Culinary India – a food lover's journey
India may be known for the heat and spice of its cuisine, but what's not commonly understood is how flavours, textures and tastes change region by region. With Karma Royal Resorts and Karma Retreats in the north and south of the country, let us take you on the briefest of culinary journeys…
Jaipur and Rajasthan
India's northwest is known for heat – both on and off the plate! The desert and arid vistas of Rajasthan have imbued the region's cuisine with a heat all their own. No visit to Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, would be complete without sampling Laal Maas – a fiery slow-cooked lamb stewed with hot red chilies and whole spices.
Another famous Rajasthani dish is Ker Sangri, a local berry stewed with the hardiest of desert beans, sangri. Historically in times of drought sangri was a staple; the long bean thrives where other vegetables fail. It's also packed with protein, making it a reliable source of nutrition.
India owes much of its modern culinary variety to Goa. The state's position along the Arabian Sea saw Goa flourish as a hub of trade, in particular with the Portuguese, whose cultural influence deeply impacted the Goan way of life and can still be seen today.
As traders between Asia, the New World and the old, the Portuguese introduced potatoes, tomatoes, pineapples, cashews and – perhaps most importantly – the chilli pepper to Goa, which then spread this fiery little pepper to the rest of the continent. Today, it would be impossible to think of Goan – or indian- cuisine without these ingredients!
Goa is also known for its seafood and much of the State's most famous dishes come from the sea. A must try is the Goan prawn curry – a heady slow-cooked curry which uses tamarind, chilli powder, cumin, coriander and garlic to compliment the sweetness of fresh prawns from the Arabian Sea.
With its history as a melting pot of different religions (all with their own rules), it's no wonder that Kerala's cuisine leans towards vegetarian fare, along with some fish and chicken. But oh what flavour! Take the time to try a traditional Keralan Sadya – a vegetarian banquet consisting of between 24-28 dishes as standard, with some festive Sadyas consisting of 64 dishes served in a single course!

Mailbag: Why aren't there statewide ballot items in Ohio this year?
By: Tyler Buchanan - October 8, 2020 12:33 am
In this photo illustration a pencil lies on a U.S. presidential election mail-in ballot. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images).
The news never stops, and neither does the Mailbag. Let's get to it:
Got a question about Ohio politics or the elections? Send them to [email protected] or tweet them to @tylerjoelb.
Are there any important statewide ballot initiatives this year? I haven't heard or seen anything.
– Alex Wood, on Twitter.
Answer: Nope!
You've probably noticed a lack of TV and Facebook commercials from pseudo political groups like Ohioans for Ohio and People for the Betterment of People this fall. We don't have any such initiatives on the ballot this year.
That isn't for lack of trying. In early 2020, we saw proposed constitutional amendments to legalize marijuana and institute legislative term limits, along with a proposed referendum to raise Ohio's minimum wage.
Getting these issues on the ballot is a rigorous process. Organizers have to collect hundreds of thousands of valid signatures from throughout Ohio. Securing enough signatures is an undertaking in any year, but COVID-19 effectively ended any hopes of achieving this goal in 2020.
Organizers of the two proposed constitutional amendments sued in Franklin County court seeking to make the process easier by lowering the number of signatures needed and to allow for petitions to be "signed" online.
In short, Judge David C. Young didn't go for it.
We may need to wait until the virus subsides in order to see another ballot effort in 2021 or beyond.
As a reminder, voters can find exactly what is on their ballot by going to their county's board of elections website and searching for "sample ballot." (An example from Franklin County can be seen here.) This is a helpful tool to make sure there are no surprises when you head to the polls.
If we track our ballot and find out it was 'thrown out,' are we able to correct the issue (I.e. the signature doesn't match) and have our vote count?
– @jhenry1112, on Twitter.
Answer: Yes, you can.
This question concerns absentee ballots that voters can mail back to their boards of elections or drop off at their county's ballot drop box.
Ohio features a very helpful ballot tracker that keeps absentee voters apprised of their ballot's status.
This tracker will note when an absentee application was approved. If the application is missing some of the required information on it, the board of elections is supposed to contact the voter and inform them to resubmit a completed application form.
Once the application is approved, the tracker will also note the date a ballot was mailed out to a voter; the date the ballot was received by the board of elections; and the date the ballot was accepted for counting.
That final part is crucial. Boards don't actually count the ballots until the polls close on Election Day. But elections officials do check the absentee ballot for voter verification purposes.
One of the key aspects of absentee voting security in Ohio is a signature match — officials will cross-check the signature on an absentee application (and later the ballot itself) to see if it matches the signature on a voter's original registration file.
This signature match check has proven controversial among voting rights advocates, and there was an unsuccessful attempt at getting the process thrown out ahead of the 2020 election. Nevertheless, it remains in place for this fall.
If an absentee ballot is flagged — for a signature mis-match, missing information, etc. — the board of elections is required to contact the voter to get the issue resolved so that the ballot can eventually be counted. The board will send the voter a form to correct whatever was wrong with their original ballot.
Election Day is Nov. 3, but voters with ballot defects have a "cure period" of up to seven days after the election to resolve their issue to get it counted.
If a voter has any questions about the status of their ballot or how to resolve any issues, they should contact their county's board of elections office. A directory can be found here.
When will they begin to count mailed-in ballots? How will boards of elections store mailed-in ballots before they are counted?
– @FinintheLand, on Twitter.
Answer: Ballot counting begins after polls close on Election Day, and there is a secure process in place for how they are stored.
Let's start with the storage question first.
Absentee ballots are sent to Ohio voters who requested them, with the first batch going out on Oct. 6.
Election Day is not until Nov. 3. So what happens to the ballots in between?
The ballots are stored away inside a special room within each board of elections office that has a "dual-control lock system." A Democrat working in the office has one key or lock combination, and a Republican has the other. Both must be present in order to unlock the room and unload more ballots inside.
As we've written, this lock system is in place for storing other election equipment like voting machines.
The ballot storage room will store votes collected by mail and by drop box. A directive from Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose states that elections officials must retrieve a drop box's contents at least once per day between Oct. 6 and Nov. 3.
As far as counting goes, that does not start until the evening of Election Day. Absentee ballots are the first votes counted (while other polling places wrap up and poll workers bring their ballots back to the board of elections office).
The counting may take awhile. Ballots that are postmarked by Nov. 2 are eligible to be counted so long as the board receives them within 10 days of the election. This is why elections officials and media outlets are warning people ahead of time — it's possible that we don't know the winner of an election until the votes are fully counted and certified later in November.

BARC Animal Shelter and Adoptions will join numerous animal shelters and organizations across the U.S. for the national no kill "Just One Day" event. On June 11, BARC will not euthanize any animals that can be saved. BARC is waiving the fee for all dog and cat adoptions starting Friday, June 8 through Monday, June 11 at the BARC facility to celebrate the event. BARC is normally closed to the public on Mondays, but will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to adopters, fosters, and rescue groups to participate in this important event on June 11, 2012.
"Just One Day" unites BARC with numerous other organizations across the nation who wants to see every homeless pet find a home. According to the "Just One Day" website, more than 10,000 animals across the nation could be saved on June 11. BARC has numerous programs designed to give every healthy or treatable pet an opportunity to find a new home through adoption, foster programs, or placement with a rescue partner. To learn more about the BARC Adoption Process including basic eligibility requirements, please visit our "About Adopting at BARC" web page.
BARC also plans to offer $5 microchips on June 11 for dogs and cats that do not currently have one. Microchipping is a technology that creates a permanent identification number for dogs and cats. If a pet is lost or escapes from its yard and is taken to BARC, this embedded chip makes it easy to re-unite the pet and its owner.
The simplest, but most powerful thing you can do to help the BARC Houston shelter, and pets throughout our community, is to talk to your friends, neighbors, and family about caring for pets responsibly. To donate to BARC online via the Houston BARC Foundation, click here.
We encourage everyone to visit us online at www.houstonbarc.com.


Fashion brand barkers has joined forces with footwear maker McKinlays, a fifth generation Kiwi business, to make a limited edition boot called Sahara.
The leather version uses materials sourced from Tasman Leather in Whanganui, while an Italian supplier provided materials for the suede version.
The boot combines contemporary design with traditional manufacturing techniques, says Barkers head of merchandise Paul Biddle.
"We wanted to create a really honest, genuine interpretation of a classic Kiwi boot style using premium New Zealand materials," he says. "Two good Kiwi brands with plenty of heritage nutted out a contemporary design that brings traditional manufacturing techniques and materials together with modern, refined style."
The boots are made in McKinlay's factory in Dunedin. McKinlays began making footwear in 1879 after Scottish immigrant Robert McKinlay arrived in Dunedin in 1870. It's now run by the fifth generation of McKinlays - brothers Graeme and David McKinlay.
Barkers was started in 1972 by Raymond Barker with a store called Raymond's in Auckland's High St. It now has 26 stores and an online store.


This One Thing I Do!
Do you ever struggle with keeping the main thing, the main thing in your life? The real important things in life can get swallowed up in the minutia of everyday battles. It is as if Paul is reminding himself of what is really important to him in this passage. I have to keep reminding myself of what is really important as well. In order to pray more, I have to set aside more time to pray. If I want to study the Bible more, I have to set aside time to make sure that happens. Why? There is always something going on in my life to eat up those moments I want to give to the Lord. It is a battle and the only way to stay victorious is to keep reminding ourselves of what is important. Below is a story I reread every-so-often to remind myself to do the important things first.
A while back an expert on the subject of time management was speaking to a group of business students.
"Really?" he said. Then he reached under the table & pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel into the jar & shook it , causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.
Then he smiled & asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them said.
"Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table & brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in & it filled all the spaces between the rocks & the gravel. Once more he asked, "Is this jar full?" "No!" the class shouted. Again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a pitcher of water & began to pour in the water until the jar was filled to the brim.
Make sure and to put the BIG ROCKS in your life first this week!


IT branding is the process of building and improving the IT brand identity. This identity is shared by employees and groups that control the way they interact with each other, with stakeholders and with internal customers. It is a powerful tool in transforming the IT group into people who perform calculated, yet seemingly spontaneous, service delivery in the best interests of its internal customers.
This is part four of my series on IT branding. We have covered several perspectives on IT branding in the first three articles of this series. Part 1 talked about branding in general and how IT branding is linked to the Process Culture Maturity. In part two, the concept of IT branding was defined and how it was related to IT team culture. Part three talked about high quality IT service delivery as the best brand identity.
One establishes the IT brand by building trust in a promise about what the company does, what it stands for, what its vision is, and what added business value it can provide the internal customers and stakeholders. This is represented through the established IT vision and mission statement, customer value proposition and service offers. This promise must be developed by IT top management and its sponsors through extensive analysis of internal and external environment, interviews, and research. The Promise component of the IT branding process is achieved through vital scoping, visioning and strategic planning.
After writing the organization's promise, the next step is to build the engine that will enable service delivery. This is the IT Practice – comprised of IT operating model, mode of service delivery and various other methodologies. It ensures that IT teams achieve optimum results and performance. It will define the discipline in which IT systems, operations, projects and evolution will be managed. However, this discipline should not be constrained to a particular use of a vendor's product; rather, it should focus on providing a framework to structure IT related activities and the interaction of IT personnel with business customers and users.
The most important element of the IT brand is the People component. Everyone in IT must be in sync. For new team members, this is achieved through an adequate on-boarding process. For existing employees, ongoing organizational development and engagement initiatives will work. Communication is critical in this aspect. Top management must fully engage employees. It starts by communicating the Promise (IT mission and vision, strategy) and Practice (IT operating model and methodologies). Each team member must know his role and value in the overall service delivery system. It is important to note that the internal perception of the IT brand are affected by the IT team members' behavior, and that one must therefore shape the IT team culture in ways that encourage IT brand-committed actions on the part of all IT employees.
As discussed in part three of my articles on IT branding—what is central to IT branding is the relentless pursuit of quality IT services. Organizations build its IT brand by living up to its promise. IT teams strengthen its IT brand by relentlessly improving its IT brand promise. The surest way to do this is improving performance. IT managers must define key performance indicators to monitor performance against objectives. Measuring the success of IT branding initiatives is challenging; however, it is essential that every effort be made to measure results versus targets set forth.
One's perception of the IT service is often reduced to a phone conversation with a helpdesk service agent. IT branding depends on each and every individual working in the IT organization—the "People"—from the top, the CIO to middle IT managers then to the frontline helpdesk service agents. It is important that all IT personnel are in sync because the service brand is all about them. It is strengthened by the established "Promise" and "Practices" that enables IT organization to deliver with high "Performance".
In Part 1 of this series I talked about branding in general and how IT branding is linked to the Process Culture maturity of an IT organization. In Part 2, I listed the different rewards IT organizations can derive directly or indirectly from having a strong IT brand. I also defined the concept of IT Brand Identity and IT Branding.
IT Brand Identity marks the tangible representation of your IT brand. This representation can be in different forms – your mission and vision, your service offers, culture and style.
IT Branding is the process of building and improving IT brand identity. This identity or culture is shared by employees and groups that control the way you interact with each other and with stakeholders outside of t he company.
The relentless pursuit of high quality IT services is central to IT branding. It is the factory that creates meaningful stories in the hearts and minds of our internal customers. These stories ultimately shape the perception of your internal customers – thus, strengthening your IT brand identity. High quality IT service is the best IT brand identity. For a service organization like IT, the surest way to create trust is consistency in the delivery of services.
Quality is the best problem solver. IT organizations that consciously pursue quality in all its services take a proactive approach in problem management. This pursuit guides IT organizations on which problems to solve first and which opportunity to seize. Problem management practices are essential in this effort. First of all, problem management should be proactive. It should be focused on studying trends in order to reduce recurring issues and ensure long-term solutions by addressing root causes. Reducing IT incidents directly helps in improving customer or end-user experience in using IT services.
Quality is the best customer relationship. High quality in IT services is the silent salesman. Consistency in IT service delivery will create good perceptions and a positive experience for internal customers. I think that a high level of quality enables IT to function as a business partner of its customers. Somehow it is the same as selling a product in the market. No matter how much you spend in advertising and promotions, if the product is questionable and does not have good quality, it will be difficult to sell. It is important for IT to focus on delivering high quality products and services right the first time. This is done through effective change management and high quality implementations.
Quality is your best identity. IT branding and quality of IT services delivery are two sides of the same coin, in that high quality IT services creates a good IT brand identity. The level of quality in your company's IT services determines how your organization is perceived by your partners and internal customers. It is important for IT managers to understand that the organization establishes its brand by building trust. The best way to create trust is consistency in providing high quality services.
One can define quality in many different ways depending on the point of view. However, quality in the perspective of a service organization such as IT is defined entirely by the customers. The customers' perception is reality. Quality is based on the customer's assessment of his or her entire customer experience which is the consolidated evaluation of the organization's different touch points. Again, I believe that the persistent pursuit of high quality IT services is central to IT branding. High quality IT service is the best IT brand identity. For a service organization like IT, the surest way to create trust is consistency in the delivery of services.

In genetica si parla di disomia uniparentale quando un individuo riceve due copie di un cromosoma (oppure un cromosoma intero e una parte del secondo cromosoma) da uno dei due genitori e nessuna copia cromosomica dall'altro genitore. La disomia uniparentale è definita eterodisomia quando un paio di cromosomi non identici è ereditato da un singolo genitore a causa di un errore durante la meiosi I, mentre è detta isodisomia quando un singolo cromosoma parentale viene duplicato nell'ambito della meiosi II e dunque ereditato. La disomia uniparentale può alterare il naturale imprinting genomico parentale nei confronti del figlio e ciò può essere causa di diverse malattie genetiche. L'isodisomia, in particolare, aumenta la manifestazione di geni in omozigosi all'interno del corredo genetico del figlio e ciò aumenta le probabilità di espressione fenotipica di caratteri a ereditarietà recessiva, similmente a quanto si osserva con il passare delle generazioni all'interno di popolazioni con un elevato indice di consanguineità.

Epidemiologia e storia
L'incidenza complessiva dei casi di disomia uniparentale è stimata attorno a un caso ogni  nati vivi, ma alcuni studi suggeriscono un'incidenza maggiore. La disomia uniparentale fu documentata per la prima volta nel 1988 in una bambina di 7 anni affetta da fibrosi cistica che, all'analisi del genoma, risultò avere entrambe le copie di cromosoma 7 di derivazione materna. Successivamente, tra i 47 possibili tipi diversi di disomia, ne sono stati individuati 29 in tutto il mondo.

Fisiopatologia
La disomia uniparentale può avvenire casualmente durante la formazione dell'oocita o dello spermatozoo, oppure può avvenire nelle fasi iniziali dello sviluppo dell'embrione. Essa può anche essere il risultato di un fenomeno di trisomic rescue, che avviene quando un oocita fecondato si ritrova con tre cromosomi omologhi durante l'anafase II e perde successivamente uno dei tre, restando con due cromosomi omologhi costituiti dallo stesso genoma.

Se i loci genici dei cromosomi omologhi (non identici, in caso di eterodisomia e identici, nel caso di isodisomia) non vanno incontro a fenomeni di crossing over, si verifica disomia uniparentale. Esistono inoltre casi di isodisomia dovuti ad una duplicazione cromosomica occorsa a zigote già in fase di sviluppo.

Influenza fenotipica
Seppur la maggior parte dei casi di disomia uniparentale non provochi anomalie fenotipiche, per l'individuo portatore della condizione la probabilità di manifestare sindromi a ereditarietà autosomica recessiva, altrimenti rare, è molto più elevato che nella popolazione generale. Viene comunemente sospettato un evento di disomia uniparentale quando in un bambino si manifesta una malattia ad ereditarietà recessiva nel caso in cui uno solo dei genitori sia portatore, in eterozigosi, della forma allelica responsabile della malattia.

Gli squilibri nella modulazione dell'imprinting genomico dovuti alla trasmissione al figlio di una doppia copia cromosomica di uno solo dei due genitori possono comportare ritardo globale dello sviluppo, oligofrenia e altre problematiche cliniche. Le malattie più diffuse associate a questa sregolazione dell'imprinting sono la sindrome di Prader-Willi e la sindrome di Angelman, entrambe causate dalla disomia uniparentale del cromosoma 15; i geni la cui alterazione dell'espressione può comportare queste patologie sono localizzati nel braccio lungo del cromosoma; la sindrome di Beckwith-Wiedemann è spesso il risultato di una disomia uniparentale a carico del cromosoma 11. Anomalie di imprinting genomico relative al cromosoma 14, inoltre, sono responsabili di svariate sindromi caratterizzate da anomalie scheletriche, ritardo mentale, contratture delle articolazioni e altri segni clinici.

This is the latest in the series of blogs on Carbon Brief's new energy and climate change poll. It was written by Ros Donald and Christian Hunt and the original is available here.
Are scientists, communicators and policymakers too preoccupied about whether people 'believe' in human-caused climate change or not? Polling by Carbon Brief shows that while people may not be sure whether humans are warming the planet, the majority still wants action now to abate climate change.
According to polling carried out for Carbon Brief by Opinium, 89 per cent of respondents said they believe climate change is happening. Only six per cent said they did not believe the climate is changing.
But opinion was divided when it came to what's causing climate change. The majority – 56 per cent – said humans are causing the warming, but a significant number – around 33 per cent – believe it's mostly down to natural causes.
Question: Which of the following statements do you agree with most? Climate change is happening and is mostly caused by humans; Climate change is happening and is mostly caused by natural processes; Climate change is not happening.
How significant is this? We found that despite the confusion about what's causing global warming, 67 per cent of respondents want action to abate emissions now. That's compared to 13 per cent who said we don't need to worry about doing anything now and 12 per cent who said it would never be a problem.
Question: Which of the following statements do you agree with most?
So whatever people's beliefs about the causes of climate change, they still want us to do something about it.
This result mirrors the outcome of an Angus Reid poll, released just after the Copenhagen climate summit and the leak of climate scientists' emails from the University of East Anglia in 2010. These events are widely reported in the media as being the cause of much skepticism in the public.
Yet even at this time, when 'belief' in climate change appears to have taken a knock, people still said they wanted action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly two thirds of those who said they think climate change hadn't been proven were still satisfied that countries had committed to reducing emissions under the Copenhagen Accord.
Carbon Brief also wanted to find out what people thought would happen to the weather in 10 years' time as the climate warms.
Most people – 68 per cent – said there will be more rainfall as a result of climate change. The second-highest percentage – 46 per cent – said climate change would lead to colder winters. 36 and 34 per cent respectively said there would be hotter and drier summers and more summer heatwaves. 27 per cent said there would be warmer winters and 12 per cent said there would be less rainfall.
Perhaps these answers aren't surprising. They come after a particularly wet year: 2012 was the second-wettest on record, according to the UK Environment Agency. It's also been an extremely cold winter, and doesn't look set to get any warmer until the end of April, the Met Office has warned.
These results appear to mirror findings from a previous survey by researchers from the University of British Columbia, which suggested local weather conditions can influence people's attitudes to climate change. Carbon Brief's climate change questions are going to be issued once every six months, so we will be able to measure whether this finding applies to our questions, too.
Question: To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements about what is likely to happen in the next ten years as a result of climate change?
We wanted to be sure whether the terms 'climate change' and 'global warming' meant different things to people, so we split up some of our questions – with half answering questions on climate change and the other half answering on global warming. We found that there doesn't appear to be much difference between the two in people's minds.
83 per cent said they thought global warming is happening, with 52 per cent saying it's mostly human-caused and 31 per cent saying it's mostly natural. Only eight per cent said it's not happening. 65 per cent said we should act now, 12 per cent said we don't need to worry at the moment and 14 per cent said it would probably never be a problem.
Carbon Brief conducted a poll of over 2,000 people, asking questions about their attitudes to climate change and energy policy. We have released the full results today – you can download our climate polling results here and the energy findings here.

NASA set for first 4K live-stream from space | What Hi-Fi?
While it's becoming more available, 4K content is still a little thin on the ground. But here's one piece of 4K content that's going to be quite literally out of this world: a live-stream from space.
On the evening of Wednesday 26th April, NASA will live-stream a roundtable discussion taking place on the International Space Station. The powwow will feature legendary astronaut Peggy Whitson, and be beamed back to Earth in 4K Ultra HD resolution - no mean feat, considering most TV broadcasters haven't got to grips with 4K yet.
Of course, to see it in all its glory, you'll need a 4K TV or monitor. If you don't have the right kit, you can watch a low-resolution version on the NASA Facebook page or NASA TV.
The live-stream is being carried out in conjunction with Amazon Web Services, the e-tail giant's cloud computing arm and can be viewed here.
4K footage has been beamed from space before, but never live. The footage will be filmed using a RED Dragon Digital Cinema Camera.
The discussion itself could also prove interesting for anyone interested in image quality, cinema and space. It's titled 'Reaching for the Stars: Connecting the Future with NASA and Hollywood', and will explore how "advanced imaging and cloud technologies are taking scientific research and filmmaking to the next level".
The fun starts at 6:30pm UK time on the 26th. We'll see you there!


I have to embed a Tableau Public viz (Tableau Public) which has 4 tabs (4 related dashboards) which share the same set of filters and changing any filter on any of the tabs gets reflected on other tabs as well.
This helps the user to navigate to other tabs and retain the same set of filters. I have published with 'show sheets as tabs' option selected.
If I embed this viz as the original view with the default filters, this works fine - all the tabs are displayed with default filter. But there are cases where I want to change the filters on the viz and embed all the 4 tabs for the new filters.
I am only aware that if I change the filter and want to embed the resulting view, then I will have to use the Embed code from the Current view option under Share option. But this Current code does not show all the 4 tabs on embedding. Even if I add the <param name='tabs' value='yes'/> code, it shows only the one tab not all the tabs.
Please let me know if this is feasible in Tableau Public or any help on this will be great.
Any chance you could provide the 2 separate sets of embed code so we can take a closer look?
I have attached the two files - one having the Original View code generated from Tableau Public.
The other one is the Current View code which is generated after I change the value of the filter (Metric: Establishment by Industry (CEW)).
So while the Original View code shows all the 4 tabs after adding the above line, the Current View code only shows one tab (which is the tab from where the code was generated).
My aim is to show all the tabs every time whenever I change filters and embed those views.
I hope I have clarified properly. Please let me know if you need any further detail.


Darla is the talented 'black sheep' of the cello section of a prestigious university orchestra. She's the quirky mega-A student we all know and despise yet love who gives the teachers hell, but they like her anyway. And Sergiu is the prodigy-pianist who's piano isn't overcompensating for anything. Despite the cold war between the two for grades, they manage a small infatuation. Is it love or just a scherzo? Either way, good times lie ahead.

Facebook Data Whistleblower: 'Fake News to the Next Level'
Late Friday, Facebook said it would ban Cambridge Analytica, saying the company improperly obtained information from 270,000 people who downloaded a purported research app described as a personality test. Facebook first learned of the breach more than two years ago, but hasn't disclosed it until now. Photo courtesy Flickr/Acid Pix
NEW YORK (AP) — A Trump-affiliated firm under scrutiny for inappropriately obtaining data on tens of millions of Facebook users created profiling algorithms that "took fake news to the next level," a former employee said.
Chris Wylie said the firm, Cambridge Analytica, secured personal data in order to learn about individuals and then used it to create an information cocoon to change their perceptions.
"This is based on an idea called 'informational dominance,' which is the idea that if you can capture every channel of information around a person and then inject content around them, you can change their perception of what's actually happening," Wylie said.
In an interview Monday on NBC's "Today," Wylie said Cambridge Analytica aimed to "explore mental vulnerabilities of people." He said the firm "works on creating a web of disinformation online so people start going down the rabbit hole of clicking on blogs, websites etc. that make them think things are happening that may not be."
This idea of "information dominance," of propaganda, Wylie told The Guardian newspaper earlier, is the notion that if you can control all of the streams of information to your opponents, "you can influence how they perceive that battle space and you can then influence how they're going to behave and react."
Late Friday, Facebook said it would ban Cambridge Analytica, saying the company improperly obtained information from 270,000 people who downloaded a purported research app described as a personality test. Facebook first learned of the breach more than two years ago, but hasn't disclosed it until now.
The developments are the latest to show how people try to exploit Facebook in ways that could sway elections, and in the worst cases even undermine democracy. Before the Cambridge imbroglio, there were Russian agents running election-related propaganda campaigns through targeted ads and fake political events.
Wylie claimed Cambridge Analytica used the data it had while speaking with Russian businesses. He also said that while political ads are also targeted at specific voters, what's different here is that people wouldn't know they were getting messages aimed at influencing their views.
Cambridge Analytica has denied wrongdoing and said it deleted all data it received from a contractor after learning the data had been obtained in violation of Facebook policies. The firm said none of that data was used in its 2016 election work for the "avoidance of doubt." President Donald Trump's campaign Saturday denied using the firm's data, saying it relied on the Republican National Committee for its data.
Wylie left Cambridge Analytica in 2014, and it's not clear how the firm targeted people with misinformation during the 2016 presidential campaign. What is clear is that two-thirds of Americans get at least some of their news on social media, according on Pew Research Center, and about 20 percent do so "often." While people don't exist in a Facebook-only vacuum, it is possible that bogus information users saw on the site could later be reinforced by the "rabbit hole" of clicks and conspiracy sites on the broader internet, as Wylie described.
While Wylie said he doesn't know whether Trump's campaign used the techniques, he said Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was meeting with Cambridge Analytica in 2015, before Trump even announced his run for office.

Triad color scheme may help you select colors that will compliment your primary color; but depending on your primary color, the generated colors may not be pleasing (complimentary... yes, pleasing... no)! Use it as a guide, not a rigid rule.
Uses "Magnify.exe" in Win8.1 and Win10 to assist in picking screen colors; you can control the magnification setting through Windows "Ease of Access" settings.
You can click on a color in the spectrum image, middle-click for a desktop color picker, or enter the RGB value directly. Colors will be generate automatically. You can change the Color shift degrees to tweak the compl1 / Compl2 colors (default 30 degrees). Complimentary and Opposite RGB Values can be easily copied to the clipboard for use in your skins.
Note: Rainmeter.exe 'Properties', 'Compatibility', 'High DPI Settings' should be set to 'Override high DPI scaling by Application', otherwise you will get erroneous colors using the color spectrum and picker.
V 1.2019.02.12 Added the ability to write the 3 color values (Opposite, Complimentary1, and Complimentary2 colors) to your own variables in a separate file. See the [Variables] settings in the skin to set this up. The action to write these is done from the gradient titles below the spectrum. Also added DPI scaling based on your screen DPI setting (see note above).

Good work eclectic-tech, thanks. I'm planning creating some skins, where I could use your work (not necessary to pick the opposite color, but "main" one, definitely), if you agree. This skin would be used instead of the RainRGB 4.0, to avoid using and including in the skin installer, an exe.
Just a side note, I mention a while ago, rbriddickk84 also wrote a similar skin to pick colors and then he also posted it here, on the forum. He named his work EasyRGB pick 2.04. That skin didn't pick the opposite color, but could be used to pick the primary color.
Both this and Kaelri's TestColorSpectrum skin use a lua script to determine selected color. It is not as robust as RainRGB, but might work for you.
If you don't need alternate colors, you could trying Kaelri's TestColorSpectrum skin. The main difference is his skin returns both decimal and hex values and comes in Large/Small versions.
His original post is lost somewhere, but you can find a copy here.

Thanks eclectic-tech, I also will try Kaelri's TestColorSpectrum skin.

Definitely. I hate to include a .exe in my skin installers, as much as this is possible. I always try to get some such solution, to replace a .exe with a .ini, with or without a .lua.
I suppose this means it's ok to include your code into my work. Right? Thanks if yes.
Ok, I'll mention both of you (you and Kaelri) as the author of the skins I took the idea from. Thanks.
Building a color picker like RainRGB in Rainmeter / Lua probably wouldn't be terribly hard, the key is that you don't want to think in RBG (Red, Green, Blue), but rather in HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness). If you look at RainRGB carefully, what is "returned" is RGB, but it is based on picking colors using HSB.
I have already posted code here in the forums that can convert between HSB and RGB.
The only reason I didn't, and won't, give up my .exe RainRGB is that I depend on the "picker" part of the functionality. Being able to drag an eyedropper to any point on the screen and get the color under the magnified cursor is critical to me.

My skin is more about finding colors that hopefully won't clash with a color that is chosen. It can be a color picker, but that was only added as an option to inputting your color value. The main purpose I had in mind was to generate alternate colors.
For flexibility and end user color selection, I would use RainRGB.
To help determine alternate colors, I would use ColorTriad.
Sorry matey, this thread be hijacked! Arrrr!

Die Strömgren-Sphäre, benannt nach Bengt Strömgren, ist in der theoretischen Astrophysik das H-II-Gebiet um einen Stern, in dem dieser durch seine ultraviolette Strahlung einen Wasserstoffnebel ionisieren kann. Im Idealfall homogener Gasdichte ist dieser Nebel kugelförmig.

Am Rande der Strömgren-Sphäre ist alle ionisierende Strahlung verbraucht, und das ionisierte Gebiet endet. Genaue Rechnungen zeigen, dass dieser Übergang von hauptsächlich ionisiertem zu neutralem Gas über eine Distanz erfolgt, die im Vergleich zur Größe des Nebels kurz ist; die Strömgren-Sphäre ist also scharf begrenzt. Der Radius einer Strömgren-Sphäre hängt ab von der spektralen Energieverteilung und von der Dichte des Wasserstoffnebels. Normalerweise erzeugen nur Sterne der Spektralklassen O oder B Strahlungsfelder mit genügend ultravioletter Strahlung, um nennenswerte Strömgren-Sphären zu haben.

Mathematische Beschreibung
Das Gleichgewicht zwischen der Zahl der Rekombinationen von ionisiertem Wasserstoff und freien Elektronen zu neutralem Wasserstoff H0 (linke Seite) und der Zahl der Ionisationen neutralen Wasserstoffs (rechte Seite), jeweils pro Sekunde im gesamten ionisierten Nebel, lässt sich beschreiben als

Burkhalter: anti-terror measures a 'priority'
Caroline Bishop - [email protected] • 20 Feb, 2015 Updated Fri 20 Feb 2015 12:24 CEST
Combating violent extremism is a "priority" in Switzerland, Swiss foreign minister and former president Didier Burkhalter has said, telling a counter-terrorism summit in Washington this week that Switzerland has measures in place to prevent the radicalization of youth and the financing of terrorism.
Speaking at the summit on Thursday, Burkhalter, who took on the Swiss rotating presidency last year, said preventing terrorism was "one of the major challenges of our generation", reported news agencies.
"We must take effective measures to block the financing of terrorism and reinforce our laws," he said.
At the invitation of US Secretary of State John Kerry, the former president joined representatives from governments around the world at the Washington summit, which aimed to agree a common position against violent extremism, with socio-political and economic measures central to the debate.
Outlining Switzerland's own strategy, Burkhalter said societies should "offer some perspective" to young people who let themselves be recruited and radicalized by terror groups.
Helping young people find alternatives for their lives is "key" to extinguishing the flames of terrorism.
"The task is huge, it will take time and determination," he said.
In Switzerland numerous organizations at different levels, including religious groups, are involved in the task, said Burkhalter.
He highlighted the training model in Switzerland, where the youth unemployment rate is a low 3.5 percent, compared to an average 14.6 percent in countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
This "good economic integration, along with considered town planning" has avoided ghettoization in Switzerland, he said.
Burkhalter also underlined the country's continued support for the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF), recently established in Geneva, to which Switzerland is contributing $5 million over four years.
GCERF is a public-private global partnership enabling the international community to bolster grass-roots efforts to combat radicalization and recruitment in local communities.
The funds will go towards creating jobs for young people in pilot countries including Bangladesh, Mali, Morocco and Nigeria.
"This is a big opportunity to establish a long-term strategy," said Burkhalter.

Chris Sabatino – Maybe Not This Time
AMAZON: http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-This-Time-Chris-Sabatino/dp/B00YDF981A
From small town Ohio, Chris Sabatino sounds like a man on a mission on his debut EP, Maybe Not This Time. He certainly draws a lot of inspiration from old country artists as well as blue-collar rockers like Mellencamp and Petty. The tunes are held together with acoustic guitars, electric leads, standard time-keeping and Sabatino's rough voice and down and out lyricism. Thank goodness he's not coming from that modern line of country where rap and pop take over the grit of the songwriting.
The EP's opener "Rockstar" is a biting expose about making it in the music industry with Sabatino rattling off hard truths while working his way up to a strong chorus. His little late game lead lick is spiced with soul, and his vocals have a particular snarl to them with good range for the hook melodies. He can go low and he can go, the versatility of his voice giving the song its character. "Garbage" is even darker with a funeral organ adding backing melodies over a tub-thumping beat and a hard plucked acoustic guitar. Sabatino's voice is wrought with loss and frustration about being thrown aside by a friend or lover. He sure as heck isn't singing a happy song and sells the darkness well with a certain emotional fervor lacking in modern country. He gets a roughshod growl going in the chorus, as subtle electric guitar backing eventually turns to a full-blown, scorching southern-fried lick.
"Escape" moves at a minimal, bluesy crawl with the drummer barely keeping time, the bass shucking deep heavy single notes and the guitar occasionally chiming in with a downward strum. Chris doesn't allow any light to shine in, sealing the cracks of the song with airtight musicianship that has an almost flamenco flavor on the guitar whenever the acoustics kick in. Those hoping for an explosion of time-changes or shake-ups will be sorely disappointed that the song stays in this mode throughout, but in the end it proves effective for maintaining a dogged mood at all times. "Here with Me" follows the same template but allows more prominent guitar and vocal to cut through the dense, slow, bluesy fog. Again, Sabatino isn't a happy man, but avoids teenage angst clichés and really comes across as a man truly down on his luck. Closer "You're the Only One" fully features the electric and acoustic guitars with plenty of support from the organ. It's a subtle yet upbeat with many layers and a chorus where Sabatino shines on the hook just enough to make it stick. This track is a welcome return from the soul-baring bleakness of the prior couplet and ends the record on exactly the note needed.
Maybe Not This Time is a challenging listen. If you stick with it, you'll be rewarded with thoughtful songwriting and subdued, yet excellent, instrumentation. Sabatino doesn't write tunes for the mainstream and broadcasts his music from an alley more often than a high rise apartment building. In the end, this EP feels real and Chris is definitely a talent you should keep an eye on.
8 out of 10 stars.

Split Grade printing in it's most basic form is a process whereby two exposures are given, one through a Grade 5 filter and one through a Grade 00 filter. These two exposures can be varied in order to arrive at the correct contrast for almost any negative. I have another, simpler version which I will write about at a later date, but for now I'll explain this method.
As I said, there are two exposures given, one through a Grade 5 and one through a Grade 00. That is the theory anyway, -but in reality some negatives only need one filter to print. This is especially true with extremely thin negatives which can only be printed on a Grade 5.
Let's go back to basics: To simplify, the photographic emulsion in a Variable Contrast or Multigrade paper is made up of two light sensitive layers. One is sensitive to green light and gives a long range of greys from pale white through to dark grey, it won't give a deep black unless it's grossly overexposed. The other layer is sensitive to blue light and gives a very high contrast result, consisting of mainly black and white, with very few intermediate tones.
White light gives roughly equal amounts or both green and blue light, so exposing without a filter activates both layers giving a contrast between the two extremes, -roughly grade 2, depending on enlarger type. Using a Grade 2 filter also activates both layers equally, but reduces exposure time because of the density of the filter.
When two different exposures are given, one of the layers is activated more than the other and this moves the contrast away from grade 2.
Because this subject needs a full explanation beyond the space I have here, I have made a demonstration video which should make the point more clearly.
The video is currently unavailable, but I will restore it soon and give the link here. Please accept my apologies.

Fashion Maven... Mommy: Elite Serum - Botox Without The Needles!!!
Elite Serum - Botox Without The Needles!!!
One of my favorite skin care items to test is anything that helps tighten and conceal dark under eye circles! While I've tested some gems lately, Elite Serum is certainly no exception! In fact, I think it's a step above the rest! This clear serum has not only tightened my under eye area, it has really helped my dark circles even out. I have truly noticed such a difference since I started using this a few weeks ago. It goes on smoothly and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Once it's dry, you'll notice a slight tightening of the skin. I use this morning and night and find that it's quite soothing on the under eye area. I typically have very sensitive eyes and am quite particular with my eye creams/serums. This one passed with flying colors! It's fragrance free and completely easy on my eyes! I wholeheartedly agree with Elite Serum's claims that it lifts and firms the skin, smooths out fine lines, minimizes eye puffiness and lightens dark circles. I simply LOVE this serum and am quite positive you will too!

Gregorio Milian Perfecto (November 28, 1891 – August 17, 1949) was a Filipino journalist, politician and jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines from 1945 to 1949. A controversial figure who was described as an "apostle of liberal causes", Perfecto was notable for his libertarian views, his colorful writing style, and the frequency of his dissenting opinions while on the Supreme Court.

Early life
Perfecto was born in Mandurriao, Iloilo. When he was a youth, his family moved to Ligao, Albay, where he received his primary education. He finished his secondary education at San Beda College in Manila. Perfecto entered Colegio de San Juan de Letran, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree. He then enrolled in the law program of the University of Santo Tomas, where he received his law degree. Perfecto passed the bar examinations and was admitted to the Philippine Bar in 1916.

Journalist
Perfecto practiced law for some time, then began a career for journalism as a reporter for the La Vanguardia and the Consolidacion Nacional newspapers. By 1919, Perfecto was the editor of the La Nacion daily newspaper. His tenure at La Nacion proved controversial, as he embarked on crusades against corruption and errant public officials. He was sued for criminal libel at least four times, the complaints being lodged by various local and national officials, including by the Philippine Senate. He was nonetheless acquitted of all charges by the Philippine Supreme Court, in a series of decisions promulgated between 1921 and 1922.

Politician
In 1922, Perfecto was elected to the Philippine Legislature, as a representative from the North District of Manila. He served until 1928. In 1931, Perfecto was stricken with polio and was left disabled by the disease. Though he was unable to walk without the assistance of crutches, Perfecto recovered well enough to be able to resume playing golf.

Perfecto was a member of the Partido Democrata founded by Claro M. Recto, eventually becoming its general secretary and general provisional president. Among the leaders of the Partido Democrata was then Senator Sergio Osmeña, who would later appoint him to the Supreme Court.

In 1934, Perfecto was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention that drafted the 1935 Constitution. After the constitution had been drafted, Perfecto had a doctor open a vein in his arm so he could sign the document using his own blood as ink. Following the approval of the Constitution in a plebiscite, Perfecto was elected to represent the North District of Manila again in the National Assembly. He served in such capacity for two terms, from 1935 to 1941. He advocated for laws for the improvement of conditions for the employment of laborers, and for the grant of women's suffrage.

Justice of the Supreme Court
In June 1945, Perfecto was appointed by President Sergio Osmeña to the Supreme Court, which had been reorganized following the end of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. He served on the court until his death in 1949.

In his four years on the court, Perfecto authored 172 majority opinions and over 200 separate opinions, including 195 dissenting opinions. He is the only Justice in Philippine Supreme Court history to have penned more dissenting opinions than majority opinions. In all, Perfecto dissented 20.6% of the time during his tenure on the court, there having been 945 decisions handed down during that period.

Impeachment proceedings were initiated against Perfecto in Congress for converting his office into living quarters, though he had done so with the authorization of Chief Justice Manuel Moran on account of his physical disability. Perfecto charged that the attempts at impeachment, which were ultimately unsuccessful, were politically motivated.

Jurisprudence
Perfecto's dissenting and concurring opinions are better remembered than his majority opinions. Of the ponencias he authored, the most consequential was Co Chiong v. Cuaderno, 83 Phil. 242 (1949) wherein the court affirmed a law granting preference to Filipino citizens in the lease of public market stalls.

Perfecto's separate opinions give a clearer indication of his jurisprudential philosophy. His firm libertarian views were fully expressed in several dissents. In Raquiza v. Bradford, 75 Phil. 50 (1945), he voted to grant habeas corpus to three Filipinos detained by the United States military as Japanese spies, despite a proclamation from General Douglas MacArthur ordering the indefinite detention of Filipinos who collaborated with the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. In Moncado v. People's Court, 80 Phil. 1 (1948), the majority refused to adopt the exclusionary rule as a consequence of an illegal search or seizure. Perfecto wrote in dissent: "May the government profit from an illegality, an unconstitutional act, or even a crime to serve its aims, including the loftiest? May justice be administered by making use of the fruits of a lawless action?"

In In re Subido, 81 Phil 517 (1948), the majority had found a newspaper editor guilty of contempt for prematurely but correctly reporting that the court had voted to bar foreigners from acquiring agricultural lands in the Philippines in Krivenko v. Director of Lands, 79 Phil. 461. In his dissent, Perfecto admitted that he was the editor's source for the report, but defended his action by observing that in the several months after the vote, before the decision was finally released, the issue had been widely debated in the media, and a rush had begun to complete the transfer of lands to foreigners. Perfecto also defended the editor, who he said had performed a public service but was being punished for publishing the truth, and asserted that press freedom was a constitutional right.

Dissenting in Dizon v. Commanding General, 81 Phil. 286 (1948), Perfecto argued that the grant of extraterritorial jurisdiction to the United States government over criminal offenses committed within American military bases established through the 1947 RP-US Military Bases Agreement was unconstitutional, since the Constitution granted such jurisdiction only to Philippine courts. Perfecto criticized what he perceived as the servility of the Philippine government to the United States. "This Supreme Court has the power to stop the rampage of constitutional breaches in which other agencies of our government are indulging in a servile attitude of complaisance to former masters who are bent on keeping in their hands the strings, the chains, and the whip of unquestioned command. Our oath of office compels us to exercise that power. We do not entertain much respect for the Soviet satellites in Eastern and Central Europe. Shall we allow ourselves to go down in history as a mere American satellite?"

Perfecto was not hesitant in insisting upon judicial review over acts of the executive or legislative branches of government, even against the defense that the issues raised were political questions. In Mabanag v. Lopez Vito, 78 Phil. 1 (1947), Perfecto dissented after the majority declined to examine whether the requisite votes in the House and Senate were obtained in the passage of an amendment to the Constitution allowing American citizens the right to use and develop natural resources in the Philippines. In Avelino v. Cuenco, 83 Phil. 17 (1949) Perfecto again dissented when the majority refused to rule on the validity of the election of Mariano Jesús Cuenco as acting Senate President. Perfecto opined that while the questions raised were political in nature, they were "justiciable because they involve the enforcement of legal precepts, such as the provisions of the Constitution and of the rules of the Senate."

Writing style
In writing his opinions, Perfecto employed "picturesque language" which according to Justice Isagani Cruz had "earned him a special place in jurisprudence" and would "enliven generations of law students to come". After his death, it was suggested by his friend, Senator Tomas Cabili, that "he must have deliberately used intemperate and exaggerated language, to the consternation of the bar and the bench, because it was the only effective means with which he could pierce through the fog of hazy understanding of the masses of what a real democracy means; perhaps he had to shout hard so many could hear him."

Among some of Perfecto's more memorable passages are:

The present is liable to confusion. Our minds are subject to determinate and indeterminate ideological pressures. Very often man walks in the darkness of a blind alley obeying the pullings and pushings of hidden and unhidden forces, or the arcane predeterminations of the genes of human chromosomes.

Man is easily deceived into committing blunders or led into the most absurd aberrations. The mysterious genes which keep uninterrupted the chain of heredity, while permitting the transmission of the best qualities and characteristics, seems to lack the power of checking and staving off the tendencies of atavism. In the moral ctetology, either kind of characteristics and qualities may be originated and developed… To set two moral standards, a strict one for private individuals and another vitiated with laxity for the government, is to throw society into the abyss of legal ataxia. Anarchy and chaos will become inevitable. Such a double standard will necessarily be nomoctonous.

It is useless to panegyrize democracy as the best political system ever conceived, when once put into practice it is sabotaged by the double-dealing of the men on whose shoulders weighs the responsibility of making it a success. A sham democracy is a fertile breeding ground for any doxy that may offer the allurement of a promissory land, where the masses will enjoy better conditions of life.

Death
Perfecto died on August 17, 1949, after a brief illness. A Freemason, he was reconciled with the Catholic Church shortly before his death.

Shortly before his death, Perfecto took the highly unusual step of filing in his behalf a petition with the Supreme Court arguing that the salaries of judges and justices were exempted from income taxes by the Constitution. The case was decided in his favor after his death, though Justice Roman Ozaeta, in dissent, expressed that "[i]t is indeed embarrassing that this case was initiated by a member of this Court upon which devolves the duty to decide it finally."

Several years after his death, many of the decisions Perfecto dissented from were overturned by the Supreme Court, most notably Moncado v. People's Court and Mabanag v. Lopez Vito.

In 1958, the City of Manila named a secondary school in Tondo, Manila the Gregorio Perfecto High School after the late Justice.

From Mountain to Sea
A momentous, busy week ! So little time for blogging.
Monday saw the Gaiter Girls ascending Mt Maroon, a very steep, nearly 600m elevation gain. It was a climb I have wondered if I was capable of, for quite sometime.
I now have the answer. Yes!
I will write more fully in a later post, but for now, know that the weather was perfect, the sky brillant and the views sensational the higher we went. Six hours return and endless rock scrambling. I was eurphoric! Alas, my legs have complained ever since. Definitely worth every aching muscle!
Wednesday the Hungry Hikers took pity on me, and we completed a leisurely bayside walk of 14 km. We were blessed with yet another blue sky, winter's day. It was a joy to be walking.
The photo story books I have been creating for my grandchildren arrived this week. My hiking friends have given them their seal of approval.
Tomorrow, two friends share a birthday. I have just completed creating their cake to take on our picnic lunch.
I would love to read your comment!
And the Winner is ............................?
Wednesday 21st July
A group of friends and I decided to be present at Southbank for the announcement from Tokyo, of the 2023 Olympic Games host city. Sitting in the parkland near Southbank's big screen from 4 pm, we watched the excitement mount, even though it was almost a given, that Brisbane would win. The backdrop of the Brisbane River and the city was perfect for the celebrations that followed when Brisbane won.
An early scene of the river, as the firework barges got into position.
The event extended over 4 hours and so we took a picnic to keep the hunger away. Little did we know that this would make us the centre of attention of the media. At least 9 different sources filmed and interviewed us. Our group was seen cheering on the ABC news and three of us had our short interviews aired.
Ch 2 interviewer.
Photo taken for us by the cameraman.
Screen shot taken from the ABC news video.
A little later, after some rehearsal.
The ABC returned after the announcement.
This excited woman was sitting in front of us, so our legs appeared quite often in the media.
It was a chilly, windy day. Unusual for Brisbane, the temperature was only 13 C. Thankfuly we were sheltered from the wind. The sunset colours were rather lovely.
Our Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, delivering the final presentation to the Olympic committee. We were all impressed with the manner in which she presented our bid.
Getting colder and the crowds were building, as the 6.30 announcement time drew closer.
Brisbane is announced the winner! Let the fireworks begin.
Soon all the city bridges were bathed in the green and gold of our olympic colours.
The announcement here quickly spread around the world.
We have a wonderful and friendly city, I can only hope that these games will build on that. Sydney excelled in 2000. I'm sure Brisbane can do the same and better. Much of the infrastructure is already in place.
Congratulations Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Exploring Queensland
Our good friends and neighbours spent the month of June travelling through our state of Queensland. Laurel has just posted their adventure on her blog Strikedonia. She writes beautifully and her photos have captured the vast beauty of the west, along with all its history, both old and new.
I've just completed reading it and decided to share it here. Get a cuppa or a glass of wine to relax with, as to fully enjoy the read, it will take you about an hour. The post is in several stages. When you click on the link below, the post is a synopsis of their wonderful month. To continue reading you have to click on each link in the first paragraph. It may sound complicated, but it is definitely worth the time.

Wednesday 7 July
The Hungry Hikers had a 2 hour journey to the small town of Moore, their destination for this week's hike. Coffee, with toasted pear and walnut bread, was enjoyed before we set off along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, to Linville.
Each winter we try to tick off another section of this lovely trail. The morning was foggy and chilly, [7C] but perfect for walking and enjoying the rural vistas, animals and country aromas. It was wonderful to see the countryside recovering from the drought of twelve months ago.
The engine sculpture was a clever way to direct us to the Linville 'line'.
Once the fog burnt off, fluffy clouds filled the sky in wonderful, ever changing patterns.
Linville - 7km done!
Linville station
The Linville Hotel
The stag head logo of the hotel, alludes to the deer to be found roaming the district. In 1873, Queen Victoria sent a gift of 'six splendid red deer' to Queensland, to celebrate the formation of the state of Queensland.

The countryside.
The animals.
The return - 14 km all told.
Moore Station
A brilliant Trumpet Vine. [Sth American, Pyrostegia venusta]
This vine always makes a splash of golden colour, throughout our winter.
There was a scattered number of cyclists on the trail, but none rode a bike that matched this classic, which was on display at the Linville Hotel.
A brilliant day!
Celebrating an Unexpected Win.


This necklace is made of 1 solid 14K gold 10mm round disc (1.3mm thick) with one 2mm flush set gemstone suspended from a solid 14K gold chain. The gold chain is 18" in length, and is 1.6mm in width.
The gemstones used in our necklaces are all natural gemstones. The ruby and emerald used are natural gemstones but they have been heat treated to enhance the color.
This charm is solid 14k gold, as opposed to some other charms that are gold filled. In order to flush set the stone, the disc needs to be quite thick to accommodate it; you are getting a good amount of gold with this necklace.

In our house, with three rambunctious sons, the Easter Bunny has had to be much more forgiving!!
There appears to be some confusion over where the eggs come from. Apparently, phrases like "do bunnies lay eggs?" are searched up to 10,000 times a month.
Somewhere along the line, real eggs became chocolate eggs – and let's be honest, chocolate eggs are what the kids want most. This makes Easter big business for chocolate manufacturers. In fact, it is estimated that $2.6 billion was spent on Easter candy in general last year, making it the second most popular candy-buying holiday after Halloween. And it is estimated that Cadbury makes over 500 million of those delicious cream eggs (flashback to my youth) every year.
This requires a lot of chocolate that has ingredients sourced from all over the world.
There are also organizations such as Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance that provide certifications for cocoa products, which consumers can use to minimize the environmental impact of cocoa production.
What's needed is an immutable record to demonstrate the ethical provenance of cocoa used in Easter candy. With technologies such as blockchain, a manufacturer can track all the farmers it works with and verify and trace the cocoa as it is transported, warehoused, and processed across the supply chain. Using mobile phones with geolocation, the blockchain could record the exact location of the cocoa beans for every order. This could then be tracked as it gets transported and transformed into liquid chocolate and finally molded into delicious Easter treats.
