The search is now on for 500 new Panel Members. Led by Children's Hearings Scotland (CHS), the campaign will run until 25 September.
"Without the support and commitment of our volunteers, there wouldn't be a Hearings System in Scotland. The role is unique, and those who give their time are unswerving in their dedication to improve the lives of those children and young people who are vulnerable or troubled.
"This year, we want to be clear about the commitment involved in being a Panel Member in a bid to ensure people who apply understand what being a Panel Member involves. We're indebted to the many employers who give their employees time off to attend Children's Hearings, and would encourage potential applicants to talk to their employer prior to applying.

The inside of my car already smells like fast food. Now my whole HOUSE can too?
A Tennessee man was jailed on felony charges after allegedly dipping his testicles into a container of salsa.
KFC just started testing a new item called the Cheetos Sandwich, and it's next level.
If only I liked hot salsa instead of mild pico de gallo, THEN I'd be cool.
If beer turns out to be the miracle cure we've been searching for, then going to the doctor's office is going to be way more entertaining.
Advertising that's centered around free liquid cheese? I am so down for that, where does the line start?


This vegetarian, middle-eastern inspired recipe is great as a side dish with roasted meats.
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Bring a large pan of water the boil. Add the parsnips, bring back to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Tip into a dry, clean tea towel and gently pat dry.
Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and place in the oven for 5 minutes, until hot.
Meanwhile, put the harissa into a large bowl and gently toss through the parsnips until coated. Tip into the hot oil and roast for 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden.
Place the yogurt in a small bowl, add the garlic and season generously. Put the parsnips onto a serving plate and drizzle the yogurt dressing over. Scatter over the preserved lemons and parsley to serve.


Peter almost always requests German Chocolate Cake for his birthday. Since Nick and Gus often want same thing and Nathaniel's flexible, I've baked 2-3 dozen over the (GF) years. Inspired by a recent copy of Cooks Illustrated magazine and the integrity of dessert crusts we've been making from nuts and dried fruit, I decided to use ingredients that define the icing of a conventional German Chocolate Cake as the basis of a crust for chocolate tart.
If you've been reading along (if you've made Uncle Howard's Chocolate Ganache Tart) you know nut crusts are fast, easy, healthy, delicious, and satisfying. This one is different in that it's baked for 20 minutes prior to filling to set the crust and enhance the flavor of the coconut.
Make this the day before or morning of your event as baking, cooling, chilling, glazing will all take 6-7 hours of inactive time, but it'll be worth it!
2. Combine the crust ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture if fairly fine and will hold together when pressed.
3. Turn into a 10″ tart pan and press the (dough) evenly and firmly onto the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 325 F. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 250F.
4. While the crust is cooking the heavy cream and salt in a medium sauce pan over a medium heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, and cover for 5 minutes.
5. Gently and slowly whisk the melted chocolate into the hot cream taking care not to encourage the formation of bubbles. When the chocolate is evenly incorporated begin adding the butter, piece by piece, stirring the same way.
6. Add the almond extract to the beaten eggs. Strain the egg mixture into the chocolate (using a wire mesh strainer to remove any firm bits of egg). Again, stir gently, slowly, and in the same direction to blend.
7. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture onto the crust, again taking care not to encourage the formation of bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake on a baking sheet (to evenly distribute the heat) at 250 F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet on a wire rack. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 3 hours and up to 18. Longer is better.
8. To make the coconut pecan topping, combine the sugar, cream, and egg yolk in a heavy sauce pan. Whisk to blend. Add the pieces of butter and cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Do not boil. Remove from the heat and add the coconut, pecans, almond extract, and sea salt. This can be made ahead and refrigerated, but should be served at warm or at room temperature.
9. To serve: top slices of the tart with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream topped with a tablespoon of the coconut pecan sauce.

Always looking for new ways to feel great and try something new; this is me in a nutshell. So naturally, it doesn't take me too long latch on to the idea of attending a fitness retreat . A quick search on Instagram reveals over 1.5 million pictures tagged with #fitnessretreat. From CrossFit athletes and yogis, to corporates and students in need of a break, people from all walks of life are looking towards new and more meaningful ways to spend their downtime.
Are just like those adventurous souls, wanting to break out of your usual fitness habits that have left you uninspired? It is almost certain that a fitness getaway is calling your name, it can be an excellent way to meet new people, get in shape, and also have fun.
Our latest trip to the hills was just what the holistic doctor ordered; a three-day, two-night Seek and Sweat Retreat in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The retreat was organized by Ketanga Fitness Retreats, an organization dedicated to making fitness and travel a viable option for anyone. They currently have 9 retreats available on their site, from boot camps in Costa Rica to yoga in Ireland. This particular retreat was to be led by Jenna Muller and Steve Feinberg. They promised a great weekend with their positive energy and combined expertise in dance, pilates, barre, speedball, general cardio training, and more.
Cultural activities: castle visit, local restaurants, and more!
The arrival was at 11am on Thursday and the group was treated to a delicious vegetarian lunch and an introduction to the weekend in New Hope, PA – home base for the trip. After a bit of time to digest, the "Sweat" part of the retreat started with an intense 7-mile bike ride around the Delaware River. The rigorous climb was breathtaking, but not nearly as much as the views of the river, with Pennsylvania and New Jersey on either side. Back at the residence, everyone was eager to recharge the batteries with some light exploring. To cap off the night, the group met for drinks, ending the challenging day on a high note.
The action started again bright and early on Friday morning, with a 7 am Hip Hop Box class before breakfast. What a way to get your blood pumping. After breakfast, it was off to the hills for a hike through Peace Valley Park that ended at the beautiful Lake Galena. Have you ever performed your Savasana pose on the shore of a lake? It is absolutely incredible, and it's hard to come by a more relaxing spot.
If you have the chance for a pause in this area, you must spend some time trawling through the items at the local thrift shop, "In Full Swing". You will be pleasantly surprised by your findings. They have an excellent range of products, including vintage clothes. Even better, all items purchased from In Full Swing go directly to support victims of domestic violence in Bucks County.
Back with the group, it was time for lunch in downtown Doylestown. Doylestown also happens to be the home of archaeologist Henry Chapman Mercer. Henry's home is definitely a must see in the area. It houses an incredible collection of artifacts and brings the Industrial Revolution to life. The tour also included his old home, the Fonthill Castle, a walk through the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works.
Buckingham Valley Vineyards was next on the list. At the vineyard it was time to unroll the yoga mats again, and this time beside rows of grapevines. The focus for today's session was pilates. If you've ever watched people doing mat pilates, you might think they're doing yoga, but you'll be very surprised if you join in. It's more of a calisthenics based workout that will really make your muscles shake. Luckily, the grapes nearby help to keep your eyes on the prize, a wine tasting session. The day closed with a wonderful meal at the Hattery Stove and Still in Doylestown, a small boutique restaurant with a very unique atmosphere.
After such a full second day, the final morning was spent enjoying a stand-up paddleboarding class on the river in lower Bucks County. The activity was lead by the staff at Driftwood Water Adventures, who were excellent at getting us up and away on our boards. This class was a fun and exciting experience for everyone; a few of the first timers will surely be scheduling their next session again soon. After a short adventure on the river (and a lot of splashing around in the water) the group dried off, packed up, and were free to rejoin the world.
Paddleboarding is so much fun!
On leaving Bucks County, I reflected on how I felt before and after the retreat. Riding on the train home, I felt strong, accomplished, and rejuvenated, ready to take on the world I'd left behind.
I also left decisive that fitness retreats are the perfect style of vacation. This experience really allowed me the opportunity to relax and getaway from reality, while giving me the chance to catch up on the exercise that my body needs and so greatly craves. When I'm stuck in the midst of the daily grind, unfortunately, my health routine sometimes gets derailed. My ultimate "me time" is when I have the available hours and a peaceful space to help me get back into my groove, and also get involved in activities that make me feel great. It's a bonus when I can meet awesome like-minded people at the same time.
This is the year to put yourself out there and try something new, and there is nothing more invigorating than switching up your vacations. When you mix fitness business and leisure you end up with a truly well rounded experience, and that is the type of vacation we all need.
Special thanks to the BVisit Bucks County Tourism for facilitating this trip.

Astroworld Tragedy: Families Turn Down Money From Travis Scott
Families refuse money from Travis Scott
Travis Scott now has to answer in court.
© Image Press Agency/ImageCollect
The families of victims of the Astroworld disaster become clear: They don't want Travis Scott to pay for the funerals. That is humiliating.
Full broadside of the families of victims of the Astroworld tragedy against rapper Travis Scott (30). Just three days after the accident in which ten people died, Scott announced that he would pay for the funerals. Some of the bereaved now rejected this suggestion, sometimes with clear words. This is reported by the music magazine "Rolling Stone". Among other things, the family of the youngest, nine-year-old victim announced that they would not accept the money.
One wants to let the courts decide which measures would be fair to the victims. Another four victim families made the same decision, it is said. "It wasn't an offer that we seriously considered," said one of the lawyers. In addition, the funeral expenses are the least of his clients' worries. For the bereaved, the main thing is that such a disaster can never happen again.
Travis Scott's offer is "degrading and inappropriate"
Scott's offer was "degrading and inappropriate" given the scale of the tragedy. Another attorney was also made clear about the offer: "Let the families grieve and shut up," he told Scott. His clients did not want to reimburse any costs for the funeral either. Scott's legal team has not yet made a statement on this matter.
The tragedy occurred on November 9th at the Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. During a performance by the rapper, who is himself one of the initiators of the event, there was a mass panic. Ten people died and hundreds more were injured, some seriously. At least 125 victims are now trying to bring both the organizing company and Travis Scott himself to justice. According to media reports, the total compensation claimed has so far been around 660 million euros.

Jabbawockeez to Kinjaz: Ben Chung
Taking Dance from One Generation to the Next
From dancing as a hobby to performing on the big stage in dance crews, Ben Chung has made a name and a place for himself in the dance world. Chung started out practicing and performing with friends in local competitions around 2000 to 2001. Several years later in 2007, Chung joined the Jabbawockeez dance crew and shined on the stage and screen when the Jabbawockeez won the America's Best Dance Crew T.V. competition in 2008 and 2010. His successes did not stop with those victories though, as he later moved on to the Kinjaz dance crew and helped bring them to prominence when the crew made it to the finals in Season 8 of America's Best Dance Crew. With Kinjaz, Chung has traveled around the world teaching and learning about dance moves from dancers of other cultures. Back home in the United States, he works on developing and maintaining the Kinjaz dance studio where he hopes to pass on his techniques and experiences to a new generation of dancers. Chung still dances himself, but he looks ahead to a future where he can more strategically help Kinjaz make its mark on the dancing world just as the Jabbawockeez did years before. If anything, he wants Kinjaz to be even bigger than his old dance crew to the point where Kinjaz dazzles audiences across the globe with fantastically choreographed moves. Seoul Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie spoke with Ben Chung about Chung's origins in dance, his transition from the Jabbawockeez to Kinjaz and how he wants to make dance a positive creative force that benefits future generations of dancers.

U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert
U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea: Building Lasting Relations
When it comes to international relations, Mark Lippert, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, comes with a wealth of experience. He has served as a foreign policy advisor to various Senators and Senate Committees, including his work as the Foreign Policy Advisor for then-Senator Obama from 2005 to 2008. After Mr. Obama was elected as president, Mr. Lippert served him as Deputy Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff for the National Security Council. Mr. Lippert left Washington from 2009 to 2011 to be on active duty in the United States Navy, and upon his return, held senior positions in the Department of Defense. In 2014, he was appointed as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Korea. Since then, he has served his country as a representative to build and maintain peaceful relations between the two countries. On March 5th, 2015 during an event organized by the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, which advocates peaceful reunification between North and South Korea, a man named Ki-Jong Kim, who was protesting annual joint military drills between South Korea and the U.S. military, slashed Ambassador Lippert in the face and jaw shortly before the ambassador was supposed to give a speech. The gash required 80 stitches. In addition, the ambassador was also slashed five times on his left arm and hand. Ki-Jong Kim was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempted murder, assaulting a foreign envoy and business obstruction. Adding on to the ambassador's expertise in international relations and diplomacy, Mr. Lippert brings a personable approach to his position; his fast acquisition of the Korean language, his love of walking in the streets of Seoul, and his social media accounts that share his daily life in Korea show the endearing personality he brings to his job. He currently resides in Seoul with his wife, Mrs. Robyn Lippert, his son, Sejun Lippert, and a pet dog, Grisby, a lovable basset hound who has his own Twitter account. Seoul Journal Executive Editor Anthony Al-Jamie about his experience as an ambassador and his experience in Korea.

Cool shoes walk campus

Melissa Reise, Staff Reporter
If you've walked past a guy with really cool-looking shoes lately, there's a chance it was Andrew Jacobchick.
Jacobchick, a junior majoring in psychology, hails from Oostburg, Wis. He was drawn to Lakeland because of its psychology program, which he plans to get his master's in while here.
In addition to enjoying psychology, he also takes great pride in his shoes. His love for his shoes started when he received a pair of Jordans at five years old.
Jacobchick said, "I got really obsessed with them and started wearing them all the time and cleaning them. From there, I started buying a lot of shoes in high school and college."
He has collected about 300 pairs, all of which he loves to keep clean and post to Instagram. His favorite pair right now are his Lebron 9 Palmers.
He also has presented his shoes at various conventions. "I go all over the Midwest and do them. I buy, sell and trade shoes and can sometimes make a lot of money doing it," said Jacobchick.

Right now in a position where the only thing you can think about is your ex?
All of us, including me who is writing this or the one who's posting this has probably, possibly gone through a breakup.
That unbearably painful moment, where the pain is so real that it almost feels like you are being hurt physically. Where is the volume of pain so loud that it's deafening and you can hear nothing from the outside world and just the loud, pathetic wailing of your lone heart?
Yeah, we have all been there.
So while you are wandering around, looking for stuff to do so that you won't be wandering back to your ex, maybe sit down and read this piece of advice.
It might help you or somebody you know..
Accept that it has happened. It's not the end of the world. It has happened to billions before and they have survived the pain. You are no less and so you too will outlive this tragedy. Now you know that your break up is real since you have accepted it. Analyze what went wrong. If you were the one who wronged, learn from it and try not to do it ever again in the future. And if it was your partner who was the wrong one, well then you know that you did the right thing.
Look towards the positive side and MOVE ON. Time never waits. To be honest, being loved is being caged. Now you are free and probably young. No strings attached. Do whatever you didn't, because you thought your partner wouldn't like it. Make the most of your life and race ahead. Keep the lessons you learned at the back of your head and advance further. Somewhere along you would meet somebody else who wouldn't do wrong by you or whom you won't wrong because you have those lessons in your head. Believe deeply that you are going to have a better life and not do anything stupid & let yourself rot.
Most importantly, do not speak ill of your ex. Say whatsoever, they made you smile at some point and gave you beautiful memories. Be grateful that they visited, gave you some important lessons and made you somebody better and made you stronger than you were before. And moreover, when you speak ill of them and do other cheap things, you are only proving them right. So, move on peacefully and be self-content and take control of your life now. Life has so much more to offer.


MCT acts according to the law on public interest in the youth sector and follows the legal provisions of this law in the youth field. MCT works mostly at the local level, but in a small region like Zasavje, we connect and work regionally as well. Our vision is that MCT by 2020 will become a development and training center that creates the conditions for better standards for young people and the progress of the whole local community, and encourages young people to become socially responsible. Our vision is based on the belief that young people must become the key holders of development in the region.
Locally and regionally we work with many public institutions, organizations and societies, as we are recognized as a reliable and efficient partner. We also regularly participate in national projects and carry out a number of international activities. We have been carrying out international activities since 2005, and so far we have implemented more than 50 different projects in the framework of various national calls and tenders of European and other programs (hosting and sending seminars, trainings, study visits, youth exchanges, European voluntary service, mobilityprojects within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Program, mobility projects for youth workers, youth local and transnational initiatives, the Progress project, etc.).
In addition to the youth field, MCT runs a youth hostel and café since 2011 and in the period from 2012-2016 we implemented the activities of the tourist information center for the entire Zasavje Region. MCT has 5 full-time employees and 10 permanent employees, who are daily present in the MCT. The MCT building is located in the center of the city and it was built with the funds from the European Regional Development Fund. It has also become the focal point of the city's events for all generations.
MCT's human resources and technical capabilities make the organization strong enough to carry out major projects. The team consists of people from different fields (sociologists, political scientists, organizers of work) who have experience in planning, reporting, implementing and managing the content of projects, managing finance, evaluating and reporting in major projects.
Youth Center Trbovlje is a youth organization, established with the purpose of implementing and coordinating different activities for- and with young people, cooperating with other actors of the European youth sector, gathering and providing information for young people. We also offer our services to individuals as well as organizations and companies and carry out a wider range of activities by acquiring European funds. Since 2011 we offer also accommodation in our youth hostel and consequently develop various tourist products in the local environment.
Who is Youth Center Trbovlje for?
»A youth center is a space, where young people realize their ideas« is the basic idea of the Youth center Trbovlje. Therefore, the majority of our activities is meant for young people, but in the recent few years the center has become a popular meeting point for all generations. A part of our program in therefore centered on different age groups.
What is the program of the Youth Center Trbovlje?
»Start your adventure« is the call of our center for the young people, who are invited to explore, create, change, help, develop themselves and, of course, enjoy in various international and local program activities.
»Start your adventure« in also an open call for young people to create their own ideas and therefore co-create not only our program, but also the common vision of our organization and the local community.
Which are the highlighted program topics of Youth center Trbovlje for 2017?
This year, we've focused particularly on two topics. The first is closely connected with unemployment of young people, especially the long-term unemployment of young people, which sets Zasavje Region to the very top of our country. The problem is being addressed by the Ključ project (The Key) (link). The second topic is the theme of intercultural tolerance and coexistence. In this context, we carry out the Safe Haven project (link) that strengthens the competences of intercultural understanding and thus addresses the problem of xenophobia and intolerance, which is spreading extensively throughout Europe and around the world in the last few years.
What does Youth Center Trbovlje bring to the young people?
Youth center is one of those few organizations that enable young people to learn from experience. If the school is a »theory«, the youth center is the »practice«, where young people gain competences, crucial for their personal and professional development, through experiential learning. Experimental learning happens in the form of interest groups, where young people realize their ideas under the mentorship of a youth worker.
»Every mistake can be a learning experience« is the principle of the learning process at our youth center. In this way, we want to encourage young people to understand that mistakes are always a component of the progress and therefore do not need to be seen as something negative.
What are the effects of Youth Center Trbovlje?
»We want young people to become the key holder of the development« is the vision of Youth center Trbovlje. With that we want to emphasize the key effect of our work, which are active, independent young people, capable of changing themselves and influencing the development of the community that they live in.
What kind of knowledge do young people gain in the Youth Center Trbovlje?
Through the process of youth learning, young people acquire the following skills: self-initiative and entrepreneurship, ICT, digital literacy, learning to learn, social and civic competences, communication in the mother tongue, communication in a foreign tongue, competences in mathematics, science and technology, cultural awareness and expression.
What is the audience of Youth Center Trbovlje?
In Youth center Trbovlje we don't »count visitors«. Our mission is based on active participants, who change, co-create and leave their footprint in the organization with their ideas and actions. Youth center Trbovlje is a living »formation«, which is characterized by the activities of young groups of people who work in it. Therefore, our audience is our active young participants.
Who does MCT team consist of?
Our team consists of youth workers, active youth, and youth leaders, our local and foreign volunteers. Daily, 10 – 20 people are engaged in the work processes of the youth center, whereas the number of participants in the time of activities (international activities, major program activities) increases up to 30 – 40 people.
Youth exchange can also be called a »ticket« for the entrance into the international environment of youth work, since the vast majority of young people are acquainted with it through a youth exchange. The youth exchange is a project, planned by the young people with the help of youth worker and carried out in cooperation with peers from other European countries. In the week that they spend together, they address local social problems and solve them through different activities. A Youth exchange is an international learning experience that enabled the participants to acquire new knowledge and skills, noted in the final Youthpass certificate.
The European Voluntary Service (EVS) offers young people the option of a longer stay and work in a host organization in a foreign country (up to 12 months). The work of an EVS volunteer is for the benefit of a host organization or local community, but at the same time performing practical tasks presents challenges as well as the learning process for the volunteer.
The Youth Center Trbovlje is a coordinating organization. This means that we perform EVS projects together with several host organizations from the local community. In this way, we are expanding the opportunities for organizations in the region to upgrade their regular activity with the active involvement of EVS volunteers. EVS volunteers therefore acquire an important lifelong learning experience in Trbovlje.
Youth learning is understood as non-formal learning of young people about topics, not included in the school curriculum. It is about the development of the young person's personality through experiential activities offered by the youth center or youth organization. Non-formal learning is complementary to the formal learning; therefore, the youth center tries to complement the activities of schools with our own activities. Thus, we provide young people with an additional spectrum of contents, which enables them to get to know themselves, develop and become active adults. To develop personal competences, in MCT young people are provided with mentoring, counseling, involvement in interest groups, trainings etc. For the development of the local community the Youth Center Trbovlje enables intergenerational cooperation, learning of intercultural dialogue and the development of volunteering.
How do we record the knowledge gained in the informal educational process?
Like the school, in the youth center, we also learn the learning effects that young people are conquering through the processes of youth learning. The key difference between classical evaluation and the measurement of learning effects is that we do not measure through the numbers in the latter, but raise awareness through the processes of individual and group reflections.
Youth learning in youth work is a type of learning, where young people learn for life in a non-formal, often casual manner by realizing their own interests in the programs that we carry out in Youth Center Trbovlje. Interests group is just one of the forms of non-formal and informal learning of young people. Young people join interest groups according their own interests and on a voluntary basis and are have a chance to leave the group at any time. Interest groups are characterized by a high level of activity of young people with the supper of the mentor of the group not only in the planning, but also in implementation of the program.
Each interest group sets a goal that determines what do the participants want to achieve within the group, but the way how will they achieve it is up to the members of the group. Therefore, the mentor at the same time facilitates and occasionally directs the course of events. The important role of the mentor in the group is in evaluation. With active participation in interest groups young people learn and gain skills in different areas, therefore an important part of the whole process is also the reflection and recording of knowledge, gained in a non-formal and informal way.

I have been absent for so long as I first recovered from my breast cancer. Then when we got the all clear my husband and I hit the road for a long awaited trip around Queensland to include Mt Isa and Cape York. We are still on the road but I thought it was time I posted an update to inform you all of my recovery at least. I did have to have a partial mastectomy though that sounds so dramatic for the little bit that they took out. Still it was surgery and one that potentially saved my life. I was extremely fortunate in that the surgery took all of it and I did not require chemotherapy at all. I will need to have yearly check ups but I have been cleared for now. For those that want the nitty gritty details I had DCI: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. Thankfully it is the most common non invasive breast cancer there is.
Now to move on back to crafts, here is a lovely z fold card I made for a friend. I hand stamped and coloured the back decorative paper to match the commercial stripey paper I had in my stash/ The hearts were cut and embossed on my trusty cuttlebug and layered.
Hopefully we will keep in touch more from here on. By the way you can read about our trip on my Robbiebago travel blog.
Thank you Vicki. It is good to get the clear from the doctor. We are enjoying our road trip.
Glad to see you back in blogland. As usual your work is wonderful. Are you staying home and going to be doing more crafts again for us to look at? BTW Congrats on being a breast cancer survivor. I want to go over to your travel blog and read what you have been upto as well another day.
Love you card and the scrap book album. Can you show more pages of your album as promised now that you are better?
Thank you, Jenny for welcoming me back. We will be based at home a bit more for the next 6 months as my hubby has a new hobby of converting a bus into a motorhome. You can read about that on the Robbiebago site.
As for more crafts, yes, I ahve started to write them up. I have been productive whilst we were on the road, but sadly I didn't write anything up. Keep coming back as I slowly bring everyone up to date with what I have been doing. Thanks for note on my health. everything is terrific in that area. Just need to do yearly check ups!
Hi HoneySue, What a,lovely name.
I have done very little on the scrap book but there is another page finished. I should at least get that post sorted and tha might just give me the kick in the behind that I need to get going with some more.


Nova Delphini 2013 (also named V339 Del) is the biggest cosmic event in variable star astronomy this year, and this naked-eye nova is providing the community a wealth of new data on this important class of objects. The amateur astronomical community has made an enormous contribution of data for Nova Del so far, and now is a good time to review all that's happened so far in this nova outburst, and how the amateur community has played a role.
August 21, 2012: The observing campaign on V380 Oph announced in AAVSO Alert Notice 466 (www.aavso.org/aavso-alert-notice-466) has been cancelled at the request of the principal investigators, Drs. Joseph Patterson and Arne Henden.

What is an eBook?
An ebook is one of two file formats that are intended to be used with e-reader devices and apps such as Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.
Why is an eBook better than a PDF?
A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).
Where do I get eBook files?
eBook files are now available for a large number of reports on the NAP.edu website. If an eBook is available, you'll see the option to purchase it on the book page.

Postcard: 2005 Budweiser American Invitational
Beezie Madden and Authentic won the two-horse jump-off to capture the 2005 Budweiser American Invitational April 2. EquiSearch's Nancy Jaffer covers the tough competition in this postcard sponsored by Weatherbeeta.
Tampa, Fla., April 4, 2005 -- As I walked the course for the $200,000 Budweiser American Invitational, along with several thousand other fans who enjoyed that tradition, I stopped dead, completely awestruck, in front of the fifth obstacle.
As it happened, I was not the only one who did that during the course of the evening. So many horses had the same reaction to this light bridge, resting on pedestals surrounded by mini-liverpools, that the viaduct could only be called a true bogey fence. Its odd shape, airiness and the way the lights in Raymond James Stadium played off it caused trouble for nine riders, nearly one-third of the 30-member field vying for the most coveted show jumping trophy of the year on April 2.
And it wasn't the only problem on a course that designer Steve Stephens had warned me earlier in the day would be less technical than his 2004 effort. This route, with no triple but three doubles, had the emphasis on power jumping rather than related distances. Steve figured beforehand only eight horses would be able to handle it without faults. He was off by 75 percent.
As the crowd of nearly 12,000 (one of the best in years, incidentally) sat riveted by the country's most prestigious grand prix competition, the viaduct became the villain of the evening. It dashed the hopes of some key contenders, including Britain's Ellen Whitaker (niece of the famous Michael Whitaker) as her AK Locarno squeaked to a halt twice there, ending in elimination.
"He's normally very bold," she told me afterward, still puzzled by his reaction as he tried to go "under the fence."
It was a disappointing way to end her first Invitational.
"I've heard so much about it," Ellen said, not surprised that she had problems with the challenge. "I was half expecting something like this."
That's the Invitational for you. Riders, who don't pay an entry fee, qualify either by having a distinction like being on the Olympic team or because they're the previous winner, but mostly by money won during the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) to produce a field that's the best of the best for the WEF's climax. Difficulties pop up even in years when there isn't a major stumbling block like the viaduct in the Invitational. Don't forget, these horses are in the stadium for the first time during the parade of competitors. They haven't jumped on that turf until they take the initial fence, and there is plenty to distract them, including the roar of one of the sport's biggest audiences.
Frankly, I was very surprised when the first three horses to jump aced the viaduct, though they had difficulty elsewhere. But two of them--Kate Levy's Lagretto and Alison Firestone's Casanova, were very experienced. Last year's winner, Norman Dello Joio, is fazed by little, even though he was on Quriel rather than Glasgow, so he, too, cleared the viaduct. All three, however, had difficulty with the second element of the final double, 10B, a pair of oxers which came down the most times, 12, although its effects weren't as dramatic as those of the viaduct.
Then Nona Garson entered the ring on Languster, only to end her ride early with two refusals at the viaduct. Candice King, next on Verelst Camillo, had one refusal there but finally made it over. Canada's Mac Cone (who rode in the very first Invitational 33 years ago, by the way) was eliminated for two refusals at what Steve quickly renamed, "the bridge over troubled waters." When the next two horses soared over the viaduct, the crowd cheered wildly, but then Todd Minikus had a bad fall there off Flier, landing on his neck.
"All I could think of was Christopher Reeve," he told his pal Jimmy Torano later, referring to the riding accident that left the actor paralyzed for the rest of his life. Todd was okay, happily.
And so it went for the balance of the evening, with the viaduct taking its toll.
I remembered the fence from 1995, when it was painted as gray stone, rather than its current fake brick motif, and served as part of a bogey double. That was the Invitational that had only one clear round, belonging to Chris Kappler on Seven Wonder, and it seemed as if he were on his way to another when he aced the viaduct and 10B with Primeur. But at the next-to-last of the 14 fences, a funky wall with standards topped by brass cupolas, Primeur balked several strides away, finally convinced by Chris to jump but scoring a knockdown as he did. Together with time faults, that was only good enough for seventh place.
I was starting to wonder if this would be another Invitational without a jump-off (or maybe without even a clean round) when five horses later, Jeff Welles on Armani--a dark bay appearing in his first Invitational--proved he was up to the challenge. The only other horse who would do that was, not surprisingly, the mount of Olympic medalist Beezie Madden, Authentic. As it happens, he is by Guidam, the same sire as Armani.
So the spectators weren't deprived of a jump-off, and I have to say, my money was on Beezie for the first two-horse tiebreaker in Invitational history.
As Jeff said, "I didn't know what to expect from Armani. He's never shown in a situation like this. I didn't think he was spooky--he's not a spooky horse, but he can get a little bit tense. He just really kept his cool and jumped fantastic."
In the jump-off, with the course shortened to nine fences, Armani was really motoring until he had a rail at 10A, the third jump from the finish line and the only part of that last double left in for the tiebreaker.
"I was very happy with the ride and the way he went," Jeff said. "He just went down and had the front rail on that oxer. Sometimes he'll have a tendency to cut down on the back rail of an oxer, so I rode the jump strong, and that made him a little bit flat." Armani had a good time of 43.29 with 4 faults, making for a formidable challenge to Beezie.
Beezie and her husband, trainer John Madden, decided to roll the dice and go for a clean round. It was obvious Authentic wasn't in a race as he picked his way along carefully, so we all held our breath, wondering if he could finish without faults. This fabulous horse, who thrilled us in the Olympics before getting tired on the day of the individual competition, proved he was back in form. He produced a perfect round in 46.35 seconds, just under the time allowed of 47 seconds.
Strategy is what John Madden loves, and when I caught up with him at the post-Invitational party, he told me what he was thinking as he and Beezie plotted the jump-off.
Explaining why they decided to ditch an attempt at speed, John said, "I'd rather have confidence in the quality of the horse and that he'll go clean because (and here he grinned at me) he's not such a bad horse. Beezie's very accurate and scientific. There's very few horses I'd take that gamble with, but he's one."
John's still kicking himself, though, for not starting Authentic a little earlier on the circuit so he could qualify for the World Cup finals in Las Vegas later this month. Beezie was number nine on the East Coast list, and only eight are going (though I still wonder if maybe someone will drop out, which would give her a chance.)
So that's one strategy with which John wasn't happy. "I missed by a couple of points, but I didn't miss that much," he shrugged.
Understandably, Beezie wasn't fretting about the World Cup Saturday, noting the plan is to give the 10-year-old Authentic a well-deserved rest. She was just happy to have finally topped the Invitational and gotten her name in the record books (as well as earning $16,000 more than she did as the runner-up last year.
"It was kind of his time," she said. "I haven't won it before and every year I'd come in saying, 'I want to win this class this year.' Last year I was close, and this year I did it."
Interestingly, she noted Authentic had no problems with the viaduct because he had jumped a similar fence at the Athens Olympics.
"It sounds funny to say he had experience at the Olympic Games to show here, but he did," Beezie chuckled.
And what of some of the other key players? Laura Kraut, the No. 1 money winner of the WEF leading up to the Invitational, lost a stirrup when Miss Independent leaped out of 7B, the red and black Japanese fence from the 1984 Olympics. She was so busy trying to get it back that she flubbed her approach to number eight, a yellow and green vertical, having a knockdown there, and then dropped 10B to wind up tenth.
Ramiro Quintana, the Argentine who made his mark during the WEF with the veteran Hurricane by winning a grand prix and being a pillar of the third-place team in the Nations' Cup, was on his way to a clear when he toppled a rail at the last fence. He wound up third and won the style award for good measure.
McLain Ward was fourth on Sapphire with a knockdown and one time penalty, saying, "she jumped unbelievable." Next up is the World Cup, his goal for this year, and he assured me, "She's ready to win."
Well, I'll be on hand to see that, or whatever else happens in Las Vegas April 21-24. So be sure to come back to EquiSearch then for my daily postcards on all the action at the World Cup Final, the most important show jumping competition of 2005.

Histoire
Zongoya est un vaste village colonial le tout premier à abriter les colonisateurs français de la CFDT devenue Sodecon. L'étendu de ce territoire emprunte la délimitation de la topographie du secteur de la Sodecon Zongoya. Sa population est composite et cosmopolite mais, à la racine Guiziga. Il est bâti autour des 22 chefferies parmi lesquelles Kaelwo, Gawa, Miziling, Djiddéo, Yoldé, Tchabéwa, Hardéo, Maounaforou, Wouyang, Makada, Lesmayo et Fakalao comme l'indique le tableau ci-dessous. Ce territoire est érigé en Chefferie du 2e degré par l'arrêté n°29 du . Zongoya est limitrophe de Katoual et Salak d'une part et de Gawel et Gazawa d'autre part, mais les populations de ce territoire sont constamment livrées aux attaques à mains armées et à l'insécurité ; donc ce territoire a besoin à plus d'un titre d'un Chef habile qui peut organiser les populations en collaboration avec l'Administration pour faire face à ce genre d'attaques.

Q: ng build --production does not fully uglify js classes When creating a production angular 14 build the output javascript bundles seem to be minified and uglified, but not to the extent that I was expecting.
When looking into the outputted files in the dist folder, parts of the file are indeed minified and uglified. Other parts of the file are in plain javascript and expose quite a lot about the application.
I have attached an example whereby one can clearly read the app component in the main bundle after being minified and uglified. I would have expected this code to have been obfuscated too.
What would really be useful to know is if there is a setting to minify the classes too or if not, is there a way to customise the angular cli build process to achieve the complete type of obfuscation I initially expected ?

This series of blog posts is going to describe a way how Sitecore 7.2 rev. 140526 (it most likely works with other versions as well but I haven't tested it) can be deployed using Visual Studio and the Windows Azure integration. The big advantage that you will get from this is that the deployment can be automated using PowerShell scripts should you choose to setup continuous deployment using a build server such as TFS (yes I am biased, I like TFS). So the aim is not having to use the Sitecore Azure module for your cloud deployments.
Why am I not very fond of the Sitecore Azure module?
This first blog post is concentrating on deploying the Sitecore databases to Windows Azure. If you have used the Sitecore Azure module you may have noticed that this is the starting point. Given that the content of this blog is only required once I decided that it won't be worthwhile to automate the steps described.

Q: Streaming in Higher Order Functions (map, filter etc.) in Swift I've already gone through multiple posts regarding how higher order functions - filter, map, sort, reduce etc. work in Swift.
What I want to know is the internal working of these methods. Do they use streaming to produce the final output?
var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

var arr1 = arr.map { $0 * $0 }.filter { $0 % 2 == 0 } //Output: [4, 16, 36, 64, 100]

What I mean is, in the above code, every time map processes an element from arr, will it be passed on to filter without waiting for the map to process all the elements in arr?

A: No, they don't. filter is only run when map is completed when used normally.
You can however optimize it better by declaring the collection lazy wherein your filtering will only happen when there is need for it from the next function in the chain. This also prevents the creation of intermediate arrays. (Every function will create a new array otherwise, which will then be passed to the next function)

Check this out for a really good explanation about lazy collections. - Lazy Collections in Swift
