, this is my friend Rosie, this is...."
Reliable friend: "You're doing it wrong"
When you need to show a presentation or an awesome video on your YouTube account, you won't be able to. Because you have forgotten your password.
You have the same password for everything, don't you? No, you decided to get internet responsible that one time and now QWERTY won't cut it.
You will also forget your pin number when you owe people money and you will PUK your phone when you are intoxicated and isolated. Every. Single. Time.
Colleague: "Did you know that movie trailers were originally shown after the movie, which is why they are called "trailers?"
You: "Did you know that whales... sometimes, do stuff?"
How many solo fancy breakfasts have you made for yourself? How many times has the egg yolk dripped onto your plate just perfectly? But when cooking breakfast for a new partner or your family, your scrambled eggs will taste like greasy fish and your omelette will turn in to said scrambled eggs. The chicken may have come first after all.
Sleeping isn't a stressful activity, except when you don't want it to be. An early bedtime for your early flight in the morning will make no difference.
The three imaginary sheep you count (let's be honest, this is boring), the breathing exercises and your contemplation of how large the universe actually is won't help you. The best you can hope for is only waking up startled once every two hours rather than every 15 minutes.

Q: Changing observable array alters visibility of custom binding handler, knockoutjs Update: JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/OrganicCat/CjH87/6/
I have an area that is populated by a normal observable array, and when a button is clicked, an asynchronous service call is made that repopulates that array, but with more data.
This also causes a hidden dom element to display and displays some of that array data there.
Everything works fine until the observable array data is updated, it closes the hidden dom element. It is this event inside Knockout.js(library) that triggers it:
// Ignore writes if the value hasn't changed
    if ((!observable['equalityComparer']) || !observable['equalityComparer'](_latestValue, arguments[0])) {
    observable.valueWillMutate();
    _latestValue = arguments[0];
    if (DEBUG) observable._latestValue = _latestValue;
    observable.valueHasMutated(); // This event HERE

Is there a way to prevent this from closing the custom binding? Could anything in the binding be causing this? Here is my custom binding handler:
ko.bindingHandlers.expandAmenities = {
                init: function (element) {
                    $('.expandable.closed').hide();
                    $('.itineraryRowMain .t-go .toggle-expand-rowAmenities').unbind('click').on('click', function (e) {

                        var $itin_body = $(this).closest('.module-admin-group');
                        if ($itin_body.hasClass('closed')) {
                            $(this).parent().parent().next().show();
                            self.bindAmenities(); // Bind amenity details on open
                            //$(this).children().html('-');
                        } else {
                            $(this).parent().parent().next().hide();
                            //$(this).children().html('+');
                        }
                        $itin_body.toggleClass('open closed');
                    });
                }
            };

To summarize, the expand area has a clickable element that will show more data. When this updates the array (just a plain old self.listofStuff(arr);) this causes the new area to get hidden again.

A: I've figured out the answer. So the problem is that if you bind an array that generates DOM elements (like a list or whatever) and you have elements inside that array that you want to update without doing a .push and without resetting the entire array with self.myArray(newArray) then you have to use an observable variable within the array and update that.
When you modify the observable, it will not redraw the entire array, thereby keeping your dynamically altered elements (like visible/hidden divs within the DOM array) in the same state if they were altered by jQuery or whatever.

Wood kit built by Stephen Heppell on Malcolm Goodwin's jig.
This was the third of four mirrors built by Stephen Heppell . Stephen takes up the story "The first one - a standard Bell built kit, was Pootle. Then came Juliette Heppell's fast blue boat Ptwootle (two, get it?) which was spectacularly fast upwind and she sailed with her sister and then with single handed sailor Hannah Stodel, then came the pink Pthreetle sailed by Melissa Heppell who went onto 470s from there (super fast boat won lots also with next owner Emma Barry) and then finally Phourtle which was Toby Heppell's boat - he went onto 49ers and is now at Yachts and Yachting of course. All Brightlingsea boats back in the days when the town council created a Mirror Millennium garden in honour of the town's Mirror sailors!".
Wood hull, professionally built by Bell Woodworking . Painted & varnished by the owners.
Raced in the 70s & early 80s & repainted & revarnished at least once during this period.
Raced in the 70s and early 80s.
Mainly kept in a garage since then so in good condition.
Set of spares including battens and various other bits and pieces.
Sorry, no launching trailer (fell apart!) or road trailer (never had one).
Built by Winder Boats , Foam sandwich , white hull & decks.
She was sold to Jenny Clarke & family from Ripon SC in June.
Full Championship Spec, complete with combi road base and winder twin cradle launching trolley.

Fast boat in great condition, previous winner of ISC Mirrors 1 and Nationals silverware.
Contact Simon: 07979 522422 , location: Itchenor, West Sussex.
She is of wood construction.
She does however need some work doing to her before sailing. The bulkhead at the front of the cockpit needs replacing as does the foredeck starboard side due to rot. She also needs painting and varnishing.
Editor's note - it's fairly clear from the spinnaker setup, channel shroud fittings, laminated foils, enlarged transom scuppers, outhaul track on boom, Harper sails etc., that this boat has been raced to some extent in the past.

All Releases Artists Press Special Videos Media | filter
Visions, Tones and the State of 2019
Echobelly, Chick Corea, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Biohazard, Johnny Winter, The Allman Brothers Band, Das EFX, Terry Riley and Aphrodite's Child
First of all we wish you all the best for 2019. A new year of wonderful music and some incredible releases. Time to start off with a great record from the Britpop Era, Echobelly's second album On. Memorable songs and hooks, which nest into your head, that's the power of the band. On is available as a first pressing of 750 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl. Jazz pianist Chick Corea's wonderful jazz record Tones for Joan's Bones is his first record as a leader of a hard bop group. He had played piano for such jazz greats as Miles Davis, before he started working as a leader of his own groups. Mahavishnu Orchestra, one of the keystone bands of the jazz-rock fusion movement, released their album Visions of the Emerald Beyond in 1975. This album was a magnificent musical work of virtuosity at its highest level and proved that the 2nd Mahavishnu Orchestra line-up was as good as the original one.
Biohazard State of the World Address was their breakout from the underground into mainstream. Their musical style hasn't changed that much from the predecessors. The album is available as a limited edition of 1.000 individually numbered copies on silver coloured vinyl. Still Alive and Well was the long-awaited return album by the American blues rock guitarist Johnny Winter. It's a masterpiece of commanding guitar work, raw vocals, and with the perfect song selection a record every blues rock fan should own. The Allman Brothers Band's tenth studio album Shades of Two Worlds is a work where the group went back to their music improvisations. "Nobody Knows" is the standout track, with a jazzy jam with instrumental swells, extensive drum tracks, and dramatic lead vocals that recall the band's salad days.
The American hip hop duo Das EFX released their second album Straight Up Sewaside in 1993. The chemistry between Drayz and Skoob is present in their choice of wordplay. This release is available as a limited edition of 1.000 individually numbered copies on coloured (solid orange & gold mixed) vinyl. In C is a musical piece by the composer and performing musician Terry Riley. As one of the first minimalist compositions and a highlight of this genre it's a response to the modern music that dominated the scene in 1968. In C's 50th anniversary is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on transparent vinyl. Aphrodite's Child's last album 666 is a masterpiece and their most critically acclaimed album. It took more than a year to finish and by the time it was released, in 1972, the band had already split up. 666 is available as a limited first pressing of 2.000 individually numbered copies on transparent red vinyl.
The winners of our Breaking Bad contest have been announced on our Facebook channel.

VISIONS OF THE EMERALD BEYOND
Mahavishnu Orchestra was one of the keystone bands of the jazz-rock fusion movement. Their 1975 album Visions of the Emerald Beyond is a more accessible album, consisting of shorter jazz-rock tracks. The songs are connected with each other and even got some influences from the funk music of that time.
SHADES OF TWO WORLDS
The Allman Brothers Band was one of America's greatest Southern rock bands. Shades of Two Worlds, their tenth studio album, is a work where the group went back to their music improvisations. They largely infused hints of the blues, jazz, and country into their music.
10th Studio album
Feat. "Nobody Knows", "Kind of Bird" and "Get On with Your Life"
TERRY RILEY & MEMBERS OF THE CREATIVE & PERFORMING ARTS (SUNY-BUFFALO)
IN C
In C is a musical piece by the composer and performing musician Terry Riley. In C consists of repeating cells and different rhythms, loosely based on the musical structures he had heard and loved in north African music. For listeners with a sympathy for minimalism it's a wild and impressive work, full of energy.

Aaron Laine
Founder/President
Design Visionary | Creative | Meticulous | Life Enthusiast
Born in Carmel, California, Aaron Laine was destined for a career involving custom and resplendent living spaces. Early influences of the spectacular Pacific coastline, surrounding nature, modernist architecture and the area's maker community played a seminal role in his upbringing.
While his artist grandmother instilled an appreciation of color, texture, and the importance of good tailoring, his parents imparted more practical traits of responsibility and a strong work ethic. Entrepreneurship was evident even in childhood, when he chose to sell eggs and flowers door to door. His tireless spirit, dedication and ease in connecting with people would prove to be invaluable characteristics.
As a teenager, his family moved to Texas where he embraced his new home in Houston. Aaron showed a talent for making things and a fascination with process and material. The self-starter funded his own college education, working several jobs while attending class. An opportunity volunteering for ASID formalized his career choice and a design internship followed. This led to sales positions at leading bath showrooms. Adept with customers and showing a flair for style, he soon became immersed in plumbing. This not only revealed a thorough understanding of product specifics and, mechanics, but also a natural ability to communicate with tradesmen and contractors.
Utilizing his business acumen and design expertise, he established the to-the-trade showroom Fixtures & Fittings in 2009. Despite the difficult economic climate, he remained committed to core beliefs, prioritizing people over products and delivering seamless and uncompromising work. He also emphasized designing for the complete luxury home beyond kitchens and baths. The business thrived and, in 2011, he moved to a larger location and began building a team with Mindy Carter Martin as Vice President.
Aaron expertly guides the curation and displays at Fixtures & Fittings. The hope is that visitors will be transported to another place and leave inspired similar to visiting a gallery or museum. He gleans inspiration from myriad sources–art, travel, architecture, antiques and all things modern. An avid collector, he loves vintage glass, match strikers, lighters, Lucite and has a penchant for suits. When not at work or at the gym, he can be found escaping to the sanctity of his home or ranch. He and his partner and their adorable Golden Doodle Flora Mae spend weekends at the ranch raising cows and chickens. Driving a tractor is a spiritual cleanser of sorts, allowing him the time and space to think about the business, his next trip or simply enjoy old-time country western music.
Today, Fixtures & Fittings remains an asset to the Houston design community. Laine has prided the company in not only offering exquisitely-made products, but, more important, in providing the inspiration, dedicated service and steadfast capability that results in a bespoke and beloved environment, one space at a time.
Mindy Carter Martin
Collaborator in Chief | Prodigious | Multi-Tasker | Mood Adjuster
Mindy Carter Martin is a native Texan. As a child, she and her family moved to Michigan before realizing that the Lone Star State was home and returned to Houston. Her mother surrounded the family with a love of art and antiques, infusing imagination to every space and using their home as a canvas of expression and color.
The eldest of four, Mindy helped care for her siblings and held jobs outside the home from the age of 10 onward. Working not only served as a source of freedom and stability for her, but also of independence and a means of achieving her goals. A job at a craft store was instrumental in not only exposing her to pottery, paper and textiles, but also in seeing how a small business was run and how a space can serve a need for community and interaction.
After completing her education, Mindy went on to work in various in high-end sales and customer service positions. Regardless of the industry, she thrived in rigorous settings and fully immersed herself in tasks, expertly managing details, individuals and challenging situations.
Meeting Aaron Laine nearly 20 years ago proved to be an enriching and long-lasting working relationship. Together, they were both employed at a high-end food retailer and a Houston kitchen and bath showroom. For Mindy, this not only reinforced her talents, but also revealed additional skills in project management, curating product, devising solutions and overseeing budgets.
She joined Fixtures & Fittings, a to-the-trade, showroom, in 2011 as Vice President. She is beloved by her clients and is excited by the prospect of creating interiors for homeowners, many of whom she has known for as many as 10 or 15 years. She shares in the company's philosophy about the importance of engaging with customers and delivering a flawless result that exceeds expectations.
Mindy is passionate about her work and adores her two children and two step children, husband and two chocolate Labrador retrievers. When not at the office, she can be found at her lakeside cabin, cooking, grilling and spending time outdoors. Inspired by travel and art, she also loves horses and dreams of owning one in the near future.

Tomorrow as a matter of fact.
Some of you have started already, you may even be into the routine, but for me, school doesn't start until after Labor Day.
The blank canvas is a beautifully overwhelming expanse. Much like the school dreams that have threatened my sleep as of late, there is much possibility and potential.
Remembering my early years, not knowing what to expect, I firmly cling to the amazing experiences I have developed over the last 13 years. There is still so much that can offer surprise, but that is what I love about teaching; it never gets boring.
Each year since the beginning of my career different challenges have unearthed themselves, but with the help of my students, colleagues and friends, I've managed to navigate them in ways that have made me a better person and teacher.
Much in the same way we expect students to explore and discover the world around them, I have made it my mission to lead by example, awkwardly making mistakes, admitting them and learning from them.
My beliefs about education has changed too. In the past, I was vehemently attached to the idea of justice and kids being treated equally. Lateness was not tolerated. Grades were of the utmost of importance and kids who took the initiative to do extra credit received it.
Man, was I wrong about all of that. Equal means all kids get what they need and that is NOT the same and may not be equal. Learning happens at different paces and therefore expecting kids to reach the same proficiency at the same time is unfair. We need to be flexible and this year, I intend to be.
Achievement has to do with proficiency and mastery of skills, not grades. The grades are just a means of communicating and often don't do the best job in that communication. Too often, kids are obsessed with their grades and not with the actual learning. This year, conversations and understanding of achievement will be a priority despite the discomfort it may cause.
Extra credit dirties the water. Doing more or helping out, doesn't actually show what students know and can do and therefore it has no place in education. Kids need to keep getting more practice to show mastery, but grades or value shouldn't be a part of that experience.
This year is going to be a learning experience for everyone. Since the students will have a large say in what happens in the classroom, their input is paramount to our shared experience. I'm not afraid to take the risks and then reflect and adjust accordingly.
Here's to the hope of the blank canvas being filled with authentic learning.
What will your canvas look like?


Hanna aka. "The Swede", fell in love with web design at the young age of 12 when she had an intricate dream involving illustrator and HTML codes. Remaining true to her childhood fantasies, today Hanna works on UI/UX design making sure that our website and platform look and feel as smooth and intuitive as building an IKEA bedroom set.
After graduating from Jönköping University in Sweden and receiving a degree in graphic design and web development, she relocated to Dubai in 2014 because apparently she thought the weather here was "waaay better" (little did she know). A typical day in the life includes coordinating efforts with the tech team to provide Bayzat Benefits users with an exceptional interface experience. As the 7th person to join the Bayzat family and easily one of the friendliest and most pleasant people in the office, Hanna's cool demeanour has earned her the utmost respect of everyone in the office.
When she's not busy designing everything from killer visuals to sleek platforms, Hanna enjoys talking about meatballs, Volvo, snow, and taxes. On the weekend, you'll likely find her indulging one of her two favourite hobbies: Shopping and pizza. Often at the same time.
3 HR Headaches That You Can No Longer Afford To Ignore.

No turning back for Zimbabwe, but is it the start of real change?
At long last, the big day has nearly arrived. Since Zimbabwe's November 2017 political transition, the entire country has been preparing for elections that will be held on Monday 30 July 2018.
They represent a clean break from the past. For two decades, Zimbabweans have suffered from disastrous economic policy-making and bouts of political repression that have impoverished the nation, forced millions into economic exile, and brought on targeted Western sanctions that have deprived the country of external investment. Whoever wins power next Monday (or possibly in a September run-off) – ZANU-PF incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa or MDC Alliance candidate Nelson Chamisa – will inherit billions of dollars of debt, critical shortages of foreign exchange, rickety infrastructure, and the need to make politically painful cuts to a bloated civil service and state-owned enterprises.
This might sound like a poisoned chalice for the victor. Indeed, this situation will require skilled leadership and difficult choices to right the listing economy. However, even taking into account these difficulties, Zimbabwe is on the cusp of a bright future. The trick will be creating a policy environment that can take advantage of the country's bountiful natural and human resources. If the new government can do so, Zimbabwe should emerge as the continent's most exciting investment destination for the next decade or more.
Encouragingly, both the MDC and ZANU-PF are running on broadly pro-market platforms that emphasise the need to draw in outside investment to grow the economy. In fact, there are relatively few substantive differences between the two, with the MDC's call to join the Rand Zone the only notable point of departure between them. For the MDC, this is no surprise; the party has taken pro-market positions since its inception in 1999, opposing government policies around land expropriation and indigenisation that have contributed to the economy's ruin.
For ZANU-PF, however, this represents a far more drastic shift. Under Robert Mugabe's leadership from independence in 1980 until last November, the ZANU-PF government was characterised by broadly socialist policies, ostensibly introduced to improve the lives of Zimbabweans but often implemented to reward cronies and punish enemies. The past decade was marked by high degrees of inconsistency, opacity, and uncertainty around policy formulation – spooking what few investors remained – as well as mounting corruption.
The November transition, however, brought a drastic shift. Almost overnight, once die-hard Marxist-Leninists changed their tunes, echoing President Mnangagwa's rhetoric around the need to draw in outside investment and create a business-friendly environment that could transform Zimbabwe into the "Singapore of Africa." More tellingly, words have been matched by deeds. The past eight months have brought some sweeping changes: the scrapping of 51 percent local ownership in all but a handful of sectors; the introduction of bankable 99-year leases to reinvigorate the agricultural sector; the announcement of plans to privatise parastatals; and even cuts to the civil service.
Several businesspeople, Zimbabwean and expatriate, have told me in recent months how open and responsive senior government officials have been in discussions. A distinct shift in how the ruling party operated in the past. Again, the structural headwinds left over from decades of misgovernance by the Mugabe regime are enormous, with the country depleted of foreign exchange, strapped with a massive debt burden, and served by crumbling infrastructure. No matter who wins the election, necessity will force them to fully embrace sweeping economic reforms.
Of course, the real question with ZANU-PF is a simple one. Can it be trusted to continue these efforts if Mnangagwa wins Monday's election and the party a majority of seats in parliament? There are several reasons that I believe it can. First, my conversations with senior party members suggest to me that they genuinely do understand the need to put in place sensible policies, both for the country broadly and (in many cases) for their own business interests. Secondly, they seem to truly understand that while ZANU-PF may win a narrow victory this time, continued economic stagnation will doom the party to obsolescence the next time around. And lastly, I am aware of additional reforms that a ZANU-PF government is likely to roll out immediately after the election, notably around privatization and streamlining government economic decision-making. Ultimately, the ruling party has painted itself into a corner, and its leaders realise that only drastic action will allow it to escape.
Still, all of these positive actions and rhetoric are moot without a clean election on Monday that is acceptable to both international donors and investors. So far, with the exception of some questions around the voter roll and the grenade attack on the Mnangagwa rally last month, the election process has gone relatively smoothly. The violence and intimidation of past polls are gone. The government must now ensure that vote counting is done in an open and transparent manner, and that the military accepts the election results no matter what they may be. This is absolutely necessary for Western governments to endorse the result and, ultimately, lift targeted sanctions and allow Zimbabwe to fully rejoin the international community. Without this, Western businesses will remain hesitant to invest.
It really all comes down to Monday. The door is open for Zimbabwe to properly rejoin the international community and see its economy take off, no matter who wins power. The government must now ensure that in the coming days, it takes all the right steps.

Cradled in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, about a four hour drive west of Denver, Aspen is perhaps just as well known for its world class skiing as it is for its stereotypes. While popular culture would have you believe that Aspen is simply a heaven for the world's fur-clad 1% and the setting for wintertime celebrity paparazzi shots, that's far from the truth.
Yes, it's beyond easy to live the good life in Aspen, and yes Aspen is home to amazing hotels, dining and nightlife that alone can make a trip here worthwhile. But at its core, Aspen is all about the outdoors and bringing people together (regardless of their socioeconomic status) around a common love — nature. No matter the season, Aspen and the surrounding area is jam packed with enough outdoor adventures to keep even the most experienced adrenaline junkie coming back for more. Yet every year, from early December to early April, it's Aspen's winter ski season that ultimately steals the show.
With four unique mountains, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk, all located within close proximity and connected by a free public shuttle, the skiing and snowboarding here is seemingly endless.
So to see for myself what Aspen was really like, and to spend as much time as I could skiing and snowboarding over the course of a long weekend, I hopped on a direct flight from Los Angeles to Aspen (Aspen Airport is only minutes from the slopes). But before taking off, I had to gear up with the right clothing to stay comfortable and warm — and if said clothing also made me one of Aspen's best dressed guys, then so be it.
Luckily I partnered up with the good people over at Eddie Bauer and Travel + Leisure who provided me with the best of the best from Eddie Bauer's lineup of winter gear — including their Neoteric Shell Jacket, Radiator Fleece Hybrid 1/4 Zip Pullover, Claim Touchscreen Gloves, Convector Jacket and Snowqualmie Pass Boots.
The temperature and conditions varied drastically during my stay, from a warm and sunny Saturday spent at Aspen Mountain (known to locals as Ajax), to a cold Sunday full of continuously falling fresh powder spent at Aspen Highlands. On both days I felt perfectly outfitted and 100% ready to take on the slopes.
Enter for a chance to win a Neoteric Shell Jacket (just like this one) and more on Eddie Bauer's Facebook page.
Here's a little more about my experience with the items featured above. And to help you determine what size might fit you best, I've listed the size I'm wearing in the photos (for reference, I'm 6ft tall with a 31″ waist).
Snowqualmie Pass Boots - Built for taking on serious snow and cold, these ultra waterproof boots are all you need — whether walking around Aspen after/during a snowstorm or trekking through a snowy backcountry.
Thanks to my buddy Scott for taking all these photos!

Legal Probes Multiply Against Former Argentine President Cristina Kirchner
Ex-Leader faces series of serious criminal allegations, heightening tensions in polarized country

BUENOS AIRES—Five months after leaving office as one of the most powerful Argentine leaders in decades, former President Cristina Kirchner finds herself fending off a series of serious criminal allegations, further ratcheting up tensions in the already polarized country.
Mrs. Kirchner's attorney vowed on Monday to defend her against charges that she ordered Argentina's central bank to illegally trade derivatives, costing the country around $5.5 billion. The "unfaithful administration" charges, leveled at Mrs. Kirchner on Friday by Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio, could entail a sentence of up to six years in prison. She denies wrongdoing.
The indictment against Mrs. Kirchner, who was often accused of exerting improper influence over the judiciary during her tenure, is the latest in a series of rapidly advancing criminal cases that could trigger further formal charges against her.
"If the judicial branch acts independently, the possible accumulation of indictments and convictions could end up with her in jail," said Ricardo Monner Sans, a prominent Argentine lawyer and anticorruption activist. "But we are years away from that."
Mr. Sans filed a criminal complaint against former President Carlos Menem in 1995 for his alleged involvement in smuggling arms to Croatia and Ecuador in the 1990s. A court sentenced him in 2013 to seven years in prison, but Mr. Menem remains free and the case is continuing through a long appeals process.

Deforestation is a leading cause of biodiversity loss and an important source of global carbon emissions. This means that there are important synergies between climate policy and conservation policy. The highest rates of deforestation occur in tropical countries, where much of the land at the forest frontier is managed informally by smallholders and where governance systems tend to be weak. These features must be considered when designing policies to reduce emissions from deforestation such as REDD +. Deforestation is often accompanied by fires that release large amounts of carbon dioxide. These emissions are especially high in the case of peatlands which contain thick layers of carbon-rich matter. In this paper we derive marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves using data from a farmer survey in Sumatra, where rates of peatland deforestation are high. Comparing these results with farmers' stated willingness to accept payment not to clear forest to establish oil palm suggests that REDD+ policies may be more expensive than MAC estimates suggest The extent to which this is true depends on the types of soils being deforested.

Tarian Cymru fundraising group supplies first PPE to Wales' health and care workers
23 Apr 2020 3 minute read
Hospital staff receive Tarian Cymru PPE Equipment
Equipment purchased by a new campaign group formed to raise money to protect frontline Welsh health workers is now being used in hospitals and GP surgeries.
Tarian Cymru has already raised over £18,000 towards buying personal protective equipment (PPE) and the first 600 visors arrived and have been distributed around Wales this week.
The fundraising campaign is run as a crowd-funding initiative on the GoFundMe platform, with a team of volunteers working to get the right PPE to the workers who need it most.
The first order was immediately distributed to individual boxes and sent out to the hospitals and surgeries throughout Wales who have requested them on the Tarian Cymru website.
Tarian Cymru also distributed three large orders of gloves, before receiving 700 more visors for distribution.
"More orders are on their way," said Iestyn ap Dafydd, one of Tarian Cymru's volunteers. "There are more gloves coming, and we've ordered masks and a huge load of medical gowns. There is a high demand for them, and stories in the news every night about the severe lack of this equipment."
The campaign group is also encouraging people to share the donation link online via a website, podcast, Facebook group, WhatsApp or Twitter account.
They are also calling on musicians to put together songs to drum up interest and artists to donate art that could be auctioned to raise more money.
During this week, there is also an online auction to raise funds. Bids are being received all week on 14 items on the Tarian Cymru Facebook page, with the aim of raising additional funds. Several other schemes are also in the pipeline to boost the funding available.
"The Tarian Cymru campaign needs donations – there is more demand for equipment than there is money to buy at the moment," Iestyn ap Dafydd said.
"And to spend the money in the best way possible, we need health and care professionals to continue to fill in the form on tarian.cymru to ask for the protective equipment that they need.
"We order what health and care workers say they want via our website. The thing is, prices are constantly changing. If we don't have the money when equipment is available at a reasonable price, we have to wait, and people who have asked for help have to carry on without the equipment. I can't over-emphasise: We need donations, and we need them now, to continue to protect people, and save lives.
"For us to get the most out of the campaign, people should carry on spreading the message throughout Wales, so we can raise as much money as possible, to protect as many health workers as possible."

Compassus – Meridian Honors Local Veterans At Pinning Ceremony
MERIDIAN, Idaho – The Compassus program serving Meridian and the surrounding areas this week honored local veterans Roger Guernsey and Gene Hollingsworth for their military service in separate pinning ceremonies at Copper Springs Senior Living in Meridian and Edgewood Spring Creek Eagle Island in Eagle, Idaho. The ceremonies to publicly acknowledge the service and sacrifices of the two men included the presentation of a pin and certificate of recognition by fellow veteran and Compassus–Meridian volunteer Tammy Clement.
"The courageous service of our veterans and their colorful memories of defending our nation at home and abroad should be treasured, and Compassus is pleased to show appreciation for individuals like Roger Guernsey and Gene Hollingsworth, who are among our community's most valuable members," said Victoria Brutsman, executive director of Compassus–Meridian.
Many Americans do not realize that one out of four U.S. deaths is of a military veteran. Compassus–Meridian is a We Honor Veterans hospice program, providing specialized care to veterans facing a life-limiting illness. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs created We Honor Veterans to empower hospice and other healthcare providers across the country to meet the unique needs of seriously ill veterans and their families.
"We Honor Veterans helps hospice professionals and volunteers better understand and serve veterans at the end of life," said Clement, who has been a volunteer with Compassus for five years. "The program allows us to acquire the necessary skills to fulfill our mission to serve and honor these men and women with the dignity they deserve. The pinning ceremony is a formal way to acknowledge a veteran's service and the meaning of that service to their life."
Guernsey, an Onaway, Idaho, native, served in General George Patton's Third Army, the 94th Infantry Division. He spent 21 months oversees during World War II, participating in the Battle of the Bulge. Back in the U.S., Guernsey joined the National Guard as a first lieutenant, and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After leaving his position in the National Guard, Guernsey served as state forester in Boise for 18 years and was also a member of the state legislature.
Hollingsworth enlisted in the Air Force as a pilot cadet in 1956, starting as a B-47 pilot and working up to a helicopter pilot until he was discharged in 1976. During the Vietnam War, he flew a total of 91 missions in the HH53, affectionately known as the "Jolly Green Giant." His crew is the highest decorated squadron to date. His Air Force decorations and awards include: Air Force Commendation Medal, Airman's Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross, reserved for those distinguished by "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight."
NHPCO and the VA invite hospice providers to pursue four levels of partnership with the We Honor Veterans program. The first level demonstrates a provider's commitment to provide relevant education and training for staff and volunteers, and to identify patients with military experience. Subsequent levels require additional education and training, and other activities including community education and outreach to veterans organizations, establishing veteran-specific policies and procedures, and seeking local partnerships with veteran organizations. Compassus – Meridian is a Level 4 Partner, having achieved the program's highest level of partnership and commitment.
NHPCO is the largest nonprofit membership organization representing hospice and palliative care programs and professionals in the U.S. The organization is committed to improving end of life care and expanding access to hospice care with the goal of profoundly enhancing quality of life for people dying in America and their loved ones.
The mission of the VA is to fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's veterans.

A journal of the nocturnal adventures of Fynes Harte-Harrington exploring the myriad delights of nightlife in London and Paris, and elsewhere, in the Jazz Age of the 1920s.
There is a story thread running through which binds the narrative with an immense cast of famous and fictious characters and much detail about frocks, frolics, stage shows, cabarets, dancing, music, jazz bands, restaurants, silent films, exotic locations, gossip and not least of all romance!
This is an area of the 1920s that has been completely neglected and much of the information has never appeared in print before so the blog uncovers a hidden social history, primarily of cabaret and entertainment. It is also relevant and timely because of the current vogue for ballroom dancing and cabaret.
The intention is to provide a valuable resource about the Jazz Age that will show what fun life must have been like in the period – if you had a big cheque book and diamonds of course!

It's been a rather busy and momentous month, so i'm way behind on reporting on the annuals for grazing and pasture improvement project. Here are photos of growth at 60 days. Turned the cows in on August 1, 2017. Yah willing, my final report will be coming soon. It will take some number crunching and analysis, so will be several days, but i'm ready to put paid to this project.
