Where do I even begin?!?
Toys have been the center of my frustration for a while now.
My kids share a room. A small room.
One small room and toys for 2 kids just don't mix.
It started with the one red tub and just kept growing. It was totally out of control!!!
Because it was such an unorganized mess the kids rarely played with their toys because they couldn't find the toy they wanted to play with. Also, in the process of looking for the toy they wanted everything was thrown onto the floor. Which was very aggravating to me. It would take them forever to clean up the mess (even more aggravating to me).
There had to be a solution.
Last week while they were busy watching a movie I cleaned up their room. I left out a few bigger toys for each of them. Toys that they love, but haven't played with because they couldn't find them in the toy pile.
Now they are enjoying these toys that they love.
I also hung up a few costumes for Dakota to wear. He loves to be Super Heroes. The rest of them are hung up in his closet.
All the other toys are in two tubs (one for Dakota and one for Aiyanna) in their closet.
When they start to seem bored with the toys that are out I will trade them for some "new" toys from their tubs. I think it's win-win. The room stays clean, they can actually find toys to play with, and when these toys get old they get "new" ones. Best of all I am no longer irritated about the toy mess. YAY!!!!
This song is such a reminder that God is "I AM".
I hope you really listen to the words of this song as you enjoy the beautiful pictures in the video!
I can't believe it's Friday already!
Where did this week go???
I guess that spending our days at the beach has made me lose track of time.
I thought it would be fun on Fridays to show you some things I had made before I started blogging.
When Dakota was about 13 months old I needed to go to work so we could make ends meet.
I made him little quilt to take to "school". Each square has a pictue on it. The pictures are of Dakota, Me, and Scott. That way if he started to miss us he could look at pictures of us on his blankie. On the middle square I embroidered his name. This is the blankie he used for naptime. He had to bring it home everyday.
This instantly became his favorite blanket. I have this blanket tucked away safely, but I think I might get it out for him. I think he would love to see picture of himself as a baby.
I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!!!
This topic is something I have debated writing about many times.
Depression is a real thing.
Not many people know this about me, but I struggle with depression.
I have struggled with this for as long as I can remember.
My life as a child was different than most children. I carried a BIG, BAD secret for years.
It's something I still can't talk about to this day. Something I don't know if I can ever speak in words the unspeakable things that I went through. This BIG, BAD "thing" is the reason for my depression.
At the age of 16, I was taken from my parents and placed in Foster Care.
For the first time in forever I what it was like to have peace and security.
My entire family disowned me. By the time I was 17 I was headed to my 4th foster home and 3rd High School. This is hard for anyone, but it was very hard on me. I felt like no one in the world cared about me.
. I was so depressed. I remember one day sitting at the edge of a pond contemplating living.
I couldn't bare another flashback, another new school, another new home. I feared doing or saying anything, afraid I upset the Foster Parents and get moved yet again. Mostly I feared people would find out what I went through.
I just couldn't take it anymore!
I shut down and went into a deep depression.
Depression is not something I'm proud of AT ALL! It's something I'm embarrassed about it and I feel very guilty about.
I know this isn't a typical type of post for me.
I felt like I needed to say it. I hope it helps someone else who reads this!
If you struggle with depression, just know you are not alone!!!
I am here. I can totally relate!
I know kids grow fast, but Dakota doesn't have growing SPURTS. He just never stop growing.
He is very tall for his age. He has been since birth! He was 3.5 weeks early and was 22.5" long.
He couldn't wear newborn clothes they were to short. He came home from the hospital wearing 0-3 months clothes. At 12 months he was wearing 2t, and now he is 5 and is wearing size 6 and some 7's. He is tall and very thin which makes it more difficult to find jeans, pants, and shorts that fit him well and are comfortable.
Needless to say keeping him in clothes that fit can be very costly. It seems like every time I turn around he is outgrowing everything. At the end of winter he started to outgrow his jeans. The waist fits really well, but they are all too short now. So to save some cash on summer clothes I turned them into shorts.
Grab a pair of shorts that you like the length of. Measure the inseam ( the crotch to the hem).
Add 1.5" to that to account for the hem.
Measure from the crotch and cut off the jeans.
Now you are going to prees the hem. Fold up 1/2" and then another 1" and press.
Stitch the hem. Makes sure you change your needle to a jeans needle and also use jeans thread.
I adjusted my stitch length to a longer stitch. And adjusted the tension to +1.
To get your stitch length and tension correct I suggest the fabric you cut off as a practice piece to get your adjustments as every machine is a little different.
We had a great weekend filled with playing at the beach and going to church.
I have something exciting (at least to me) in the works. I am hoping to have all the information that I need put together for next Monday. It is a BIG project!!! One that I can't do alone, so I will definately need the help from y'all, my sewing friends!
This week I thought it would be nice to do something for someone who you don't know real well or have recently met. A neighbor, new co-worker, someone new at church, etc. You could do anything. Buy them coffee, treat them to lunch, bake up some cookies for them, sew up something, etc.
We have a new Youth Pastor at our church and I adore his sweet family. Their little girl is the same age as Aiyanna. They have quickly become friends! We were at family night at Chick-Fil-A last Tuesday and they were there as well. Aiyanna was sporting a new skirt I had made her.
Heather, the Mom, commented more than once that she loved Aiyanna's skirt. So I am going to make a skirt for Aiyanna's new little friend. I found some super cute seersucker fabric with hearts all over it that will be perfect! And for the baby brother we are giving him a Taggie Blankie.
Who are you going to do something nice for this week?
I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend.
A couple of weeks ago I told you about little Annabelle.
Annabelle has lived in the hospital since birth.
On April 9, 2011 Annabelle received a heart transplant. She is doing well and they are hoping to go home soon!
As you can imagine with Mom being at the hospital with Annabelle there isn't time for shopping.
Annabelle needs summer clothes. Mom thinks something that opens easilyin the front would be wonderful since she will have tons of doctors appointments. I am going to make her some summery kimono shirts and skirts. She will need 12-18 months size.
I hope you will join me in making something for Annabelle.
Krista (Annabelle's Mom) has sent me her address. If you are making something for Annabelle please email me for the address to send it to.
I hope y'all have a wonderful day!!!
Hi everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!
I went out of town and spent the weekend with my wonderful in-laws.
Can you believe I forgot my computer?!?!
I had my lap top, phone charger, book, etc in my laptop bag. I packed up the car and left the laptop bag sitting on the floor. I didn't even realize it until I unpacked the car later that evening. I couldn't believe I did that. I don't ever leave the computer at home, but it was good thing.
I spent more time talking and visiting with Momma than I would have if I had my computer with me.
We had a lot of fun. One of the fun things we did was go to a Mother Daughter Tea at church.
My niece and her daughter came over that morning and we made headbands to wear to the Tea.
It was fun to see how each one turned out.
Each girl had a different request.
Funky, girly, not big, and pink.
With our headbands we would have fit right in at the Royal Wedding.
I wanted to give you a quick update on Lilly.
I received an email yesterday from LISA that she is doing well and healing nicely!!!
She is wearing the kimonos that were sent to her from all of you wonderful ladies!
A while back I won a pattern from the Little Lizrd King.
I chose the Apron Knot Dress. I had seen them everywhere and wanted to make one for Aiyanna.
I tweaked it some. I added a ruffle to the bottom instead of the band. Also I made the apron a little different.
Here is a close up of the apron. I hand embroidered the meramid and "Sea Princess".
It had been a long time since I had done hand work. I really enjoyed and plan to start doing more of it.
We received so many compliments on this dress when she wore it the other day.
This dress is now available for purchase in the SHOP!
This is a song that our band sings a lot at church.
And another one of my favorites.

47 years ago, a wormhole connecting the Milky Way with the Sunflower Galaxy (also known as M63) appeared. Mankind launched a swift and succesful colonization effort, aided in large part by the discovery of two garden planets (Baressia and Arta) within M63.
10 years ago, the wormhole mysteriously disappeared. The hundreds of millions of people residing in colonized M63 were left with no way to contact those in the Milky Way. Though FTL technology had been making steady advancements, it would still take centuries to traverse the distance between the two galaxies.
The loss of the wormhole, while damaging, was not debilitating to the humans of M63. They'd had ample time to colonize and establish themselves. While some effort was put forth to reestablish communications with the Milky Way, something of greater importance dictated that attention be focused elsewhere.
Four years after the wormhole vanished, humans in M63 made first contact with another sentient species. Contact was made in the form of an attack. The enemy, possessing ships faster and stronger than anything humanity had at its disposal, assaulted a mining platform and several ships nearby. When those dispatched in response to the initial distress call arrived, there was no sign of a battle, no sign of the human vessels or the enemy. There was no sign of anything.
This enemy, named the Conflux, began to attack with increasing frequency and alarming efficiency. More ships were lost. More lives were lost, too, all of them without a trace. It was impossible to trace the Conflux back to their point of origin—they were simply too fast. They also had an ability to manipulate temporary wormholes which allowed them to "jump" swiftly away if the battle turned against them. As the months passed, it became increasingly apparent that humanity's future in M63 was being severely threatened. For reasons unknown the Conflux had started this war, and it appeared they were going to win it.
The joint military-security firm known as Sisyphus Armed Forces (SAF) began construction on prototype warships in direct response to the Conflux threat. These prototypes were the Aegis class (named for the ancient Greek word that can mean "shield") and the Kopis class (for the ancient Greek term that means "to cut" or "to strike"). The two were designed to work together in combat. The Aegis, heavily armored, was meant to act as a distraction and was capable of soaking massive amounts of enemy firepower, which allowed the heavily armed Kopis an opportunity to fly directly into enemy ranks and launch an assault. In their first battle against the Conflux, the prototype Aegis and Kopis performed well. So very well, in fact, that SAF began scheduled them for mass production.
A fleet of Aegis-Kopis teams was gradually assembled and sent throughout M63. The tide of the war slowly turned in humanity's favor, but it was clear a complete victory would be impossible until it could be discovered where exactly the Conflux were coming from. Even with the efficient tactics of the Aegis-Kopis warships, there was no current way to track the Conflux to their point of origin.
And so it has become a stalemate, with both sides winning some and losing some. No matter how well the new warships have handled the Conflux threat, the enemy is still as unpredictable and deadly as they ever were.
Which is something you're about to learn for yourself.

Photos + Review: Baroness at The Cabooze (Minneapolis, MN)
by Lucas Mengelkoch
Baroness (Savannah, GA), Pallbearer (Little Rock, AR)
The Cabooze, in Minneapolis, MN
I have never shot a concert that had such bad and good lighting at the same time.
The worst shows are when the lighting is either behind the band pointing out, or in front pointing at them. Behind is bad because you'll get a lot of silhouette shots, which can be cool, but no one wants to see a whole concert that way. Front is bad because if they're too bright they'll blow out the band members. Baroness played Tuesday night at the Cabooze instead of Varsity Theater and they had both going on. There wasn't much stage facing lighting along with very bright lights behind the bands. Side shots of the bands turn out fine, but try to get a close up? They better be in a perfect spot or else they'll block a light and give you a silhouette.
Another major complaint: making the space between the barrier and stage so small and placing box/crate things in that walkway was a bad and dumb idea. I tripped and fell over one of the boxes once and almost another two times going side to side trying to get good shots. Not a very safe set up, especially in a dark area.
Luckily the music was still fantastic. I'm not the biggest fan of the music Pallbearer played, the slower, grungy sounding kind of metal, but they played it well. It's just hard for me to get into a whole set of songs that all around like 60-80 BPM. I was really excited for Baroness though. I was talking with a guy beforehand who said the last time he'd seen them was 12 years ago, which surprised me because I didn't know they've been around that long. I don't know Baroness' catalog that well, so while listening through their set I was impressed by how consistent each song sounded to each other. Every song sounded to me like it could be on their new record Purple. Looking at setlist.fm it does look like they played a pretty well rounded set from all of their albums. I was hoping they would play "Swollen and Halo" and was a little disappointed they didn't, but everything else was wonderful.
I've been to the Cabooze one other time, back in 2009, and didn't really like it there then, still don't like it much now. I was able to snag a seat on the balcony and just watch and take it all in, so the night was at least enjoyable in that way. Next time please keep the show at Varisty?

Q: Matlab's cannot call Python code that imports statsmodels This question concerns Matlab 2014b, Python 3.4 and Mac OS 10.10.
I have the following Python file tmp.py:
from statsmodels.tsa.arima_process import ArmaProcess
import numpy as np
def generate_AR_time_series():
    arparams = np.array([-0.8])
    maparams = np.array([])
    ar = np.r_[1, -arparams]
    ma = np.r_[1, maparams]
    arma_process = ArmaProcess(ar, ma)
    return arma_process.generate_sample(100)

I want to call generate_AR_time_series from Matlab so I used:
py.tmp.generate_AR_time_series()

which gave a vague error message
Undefined variable "py" or class "py.tmp.generate_AR_time_series".

To look into the problem further, I tried
tmp = py.eval('__import__(''tmp'')', struct);
which gave me a detailed but still obscured error message:

Python Error:
dlopen(/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/scipy/special/_ufuncs.so, 2): Symbol
not found: __gfortran_stop_numeric_f08
  Referenced from: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/scipy/special/_ufuncs.so
  Expected in: /Applications/MATLAB_R2014b.app/sys/os/maci64/libgfortran.3.dylib
 in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/scipy/special/_ufuncs.so

I can call the function within Python just fine, so I guess the problem is with Matlab. From the detailed message, it seems that the problem lies in something is expected in the Matlab installation path, but of course Matlab installation path does not contain those things since they are third-party libraries for Python.
How to solve this problem?
Edit 1:
libgfortran.3.dylib can be found in a lot of places:
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/sys/os/maci64/libgfortran.3.dylib
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014b.app/sys/os/maci64/libgfortran.3.dylib
/opt/local/lib/gcc48/libgfortran.3.dylib
/opt/local/lib/gcc49/libgfortran.3.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgcc/libgfortran.3.dylib
/Users/wdg/Documents/MATLAB/mcode/nativelibs/macosx/bin/libgfortran.3.dylib

A: Try:
setenv('DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH', '/usr/local/bin/');

A: For me, using the setenv approach from within MATLAB did not work. Also, MATLAB modifies the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable during startup to include necessary libraries.
First, you have to make sure which version of gfortran scipy was linked against: in Terminal.app, enter otool -L /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/scipy/special/_ufuncs.so and look for 'libgfortran' in the output.
It worked for me to copy $(MATLABROOT)/bin/.matlab7rc.sh to my home directory and change the line LDPATH_PREFIX='' in the mac section (around line 195 in my case) to LDPATH_PREFIX='/opt/local/lib/gcc49', or whatever path to libgfortran you found above.
This ensures that /opt/local/lib/gcc49/libgfortran.3.dylib is found before the MATLAB version, but leaves other paths intact.

JOOR links with London Fashion Week and Premium for virtual shows
Digital wholesale platform JOOR said on Wednesday that it will power the marquee upcoming summer fashion industry events London Fashion Week next month and Premium Berlin in July, as well as a number of autumn fashion events.
It will "create unique landing environments for each show for brands to showcase and retailers to shop collections," it said.
The LFW event takes place at the same time as the physical LFW Men's had been scheduled (June 12-14). "It was incredibly important that we find a way at London Fashion Week to assist our brands, especially small and emerging ones, in this unusual time," said Caroline Rush, British Fashion Council chief executive. "The access JOOR is providing will allow our members to continue their business relationships so they are well prepared for the recovery."
Meanwhile, Premium's managing partner Anita Tillmann said: "We already had digital components to our shows with our app, which was successfully integrated into JOOR last year. The next logical move for us was to consolidate all our digital tools with JOOR Passport in order to achieve a seamless experience for our customers both on and offline.
"Considering the current circumstances, this transformation became even more important. Digital is a huge opportunity for brands and buyers to remain capable and maintain international business."
As mentioned, the specific product these events will be using is JOOR Passport, which is "intended for the current market conditions of restricted travel as well as the post-pandemic era when physical events resume," JOOR said.
We're told it centralizes the trade show and fashion week experience "by creating a one-stop-shop for users: one place to upload data, one website to visit, one app to download, and one comprehensive experience. By digitizing the interaction between brands and retailers, it enables a 365 day per year marketplace where retailers discover new styles and designers, and brands generate more connections".
The company said it means brands can upload their seasonal lookbooks to unique profile pages and showcase their styles in virtual showrooms.
And brands that have created images using its exclusive partnership with ORB360 "will be able to offer retailers 360-degree images that communicate every product detail for an enhanced shopping experience".
And there are plans to continue this tech approach once the trade show and runway calendars start to get back to normal. The firm said that it will take an omnichannel approach. "The Passport mobile app will allow brands and retailers to manage their connections and appointments and place orders at these events," it explained. "Retailers will use the universal app for all shows. Data stored in the app is carried from one event to the next to make planning and reconnecting easier than ever before."

Taiwan donates Rp4.4 billion for Lombok quake victims
August 21, 2018 by en.antaranews.com Leave a Comment
Jakarta (ANTARA News) – Taiwanese government and businessmen have donated Rp4.4 billion to the victims of a powerful magnitude-7 earthquake in the island of Lombok through the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) on Tuesday.
"Taiwan is always ready to assist Indonesia during large disasters," Taipei Economic and Trade Office (TETO) representative for Indonesia, John C. Chen, stated.
He was referring to Taiwanese assistance for victims of the undersea earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.1, and subsequent tsunami in Aceh province in December 2004 and victims of Mount Merapi`s eruption in Yogyakarta in 2010.
A series of earthquakes has hit East Lombok district in West Nusa Tenggara province since a magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck the island on July 29, 2018. An earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.9, rocked the island one week later. Since then, the authorities have recorded more than 800 aftershocks, including a magnitude-7.0 earthquake on Aug 19.
The series of earthquakes have left more than 500 people dead and forced some 400 thousand others to evacuate to safer grounds.
The earthquake evacuees are reportedly running short of clean water, medicines, and fast foods.
Damage to infrastructures in the mountain range has also caused difficulties to volunteers to distribute relief aid among quake victims, according to PMI while receiving the Taiwanese aid.
Chen remarked that Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen also expressed condolences to Indonesia over the victims of the Lombok earthquake shortly after learning about the natural disaster.

The Cassville R-IV School District has passed the first hurdle in obtaining funding through a federal grant that would help finance renovations at Rocky Edmondson Park.
On June 13, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt announced that the R-IV district was among 25 schools and communities that will be recommended to the National Park Service to receive more than $755,000 in federal grants to assist with park and recreation needs.
The school district is asking for $29,610 in grant funding to renovate facilities at the park, according to Superintendent Jim Orrell. The project will require a 55 percent match under the grant guidelines.
The grants are part of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which is a federal program that can be used to acquire, develop and renovate outdoor recreation projects.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources received 48 applications requesting more than $1.9 million in grant funding. Only 25 applications were chosen for a state recommendation.
The funds are administered through the U.S. Department of Interior's National Park Service and the National Park Service must approve the recommendations before the grants are awarded.
According to Orrell, the R-IV District applied for the grant back in October of 2006. It has taken nine months for the district to receive the state's recommendation. Orrell said he does not know when the grant decision will be made at the federal level.
In the meantime, the district has already begun work to upgrade the existing park pavilion and will also begin to replace bridges at the park that have been damaged by flood waters.
"We're going to start upgrading the park irregardless of whether or not we receive the grant funds," Orrell said. "The park has gotten run down and needs some attention."
The district is also considering adding a second pavilion, new picnic tables and possibly restroom facilities.
The park, which is located on 13th Street, is used by the public and also serves as the district's outdoor classroom. Cassville's Greenway Trail runs from Rocky Edmondson Park to the city's South Park.
Bill and Hazel Edmond-son deeded the park property to the R-IV School District in January of 1979 in honor of their son, Major Williams "Rocky" Edmondson, USAF, who was listed as missing in action from the Vietnam War on May of 1966.


It's Saturday morning again, time for breakfast and some sketching over my favourite coffee brewed traditionally in the local style. We were again back to our fav haunt just a short walk from where we live. The most difficult part of this journey to the kopitiam is crossing a three lane single direction road, flanked by, on one side shophouses, and on the other, condominiums. Timing is crucial. We could only cross when the traffic light located about 80m ahead of us turns red for the incoming traffic. On most occasions, we have to make a dash across as most cars do not show mercy. It's too far for us to walk to the traffic light and back again. It's doesn't make sense too as the kopitiam is just 30m right across.
Ever since I bought my iPad Pro, I have been bringing it for my breakfast sketching expedition since it doesn't involve much. I placed it in a nifty cloth bag with the Apple Pencil and iPhone, and slung over my shoulder. I chose the iPad over my traditional tools just because it's convenient. Furthermore, an iPad alone also offers more than it looks. Procreate provides all the necessary tools I need, ranging from pencil brushes to even textured brushes.
When we arrived, the kopitiam was already quite occupied. The only table we got for ourselves only allow me to face out of the kopitiam. But new tables were opened and filled up very soon as we were just about to order our coffee. As you can see from the first sketch, it is customary for some customers to drive up and park beside the kopitiam. There are about 3-4 parking lots along the road. With your car just parked beside you, you could rest easy without placing a parking coupon and not worry about being sneaked up by the parking attendant without you noticing.
If its not too noisy sometimes, you could make out what others were talking about. But I usually made up the dialogue in the sketch as I am not particularly interested in what others have to say. I presume if it's not about the government, then it's complaining about their spouses or children, or maybe how tough life is.


This essay bridges the gaps in the literature within legislative studies by illustrating the usefulness of feminist ethnography as a methodological intervention into studying legislative behavior. Black feminist epistemology is a useful tool for making new knowledge claims within an existing body of knowledge. I use anecdotes and examples from my fieldwork in the Maryland state legislature to expose how race and gender impact both the process and the outcome of data collection. I demonstrate how my experience as an African American woman researcher whose work centers on Black women Maryland state legislators, which I situate within Black feminist epistemology, shaped my access to subjects and data interpretation. The points of information that legislators shared with me, my access to them, the assumptions they made about me, gaps in conversation, and the context in which they shared their policy positions, were all mediated by my own identity. By placing my experiences as a Black woman at the center of analysis, this study offers fresh insight on the prevailing paradigms and epistemologies in legislative studies.

For many of us mere mortals out there, the idea of attending the Game of Thrones Season 8 premiere feels like a far-fetched dream that could never come true. However, for one lucky winner and their guest, it could become a reality and believe it or not you'd have none other than Jaime Lannister to thank for it all. Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays the renowned King Slayer on the show, has recently teamed up with Omaze and L'Oréal to offer one lucky fan and a guest of their choosing the chance to join him and the rest of the Game of Thrones cast at the premiere of Season 8. The winner would also get to accompany him on the red carpet, watch a screening of the premiere episode, and attend the after party later that same evening.
All in all, it's basically a dream come true for any diehard fan and the good news is that you don't need to slay any dragons or fight off an army of White Walkers in order to make it happen. All you have to do to apply for the chance to win is head over to Omaze.com/Nikolaj and make a $10 donation (or more if you so choose) in support of the Movember Foundation. And that's all there is to it. For all you know, you could be the one to walk alongside Coster-Waldau on the red carpet, sit next to Emilia Clarke during the screening, and chat it up with Kit Harington over a glass of champagne at the after party. Anything is possible for the lucky winner and that could very well be you.
If nothing else, though, you should definitely check out the video Coster-Waldau created to help promote this event because it's pretty hilarious. Who wouldn't want to spend an evening with this man?
Though the actor admits that he won't spoil how Game of Thrones ends, he does paint a pretty wonderful picture as to what a night on his arm could entail. Sure, the odds of you winning may feel like a billion to one, but someone has to walk away victorious, right?
So open up that wallet of yours, pray to the old gods and the new, and get to donating ASAP. This is one gamble that's more than worth the risk.


> What we can learn from Scotland's road safety success?
What we can learn from Scotland's road safety success?
Fatalities in Scotland reduced by 24 percent in 2017, according to last month's Reported Road Casualties in Great Britain. This was the biggest improvement in Great Britain. Fatalities were reduced to 146, taking Scotland ahead of its 2020 reduction target to reduce fatalities by 40 percent. How is Scotland achieving these gains when the rest of Great Britain is achieving little or no improvement in road safety?
Some aspects of transport (including the road network) are devolved powers, so the Scottish Parliament has greater control over these areas. Could this be part of the reason behind Scotland's performance? With greater responsibility over a smaller area it stands to reason that those making decisions at the very top have a better understanding of local issues and where funding is needed most. They are also more able to commit to long-term transport planning.
Going back to the latest reported road casualties and looking at the fatalities by region sheds further light on this. Looking purely at fatalities, the South East is the worst performing region and the North East is the best (right).
Adjusting for population, however tells another story (below).
If you rank the regions by fatalities as a proportion of the total population, London suffered the fewest fatalities, followed by the North East, North West and Scotland, with Yorkshire and the Humber fifth. London obviously has a dedicated local government body in Transport for London (TfL) whilst Scotland, as discussed above, has devolved responsibility.
The fact that the North performs so well is interesting because although the legislation for Transport for the North's function didn't come into force until this year, the initial Transport for the North partnership was formed in 2014, starting the close collaboration across the North and joint infrastructure planning.
Sub-national Transport Bodies (STBs) like Transport for the North, with similar power to TfL and Scotland's transport planning, could make a significant impact on road safety across Great Britain. After all, the local authority road safety managers know where the issues lie and what remedies will likely be most effective but obtaining funding for solutions can be complex and has not facilitated long-term planning or schemes covering whole routes. It is hoped that STBs will combine an understanding of where the issues lie with an appreciation of the wider area, and greater responsibility to implement the right solutions where they are needed most.
There are now four STBs: Transport for the North, Transport for the South East, Midlands Connect and England's Economic Heartland. There is also talk of STBs for the South West and West Anglia. Hopefully these new and emerging bodies will achieve similar success.
We work closely with road operators in Scotland from our office in Glasgow and have seen how empowering road managers with funding and decision-making control allows road safety professionals to effectively manage their network and bring down accident rates.
Hopefully, the growth of STBs will facilitate similar success across Great Britain. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss any of the above schemes or an issue you are facing on your network.
When, where, what and why? How a targeted approach to road safety is needed to tackle Britain's stagnant road safety figures.

Many dance styles are created for particular tempos and styles of music. For example, Argentine Tango, Lindy Hop, Rock 'n' Roll, Salsa, West Coast Swing, Zouk, and the ten standard Ballroom styles (Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Samba & Paso Doble).
They have particular footwork patterns that match the tempo of the music they are commonly danced to. Play a different genre of music and that dance style might not fit. These styles tend to be focussed more on dancing than on people - they're undertaken with proper dance shoes on specific dance surfaces to achieve the specific requirements of a style.
Modern Jive does not have formal footwork - we merely recommend leads initiate with the right foot and follows initiate with the left but it is not fixed in stone.
At more advanced levels we do not need step to the tempo of the music - we can also dance to the melody as well. The wide variety of music and the continuous evolution are just two of the reasons why Modern Jive is always fresh and rewarding.

Congress too busy for highway bill, still?
Kevin Jones | Sep 09, 2015
Congress returned from its August break Tuesday, and while those members looking to resume progress toward a multi-year highway bill remain optimistic a plan can be passed, the legislative agenda is more than full of distractions in September.
In an informal and wide-ranging conversation before the Public Policy Institute of California last week, Sen. Barbara Boxer, the state's senior senator and a Democrat, spoke at some length about the "sleepless nights" and "horrible, crazy stuff" it took to get a six-year authorization through the Republican-controlled Senate. Boxer also said she's recently had talks with the leaders of the House transportation committee "who seem very ready to go" in developing that chamber's multi-year plan. (See Boxer's discussion of the bill in the video below, which runs from about the 12-minute mark.)
"My prediction today, and I make it with some trepidation, is that we will have a bill that will at least fund three years," Boxer said. "It's a very bright spot in this Congress, but it's ridiculous—ridiculous—we haven't solved the long-term problem on how to pay. We haven't raised the gas tax since Clinton. You could do a penny a month for ten months: You wouldn't feel it and you would solve your problem."
But the more pressing problem, other than the bipartisan political resistance to a gas tax increase, is procedural: Congress has a range of matters to deal with before addressing the surface transportation reauthorization. The summer extension of MAP-21 runs through the end of October.
Between now and then, lawmakers have to fund the federal government for the coming fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. A variety of policy riders related to trucking—dealing with CSA, trailer length, and truck driver age, to name a few—have been attached to the budget for the Dept. of Transportation and might or might not be included in a final spending plan.
A likely outcome is a continuing resolution, or an extension of funding at current levels, while negotiations continue. Last year, a continuing resolution led to a last minute omnibus spending agreement in December (and that package included the rollback of the 2013 hours of service restart provision). However, some conservative Republicans, led by presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz , have threatened to block any spending that would continue to fund Planned Parenthood—and such a maneuver could lead to a shutdown of the federal government.
Additionally, in the dozen working days ahead of the budget deadline, Congress will vote on the Obama administration's nuclear agreement with Iran. And Pope Francis will pay a visit.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has yet to publish its hearing calendar for September.
So look for more "horrible, crazy stuff" before the highway bill can be given the attention it deserves.
House passes spending bill with pro-trucking provisions intact
Congress takes a break, highway bill issues remain
Senate signs off on 3-month highway funding extension

It was nearly a full house. We had to pull out an extra table so we could fit everyone one in.
First up, my apologies for missing a few peoples projects: someone is building a Raspberry Pi based water sprinkler system that will have a web based front end, another was experimenting with a Raspberry Pi Astro Hat.
a 300W dummy load/programmable battery tester, along with SMD gear, LEDs and a SMD capacitor/resistor tweezers based DM.
A quick visit in the morning to the local Jaycar procured some final parts for an Adjustable Power Supply Unit. Off to the left is a freshly painted laser cut housing for the unit.
In October 2016, three of us visited Shenzhen for an energetic 15 day whirlwind geek holiday. Initially we where going for the Shenzhen Makers Faire, some component and fabric shopping and of course to catch up on some late night story telling with the Dangerous Prototype crew.
This all changed a bit, when we bumped into some Canadians that where prepping for a makeFashion show at the Makers Faire. They invited us along to either just watch, chat or volunteer and help with the preparations. There had been sponsored by Seeed and where working out of the a room at their new office, so we jumped at the chance!
But first two of us took an early morning bullet train 140km North to Guangzhou, home of the twice a year Canton Import Export Fair. This is the largest trade fair in the world, with over 185,000 buyers visiting 60,000 booths. We only managed to visit maybe 20% of site in the day, before being kicked out at 18:00.
Below is an aerial photo showing the size of the complex. There is a metro train station at each end of the building. As a bit of a reference, the furthest building is around 500m long.
The dedicated returnees walked towing small luggage trolley luggage behind them, whereas noobs like us carried many kilos of gear in backpacks and fair bags. We did score some great booty though.
It is said that Shenzhen population has around 20-30 million people. The Canton Trade Fair is held in a city some 140km North of Shenzhen and its population is 14 million people and linked by two different high speed train lines! More than the population of Australia fitting in to a space less than Busselton to Perth!!
The Shenzhen Makers Faire was condensed from three days down to two due to an ill-timed typhoon. That made for an interesting experience. It was meant to be a direct hit, but it changed directions 5-6 hours earlier and landed 100km up the coast. The poor organises had to take the site down the day before and then put it up the day after the typhoon passed. It was a great show though. We scored a free ESP32 and break out board and a few RGB LED panels and chips.
This year, there seemed to be a lot more laser cut gear, having a laser cutter myself, I found the different materials, and joint techniques fascinating. They also had some nice looking 1mm thick plywood that was used a lot for cheap stiff signs.
The three of us volunteered our time (some more than others), to help them out with soldering, programming and sewing etc.
While working in the makeFashion room at Seeed, a Japanese guy brought in one of his Makers Faire "Face Box" that he was putting together - a cardboard box, fresnel lens and a few LED strips. At the Makers faire, the kids (and big kids) loved it.
The Shenzhen Metro system is a joy to travel in. Trains usually run every few minutes and are well air-conditioned. It relatively easy to navigate, as everything is in English/Chinese. For A$20, you can pick up a Metro card. You swipe in as you enter a station and swipe out as you exit a station. The maximum cost is around A$1.15 for an hour long train journey. On the day we left, they turned on two completely new underground metro lines, not a station, these are whole new lines! There is one more new one opening later in the year. This year they had four new high speed train lines connected up to the city. Some of them travel up to 300Km/hr.
The above is just a small part of what we managed to cram into our 15 day visit. I haven't talked much about the food, architecture, night life, typhoons, shopping, the accommodation. Shenzhen is a dynamic and exciting place to explore. We will all be going back again in 2017 for another geek adventure.

Barceló Hotel Group awarded for management
BARCELÓ Hotel Group was awarded Best Hotel Management Company 2019 at the World Travel Awards, which recognises excellence in the tourism sector.
Jaime Buxó, chief business development officer at Barceló Hotel Group, said: "Winning this award is an international milestone, which recognises the enormous work that we are doing to standardise our processes and offer an excellent management service worldwide."
"The hard work has already paid off; 56 per cent of our hotels are incorporated under the management regime and this formula has allowed us to sign agreements this year to enter seven new destinations. Hungary, Tunisia and Dubai landed in 2019; and hotels will open in the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Poland and Slovenia between 2021 and 2022."
Jaime Buxó continued: "This success has largely been due to the recognised ability of Barceló Hotel Group to sign agreements based on the needs of our local partners. It is something that differentiates us and positions us as a European hotel company with greater flexibility and ability to adapt to the particular needs of each hotel project."
Mandarin Oriental to manage Emirates Palace
MANDARIN Oriental Hotel Group has signed a management contract to manage, and ultimately brand, the iconic Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The group will take over management of the property from January 1, 2020. It will be Mandarin Oriental's second hotel in the UAE following the opening of Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai in early 2019.
The hotel will be rebranded as a Mandarin Oriental property, following a phased renovation over two years, during which time the hotel will remain open. The work will encompass significant upgrades to guestrooms and recreational amenities, as well as new food and beverage facilities.
The Emirates Palace hotel sits on a 1.3-kilometre private beachfront, featuring 394 guestrooms and suites, 12 restaurants and bars, 40 meeting rooms, a concert grade auditorium and a ballroom that can accommodate up to 2,500 people. Leisure facilities include a marina, two swimming pools, a spa and two fitness centres.
Radisson Blu in Al Ain completes renovation
LAST month, Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Al Ain revealed a new lobby, inspired by the resort's legacy, at the heart of the property with stylish warm interiors in azure and olive hues. Palm Court Café reopens as well with a new menu offering an array of refreshments and pastries for guests and visitors to enjoy as they gather, connect and simply savour the moment in the new lobby.
Abu Dhabi National Hotels, owner of the property, has previously announced a comprehensive renovation of Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Al Ain designed to reaffirm this historic hotel's position as a leading luxury resort in Al Ain. The renovation took place over the summer period and included all the rooms, suites and chalets, together with the lobby and restaurants.
JA's Seychelles gem gets recognised
JA Enchanted Island Resort has been awarded 'World's Leading Private Island Resort 2019' at the 2019 World Travel Awards ceremony in Muscat.
The ultra-luxurious hideaway consists of 10 exclusive villas on a private island in the Seychelles. Its unique location sits within a designated National Marine Park in the Seychelles -the Saint Anne Marine Park. Described as 'a paradise for intimate vacations', the five-star resort has won regional awards before but claimed the 'World's Leading Private Island Resort' this year due to outstanding customer feedback across multiple channels and review sites. The property has a 92 per cent guest satisfaction rate, largely due to the bespoke attention to detail and personalised service the focused team offer to guests.
The resort facilities have all taken shape around the island's natural landscape and walkways weave through large rock formations and natural scenery. Each of the ten villas has its own private pool, a private garden with private dining gazebo for intimate in-villa dining experiences and direct access to the pristine beach where the serene ambience is unparalleled.

Mediterranean migrant deaths in 2016 hit record 3,800: UN
Geneva (AFP) - At least 3,800 migrants and refugees have perished this year while trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe, the highest ever toll ever on the perilous route, the UN said Wednesday.
"We can confirm that at least 3,800 people have been reported dead or missing in the Mediterranean Sea so far this year, making the death toll in 2016 the highest ever recorded," UN refugee agency spokesman William Spindler told AFP in an email, as the figures passed last year's mark of 3,771.
The sombre milestone was reached despite a significant decline in migrant crossing this year compared to 2015.
Last year, more than a million people reached Europe via the Mediterranean, but crossings so far this year remain below 330,000.
Numbers began dropping dramatically following a March deal between Turkey and the European Union to stem the migrant tide on the Greek islands.
The most dangerous route has been between Libya and Italy, where the United Nations has recorded one death for every 47 arrivals this year.
For the much shorter Turkey to Greece route, the likelihood of perishing was one in 88, UNHCR said.
The agency explained that death rates have spiked despite nearly a two-thirds drop in total migration because smugglers are "often using lower quality vessels -- flimsy inflatable rafts that do not last the journey."
Smugglers also appear to be packing increasing numbers of people on boats, possibly to drive up profits, UNHCR further said.
Shipwrecks involving more people have reduced rescue rates, the agency added, also noting that several disasters this year have been linked to bad weather.
International arrivals to use RATs
Australia will accept a negative rapid antigen test from international arrivals with 24-hours of the flights departure, scrapping the requirement for a PCR test.The changes will come into effect from 1am on Sunday in a move that is consistent with domestic measures that accept RATs as a diagnostic tool.
Inquest into death of refugee after fall
Faysal Ishak Ahmed was in good health when he arrived at Manus Island's processing centre in October 2013.Just over three years later the 27-year-old Sudanese refugee was dead.

People's Choice Awards Finalist Scarlett Johansson Is One Super (Hero) Actress and Her Past Roles Prove It!
By Johnni Macke Oct 04, 2018 12:00 PMTags
E! ShowsMoviesAwardsScarlett JohanssonPeople's Choice AwardsShows2018 People's Choice Awards
CATCH UP!
The fans have spoken and Scarlett Johansson is a 2018 E! People's Choice Awards finalist.
The super (hero) actress will be competing against four amazing women for the title of Female Movie Star of 2018.
While it won't be an easy win since Sandra Bullock and Bryce Dallas Howard are among two of the other finalists in the category, Johansson's superhero character packs a mighty punch so she could come away with the trophy.
In addition to the New York City native being up for this honor for her role in Avengers: Infinity War the 2018 Marvel film itself is a six-time finalist in five different categories, which is the most of any film this year, so it's clear the superheroes came to win.
The good news is that Johansson isn't up against any fellow Avengers: Infinity War stars, unlike her male co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth who are both up for Male Movie Star of 2018.
Iron Man vs. Thor, who will win?!
E! People's Choice Awards 2018: By the Numbers
While you decide whether or not you're voting for Hemsworth or Downey Jr. as Male Movie Star of 2018, you can focus on Johansson, who portrays one of the fiercest characters, Black Widow, in the Avengers franchise.
In fact, you can vote for her now and then scroll through all of her iconic movie roles throughout her career, because let's face it, you can never have too much Johansson in your life.
PS: Now that we're in the final round of voting, all of the contenders have been reset back to zero, so you definitely need to make your voice heard before voting ends on Friday, Oct. 19.
Scarlett Johansson's Best Looks
The 2001 black comedy follows two teenagers who try to help a lonely, middle-aged man find love. The film has since become a cult classic.
Bill Murray plays an aging actor who befriends and eventually falls in love with Scarlett Johansson's character Charlotte when they both stay at the same Tokyo hotel.
Johansson worked with Woody Allenfor the 2005 psychological thriller about a wealthy man who enters into a dangerous affair. The role was originally given to Kate Winslet, but after she dropped out a week before filming began the part was rewritten for an American actress and given to Johansson.
Director Allen tailored the role of Sondra Pransky to Johansson, who the director believed had an underutilized "funny" quality to her while working on their previous film Match Point.
The Black Dahlia
Based on the true story of the murder of Elizabeth Short, this neo-noir crime film features the New York City native as the girlfriend of the lead detective in the murder case.
Christopher Nolan directed this mystery thriller about rival stage magicians in 19th century London. The director says that he wanted to cast Johansson in the role of Hugh Jackman's character's lover immediately, and thankfully, she loved the part.
The Weinstein Company
The Nanny Diaries
Before they were both members of the Avengers, Johansson and Chris Evans played two New Yorkers entering into a relationship. In this romantic comedy, the actress plays a nanny working for a elite Manhattan family.
This historical drama centers around aristocrats Anne and Mary Boelyn, both of whom had highly publicized relationships with King Henry VII.
The blonde actress is in a love triangle in this 2008 film directed by Allen. She starred alongside Penelope Cruz, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her part.
Lions Gate Entertainment
This unique neo-noir superhero film had actually been in development since the 1970s, finally being made in 2008. Johansson played a femme fatale scientist.
He's Just Not That Into You
The actress played a yoga teacher with aspirations of becoming a singer in this romantic comedy with an ensemble cast, featuring the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck and Drew Barrymore.
Johansson began playing her Marvel character in the second installment of the Iron Man series. She plays powerful superhero Black Widow, a member of the Avengers.
We Bought a Zoo
The 33-year-old actress plays a zookeeper in this 2011 family drama which follows a recently widowed father (Matt Damon) as he tries to move on from his wife's death while running a zoo.
In perhaps her biggest role yet, Johansson suited up as the Black Widow in this 2012 film. She says the physical training for the part was harder than any of her other films. The superhero film went on to gross over $1.5 billion dollars, the third-highest grossing movie of all time.
The veteran actress plays the titular character in this 2014 science fiction thriller film about a woman who is able to access 100% of her brain, gaining special abilities. The movie was a box-office hit, grossing 11 times more than it's $40 million budget.
The BAFTA winner voiced Ash, a rocker porcupine in the animated flick. The film was so successful that a sequel is set to be released in Dec. 2020.
The 2017 film was based on the popular Japanese manga of the same name. The casting of Johansson as a Japanese character caused wide-spread controversy and accusations of white-washing.
Johansson reprises her role as Black Widow in the 2018 Marvel film as the Avengers and their allies face off against the powerful Thanos whose goal is to end the entire universe.

The Sky Villa is the V Hotel in Dubai's most extravagant suite. And at US$10,000 per night, it should be.
Now, if you can drag yourself away from this incredible suite, the hotel itself is in quite a handy position in Dubai. The V Hotel - a Hilton property - is smack-dab in the middle of Habtoor City, which is five minutes away from Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa.
For those unawares, the V Hotel is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton.
Take a look at this 'Sensational Suite'.
